Chapter 539: Suppressing Xue Yu, the Returning Star Fall City Ancestor

"Luo Tian, which great region did Ye Qingshuang go to for practice?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's inquiry, Luo Tian immediately responded respectfully: "Reporting to the City Lord, Ye Qingshuang went to the Southern Barbarian Region!"

"Southern Barbarian Region? Since that's the case, then you also go to the Southern Barbarian Region to practice, and by the way, protect Ye Qingshuang's safety!"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order!"

While responding to Ye Qingxuan's order, Luo Tian was also muttering in his heart:

"Ye Qingxuan? Ye Qingshuang? Now he's asking me to protect Ye Qingshuang, could this Ye Qingshuang really be the City Lord's clansman?"

Now, the core members under Ye Qingxuan basically all know the true name of Ye Qingxuan's main body.

Unlike Ye Qingshuang, who has never made a Dao oath.

Luo Tian, from the beginning under the inducement of Ye Qingxuan's clone, signed a contract of sale, to later being gradually convinced by Ye Qingxuan's strength, and then to finally coming to Dongxuan City and knowing the distinction between core members and outer members, he simply made a Dao oath to permanently swear allegiance to Ye Qingxuan.

This is also the reason why Luo Tian could directly become one of Dongxuan City's Dongxuan Envoys.

Since learning Ye Qingxuan's true name, Luo Tian has always had some guesses in his heart.

Now receiving the order to protect Ye Qingshuang, Luo Tian confirmed the previous guesses in his heart even more, but without Ye Qingxuan's tacit approval, he did not dare to directly ask Ye Qingshuang rashly.

Although Ye Qingshuang, because of the resources and cultivation techniques sponsored by Ye Qingxuan's clone, signed a contract before, needing to swear allegiance to Ye Qingxuan's clone, the mysterious merchant, for three thousand years.

But because Ye Qingshuang simultaneously awakened the Killing Body and the Quiet Heart, her state of mind has always been in a special state, so she has never made a Dao oath to swear her life to Ye Qingxuan.

Not being a core member of Dongxuan City, she could not learn Ye Qingxuan's true name, and other core members, because of the constraints of the Dao oath, could not reveal Ye Qingxuan's true name to non-core members.

So up to now, Ye Qingshuang does not know the true identity of Ye Qingxuan's main body.

Plus, after many years, Ye Qingxuan also did not know how to face his childhood friend, so after hesitating for a long time, Ye Qingxuan did not take the initiative to inform her of his identity and recognize her.

However, Ye Qingshuang is different from other cultivators after all, coming from the same clan as him.

So although Ye Qingshuang has not made a Dao oath all these years, Ye Qingxuan does not care about these.

Since Ye Qingshuang came to Dongxuan City, Ye Qingxuan has not met her, but he has allowed her to enjoy most of the treatment of the core members of Dongxuan City.

Just to be on the safe side, to avoid information related to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven being exposed in advance.

Ye Qingxuan left a restriction in Ye Qingshuang's sea of consciousness through the power of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, so that outsiders could not get any information he wanted to hide from her.

With the restriction left by the heaven and earth power of the Seventh-Order Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi together, even cultivators at the Mahayana Realm could not forcibly investigate.

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Qingxuan tacitly allowed Ye Qingshuang to enjoy most of the treatment of core members as a non-core member of Dongxuan City.

For her treatment that far exceeded ordinary people, Ye Qingshuang also had doubts.

It was just that she thought it was because her grandfather, who had already fallen, had an extraordinary friendship with the mysterious merchant, which allowed her to have such treatment in Dongxuan City.

It can be said that Ye Qingshuang is the only cultivator in Dongxuan City who can enter and exit the Qingxuan Cave Heaven at will and be transmitted to other great regions to practice without making a Dao oath.

Thinking of Ye Qingshuang, a complex look flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

Perhaps only after rebuilding the Ye family can he calmly expose his identity in front of Ye Qingshuang?

Although the Ye family was destroyed by the Green Demon clan, he finally succeeded in avenging the Ye family.

But the factor that ultimately led to the Ye family's demise was ultimately his momentary negligence and too many concerns.

However, where are the surviving members of the Ye family now? As his thoughts turned, Ye Qingxuan sighed in his heart, then looked at Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing and spoke:

"Alright, you two should withdraw!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing bowed and responded in unison, and were about to turn and leave Wanling Mountain.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, an aura of the Void Penetration Realm suddenly rushed straight into the sky outside Dongxuan City, and immediately after, a loud voice resounded throughout Dongxuan City: "Xue Yu of the Dongji Province Gui Sect is here, where is the Dongxuan City Lord?"

"People from the Gui Sect? Interesting!"

Hearing that the visitor was a Void Penetration Realm cultivator of the Gui Sect, Ye Qingxuan immediately narrowed his eyes slightly.

The World Map was his natal magic treasure, and he had left a wisp of spiritual sense clone in the World Map, so he naturally knew about the destruction of the Gui Sect.

At this point in time, a Void Penetration Realm powerhouse of the Gui Sect suddenly appeared and delivered himself to the door in a daze, obviously a fish that slipped through the net and did not know that the Gui Sect had been destroyed.

And the low-order loose cultivators in Dongxuan City who were already prepared to leave, after hearing Xue Yu's clamoring sound, immediately scattered in a rush.

They didn't even have time to pack the things in their caves, courtyards, and residential houses, and started to fly out of Dongxuan City in a scramble.

Ye Qingxuan, Bai Shuqing, and Luo Tian on Wanling Mountain saw this scene and did not stop it; only Bai Shuqing had fluctuations in his eyes, but finally returned to calm.

Sensing the aura of that figure outside, Bai Shuqing stepped forward and said:

"City Lord, should this person be handled by me and Luo Tian?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and said: "No matter, since he delivered himself to the door, let this seat stretch his muscles and bones."

In reality, Ye Qingxuan was worried that with the cultivation bases of Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing at this time, they were not the opponents of this Void Penetration Realm mid-stage powerhouse outside.

If the battle between the three destroyed the heaven and earth outside Dongxuan City, it would be a bit of a loss.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan wanted to take action personally.

After refusing Bai Shuqing's request, Ye Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, took a slightly lazy step, and his figure disappeared from Wanling Mountain.

Outside Dongxuan City.

Xue Yu looked at a figure that suddenly appeared above Dongxuan City, and was suddenly a bit suspicious.

Because when this figure just appeared, he actually didn't notice it at all.

Watching this figure standing with his hands behind his back, looking a bit lazy, with vigilance, Xue Yu immediately asked:

"Are you the City Lord of this Dongxuan City? This seat advises you, things of our Gui Sect are not so easy to take."

"If you are sensible, hand it over early, otherwise..."

Hearing Xue Yu's words, Ye Qingxuan yawned out of boredom.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan ignore him, Xue Yu was furious, and just as he was about to say something.

He saw Ye Qingxuan had already stretched out his right hand that had just yawned, his palm facing down, and pressed it in the air toward Xue Yu in the distance.

In an instant, the power of the Five Elements rules around was mobilized by Ye Qingxuan, gathering above Xue Yu at the speed of lightning, intertwining and gradually forming a high mountain transformed by the Five Elements rules.

"This... this is the rule fluctuation of the Void Meditation Realm? No, spare..."

As the anger on Xue Yu's face quickly turned into fear, and he was about to shout for mercy, the multicolored high mountain condensed by the Five Elements rules gathered by Ye Qingxuan had already crashed down.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a violent roar, after the dust stirred up around dissipated, Xue Yu's figure had already been suppressed by this mountain of Five Elements rules on the plain not far from Dongxuan City.

This high mountain formed by the intertwining of Five Elements rules was not a new minor supernatural power Ye Qingxuan had practiced.

It was just a basic application of the Five Elements rules that he had figured out as his comprehension of the minor supernatural power, Small Five Elements Shield, and the minor supernatural power, Small Five Elements Grinding Disc, gradually deepened. At this time, the figures of Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian also appeared behind Ye Qingxuan one after another.

Looking at the Gui Sect powerhouse suppressed by the Mountain of Five Elements rules below, Luo Tian could not help but ask:

"City Lord, how should this person be handled? Why not kill him directly to avoid future trouble?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"Dongxuan City's Seventh-Order auction is about to begin, so let's suppress this Gui Sect cultivator here to deter the Void Penetration Realm powerhouses of the major forces in Star Fall Province who are coming to participate in the Seventh-Order auction!"

He was not a person who liked trouble. If he could use this Void Penetration Realm mid-stage Gui Sect cultivator to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and thus achieve his goal, that would naturally be the best.

Just as he was preparing to return to Wanling Mountain, Ye Qingxuan seemed to remember something, his expression moved slightly, and he said indifferently:

"Kill all those cultivators who spread rumors in Dongxuan City before!"

After speaking, Ye Qingxuan's figure gradually faded in place and finally disappeared.

And Bai Shuqing bowed slightly toward the direction where Ye Qingxuan disappeared and responded:

"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order!"

If it weren't for Ye Qingxuan suppressing him before, he would have taken action long ago.

But it was not too late to take action now.

Although those cultivators who spread rumors in Dongxuan City had already fled Dongxuan City, these cultivators had long been secretly marked by him. How far could they run in Star Fall Province?

Finally, after Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian glanced at Xue Yu, who was suppressed by the power of the Five Elements rules below, they fled Dongxuan City.

Obviously, the two were following Ye Qingxuan's order to go and kill those cultivators who had spread rumors in Dongxuan City before.

After a while, only Xue Yu, who was trapped under the earth unable to move or speak, suppressed by the Five Elements rules, remained in place, as well as low-order cultivators who came out of Dongxuan City to watch the five-colored high mountain out of curiosity.

"This multicolored high mountain with five-colored luster constantly flowing looks so profound!"

"Nonsense, this is the power transformed by our City Lord's rules. Do you understand rules? That is the power that only cultivators above the Deity Transformation Realm can possess."

"Hmph, of course I understand! When I was practicing in Dongxuan Academy, I was in the top ten of the entire academy in the theoretical knowledge assessment."

"Wow, top ten in the academy? This brother is amazing!"

Hearing the praise around him, the Dongxuan City cultivator just now had a trace of pride on his face.

At this time, a curious voice came from the crowd watching: "Listening to the clamoring words before, the one suppressed by our City Lord seems to be a cultivator of the Gui Sect in the Dongji Province. I just don't know what cultivation base the Gui Sect cultivator under this high mountain has?"

"Is this still a question? The one who can let our City Lord take action to suppress must be at least a Void Penetration Realm powerhouse!"

"That's true, I said before, how could our Dongxuan City not be the opponent of that Gui Sect? Now those rumors in Dongxuan City are self-defeating, right?"

"Exactly, our City Lord is invincible in the Void Penetration Realm as long as he takes a slight action. Destroying a mere Gui Sect is just a piece of cake?"

"A Void Penetration Realm magnate was suppressed by our City Lord just like that. That is the Void Penetration Realm! I don't know when we will be able to break through to the Void Penetration Realm?"

Hearing this, this group of low-order Dongxuan City cultivators watching showed a look of yearning in their eyes.

And below the Mountain of Five Elements rules, Xue Yu heard the discussion of these low-order Dongxuan City cultivators and felt sad and angry in his heart.

It was just that at this time, he could no longer make any moves.

Although Ye Qingxuan did not kill him on the spot, his body, primordial spirit, spiritual power virtual realm, and the rule source in his body had all been suppressed by Ye Qingxuan.

Even his thinking had been imprisoned by the power of the Five Elements rules.

Although he could still receive information from the outside world, he could only passively accept all this.

Not only that, in his perception.

The spiritual power and rules in his spiritual power virtual realm were being extracted bit by bit by Ye Qingxuan's Five Elements rules and merged into the many spiritual veins under the earth of Dongxuan City.

His current state was equivalent to Daoization slowed down by thousands of times. He could only watch his spiritual power, rules, and even vitality slowly pass away, but could do nothing.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan just postponed the time of Xue Yu's death, and by the way, used Xue Yu's remaining value to deter those Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in Star Fall Province who had different intentions.

On a plain in Star Fall Province.

Bai Shuqing's spiritual sense surged, instantly imprisoning several fleeing cultivators, and then looked in the direction these cultivators were fleeing.

Looking at the huge city not far away, a sneer appeared on the corner of Bai Shuqing's mouth.

"Dongxuan Envoy, spare our lives, we won't dare again."

Pausing for a moment, seeing no one come out to stop him, Bai Shuqing felt a bit disappointed.

Ignoring the begging for mercy of these cultivators, Bai Shuqing wiped out these cultivators casually, and then fled toward another direction.

These cultivators he killed were among those who spread rumors in Dongxuan City before.

Star Fall City, Xing Zejun looked at Bai Shuqing's departing figure with a gloomy face, and said unwillingly to an old man not far in front of him:

"Ancestor, are we just going to let Bai Shuqing kill the cultivators of our Star Fall City?"

That's right, among the forces that secretly spread rumors in Dongxuan City before, Star Fall City was involved, and the old man in front of Xing Zejun was the ancestor of Star Fall City who had recently returned from the Eastern Region, Xing Konghao, a powerhouse at the late stage of the Void Penetration Realm.

It was precisely because of the return of this ancestor that Xing Zejun gained confidence and wanted to win back the title of the first city in Star Fall Province for Star Fall City.

Looking at the unwilling Xing Zejun, Xing Konghao asked back: "Didn't you sense the rule fluctuations coming from the direction of Dongxuan City not long ago?"

"I sensed it? Is there any problem?"

Hearing his ancestor's words, a look of confusion appeared in Xing Zejun's eyes.

Because Ye Qingxuan took action too fast, although Xing Zejun, with his cultivation base at the early stage of the Void Penetration Realm, sensed the rule fluctuations, he did not clearly sense the intensity of this rule fluctuation.

So when facing Xing Konghao's counter-question, he showed a look of confusion.

Looking at Xing Zejun's confused look, Xing Konghao was silent for a moment, then looked at the direction of Dongxuan City and said indifferently: "That is the rule fluctuation of the Void Meditation Realm!"

"Void Meditation Realm?"

Hearing this, Xing Zejun exclaimed, and then asked his ancestor: "Ancestor, do you mean that the Dongxuan City Lord is a powerhouse of the Void Meditation Realm?"

Xing Konghao nodded slightly: "That's right!"

However, it seemed that he was afraid that Xing Zejun would lose confidence, so Xing Konghao continued:

"But don't worry, this Dongxuan City Lord is unwilling to go to other provinces to develop, so sooner or later, his cultivation base will be surpassed by this ancestor."

However, after hearing Xing Konghao's words, Xing Zejun was a bit puzzled: "Ancestor, the wormhole passage cannot allow Void Meditation Realm cultivators to pass, so the Dongxuan City Lord staying in Star Fall Province doesn't seem to have any impact on his cultivation?"

"In that case, Ancestor, how can you surpass the Dongxuan City Lord's cultivation base?"

Hearing this, Xing Konghao took a deep breath, turned his head and glared at Xing Zejun: "You have talked a bit too much today."

After speaking, Xing Konghao immediately flicked his sleeves and left.
