Chapter 186

“A dead end?”

Ye Xuan smiled.

The moment when Steward Wu saw Ye Xuan smiling, he frowned all of a sudden. “Does Ye Xuan have a hidden card?”

Without too much thinking, he waved his right hand. “Kill him!”

As soon as his sound fell, seven men in black behind him rushed straight out.

Those people were top murderers, and they came extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already come up to Ye Xuan. Obviously, this Spirit-sealing Formation only aimed at Ye Xuan because these men in black were not affected!

Just at this time—

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

As dull thuds continued ringing, those men in black retreated quickly.

Suddenly, the expression of Steward Wu changed dramatically.

Five gold people were standing in front of Ye Xuan!

And the Spirit-sealing Formation couldn't affect the five gold men a little!

Of course, the Formation couldn't affect these gold men for the Formations inside them were much more powerful than the Spirit-sealing Formation.

After they repelled those black-clothed men, the five gold people suddenly bombarded wildly toward the ground.

Seeing this, Steward Wu's eyelids jumped. “Withdraw!”

“Withdraw!”

Steward Wu and others immediately turned around and ran away!

When Steward Wu learned that the formation was useless, he decisively chose to retreat because once the formation was broken, all the people under the All-methods Realm couldn't defeat Ye Xuan!

They didn't even need to try to fight against Ye Xuan!

Before Steward Wu went very far, an explosion suddenly sounded behind them.

Ye Xuan broke the Formation!

Steward Wu was greatly frightened, and he suddenly increased his speed. At this moment, a sword cropped up in front of him. The pupils of Steward Wu suddenly shrank. As he was about to make his move, the sword directly penetrated his glabella!

He had little protection against the sword!

At the same time, the men in black beside Steward Wu also fell straight down in an instant with swords inserted in their glabellae!

Behind the few people, Ye Xuan came up to them slowly.

Looking at the bodies on the ground, Ye Xuan shook his head. “You have wasted my Spiritual Stones!”

When his sound fell, Ye Xuan guided those swords with his fingers. Then, the swords flew back to the sword box in his hand one after another.

After Ye Xuan checked up the battlefield, he kept shaking his head.

These people were so poor that they didn't even have fifty million gold coins in total and only had a few pieces of the Supreme Spiritual Stones!

Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at the two people standing in the near distance.

They were Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord!

In fact, just when Ye Xuan left Jiang Country, Cangmu College and the Dark World had already sent people to investigate Ye Xuan's whereabouts secretly.

Surely, they kept a close watch on Ye Xuan's movements at the same time. So they began to feel a little panic when they learned that Ye Xuan was coming to Dayun Realm!

Previously, Ye Xuan guarded pa.s.sively. But now, he made his first move to attack. If people in the All-methods Realm couldn't go out to fight, who else could stop Ye Xuan?

No one!

Unfortunately, people in the All-methods Realm couldn't join the fight against Ye Xuan!

Because Ye Xuan also had someone who supported him behind!

If Ye Xuan had no backing, the two forces could still bully him and do whatever they wanted to him. But the problem was that the one behind Ye Xuan was truly too horrible! She killed those people in the Method-controlling Realm as if she were killing chickens. Therefore, the two forces dared not to bully Ye Xuan!

They felt quite helpless!

They also felt wronged!

These were the moods of Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord.

People who could kill Ye Xuan didn't dare to make their moves while those people who were allowed to attack couldn't kill Ye Xuan! How helpless and wronged they felt now!

Ye Xuan did not speak. He turned around and left!

What could Ye Xuan say?

He had nothing to talk to Cangmu College and the Dark World!

Mu Qingxuan suddenly appeared not far ahead from Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan stopped.

Mu Qingxuan asked, “We cannot make peace with each other on this matter, right?”

“Does he want me to make peace with him?”

Ye Xuan grinned, “It seems that it was you who told me that you would never stop until I died at the beginning. So don't you no longer want to be so persistent now?”

Mu Qingxuan said calmly, “Do you think that you can win? Ye Xuan, if we go on fighting, both of us will suffer in the end. You…”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “Don't talk too much nonsense. Either you kill me, or I kill you!”

With this, he went around Mu Qingxuan and walked toward the distance. But soon, he stopped. “Right, can you tell me how can I get to Cangmu College?”

Mu Qingxuan, “…”

“Haha…”

With laughter, Ye Xuan disappeared at the end of the street.

When Ye Xuan left, Mu Qingxuan slowly closed his eyes. Beside him, the Dark Lord said in a deep voice, “Did you want to buy some time by trying to peace with him?”

Mu Qingxuan nodded. “When Ye Xuan arrives in the Imperial Capital, you and I cannot stop him if he chooses to go to the Dark World or Cangmu College. Only people in the headquarter of Canglan College can stop this person. But the people in the headquarter need some time first… I pretended to make peace just now only to buy some time for them. However, Ye Xuan obviously has already seen my intentions!”

The Dark Lord asked with a deep tone, “Then, what shall we do now?”

Mu Qingxuan opened his eyes and looked into the distance. “You must stop this person from entering the Imperial Capital of Dayun Empire. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the Dark World on your side and Cangmu College on mine. Let's go to look for Kaoshan King in Dayun Empire!”

After that, the two people disappeared.

In the city, Ye Xuan found Cangmu College. But unfortunately, there was no one in the college inside the city!

All the people in the college were gone!

Not only did all the people there leave, but all the valuable things in the whole Cangmu College had been taken away by them! Ye Xuan could not help breaking out into a curse.

Ye Xuan didn't stop. He immediately turned around and left!

And now, his goal was to go to the Imperial Capital of Dayun Empire!

The Imperial Palace of Dayun Empire.

A woman sat in front of a pool, dangling her feet in the water of the pool. There were countless blackfish gathering around her feet.

The woman looked down at those little fish in the pool. Her pair of feet, which were as white as polished jade, dangled gently. Watching those small fish constantly sucking her little feet, she involuntarily lifted her mouth corners a little up.

At this moment, a woman wearing armor with a long sword hanging at her waist went up to the woman before pool and slightly bowed. “My king, Dean Mu and the Dark Lord asked to see you!”

The woman gave a gentle smile, which looked increasing charming. “Yes, please!”

The woman with armor turned around and left.

After a short while, Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord came to the pool. When Mu Qingxuan saw the woman by the pool, he slightly saluted. “Miss Lian!”

He was very polite to her!

In fact, Mu Qingxuan didn't dare to be rude to her!

Though the condition of Dayun Empire was much worse than before, no one dared to underestimate it easily. After all, it used to be the most powerful hegemon in the Qing Continent. Beyond that, this woman before him was Lian Wanli, an unfathomable person. At least, both Cangmu College and the Dark World hadn't figured out her actual strength so far!

Slowly, Lian Wanli got up. She walked up to them with a gentle smile. “Do you come up to me because of Ye Xuan?”

Mu Qingxuan nodded. “Exactly. The two of us want to ask you for help.”

Lian Wanli smiled and said. “I'm flattered. Cangmu College, the Dark World, and Dayun Empire are the three parts of an integrated whole. Thus, we should help each other. How about this? I will send out fifty Dark Flame Hors.e.m.e.n! How do you think about that?”

Mu Qingxuan was overjoyed, and he quickly replied, “Of course, it cannot be better!”

Lian Wanli smiled a little. “But, to give an explanation to those old fogeys in the imperial court, I hope that you two can pay me a little. I will not ask for too much. You only need to pay a nominal price, ten million Supreme Spiritual Stones. Is it okay?”

Upon hearing the price, Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord became somewhat hesitant.

Lian Wanli asked lightly. “Do you think those hors.e.m.e.n are not worth such a price?”

Mu Qingxuan smiled bitterly. “Of course, they are worth so many Supreme Spiritual Stones. Ten million, done!”

Lian Wanli smiled and said, “Great! Uhm, Ye Xuan is not a simple person. I'm afraid that fifty Dark Flame Hors.e.m.e.n are not enough. How about this? I will call on all the aristocratic families to make their contributions. As long as all the strong ones in Dayun Realm join the hands, it will not be a difficult thing for us to kill a single person Ye Xuan!”

Wearing a smile, Mu Qingxuan said, “It is better in this way. If all the people in Dayun Realm unit in one purpose, we naturally will not fear Ye Xuan.”

Lian Wanli suddenly frowned. “But it is just I'm afraid that those aristocratic families will not be willing to cooperate…”

Mu Qingxuan smiled and promised, “Rea.s.sured. When all of us give the order, they dare not go against us!”

Lian Wanli cracked a smile. “Then, that will be perfect.”

Mu Qingxuan and the Dark Lord thanked her again and again. Then, they turned around and left.

After they walked away, Lian Wanli shook her head, filled with anger. “Cangmu College and the Dark World are too bad. They gather so many people to fight against one person, which is really a shame. I cannot bear to watch this anymore. Some of you go to bring my Green Dragon Blade here. I… I am going to peel a pear…”

The woman in armor. “…”
