Ye Xuan ignored the old man and wandered aimlessly through the city.
He was very curious about the Pan clan’s civilisation.
It had to be said, as the capital of the Pan clan, Panwang City’s avenues were brimming with incredibly rich spiritual energy.
Now he understood why the Pan clan had so many powerful figures.
The spiritual energy in the avenues was simply abundant.
Outside, this was unimaginable.
Even in the Dao Court, avenue spiritual energy was extremely rare, yet here it was everywhere.
Ye Xuan glanced around, deciding to stay and cultivate here.
He wasn’t leaving.
Just then, Ye Xuan turned to look at a shop with the sign: Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Curious, Ye Xuan walked into the hall. As soon as he entered, a beautiful woman approached. When she saw him, she paused slightly, “Human?”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
He had concealed his aura earlier, so no one should have been able to tell he was human by his energy.
This was done to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, this was the Pan clan’s territory.
He hadn’t expected this Pan clan woman to recognise him as human.
The beautiful woman sized up Ye Xuan, then said, “You really are human. How did you get here?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Miss, do you sell divine items here?”
The beautiful woman nodded slightly, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Can I take a look?”
She hesitated, then said, “You can look, but I can’t sell to you.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
The beautiful woman looked at him, “You’re human. Pan clan law forbids marriage or contact with humans. Violators are permanently expelled from the clan.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Is this a decree from your Pan clan king?”
The beautiful woman said calmly, “It was set by the first Pan clan king.”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “I’m human, aren’t you going to report me?”
She glanced at him, “I don’t want trouble.”
This human had made it here, so he was no ordinary person. She didn’t want to stir up problems for herself.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Can you show me your divine weapons?”
The beautiful woman nodded slightly, “Follow me.”
She led Ye Xuan to the second floor of the pavilion. Inside, he saw countless divine weapons and sharp tools on display.
Ye Xuan spotted a sword.
He walked to it. The sword was pitch black, but upon closer inspection, it shimmered with faint starlight. An ancient character was carved on the hilt.
Ye Xuan looked at the beautiful woman, who said, “Pan King Sword, the sword used by our clan’s ancestor. It contains the extremely powerful Pan Divine Power, which is supremely strong and domineering.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Can I touch it?”
She nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan picked up the Pan King Sword, instantly feeling a terrifyingly immense power, like a vast ocean, unfathomably deep.
Pan Divine Power.
Ye Xuan looked at the beautiful woman, “How much for this sword?”
She shook her head, “It’s not for sale.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Not for sale to humans?”
She nodded, “This sword must never fall into human hands. Those not of our clan have different intentions.”
Ye Xuan smiled, returned the Pan King Sword to her, and then she said, “Are you from the Outer Order?”
Ye Xuan was startled. This woman was no ordinary person.
Outer Order.
She was definitely not just any woman.
The beautiful woman said, “Don’t be shocked. I’m a bit special, so I can see through your concealment.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “How should I address you, miss?”
The beautiful woman said, “Pan Jin’er.”
Ye Xuan said, “Miss Jin’er, do you think the Pan clan and humans can’t coexist peacefully?”
Pan Jin’er’s expression remained calm, “That’s too heavy a question for me to answer. If you have no other business, please leave.”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “Alright.”
He turned to leave.
Before he could exit the Divine Weapon Pavilion, the old man appeared in front of him, looking at Ye Xuan, “The Grand Preceptor wishes to see you.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “Grand Preceptor?”
The old man said calmly, “The Pan clan’s Grand Preceptor.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Male or female?”
The old man looked at him, “Female.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “That should make things easier. Lead the way, please.”
As the old man was about to leave, he saw Pan Jin’er, paused, and quickly gave a deep bow, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Your Highness.
Ye Xuan froze, turning to look at Pan Jin’er.
Pan Jin’er said, “The Grand Preceptor wants to see him?”
The old man nodded quickly, “Yes.”
Pan Jin’er said, “I’ll go with you.”
The old man hesitated, then said, “Alright.”
Pan Jin’er glanced at Ye Xuan, “Let’s go.”
She walked out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Led by the old man, the three arrived at a garden. Upon entering, Ye Xuan saw a woman by a lotus pond, dressed in a light blue gown, holding an ancient book.
When the three arrived, the woman put down her book and turned to Ye Xuan, who then saw her face.
She was undeniably beautiful.
Her features were exquisitely delicate, with a high nose, large eyes, and a faint smile that felt very comforting.
The woman glanced at the old man, smiling, “You may leave.”
The old man quickly retreated.
She smiled, “How should I address you, sir?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan.”
She smiled, “Young Master Ye, hello. I’m the Pan clan’s Grand Preceptor. You can call me Grand Preceptor Pan.”
She paused, then said, “I heard Young Master Ye came to our Pan clan to challenge our true powerhouses?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes.”
She looked at him, “Just for a friendly spar?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Yes.”
She thought for a moment, then smiled, “That’s interesting. I thought you came for the avenue spiritual energy.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Grand Preceptor Pan’s strength is unfathomable.”
She shook her head with a smile, “I don’t like fighting. Don’t worry, Young Master Ye, I’ll arrange a strong opponent for you, one that will satisfy you.”
Ye Xuan said, “Saint Realm?”
Grand Preceptor Pan smiled, “Don’t worry, it’ll be enough for you to fight. But fists and feet have no eyes, if something goes wrong…”
Ye Xuan said, “I bear the consequences of life and death.”
Grand Preceptor Pan nodded, “Good. Follow me, Young Master Ye.”
With a gentle wave of her sleeve, the three instantly vanished.
Moments later, they appeared in an unknown void. After entering, Grand Preceptor Pan glanced at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Young Master Ye, are you sure you want to fight?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Of course.”
Grand Preceptor Pan nodded slightly, then turned, “Pan Nan, spar with Young Master Ye.”
As her voice fell, a tall, burly man appeared nearby, his arms bulging with veins, radiating explosive power.
Heavenly Knowledge Saint Realm.
Seeing the opponent was also in the Heavenly Knowledge Saint Realm, Ye Xuan frowned slightly but said nothing. He wouldn’t underestimate any Heavenly Knowledge Saint Realm powerhouse, as he didn’t believe he was invincible in this realm.
Pan Nan looked at Ye Xuan, slowly clenching his right fist, silent.
Grand Preceptor Pan suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, begin.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Alright.”
He took a step towards Pan Nan, instantly appearing before him. In the next moment, he drew his sword and slashed.
This time, he used the Qingxuan Sword. As the sword struck, Pan Nan’s expression changed drastically. He threw a fierce punch.
Boom.
A golden fist aura surged from Pan Nan’s fist, instantly causing the entire void to boil.
Head-on clash.
Boom.
A burst of fist aura and sword light erupted. The two retreated wildly, covering tens of thousands of feet.
When they stopped, Pan Nan’s right arm exploded, blood splattering, while a trickle of blood seeped from Ye Xuan’s mouth.
Both were injured, but Pan Nan was hurt worse.
Seeing this, Grand Preceptor Pan frowned.
Pan Jin’er, beside her, said gravely, “This man’s background is extraordinary.”
Grand Preceptor Pan nodded slightly, “He’s from the Outer Order, meaning he doesn’t follow the Dao of the Avenue Pen Master. Yet he’s survived until now without following that path, which is highly unusual.”
Her eyes narrowed, “I wonder what his true purpose is in coming to our Pan clan.”
Pan Jin’er said gravely, “Have you investigated his origins?”
Grand Preceptor Pan said, “My people have gone to the Dao Court. We should have news soon.”
Pan Jin’er nodded slightly, looking at Pan Nan, “Can Pan Nan defeat him?”
Grand Preceptor Pan was about to speak when Ye Xuan suddenly vanished. A sword light slashed towards Pan Nan.
Rip.
The void was instantly torn apart.
Pan Nan’s expression changed drastically. He charged forward, clenching his left fist and throwing a punch, unleashing a world-destroying force.
This punch carried a million years of power.
They chose to clash head-on again.
Boom.
A deafening explosion rang out as sword light and fist aura shattered. A terrifying shockwave spread, annihilating the void.
Ye Xuan and Pan Nan retreated again. Ye Xuan stopped after a thousand feet, while Pan Nan retreated tens of thousands of feet. When he stopped, his left arm exploded, blood spraying.
Pan Nan was stunned.
From afar, Ye Xuan shook his head, “Send a Saint Realm fighter.”
He turned to leave, took two steps, then looked up at a forty-degree angle, “Invincible, how lonely.”
Grand Preceptor Pan and Pan Jin’er, “…”
