The middle-aged man looked at Elder Zhang, then at Nan Youyou!
At this moment, he felt things were not that simple!
Could this be executing some secret mission?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man hurriedly said respectfully, “Elder Zhang, forgive the interruption!”
With that, he directly turned and left with the group of powerhouses.
Elder Zhang snorted coldly, then looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Young Master Ye, let us go!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
The three continued forward!
On the way, Elder Zhang smiled, “Young Master Ye, as far as I know, Hall Master Ge has been negotiating with the ancient remnant clans in the Bitter Sea…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Elder Zhang, are you doubting my identity?”
Elder Zhang hurriedly shook his head, “No, no! I am just a bit curious, nothing more!”
With that, he looked at Ye Xuan, waiting for the answer!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Elder Zhang, Sister Ge…”
At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Elder Zhang was stunned!
Sister Ge?
Ye Xuan smiled, “Elder Zhang, we should not pry into Hall Master Ge’s affairs. Whatever she instructs, we do! If you doubt my identity, you can ask her directly!”
Elder Zhang fell silent!
His mind was now full of Ye Xuan’s words: Sister Ge!
What was the relationship between these two?
Could this young man be the illegitimate son of the Shen Ge Clan leader?
Thinking of this, Elder Zhang suddenly had a headache!
He was uncertain, but he understood one thing: the young man before him was also someone he could not afford to provoke!
On the road, Ye Xuan said nothing more.
In truth, he could easily kill this Elder Zhang. A ninth realm powerhouse was no different from an ant to him!
Not to mention ninth realm, even a true immortal realm powerhouse, he had the confidence to slay!
His Folding Method had greatly increased in power, and even true immortals would struggle to resist!
However, he still did not kill the other, because killing him would bring endless troubles!
At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the distant dense forest!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. The next moment, a desolate demon charged out directly.
The demon beast was enormous, like a mountain. This charge felt like the sky collapsing, utterly terrifying!
Elder Zhang’s face changed. He immediately flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying force blasted out!
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the desolate demon was directly repelled, while Elder Zhang also retreated repeatedly. At that moment, a hand pressed on Elder Zhang’s shoulder, stopping him instantly!
It was Ye Xuan’s hand!
Elder Zhang looked at Ye Xuan, his eyes full of shock!
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Elder Zhang, are you alright?”
Elder Zhang’s heart was shocked. He realised he had underestimated this Young Master Ye’s strength!
Just then, the distant desolate demon charged again!
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm. He gently pressed his thumb.
The Qingxuan Sword flew out!
Boom!
With a flash of sword light, the demon beast was sent flying tens of thousands of feet away. When it finally stopped, its entire body of scales instantly turned to nothingness, leaving only flesh!
Elder Zhang stared in astonishment at the scene!
That demon beast was at least eighth realm!
Demon beasts’ combat power was generally stronger than humans’, so an eighth realm demon beast could fight a ninth realm human powerhouse, and the human might not even win!
Yet now, this demon beast was directly crippled by this Young Master Ye with one sword!
And so casually!
Worthy of being Hall Master Ge’s person!
At this moment, Elder Zhang was utterly convinced of Ye Xuan’s identity!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let us go!”
The three continued forward!
Soon, the three emerged from the dense forest, and before them was a vast plain, stretching endlessly.
Elder Zhang said gravely, “Further ahead, we enter the core area of the Desolate Demon Clan! This Desolate Demon Clan…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It is fine!”
With that, he walked towards the distance!
Elder Zhang glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Miss Youyou, why have I never heard of this Young Master Ye before?”
Nan Youyou smiled, “Normal. He is not from our universe! Hall Master Ge recruited him as a top prodigy from another universe!”
Elder Zhang nodded slightly, “No wonder!”
Nan Youyou glanced at Elder Zhang, then smiled, “Hall Master Ge trusts him greatly, treats him like a little brother!”
With that, she quickened her pace towards the distance.
In place, Elder Zhang fell silent!
Key words: little brother!
Elder Zhang pondered thoughtfully.
At this moment, he understood everything!
The three had not walked far when they suddenly heard sounds of battle ahead. Ye Xuan looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, two people were battling a demon beast.
A man and a woman!
Seeing this demon beast, Elder Zhang’s expression immediately became extremely grave!
This was a peak ninth realm desolate demon!
The strength of such a desolate demon was no ordinary terror!
Ye Xuan glanced at the desolate demon and had to admit, its strength was indeed formidable!
The two human powerhouses were not weak either. Together, they had suppressed the desolate demon!
The desolate demon’s power was strong, but its speed was not fast, while the two human powerhouses were extremely agile, dodging all the desolate demon’s attacks!
Soon, the desolate demon was beaten back step by step. Seeing the situation turn bad, the desolate demon did not continue fighting and turned to flee directly!
The two human powerhouses did not pursue!
After stopping, smiles appeared on both human powerhouses’ faces.
At this moment, the two suddenly looked towards Ye Xuan.
Seeing Ye Xuan and the others, the two were slightly stunned. The next moment, they appeared directly before Ye Xuan. Seeing this, Elder Zhang’s face changed instantly, about to act, but the two bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan, “We have seen the Dean!”
These two were from Guanzuan Academy!
Ye Xuan smiled. In truth, he had known their identities from the start, because on both their left chests, there were the identity badges of Guanzuan Academy!
Fortunately, they recognised him and did not create any idiotic dramatic nonsense!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Where is Qingqiu?”
The man said respectfully, “In the Desolate Demon Court ahead!”
Ye Xuan said, “Take me to her!”
The man hurriedly said, “Yes!”
With that, the two respectfully led the way!
Elder Zhang looked at Nan Youyou, full of astonishment.
Nan Youyou smiled, “You will know in the future!”
With that, she said no more and followed. Of course, she actually did not know either!
Elder Zhang was silent for a moment, then hurriedly followed!
On the way, the man said excitedly, “Dean, how did you come here?”
The woman rolled her eyes at the man, “Brother, you are so dumb. The Dean came here, obviously to find the Academy Head!”
The man gave an awkward smile, “Right, right!”
They naturally respected Ye Xuan, because Guanzuan Academy had changed their fates.
Ye Xuan smiled, “What are your names?”
The man hurriedly said, “I am Xiao Qin. This is my sister, Xiao Ran!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and smiled, “You siblings joined the academy together?”
Xiao Qin nodded, “Yes!”
With that, he glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled, “We have always looked forward to meeting the Dean. We did not expect it so soon! And even more, we did not expect the Dean to be so young!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily.
In the midst of talking, they had arrived at the Desolate Demon Court. Ye Xuan noticed that the surrounding demon beasts did not stop them.
Soon, Ye Xuan saw Qingqiu!
Qingqiu was waiting for him at the city gate!
Seeing Qingqiu, a smile immediately appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. He walked to her and said, “Girl, long time no see!”
Qingqiu smiled, “Brother!”
Ye Xuan gently ruffled Qingqiu’s head, then smiled, “Let us chat alone!”
Qingqiu nodded.
The two turned and walked towards the distance!
In place, Elder Zhang glanced at Qingqiu, his brows furrowing slightly.
He could not sense this woman’s aura!
So strange!
Meanwhile, Nan Youyou’s face became unprecedentedly grave!
She recognised this person!
Heaven’s Mandate!
Her ancestor had written a chronicle of figures, and this Heaven’s Mandate was in it!
Thus, she knew of this person’s deeds!
An invincible woman!
At this moment, Elder Zhang suddenly said, “Are we not here to find the remnants of the Ming Empire?”
Nan Youyou glanced at Elder Zhang, then said, “Elder Zhang, we just follow Young Master Ye!”
Hearing this, Elder Zhang was startled. He hesitated, then said, “Understood!”
…
On the other side, Ye Xuan and Qingqiu walked slowly towards the distance.
On the way, Ye Xuan smiled, “I learned a new move recently, the Folding Method!”
With that, he waved gently. In an instant, the surrounding space-time was folded into a line!
Qingqiu smiled, “She taught you that?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Impressive, right?”
Qingqiu smiled, “This Folding Method, you have not fully mastered it yet. Of course, for your divine soul to achieve this level already is very heaven-defying!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Qingqiu added, “You are slowly jumping out of this world now!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “One must grow eventually!”
Qingqiu looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Girl, the feeling you and she give me is that you know everything, but do not tell me, right?”
Qingqiu fell silent.
Ye Xuan looked at Qingqiu, waiting for an answer.
Qingqiu nodded slightly, “We are all waiting for you! Waiting for you to reach our level!”
Ye Xuan looked at Qingqiu, “You know the end of my path, right?”
Qingqiu smiled, “Do not overthink it. Life is about experiences! Enjoy your life, that is all!”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
As if thinking of something, Ye Xuan asked curiously, “I heard my father mention the Virtual True World before. What kind of world is that exactly?”
Qingqiu said, “The owner of the Great Dao Brush is in that world, a completely different kind of world! Like the world inside a painting versus the world outside!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “I understand!”
Qingqiu smiled, then said, “I am taking them back to the academy!”
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed, “Leaving already?”
Qingqiu nodded, “I signed a cooperation agreement with the Desolate Demon Clan. In future, our people can come to the Desolate Demon Clan for training, and their Desolate Demon Clan can enter the academy to learn. Both sides cooperate friendly!”
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, then said, “The Desolate Demon Clan is so agreeable?”
Qingqiu blinked, “They were not originally so agreeable. But after I ‘amicably’ sparred with the Desolate Demon King once, he decided to cooperate with us! Eh? What is that look? Although my sword was only zero point a few millimetres from his throat at the time, I was reasoning with him!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
