Chapter 174: Human World

The surrounding consciousness froze for an instant, and Xiang Yufei stared at Jiang Xuan as if looking at a monster.

He had originally thought Jiang Xuan had merely defeated the other party, not that he could truly kill Wang Teng!

Previously, when he and Wang Teng fought, they had probed each other's details; fighting to the end, they could barely manage mutual destruction, and even if one side luckily won, the other would surely be severely injured, so Xiang Yufei had accurately judged Wang Teng's strength.

Although merely a peak Immortal Second Great Power, the other party had life-saving means even against a Saint Realm expert, and even a chance to slay a Saint—this was the North Emperor Wang Teng.

The appearance of a young generation member who could defeat Wang Teng had already surprised him greatly; now this handsome youth told him Wang Teng was dead? Even Wang Family Head Wang Chengkun and eight Wang Family Great Powers were dead?

His first thought was disbelief; in this era where Saints did not appear, Wang Teng had almost been walking sideways.

"Brother, surely you are joking! Wang Teng's strength rivals a Saint!" A voice carrying suppressed pressure came from the Void.

Jiang Xuan's aura gradually collected; a carriage appeared on a relatively intact clearing, with Yao Xi and Zixia looking worried on their faces, responding nonchalantly.

"Whether it's a joke or not, you can go ask the Wang Family yourself and find out."

Hearing this, the probing gazes mostly disappeared, with only a few people casting their eyes on the two women who had appeared.

Xiang Yufei cupped his hands and disappeared into the sky, leaving only his voice echoing through the sky: "Brother, let me go to the Wang Family to mock them first!"

"I say, why do these two fairies look so familiar? Aren't they the two direct disciples of the Yaochi Holy Mother of the Yaochi Holy Land?" A lewd voice revealed the two women's identities.

The surrounding gazes carefully sized up the two women, confirming their identities.

The lewd voice sounded again: "I heard Yao Xi admitted seven years ago that she was that Eastern Wasteland Jiang Xuan's Dao Companion; unexpectedly now she is pulling the Zifu Saintess of the Innate Dao Body to serve him together!"

Jiang Xuan slightly raised his brow, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his consciousness probed along the sound, but it dissipated upon tracing a stretch of space; the voice seemed to come from within the Void.

"Jiang Xuan! You are Jiang Xuan, the peerless Heaven's Pride of Eastern Wasteland who has been missing for years!"

With that lewd voice's reminder, someone finally recognized Jiang Xuan.

Seven years ago, Jiang Xuan used his body to withstand the Innate Dao Diagram, helping the Saint Body continue its severed path, stepping into the Four Extremes and crushing the young talents of Eastern Wasteland; even Yaoguang Shengzi could only barely confront him, being crushed by the Saint Body.

And as Jiang Xuan swept all the way, stepping into the Central Region, crushing Wang Teng's soul, killing Wang Teng's brother, this also made Jiang Xuan even more famous.

But Jiang Xuan had vanished for so long that discussions about him on the Northern Dipper grew lower and lower, but now those who recognized him were few and far between.

But with someone pointing it out, many still recognized Jiang Xuan, and their gazes once again all fell on Jiang Xuan.

At this moment, between Jiang Xuan's eyes, yin and yang circulated; countless Rule Powers appeared before his eyes, connecting the Void from the gap in his surveillance.

He revealed a cold smile, his consciousness silently integrating into the Void; with the Concealment Authority's blessing, the other party did not notice his gaze, seeing a thread of divine soul that made the lewd sound.

After recognizing Jiang Xuan, he had already received the other party's thoughts.

This lewd man came from the Human World; this time, the Human World's purpose was to flatter Zi Tiandou, to see if they could latch onto the Ancient Royal Family's line.

And the Beiyuan Wang Family had heard they also had some cooperation with the Ancient Royal Family, so after discovering Jiang Xuan might have killed Wang Teng, their first thought was to expose Jiang Xuan's identity, drawing Ye Fan's enemies to come for revenge.

Jiang Xuan still remembered this Human World.

As one of the Three Great Dynasties, the Human World joined hands with Hell to destroy the Heavenly Court, and the Human World was undoubtedly the most spineless force among the Three Great Dynasties.

After the Heavenly Court's destruction, it had always maintained a lewd and low profile; and after the Ancient Royal Family emerged, it immediately chose to take refuge with the Ancient Royal Family.

Jiang Xuan did not want to meddle in the Three Great Assassin Dynasties' affairs; since Ye Fan had inherited the Heavenly Court, he would rebuild the Heavenly Court in the future, so these two forces were experience packages for Ye Fan after rebuilding the Heavenly Court.

As long as the Two Great Assassin Dynasties did not come to provoke him, he was too lazy to care about them.

But those who delivered themselves to the door did not count!

"Just relying on you, a latecomer, you dare to oppose the Ancient Clan; since you offended the Wang Family, letting you be pit to death as a token of joining is just right!"

The lewd man wore indifference on his face, as if he had never taken Jiang Xuan to heart.

Their Human World's Hidden Trace Divine Technique—even Saints dared to be assassinated, let alone this youth.

Although he could not see through the other party's strength, a little brat in his twenties—how could he possibly have Saint cultivation? He must be relying on some Holy Weapon to conceal his cultivation.

Such a thing should not appear in Jiang Xuan's hands! If he had such a Holy Weapon, letting him go assassinate a Saint would be simply easy.

Just as thoughts flashed through his mind, in reality Jiang Xuan raised his head to look toward him in the direction of the Void, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing this smile, the man's expression tightened; from the bottom of his heart, intense fear surged uncontrollably, almost making him unable to breathe for an instant.

But seeing Jiang Xuan make no further move, the man finally exhaled the breath he had been holding.

"Damn it! What's there to be afraid of? Can that little bastard penetrate the Void to see you!"

The next second, Jiang Xuan's voice sounded in his ear: "The abacus in your heart is too noisy for me!"

"Boom!"

The mental pressure poured down from the sky like a river flowing backward; in just an instant it crushed his consciousness, countless twisted and chaotic sounds roared in his mind, making him unable to help but want to cut off his own head to see what was inside.

At the same time, the man's body was as if kicked by the Void, appearing above that space, and fell to the ground.

Immediately followed by a sky-piercing wail, making listeners unable to help but feel fear rise from their hearts.

Jiang Xuan waved his hand to eliminate the sounds by the two women's ears, so they wouldn't be annoyed hearing them.

Accompanied by endless screams, the man's divine sense appeared in the air out of nowhere; the screams from his soul made the probing gazes around feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

That soul was originally still human-shaped; with the wanton tearing and scratching, the soul gradually twisted and mutated; countless eyes radiating greed and malice emerged from all parts of the body.

"Please, give me a quick death! Please!" The hoarse roar no longer had that lewd quality, but instead revealed a deep resolve to die.

Jiang Xuan coldly watched the other party; this was his first time using the corruption ability absorbed by the Furnace Fire Black Flame.

The Furnace Fire had fused the pollution from beneath the Chaos Sea, the Desire Transformation Authority of the Fallen Mother Goddess, the pollution powers of various Old Ones, and all the powers of the Fallen Mother Nest.

Such pollution was difficult even for a Great Sage to resist!

Watching the soul become increasingly rotten and mutated, while enduring pain, its aura became increasingly powerful, frenzied, and full of pollution.

The owners of the surrounding consciousnesses couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

They had never seen such a scene; shouldn't such an evil art only be brought out by the Demonic Path?

For a while, another batch of gazes left due to fear.

The soul in the sky finally stopped wailing; its twisted body lay on all fours, dozens of eyes crowded together on its face, with only endless frenzy in its eyes.

"Isn't the Heavenly Dao coming out to work? No matter how you look at it, this thing shouldn't appear in this world, right?" Jiang Xuan looked up at the sky.

Meeting his gaze was the Heavenly Dao Eye that had just appeared; after the sky-covering Heavenly Dao Eye appeared, the first thing it looked at was not the tortured and twisted soul body, but Jiang Xuan who was looking for him.

The Heavenly Dao conveyed an angry emotion, as if telling him not to pollute others with that energy again.

Jiang Xuan looked down at the twisted soul preparing to act, and the next second the light of the Heavenly Dao Eye fell upon that soul body.

The soul body dissipated as if wiped away, and the eerie, polluted, rotten aura vanished along with it.

The Heavenly Dao Eye slowly disappeared, and Jiang Xuan received another very interesting warning.

The general meaning of the Heavenly Dao was: he could kill using abilities not native to this plane, but could not pollute others' energy with the energy rules of other worlds.

If an ordinary person received this news, they might think the Heavenly Dao was merely avoiding planar energy loss.

But Jiang Xuan knew the future situation of the Zhetian Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao had already begun plotting to harvest cultivator energy to sustain itself; truly, Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.

Not letting him pollute other cultivators now was to absorb the energy of those dead cultivators.

As his thoughts circulated, the Heavenly Dao Eye had already dissipated in the air, and the probing gazes around also vanished at the same time.

The Heavenly Dao Eye was not something they could touch or provoke; they did not want to suffer unwarranted heavenly tribulation judgment just out of curiosity.

What the Heavenly Dao would be like in the future had little to do with Jiang Xuan; before that, he first had to resolve the greatest dark turmoil in history, ascend to the Immortal Realm to help the Wushi Great Emperor cleanse the Immortal Realm, resolve the Ancestral Fiends of the Supreme Plains, and reach above the Sacrificial Dao before having the strength to touch the Heavenly Dao.

Worrying about these now was meaningless.

Turning his head, he saw Yao Xi and the other looking at him with worried faces.

"Jiang Xuan, have you really started cultivating an evil path art?" Zixia's willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly, her heart full of concern.

Evil path arts are evil because although growth is fast, the side effects are equally great; most evil paths either train one's body into neither human nor ghost, or make one's soul increasingly twisted and mad.

Now it seemed Jiang Xuan's cultivation level grew so fast, and his body showed no problems. Could his soul have begun to mutate?

This also made Yao Xi think of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art he had extorted; could Jiang Xuan's previous closed-door cultivation have been gradually practicing this evil art?

Thinking thus, Yao Xi only felt a headache, and looking up saw Jiang Xuan looking at her with a half-smile:

"What are you thinking! I already said I walk a self-created path; it's impossible to gradually practice existing arts!"

Yao Xi rubbed her head and glared, suddenly realizing this matter, indicating Jiang Xuan could not possibly cultivate the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.

She understood; the path Jiang Xuan walked himself was actually the path of the demonic way!!

She absolutely could not spread this news. Otherwise Jiang Xuan would have the entire world as enemies! Countless people claiming to be of the righteous path would come to try to kill Jiang Xuan to prove the Dao.

"Enough! Don't think nonsense. This ability is just an effect achieved by relying on Great Saint Artifact soldier souls, and has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Xuan explained.

The two women nodded fiercely; regarding Jiang Xuan's words, they both believed them deeply, whether it was an evil path art or a Holy Soldier ability did not hinder their devotion to him.

"Let's go, that giant city ahead should be lively now!" Jiang Xuan lifted the carriage curtain and performed a standard gentleman's salute of the Mysterious World.

Yao Xi had never seen this hat-tipping salute, let alone Jiang Xuan saluting them, making her, who found it hard to truly believe in love, tremble in her heart.

As the former Shaking Light Holy Maiden, she had seen too much betrayal and discrimination; the darkness of human hearts was nothing but normal to her.

This also made her appear charming on the surface while her inner heart became increasingly closed off.

But Jiang Xuan was different; he was ruthless toward enemies, yet treated everyone equally, even ordinary people were no exception.

Holding her captive for so long yet never forcing her to do anything, that phrase "try to believe me" back then made her truly feel that her devotion to Jiang Xuan was not wrong, and that her infatuation and trust brought not betrayal.

Now seeing Jiang Xuan holding the carriage curtain and saluting them, she truly felt a kind of respect, a sincere respect, not a show.

Looking at the serious Jiang Xuan, Yao Xi no longer acted charming, but revealed a pure and innocent smile, with a glow in her eyes that made people dare not profane that pure side.

Zixia beside her was even more pure; having felt emotion, she had long since uncontrollably fallen in love with Jiang Xuan, and at this moment only felt inexplicably delighted.

The smile on her face was even more pure and warm, like a fairy fallen into the mortal world, elegant.

The two women entered the carriage front and back, and Jiang Xuan also strode in; outside, several Heavenly Horses, as if receiving news, roared toward the sky and soared up.

No longer suppressed, the Heavenly Horses strode forward and charged toward that giant city at extreme speed.

In the carriage, Jiang Xuan saw the seat the two women had tacitly left for him in the middle, hehe-he laughed and sat in the middle.

Feeling his not-so-honest hand, Yao Xi lightly grabbed him, leaning forward, her warm lips like warm jade imprinting on his face.

Seeing Yao Xi pull back to retreat, how could Jiang Xuan let her flirt and then escape; he pulled her into his arms, and their lips met.

Zixia beside her blushed, turned her head to the side, and occasionally sneaked back to look.

A kiss until the end of time, until Yao Xi's body had softened, going limp like boneless in Jiang Xuan's arms, this kiss finally ended.

"Zhuque City forbids walking on air; enter from below quickly!" A pressure fell upon the carriage, disrupting the atmosphere inside the carriage, and also made Zixia beside let out a breath.

Jiang Xuan raised a brow, his divine sense surged out, directly suppressing the other party to the ground; he came to Zhuque City not to follow rules.

Without obstruction, Jiang Xuan had already sat on the driver's seat gazing at the distant sky, letting the Heavenly Horses recklessly charge into Zhuque City, drawing countless gazes to the Heavenly Horses treading upon heaven.

Inside the carriage, Yao Xi looked at Zixia with a seductive expression: "Little Zixia, you peeked at us, do you also want to try?"
