The next day, in Shenlong City.
At the City Lord's mansion.
"City Lord, someone from the Shangguan family is here to see you."
Lohan Shan approached, bowing respectfully and speaking.
"Hmm!?"
"The Shangguan family?"
Upon hearing Lohan Shan's words, Ye Xuan paused slightly. Someone from the Shangguan family had just had a conflict with Xiao Cai yesterday, and now someone was already here. "Let them in."
After a moment of thought, Ye Xuan, who had nothing to do, said.
"Yes, City Lord!!"
Lohan Shan responded respectfully and then left the hall.
Not long after.
A group of four appeared outside the hall. Among them were Shangguan Haoyue and Shangguan Wan'er, as well as the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Qingcang, and Shangguan Mingye.
Shangguan Mingye entered the hall and, upon seeing Ye Xuan, smiled broadly. "You must be City Lord Ye."
"I am Shangguan Mingye, an ancestor of the Shangguan family."
"Oh."
Hearing Shangguan Mingye's words, Ye Xuan's lazy gaze fell upon him, then shifted to the Shangguan Haoyue siblings, who were lowering their heads and daring not to make a sound. "What, is it not enough to bully my woman and children, now you want to bully me?"
"Kneel down!"
Shangguan Qingcang heard the calm voice and immediately berated them.
The Shangguan Haoyue and Shangguan Wan'er siblings, who had already been scared to death, immediately knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your Excellency, please forgive us!!"
Shangguan Qingcang hurriedly spoke.
"City Lord Ye, it is all due to my poor discipline. I beg your pardon, City Lord Ye."
As the words fell, Shangguan Qingcang flipped his right hand, revealing a spatial ring. He respectfully said, "City Lord Ye, here is a spiritual medicine of 800,000 years, plus 300,000 top-grade Emperor Crystals. Consider it an apology from my two unruly children for offending the City Lord's wife and the young City Lords."
"I hope City Lord Ye will accept it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look at the spatial ring in Shangguan Qingcang's hand. A spiritual medicine of 800,000 years, it would be difficult to find a second one in the entire Galaxy Empire.
"Since you have such sincerity, I will accept it."
Ye Xuan, going with the flow, accepted the spatial ring. As for lying, it was a joke. Even if Shangguan Mingye and the others were given ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare. As for why the Shangguan family was like this, Ye Xuan had a vague guess. It was probably related to the forces behind his elder brother.
"I really don't know... what exactly is my elder brother's identity? The top ten super powers of the Galaxy Empire have come to apologize in person. This is not something an ordinary person can do."
After a few words of conversation, Shangguan Mingye, with his sharp mind, reached an agreement with Ye Xuan. Shangguan Mingye undoubtedly became a Supreme Elder of the Xuan Alliance. After all, two disciples of the Shangguan family had offended his woman and children. Being given a position as a Supreme Elder was already quite good.
Shangguan Mingye was overjoyed and grateful. Shangguan Qingcang was even more astonished. What in the world?
The old ancestor had actually sold the Shangguan family to this Ye Xuan? Even if his strength was not bad, there was no need for this. Could it be... that this Ye Xuan's identity was not simple?
A short while later.
Only Ye Xuan and Shangguan Mingye remained in the hall.
At this moment, Shangguan Mingye stood respectfully behind Ye Xuan. Upon hearing that Ye Xuan did not hold a grudge, Shangguan Mingye, in his excitement, once again contributed a million top-grade Emperor Crystals. This also improved Ye Xuan's prejudice against the Shangguan family a lot.
"By the way, Alliance Leader."
"I heard you are supporting the Third Prince, and you even sent people to protect him, right?"
Shangguan Mingye thought of something and, without Ye Xuan having to speak, said perceptively, "Alliance Leader, rest assured, the Second Prince will not be an enemy of the Alliance Leader. I will have him withdraw from the competition for the throne when I return, and simultaneously support the Third Prince to become the Crown Prince."
At this moment, Shangguan Mingye made a very wise decision. Of course, it was unknown how the ambitious Second Prince would react upon learning of this matter.
"Is that so?"
"You can decide this yourself."
Ye Xuan said indifferently. Of course, Shangguan Mingye did not think so. Did he have a choice if Ye Xuan let him decide for himself?
Afterward, Shangguan Mingye was taken by Ye Xuan to the second layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. As expected, Shangguan Mingye was shocked for a long time. When he saw Dongfang Wenren, the strongest ancestor of the Guiyuan Sect, he was greatly surprised.
He really did not expect that the Guiyuan Sect had long since become Ye Xuan's, no, the Alliance Leader's people.
"Pfft~"
Immediately after, as the two talked, Shangguan Mingye looked at Dongfang Wenren, the strongest ancestor of the Guiyuan Sect, in extreme shock. "Cough cough... Brother Wenren, you...?"
"All the ancestors of the Guiyuan Sect have joined the Xuan Alliance, and you are actually a guardian of the Xuan Alliance! This!!!"
"Bastards, those two wasteful things!" Da Feng Novel Network
Shangguan Mingye was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He knew that the Alliance Leader had only given him the position of Supreme Elder because of his two unpromising juniors. Damn it, when I get back, I'll slap them to death.
"Brother Shangguan, this time you must thank Old Ancestor Jiaguan Kong more. Otherwise... if you insist on being an enemy of the Alliance Leader, your entire Shangguan clan will be doomed."
Dongfang Wenren glanced at Shangguan Mingye. The two of them, having been contemporaries, now being in the same camp was not easy.
"Yes~"
Shangguan Mingye heard this and licked his lips. He also felt very fortunate. He knew his own temperament too well. If he had known that his disciples were publicly beaten, regardless of right or wrong, his first reaction would have been to protect the reputation of the Shangguan family. In that case, he would naturally come into conflict with the Alliance Leader. As for what would happen next.
He probably wouldn't have to wait for the Alliance Leader to make a move; Old Ancestor Jiaguan Kong and the others would have already annihilated him!
The matter of the Heavenly Serpent Hall, others might not know, but they vaguely heard rumors. This matter was most likely done by the ancestors of the Jiag family.
...
As the two talked, somewhere on the second layer of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda.
Ye Xuan, who was just one step away from the seventh-order Void Ancestor realm, could not help but break through again. After all, he had obtained a spiritual medicine of 800,000 years. He had to celebrate, right?
Flipping his right hand, a spiritual medicine of 500,000 years appeared. Undoubtedly, it was time for a small warm-up.
As expected!
Now that Ye Xuan's body had adapted to the realm, with a spiritual medicine of 500,000 years, Ye Xuan had indeed reached the seventh-order Void Ancestor realm. Then, combined with the rich energy and top-grade Emperor Crystals, he broke through again and became a peak expert of the seventh-order Void Ancestor realm.
If the outside world knew about such a breakthrough speed, they would be absolutely stunned. The hundreds of thousands of years of spiritual medicine that they feared and dreaded was actually used by Ye Xuan as nourishment for his breakthrough.
With another spiritual medicine of 500,000 years, Ye Xuan's realm entered the peak extreme of the seventh-grade Void Ancestor realm. It was clear that the medicinal effect had been reduced again.
"The medicinal effect is insufficient to continue?"
"Damn it, if the medicinal effect is not enough, then I'll make up for it with the years!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan no longer hesitated. He flipped his right hand. "Come out, spiritual medicine of 600,000 years~~"
