Let her have three strikes!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Three strikes for Qing’er?
Even his father and eldest brother combined wouldn’t dare say that.
The last person this arrogant was probably Tian Ye, and now, the grass on Tian Ye’s grave was several metres tall!
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs-up to the high-level spirit general, “I admire your courage!”
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something and turned to Qing’er, “Qing’er, why can’t they sense your strength?”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “Too weak!”
Too weak!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “Qing’er, forever the goddess!”
At that, Qing’er’s lips curved slightly, her smile breathtakingly beautiful.
Ye Xuan was mesmerised. After a moment, he gently touched her cheek, saying softly, “Qing’er, you should smile more.”
Qing’er looked at him, “I only smile for you.”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, his heart warm as a sunny day.
“Too weak?”
At that moment, the high-level spirit general spoke up, “Woman, are you talking about me?”
Qing’er glanced at him. The next moment, a sword pierced through his brow!
Sss!
In an instant, the spirit general was pinned in place, unable to move.
His mind went blank.
What happened to me?
Who am I?
Qing’er looked at him, expressionless, “You have a problem with me calling you weak?”
The spirit general stared at her in horror, as if he’d seen a ghost. In the Yin Spirit Clan, he wasn’t some nobody—he was a high-level spirit general, considered a powerhouse!
Yet now, he’d been killed in one strike!
Without even a chance to fight back!
He was utterly stunned.
The little girl beside Ye Xuan gaped at the plain-skirted woman, her eyes filled with shock and admiration.
This was too fierce!
One strike to kill anyone!
Then, a black seal slowly floated to Ye Xuan. It was pitch-black, palm-sized, with two large characters on top: Emperor Yin.
Ye Xuan glanced at the seal, then looked at the Emperor Yin Clan leader, who said shakily, “Young friend, from this moment, you are the king of our Emperor Yin Clan!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then smiled, “Senior, don’t you want to reconsider?”
The clan leader shook his head quickly, “No need!”
Having seen the plain-skirted woman’s move, he understood how terrifying she was. Forget this minor spirit general—even at his peak, he likely wasn’t her match!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The clan leader continued, “Everything of the Emperor Yin Clan is within this seal. From now on, all clan members must obey your commands!”
Ye Xuan looked at the seal, his eyes twitching, then quickly stored it, saying earnestly, “Senior, rest assured, I’ll lead the Emperor Yin Clan to glory!”
The clan leader glanced at Qing’er, then said, “I believe you!”
His body began to fade.
Ye Xuan remained silent.
The Emperor Yin Clan had fallen long ago. This was just a lingering consciousness, now exhausted and dissipating into the heavens.
In the distance, the spirit general suddenly rasped, “Who are you?”
Ye Xuan snapped back, glancing at him, “Ye Xuan!”
The little girl’s expression turned odd.
The spirit general turned to Ye Xuan, “No…”
Sss!
Before he could finish, he was erased!
Qing’er opened her palm, and a storage ring floated into her hand. As before, she passed it to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, storing the ring, then checked his current wealth.
He now had nearly ninety billion cosmic veins!
The human race had forty billion, the Emperor Yin Clan another forty-plus billion, plus the rings he’d just acquired, totalling about ninety billion cosmic veins. He also had two clan divine artifacts!
The Emperor Yin Clan had tens of thousands of divine items, all kinds!
Now, he had wealth and gear.
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan turned to the little girl, “Summon all the Emperor Yin Clan’s powerhouses in the city immediately!”
She hesitated, then said, “It’s dangerous. There are still some Yin spirits in the city…”
Ye Xuan looked at Qing’er, who nodded slightly. Her palm opened, and the Path Sword shot into the sky, then plunged into the city!
Boom!
Instantly, countless screams echoed through the city!
That single strike cleared all the Yin spirits!
Seeing this, the little girl’s eyes held a trace of fear when she looked at Qing’er.
This woman’s strength was beyond her comprehension.
Then, an angry shout rang from somewhere in the city, “How dare you!”
A shadow appeared not far from Ye Xuan and Qing’er.
The shadow solidified into another Yin spirit!
It glared at Qing’er, “Who are you?”
Qing’er replied calmly, “Guess!”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then shook his head with a smile. Qing’er was getting cheekier.
The Yin spirit eyed her warily, “You’re not from the Emperor Yin Clan!”
With that, it turned into a shadow and fled to the horizon.
Clearly, it had met someone it couldn’t beat!
Qing’er opened her palm, and the Path Sword vanished.
Sss!
The space where the Yin spirit stood split open. A scream followed, and, bizarrely, the spirit that had fled reappeared in its original spot, a sword through its brow!
Ye Xuan and the little girl were stunned.
Someone who had escaped was back here?
The spirit, terrified, stammered, “You… how could you…”
Qing’er waved her sleeve.
Boom!
The spirit vanished.
Her palm opened, and another storage ring floated to her, which she handed to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan: “…”
The little girl glanced at Qing’er, then said, “I’ll summon the clan!”
She turned and left, thrilled.
She was certain this woman was an absolute powerhouse!
With her protection, the Emperor Yin Clan would rise.
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “Qing’er, what was that strike?”
Qing’er smiled, “Slashing the past!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I can slash the past too, but it’s different from yours…”
Qing’er thought, then said, “There might be a slight gap in our strength.”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile, “Slight…”
Qing’er took his hand, smiling, “You’re already exceptional!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’ll keep working hard!”
Qing’er blinked, “No need to push so hard!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Why not?”
Qing’er’s lips curved, “I’ll take care of you!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Soon, the little girl gathered all the Emperor Yin Clan’s powerhouses—barely three hundred, none particularly strong, as the clan’s true elites had died long ago.
She led them to Ye Xuan, saying, “Meet the clan leader!”
She bowed deeply first.
But the clan powerhouses looked at Ye Xuan curiously, none bowing, some even wary.
Seeing this, the little girl frowned, about to speak, when Ye Xuan opened his palm, revealing the seal from the clan leader. He glanced at them, smiling, “From now on, I’m the Emperor Yin Clan’s leader! If anyone disagrees, fight my sister first… um, beat her, then you can fight me!”
Qing’er: “…”
The little girl stared at Ye Xuan, stunned.
“I disagree!”
A clan man stepped forward, looking at Qing’er, “I’ll fight you!”
Ye Xuan tugged Qing’er’s hand, whispering, “Don’t kill him!”
Qing’er nodded, looking at the man, “Ready?”
The man stared at her, “Yes!”
Sss!
As he spoke, a sword pierced his brow.
Qing’er said calmly, “It’s over!”
The crowd froze.
The pinned man was dumbfounded.
Killed in one strike?
Ye Xuan laughed, “Anyone else disagree?”
Disagree?
The clan powerhouses’ faces darkened.
One strike pinned him!
Who’d dare disagree?
Ye Xuan smiled, “So, no objections!”
They exchanged glances.
Ye Xuan looked at the pinned man, “Any objections?”
The man stammered, “No! No objections!”
Ye Xuan nodded, opening his palm. The Path Sword flew to him.
Ye Xuan froze.
When did the Path Sword become so obedient?
As if reading his mind, the small tower said, “Master, how could it not obey? With Sister Destiny here, if it dared disobey, she’d probably break it!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The little girl suddenly said, “Meet the clan leader!”
The clan powerhouses looked at the plain-skirted woman, clearly thinking she’d be a better leader!
Ye Xuan laughed, “Let me ask you something! If the sister is this strong, then her brother… heh, think about it!”
Qing’er: “…”
The powerhouses exchanged glances, then bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, shouting, “Meet the clan leader!”
Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly.
