“Call your sister!”
Ye Xuan was quite helpless!
He was genuinely a bit exasperated. He remembered someone else had made the same demand of him before, that Tian Ye, who had been dead for a very long time. By now, the grass on his grave must be several metres tall!
Of course, he understood!
Saint Kings!
These Saint Kings were top powerhouses between heaven and earth, invincible for so long!
But in this world, the only one who was truly invincible and lived well was his Big Brother!
Thinking of Big Brother, Ye Xuan suddenly shook his head with a smile. He really missed that honest, simple Big Brother!
At this moment, the Xiu Saint King was growing impatient. “Are you calling her or not?”
Ye Xuan collected his thoughts and said seriously, “I’ll call! I’ll call right now!”
With that, he looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. “Little girl! Come out!”
No response!
Ye Xuan was stunned, then quickly said, “Little girl, you can hear me, right?”
Still no response!
Ye Xuan’s expression froze!
Nearby, the Xiu Saint King frowned. “What are you playing at?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “She might be a bit busy!”
Everyone: “…”
The Xiu Saint King stared hard at Ye Xuan. “Are you messing with me?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when, at that moment, the space beside him tore open, and Qingqiu slowly walked out!
Seeing Qingqiu, the Xiu Saint King’s eyes narrowed, a trace of killing intent flashing deep within.
Qingqiu looked at Ye Xuan and smiled faintly. “Not too late, am I?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “He’s looking for you!”
With that, he pointed at the Xiu Saint King nearby.
Qingqiu turned to the Xiu Saint King. “The academy is very busy, so I won’t waste time with you!”
As she spoke, she suddenly took a step forward.
That step was a sword strike!
A sword that split heaven and earth!
As the sword appeared, the Xiu Saint King’s pupils contracted sharply. At that moment, he felt death!
True death!
In that instant, a thought arose in his heart: resistance was futile, and he was doomed to die!
Realising this, the Xiu Saint King was instantly furious. He clenched his right hand tightly and threw a punch, unleashing countless golden rays from his fist!
A punch with all his might!
At that moment, the Xiu Saint King shone brighter than the blazing sun!
Swish!
Everyone heard a tearing sound, followed by the shattering of countless golden rays, and the scene returned to normal!
The only difference was a sword now pierced through the Xiu Saint King’s forehead!
It was over?
Everyone was dumbfounded!
At this moment, Qingqiu suddenly turned to Ye Xuan. “Brother, I’m busy. I’m off!”
With that, she turned and vanished from the scene.
Everyone: “…”
The scene was as silent as if frozen!
Everyone was shocked by what had just happened!
A Saint King, killed in a single strike?
How was that possible?
How could it be?
In the distance, Old Huang looked at the Xiu Saint King, pinned by the sword, his mind blank!
He knew exactly how terrifying a Saint King was, having fought one before. Over the years, this Saint King’s strength must have grown even stronger.
Yet he was killed in one strike!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming!
It was simply absurd!
At this moment, the Xiu Saint King was also completely stunned!
Killed in one strike!
He never imagined he would truly be taken down by a single sword!
At this moment, his mind was blank!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Didn’t I tell you to fight me? But you insisted I call my sister… Sigh…”
The Xiu Saint King looked at Ye Xuan, as if his soul had left him. “I didn’t know she was that strong…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “She’s not even the strongest!”
“What?”
The Xiu Saint King stared at Ye Xuan. “Not the strongest?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I have another sister, even stronger!”
After a pause, he added, “Actually, I have several sisters. Not only that, I have a dad and a big brother. Let me tell you, they’re all truly invincible…”
He shook his head with a smile. “I really want to rely on myself, but my family is too powerful, with too many backers. I’m really helpless!”
Everyone: “…”
The Xiu Saint King suddenly looked up at the sky. After a long while, he whispered, “Boundless Lord was right… The world is vast, and we are all so small… He’s the one who knows how to survive!”
Boundless Lord: “???”
Ye Xuan glanced at the golden storage ring on the Xiu Saint King’s hand and said, “You can go in peace now!”
He hated those who lingered on the verge of death!
You’re already done for!
What’s there to chat about?
It’s delaying his chance to get rich!
The Xiu Saint King looked at Ye Xuan, then his body completely vanished.
Ye Xuan quickly opened his palm, and the golden storage ring flew into his hand. Upon inspection, he found it contained a staggering million Dimensional Saint Crystals!
Ye Xuan was thrilled beyond measure!
Damn!
These Saint Kings were filthy rich!
Absolutely absurd!
Besides the Dimensional Saint Crystals, there were countless rare treasures and divine items!
A Saint King’s lifetime savings!
He’d struck it rich!
Ye Xuan was overjoyed. If he gave these to Qin Guan, she’d be thrilled too!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan grew even happier!
In the scene, Old Huang and the others exchanged glances.
This guy had hit the jackpot!
After putting away the storage ring, Ye Xuan looked at the crowd and smiled. “Everyone, I’m heading back! What about you?”
Nearby, Ye Chen hesitated, then said, “I’m returning to the clan!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Brother Ye Chen, I received the inheritance of Emperor Ye, so I owe the Ye Clan a favour. If the Ye Clan needs help, just let me know!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled faintly. “Definitely!”
He understood that Ye Xuan was extending goodwill!
He was naturally pleased with Ye Xuan’s kindness. The forces behind Ye Xuan were far more terrifying than the Ye Clan!
A peerless powerhouse capable of killing a Saint King in one strike—how terrifying was that?
Even the Ancient Heavenly Emperor couldn’t do that back then!
Ye Xuan turned to Shi Li and smiled. “Let’s go!”
Shi Li nodded slightly, glanced at Ye Xuan, and said nothing.
After the two left, Chu Tian and Old Huang also departed. On the way, Chu Tian hesitated, then said, “Teacher, do you know that woman from earlier?”
Old Huang shook his head.
Chu Tian said gravely, “She… was so strong!”
Old Huang was silent for a moment, then said, “She likely comes from the legendary Divine Wilderness Forbidden Land!”
Chu Tian looked at Old Huang. “The Divine Wilderness Forbidden Land?”
Old Huang nodded. “I only heard of it back then!”
Chu Tian said solemnly, “Are the people from that place all so strong?”
Old Huang replied, “Very strong! That woman probably comes from the Divine Wilderness Forbidden Land, and she might be a top powerhouse beyond the Dimensional Realm!”
He shook his head slightly. “I never expected Ye Xuan to have such a powerhouse behind him!”
Chu Tian said, “He mentioned earlier that the female sword cultivator was just one of his sisters, and not even the strongest. That means there’s someone even stronger than her!”
Old Huang was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “Impossible! That female sword cultivator is basically the ceiling for sword cultivators! There can’t possibly be someone stronger… As for Ye Xuan, take one-tenth of what he says seriously! This guy is flashy and not the least bit honest!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Old Huang continued, “With one Saint King fallen, the remaining eight Saint Kings won’t let this go! Ye Xuan’s sisters are likely in for big trouble!”
He looked at Chu Tian. “Don’t be discouraged! No matter how strong that female sword cultivator is, she won’t surpass you and Ye Chen in the future!”
Chu Tian was puzzled. “Why?”
Old Huang smiled faintly. “No matter how strong the people behind him are, they have limits. But the people behind you and Ye Chen have no limits! With the Master of the Great Dao Pen backing you, your future paths will surely go further than Ye Xuan’s! Most importantly, you both have the Mandate of Heaven, making it nearly impossible for you to die. But Ye Xuan is different. Though the people behind him are powerful, they lack the Mandate of Heaven. Do you know what that means? It means you two are the true protagonists of this world!”
Chu Tian was silent for a moment, then said, “As far as I know, Ye Xuan also had the Mandate of Heaven before, but for some reason, his destiny dispersed…”
Old Huang laughed. “He was abandoned!”
Abandoned!
Chu Tian was stunned, then looked at Old Huang. “Teacher, you mean Ye Xuan was abandoned by the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Old Huang stroked his beard and smiled. “Yes! Of course, that’s quite normal! Look at Ye Xuan—flashy, relying on his family for fights, needing money for cultivation, depending on that rich woman Qin Guan… To put it nicely, he’s the Backer King. To put it bluntly, he’s just a freeloader! I suspect the Master of the Great Dao Pen couldn’t stand him anymore! So, he arranged for his downfall!”
He shook his head slightly. “Actually, he’s quite pitiful, just like that Boundless Lord!”
Chu Tian said gravely, “Pitiful? Boundless Lord?”
Old Huang laughed. “Actually, Boundless Lord was once a man of the Mandate of Heaven too, but he was also abandoned by the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
He shook his head and continued, “After being abandoned by the Master of the Great Dao Pen, Boundless Lord basically became a drifter, wandering here and there, accomplishing nothing…”
Boundless Lord: “…”
Old Huang went on, “Ye Xuan’s fate will be similar! Don’t be fooled by his current swagger. In time, he’ll be far surpassed by you and Ye Chen. Though the Master of the Great Dao Pen has abandoned him, he probably won’t arrange for his death, since he was once chosen. So, in the coming years, he’ll likely become like Boundless Lord, a drifter living in the past, wandering here and there…”
He shook his head again and sighed. “In a way, they’re both pitiful…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Boundless Lord: “…”
