Himself?
Ye Xuan’s expression turned strange!
How could the powerhouse at the bottom of the well know him?
Could this be another trap set by Boundless Lord?
That Boundless Lord was truly despicable!
Ye Chen and the others nearby were also dumbfounded, looking at Ye Xuan. They hadn’t expected the peerless powerhouse in the well to know him!
At that moment, the broadsword-wielding man suddenly stepped to the well’s edge and gave a slight bow. “Senior, may I have the qualifications to receive your inheritance?”
Self-recommendation!
The broadsword man was full of confidence!
After all, he came from the Forbidden Land of the Future Domain and was the most prodigious talent of his generation!
From the well, the voice suddenly said, “Not qualified!”
The broadsword man froze.
The prodigious talents from the Future Domain nearby were also stunned!
Not qualified?
Even this broadsword man wasn’t qualified?
At that moment, Chu Tian stepped forward to the well’s edge, gave a slight bow, and said, “Senior, what about the three of us?”
Since meeting Ye Xuan, he had learned one thing!
Sometimes, you really can’t be too concerned with face. Face could hinder him from getting rich!
The voice from the well said, “What’s the name of the young man beside you?”
Chu Tian glanced at Ye Chen and said, “His name is Ye Chen!”
The voice paused for a moment, then said, “Oh!”
That’s it!
Chu Tian was stunned!
The voice continued, “People chosen by the Master of the Great Dao Pen… here’s a piece of advice: you two should leave this place, or you won’t even know how you died!”
Chu Tian frowned. “Why?”
The voice sighed softly. “Don’t you know what this place is? The Divine Desolate Forbidden Land! The cultivators sealed here were all those who once defied the Master of the Great Dao Pen. You two, chosen by the Great Dao Pen, if they see you, they’ll tear you apart!”
Chu Tian’s face darkened instantly!
At that moment, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared in the area.
Seeing this figure, the Future Domain powerhouses’ faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Lord Mu!”
Lord Mu!
A tenth-level realm powerhouse!
Lord Mu walked to the well’s edge and said, “If you, friend, are willing to leave your inheritance or join our Future Domain, we will do our utmost to rescue you!”
The voice chuckled lightly. “You can’t save me!”
Lord Mu’s expression remained calm. “You may not fully understand our strength. We…”
The voice interrupted, “You’re wrong! It’s because I understand your strength too well that I say this!”
Lord Mu’s brows furrowed deeply.
He didn’t actually know how strong the person at the bottom of the well was, but he knew they were at least at the tenth-level realm!
At that moment, Chu Tian suddenly asked, “Senior, why are you looking for Ye Xuan?”
He didn’t mention that Ye Xuan was present, as he feared this person might be seeking trouble with Ye Xuan, and saying so could harm him.
The voice from the well said, “I’ve long heard that Young Master Ye is the greatest prodigy of our time. I’ve admired him for a while, so I wish to meet him!”
Chu Tian froze, turning to look at Ye Xuan, his eyes full of astonishment!
Ye Xuan himself was stunned!
This guy admired him?
Lord Mu nearby frowned slightly. Ye Xuan? He hadn’t heard the name!
Chu Tian hesitated, then said, “You say you admire Ye Xuan?”
The voice replied, “Is that not allowed?”
Chu Tian turned to Ye Xuan. “You handle this!”
Before Ye Xuan could speak, the voice suddenly grew excited. “This refined young man must be Young Master Ye! I am Mu Xingzhi. Greetings, Young Master Ye! I’d kowtow to you if I could!”
Kowtow?
Everyone: “…”
Ye Xuan’s expression was odd. “Senior?”
“No, no!”
Mu Xingzhi hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, just call me Little Mu! I dare not accept the title of Senior!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Senior Mu, you know me?”
Mu Xingzhi replied, “I didn’t before, but I do now! Meeting Young Master Ye, even if I die this moment, I’d have no regrets!”
The faces of the others grew somewhat grim!
Was this guy really a peerless powerhouse?
Why did he act like a sycophant?
Ye Xuan asked, “Senior, how do you know me?”
Seeing Ye Xuan ask again, Mu Xingzhi didn’t dare conceal anything. “It was Boundless Lord!”
Boundless Lord!
Ye Xuan frowned. Was this guy setting him up again?
Mu Xingzhi suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, could you come down to the well?”
The well!
Ye Xuan hesitated!
He was mainly wary of Boundless Lord setting another trap. That guy was notoriously cunning, as the case with Jia Wu showed!
As if sensing Ye Xuan’s concern, Mu Xingzhi gave a wry smile. “Young Master Ye, how could I dare harm you?”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then jumped into the well, with Qin Guan quickly following!
The faces of Lord Mu and the others in the area turned extremely grim, their thoughts unclear.
According to their information, the powerhouses in the Divine Desolate Forbidden Land were from the legendary ancient era. Now, the Future Domain had claimed this place as their own, and they had no intention of letting others share it!
Nearby, Chu Tian glanced at Lord Mu and the others, then sent a mystic voice transmission to Ye Chen. “This might not end peacefully!”
Ye Chen nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
After Ye Xuan and Qin Guan reached the bottom of the well, it was somewhat dark. Qin Guan immediately took out a fist-sized glowing stone, instantly illuminating the entire well!
Ye Xuan looked into the distance, where a man was pinned to the stone wall by a talisman.
Mu Xingzhi!
Mu Xingzhi sized up Ye Xuan, then smiled. “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan walked up to him. “Boundless Lord told you to find me?”
Mu Xingzhi nodded. “Yes! Boundless said only you can save me!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “You were imprisoned here by the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Mu Xingzhi gave a wry smile. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why?”
Mu Xingzhi shook his head. “Back then, I was too young, always shouting that my fate was mine to control, not the heavens. I kept thinking about defying the heavens, wanting to master my own destiny… young and reckless, I didn’t know how to stay low-key and endure. Sigh!”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned strange!
Clearly, this guy had failed in his defiance of the heavens!
Qin Guan suddenly asked, “Boundless Lord said Xiao Xuanzi could save you?”
Mu Xingzhi nodded. “He said only you are unafraid of the karmic retribution of the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Did you know? Boundless even tried to kill him before!”
Mu Xingzhi was stunned, then said, “I didn’t know that… Of course, he only told me to seek Young Master Ye’s help and nothing else!”
Qin Guan turned to Ye Xuan. “He’s probably not lying!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Senior Mu, Boundless said I can save you, but I don’t know how! As for the Master of the Great Dao Pen, to be honest, there’s still a slight gap between us. I can’t beat him!”
Mu Xingzhi smiled. “No need to confront him. Just help me break the restriction left by the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan pointed at the talisman on Mu Xingzhi’s body. “This?”
Mu Xingzhi nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Mu Xingzhi said, “If Young Master Ye is willing to help, I’ll serve you for the rest of my life!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Senior, I’ll do my best!”
He walked up to Mu Xingzhi, looked at the talisman, and drew the Qingxuan Sword. “For my sister’s sake, can you give some face?”
Mu Xingzhi’s expression turned strange!
This Young Master Ye seemed so unreliable?
But at that moment, the talisman on his body began to disappear bit by bit.
Seeing this, Mu Xingzhi froze in place!
It worked?
Just one sentence?
Mu Xingzhi’s mind buzzed!
Just one sentence, and he was free!
Suddenly, he felt a pang of bitterness!
Sometimes, the world was so unfair. What you couldn’t achieve with all your efforts, someone else could resolve with a single sentence!
Ye Xuan glanced at the Qingxuan Sword and shook his head with a smile.
The Master of the Great Dao Pen was giving Qing’er face!
Ye Xuan sheathed the Qingxuan Sword and looked at Mu Xingzhi. “Senior Mu, it’s done!”
Mu Xingzhi snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Young Master Ye, go up and wait for me a moment. I’ll be out soon!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
He and Qin Guan left the area.
Back on the surface, Ye Xuan noticed everyone was still there, all watching him and Qin Guan!
Chu Tian and Ye Chen walked to Ye Xuan’s side. Chu Tian said gravely, “Brother Ye, be careful!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Lord Mu in the distance. Aside from the broadsword man, Lord Mu was the only one who could pose a threat!
At that moment, Lord Mu suddenly looked at Ye Chen. “You’re Emperor Ye’s descendant. I don’t want to trouble you. Leave!”
Ye Chen frowned slightly. “Sir…”
Lord Mu shook his head. “Young man, be sensible! After so many years, it’s rare for the Ye Clan to produce a prodigy like you. Don’t bring disaster to yourself and your clan!”
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then said, “I came with Young Master Ye, so we’ll leave together!”
Lord Mu looked at Ye Chen. “In that case, you can die with him!”
With that, he waved his hand.
Boom!
Two terrifying auras suddenly appeared in the area, accompanied by two old men, both tenth-level realm powerhouses!
Three tenth-level realm powerhouses!
Seeing this, Ye Chen and Chu Tian’s faces darkened!
Lord Mu looked at Ye Chen. “Sometimes, choices matter! Since you chose to stay, let me tell you how foolish that choice was! Not only will you die, but to cut the grass at its roots, your Ye Clan will die too!”
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then said, “Brother Ye is my friend!”
He chose Ye Xuan!
For friendship?
No!
As a member of a great clan, he wouldn’t act on emotions, at least not easily.
He chose Ye Xuan because he had always believed in the person behind Ye Xuan!
