Shen Ge Domain.
When Ye Xuan arrived at the Shen Ge Domain, the entire clan was on high alert.
Thousands of True Immortal Realm experts.
This lineup completely overwhelmed the Shen Ge Clan, and with Li Ge absent, the clan lacked a leader.
Inside the Shen Ge Clan.
Li Ming, the current leader, along with the clan’s elder council, personally welcomed Ye Xuan. They were already aware of him.
A super-powerful sword cultivator entrusted by Li Ge.
Thus, the Shen Ge Clan showed Ye Xuan ample respect.
Besides Li Ge’s endorsement, another reason was Ye Xuan’s strength.
A sword cultivator capable of defeating a Supreme Saint Realm expert, how could the Shen Ge Clan dare to underestimate him?
In the hall, Li Ming looked at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, what exactly is Ge’er doing right now?”
The other elders also turned their attention to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan said, “Miss Li Ge is currently in secluded cultivation, in a special place.”
Li Ming frowned slightly. “A special place?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Li Ming and the others’ expressions darkened.
This concerned the survival of the Shen Ge Clan, and she was still cultivating?
In truth, they were more worried that Li Ge had fled.
Though unlikely, it wasn’t impossible, so they were somewhat panicked.
After all, the Ancient Legacy Clan was overwhelmingly powerful.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Let me take you all to a place.”
With that, he brought them into the Small Tower.
He knew that only by showing them the Small Tower would they feel reassured, understand, and join him in fighting the Ancient Legacy Clan.
As for exposing the Small Tower, he wasn’t afraid at all.
Did he need to be?
When Li Ming and the others entered the Small Tower, they were stunned.
Soon, their expressions changed.
Shock.
This scene shattered their understanding.
Ye Xuan then led them out of the Small Tower.
Back in the hall, their faces still showed unmasked astonishment.
Ye Xuan said, “We need to buy some time for Miss Li Ge.”
Li Ming quickly replied, “Yes, yes, we must buy time for Ge’er. Young Master Ye, tell us how to defend against the enemy. The Shen Ge Clan will follow your orders.”
The other elders exchanged glances but remained silent.
Clearly, they agreed with Li Ming’s decision.
At this moment, they could only pin their hopes on Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan asked, “Is there a grand formation in the Shen Ge Domain?”
Li Ming nodded. “Yes, there are nine super protective formations.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Activate all nine formations simultaneously.”
Li Ming looked at Ye Xuan. “All at once? Not one by one?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Li Ming. “To let them break them one by one?”
Li Ming thought for a moment, then nodded. “Understood.”
He turned to an elder. “Elder Gu, activate all the formations immediately.”
Elder Gu nodded slightly and left.
Soon, all the formations in the Shen Ge Domain activated, and endless light barriers enveloped the entire domain.
At that moment, the creatures in the Shen Ge Domain were shocked.
The protective formations were activated.
This meant a great enemy was coming.
After the Shen Ge Clan activated all the formations, the Ancient Legacy Clan’s experts arrived.
Not many, but all top-tier experts.
Seeing so many elite fighters from the Ancient Legacy Clan, Li Ming and the others’ faces turned grim.
In terms of lineup, the Shen Ge Clan was utterly outmatched.
Yet Ye Xuan remained calm. He looked at the Ancient Legacy Clan’s leader, Gu Yi, and smiled. “Didn’t get beaten enough last time?”
At those words, Gu Yi’s face darkened instantly.
A cutting remark.
Gu Yi was about to speak when Ye Xuan suddenly drew his sword, soared into the sky, rushed out of the protective barrier, and stood before Gu Yi.
Of course, he didn’t break the barrier. It was special, allowing exit but not entry.
Seeing Ye Xuan confront Gu Yi and the others alone, both sides were stunned.
Was he planning to take on the entire Ancient Legacy Clan single-handedly?
Ye Xuan looked at Gu Yi. “One-on-one.”
One-on-one.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, everyone turned to Gu Yi.
Would Gu Yi accept?
Gu Yi remained silent.
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed again. “Clan Leader Gu Yi, I won’t bully you. One sword. If I can’t kill you with one sword, I, Ye Xuan, will end my life here in front of everyone.”
At those words, all the experts present were stunned.
So arrogant?
Ye Xuan stood with his sword, calm and composed, his clothes fluttering without wind, exuding the aura of a grandmaster.
One sword?
Of course, he was bluffing.
Though he wasn’t afraid of Gu Yi, killing him with one sword was beyond his ability.
But that didn’t stop him from boasting.
What’s most important in a fight?
Momentum.
You may lose the fight, but never the face. Build the momentum first.
Ye Xuan’s momentum was undeniably strong.
At that moment, Gu Yi was completely overwhelmed by Ye Xuan’s presence.
The Shen Ge Clan’s experts were exhilarated.
Li Ming suddenly smiled. “The man Ge’er chose is truly extraordinary.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but every Shen Ge Clan expert heard it.
The man the young clan leader chose?
What?
The future son-in-law of the Shen Ge Clan?
This son-in-law was impressive.
Everyone was satisfied, even the picky elder council nodded in approval.
Li Ge’s marriage was a matter of great importance to the entire Shen Ge Clan.
Especially to the elder council. Li Ge could decide most things, but not her husband. Her child would inherit the vast Shen Ge Clan legacy.
Thus, Li Ge had to choose someone exceptional.
And this Young Master Ye was exceptional.
At that moment, in the hearts of the Shen Ge Clan experts, Ye Xuan was already one of them.
In the sky, Gu Yi faced Ye Xuan, his expression grim.
Accept the challenge?
He was a bit nervous.
He’d witnessed Ye Xuan’s sword strike before, one that shattered his physical body.
He wasn’t sure how much strength Ye Xuan had used in that strike. If it wasn’t his full power…
Thinking of this, he grew even more uneasy.
As if recalling something, Gu Yi turned to an elder. “Where’s Princess Qi?”
The elder’s face darkened. “We can’t contact her.”
Gu Yi’s expression grew grim.
Couldn’t find her.
Had that woman fled?
At that moment, Ye Xuan frowned. “Clan Leader Gu Yi, neither fighting nor retreating, what are you planning? Here to mooch a meal?”
“Haha.”
Below, the Shen Ge Clan experts burst into laughter.
The Ancient Legacy Clan’s experts, however, looked extremely displeased.
This was too humiliating.
At that moment, Gu Yi knew he had to fight.
He took a step forward, a terrifying aura surging from him, but before it reached Ye Xuan, it was fully blocked by Ye Xuan’s Human Realm Sword Intent.
Gu Yi stared at Ye Xuan. “Let’s see how you kill me with one sword.”
Ye Xuan laughed loudly, his bloodline instantly activating. A red sword intent soared into the sky, turning the area outside the barrier into a sea of blood.
Bloodline power.
At that moment, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and the surrounding spacetime began to fold.
In that instant, Ye Xuan entered super spacetime.
Seeing this, Gu Yi and the others’ faces changed dramatically.
Folding spacetime was something they’d never seen before.
Gu Yi grew even more nervous.
At that moment, Ye Xuan raised his hand and slashed down with his sword.
Seeing this, the Ancient Legacy Clan experts beside Gu Yi retreated rapidly, as the sword’s power was too terrifying.
But Gu Yi couldn’t retreat.
Everyone was watching.
Yet, he had no confidence in blocking this sword. Its power was too overwhelming.
But he had to try.
As the sword came down, a grey-robed elder suddenly appeared in front of him. With a wave of his sleeve, a black light beam met Ye Xuan’s sword.
Boom.
In an instant, the sword light and black beam shattered, sending terrifying shockwaves in all directions. The Shen Ge Clan’s protective barriers trembled violently, and those inside felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Too terrifying.
After a long while, the surroundings gradually calmed.
In the sky, Ye Xuan stood with his sword. Not far away, the grey-robed elder had one hand behind his back, his gaze cold.
A peak Supreme Saint Realm expert.
This elder was far stronger than Gu Yi.
Ye Xuan smiled lightly. “Again.”
With that, he entered super spacetime again, folding the existing spacetime.
He now believed this place was under the control of the Great Dao Pen Master.
The spacetime he’d just folded and destroyed had already returned to normal.
There were Great Dao Laws here.
Seeing Ye Xuan fold spacetime again, the grey-robed elder’s eyes narrowed. His right hand slowly clenched, gathering terrifying power in his palm.
Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate, stepping forward and slashing down with his sword.
This time, he used everything: Human Realm Sword Intent and bloodline power, both pushed to their limits.
As the sword struck, everyone’s expressions changed.
The grey-robed elder’s eyes grew serious. He opened his palm, and black light poured out like a tide, forming a black vortex in front of him.
The sword arrived.
Boom.
A blood-red sword light exploded from the black light, turning the heavens and earth into nothingness. The powerful shockwave cracked the Shen Ge Clan’s protective barriers.
Seeing this, the Shen Ge Clan experts hurriedly repaired the formations.
In the sky, Ye Xuan and the grey-robed elder faced each other. The elder’s physical body was destroyed, and blood trickled from Ye Xuan’s mouth.
Both were heavily injured.
Ye Xuan’s injury was self-inflicted.
Two consecutive strikes had caused a backlash to his body and soul.
At that moment, Ye Xuan wiped the blood from his mouth, looked at the grey-robed elder, and grinned. “Again.”
With that, his Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and a terrifying battle intent surged from him.
The grey-robed elder suddenly said, “Switch.”
With that, he vanished. A black-robed elder holding a long spear appeared not far from Ye Xuan.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Switch, my ass.
Do you think I’m fighting a gauntlet?
