Only knows how to kill!
Upon hearing Qing’er’s words, the white-skirted woman was momentarily stunned, then frowned slightly. She scrutinized Qing’er again, and soon her expression grew solemn.
Only now did she realise in shock that she couldn’t sense Qing’er’s aura!
She was already at the peak of the Free Realm, yet she couldn’t see through this woman!
This was utterly abnormal!
The white-skirted woman studied Qing’er once more, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, as if weighing something.
At that moment, the distant starry sky began to churn. The next instant, the space-time before them split open, and a middle-aged man appeared not far away.
He had long hair cascading over his shoulders, hands clasped behind his back, a crack between his brows, and an aura of terrifying pressure emanating from him.
Seeing him, the white-skirted woman, shaken, regained her focus, her expression growing grave.
The man glanced at her, expressionless, “Heavenly Master Sect! A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites!”
As his voice fell, his right hand clenched tightly.
Boom!
A terrifying aura enveloped the white-skirted woman!
Her eyes narrowed, about to act, when the man suddenly turned to Ye Xuan and Qing’er.
Upon seeing Qing’er, his brow furrowed slightly.
Beasts are highly sensitive to danger.
The moment he saw her, unease stirred within him.
Ye Xuan abruptly looked away, smiling, “Qing’er, let’s go!”
He had no interest in meddling in this feud between a human and a beast. Though the white-skirted woman had shown them goodwill earlier, that didn’t mean he trusted her!
People who reached such realms were never simple!
Out here, one had to stay cautious. No intent to harm, but always guard against others.
Seeing Ye Xuan and Qing’er about to leave, the middle-aged man froze but said nothing, feeling a quiet relief.
Then, the white-skirted woman suddenly called, “Wait, you two!”
Ye Xuan turned, smiling, “Something up?”
She thought for a moment, then smiled, “Where are you two headed?”
Ye Xuan said, “Just wandering!”
She glanced at him, smiling, “How may I address you, young master?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Ye Xuan!”
The white-skirted woman smiled faintly, “I see you have remarkable talent. Interested in joining the Heavenly Master Sect?”
Join the Heavenly Master Sect?
Ye Xuan was stunned, about to speak, when the middle-aged man interjected, “Young brother, do you carry some treasure?”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “Why do you say that?”
The man chuckled, “This woman has the Heavenly God Pupil. She must have noticed some divine artifact on you! Her invitation to the Heavenly Master Sect is just a ploy to kill and rob you, or she’s stalling until the sect’s powerhouses arrive!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “Senior, impossible! This lady is so beautiful; how could she be so vicious?”
The man paused, then sighed, “Young man, you’re too naive. This world is complex.”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “I don’t believe this beauty is that kind of person!”
He turned to her, “Right?”
She blinked, “Of course, how could I be so vicious?”
Ye Xuan smiled at the man, “See, senior, she says she’s not that kind of person!”
The man sighed, “There’s no one as naive as you in this world!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
“Damn it!”
The Great Path Pen suddenly spoke, “What the hell!”
The white-skirted woman glanced at Ye Xuan, her smile ambiguous, her thoughts unclear.
At that moment, several terrifying auras emerged from the depths of the starry sky.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s face darkened.
The Heavenly Master Sect’s powerhouses had arrived!
Soon, an old man and a beautiful woman appeared, both in black robes. Their gazes locked onto the middle-aged man, sneering.
Seeing them, the white-skirted woman turned to Ye Xuan, smiling, “Little brother, join my Heavenly Master Sect?”
Ye Xuan shook his head quickly, “No thanks!”
Her smile grew eerie, “I think you’d better come.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, ‘terrified,’ “You… you’re a bad person!”
She laughed, “Good or bad? It’s just about who’s stronger or weaker!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “We have no grudge. Why do this?”
Her eyes gleamed with excitement, “You have lots of divine artifacts, don’t you?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Her lips curved, “Sorry, I’ve taken a liking to them!”
Ye Xuan sighed, “Miss, this isn’t right. The world has right and wrong, you…”
She cut him off, “I don’t want to hear your nonsense!”
Ye Xuan froze, then turned to Qing’er, “Qing’er, your turn!”
Qing’er nodded, opening her palm.
Sss!
Before the white-skirted woman could react, a sword pierced her brow!
Pfft!
Blood spurted from the back of her head.
Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed, and she, eyes wide, was struck as if by lightning, her mind blank.
What happened?
Why can’t I move?
“You…”
The Heavenly Master Sect’s old man turned to Qing’er, trembling, “Who are you?”
Qing’er glanced at him and waved her sleeve.
Sss!
A sword light struck him, erasing him instantly!
Seeing this, the beast emperor’s pupils shrank, and he retreated rapidly in fear.
The remaining Heavenly Master Sect woman paled. Thinking of something, she opened her palm, and a black talisman turned into an arrow, shooting into the starry sky.
A signal arrow to summon thousands!
Ye Xuan glanced at her, shaking his head, “I hate it when people call for backup when they can’t win!”
The Great Path Pen hesitated, then said, “You… never mind! I won’t say it!”
With Destiny present, it felt it should give Ye Xuan some face.
The woman glared at Qing’er, eyes filled with dread and anger, “Who are you? How dare you kill my Heavenly Master Sect…”
Qing’er looked to the starry depths, where the woman’s arrow trace lingered. Her eyes closed, and her palm opened. The Path Sword shot out!
In a distant starry sky, above a giant city, a sword appeared.
A roar echoed from the city, “How dare you trespass on my Heavenly Master Sect, I…”
The Path Sword plunged straight down.
Boom!
The moment it entered, the entire city vanished.
The Heavenly Master Sect was no more!
Qing’er glanced at the woman, calmly saying, “No need to wait. No one’s coming!”
The woman snarled, “No one’s coming? Who do you think you are? You…”
She stopped, as if sensing something, and turned. Moments later, she reeled as if struck, her mind blank, “This… how is this possible…”
The white-skirted woman realised it too!
The Heavenly Master Sect was gone!
Both women looked at the plain-skirted woman. Just now, she had struck once!
One strike to annihilate the Heavenly Master Sect?
They were utterly stunned.
Not just them—the beast emperor was dumbfounded.
The mighty Heavenly Master Sect, gone just like that?
Who was this woman?
Qing’er walked to Ye Xuan, taking his hand, “Brother, put on a show, I’ll kill them!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
What did she mean, put on a show?
Did he love showing off that much?
No one knew him better than his sister!
He laughed, then looked at the pinned white-skirted woman, sighing, “Miss, think about it. With so many divine artifacts, would I be ordinary? Even as a villain, you need some brains!”
She stared at him, “Who are you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan! Ever heard of me?”
She glared, “No!”
Ye Xuan paused, then said, “Then bye!”
He waved his sleeve.
Boom!
The white-skirted woman was erased.
White-skirted woman: “…”
Ye Xuan turned to the Heavenly Master Sect’s woman, who quickly said, “Sir, I’ve heard of you!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Heard of me?”
She nodded, “Yes!”
He nodded, “Then you can go!”
She froze.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Go!”
She hesitated, then bowed deeply, “Thank you!”
She turned and vanished into the starry sky. Far away, seeing Ye Xuan didn’t act, she collapsed in relief, her mind blank.
Revenge?
No!
She had no such thoughts.
A casual strike had obliterated the Heavenly Master Sect. Could she afford to provoke such a person?
“Ye Xuan!”
She closed her eyes, silently repeating the name.
…
In the starry sky, the beast emperor glanced at Ye Xuan, “Why didn’t you kill her?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Can’t use up all the flair at once. Save some for next time!”
Beast emperor: “…”
Ye Xuan said no more, taking Qing’er’s hand and leaving.
As if recalling something, the beast emperor bowed deeply, “May I ask your name, senior?”
From afar, Ye Xuan didn’t look back, “Ye Xuan, Dean of Guanxuan Academy!”
The beast emperor fell silent, exasperated. I wasn’t asking you, why are you answering…
