Within the Youyuan Secret Realm.
*Swish~*
At a certain moment, a group of people appeared in the scene. This group consisted of Ye Xuan, the little black dragon, and nine disciples including Dugu Xiaoyi.
The reason for bringing Dugu Xiaoyi along was naturally for the trial. Of course, Dugu Qingcang and Lin Cangqiong originally did not want Dugu Xiaoyi to undergo trials, as they themselves had not fully explored the Youyuan Secret Realm, and there were bound to be many dangers.
Moreover!
Now that Dugu Xiaoyi's Nine Nether Bloodline had been activated, she was not only their precious daughter but also the hope of the future Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Sacred Land.
Of course, after witnessing the mystery of the Exquisite Pagoda, the worries of the two dissipated. After all, such an existence far surpassed their comprehension.
It was also because of this that they agreed to let Dugu Xiaoyi come to the Youyuan Secret Realm together.
Clearly, they also understood that only by enduring hardships could one stand on their own. If they continued to protect Dugu Xiaoyi, she would never be able to grow.
"Wow~"
"This is the Youyuan Secret Realm, I've finally arrived here!"
Dugu Xiaoyi looked around like a curious baby, muttering, "I've wanted to come here for a long time, but my father and those old guys never let me. Hehe, but now this princess is inside."
"Master, let's go and explore the secret realm."
With that, Dugu Xiaoyi, with full spirit, chattered excitedly. Feng Chen and the others smiled and said nothing, after all, she was their junior sister.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan glanced behind him and, with Feng Chen and the others, headed deeper into the secret realm.
Approximately, after more than ten minutes.
Ye Xuan gave the little black dragon a look and stopped. The little black dragon, understanding, scanned its surroundings vigilantly, protecting Feng Chen and the nine others.
"Since you are all here, please show yourselves."
A calm voice resounded. Ye Xuan's face was expressionless, as nothing in the entire secret realm could threaten him. Being a sixth-rank Immortal Lord was no small feat.
*Swish~~*
Figures appeared in the scene the next moment. Roughly estimated, there were about a hundred of them, and each and every one of them was a strong individual at the Immortal Elder level or above. The strongest among them was none other than the ancestor of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom, Yuwen Lanyue.
In an instant, the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom's experts blocked all escape routes for Ye Xuan and the others.
"Oh~"
Yuwen Lanyue looked at Ye Xuan meaningfully, "You actually discovered our presence. It seems... you are very confident in your own strength."
"Ah~!"
Hearing Yuwen Lanyue's words, Dugu Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise, "Master, I know him."
"He is Yuwen Lanyue, the ancestor of the third-rank Immortal Lord of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom. He came to Southern Yue Immortal City a year ago."
Before Yuwen Lanyue could speak, Dugu Xiaoyi revealed his identity. Yuwen Lanyue, upon hearing this, shifted his gaze to Dugu Xiaoyi, then his lips curved into a smile, "Heh heh, it is truly an honor for this old man to be remembered by the little princess of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom."
"No wonder you would intervene in the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom's affairs. So... you are this little princess of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's master, tsk tsk~"
"If that's the case, you must be an Immortal Lord."
After careful consideration, Yuwen Lanyue said this. After all, if he were not an Immortal Lord, the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Sacred Land would never have agreed to this apprenticeship.
"However, that is all."
Yuwen Lanyue smiled at Ye Xuan, as if everything was under his control. "Hand over Dugu Xiaoyi, and I can consider sparing your lives. Otherwise... death!"
As the words fell, Yuwen Lanyue's peak third-rank Immortal Lord aura erupted. The little black dragon's eyes flickered with mockery, this old scoundrel truly did not know his limits.
"Spare my life?"
Ye Xuan heard Yuwen Lanyue's words, and a smile played on his lips, "Is that so."
Then, without any warning, he raised his hand and slapped out. The next moment, Yuwen Lanyue, a peak third-rank Immortal Lord, was sent flying.
"A mere peak third-rank Immortal Lord, what is he?"
Dugu Xiaoyi, "!!!!"
Looking at her master's actions, even though she knew that Yuwen Lanyue was likely not her master's opponent, she never expected her master to be so powerful. With one move, he sent Yuwen Lanyue flying. This... felt so good!
"Master... so domineering!!"
For a moment, Dugu Xiaoyi's admiration for her master could not be described in words, because even a myriad of barren words could not describe even one-tenth of her master's current display.
Feng Chen and the others were also stunned, their gazes fixed on their master. It seemed their master was getting more and more powerful. No, to be precise, he was powerful beyond their imagination.
"Pfft~~"
Yuwen Lanyue was heavily injured by the slap and was furious. He was the ancestor of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom, and now he had been instantly defeated by a mere youngster. Would he not become a laughingstock of the world? He could not tolerate this.
"Kid, you are seeking death!!"
Immediately, he drew his long sword and unleashed a terrifying sword technique towards Ye Xuan. However, before his sword strike could reach him.
*Slap~!!*
A crisp sound was heard. Yuwen Lanyue was immediately slapped to the ground by Ye Xuan, and then, to everyone's horrified gaze, Ye Xuan stepped on his face.
"Scoundrel!"
"Release Ancestor Lanyue, otherwise... we will make sure you have a miserable death!"
*Crack~*
Before the voices of several Immortal Lord ancestors of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom could even fall, Yuwen Lanyue's facial bones shattered, and he suffered immense humiliation.
"You scoundrel, how dare you touch me, the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom will not..."
*Bang!!!*
Before Yuwen Lanyue could finish speaking, his head exploded. All the hundred Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom experts were dumbfounded. What the hell had they just witnessed??
Ancestor Lanyue, had his head stomped and exploded by that guy!!
The little black dragon's mouth twitched. Good heavens, his master was so fierce. It seemed he had lost his patience with these assassins.
The pungent smell of blood made Feng Chen and the others feel nauseous. Their master, when he was furious, was too terrifying. A peak third-rank Immortal Lord, and his head was stomped and exploded just like that, without even blinking.
Especially Dugu Xiaoyi, her eyes widened. The scene before her had far exceeded her comprehension. "Master... actually stomped and exploded the head of a peak third-rank Immortal Lord. The Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom has suffered a great loss, hehe, well done!!"
