Huo Du was dead.
The cultivators of the Yuhua Sect and the Huo Manor were furious. Looking at Ye Xuan's leaving figure, they rode the wind and chased after him.
The cultivators of the Snow Palace, led by Feng Qingxue, also chased after Ye Xuan. Her undergarment was still in Ye Xuan's hands, and she would not let this matter rest.
In an instant, everyone in the mountain range disappeared as they chased after him on their flying swords.
On the Invincible Sword Box.
Iron Slave turned around and looked behind him. "Young Master, they have caught up."
Ye Xuan said casually, "It's fine."
"Young Master, both you and Mr. Dugu are so powerful. Why don't we kill them all and get rid of any future trouble?" Iron Slave asked.
"It's not as simple as you think," Ye Xuan said in a low voice and turned to look at Dugu Qiubai. "Dugu, you should have noticed it too."
Dugu Qiubai nodded his head. "There are living beings that have escaped from the Celestial Secret Realm. This matter is much more complicated than we thought. These living beings are extremely powerful. If we wait for them to recover, the world will be in for a catastrophe."
Iron Slave's expression changed. "Young Master, what does killing these people have to do with living beings escaping?"
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Outside Celestial City.
Everyone floated down from the Invincible Sword Box and appeared in the wilderness outside the city. One figure after another followed closely behind, their killing intent bursting out and enveloping Ye Xuan.
"Do you all wish to continue fighting for the supreme treasure?"
"Make your move!"
Ye Xuan said in a low voice.
The old man from the Huo Manor walked out and waved his sleeves in anger. "Crown Prince Xia, you killed the eldest young master of the Huo Manor. Don't even think about leaving Celestial City alive."
Ye Xuan replied, "Celestial City is part of Great Xia. I can come and go as I please. As for your Huo Manor, it will be gone very soon."
The old man raised his arm and crushed a spirit stone in his palm. "Crown Prince Xia, you'll soon know how stupid it is to make an enemy of the Huo Manor."
Shouting?
Wasn't this exactly what Ye Xuan wanted?
He had already planned to get rid of the Huo Manor and support the Tantai Manor to become the master of Celestial City.
Now that the Huo Manor had taken the initiative to deliver themselves to him, how could he not be satisfied?
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
One figure after another flew out of the city and landed in the wilderness. The person in the lead was the head of the Huo Clan, Huo Jiuzhen.
The old man stepped forward and bowed. "Patriarch, the eldest young master has been killed by Crown Prince Xia."
Huo Jiuzhen's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Huo Du had always been the hope of the Huo Manor. It was because of him that the Huo Clan could have a relationship with Yuhua Sect. Now that Huo Du had been killed, their relationship with Yuhua Sect had been cut off.
Without Yuhua Sect, the Huo Clan's status would plummet.
"Crown Prince Xia, I'll make you pay with your blood."
"The murderer will be killed. Only you are allowed to attack me, but I'm not allowed to kill?" Ye Xuan said coldly. "Enough, cut the crap. If you want revenge, come at me together!"
"After today, the Huo Clan will no longer exist in Great Xia!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Qiubai had already made his move. His sword was like a graceful swan, pointing directly at Huo Jiuzhen. The latter shouted angrily, "Let's kill Crown Prince Xia together!"
Huo Jiuzhen wasn't afraid of Ye Xuan's identity. In his opinion, Celestial City was high and far away from the Emperor. Even if they killed Ye Xuan, the royal family of Great Xia couldn't do anything to them.
At worst, he would just leave Great Xia and head to another empire.
Clank.
Clank.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, and cold light burst forth. Dugu Qiubai's figure shuttled through the crowd in front of him. Wherever he passed, everyone was sent flying, and blood spurted out like columns. In an instant, dozens of people were dead.
One-hit kill.
Huo Jiuzhen's face twitched as he looked at the corpses in the wilderness. He quickly turned to look at the experts of the Yuhua Sect and said, "Seniors, Crown Prince Xia has killed your disciples. Please help."
Yuhua Sect had already lost two experts to Dugu Qiubai. They knew that they were no match for Dugu Qiubai, so they were helpless in the face of Huo Jiuzhen's request.
At this moment, three figures floated down from the sky. The person was none other than the woman who rode the Dragon Elephant Beast with Huo Du in the past. She was the third miss of Yuhua Sect, Yun Xiyue.
When Huo Jiuzhen saw Yun Xiyue, he bowed. "Third Miss, please avenge my son."
"Patriarch Huo, he's already dead. My condolences!" Yun Xiyue said.
From her words, it was obvious that she didn't intend to fight Ye Xuan for Huo Du.
"Crown Prince Xia, we've met. I'm Yun Xiyue from the Yuhua Sect. I want to be friends with you."
"When I met you at the city gate, I knew that you were a dragon among men. I wonder if you would like to join Yuhua Sect!"
Ye Xuan glanced at Yun Xiyue. "Not interested."
Yun Xiyue did not get angry. "Crown Prince Xia, please think about it. If Xia can get the protection of the Yuhua Sect, it will become the most powerful empire in the world. Not just anyone can join Yuhua Sect."
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. "Miss Yun, don't waste your breath. I don't intend to join any force."
In Yun Xiyue's eyes, Huo Du was just one of the many personal disciples of the Yuhua Sect. If it weren't for the secret realm in Celestial City, she would never have had any contact with Huo Du and would not have returned with him.
"Crown Prince Xia, don't blame me for not warning you. Huo Du's master is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. Since you killed his beloved disciple, he will definitely turn the Great Xia Empire upside down."
"If you choose to join Yuhua Sect, I can recommend you to become the sect master's disciple. That way, you won't have to worry about revenge."
"No need, I'll wait for him!" Ye Xuan refused again.
Yun Xiyue smiled. "Then, I'll wish you good luck."
"I also wish you good luck, Miss Yun," Ye Xuan said.
Yun Xiyue gave Ye Xuan a meaningful look. "Let's go."
Huo Jiuzhen looked at Yun Xiyue's back as she left and was instantly dumbfounded. The cultivators of the Yuhua Sect had left just like that, giving up on the Huo Clan?
"Your helper from the Huo Clan seems to have left," Ye Xuan said. "Now, tell me how you want to die."
"Even without Yuhua Sect, I'll take you down with me," Huo Jiuzhen said coldly.
Perish together?
He was too naive.
"Iron Slave, go, kill him!"
"I'll be gentle, old man. I'll show you what it's like to burst a chicken with a big sword," Iron Slave said with a silly smile.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
...
On the other side.
Yun Xiyue left with the cultivators of the Yuhua Sect. As they walked, an old man asked, "Miss, why didn't you help the Huo Clan?"
"It's not worth it," Yun Xiyue said.
The old man looked puzzled. "Huo Du is Elder Wu's personal disciple. You should know that. If he knows that Huo Du has died, he would definitely attack the Great Xia Empire. Yuhua Sect will have a war with the Great Xia Empire sooner or later."
Yun Xiyue shook her head. "Elder Wu can only represent him. He can't represent the entire Yuhua Sect. Remember not to make an enemy of Crown Prince Xia, or you will regret it."
"It won't be long before Crown Prince Xia's name is known throughout the world."
Everyone was silent and followed Yun Xiyue closely. The latter's mind moved. "Master, did Crown Prince Xia discover your existence?"
"Yes, he discovered us when we were outside the secret realm. However, he didn't make a sound and didn't make a big deal out of it." A hoarse voice came through. "He wished you good luck just now so that you would be on guard against me. He was probably worried that you would be possessed by me."
"You chose not to be his enemy, and that was the right choice."
"I'll listen to you, Master." Yun Xiyue turned around and looked down at the city. "Crown Prince Xia. How interesting. I'll remember you."
