"Kid, your girlfriend is at her weakest right now. If you touch her, it could severely damage her Primordial Qi and reduce her Cultivation by at least half."
Just at that moment, the voice of the Human Emperor’s Scepter suddenly transmitted over.
That statement, like a bucket of cold water, was poured over Ye Xuan’s head, instantly sobering him up.
Primordial Qi severely damaged? Cultivation reduced by at least half?
Such a heavy price, if it was just for a moment of pleasure, it obviously wasn’t worth it.
Moreover, he had almost forgotten that the Artifact Spirit of the old Human Emperor’s Scepter was peeking, which suddenly made his enthusiasm diminish greatly. Having a pair of eyes watching from behind while doing such a thing would undoubtedly be very unpleasant.
His eyes regained clarity, Ye Xuan took out a wide robe from the Qiankun Ring and draped it over Ling Qianxue’s body. Then he lifted her delicate frame—only now his eyes were devoid of any light.
Ye Xuan sighed softly.
"From now on, I won’t force you into anything. Let’s leave first."
Ye Xuan stroked Ling Qianxue’s hair and then carried her away from the shattered space.
At this moment, outside the great hall, Elder Gui and Master Wu Xuan hadn’t completely left yet. They were still waiting outside the hall, their gazes occasionally looking towards the interior.
"Those two youngsters have been inside for so long without coming out. Could it be that they’ve obtained the treasures deep within the hall?"
Elder Gui’s gaze flickered, he spoke.
Another powerhouse from the Three-eyed Ghost Clan nodded. "That Saint’s corpse dragged them in there; either they’re already dead, or if not, they’ve certainly obtained the treasures."
"Hopefully the latter, otherwise that treasure will rot inside."
Elder Gui pondered for a while, and then he looked towards Qingxu Palace, his expression suddenly turning grave, "Damn, why hasn’t that old man left? Is he also waiting for those kids to come out?"
"Most likely. I’m afraid they will hinder our actions," the powerhouse from the Three-eyed Ghost Clan said.
"Well, when that time comes, we’ll just have to rely on our own abilities. Don’t worry, that old fellow is definitely no saint. He surely has his eyes on that treasure and won’t be willing to help that kid."
Elder Gui’s gaze turned chilly, and he fell into deep thought, obviously considering strategies for the upcoming confrontation.
At the same time, Master Wu Xuan was seated on the ground, also seemingly deep in thought, likely pondering the same matter.
Just then, a sudden trembling came from within the great hall, breaking the silence. The wall at the top of the hall split open, and two figures emerged—it was Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue.
"They’re finally out."
Elder Gui, Master Wu Xuan, and the others’ eyes lit up, a fiery desire rising in their gaze.
"These guys sure are patient."
Upon seeing these two groups still guarding the entrance, Ye Xuan roughly guessed their intentions.
Not wanting to deal with them, Ye Xuan leapt towards the outside of the hall.
However, as soon as he moved, he was blocked by those two.
"What are you trying to do?"
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Kid, let’s not beat around the bush. The treasures in the depths of this hall must have been taken by you. Don’t think for a second we’re clueless about this relic’s treasures. The items here are at least of the level of the top ten extraordinary Ancient Saint Artifacts. You wanting to hog all of them to yourself—isn’t that a bit too greedy?" Elder Gui bared his teeth in a sinister smile.
"Treasures go to those destined to find them. Besides, we haven’t gotten any treasure. If you want treasures, you’re free to go in and search; what’s the point of asking me? Move aside quickly, or don’t blame me for being rude!" Ye Xuan retorted with a cold smile, his voice sharp as a threat.
"Do you really expect this Elder to believe you haven’t got any treasures?"
Elder Gui was clearly skeptical, and upon hearing Ye Xuan’s threatening tone, a mocking smile appeared on his face, "Thinking of fighting us? Do you really think I’m afraid? Moreover, do you think you, alone, can escape from so many of us?"
"Oh? So Master Wu Xuan also intends to act against us? Is it that Qingxu Palace intends to stoop so low that they would join forces with the Three-eyed Ghost Clan?" Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.
"That’s a bit harsh, Young Friend Ye Xuan. Qingxu Palace is the hegemon of the Central Domain, a representative of righteousness; we naturally wouldn’t stoop to collaborating with the Three-eyed Ghost Clan. But we all entered here in search of treasure, and now, after all our tireless efforts, it seems unjust for you alone to reap the rewards," Master Wu Xuan responded with a grin, yet a chill flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"So, what you’re saying is, you’re planning to make your move?"
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he positioned Ling Qianxue behind him, not too far away.
Ling Qianxue grasped Ye Xuan’s sleeve, clearly worried about facing such an enemy formation.
"No need to worry, just rest."
Ye Xuan patted her shoulder and then stepped out.
Drawing the Rain Saint Sword, Sword Qi immediately condensed around Ye Xuan. It spread out at an astonishing speed and, within just a dozen breaths, transformed into a Sword Array spanning nearly a thousand feet, enveloping the space around the hall.
As the Sword Array circulated, a light screen enveloped them, directly covering Elder Gui and Master Wu Xuan within it. fr.eew eb novel..com
"Do you really think you can fight against the two of us alone?" Elder Gui looked up at the spreading vast Array in the sky, his smile growing more mocking as he cocked his head and stared at Ye Xuan, his gaze like one might give a fool.
He simply couldn’t comprehend where Ye Xuan got the courage to challenge the two of them on his own.
