Ye Xuan!
The black-robed woman nodded slightly, then turned and vanished.
Zhao Xuanxuan, left behind, let out a sigh of relief, “Young Master Ye, it’s not that I’m disloyal, but I’m truly no match for her!”
She knew well that if she hadn’t spoken, she might have died on the spot!
She also understood that the feud between Ye Xuan and the True Demon Clan was beyond her involvement, so she decisively revealed Ye Xuan’s origins. In such moments, self-preservation was the wisest choice.
…
Guanxuan Universe.
Ye Xuan returned directly to the Guanxuan Universe, where the influence of Guanxuan Academy now spanned the entire universe!
Because of this, his cultivation grew stronger every day!
The power of faith!
More and more faith power!
He no longer focused on cultivating realms!
There were simply too many realms, too varied!
This was understandable, given the vast number of universes and civilizations, each with different realm divisions, leading to varied classifications!
Fortunately, the Guanxuan Universe had been standardising these realms, and the system under its control was becoming increasingly structured!
In the main hall.
Li Banzhi was reporting the recent activities of Guanxuan Academy to Ye Xuan!
After a moment, Li Banzhi looked up at Ye Xuan, smiling, “We currently face two major issues. First, we’ve expanded too quickly. The universes we originally controlled are fine, we can manage them, but in the newly acquired ones, we’re severely short-staffed. As a result, some academies have started to deviate. But don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to handle it!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “This is a problem, you need to handle it carefully!”
Li Banzhi nodded, “I understand!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What’s the second issue?”
Li Banzhi said, “The second issue is that our martial arts need improvement!”
Ye Xuan frowned.
Li Banzhi said gravely, “When Miss Qingqiu was here, our academy’s martial arts kept pace with the times. But since she left, our martial arts have stagnated. We need better cultivation methods. Also, as you mentioned, the ancient gods and the True Demon Clan likely have martial civilizations superior to ours! Without Miss Qingqiu, our academy is like a three-year-old holding gold in front of certain superpowers!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I understand!”
With Qingqiu around, the academy had no worries!
But now that Qingqiu was gone, the strongest in Guanxuan Academy were Ye Xuan and the Guanxuan Guards!
If even he couldn’t win, the academy would be helpless!
Li Banzhi continued, “Can you contact Miss Qingqiu?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Since Qingqiu and the others left, he could no longer reach them!
Li Banzhi fell silent, her expression quite grave.
Despite Guanxuan Academy’s current strength, it all hinged on Ye Xuan. Without him, the vast academy would descend into chaos!
Too many factions, too complex!
Moreover, the academy now controlled immense power and wealth, making it a target for some superpowers in the boundless universe!
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “Don’t worry too much. As long as I’m here, the academy will be fine!”
Li Banzhi nodded, “I know!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “How are my friends doing?”
Li Banzhi smiled, “I’ve arranged for them to join the Central Core. Once they’re fully familiar with the academy’s affairs, they can enter the inner cabinet!”
She knew those were the people Ye Xuan truly trusted, so she had been paving the way for Mo Yunqi and the others to get accustomed to the academy.
Ye Xuan shook his head, “They can’t enter the inner cabinet yet!”
Everyone knew they were his people. If Mo Yunqi and the others entered the inner cabinet so soon, it would be too blatant a backdoor!
Many would surely object!
After all, countless people vied for a spot in the inner cabinet!
Moreover, Mo Yunqi and the others’ strength wasn’t up to par. If they were given power now, others below would follow suit, cultivating their own cliques, and the academy would soon be riddled with factions.
They needed to be held back for now!
Li Banzhi was about to speak when Ye Xuan suddenly looked towards the hall’s entrance. Li Banzhi turned, and there stood a black-robed woman, unnoticed until now!
Seeing her, Li Banzhi’s expression changed drastically!
At that moment, over a hundred Guanxuan Guards appeared in the hall, their auras locking onto the black-robed woman!
Ye Xuan waved his hand, and the guards quietly withdrew!
The black-robed woman walked slowly towards Ye Xuan!
Inside the small tower, the True Demon’s voice trembled, “It’s her… the royal bloodline! She’s of the True Demon Clan’s royal bloodline… I’m doomed!”
The small tower scoffed, “Look at you, so cowardly!”
The True Demon snapped, “Do you know what the royal bloodline means? It’s the most powerful beast in the True Demon Clan!”
The small tower said calmly, “No matter the bloodline, it kneels before my master!”
The True Demon said gravely, “Little Tower, you need to see the outside world!”
The small tower replied, “Are you saying I’m narrow-minded?”
The True Demon said coolly, “You said it!”
The small tower sneered, “Do you know who the ceiling of beasts is? That’s my brother! Beasts like your True Demon Clan are mere ants among ants before her!”
The True Demon was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve noticed, you and your master love to brag!”
The small tower: “…”
…
In the hall.
Ye Xuan looked at the approaching black-robed woman, feeling an invisible pressure.
Like a million mountains bearing down!
At that moment, the black-robed woman stopped, “You should know who I am!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The True Demon Clan!”
The black-robed woman stared at Ye Xuan, “You’re very confident, as if you have something to rely on!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Another place?”
The black-robed woman said, “Fine!”
With that, both vanished from the hall!
Inside, Li Banzhi shook her head and left!
She wasn’t worried!
She knew this man could not die, a man with more backers than could be imagined!
…
In a void, Ye Xuan and the black-robed woman faced each other from a distance.
The black-robed woman stood with her right hand behind her back, looking at Ye Xuan, “Make your move!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, reaching forward with his right hand. In an instant, the surrounding endless starry universe was folded into a line!
No hesitation, straight to action!
Both knew talking was pointless for now!
Talks required mutual recognition of strength!
Seeing Ye Xuan fold the surrounding space-time into a line, the black-robed woman’s eyes narrowed, “Beyond space-time!”
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his left hand, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. Without a word, he slashed down!
Rip!
A sword light shot towards the black-robed woman.
Her right hand, hidden behind her, clenched suddenly. She stepped forward and punched!
Boom!
Her punch created a ten-thousand-zhang vortex in a mysterious space-time!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, as this vortex wasn’t in the current space-time but within beyond space-time!
Her power could shake beyond space-time!
Boom!
The punch collided with the sword light, and a terrifying force spread outwards. Ye Xuan was pushed back tens of thousands of zhang by the shockwave, while the black-robed woman didn’t budge, her body glowing with eerie red light that blocked all the force’s impact!
She waved her hand lightly, and the surrounding shockwaves vanished!
The black-robed woman looked at Ye Xuan, “I’m a True Demon. Your sword is special, but unless it touches my body directly, it can’t harm me!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He had noticed!
Sword aura and light alone couldn’t hurt her!
And getting close enough to strike her body… she clearly wouldn’t give him that chance!
The black-robed woman added, “You surprised me. You can enter beyond space-time and fold existing space-time, an ability I’ve never seen! I must say, you’re mysterious!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Your strength surprises me too!”
The black-robed woman stared at Ye Xuan, “You made a True Demon of my clan submit to you, an insult to us. Insults must be washed away with blood. So, human, are you ready to die?”
As her voice fell, her right hand clenched tightly.
Boom!
In an instant, the surrounding beyond space-time twisted, a terrifying force spreading like a storm, its immense pressure overwhelming Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and within him, the Mad Demon Bloodline boiled!
Facing this terrifying True Demon woman, he dared not hold back, or he’d risk being beaten badly, which would be too humiliating!
As his Mad Demon Bloodline activated, a terrifying aura surged from him!
Bloodline power!
After a long time, he unleashed his Mad Demon Bloodline again!
Feeling it, the black-robed woman frowned, “What a unique bloodline power!”
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his left palm, and countless streams of faith power poured from him, merging into the Qingxuan Sword!
Mad Demon Bloodline plus faith power!
Seeing this, a glint of excitement appeared in the black-robed woman’s eyes, “It seems I underestimated you! Interesting!”
With that, her right hand clenched slowly, and the beyond space-time trembled violently!
Her immense physical strength was almost too much for this space-time to bear!
Seeing this, a ferocious grin spread across Ye Xuan’s face. He too wanted a thrilling fight!
He’d been holding back too long!
It was practically causing internal injuries!
He needed to release it!
To release it fully!
