"Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. I’m just good friends with Fei Xuelin, and she likes to joke around. Don’t take it to heart, okay? It’s getting late, you should head to bed. Staying up late is really bad for a woman’s skin."
Xiao Yifeng said with a chuckle.
"Xiao Yifeng, I hope you don’t think I’m a fool, and I’m not interested in whatever relationship you have with Fei Xuelin."
Ye Yaxin huffed coldly and went straight upstairs.
"Not interested, yet you look so angry."
Muttering to himself, Xiao Yifeng returned to his room and began to practice the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art. The stars in the sky started to shine brightly.
Streams of Star Energy flowed into Xiao Yifeng’s body, refining it and transforming into Starforce.
"Damn bastard, how much are you hiding from me!"
After Ye Yaxin went upstairs, she kept muttering to herself, her thoughts about Xiao Yifeng taking on an unusual nature.
Before, Xiao Yifeng appeared to Ye Yaxin as nothing but an incompetent guy, but the more she interacted with him recently, the more unfathomable he became.
Now even the lofty and exalted Fei Xuelin, akin to an imperial princess, seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with him, making Ye Yaxin realize she didn’t understand her fiance at all.
Moreover, Fei Xuelin’s appearance tonight stirred a sour feeling in her heart, leaving her somewhat agitated and restless.
Under the cover of night, Tianhai University lay in utter silence, all the students and teachers were asleep. At this time, two ghostly shadows appeared on the premises.
They were two figures cloaked in black robes, concealing their entire bodies, exuding an aura that sent chills down one’s spine.
"We greet the two protectors!"
Hidden agents, Ghost Eight and Ghost Nine, emerged at Tianhai University, and respectfully kneeled on the ground upon seeing the two robed figures.
"Where is it?" the two robed figures asked hoarsely.
"Protectors, please !"
Ghost Eight and Ghost Nine led the two figures to a derelict building.
The two robed figures stared at the building and walked over. As they approached, they sensed a thick Evil Qi.
"Such rich Ghost Evil Qi, it seems the Netherworld Ghost Blade is indeed sealed here!"
The expressions under the black robes of the two figures shook, and they rushed into the building, heading directly to a room in the basement.
In this room, the Evil Qi was even more intense, a black fog filled the entire space that would make any ordinary person lose their wits instantly if they were there. However, this Evil Qi had no effect on the two robed figures.
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously performing a hand seal, and a black sigil appeared in the void before slamming into the ground.
Suddenly, a hexagonal golden pattern emerged on the ground, and upon being struck by the black sigil, it burst with dazzling light, repelling the two robed figures.
"It seems the seal on the upper layer doesn’t have much power left. Let’s break it together."
The two spoke gravely, a strong Ghost Evil Qi surged around them. Performing various hand seals, streams of black energy flowed out, eventually forming a black longsword.
Then, biting their tongues, they each spat out a streak of Essence Blood onto the black longsword, which emitted a brilliant black glow and fiercely struck down on the hexagonal pattern on the ground.
Terrifying energy surged, shattering the entire room, and the hexagonal pattern on the ground became dim under the bombardment of the black longsword.
The two black-robed figures continuously channeled their power, streams of sinister Ghost Evil Qi poured into the black longsword, unleashing fearsome power that assaulted the hexagonal pattern.
Finally, with a loud bang, the entire hexagonal pattern exploded, revealing an inky-black passage as both figures were once again forced to retreat.
Waves of dense Evil Qi crazily emerged from the passage.
At the same time, a golden light suddenly flared up outside the building, and along with it, the Evil Qi went on a frenzy, spewing from within the building, rapidly spreading across the entirety of Tianhai University.
By this time, the two black-robed figures had already entered the passage, delving hundreds of meters underground until they saw an underground cavern take form before their eyes.
In this cavern, a black long saber with complex and mysterious patterns and a ferocious ghost head as its hilt floated before them.
The entire saber radiated a terrifying energy, the cavern filled with the haunting presence of wailing ghastly spirits, yet currently, the saber was enveloped by a golden ring of light, as if sealed within it.
"The Netherworld Ghost Blade, it’s truly the Netherworld Ghost Blade!"
Seeing the saber, the two black-robed figures became incredibly excited, their eyes filled with reverence as they gazed at the black long saber.
They once again summoned their power and hammered it against the golden ring of light, attempting to break it, only for their power to hardly impact the barrier.
A wave of golden light rippled out, blasting the two figures away and making them spit out blood.
"Such a formidable seal, I didn’t expect that after such a long time it would still possess such strong power," said one of the black-robed figures in shock.
"It seems we must ask a Sect Elder to break this seal," the other figure spoke up.
"Now that the external seal has been broken, the Evil Qi will surely be released. It will definitely draw their attention. We need to speed things up and have the Elder come to break the seal. Otherwise, it’ll be too late once those people arrive."
With that said, the two stood up, took one last glance at the black long saber, and departed the way they came, making their way back outside the building.
"How is the situation, protectors?"
At this moment, Ghost Eight and Ghost Nine walked up, looking at the two black-robed figures.
"You two stay hidden here. We need to invite several Elders to break the seal and retrieve the Netherworld Ghost Blade."
After saying this, the two disappeared like phantoms from in front of their eyes, while within the building, the Evil Qi continued to pour out, enveloping the entire Tianhai University.
The next day, sunlight bathed the room, and Xiao Yifeng awoke from a night of cultivation, stretching his body languidly.
Immediately, a symphony of joints popping sounded, and his muscles gleamed with a golden metallic luster, exuding an aura of strength and dominance.
"Dominant Body—Tyrant’s Extreme Domination, traverse the universe!"
Xiao Yifeng murmured to himself and left the room.
"This is bad, brother-in-law, something’s happened at the school!"
Suddenly, Ye Yashi ran down from upstairs, looking anxiously at Xiao Yifeng as she spoke.
