Chapter 1237: Chapter 1238: Ye Qingcheng in Peril
However, in the next moment, Xiao Tianyu’s gaze shifted away from her, which made Qian Yue realize that at this moment, Xiao Tianyu didn’t bother to kill her. After all, he had just spared even the Seven Emperors; why would he care about an ant like her?
"Let’s go!" Xiao Tianyu took Xiao Ziyan’s right hand again. Xiao Ziyan’s beautiful eyes flickered, as if she didn’t recognize the person in front of her, yet he was so familiar. Finally, Xiao Ziyan asked foolishly, "Are you my brother?"
Xiao Ziyan really couldn’t understand how her brother Xiao Tianyu could be so powerful, standing above the Nine Emperors.
"Fool!" Xiao Tianyu pinched Xiao Ziyan’s nose, and Xiao Ziyan pouted, "Brother, you’re bullying me again, humph... I won’t talk to you anymore!"
"Really not going to talk to me?"
"Really, haha, stop tickling... Hey, hey, second brother, you’re cheating!" Xiao Ziyan’s happy laughter drew countless envious glances. They all wished they could have such a strong and protective brother.
However, for most, it was destined to be a mere wish.
Qin Ya and Ruan Yu gazed at that unparalleled young man, thinking inwardly that this guy probably doesn’t remember us anymore.
Soon after, under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Tianyu and Xiao Ziyan walked into the air and left, and the eyes of tens of thousands of people watched their backs, admiring them, but it was destined that the departing peerless youth would become a legend in the Land of Nine Provinces.
Tonight, at the Desolate Continent Sword Palace, not only did he sweep through the Saint List, killing Profound Heaven, but he also wiped out two great deities. Aside from him, who else in the vast Nine Provinces could have done that? Of course, as his sister Xiao Ziyan, the number one beauty of Nine Provinces, no one could aspire to her.
Neither Profound Heaven nor anyone else could.
...
Primordial Continent, Primordial Ancient Realm.
At the Celestial Sword Wall, Ye Qingcheng performed the Twenty-Seven Steps of Sword Unsealing, obtaining the inheritance of the Sword Saint Jue Chen, and also inherited the Twenty-Seven Dust-Defying Swords of the Sword Saint Jue Chen, even bestowing upon Ye Qingcheng a trace of Imperial Qi. With the power within the Sword Wall, he crushed all the heroes and stood unmatched.
Moreover, he killed Lu Chengfeng’s close younger brother, Lu Hao.
Lu Chengfeng, a renowned genius in the Desolate Ancient Realm, would not just let it go after Ye Qingcheng killed his brother at the Celestial Sword Wall in Phoenix City.
Certainly, the name of Ye Qingcheng shook the generation of Phoenix City completely, and Xuan Yue, the chief disciple of the Moon Viewing Sect, repeatedly tried to persuade Ye Qingcheng to join the Moon Viewing Sect to cultivate, but was repeatedly refused by Ye Qingcheng.
However, Xuan Yue did not give up and went alone with Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Jiu to the Jingzhou Ancient City.
The Jingzhou Ancient City is one of the most dangerous cities in the Primordial Ancient Realm and is within the sphere of influence of the Ancient Kingdom of Xiliang in the Primordial Ancient Realm. The Governor of the Ancient Kingdom of Xiliang, the Empress of Xiliang, is a legendary figure of this generation.
Yet, there have always been rules throughout the ages, even if the Jingzhou Ancient City falls within the sphere of influence of Xiliang Kingdom, it cannot purposely make things difficult for the many geniuses practicing in the Primordial Ancient Realm. This is mandated by the Immortal Emperors of the Hundred Western Desolate Countries.
Nearly four months have passed since the battle at the Celestial Sword Wall, which means that it has also been four months since Xiao Jiu, Xuan Yue, and Ye Qingcheng entered the Jingzhou Ancient City.
Now, in the Jingzhou Ancient City, outside a relic, many genius figures from the Primordial Ancient Realm have gathered, and even the Governors of major forces of the Primordial Ancient Realm have arrived, waiting outside the relic.
Even the Empress of Xiliang has appeared, standing there.
In an instant, the atmosphere outside the relic became extremely tense, filled with killing intent everywhere.
The Sect Leader of the Moon Viewing Sect, Wang Yue.
The Sect Leader of the Profound Sect, Dao Xuan.
The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, Zhe Tian.
The Sect Leader of the Yun Sect, Yun Yang.
...
In addition to these top forces of the Primordial Ancient Realm, many unknown forces have also gathered outside the relic, all showing cold expressions, clearly indicating that significant events have transpired within this relic.
Of course, Lu Chengfeng, Jian Cheng, Zhan Mo, Gu Xiao, and other geniuses who were previously crushed by Ye Qingcheng at the Celestial Sword Wall were all present, their gaze fixed on the relic’s exit, as if afraid that someone might slip away unnoticed.
Of course, Qin Ruoyu, Qin Ruoqiu, Mu Yuan, and Ling Feng of the Celestial Sect were also among them, having come with the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, as they were all part of the Celestial Sect. Lu Chengfeng was among them as well.
As for Xuan Yue, she stood behind the Sect Leader of the Moon Viewing Sect, her beautiful eyes also fixed on the relic’s exit.
"Xuan Yue!" At this moment, Wang Yue spoke to Xuan Yue, "Are you sure that inside the relic, Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Jiu gained Sacred Intent?"
"Yes, they should have obtained the Saint’s Inheritance and used Sacred Intent within the relic to crush all the other geniuses, becoming the only ones. They should still be inside undergoing the baptism of Sacred Intent, but now with so many Immortal Emperor-level experts gathered outside the relic, it’s unlikely to be easy to keep them safe!" Xuan Yue’s beautiful eyes flashed with concern.
Ye Qingcheng’s talent is unparalleled, and disguised as a man, he is extremely handsome. Over the past three months, Xuan Yue has already developed feelings for Ye Qingcheng, after all, the dazzling geniuses always attract beauties.
Moreover, how could Ye Qingcheng, such an outstandingly handsome man, not be attractive?
Originally, four months ago, when Ye Qingcheng, Xiao Jiu, and Xuan Yue came to the Jingzhou Ancient City, they coincidentally encountered the opening of a Saint’s Relics, something never before seen in the Primordial Ancient Realm.
The most crucial point is that the news spread rapidly, and four months ago, the Jingzhou Ancient City attracted too many top-level figures from the Desolate Ancient Realm to enter the Saint’s Relics, but they were ultimately outdone by Xiao Jiu and Ye Qingcheng, who grasped the Sacred Intent, and eventually gained the Saint’s Inheritance. Now, four months have passed, and Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Jiu still haven’t emerged from the Saint’s Relics.
This kind of news cannot be hidden, causing the entire Primordial Ancient Realm to be in an uproar, and this is the main reason why so many forces and geniuses are now blocking the exit of the Saint’s Relics.
After hearing Xuan Yue’s words, Wang Yue glanced around, feeling the pressure, as the major forces gathered here are not like her, here to recruit Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Jiu; most are here for the Saint’s Inheritance.
After all, the Governors of the Hundred Western Desolate Countries are only at the Immortal Emperor level, so when a Saint’s Relics appears here, it’s natural for people to be greedy. It is believed that if this matter were to spread beyond the Primordial Ancient Realm to the Hundred Western Desolate Countries, the rulers of the hundred countries might all come personally.
However, there is no opportunity for them to do so. There are restrictions on the realm within the Primordial Ancient Realm, and no one above the Martial Emperor level can enter.
Thus, Wang Yue said to Xuan Yue, "Let’s wait and see. If things really reach a point beyond control, there’s nothing I can do either. After all, the Saint’s Inheritance is too tempting for too many people!"
Having said that, Wang Yue looked towards the direction of Xiliang, and saw a white-haired woman standing there, calm in demeanor. Despite her white hair, her appearance was outstanding, her temperament cold and aloof, just standing there gave an impression of an icy and indifferent mountain.
