Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 548 - 246: Promises and Predicaments, Surrounded by Enemies (3)

In an instant, Luo Qingxian understood the thoughts and methods of Yunmo Xi. Her beautiful eyes turned completely cold, yet she smiled faintly and said, "Yunmo Xi, I know what you want, but I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I guarantee Ye Junior Brother will not be as you wish. With me, Luo Qingxian, here, the Divine Sword Sect will not abandon Ye Junior Brother, I guarantee it."

Luo Qingxian spoke with great conviction. Whether or not she could ensure it, she didn’t know, but at least at this moment, she thought so and would do her utmost to protect Ye Xiaofan.

After all, when it comes down to it, such a forbidden ancient anomaly, coupled with the Empress Inheritance, having now passed the ’Four Sword Trials’, there is no reason for the Divine Sword Sect to abandon Ye Xiaofan.

What she didn’t realize was that nothing is absolute. When a certain terrifying existence surpasses a certain boundary, it is no longer under the control of the Divine Sword Sect, and this promise, Luo Qingxian did not foresee would become a lifelong regret.

Yunmo Xi seemed as if she had already foreseen the future, looking at Luo Qingxian with full confidence and a playful expression, she said quietly, "Oh? Really? Does Sister have that much confidence? If so, then Sister will wait and see?"

As Yunmo Xi spoke, she gave a stunning smile and then slowly stepped aside, leaving a path of survival for Luo Qingxian and the others, even making a slight inviting gesture.

Everyone’s pupils narrowed slightly at this, but they didn’t hesitate and immediately broke through the air to escape.

The distance between the two parties grew further and further. Yunmo Xi and her companions quietly watched Ye Xiaofan and the others leaving, lost in their thoughts. In Yunmo Xi’s eyes, however, there seemed to be a different kind of gleam.

Although Ye Xiaofan and the others had left this world far behind, many peak representatives of rare anomalies from the Hundred Sects who were pursuing from behind were slightly stunned.

Upon seeing Yunmo Xi, all the terrifying figures that had chased down from the Heaven-Reaching Road suddenly stopped in their tracks, faces filled with dread and vigilance.

However, while being wary of that stunning figure, these people also wore faces of astonishment.

"Yunmo Xi let Ye Xiaofan go?"

Clearly, this action was intentionally done by Yunmo Xi and was meant to be seen by everyone. In this way, even if that figure does not belong to her side in the future, it will probably not be easy for them on the side of the Hundred Sects either.

Sure enough, Yunmo Xi’s act of letting Ye Xiaofan go raised doubts among many rare anomalies from the Hundred Sects. Logically, with Ye Xiaofan’s terrifying potential, there was no reason for the little Demoness of the Demon Dao to let him slip away.

Although most of the rare anomalies had guessed the thoughts of that stunning figure, even so, the Righteous Orthodox Sects dared not gamble after all. Ye Xiaofan’s current performance is unprecedented, to say the least, it is not too much to call him a forbidden ancient anomaly of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range who has never been seen before and never will again.

This frightening existence, should he truly defect to the Demon Dao, would have immeasurable consequences. Therefore, no matter what, Ye Xiaofan is now virtually being roasted on the fire between the Righteous and Demonic Dao.

One side wants to pull him in, while the other wants to control him and prevent him from defecting, as if guarding against a thief. This situation has become even more delicate.

On the other hand.

Although Luo Qingxian and the others carried Ye Xiaofan to flee frantically, they remained vigilant against Yunmo Xi and her people, not relaxing until they had truly left the ’Valley of Space-Time’ and had seen no pursuit from the other side, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

The moment more than twenty people rushed out of the ’Valley of Space-Time’, Luo Qingxian didn’t hesitate and immediately used the Magical Artifact of the pavilion and courtyard. Everyone entered inside, and the entire courtyard ascended rapidly into the sky.

Despite the large size of this courtyard pavilion, its speed in breaking through the sky was astonishing.

In that courtyard filled with endless flowers where Ye Xiaofan and Luo Qingxian first met.

Perhaps worried that the Divine Sword Sect might chill Ye Xiaofan’s heart, or perhaps fearing Yunmo Xi’s earlier words might sway him, Luo Qingxian, after a moment of thoughtful consideration, spoke earnestly with her stunning face:

"Ye Junior Brother, rest assured, trust Senior Sister, I promise you the Divine Sword Sect will never abandon you. I will never allow such a thing to happen, and neither will the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect."

Ye Xiaofan gave a knowing smile at her words and said faintly, "I trust Senior Sister."

In fact, whether he trusted or not was already unimportant. Ye Xiaofan knew better than anyone that now, he couldn’t rely on any side. Whether it was the Righteous Dao or the Demon Dao, neither was a choice he could depend on.

The only one he could rely on was Sword Saint Dugu Nan, and now Dugu Nan himself was unable to protect even himself, let alone him.

At present, Ye Xiaofan can be said to have become the most delicate existence in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region. Even without having enemies like Sword Saint and Divine Maiden Sect spread across the heavens, the Empress Inheritance was enough to make him the target of all. One wrong step, and foes would surround him.

Whether the Divine Sword Sect would go against the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range region for him, he did not know, but one thing was certain, most of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region, whether hostile or non-hostile forces, could become his enemies because of the Empress Inheritance.

Now, the only one he could rely on was himself, and the only one he trusted would be himself.

After leaving the ’Valley of Space-Time’, everyone boarded Luo Qingxian’s Magical Artifact of the courtyard pavilion and dashed away, only daring to enter the healing stage after leaving all the recently ascended rare anomalies of the Hundred Sects far behind, trying every means to recover from their injuries.

Time passed slowly, and in a flash, half a month had gone by.

On this day, half a month later.

Once everyone’s injuries had mostly recovered, Luo Qingxian retracted the Magical Artifact of the courtyard pavilion, and they switched to taking a Flying Boat, swiftly traversing the entire ’Main Battle Domain’, heading quickly towards the temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect.
