Cosmic exploration team.
Ye Xuan naturally had not forgotten. This was a small unit dispatched by Qin Guan, tasked with exploring the universe.
This small unit’s role was very significant. Exploring unknown universes could bring huge benefits to Guanxuan Academy and Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion had been providing financial support to this small unit all along.
With Qin Guan absent now, this small unit naturally fell under his management.
He had not expected this team to run into trouble.
Ye Xuan said gravely. “Where are they now.”
Dark You said gravely. “In a mysterious star domain not far from the edge universe. They lost contact upon entering that mysterious star domain. Not long after, they sent word again, saying they were kidnapped by a mysterious race. I sent people to investigate, but no news. So, had to come to you, Young Master Ye.”
Kidnapped.
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said. “Let us go.”
With that, he looked at Little Jing. “The academy is yours to manage.”
Little Jing hesitated, then nodded. “Good.”
Ye Xuan directly took Dark You and disappeared into the starry sky depths.
Little Jing looked towards the starry sky depths, brows furrowed deeply. “Kidnapping… I have not kidnapped in a long time.”
…
In no time, Ye Xuan and Dark You arrived in that mysterious star domain. Just entering, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. In this star domain, he saw countless black vortices. These black vortices possessed extremely terrifying suction, even nearly pulling him in the instant he entered.
Dark You said gravely. “Our people cannot enter here at all, thus, could only report to you, Young Master Ye.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. He glanced around, then directly raised his hand and slashed with a sword.
Sizzle.
A swath of blood-red sword light broke through the sky. In the distance, a black vortex trembled violently. The next moment, Ye Xuan’s blood-red sword light was directly sucked in, then vanished completely.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan was stunned.
Even his sword light was absorbed.
Curiosity flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. At this moment, an old man in a hemp-coloured long robe appeared before Ye Xuan and Dark You. The old man’s robe was very large, like a skirt, holding a long skeleton staff, head adorned with strange bone ornaments.
After appearing, the old man’s gaze locked on Ye Xuan, then he spoke a string of gibberish. Ye Xuan did not understand a word.
Ye Xuan turned to Dark You. Dark You smiled awkwardly. “I do not understand either.”
Ye Xuan looked at the old man. He opened his right palm, intending to forcibly extract the other’s memories. But as he raised his right hand, the old man suddenly flew into rage. He pointed his staff directly at Ye Xuan.
Boom.
A ten-thousand-zhang lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly. The next moment, he opened his palm. The Qingxuan Sword soared into the sky.
Sizzle.
That ten-thousand-zhang lightning bolt split in two upon touching the Qingxuan Sword. The powerful force instantly shattered the remaining lightning into countless thunder points falling like rain.
In the distance, the old man suddenly spoke gibberish again.
Ye Xuan said gravely. “I do not understand. Truly do not understand.”
The old man grew more agitated, waving his staff while speaking.
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed, somewhat headache. At this moment, Dark You beside suddenly said. “Is he calling for people.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face sank at once.
Because he sensed mysterious auras suddenly appearing around.
Indeed calling for people.
Sensing this, Ye Xuan’s gaze gradually turned icy. The old man was still saying something. At this moment, Ye Xuan struck with his sword.
Sizzle.
A wisp of sword light flashed through the field.
In the distance, the old man’s pupils contracted sharply. He pointed his staff forward. Countless lightning poured from his staff.
Boom.
With a heaven-shaking explosive sound, a swath of sword light and thunder light erupted fiercely. The next moment, a sword was already at the old man’s throat.
“Wait.”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside.
Ye Xuan turned. Not far away, a woman walked slowly over. The woman’s attire was similar to the old man’s, head adorned with exquisite bone ornaments.
The woman hurried to Ye Xuan’s front. “Your people are in our hands.”
Spoken in human language.
Ye Xuan looked at the woman. “Demanding twenty billion.”
The woman met Ye Xuan’s gaze. “Yes.”
Ye Xuan thought, then said. “I want to see my people.”
The woman nodded. “Fine.”
With that, she turned. Not far away, a cage appeared, holding dozens of people, precisely the cosmic exploration team.
Ye Xuan looked at the leading woman, the team’s captain and overall head.
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Did you do anything excessive here.”
The woman shook her head. “No. We did nothing upon arrival, just surveyed. Unexpectedly entered their territory. But upon discovering they did not welcome us, we prepared to leave, yet they would not let us, even detained our ship. Seeing our ship luxurious, they harboured evil intent.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I understand.”
Beside, the woman suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, about to speak. Ye Xuan suddenly pointed two fingers.
Sizzle.
The sword directly pierced the old man’s throat. A stream of blood spurted out.
Seeing this, the woman’s expression changed drastically, furious. “Human, you…”
Ye Xuan’s right hand thrust forward fiercely, then gripped. Spacetime was instantly folded by him. Then, he raised his hand and slashed with a sword. In an instant, dozens of powerhouses hiding around were directly shattered by this sword.
The leading woman looked at Ye Xuan in horror, face pale. At this moment, she seemed to discover something.
Ye Xuan looked up at the woman. “I have twenty billion. Do you want it.”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “Human, we are Bi Clan people, believers in Arnan God, his subjects. Kill us, Arnan God will not spare you.”
Arnan God.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, smiled. “Did Arnan God teach you extortion.”
The woman’s face was rather ugly. “Human, we did not know you were so strong. This… this is a misunderstanding. Can we settle it like this.”
Ye Xuan was expressionless. “What do you think.”
The woman hesitated, then said. “Do you know Arnan God.”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No.”
The woman quickly said. “Very strong.”
Ye Xuan stared at the woman. “I am not afraid.”
The woman was slightly stunned, then quickly said. “Arnan God… a powerful god flying from the Heavenly Division.”
Ye Xuan said calmly. “Do you know why you are still alive now.”
Hearing this, the woman became extremely vigilant at once. “You… what do you want.”
With that, she hurriedly covered her chest.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened at once. This was somewhat insulting.
This woman was not ugly, but far from pretty, and this action was truly insulting.
What did she take him for.
Was he that kind of person.
Ye Xuan waved his hand, then said. “Have your clan leader talk to me.”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “You killed him.”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then said. “That old man just now.”
The woman nodded.
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said. “Then from now on, you are the Bi Clan’s clan leader.”
The woman blinked. “Really.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Really. But I am curious, if you become clan leader, what will you do.”
The woman hesitated, then said. “Listen to you.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Then can you release the people now.”
The woman quickly released them.
Ye Xuan glanced at the woman. “Later I will send people to establish an academy here. You must cooperate with them. Understand.”
The woman hesitated, then said. “Can we get some benefits.”
With that, she glanced around. “We are very poor here.”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked. “What are those black vortices outside just now.”
The woman said. “Teleportation arrays.”
Teleportation arrays.
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. “Can teleport to where.”
The woman said. “Can teleport to Heavenly Division Realm. It is a higher civilisation universe world, with many, many powerful people.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Then why do not you go.”
The woman shook her head. “Our strength too weak, cannot survive there.”
Heavenly Division Realm.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Understood.”
The woman hesitated, then said. “Can we get some money.”
Ye Xuan looked at the woman. He opened his palm. A storage ring slowly floated before her.
The woman quickly took the storage ring, then said. “From now on, we believe in you.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Damn.
This was faith for money.
Ye Xuan smiled and asked. “What is your name.”
The woman said. “A Ying.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “When I establish the academy here, you can let your clansmen join to learn human cultivation methods. This can help elevate your Bi Clan. The academy has many rules. You must ensure your clansmen obey, do not violate academy laws. Understand.”
A Ying nodded quickly. “I understand.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Good that you understand.”
With that, he looked at the cosmic exploration team’s captain beside. “Where is your next destination.”
The captain said gravely. “No destination, just keep advancing.”
With that, she took out a thick ancient book. “Everywhere we go, we record what we see and hear in this book.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the thick ancient book, then said. “Later have the academy make multiple copies, sell across the universe. Proceeds, you all split half, the other half to Immortal Treasure Pavilion. How does that sound.”
Hearing this, the captain and others were overjoyed at once.
This was exactly what they wanted.
The leading captain hesitated, then said. “The authorship…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Of course yours.”
The captain was ecstatic at once. “Thank you, Dean.”
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said. “Do not mind adding one more person.”
The captain’s expression froze.
