Several days later.
In a certain area of the Xuan Alliance's expanding territory, Ye Xuan was finally taking Luo Tianyi to enjoy a 'grand and magnificent' world for two, having put aside all matters of the Xuan Alliance.
Today was the third day of their travels, and their destination was indeed approaching the furthest reaches of the Xuan Alliance's borders.
As for the five little ones, they were naturally at ease. With the child-king Du Gu Xiao Yi around, the five little ones would never be bored. Moreover, with Feng Chen and the others accompanying them, they were practically inseparable.
However!
Sometimes things are just too coincidental, a single fly will always appear in ways you never expect.
*Swoosh~*
Just then, two figures streaked from afar. In the next moment, they intercepted Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi's path. The moment they entered the scene, Huangfu Yue's gaze fell upon Luo Tianyi with burning intensity.
"What a beautiful woman. If I could take her under my wing, she would surely be a great general!"
As he spoke these words, he seemed to have completely missed the murderous intent in Ye Xuan's eyes. Indeed, a beauty could always bring about considerable trouble.
"Kid, I'm taking your woman!"
"I'll give you three breaths to leave, otherwise... die!"
As Huangfu Yue's voice fell, a crisp slapping sound echoed. Following that, Huangfu Yue, a dignified seventh-tier Immortal Lord, was utterly annihilated by a single slap from Ye Xuan.
"Bastard kid, you're seeking death!"
Huangfu Hanming was stunned. To slap a seventh-tier Immortal Lord into oblivion with a single palm, this kid was definitely not ordinary. Thus, without hesitation, he unleashed his full power.
However...
Clearly, he had vastly underestimated Ye Xuan's strength.
Similarly, with an outstretched palm, no fancy moves, just another crisp slapping sound.
Huangfu Hanming, the ancestor of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, a peak existence of the Star Realm first layer, was annihilated in the field just like Huangfu Yue, a mist of blood filling the sky. A surge of energy then blew the blood mist away.
Luo Tianyi felt her man's anger and gave him a comforting look. Her heart felt sweet. She knew very well that he had angrily slapped them both because they had spoken disrespectfully to her.
"Sirs, do you intend to hide in the shadows forever?"
Having dealt with two flies, Ye Xuan glanced towards a certain spot. The two hidden figures faltered for a moment, then emerged with bitter smiles. These two were none other than Su Qianqiu and Su Tianqi from the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom.
*Gulp~*
They had witnessed the scene just moments ago. At this moment, how could they dare to be careless? They were fully alert, fearing that the man might slap them as well, in which case their fate would likely be a mist of blood.
"If you two had no hostile intent, you would not be alive now."
Su Qianqiu and the other, "Uh..."
"Ahem, esteemed sir, you are right to discipline us."
However, Su Tianqi then looked at Ye Xuan with astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost. The first glance he caught of Ye Xuan... "Esteemed sir, you are... the Alliance Master of the Xuan Alliance, that Ye Xuan!!"
"What!!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqiu's pupils widened in disbelief. He abruptly shifted his gaze to Ye Xuan. "Ancestor Tianqi, what are you saying? This esteemed sir is the Alliance Master of the Xuan Alliance!"
Clearly, Su Qianqiu was greatly shocked. After all, he was the Alliance Master of the Xuan Alliance. Though a mere eighth-grade power, his strength was such that he could obliterate a peak Star Realm first-layer expert as if it were eating and drinking.
This meant...
This person's strength was definitely far beyond the peak of the Star Realm first layer, roughly estimated to be at least the Star Realm third layer, or even stronger!
"Ding! Host has triggered a mission: Reach a transaction with Su Tianqi to buy the [Po Chen Pill] and lay the groundwork for conquering the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom. Reward: 50 million Zi Wei coins, with an additional 100 million low-grade Saint Crystals!"
Conquer the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom?
Hearing the system's long-term plan, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. Good heavens, was this system making him follow a low-key, high-profile pretentious path?
However, regarding the rewards, the system was becoming more and more generous.
With this thought, Ye Xuan's gaze towards Su Tianqi and the other two shifted subtly. This subtle change made Su Tianqi and the other's hearts involuntarily tighten.
*Damn it~*
What was that look? Did he have some peculiar fetish?!
Unsure of what they were thinking, the two felt a shiver of disgust, their rear end tightening!
"You two are from the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom, aren't you?"
The bình thường voice that emerged felt like demonic music to Su Tianqi and the other. Su Tianqi's heart tightened. The fact that he had identified their origin already indicated much.
"Ahem, esteemed sir's guess is correct."
"We are indeed from the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom."
Su Tianqi licked his lips, even his breathing slowed considerably at this moment.
"No need to worry."
Ye Xuan showed a gentle smile. However, this made Su Tianqi's heart race even faster. Damn it, what was going on?
"Previously, I was entrusted by someone to look after the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom within my capabilities. Since I have encountered you two now, it is fate."
Ye Xuan then looked at Su Tianqi and a [Po Chen Pill] appeared in his hand. "Here, take this. It might help you break through your bottleneck."
"This is..."
"What a potent medicinal aroma!!"
Su Qianqiu looked at the [Po Chen Pill] in Ancestor Tianqi's hand and couldn't help but swallow hard. Su Tianqi naturally knew the terrifying nature of this pill and believed a portion of the 'entrusted care' claim.
Joking aside, why would someone who met them by chance give them such a precious item?
Su Tianqi knew this without even thinking. However...
What he didn't know was that this was precisely what Ye Xuan wanted!
Clearly, at this moment, Su Tianqi had fallen into the deep pit Ye Xuan had dug for him, and it was a pit he jumped into willingly.
"Thank you, esteemed sir!"
Without hesitation, Su Tianqi consumed the [Po Chen Pill]. Immediately, his body began to react.
Approximately fifteen minutes later.
*Buzz~*
An aura suddenly strengthened. Su Tianqi had indeed advanced from the peak of the Star Realm first layer to the Star Realm second layer, and was not far from the peak of the Star Realm second layer.
"Hiss..."
"This pill is truly a divine pill!!"
Su Tianqi felt the surge of power within his body and bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle. "Su Tianqi thanks esteemed sir for your grace!!"
At this moment, Ye Xuan's image in Su Tianqi's heart soared. Ye Xuan smiled with 'expert demeanor' and then looked at Su Qianqiu, taking out another pill. "This pill is called [Heaven Grade · Po Xian Pill]. Its effect is the same as the [Po Chen Pill], but it targets the Immortal Lord realm. When you use it at your peak, its effects will be immeasurable."
*Gulp~*
Looking at the pill in his hand, Su Qianqiu took a deep breath. "Thank you, esteemed sir, for your grace!!"
Undoubtedly, with such small favors, the two from the Ten Thousand Dragon Sacred Kingdom were utterly convinced by Ye Xuan. Damn it, they couldn't help but be awed by such a powerful figure! He was too formidable!
