"hiss--"

The vulture first licked the spot where its feathers had been cut off, and new feathers quickly grew back there. Then it hissed at Chen Xuan.

Clearly, it was furious that Chen Xuan was blocking its way.

Chen Xuan, however, was not going to tolerate it and said, "You're not convinced, are you? Then I'll beat you until you submit."

Whoosh!

With a single strike, the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword in his hand unleashed its sword energy across the sky.

The terrifying sword energy instantly made the vulture's hair stand on end. It immediately tried to dodge, but although it was fast, Chen Xuan's sword was even faster!

puff!

In the blink of an eye, he severed one of the vulture's wings, and bright red blood instantly splattered into the sky.

"If you're still not convinced, the next sword strike will be your head!"

Chen Xuan spoke coldly.

In fact, even without using the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword, he could easily defeat this vulture, which was at the level of an emperor.

However, doing that would take some effort, while using the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword would be fast, accurate, and ruthless, saving time and effort.

The Xuanyu region is full of dangers and uncertainties, so saving time is something that should not be wasted.

Seeing how sharp the sword in Chen Xuan's hand was, Vulture was immediately frightened, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Tell me, what's ahead? Why are you afraid and hesitant to fly any further?"

Chen Xuan asked calmly.

The vulture shrank its neck, seemingly wanting to fly away, but was intimidated by the sword in Chen Xuan's hand, leaving it in a dilemma.

"You don't want to talk about it?"

Chen Xuan showed signs of impatience.

Beings that have reached the level of Great Emperors are not fools. Even if they cannot speak, they can transmit their consciousness using divine thought without any problem.

But this vulture, now, is like a fool, cowering in fear.

Chen Xuan gripped his sword tighter, preparing to make his move.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not make things difficult for my spirit pet."

Just then, a sudden voice entered Chen Xuan's ears.

"Who is speaking?"

Chen Xuan immediately looked around, quite surprised. Besides him, the Emperor of Fengdu, and the vulture, there was a fourth living being here?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, at the edge of the sky, a figure appeared here from the distant other side in a few flashes.

This was a handsome young man, about 1.8 meters tall, with fair skin. He wore a plain red robe, which looked ordinary, but his handsome face was unforgettable.

He wore a jade pendant at his waist and carried a red gourd a full meter long on his back. It was unclear what was inside the gourd. Instead of having flowing long hair, he sported a handsome and capable wolf tail.

Overall, it exudes a youthful vibe.

"Eek—"

As soon as the vulture saw the young man appear, it immediately nuzzled close to him affectionately, making soft whimpering sounds, as if it had suffered a great injustice.

"It's alright, don't be afraid, I'm here."

The young man reached out and gently touched the vulture's head, revealing a sunny smile.

His hands had long, slender fingers with distinct joints. Not only was his appearance handsome, but his hands were also as if they had been sculpted by the heavens, with every inch of his skin being extremely delicate.

"Where did this pretty boy come from?"

The Emperor of Fengdu raised his eyebrows; this suddenly appearing fellow gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"Who are you?"

Chen Xuan asked in surprise.

To be honest, the other person's face was the most exquisite he had ever seen, so beautiful that it transcended gender; she would be wonderful as either a man or a woman.

But his voice is male!

Furthermore, Chen Xuan noticed the Adam's apple on his throat, and all signs indicated that he was a man.

"Fellow Daoists, you're not from around here, are you?"

The young man did not immediately reveal his identity, but instead looked at Chen Xuan and the Emperor of Fengdu with a smile.

"You're not from around here either, are you?"

Chen Xuan spoke because he couldn't sense even the slightest trace of decay emanating from the person in front of him.

So far, all the creatures they have seen in the Xuan Domain have an aura of decay.

On the contrary, this young man gave Chen Xuan a special aura of holiness.

Chen Xuan had never seen this kind of aura before in the Yin-Yang Realm.

“I am Xuanxian, and I am indeed not a local. I am from the Xuan Realm.”

"This vulture is a spirit pet that I adopted in the Xuan Domain. I implore you two fellow Daoists to be lenient."

The young man clasped his hands in a fist salute and spoke. His voice was magnetic and sounded gentle, as calm as water.

Just by looking at the voice, it's easy to feel a good impression; and then looking at the face, it's even easier to feel close to the person.

Some people are born with a special magnetic field that makes them easy to get along with.

"Xuanxian? That's quite a grand name you've chosen. Aren't you afraid that your destiny isn't strong enough to bear such a name?"

The Emperor of Fengdu revealed a meaningful expression.

The stronger a person is, the more cautious they are, and they will not easily add the character "仙" (xian, meaning immortal) to their name.

Moreover, Xuanxian is a person from the Xuan Realm.

He named himself Xuanxian, an immortal from the Xuan Realm?

This name is like a name given in the divine realm, such as "God Lord," the ruler of the divine realm.

Who among ordinary people is worthy of this name?

The words of the Emperor of Fengdu were somewhat impolite and offensive.

An ordinary person would probably be angry upon hearing this.

However, Xuanxian smiled nonchalantly and said:

"My name was given to me by my father. As for whether my destiny is strong or not, I've lived to this age and so far, there haven't been any problems."

"By the way, fellow Daoists, you still haven't answered me where I come from?"

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

In the past, Chen Xuan would have definitely made up a place; he might even have said that he came from the realm of gods.

However, for some reason, the person in front of him named Xuanxian gave Chen Xuan a special sense of closeness, making him subconsciously feel that this person might be a reliable one.

Although one should be cautious when traveling, Chen Xuan for some reason did not want to deceive him.

After a moment of silence, he said, "We come from the realm of Yin and Yang."

"The Yin-Yang Realm?"

Xuanxian was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect that you two fellow Daoists would come from this place."

Chen Xuan immediately looked surprised: "What? You know a lot about the Yin-Yang Realm?"

Xuanxian smiled and explained, "Back then, our Xuan Realm's Lord, Xuanzun, was a close friend of Shizun from the Yin-Yang Realm. Therefore, the relationship between the Xuan Realm and the Yin-Yang Realm is quite good."

"Furthermore, there have always been rumors that before the Desolate Celestial Venerable cut down the World Tree, he lived in the Yin-Yang Realm for a period of time."

"After leaving the Yin-Yang Realm, he didn't go anywhere else; he went straight to attack the World Tree."

What he experienced in the realm between Yin and Yang remains a mystery to this day.
