Ye Xuan took stock. There were over 120 million Posuo crystals, not to mention countless divine artifacts and techniques!
A massive haul!
Ye Xuan tearfully collected them all!
At that moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from nearby!
Ye Xuan turned to look. From behind a pillar in the hall, a woman emerged!
She was about twenty years old, wearing a jet-black dress and holding a staff in her hand.
Ye Xuan blinked, then looked at Qing’er in the white dress. Qing’er hesitated, then said, “Should we silence her?”
In the distance, the woman immediately stopped, warily eyeing Qing’er in the white dress.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, then looked at the woman, “And you are, miss?”
The woman glanced at Ye Xuan and said, “Zhao Xuanxuan!”
Zhao Xuanxuan!
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Don’t know you.”
Zhao Xuanxuan looked at Ye Xuan, “This ancient city was once called Zhao Capital, my kingdom!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
This was bad!
The rightful owner had arrived!
Qing’er asked again, “Should we silence her? Brother, don’t worry, if you can’t bear it, I’ll do it. I’m not afraid of the consequences!”
Before Ye Xuan could speak, Zhao Xuanxuan hurriedly said, “I don’t want those treasures! Really, I don’t!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Zhao Xuanxuan looked at Qing’er, “I don’t want the treasures, but can you help me with something?”
Qing’er looked at Ye Xuan, who smiled, “What is it?”
Zhao Xuanxuan opened her palm, and a wisp of black gas suddenly surged from her body, swirling around her like mist.
Seeing this black gas, Ye Xuan’s expression instantly turned grave!
He actually felt danger from this black gas!
Zhao Xuanxuan looked at Qing’er, “This is an ancient divine curse, lingering in my body for years, corroding my life force and cultivation. Can you break it?”
Qing’er glanced at the gas and said, “I’ve seen this before. During your great war with your enemies, they used this mysterious technique!”
Zhao Xuanxuan nodded, “Yes!”
Qing’er looked at Ye Xuan, “Should we help?”
Ye Xuan looked at Zhao Xuanxuan, who bowed slightly, “Please!”
Ye Xuan turned to Qing’er, “Is it a simple task?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then let’s help her.”
After all, they had taken her things!
Qing’er nodded and looked at Zhao Xuanxuan. At that moment, the black gas suddenly transformed into a human face, glaring at Qing’er, “How dare you!”
“Hm?”
Qing’er raised an eyebrow, “How dare I?”
The black gas glared at Qing’er, “I am formed from the grudge of an ancient god. How dare you harm me?”
Qing’er said seriously, “I dare!”
With that, she waved her sleeve, and the Rebirth Sword shot out, pinning the black gas before it could react!
“Ah!”
The black gas let out a shrill roar, then began to dissipate slowly!
The black gas roared hysterically, “You dare harm me!”
Qing’er said seriously, “I really do dare!”
The black gas roared, “How can you dare!”
Qing’er said calmly, “I just do!”
The black gas, “…”
And so, the black gas dissipated bit by bit!
Just as it was about to vanish completely, it suddenly roared, “I curse you! I curse you! I curse you with my life’s fate!”
Boom!
Suddenly, the sky darkened with clouds, and countless blood-red lines of fate and causality appeared, forming a giant net!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned!
At that moment, the blood-red lines of fate and causality surged towards Qing’er below!
Qing’er remained calm, not acting!
As the lines approached her, they seemed to encounter something terrifying and retreated rapidly!
Seeing this, the black gas froze, “This…”
Qing’er smiled, “I am untouched by all causality! Hehe!”
The black gas roared, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I am formed from the grudge of an ancient god, not ordinary fate and causality. You…”
Qing’er smiled, “Want to try again?”
The black gas, “…”
Soon, the black gas vanished, still in disbelief!
But the lines of fate and causality in the sky didn’t disappear!
Qing’er glanced at them, then waved her sleeve. Instantly, all the lines vanished completely!
Qing’er shook her head, “Why am I so strong?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Zhao Xuanxuan glanced at Qing’er and said, “Why not kill that ancient god?”
Qing’er was puzzled, “Why?”
Zhao Xuanxuan said seriously, “If you don’t kill him, he might seek revenge! You’re not afraid, but this young master beside you…”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Miss, I’m actually quite strong too!”
Zhao Xuanxuan glanced at Ye Xuan, “Oh!”
Ye Xuan frowned. What’s with that tone?
Damn it!
Do I not look like a master?
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “You have a point!”
She slowly closed her eyes!
Ye Xuan tugged at Qing’er’s sleeve, “Do you know where that ancient god is?”
Qing’er smiled faintly, “I don’t know! But I have a way to find him!”
With that, she opened her palm, and the Rebirth Sword shot into the sky, piercing the heavens!
Boom!
A massive white sword energy vortex appeared in the depths of the starry sky!
Ye Xuan looked at the vortex, puzzled. What was Qing’er doing?
At that moment, Qing’er suddenly said, “Open!”
She lightly sliced with her fingers.
Rip!
The sword energy vortex split open, and the next moment, a shadowy figure appeared deep within!
It was a middle-aged man in a black robe!
The man looked up slowly, his eyes narrowing, filled with disbelief, “Who are you!”
Qing’er looked at him, “You’re that ancient god?”
The man stared at Qing’er, “And you are?”
Qing’er said, “To prevent you from seeking revenge on my brother, I have to kill you first. Sorry!”
With that, she waved her sleeve, and the Rebirth Sword shot into the vortex!
Seeing the Rebirth Sword, the ancient god’s pupils shrank, “Wait! Miss, wait! I don’t even know your brother!”
Qing’er thought for a moment, then said, “I destroyed a wisp of your grudge, and it cursed me. You’re no match for me, but I’m worried you’ll target my brother…”
“No way!”
The ancient god hurriedly said, “Miss, I won’t seek revenge! It’s a small matter. I wouldn’t retaliate! Really! I can swear!”
Qing’er frowned slightly, “I still don’t feel safe. Maybe I should just kill you!”
The ancient god’s face changed drastically. He raised his right hand, “Miss, I swear on my soul, I won’t seek revenge… Miss, it’s really a very small matter. How could I retaliate over something so trivial? Right?”
Qing’er turned to Ye Xuan, who smiled, “Let it go.”
Qing’er nodded slightly, glanced at the ancient god, and said, “This is my brother. Get to know him. If you meet him in the future, don’t bully him, understand?”
The ancient god nodded hurriedly, “Yes, yes!”
Qing’er nodded, waved her hand, and the space-time returned to normal.
Seeing this, the ancient god breathed a sigh of relief!
He was still shaken!
That sword had made him feel the breath of death!
When the other party found him without warning, he knew he was no match!
And he hadn’t expected the cause to be a mere wisp of his cursed grudge!
Thinking of this, the ancient god’s face grew extremely grim!
What a disaster!
Soon, he calmed down!
Because he noticed another person!
The woman in the black dress!
A descendant of that empire!
At this thought, the ancient god’s face darkened. Clearly, that war back then hadn’t completely eradicated them!
The ancient god grew worried!
Because he noticed the woman in the black dress seemed to know the sword-wielding woman.
After a moment, the ancient god shook his head and turned to leave!
That matter was long past!
No need to keep it in mind. Even if they sought revenge, it wouldn’t come back to him!
…
In the ruined ancient city, Ye Xuan looked at the woman in the black dress and smiled, “Miss, we’re even now, right?”
The woman in the black dress nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then we’ll take our leave!”
With that, he was about to leave with Qing’er!
At that moment, the woman in the black dress suddenly said, “Young Master, wait!”
Ye Xuan turned to her. She said, “I know of a place with a Posuo crystal mine, with at least a hundred million crystals, and it’s unclaimed. Are you interested?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Unclaimed?”
The woman in the black dress nodded, “Yes! It’s not far from here!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s go!”
The woman in the black dress nodded, “Follow me!”
Ye Xuan and Qing’er followed her into the distance!
Soon, the three arrived at a mountain range. The woman in the black dress said, “This is the Wild Demon Mountain Range. The once-powerful True Demon Clan lived here, but now they’ve left!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “True Demon Clan?”
The woman in the black dress glanced at him, “You haven’t heard of them?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “No!”
The woman in the black dress nodded slightly, then explained, “They were once an extremely powerful demon clan, so strong that even the ancient god clan was wary of them! But later, they migrated to another universe, and in their haste, they left some things behind! We often come here to treasure hunt, but we don’t dare go too deep, as powerful auras still linger there!”
She glanced at Qing’er in the white dress.
Qing’er smiled faintly, “I’m not afraid!”
She looked at Ye Xuan and smiled, “Brother, you can roam freely! I’ve got you!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
…
