As Ye Xuan spoke with Shi Li, the hundred-plus super experts returned to the scene, all bowing respectfully to Shi Li.
Shi Li looked into the depths of the starry sky, “Third Uncle, it’s done!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the distance halted, glaring at King Yu with a sneer, “King Yu, this is the price of breaking your word! The treaty was set for a thousand years, yet you reneged. If that’s how it is, let’s all perish together!”
King Yu’s expression twisted with rage.
The middle-aged man scoffed, vanishing and reappearing before Shi Li, “Let’s go!”
Shi Li nodded, and as the group prepared to leave, she suddenly turned to Ye Xuan, smiling faintly, “Young Master Ye, care to reconsider my earlier offer?”
Ye Xuan paused, then smiled, “Thank you for your kindness, Miss Shi Li, but I truly value my freedom!”
Shi Li smiled, “Alright! Young Master Ye, you go first!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Miss Shi Li, come visit Guanxuan Academy sometime!”
Guanxuan Academy!
Shi Li nodded slightly, “Sure!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Until we meet again!”
With that, he rode his sword, vanishing on the spot, reappearing in the parallel universe!
Seeing Ye Xuan leave the dimensional universe so abruptly, Shi Li and her group were momentarily stunned!
The middle-aged man suddenly asked, “Lass, who was that boy?”
Shi Li smiled faintly, “Someone I just met!”
The man nodded, “He carries an extraordinary air, not simple at all!”
Shi Li smiled, “Indeed, I hope we meet again!”
With that, she turned to leave, “Let’s go!”
Soon, the group vanished into the distance.
Behind them, King Yu’s face darkened endlessly, lost in thought.
…
Ye Xuan returned to the walls of Guanxuan City. As soon as he arrived, Qin Guan appeared before him.
She glanced at the void above, “You went to the dimensional universe?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Any discoveries?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “That universe is quite different from ours!”
Qin Guan nodded, “It is. Their spatial structure is far more advanced than ours! Besides, their cultivation methods differ from ours, though the end result is the same!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, then asked, “Do you know of the Shi Clan?”
Qin Guan looked at him, “Of course, they’re one of the ten superpowers in the Ancient Wilderness!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I met someone from the Shi Clan in the Dimensional Realm. I found they even dared to attack a king from one of the dimensional universes!”
Qin Guan shook her head with a smile, “That’s normal! The only things the ten superpowers truly fear are the seventh-dimensional universe and above.”
She paused, then added, “Actually, this isn’t good! The dimensional universe tolerates the parallel universe mainly due to the treaty Ancient Emperor Gu signed with the ninth-dimensional universe. Without that treaty, they’d likely have razed the parallel universe long ago!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “But that treaty won’t bind them forever, right?”
Qin Guan nodded, “People in the parallel universe, emboldened by the treaty, are growing increasingly reckless towards the dimensional universe. If Ancient Emperor Gu were still alive, it’d be fine, but he’s fallen.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “True!”
He shook his head, smiling, “Let’s not worry about that! It’s none of our business anyway.”
Qin Guan nodded, about to speak, when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the distant horizon!
Seeing him, Qin Guan’s brows furrowed.
Ye Xuan asked, “You know him?”
Qin Guan nodded, “He’s been lingering outside the city since this morning, purpose unknown!”
Ye Xuan looked at the man, and just then, a large group of over a hundred experts appeared behind him!
Qin Guan frowned, “They’re planning to attack the city!”
Attack the city!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “They want to seize our territory?”
Qin Guan nodded, “Looks like it! But I think they might be connected to that woman from before!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “The woman from the dimensional universe?”
Qin Guan nodded, smiling, “Seems my display of wealth has brought trouble!”
Ye Xuan looked to the horizon, where the middle-aged man suddenly laughed, “You’re Qin Guan, right?”
Qin Guan nodded.
The man laughed heartily, “Someone paid us to take your life, ten top-grade dimensional crystals! Your life’s worth a fortune, haha…”
Before Qin Guan could respond, Ye Xuan’s thumb flicked.
Swish!
His sword unsheathed!
On the distant horizon, the man didn’t even react before a sword pierced his brow.
Boom!
A stream of blood shot out dozens of feet!
Everyone froze!
On the city wall, Ye Xuan sliced with two fingers.
Swish!
The man’s head, about to speak, flew off!
Then, Ye Xuan transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring into the sky. On the horizon, the group of experts’ faces changed drastically. Their leader roared, “Kill him! Ten top-grade dimensional crystals!”
With that, over a hundred experts charged at Ye Xuan!
In the sky, Ye Xuan’s expression was cold, slashing with his sword!
Taoist Array!
The sword qi tore through the air, slicing a million miles!
Boom!
In an instant, the hundred-plus experts before Ye Xuan were erased, leaving a million-mile-long sword scar!
This strike shocked all experts within tens of millions of miles, who looked towards Guanxuan City!
Who was it?
Their eyes filled with shock!
Above Guanxuan City, Ye Xuan sheathed his sword and returned to the wall.
Qin Guan looked at him, smiling, “Impressive!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Basic stuff!”
Qin Guan laughed heartily.
Ye Xuan turned to the distant horizon, saying softly, “We need to intimidate the surrounding forces, or trouble will keep coming!”
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Are your weapons ready?”
Qin Guan smiled, “All set!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “How far can your weapons reach?”
Qin Guan thought, then said, “They can strike from Guanxuan Universe to here, but that’s not enough. Guanxuan Universe is smaller than here, so I moved the weapons here. Now, they can cover one-tenth of the Ancient Wilderness!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Only one-tenth?”
Qin Guan nodded, somewhat无奈, “The Ancient Wilderness is just too vast, beyond imagination. Our Guanxuan Universe is less than a grain of sand here!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Qin Guan smiled, “Don’t worry! My tech is about to break through again. When it does, my weapons will upgrade, covering half the Ancient Wilderness!”
Half the Ancient Wilderness!
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good!”
Qin Guan’s weapons were terrifying, even he was wary of them!
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Xiao Guan, could you research single-target weapons in the future? Area weapons are devastating but can harm the innocent!”
Her weapons, as he said, were too destructive. One shot could kill not thousands but tens of millions, even billions.
Some deserved death, but others didn’t!
He founded the academy to create a golden age, not for slaughter!
Hearing this, Qin Guan nodded, “I’ve thought about this too! Don’t worry, I’m already working on single-target weapons, ensuring no collateral damage!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good!”
Qin Guan shook her head, “This is the flaw of my current weapons, unable to control the spread of power, unlike your sister, who can wipe out a clan or universe with one sword, perfectly controlling her strength! Truly enviable!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I’m jealous too, haha!”
Qin Guan was about to speak when both she and Ye Xuan looked up. On the distant horizon, an old man was gazing down at them.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned.
Qin Guan suddenly said, “He’s from Daqian City!”
Ye Xuan turned to her, “Daqian City?”
Qin Guan nodded, “About a million miles away, another outside force that struggled to claim Daqian City as a foothold.”
She shook her head, smiling, “Normally, having just secured their position, they wouldn’t provoke us. There’s only one explanation: that woman from the dimensional universe!”
The white-skirted woman!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed.
Qin Guan added, “She saw I had ten crystal kings, so she likely thinks I have more dimensional crystals and wants to target me!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Any info on that woman?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “Haven’t investigated!”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “You…”
Just then, the distant horizon trembled, and a massive cosmic ship slowly emerged!
Dumping trash again!
Ye Xuan and Qin Guan looked up as the ship descended. The old man’s expression grew excited, and a group of experts gradually appeared behind him!
They were about to strike!
Ye Xuan frowned, watching the ship. A woman stepped out!
It was her!
In the distance, the old man suddenly said respectfully, “Greetings, Manager Zhang!”
His voice fell, and those behind him bowed in unison!
The white-skirted woman looked down at Ye Xuan, a cold smirk on her lips. Suddenly, Ye Xuan vanished from the city wall. The next moment, her pupils shrank, and as she tried to retreat—
Swish!
The Qingxuan Sword pierced her brow!
Ye Xuan faced the shocked woman, “You like causing trouble, huh? You don’t even know me, yet you dare target me? Who gave you the guts? The Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Great Dao Pen Master: “???”
The white-skirted woman stared at Ye Xuan, “Kill me, and your ten clans will be eradicated!”
