Heavenly Dao said gravely, “Cang Xuan, this is your chance! Trust me, if you’re willing to help, you’ll gain a tremendous karmic blessing. With this blessing, you’ll have a great opportunity for a breakthrough in the future!”
Hearing Heavenly Dao’s words, Cang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile, “Heavenly Dao, don’t try to fool me! What chance? Offending Defiant Dao, what good outcome could there be? You know those guys are utterly ruthless. I just want to live a few more years, honestly!”
As Heavenly Dao was about to speak again, Cang Xuan continued, “I really don’t want to take the risk! Understand?”
Heavenly Dao sighed softly, said no more, and turned to leave.
At the door, he glanced around and said, “Cang Xuan, how long have you been stuck in the Future Dao?”
Cang Xuan replied, “One hundred twenty thousand years.”
Heavenly Dao nodded, “I can tell you responsibly, you’ll have no chance for another breakthrough! Because you’ve missed the greatest opportunity of your life!”
With that, he vanished into the distance.
In the tavern, Cang Xuan fell silent.
Moments later, he shook his head, “Staying alive is more important!”
…
On the street, Heavenly Dao gazed at the distant horizon, whispering, “Young Master Ye, you’d better not get into trouble!”
With that, he disappeared from the spot.
He wasn’t worried about Ye Xuan dying; he was worried that if the Plain-Skirted Destiny was provoked, she might destroy the entire New World with a single sword!
If the New World were destroyed, wouldn’t he, Heavenly Dao, be left with nothing?
At this moment, Heavenly Dao was frantic!
At the same time, he cursed the Defiant Dao members a million times in his heart.
Those guys were truly courting death!
Why provoke the King of Backers for no reason?
Were they too comfortable living?
…
Ye Xuan, however, was perfectly calm, not worried at all!
What was there to worry about?
If he couldn’t win, he’d just call for help!
He had completely accepted this now!
Fight to the death?
That didn’t exist!
He couldn’t win anyway!
At that moment, an old man suddenly appeared not far from Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, looked at the old man, and frowned slightly, “Other Ghost Clan!”
The old man resembled Yi Yi from before!
The old man approached Ye Xuan, “Yi Tian, Yi Yi’s father!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What’s up?”
The old man looked at Ye Xuan, “Did Heavenly Dao kill my daughter for you?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Not for me! For himself!”
The old man chuckled, “Heavenly Dao said you mustn’t be provoked!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Do you know what kind of person your daughter was?”
Boom!
The old man suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, crushing toward Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan raised his hand and slashed with a sword.
Boom!
The sword sliced through, shattering the terrifying aura!
At that moment, the old man threw a punch at Ye Xuan’s head!
In his palm was a purple Dao rune!
Ye Xuan suddenly drew his sword and slashed fiercely!
Draw Sword to Settle Life and Death!
He hadn’t used this sword technique in ages!
The slash unleashed a cascade of sword light!
Boom!
With a resounding blast, both Ye Xuan and the old man were forced back!
As he retreated, Ye Xuan’s mind stirred, and countless intent swords turned into rays of sword light, slashing toward the old man!
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
In an instant, the air was filled with sharp, tearing sounds!
In the distance, a ferocious glint flashed in Yi Tian’s eyes, “Petty tricks!”
With a wave of his sleeve, a terrifying force swept out, scattering the intent swords!
At that moment, Ye Xuan rushed forward, slashing down fiercely!
Great Samsara Sword Dao!
Countless samsara forces erupted like a volcano, instantly engulfing Yi Tian!
Boom!
Yi Tian was forced back repeatedly!
Ye Xuan was about to press his advantage when Yi Tian suddenly charged forward, throwing a punch. In an instant, countless purple lights surged out.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was forcibly stopped in his tracks!
At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished from the spot!
Instant Invincibility!
Yi Tian looked up abruptly, and several clones of Ye Xuan appeared around him. Ye Xuan slashed down, but this time, he used the Great Samsara Sword Dao!
Over this period, he had fully merged the two sword techniques!
As Ye Xuan slashed, his clones simultaneously raised their swords and struck!
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
Several rays of sword light engulfed Yi Tian!
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted, sending Yi Tian flying thousands of feet away!
After stopping, Yi Tian was about to act when Shen Mu appeared in the arena. He glanced at Yi Tian, “He can’t die yet!”
Yi Tian’s face darkened, but he didn’t dare defy Shen Mu!
Shen Mu turned to Ye Xuan, “Can you stop causing trouble?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Look clearly, will you? I’m not the one causing trouble. Your people keep coming after me!”
Shen Mu looked at Ye Xuan, “You really do deserve a beating!”
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly, “I’m waiting for you to kill me!”
Nearby, Yi Tian sneered, “Still waiting for Heavenly Dao to save you? Let me tell you, Heavenly Dao is begging people to rescue you, but they’ve all refused him!”
Heavenly Dao!
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected Heavenly Dao to be running around seeking help for him!
This guy was quite loyal!
Though it wasn’t necessary, Ye Xuan would remember this kindness!
At that moment, Yi Tian added, “And your sister? Let me tell you, we don’t take her seriously at all! When the time comes, you’ll be crying in despair!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Yi Tian, “I beg you to kill me!”
Yi Tian flew into a rage, “Don’t be too arrogant!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “I beg you to kill me!”
Yi Tian was furious!
I beg you to kill me!
This was just too damn arrogant!
Yi Tian couldn’t hold back, but Shen Mu stopped him, glancing at him, “The time isn’t right!”
They couldn’t kill Ye Xuan yet, as the Immortal-Slaying Array wasn’t fully prepared. If they killed him now and drew out the Master of the Great Dao Pen, without the array, they had little chance against him!
Yi Tian took a deep breath and looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan said again, “I beg you to kill me!”
Yi Tian’s expression froze.
Nearby, Shen Mu gave Ye Xuan a cold glance, “Don’t worry, it won’t be long before we grant your wish!”
Ye Xuan shrugged, walked to the side, sat down, and looked at the two, “Come kill me! I really want to die, truly!”
Yi Tian glared at Ye Xuan, his eyes brimming with unconcealed killing intent!
Shen Mu also gave Ye Xuan a cold look!
This guy was beyond infuriating!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “I’m out of Dimensional Saint Crystals! Give me some!”
Yi Tian flew into a rage, “Who do you think you are? Huh? Who are you? Get this straight, you’re a prisoner now! Dimensional Saint Crystals? You’re going to make me laugh to death!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Yi Tian, “I beg you to kill me!”
Yi Tian was so angry he nearly exploded on the spot!
I beg you to kill me!
He had never met someone so outrageously arrogant!
He was reaching his limit!
But Shen Mu still didn’t let him act!
In the end, Yi Tian stormed off in a huff!
After Yi Tian left, Shen Mu glanced at Ye Xuan, “You won’t have much time to be arrogant!”
Ye Xuan ignored Shen Mu, sat to the side, and continued cultivating!
He had deliberately provoked Yi Tian, not just to taunt him. His real goal was to fight!
He was desperate for battle to improve himself!
Seeing Ye Xuan silent, Shen Mu said no more and turned to leave. He arrived in a void where Southern Emperor appeared before him!
Shen Mu looked at Southern Emperor, “Did you find anything?”
Southern Emperor said gravely, “I found some things, but not in detail!”
Shen Mu nodded, “Tell me!”
Southern Emperor said solemnly, “That plain-skirted woman is Ye Xuan’s sister. As for her realm, no one knows. All we know is she kills with a single sword and has destroyed some cosmic worlds!”
Investigating the plain-skirted woman!
Shen Mu wasn’t foolish. Seeing Ye Xuan’s fearless attitude, he felt some unease, so he had Southern Emperor reinvestigate the plain-skirted woman behind Ye Xuan!
Southern Emperor added, “Though she kills and destroys worlds with one sword, that doesn’t mean much. The enemies she faced were very weak. Anyone in our alliance could do the same!”
Shen Mu was silent for a moment, then said, “Anything else?”
Southern Emperor said, “She’s a sword cultivator, rumored to be a Great Sword Immortal!”
Shen Mu frowned, “Great Sword Immortal?”
Southern Emperor nodded, “That’s all the information. The only one who’s fought her is Boundless Lord!”
Shen Mu looked at Southern Emperor, “She didn’t kill Boundless Lord instantly?”
Southern Emperor chuckled, “How could she? I know Boundless Lord’s strength. Even the Master of the Great Dao Pen couldn’t kill him in one move!”
Shen Mu said softly, “If she didn’t kill Boundless Lord instantly, her strength is likely close to his, perhaps slightly stronger. If so, we don’t need to worry too much!”
Southern Emperor nodded, “Indeed, there’s no need to worry excessively! Ye Xuan’s confidence comes from his ignorance of our strength! He’s from a small world, hasn’t seen much, and thinks anyone is a supreme expert! So, we don’t need to waste time on that plain-skirted woman!”
Shen Mu nodded slightly, “How’s the array coming along?”
Southern Emperor said gravely, “It’ll be complete in half a month at most!”
Shen Mu shook his head, “Half a month is too long! Speed it up! Delays could cause problems! Pass the order: they must do their utmost!”
Southern Emperor nodded, “I’ll push them!”
She turned to leave but paused, adding, “When we kill Ye Xuan, that plain-skirted woman will surely appear…”
Shen Mu smiled, “Isn’t that perfect? We can use her to consecrate the array!”
Consecrate the array!
