Ye Xuan’s face looked very ugly, extremely ugly.
Damn it.
Is my reputation really that great?
At this moment, the old man sized up Ye Xuan. “So you are the legendary backing king… pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man and said nothing.
The old man hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, is that heroine your sister?”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
The old man blinked. “Young Master Ye, backing king?”
Ye Xuan suddenly looked at the old man. “Do you think you are very humorous?”
The old man smiled awkwardly. “Young Master Ye, I mean no harm. I am just curious about you. They all say a backing king has come to the lower realm. He is not to be provoked, and his sister is that plain-dress woman.”
Ye Xuan said indifferently, “Does everyone in the Xuzhen World know about me?”
The old man nodded. “They do. Because your sister killed many, many people up there.”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Actually, you all misunderstand me. I generally do not call for help easily.”
The old man turned to look at Ye Qingqing, who was slaughtering wildly, and fell silent.
You generally do not call for help. When you do, it is inhuman.
At this moment, Ye Qingqing in the distance suddenly slashed and killed the last divine spirit. After absorbing its soul, she carried the Qingxuan Sword and walked to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Hard work.”
The old man: “…”
Ye Qingqing looked at the old man. “Where else are divine spirits sealed?”
The old man hurriedly said, “I will take you there.”
Ye Qingqing nodded. “Let’s go.”
Under the old man’s lead, the two flew towards the end of the starry sky.
On the way, Ye Xuan glanced at the Qingxuan Sword and said softly, “Girl, this sword seems to have improved.”
Ye Qingqing looked at the Qingxuan Sword and nodded. “It has improved.”
With that, she handed the Qingxuan Sword to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan gripped it. The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently. A sword cry soared into the sky. At the same time, a streak of black blood suddenly appeared on the sword body.
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. “This is?”
Ye Qingqing said, “The souls of those divine spirits.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Have they not been absorbed?”
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “They have been absorbed. However, they cannot be destroyed.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted sharply. “You mean even the Qingxuan Sword cannot destroy them?”
Ye Qingqing nodded. She looked at the Qingxuan Sword. “These divine spirits’ souls are special. The Qingxuan Sword cannot destroy them, but it can suppress them permanently inside.”
She paused, then added, “Actually, this sword can kill too.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Ye Qingqing said, “It has not been fully unsealed.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Not fully unsealed?”
Ye Qingqing nodded. “This sword has not yet shown its ultimate form. If its ultimate form is activated, it can truly break all laws and rules.”
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword and said softly, “Little Soul, you must work hard.”
Little Soul: “???”
Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan. “It is you who must work hard. Its improvement is related to you. Asking a sword to work hard, you are really bad.”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily.
Ye Qingqing added, “However, these divine spirits are indeed special.”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “How so?”
Ye Qingqing said softly, “Their souls contain a mysterious law. It is this law that makes their souls nearly indestructible.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Qing’er, do you know where these divine spirits come from?”
Ye Qingqing shook her head. “I do not know.”
Ye Xuan looked at the old man nearby. “Old man, do you know?”
Old man.
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “We do not know either. We only know that one day they suddenly invaded our Xuzhen World and started killing indiscriminately. In the end, the Avenue Brush Master and the Xuzhen Divine Palace joined forces to fight them.”
Avenue Brush Master.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “The Avenue Brush Master helped you fight these divine spirits?”
The old man nodded. “Yes. Back then, the Dao Sect and Xuzhen Divine Palace allied and finally suppressed these divine spirits. However, they cannot be killed, which is very troublesome.”
Avenue Brush Master.
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Damn it.
This guy is everywhere.
The old man added, “Although I do not know where these divine spirits come from, I think the big shots in the inner hall of Xuzhen Divine Palace definitely know.”
He glanced at Ye Xuan. “You can ask them later.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Old man, one more question…”
The old man suddenly said, “My name is Li Mu.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright, old man.”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan and said nothing.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Last question. Many divine spirits here have broken their seals now, and Xuzhen Divine Palace is in internal chaos. Will they not come down to manage it?”
The old man shook his head. “I do not know. I have reported to the higher-ups many times, but there has been no response. Sigh, if this continues, I will slip away. Expecting me to risk my life for a dead salary is definitely impossible.”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man, then said, “If all the divine spirit clan break their seals, will the Xuzhen World not be in danger?”
The old man smiled. “The people above do not care. What use is my caring? If the Xuzhen World is really breached, I will just escape.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said no more.
Soon, the old man led Ye Xuan and the other to a black city. The entire city was covered with strange black runes.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. He looked at the old man. “This is?”
The old man said gravely, “This place seals a blood-eyed divine spirit.”
Blood-eyed divine spirit.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard the tavern old man say that the blood-eyed divine spirit’s level was above the purple-eyed one.
The old man looked at the black city. “Not long ago, the seal here began to loosen. The city guards could not hold it, so they ran.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “Ran?”
The old man nodded. “If they do not run, once that blood-eyed divine spirit breaks the seal, they are done for.”
He paused, then added, “Actually, many people here are starting to run. Because everyone can feel that the Xuzhen World does not want to manage things here now. Our strength is decent, but we came here to earn some Xuzhen crystals. If they do not care, we will definitely slip away. With our strength, we cannot contend with these fellows. Mainly, they cannot be killed.”
Ye Xuan said softly, “So, the Xuzhen World will fall soon.”
The old man sighed softly and said no more.
The Xuzhen World is already chaotic internally, and many are colluding with these divine spirits. If this continues, the Xuzhen World is definitely done for.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Damn it.
I should return to the Guanxuan Universe.
Otherwise, I might have to clean up this mess myself.
Avenue Brush Master.
Could this be the Avenue Brush Master scheming again?
Ye Xuan frowned.
Damn it.
This guy is the best at causing trouble.
At this moment, a terrifying powerful aura suddenly erupted from the city.
Boom!
In an instant, all the seals on the black city turned to ashes.
……
