The Backer King?
Ye Xuan?
Within the Void Mountain, a deep voice of the Law declared, “I don’t care who you are. This place forbids unauthorised entry. Leave now!”
Boundless Lord suddenly stepped forward and threw a punch.
Boom!
With one punch, the ten-thousand-zhang Void Mountain collapsed instantly.
At that moment, a golden light shot out.
It was the Law of the Void Mountain!
The Law glared at Boundless Lord. “How dare you!”
Boundless Lord’s expression remained calm. “When I, the Backer King, act, I do so boldly! Unconvinced? Fight me!”
With that, he led Monk Wu and the Divine Being away.
Behind him, the Law stared at Boundless Lord but did not act again!
The Void Mountain was protected by the power of the Law, yet it was shattered with a single punch!
Powerful!
This man’s strength was terrifying!
Under the Law’s gaze, the trio disappeared into the distance.
In place, the Law frowned deeply. “Ye Xuan… Backer King…”
He had never heard this name!
Stationed at the Void Mountain for years, he rarely returned to the Law Realm and knew little of the outside world.
Moments later, the Law opened his palm, and a transmission talisman slowly rose.
This had to be reported!
…
In the Law Realm.
In a grand hall, a furious shout echoed, “This Backer King is too arrogant!”
The voice thundered, shaking the hall!
Soon, mysterious forces surged from the Law Realm, vanishing into the starry depths!
…
In the Void Land.
One day, a young man arrived at the Void Mountain, or rather, where the Void Mountain once stood!
This young man was Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan looked into the distance, saying softly, “That should be the Void Land ahead!”
The Great Dao Brush said, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan glanced around, then asked, “Wasn’t there supposed to be a Void Mountain here?”
The Great Dao Brush replied, “There was once. Now… perhaps due to tectonic shifts, the mountain moved away!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened with disbelief.
At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared before him!
The Great Dao Brush quickly said, “That’s the Law of this place!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, looking at the Law. The Law said coldly, “Outsiders are forbidden here!”
Ye Xuan sneered, “I’m going in! Got a problem with that?”
The Law froze at his words!
So arrogant?
Ye Xuan suddenly pointed angrily at the Law. “Do you know who I am? I am Boundless Lord!”
Boundless Lord!
The Law’s expression changed drastically. “You… you’re Boundless Lord!”
Ye Xuan sneered, “What do you think?”
With a flick of his sleeve, a sword soared into the sky!
Boom!
The sky was torn open with a massive gash!
The Law looked at Ye Xuan. What was this guy doing?
Seeing the Law’s expression, Ye Xuan frowned. Had his sword failed to intimidate?
At that moment, the Great Dao Brush suddenly said, “This guy ranks among the top five Laws, at least at the peak of the Heavenly Dao realm. You might not beat him!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly!
Then, the Law suddenly asked, “Are you truly Boundless Lord?”
Ye Xuan gave the Law a cold glance, said nothing, and walked off into the distance.
Seeing this, the Law frowned slightly!
He still didn’t dare to stop him!
Why?
Because he feared this person might truly be Boundless Lord. That man had nearly slaughtered the entire Law Realm back then!
Moments later, the Law opened his palm, and a transmission talisman shot into the starry sky!
It had to be reported!
If he couldn’t handle it, he’d report it. Whatever happened next was for those above to deal with!
He was just a Law, earning a fixed wage. No need to risk his life!
…
After entering the Void Land, Ye Xuan found the entire place filled with a mysterious force, eerie and unsettling.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Little Brush, tell me about this Void Land!”
The Great Dao Brush said gravely, “The Void Land is a rather special place. My master came here once, but after he left, he never returned!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why?”
The Great Dao Brush sighed softly, “A complicated matter! Also, you must be careful here! You need to understand, you’re far from invincible now!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “What do you mean?”
The Great Dao Brush was silent for a moment, then said, “If someone like Boundless Lord, willing to risk everything, killed you before your sister could appear, what do you think would happen?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
The Great Dao Brush continued, “In short, be cautious!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I understand!”
He looked into the distance, spotting a middle-aged man standing atop a mountain peak, dressed in white, a long flute at his waist.
Ye Xuan glanced at the man, who turned and saw him, slightly stunned before nodding in greeting!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then walked toward the man. Approaching, he smiled slightly. “How may I address you?”
The man in white smiled. “Xue Qing!”
He sized up Ye Xuan, then said, “First time here, friend?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
The man in white smiled. “Welcome!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’m a bit surprised!”
The man in white smiled faintly. “Surprised by what?”
Ye Xuan said, “Surprised that people here are so friendly!”
The man in white laughed heartily. “The martial world isn’t all about fighting and killing! Those who come here are all exceptional talents. Without deep grudges, why make enemies for no reason?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “True!”
Xue Qing smiled. “Are you a sword cultivator, friend?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Sword cultivator!”
Xue Qing nodded slightly. “The path of sword cultivation is the hardest, but those who succeed have combat strength far beyond their peers.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Not that exaggerated!”
The Little Brush suddenly said, “Why are you suddenly so humble?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “He’s so friendly. If I acted arrogant, that’d be too unkind!”
At that moment, Xue Qing suddenly asked, “How may I address you, friend?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Boundless Lord!”
Boundless Lord!
When out and about, one must stay cautious!
Xue Qing nodded. “Friend, are you interested in that Dao Mountain?”
Dao Mountain?
Ye Xuan frowned. “What’s Dao Mountain?”
Xue Qing smiled. “The place where the Great Dao Brush’s master once resided! You may not know, most people here aim for Dao Mountain. It’s the greatest secret of the Void Land. We’re all curious about what’s there, but no one has ever entered!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “The place where the Great Dao Brush’s master lived?”
Xue Qing nodded. “It’s said there are divine relics left by the Great Dao Brush’s master!”
Ye Xuan asked in his mind, “Little Brush, do you know about Dao Mountain?”
The Great Dao Brush said, “I do! My master did live there once, but I wasn’t there! I was already in confinement then!”
Ye Xuan grew curious. “Little Brush, why were you confined?”
The Great Dao Brush was silent for a moment, then said, “A small matter!”
Ye Xuan was speechless!
At that moment, Xue Qing said, “Friend, want to go check it out together?”
Ye Xuan looked at Xue Qing. “Just the two of us?”
Xue Qing shook his head with a smile. “Of course not. There are two other friends!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I’m up for it!”
Xue Qing nodded. “Good! Follow me, friend!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ye Xuan glanced at Xue Qing, then followed!
On the way, the Great Dao Brush suddenly said, “Be careful!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, saying nothing.
Soon, Xue Qing brought Ye Xuan to a mountain peak. On the peak stood a man and a woman. The man wore a luxurious robe, holding a sheathed long blade.
The woman wore a tight, snow-white dress, gripping a long sword.
Seeing Ye Xuan, both nodded slightly.
Xue Qing smiled. “Friend, let me introduce you. This is Brother Li Feng, and beside him is Fairy Zhao Mu!”
Ye Xuan looked at them, clasped his fists, and smiled. “Pleased to meet you!”
Both returned the gesture.
Xue Qing said, “Let’s go!”
Li Feng and Zhao Mu nodded, and soon, the group disappeared into the distance.
About an hour later, they arrived at a plain. At its end stood a ten-thousand-zhang mountain, like a giant beast, exuding an invisible oppressive force!
Xue Qing said softly, “This is Dao Mountain!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is it dangerous?”
Xue Qing smiled. “It’s not that simple, or everyone would have reached the summit by now!”
Ye Xuan nodded, saying no more.
Soon, they reached the mountain’s base, and Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed as he sensed a dangerous aura!
At that moment, Xue Qing and the others suddenly vanished, and dense, mysterious barriers appeared around Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan turned to look. The trio was now tens of thousands of zhang away.
Ye Xuan blinked. “Brother Xue, what’s this about?”
Xue Qing smiled. “Friend, can’t you tell?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “We have no grudges. Isn’t this a bit unfair?”
Xue Qing smiled. “It’s not great! But it’s for survival!”
He glanced at the storage ring on Ye Xuan’s hand, then smiled. “If you must blame someone, blame yourself for trusting others too much!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when a demon beast slowly approached from behind!
Seeing the beast, Xue Qing and the others’ faces changed drastically, and they retreated further!
Ye Xuan turned to face the beast. It wasn’t large, shaped like a bull, with curved horns like scythes, limbs like pillars brimming with explosive power. Though small, it exuded a terrifying oppressive force!
Ye Xuan’s expression grew solemn!
This beast was at the Heavenly Dao realm!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Little Brush, will revealing your name help?”
The Great Dao Brush said, “Across the heavens, who dares not give me face?”
Ye Xuan immediately took out the Great Dao Brush and said, “The Great Dao Brush is here, you…”
At that moment, the beast suddenly leaped.
Boom!
With a deafening blast, Ye Xuan, along with the brush, was sent flying tens of thousands of zhang away.
The Great Dao Brush roared in fury, “Damn it! I’m the Great Dao Brush! Are you insane? I’m the Great Dao Brush! You dare hit me? Damn it… don’t come closer! Damn it…”
