Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Xuan, his expression rather peculiar!
Could this Boundless Lord really not be in league with this guy?
He was, of course, suspicious!
But that wasn’t important now!
What mattered was resolving the Xiao Clan’s crisis first.
Xiao Zhan pulled back his thoughts, then looked at the Boundless Lord, giving a slight bow, “Boundless, thank you!”
The Boundless Lord waved his hand, “Discipline your clan well! My intimidating your Xiao Clan this time isn’t a bad thing for you!”
With that, he vanished into the distance.
On the spot, Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment before turning to Ye Xuan, “Young friend, what did Boundless mean by that?”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao Zhan, “Got any Fourth Dimension Tokens? Give me a few, and I’ll tell you!”
Dimension Tokens?
Xiao Zhan was stunned, then turned toward the Xiao Clan’s direction, “Bring a few Fourth Dimension Tokens!”
As his voice fell, a Xiao Clan powerhouse tore through space, appearing above Guanxuan City. The powerhouse handed a black box to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan opened the box and glanced inside, it contained three Dimension Tokens!
Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Young friend!”
Ye Xuan pocketed the box, then looked at Xiao Zhan, “He meant that if he hadn’t acted, your Xiao Clan might be gone!”
He knew full well that with his current strength, he couldn’t possibly contend with this terrifying Xiao Clan!
Damn it!
He wasn’t about to fight to the death!
The strength gap was too vast!
Besides, the Xiao Clan surely wouldn’t fight him fairly, they’d send even more terrifying powerhouses, and if that happened, he’d have to call his sister!
Once Qing’er appeared, the Xiao Clan would surely become a clan-wide crematorium!
That’s what the Boundless Lord meant!
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Xiao Zhan’s brows furrowed slightly. As if realising something, he gave Ye Xuan a deep look.
At that moment, two thoughts struck him!
First, if this kid wasn’t lying and the Boundless Lord had truly intended to kill him, why hadn’t he succeeded with his strength?
Simple, this kid had an even more terrifying powerhouse behind him!
Stronger than the Boundless Lord!
At this thought, Xiao Zhan’s expression grew unwittingly grave. He suddenly turned to the black-robed elder beside him, “What’s the highest-level Dimension Token in the clan?”
The black-robed elder hesitated, then said, “Fifth Dimension Token!”
Xiao Zhan’s expression remained calm, “Bring it!”
The black-robed elder was stunned, thinking he’d misheard.
Xiao Zhan looked at him, “Bring it!”
The elder gave a wry smile, not daring to refuse. He turned and left, returning moments later with a box. He walked to Ye Xuan, opened it, revealing two Fifth Dimension Tokens.
Ye Xuan took the box, then looked at Xiao Zhan, saying earnestly, “Senior, what’s this about? I, Ye Xuan, am not some greedy person! Don’t do this… I’ll feel embarrassed!”
At this, the black-robed elder’s face darkened!
This was classic taking advantage and acting innocent!
The Fifth Dimension Token was extremely precious, even for a great clan like the Xiao Clan, they had very few!
Possessing a Fifth Dimension Token was akin to harnessing the power of a fifth-dimensional universe!
And now, their only two had been given to this guy!
Xiao Zhan laughed heartily, “Young friend, these are mere worldly possessions!”
He paused, then added, “Actually, there’s no deep hatred between our Xiao Clan and you. The unpleasantness between us was mainly a misunderstanding, don’t you think?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Senior, whatever you say goes!”
Xiao Zhan was stunned, then said, “So, our grievances are settled, agreed?”
Ye Xuan glanced at the box on his chest, then said earnestly, “Senior, I, Ye Xuan, am not a petty person. As long as the money’s right… I mean, grudges should be resolved, not deepened. Let this matter end here!”
Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, “Good!”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Senior, you’re just a wisp of divine soul now. If you’re gone, will your Xiao Clan people keep coming after me?”
Xiao Zhan smiled, “They won’t!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s hope so!”
With that, he turned and left.
In the field, Xiao Zhan glanced at Ye Xuan in the distance. Moments later, he looked around, clasped his fists, “Sorry for making you all witness this farce!”
With that, he turned and vanished.
…
Boundless Lord!
Soon, this name spread rapidly across the entire Ancient Wilderness!
The other nine major forces quickly issued strict orders to their clans, forbidding provocation of the Boundless Lord or Guanxuan City!
Though Ye Xuan and the Boundless Lord both claimed no connection, they didn’t believe it!
If there was no connection, would the Boundless Lord be so enraged as to suppress the entire Xiao Clan?
Thus, Guanxuan City became a special place in the Ancient Wilderness!
Backed by the Boundless Lord!
…
Xiao Clan.
After Xiao Zhan returned, the clan’s powerhouses gathered. Leading them was the current clan leader, Xiao Yuan, now reduced to just a soul!
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yuan, his expression complex, “One wrong step, and the clan faces annihilation!”
Xiao Yuan gave a wry smile, “I never imagined the Boundless Lord’s strength would be so terrifying… Of course, this is all my fault. That youth dared to kill our clan members, so he must have backing, yet I didn’t investigate thoroughly…”
Xiao Zhan shook his head, “You’re wrong!”
Xiao Yuan was stunned.
Xiao Zhan looked at him, “From the start, you never took the Boundless Lord seriously!”
Xiao Yuan fell silent.
Xiao Zhan continued, “Of course, it’s not entirely your fault! The Boundless Lord is from our era… no, even earlier. He’s quite mysterious, no one knows his exact origins. I’ve only met him a few times! I only know he knew Emperor Ye and Emperor Gu Tian. But he has little interest in the dimensional universe. When asked before, he said he wanted to kill someone…”
He shook his head slightly, “I’ve never even seen him act, his strength… far exceeds my expectations!”
Xiao Yuan suddenly asked, “Why hasn’t he become an Emperor?”
Xiao Zhan shook his head, “That puzzles me too!”
Xiao Yuan and the others fell silent.
Xiao Zhan suddenly said, “Don’t provoke that youth from Guanxuan City! He’s no ordinary person. Also, prepare a gift and send it to express our apologies again!”
Xiao Yuan hesitated, “Old Ancestor, we’ve already given him several Dimension Tokens and Fifth Dimension Tokens, this…”
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yuan, his gaze icy.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it!”
Xiao Zhan sighed, shaking his head, “In our era, strength mattered, but so did being a person! Being a person is a skill, you need to study it!”
Xiao Yuan bowed respectfully, “Understood!”
Xiao Zhan looked up at the distant horizon, his gaze piercing toward the dimensional universe.
When his eyes reached the Ninth Dimensional Universe, a mysterious force suddenly followed his gaze, piercing his brow!
Boom!
The wisp of Xiao Zhan’s divine soul dissipated instantly!
In the hall, Xiao Yuan and the others were horrified!
…
Guanxuan City.
After Ye Xuan returned, he sat cross-legged on the city wall. Around Guanxuan City, mysterious auras were hidden everywhere!
These were spies gathering information!
Of course, some were just curious!
Ye Xuan’s expression was somewhat heavy!
He had just witnessed the Boundless Lord’s strength and the Xiao Clan’s power!
With his current strength, he was no match for the Boundless Lord or the Xiao Clan’s ancestor!
The gap was still vast!
At this thought, Ye Xuan sighed softly, he had to keep working hard!
At that moment, a woman suddenly appeared before him. Ye Xuan opened his eyes, slightly stunned, “It’s you!”
It was Shi Li from the Shi Clan!
Shi Li sized up Ye Xuan, then smiled slightly, “No-Mind Realm! Reaching it in such a short time, you’re impressive!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Miss Shi Li, what brings you to my Guanxuan City?”
Shi Li blinked, “I missed you, of course!”
Teasing him?
Ye Xuan was stunned, then laughed, “Miss Shi Li, I’m not interested in you!”
Shi Li was stunned, her smile fading. Then Ye Xuan added, “Someone like you, Miss Shi Li, a celestial beauty, with great strength, unmatched wisdom, and the heir of a super clan like the Shi Clan…”
He shook his head slightly, “I know my place. Someone like me, with no backing or influence, how could I be worthy of Miss Shi Li? So, I have no interest in you, not because you’re lacking, but because I’m unworthy!”
Hearing this, Shi Li was stunned again, then smiled and shook her head, “Young Master Ye, you’re too modest! You’re no ordinary person, that Boundless Lord…”
She stopped there.
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “The Boundless Lord and I, we really have no connection…”
He shook his head, changing the subject, “Miss Shi Li, do you have someone in mind?”
Shi Li’s lips curled slightly, a half-smile, “Not yet! What, are you going to introduce someone?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Miss Shi Li… I learned some divination techniques from the Boundless Lord. Want me to read your fortune? It’s very accurate! Love, fate, I can do it all!”
Shi Li frowned slightly, “Divination techniques?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Shi Li thought for a moment, then said, “Go ahead and read it!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Miss Shi Li, may I borrow your hand?”
He extended his right hand, his expression upright.
Shi Li hesitated.
Ye Xuan laughed, “My heart is pure, like a lotus on a snowy mountain. Miss Shi Li, are you doubting my character?”
Shi Li shook her head, “No…”
With that, she hesitated but placed her right hand in Ye Xuan’s.
Ye Xuan held her hand, gently stroking it, “Miss Shi Li, don’t be nervous. This is the bone-reading method the Boundless Lord taught me for divination…”
Boundless Lord: “???”
…
