With a thunderous boom, Xu Yuan, who was waiting for Jiang Yuan to be killed, was struck squarely in the chest with a punch. His expression went from smugness to shock, and then from shock to fear.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan's identity as a disciple in purple robes was once again recognized by the Qiankun Palace, and the longsword carrying Xu Fu's bloodline was suppressed by the God-Slaying Spear, which used the fortune of the Nine Provinces as its weapon spirit.

Even if Xu Yuan was a descendant of Xu Fu, the owner of the Epang Palace, it should be noted that the Epang Palace was merely a palace within the tomb of the military lord, and the one who truly held control was the military lord.

"What you think of as bloodline is actually useless here!"

Jiang Yuan's fist was still hanging in mid-air, but at this moment he wanted to kill him and destroy his spirit. He stared coldly at Xu Yuan and said, "Now, I will show you how powerless your so-called ancestral power is in front of me!"

What do you want to do?!

Xu Yuan, who had been blasted into a dead dog-like state, got up from the ground with a grim expression. He had not expected that this eighth-level apostle would be so powerful, almost killing him with a single punch. This was something he had not anticipated.

"I'll kill you!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, his spear slung over his shoulder, and pointed a finger at the bloodstained longsword: "Endorsement—Shatter!"

The weapon spirit skill within the purple robe was activated, and the blood-stained longsword suddenly stopped, as if it had lost all its power, before shattering into pieces to Xu Yuan's astonishment.

"Ancestor!" Xu Yuan's body trembled. He never expected that his trump card, on which he depended for survival, would be so easily shattered.

"And you!" Jiang Yuan pointed at Xu Yuan, "You represent—death!"

The Epang Palace trembled, as if considering whether to kill Xu Fu's descendant who possessed the bloodline of the Jiuli, but half a second later the Epang Palace had its answer.

Endorsements are irresistible!

"Goodbye!" Jiang Yuan looked at Xu Yuan as if he were a dead man.

"Hey kid, stop!"

The power of the endorsement was activated, but the door of the Qiankun Palace was suddenly pushed open, and then a beam of light rushed in front of Xu Yuan, blocking the power of the endorsement just as Xu Yuan was about to be strangled.

"The Spirit of the Palace!" Jiang Yuan's expression darkened. He didn't know why the Spirit of the Palace had appeared here at this time, but its help to Xu Yuan was clearly a bad omen.

"You can't kill him!" The spirit of the temple slowly appeared; it was the beam of light that blocked the weapon spirit skill.

"He wanted to kill me, and I was just politely responding!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile, but beneath the smile lay a deep killing intent.

The energy around the spirit's body fluctuated. After thinking for a while, he said, "Fine, for my sake, let him go!"

"Let him go?" Jiang Yuan adjusted his robe collar, then asked with great empathy, "What about my reputation as a purple-robed disciple?"

"The Epang Palace was left by Xu Fu. Killing his descendants here will have negative consequences!" After saying this, the spirit seemed to be thinking about something, but finally floated to Jiang Yuan's side and transmitted its voice, "Also, obtaining the elixir of immortality requires the bloodline of the Xu family!"

Jiang Yuan remained as calm as ever when he heard the second reason.

Seeing this, the spirit of the palace knew that the matter could still be negotiated, and it immediately reprimanded Xu Yuan: "As a member of the Jiuli tribe and a descendant of Xu Fu, how could you offend the purple-robed disciple! However, considering the friendship between your ancestors and the people over the past few hundred years, you can be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. You'd better decide what to do!"

“Senior, I…” Xu Yuan thought he had found a backer, so he was not too willing to bow down to Jiang Yuan.

"Don't look at me. Before, that kid would have watched my every move! But now!" Dian Ling shrugged. "I have to watch his every move!"

"Palace Spirit, I haven't settled my score with you yet, so move aside and I'll talk to you later!" Jiang Yuan already knew that Palace Spirit posed no threat to him when he activated Blood Elf, so his tone was no longer as calm as before.

"Why are you getting so angry? I was just trying to help you. You know that being is comparable to a god of death. If you hadn't lowered your stance, you might have been killed! You're not grateful, and now you're blaming me, huh?" The spirit of the palace acted as if he was about to die of anger.

"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan remained unmoved; he had his own judgment.

"Forget it, just kill this old man. I don't care whether he lives or dies!" Knowing he was in the wrong, Dian Ling decided to wash his hands of the matter and didn't even want to care about Xu Yuan's life anymore.

After all, pleasing Jiang Yuan is the most important thing right now.

"Don't kill me! I really know the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality!" Xu Yuan was truly terrified now. Even such a powerful temple spirit had to submit to Jiang Yuan, let alone him.

"This is your last chance. Otherwise, you'll have to share your secret with Meng Po!" Jiang Yuan grinned, his smile laced with ruthlessness.

"Our ancestor once conveyed the message of the Immortal Universe Treasury to the clan. At that time, the clan members analyzed our ancestor's words and guessed that our ancestor might have hidden the elixir of immortality in the Universe Treasury. The key to obtaining the elixir of immortality is the blood of our clan members!" Xu Yuan moved his body with difficulty.

"Since that's the case, I only want the elixir of immortality. As for your life, to be honest, I have no interest in it!" Jiang Yuan appeared very greedy, but he kept a close eye on the expression on the temple spirit's face.

He couldn't be sure if the target of the War God's possession was him. If it really was him, then whether it was the elixir of immortality or the twelve golden statues, they would inevitably end up in his hands.

The spirit of the palace acted normally, merely looking on with amusement.

"Okay, but I need a little time!"

Xu Yuan's answer was straightforward, without the hesitation Jiang Yuan had expected.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, calmly sheathed the God-Slaying Spear, and then stood aside to wait for Xu Yuan's performance.

Xu Yuan's face was full of flattery, but after turning around, a deep hatred appeared in his eyes. He walked straight to the center of the Qiankun Hall. After he finished reciting a complicated incantation, the Qiankun Hall showed the same power as when he summoned his ancestors.

"As the spirit of the Epang Palace, how could you not know the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality?" Jiang Yuan knew that Xu Yuan wouldn't resolve the matter so quickly, so he deliberately began to test the spirit.

The spirit of the palace shook his head and denied it, saying, "The Lord of War said that we are not allowed to interfere in the Five Elements Trial, and besides, I am not just the spirit of the Epang Palace!"

"Oh!" Jiang Yuan seemed quite interested, and while observing Xu Yuan's actions, he asked, "So you have other identities?"

"Rather than calling myself the spirit of the Epang Palace, I'd say I'm the spirit of the Tomb of the Lord of War!" The spirit smiled and continued, "Every tomb guardian is inseparable from me, and I will become their assistant until the end of their lives!"

Jiang Yuan was startled, but the spirit of the palace saw his expression and smiled, saying, "Don't be surprised, you'll understand later!"

"By the way, what about that lustful rabbit that came with me?" Jiang Yuan glanced at the closed palace door. The lustful rabbit hadn't followed him in, and he couldn't help but worry about its safety.

"Don't worry, the little celestial body has received an incredible blessing. It might become your right-hand man in the future!" The spirit of the palace revealed a lecherous expression.

"As long as he's not dead!" Jiang Yuan felt a little relieved. He followed Xu Yuan's gaze and asked the spirit again, "Do you know what the Blood Elves are all about?"

"Blood Elves, what else could it be but slaughter!"
