When Ye Xuan opened his eyes, he found himself in a grand hall!
The entire hall was vast and empty, devoid of anything!
On the surrounding walls, Ye Xuan noticed strange runes forming bizarre shapes, utterly peculiar!
Where was this place?
Ye Xuan frowned.
Could it be the Other Ghost Clan?
Highly likely!
For now, they were his only enemies!
As if struck by a thought, his brow furrowed. He opened his palm and discovered his Qingxuan Sword was gone!
Ye Xuan’s expression darkened.
At that moment, a woman entered the hall!
Ye Xuan turned to look at her. She smiled faintly. “Hello! I’m called Nandi!”
Nandi!
Ye Xuan looked at the woman. “I’m certain we don’t know each other!”
Nandi smiled. “Of course not. This is our first meeting!”
Ye Xuan glanced around, then said, “Other Ghost Clan?”
Nandi smiled faintly. “The leader and grand elder of the Other Ghost Clan are with us!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Understood!”
Nandi blinked. “You’re not afraid at all?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Nandi. “Why should I be afraid?”
Nandi laughed heartily. “You’re quite interesting!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Miss Nandi, is your target me or someone else?”
Nandi looked at Ye Xuan. “Our target isn’t you, but the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “The Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Nandi nodded.
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “If your target is the Master of the Great Dao Pen, why not go after him directly?”
Nandi shook her head. “Our divine shepherd has deduced that killing you will end all the causes and effects of the Master of the Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan stared at Nandi. “Then why not go straight for the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Nandi shook her head. “We might not be able to defeat him!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Damn it!
So they were just picking on the weak!
Nandi smiled. “Don’t worry, we won’t kill you for now!”
She walked to the side and sat down, then said, “I’d like to chat with you!”
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm. “About what?”
Nandi smiled. “You know Wubian Zhu, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Met him once or twice!”
Nandi stared at Ye Xuan. “He tried to kill you before, didn’t he?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Nandi fixed her gaze on Ye Xuan. “Why did he fail?”
Ye Xuan said, “My sister showed up!”
Nandi smiled. “The plain-skirted woman, right?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Nandi. “You know?”
Nandi nodded. “I investigated! Because of her interference, Wubian Zhu failed! That means your sister’s strength is at least on par with Wubian Zhu!”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Nandi glanced at Ye Xuan. “Not talking. Did I get it wrong?”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “You’re wrong!”
Nandi smiled. “I guessed it! Your sister’s strength is even greater than Wubian Zhu’s!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I don’t want to target Wubian Zhu, but comparing my sister to him—isn’t that a bit disrespectful to her?”
Wubian Zhu: “…”
Nandi’s eyes narrowed. “Much stronger!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “You want to kill me to end the Master of the Great Dao Pen, right?”
Nandi nodded.
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Then why haven’t you acted yet?”
Nandi smiled. “We’re waiting for the divine shepherd. He’s still deducing!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Then I’ll wait!”
Nandi suddenly stood and walked toward Ye Xuan, looking at him. “Why aren’t you worried at all? Who gives you such confidence? Your sister? The Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Why do you think I’m connected to the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Nandi smiled. “According to my investigation, you were once a Child of Destiny, but unfortunately, you were later stripped of that status! Now, you no longer have the luck of destiny! Otherwise, we’d be a bit wary, as killing a Child of Destiny might come at a tremendous cost!”
Ye Xuan said, “And killing me now comes at no cost?”
Nandi’s lips curved slightly. “Of course! Now, our only enemy is your sister, and we’ll find a way to deal with her!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
Nandi took two steps closer to Ye Xuan, staring at him. “I know you’re confident, but you know nothing of our foundation and strength. Once you see how terrifying we are, all your reliance will turn to dust!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Please, kill me!”
Please, kill me!
At those words, Nandi’s eyes narrowed, and the temperature in the hall plummeted, bone-chillingly cold!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Make your move!”
Just as Nandi was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly transformed his sword intent into a blade and slashed forward fiercely!
Great Reincarnation Sword Dao!
With this slash, a terrifying wave of worldly sword intent surged forth!
Seeing Ye Xuan act abruptly, Nandi frowned. She flicked her sleeve, and a terrifying force swept out!
Boom!
As the two forces collided, they erupted violently. The entire hall trembled, and the runes on the walls quaked intensely, with terrifying energies spreading outward!
In the distance, Ye Xuan stood holding his sword, looking at Nandi with a sneer. “Come on! Kill me!”
As his voice fell, he charged forward, slashing again!
This slash combined not only worldly sword intent and reincarnation force but also his bloodline power!
The three forces merged into one sword, doubling its might instantly!
Sensing the terrifying power in Ye Xuan’s sword, Nandi’s brows furrowed. She opened her palm, and a strange rune appeared. The next moment, she charged forward, slamming her palm down!
Boom!
A golden light burst from Nandi’s palm!
Boom!
A wave of blood-red sword light and golden light exploded. In an instant, both retreated rapidly!
Ye Xuan was flung back, crashing into the wall.
Boom!
His body trembled violently!
But he was unharmed, as the Guanxuan Armor crafted by Qin Guan absorbed most of the force!
However, the woman’s power was too great, and some of it struck him, injuring him, though not fatally!
In the distance, Nandi glanced at Ye Xuan’s chest, her expression blank. “Divine armor!”
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. Countless strands of worldly sword intent surged from his body!
In an instant, these intents converged into a momentum!
Worldly Sword Momentum!
Nandi’s eyes narrowed. “Sword intent!”
She had to admit, she was deeply shocked. Ye Xuan’s realm was far below hers, yet he could trade blows with her. Moreover, his swordsmanship was unique and powerful!
A prodigy!
Though she found Ye Xuan irksome, she had to acknowledge that this young man was truly a prodigy!
At that moment, Ye Xuan charged forward, slashing at Nandi!
In an instant, countless sword momentums merged with the slash, like a torrential flood sweeping through the hall, aimed at Nandi!
In the distance, a cold glint flashed in Nandi’s eyes. She transformed into a shadow and vanished!
Screech!
A piercing tearing sound echoed through the hall!
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted, and the entire hall trembled violently. But the mysterious runes held, preventing their terrifying forces from destroying the hall completely!
Ye Xuan crashed into the wall again!
This time, it was far worse. Blood trickled from his mouth!
In the distance, Nandi was also forced back to the corner!
At that moment, Nandi’s face was incredibly grim!
Humiliation!
She, in the Current Dao Realm, several levels above Ye Xuan, had been pushed back by someone so far beneath her!
Utter disgrace!
Nandi roared, her right hand opening. A golden rune appeared in her palm, and terrifying forces surged from it!
Boom!
In an instant, the space within the hall warped!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with ferocity. His unyielding bloodline surged wildly, merging with worldly sword intent into his sword!
No Qingxuan Sword!
Otherwise, his combat power would have been even greater!
But without it, the impact wasn’t too significant!
At that moment, Nandi turned into a shadow and vanished. The next moment, the hall began to crack!
The mysterious runes could no longer withstand Nandi’s terrifying power!
Just then, Ye Xuan transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished!
Head-on clash!
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the entire hall shattered into dust. Ye Xuan and Nandi both retreated rapidly, Ye Xuan flying back tens of thousands of feet!
Nandi retreated nearly ten thousand feet!
Though the hall was destroyed, the runes remained intact, floating in the air.
When Nandi stopped, her face was incredibly grim!
She still hadn’t managed to kill Ye Xuan!
She was in the Current Dao Realm, several levels above him!
Too prodigious!
Looking at Ye Xuan, a trace of gravity appeared in Nandi’s gaze!
She herself had once been a supreme prodigy and had seen many, but someone as extraordinary as Ye Xuan was a first!
So many realms apart!
In the distance, Ye Xuan wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Nandi, frowning. “Is that it?”
Nandi’s eyes narrowed. “If not for the divine shepherd’s orders to hold off killing you, do you think you’d still be alive? Let me tell you, don’t think you’re untouchable because of your sister. In front of our Reverse Dao Alliance, what is she?”
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm. “Someone else was as arrogant as you once, and now the grass on his grave is several feet high. Do you know who he was?”
Tian Ye: “???”
