Under the tree, the woman in the white dress looked at the two paper cranes, still very curious!
However, she didn’t try to touch them again!
The sword light from earlier had already warned her!
At that moment, the fortune-teller suddenly reappeared. He bowed slightly to the woman in the white dress, “Miss!”
The woman in the white dress smiled, “How does it feel?”
The fortune-teller gave a bitter smile.
The woman in the white dress said softly, “Now you understand there are always greater people and heavens beyond, don’t you?”
The fortune-teller nodded.
The woman in the white dress glanced around and said softly, “It’s about time to return.”
The fortune-teller hesitated, then asked, “Is it because of those two siblings?”
The woman in the white dress nodded, “Their trip to the Posuo Realm will likely turn it upside down.”
The fortune-teller said gravely, “The destined one isn’t the most dangerous. The most dangerous is that sword-wielding woman. Her strength is like a mystery, completely unfathomable to me.”
The woman in the white dress chuckled, “The royal clan is quite unlucky. No, as you said, this is all retribution. They never restrained that Third Young Master’s actions, and now, retribution has come.”
The fortune-teller hesitated, then asked, “Can those siblings destroy the royal clan?”
The woman in the white dress glanced at him, “I had my doubts before, but just now, I stopped doubting. Let alone the royal clan, even my Li clan couldn’t stop that girl.”
Hearing this, the fortune-teller was stunned.
In the Posuo Realm, there were four major clans: the Li clan, the royal clan, the Zhao clan, and the Han clan.
Among them, the Zhao clan was the strongest, followed by the Li clan, with the royal clan being the weakest.
But even as the weakest, the royal clan was undeniably a supreme hegemon in the outside world.
The woman in the white dress looked up at the two paper cranes and smiled, “Looks like I won’t get to know their contents.”
With that, she turned and left.
The fortune-teller hurriedly followed.
…
Somewhere in the starry sky.
Ye Xuan glanced at Qing’er beside him and smiled, “Qing’er, you don’t seem to like fighting much.”
Qing’er nodded, “I really don’t like it much.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Qing’er smiled, “All this fighting and killing isn’t particularly good.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Among the various Qing’ers, this one was the kindest.
If the Third Young Master had provoked Ye Qingqing or the plain-skirt Qing’er, the Posuo Realm would probably be gone by now.
Qing’er in the white dress suddenly said, “Brother!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, and she smiled faintly, “I know you killed him because of me. Actually, I’m not angry.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why not?”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “To use an analogy, would you get angry over two ants?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Goodness!
Was that an analogy? That was a stab to the heart!
Qing’er smiled faintly, “I don’t mean to look down on others. It’s just that their actions truly don’t make me angry. Of course, I’d kill someone too, depending on how far they go. But this royal clan definitely needs to be wiped out.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why?”
Qing’er blinked, “It’s fine if they make me angry, but they can’t threaten you, Brother. Since they dared to threaten you, I’ll definitely kill them all.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his heart warmed.
Nian Ya glanced at Qing’er and sighed inwardly.
She had to admit, Xiao Qing had a great temperament. In all their time together, she had never seen Xiao Qing get angry.
But now she realized Xiao Qing had a reverse scale, her brother.
That was absolutely untouchable.
The royal clan was in for it.
Not long after, the three arrived at the entrance to the Posuo Realm. There was a cosmic barrier, a special one reinforced with countless mysterious ancient arrays.
Ye Xuan was about to act when Qing’er suddenly smiled, “Let me handle it.”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Can’t I break it?”
Qing’er smiled, “You can. But, I’ll do it.”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Qing’er smiled, then walked to the cosmic barrier and swung her sword.
Rip!
With a flash of sword light, the cosmic barrier was torn apart.
Qing’er looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan nodded, and the three were about to enter when a furious shout came from deep within the barrier’s passage, “How dare you!”
Boom!
As the voice fell, a terrifying aura swept towards them.
Ye Xuan frowned. Soon, a black-robed elder appeared before the three.
Ye Xuan looked at him, “What are you doing?”
The black-robed elder roared, “What am I doing? Who gave you the audacity to trespass into the Posuo Realm? Don’t you want to live?”
Ye Xuan sized up the elder, then asked, “Are you from the Dao Sect?”
The black-robed elder stared at Ye Xuan, “Yes.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, opened his palm, and the Dao Seal appeared.
Seeing the seal, the elder’s pupils shrank, “You…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Take me to the royal clan.”
The elder hesitated, then asked, “May I ask who you are?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Just follow orders.”
The elder hurriedly said, “Yes, yes.”
He quickly bowed.
Ye Xuan said, “Lead the way.”
On the way, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “How strong is the Dao Sect in the Posuo Realm?”
The elder smiled faintly, “Comparable to the four major clans, but we’re more detached and generally don’t interfere in their affairs.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Is the Posuo Realm managed by the Dao Sect?”
The elder said, “Strictly speaking, it’s managed by the four major clans and our Dao Sect together.”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “Can’t the Dao Sect suppress the four clans?”
The elder gave an awkward smile, saying nothing.
Suppress the four clans?
The Dao Sect definitely couldn’t do that now.
But in the past, they could.
The elder hesitated, then asked, “Young Master, why are you going to the royal clan?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “The royal clan wants to kill me, so I’m going to have a chat with them.”
The elder was stunned, then hurriedly said, “Young Master, our Dao Master is familiar with the royal clan. I’ll inform the Dao Master and have him plead with them.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the elder, “Plead?”
The elder said, “Yes. It must be a misunderstanding. If we plead, the royal clan will surely give us face.”
Ye Xuan smiled, saying nothing more.
The elder said, “Young Master, I’ll go inform the Dao Master now.”
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “No need.”
The elder was stunned and wanted to say more, but Ye Xuan smiled, “Take us directly to the royal clan.”
The elder hesitated.
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.
The Dao Seal’s influence probably wasn’t that great. With the Master of the Great Dao Pen long absent from the Dao Sect, its members likely didn’t respect him as much as before.
What a headache.
The elder wanted to say something, but Qing’er suddenly said, “I know where it is.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, and she smiled, “Let’s go.”
With that, she led Ye Xuan and Nian Ya, vanishing to the horizon.
The elder hesitated, then turned and flew in another direction.
…
Royal Clan.
As Qing’er and the others entered the royal clan’s territory, a dozen powerful auras locked onto them.
At that moment, an elder appeared before them.
He stared at Ye Xuan, “How dare you trespass into our royal clan…”
Ye Xuan raised his hand and struck with a sword.
Rip!
With a flash of sword light, the elder was sent flying hundreds of thousands of feet, leaving a massive chasm hundreds of thousands of feet long in the royal clan’s space-time.
The royal clan was shocked.
At that moment, a beautiful woman appeared before the three.
Seeing her, Ye Xuan smiled, “We meet again so soon.”
The woman stared at Ye Xuan, “You’ve got some nerve, actually coming to our royal clan.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s settle the score.”
The woman glanced at Qing’er, “I suppose she’s your backing?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Actually, I’m pretty good at fighting too.”
The woman glanced at him, then chuckled, “I must say, I admire your courage for coming to our royal clan in person.”
She pointed at Qing’er, “I want you to see with your own eyes whether your backing can save you.”
She was about to act when a voice suddenly came from the sky, “Wait.”
The woman frowned and looked up. A middle-aged man stepped out.
It was Qiu Yuan, the current Dao Master of the Dao Sect.
Seeing him, the woman frowned, “Dao Master Qiu, what are you doing?”
Qiu Yuan smiled, “Clan Leader Xin, this person is from our Dao Sect. Could you give me some face and let this matter go?”
Dao Sect!
The woman was stunned, then looked at Ye Xuan and sneered, “No wonder you’re so bold. You’re from the Dao Sect.”
She turned to Qiu Yuan, “Dao Master Qiu, it’s not that I won’t give you face, but I can’t. This person killed someone from our royal clan and now openly provokes us. If I let him go today, people will think our royal clan fears him. Where would our face be then?”
Qiu Yuan’s expression grew troubled.
The woman continued, “Dao Master Qiu, there’s a Posuo crystal mine in the South Mountain. Our royal clan lacks people to manage it. Would the Dao Sect be willing to oversee it for ten years?”
Posuo crystal mine!
Qiu Yuan’s face lit up with a sly smile, “Of course.”
He hadn’t come to save anyone but to seize an opportunity for gain.
The woman turned to Ye Xuan, “The Dao Sect seems to have nothing to do with you now.”
Qiu Yuan nodded immediately, “No connection. I don’t know this person.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
The woman sneered, “Isn’t that laughable?”
At that moment, Qing’er in the white dress suddenly said, “Brother, I want to speak.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Go ahead.”
Qing’er looked at Ye Xuan and said seriously, “Can I kill their whole family?”
Ye Xuan, “…”
…
