"Kill them all, leave none alive!"
As Dongfang Wenren's voice fell, over thirty powerhouses from Guiyuan Sect immediately attacked. Qin Lutian flashed repeatedly, killing all three old ancestors of the Jiang family.
After all, even at their peak, none of them were his match, let alone now that they were severely injured!
With the three strongest individuals from the three factions killed, the remaining people naturally couldn't stir up any trouble. They were quickly slaughtered by the ancestors of Guiyuan Sect, their eyes clearly still eager for more.
"Ancestor Wenren!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the person being chased is the current Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Ji Wutian, isn't he!?"
Qin Lutian looked towards the direction of the cave dwelling and spoke.
"Heh, it is indeed him. But why did the Alliance Leader suddenly help him without ever having met Ji Wutian?"
Dongfang Wenren continued, "Ji Wutian's identity is to be kept secret for now. Pass down the order to be vigilant of the surroundings and do not let anyone disturb the Alliance Leader!"
"Yes, Ancestor!!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lutian immediately responded solemnly. With a wave of his hand, the ancestors of Guiyuan Sect instantly vanished into the shadows, guarding the cave dwelling.
.........
Inside the cave dwelling.
Ye Xuan frowned as he looked at the severely injured and unconscious man.
"Tsk tsk, I really don't know who this person is."
"Over a thousand experts at least at the eighth stage of Void Ancestor chasing after him, truly formidable!"
With that thought, he flipped his right hand, took out a spirit herb of fifty thousand years, shattered it, and infused its pure medicinal power into the man's body.
The comatose man then slowly opened his eyes. Instinctively, he wanted to unleash killing intent, but upon seeing that he was in a cave dwelling, he slightly lowered his guard.
"Young friend, did you save me?"
Ji Wutian looked at the young man opposite him, puzzled. After all, his pursuers were numerous experts at the Dao Ancestor level. This young man before him was only at the second stage of Void Ancestor...
Of course, Ji Wutian did not know that Ye Xuan had already advanced to the fourth stage of Void Ancestor at this moment!
"Huh~~"
"Less than a hundred years old, yet already at the second stage of Void Ancestor, this!?"
Clearly, Ji Wutian had sensed Ye Xuan's age, and he was utterly shaken.
"Good heavens, young friend, it's a miracle you're still alive!"
One must know that any genius less than a hundred years old, if noticed by Dao Ancestor level experts, would undoubtedly be dissected and studied immediately.
"You're awake."
Without acknowledging Ji Wutian's shock, Ye Xuan said calmly. After all, with Dongfang Wenren and the Exquisite Pagoda by his side, who would dare to harm him? Of course, he couldn't rule out someone seeking their own demise.
"Cough cough... Thank you, young friend, for saving me today."
Looking at Ye Xuan, his lifesaver, Ji Wutian, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, flipped his right hand. "Young friend, this is a jade pendant that can conceal one's age. While it may be somewhat trivial to ordinary people, I believe it should be useful to you."
"Oh!?"
Hearing Ji Wutian's words, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. There was such a thing in the world? He hadn't even found it in the system's shop.
"Then thank you."
Ye Xuan accepted the dragon-shaped jade pendant with ease. The fact that this person was being chased by over a thousand experts at the eighth stage of Void Ancestor, including dozens of Dao Ancestors, already proved his extraordinary nature.
It seemed... becoming sworn brothers with someone like this wouldn't be bad either.
With that thought, he became even more interested in the system's task!
"Young friend, may I know your name?"
"Heh, my name is Ye Xuan, a cultivator with decent talent."
Hearing Ji Wutian's question, Ye Xuan smiled slightly. "And may I ask your esteemed name?"
"Oh, hehe, my name is Wu Tian. I've offended some people, so I'm being pursued."
Ji Wutian chuckled. He naturally wouldn't reveal his true name, but in his heart, he was deeply grateful to Ye Xuan, secretly resolving to repay this young man who had saved his life.
"By the way, little friend Ye."
"Is there anything you need my help with? As long as I can do it, I will agree to it!"
Thinking of the immeasurable debt he owed, Ji Wutian, the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, spoke. If this scene were known to the outside world, the entire Galactic Empire would be turned upside down.
For a joke?
The Emperor of the Galactic Empire agreeing to something was more shocking than an eighteen-magnitude earthquake!
"Oh?"
Hearing Ji Wutian take the bait so readily, Ye Xuan felt a little embarrassed. "Cough cough, in that case, I won't be polite."
"Little friend Ye, just say it!"
Having narrowly escaped death, Ji Wutian was in good spirits. He understood very well that if Ye Xuan hadn't saved him, he would likely have returned to hell by now. Not only that, but the Galactic Empire would have fallen into chaos, and he might have become a sinner for eternity in the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, as long as Ye Xuan's request was not too excessive, he would agree.
"How about this."
"This is our first meeting, and Brother Wu and I are quite compatible. Why don't we become sworn brothers?"
This sudden proposal left Ji Wutian stunned.
Sworn brothers?
Obviously, Ji Wutian had not expected Ye Xuan to make such a request. He was over ten thousand years old, while this young man before him was so young, likely not even a tenth of his age.
However...
Setting aside age, the fact that this person had become a second-stage Void Ancestor at less than a hundred years old was enough to demonstrate his terrifying talent.
If he were to grow up in the future... it might not be a bad thing for him.
Furthermore, this young man was very mysterious. If his guess was correct, the forces behind him must also be extraordinary. Being able to save him from the Jiang family and the Heavenly Serpent Hall meant that his strength was at least not below the peak of the third stage Dao Ancestor.
"Is that so."
"I also find young friend Ye to be very compatible. If you don't mind my much greater age, call me Brother."
As Ji Wutian said this, a sharpness flashed in his eyes that had never been seen before. He had never had such a relationship in his lonely tens of thousands of years.
"Good."
Ye Xuan nodded calmly, completely unaware that the person before him was the Emperor of the Galactic Empire who had controlled it for thousands of years. If this news were to reach the outside world, it would undoubtedly cause boundless waves.
Becoming sworn brothers with the Emperor of the Galactic Empire was a dream for countless cultivators and forces!
"Little friend Ye, oh no, Second Brother!"
"Since you are now my big brother, I will give you a gift today, as repayment for saving me earlier."
As his voice fell, following the jade pendant, Ji Wutian once again produced a spirit herb. The moment it appeared, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. "This spirit herb is seventy thousand years old. It is my most precious possession currently, and I give it to you."
Ye Xuan was also stunned upon hearing Ji Wutian's words. Looking at the spirit herb before him, "Good heavens, seventy thousand years old right from the start. Just who is this newly recognized sworn brother of mine?"
Observing the scene from the shadows, Dongfang Wenren's eyelids twitched wildly. "The current Emperor of the Galactic Empire is indeed... very generous."
