Hearing the old man’s words, Ye Xuan was momentarily speechless.
But he felt more relieved and happy.
Because the people from Guanxuan Academy had already expanded to this area.
The old man ignored Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi, turning to the armored woman, who looked at him as if he were an idiot, her eyes tinged with pity.
This look deeply hurt the old man.
He turned to Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi, his brows soon furrowing.
Because the two were remarkably calm.
At that moment, a trace of unease rose in the old man’s heart.
Her Highness Qi suddenly asked, “What are these TianYuan Ruins?”
The old man looked at her, remaining silent.
Ye Xuan shook his head, smiling, “Let’s just go to the Left Realm.”
“Left Realm.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, both the old man and the armored woman’s expressions changed.
The old man looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, “You’re going to the Left Realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Is there a problem?”
The old man said solemnly, “The Left Realm has a powerful cosmic barrier, how could you possibly get through?”
Ye Xuan turned to Her Highness Qi, who nodded slightly, “There is one, but it’s fine, I have a pass.”
At that moment, the armored woman exclaimed, “You’re from the Left Realm Daomen.”
Her Highness Qi glanced at her, surprised, “You know about the Left Realm Daomen?”
The armored woman looked at Her Highness Qi with a hint of wariness.
The old man suddenly asked, “Is the Left Realm Daomen powerful?”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “What do you think?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “What happened earlier was just a misunderstanding.”
At that moment, he finally realised how extraordinary these two were.
They might be major figures.
Her Highness Qi smiled, then looked at Ye Xuan, “Kill him?”
The old man’s face changed instantly.
Ye Xuan smiled, “If you want to kill him, go ahead, why ask me?”
Her Highness Qi blinked, “Don’t I need your opinion?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “He has harmful intentions, so kill him.”
Her Highness Qi didn’t act.
Ye Xuan glanced at the now-panicking old man, “Is there something special about this old man?”
Her Highness Qi said, “He has two fates. First, he dies here. Second, he helps build the Guanxuan Academy here in the future, becoming a local bigwig.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Helps build the Guanxuan Academy?”
Her Highness Qi nodded, “Yes.”
The old man hurriedly said, “I’m willing to help build the Guanxuan Academy.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why should I trust you?”
The old man stammered, “I…”
Ye Xuan suddenly swung a sword to the right.
Slash.
The entire star domain was split in two.
Seeing this, the old man and the armored woman were stunned.
Ye Xuan looked at the old man, “Do you know who I am now?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “You’re that Dean Ye?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Smart.”
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, silent, but his eyes held a trace of wariness.
Rumours said this Dean Ye was ruthless, even daring to kill his own father.
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’ll spare your life for now. When I return to this place, if you haven’t helped my people build the academy, I’ll take your life then.”
The old man nodded quickly, “Yes, yes.”
Ye Xuan asked, “What treasures are in the TianYuan Ruins?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “There are treasures, many of them.”
Many.
Ye Xuan nodded, “Take us to see.”
The old man hesitated, “Dean Ye, the TianYuan Ruins are very dangerous.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Was my sword strike just now not enough to show I’m a peerless master?”
The old man: “…”
Her Highness Qi smiled, “Take us there.”
Though reluctant, the old man nodded, but soon glanced at the armored woman.
She looked at Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi, then said, “I have no objections.”
Thus, the group headed to the TianYuan Ruins.
Upon arriving, Ye Xuan understood why it was called TianYuan.
The TianYuan Ruins, located in the starry sky, was a massive cosmic abyss, bottomless and eerie.
The old man said solemnly, “Within the TianYuan Ruins lies a once immensely powerful sect, TianYuan Sect. It was the supreme overlord of the TianYuan Star Domain, but for unknown reasons, the entire sect was wiped out and vanished. For years, people in the TianYuan Star Domain have been searching for it.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the abyss’s bottom, then turned to Her Highness Qi, who smiled, “In this world, few can threaten you, Young Master Ye. You could walk sideways.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, I believe you, my foot.
This woman always fed him flattery, though her words weren’t wrong.
Ye Xuan said, “Let’s go in.”
He walked straight toward the abyss.
Her Highness Qi followed closely.
The old man hesitated, but the armored woman didn’t, following without pause.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly followed.
TianYuan Ruins.
He still wanted to take a look.
Soon, they entered the abyss’s interior. After some time, a blinding white light appeared before them.
Dazzlingly intense.
Seeing this, the armored woman and the old man’s faces changed.
Previously, this white light had blocked them.
At that moment, Ye Xuan waved his sleeve, and the white light dispersed. Soon, the three appeared on a vast bluestone plaza.
Not far ahead stood hundreds of magnificent halls.
TianYuan Sect.
The entire sect was littered with skeletal remains.
It had been annihilated.
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions grew solemn.
Ye Xuan scanned the surroundings, then walked toward a distant hall.
Upon entering, they saw a statue.
The armored woman suddenly said, “This is Lu Xinghe, the greatest powerhouse of TianYuan Continent back then.”
Lu Xinghe.
The old man said solemnly, “A legendary figure, the unrivalled powerhouse of TianYuan Continent.”
At that moment, the statue trembled slightly, and a middle-aged man slowly emerged.
Seeing this, the old man and the armored woman’s faces changed.
Lu Xinghe.
Lu Xinghe looked at Ye Xuan and Her Highness Qi, his gaze settling on her, “Daomen.”
Her Highness Qi nodded, “Yes.”
Lu Xinghe chuckled, “I never thought you’d still be so persistent, waiting here all these years.”
Her Highness Qi frowned, “What are you saying?”
Ye Xuan was also puzzled.
Lu Xinghe smiled, “Aren’t you here to finish us off?”
Her Highness Qi shook her head, “Why would I…”
She paused, frowning, “Was it Daomen that destroyed your TianYuan Sect?”
Lu Xinghe smiled, “You’re not from Daomen?”
Her Highness Qi shook her head, “I was away from Daomen for a long time.”
Lu Xinghe frowned, “You’re from the Left Realm Daomen?”
Her Highness Qi nodded, “Yes, but I haven’t been in Daomen for a long time.”
Lu Xinghe was silent.
Her Highness Qi asked, “What law did you break?”
Lu Xinghe laughed, “Break the law?”
Her Highness Qi said, “Daomen destroyed you, you must have violated some rule.”
Lu Xinghe smiled, “If I said they just wanted to rob us, would you believe me?”
Her Highness Qi was silent.
Robbery.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Daomen plundered TianYuan Sect?”
Lu Xinghe nodded, “Yes. All of TianYuan Sect’s wealth, including the Heavenly Way Divine Map, was taken by Daomen.”
Her Highness Qi suddenly asked, “You had the Heavenly Way Divine Map?”
Ye Xuan was curious, “What’s the Heavenly Way Divine Map?”
Her Highness Qi said, “A divine map created by the Master of the Great Dao Pen. It contains a terrifying formation, unlike others, as it can be drawn on the body, using the body as the formation, capable of annihilating all heavens with a snap.”
She paused, then added, “It’s said the Heavenly Way Divine Map was drawn with the Great Dao Pen, so the formation can sever fate and karma, very fearsome.”
Great Dao Pen.
Ye Xuan immediately asked, “Little Pen, is it true?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “Yes. The Heavenly Way Divine Map was indeed drawn by my master, containing a very powerful formation, designed to kill certain special people.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “What kind of special people?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “Those with heavy karma, whose deaths would cause big trouble, or those protected by special luck.”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Like me?”
The Great Dao Pen said, “You could say that. But this thing can’t kill you.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why not?”
The Great Dao Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “Your sisters are too strong. Happy now?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “That’s not what I meant.”
The Great Dao Pen was silent.
Lu Xinghe smiled, “Daomen’s methods are anything but ordinary.”
Her Highness Qi asked, “Do you know who led it?”
Lu Xinghe looked at her, “He wore a mask, I couldn’t see his face, but when we fought, he underestimated my strength. At a critical moment, he drew a dao map with two fingers, summoning a terrifying mysterious force.”
Her Highness Qi frowned, “It was him.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, and she said solemnly, “Daoya, Daomen’s second-in-command, a Heavenly Law Realm powerhouse.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is his status higher than yours?”
Her Highness Qi said, “I’m special in Daomen, I only answer to the Dao Master, he can’t control me, but I can’t control him either.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is the Dao Master good or bad?”
Her Highness Qi was silent for a moment, then said, “I don’t know if the Dao Master was involved. But I don’t think so, because if he was, Daoya wouldn’t need to hide his identity. He could have openly obtained a decree to destroy TianYuan Sect.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Will you tell the Dao Master?”
Her Highness Qi shook her head, “It’s pointless. Even if I did, it’s been so long, the Dao Master probably wouldn’t blame Daoya. It’s not worth offending a supporter over a sect that’s already gone.”
She looked at Ye Xuan, passing the ball back, “If you want to seek justice, I have a way. Go to Daomen and file an imperial complaint. Then, the Dao Master faces two choices, act or not. If he acts, Daoya’s crime is enough for ten deaths. If he doesn’t, he’s knowingly breaking the law. Then, you make it a big deal and destroy Daomen. And the Master of the Great Dao Pen can’t do anything to you, you’d be in the right, doing a good deed.”
Destroy Daomen.
Everyone in the room looked at the two, their expressions utterly strange.
Destroy Daomen, that easy?
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Why not go directly to the Master of the Great Dao Pen?”
Her Highness Qi said calmly, “If you go to him, he’ll deal with them, but then do you have a reason to destroy Daomen? Daomen has been running the Left Realm for years, their wealth is unimaginable. If you destroy them, do you know how much you’d gain? Unthinkable. Oh, and share some with me. Also, I want to take some books from Daomen’s Great Dao Library, and a couple of their divine artifacts, that’s not too much, right?”
Everyone: “…”
