At this moment, an old man appeared in front of the ordinary-looking man, stretched out a finger and pressed it against Yuan Di's yellow seal. With a forceful push, the yellow seal shattered instantly.
Yuan Di also coughed up a mouthful of blood instantly, clutching his chest as he looked at the old man.
Then the old man said to Yuan Di, "Boy, you killed the first rank of my Ziyang Holy Land, and now you want to kill the Holy Son of my Ziyang Holy Land. Your bloodlust is so strong, it seems that I cannot let you live today."
As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Yuan Di again, which then transformed into a giant purple flame that shot towards Yuan Di. Yuan Di was so overwhelmed by the old man's powerful aura that cold sweat poured down his back. He then used all his spiritual power to create a huge yellow humanoid phantom to block Yuan Di's path.
"Hmph, a useless act," the old man sneered.
Just then, a purple light appeared in front of Yuan Di and collided with the giant purple flame finger. The resulting energy surge overturned all the surrounding mounts and benches, and the entire restaurant began to shake.
"Who?" the old man said coldly.
Yuan Zhexian's figure slowly appeared beside Yuan Di, and then he said to the old man, "Senior, as a Great Sage Realm expert, isn't it a bit too much for you to take action against a junior?"
"I thought it was that old guy who came out, but it turns out to be another reckless brat. What is your intention in blocking my killing of this person?"
"What do you mean? You want to kill my people, and I came out to stop you. Do you have a problem with that?" Yuan Zhexian said indifferently, not taking this Great Sage seriously at all.
Then Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian and their entourage also appeared beside Yuan Zhexian.
"So you're all together. Then you can travel together with this person." After saying this, the old man prepared to cast a secret spell.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian closed his eyes and then opened them again, revealing double pupils as bright as stars.
The old man, who was about to unleash his secret technique, was shocked when he saw Yuan Zhexian's double pupils and exclaimed, "Double pupils... You are the divine son of the Yuan clan?"
Yuan Zhexian remained silent, and his double pupils began to emit a purple light.
The old man quickly said, "Yuanshenzi, wait, it's all a misunderstanding."
Yuan Zhexian still didn't say how long he could live, and then the old man, his face covered in cold sweat, said again, "Yuan Shenzi, is there any room for negotiation?"
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian spoke up, saying, "You and that person will perish here, or your Ziyang Holy Land will be destroyed. Choose one."
The old man, upon hearing this, closed his eyes in sorrow. Then, he opened his eyes, sighed, and said to Yuan Zhexian, "I hope that Yuan Shenzi can keep his promise."
Then he glared fiercely at the ordinary-looking man. The ordinary-looking man was now pale with fright, trembling uncontrollably. He said to the old man, "I'm still so young... Elder, I don't want to die... I don't want to die!"
Then the old man said to the ordinary-looking man, "As the Holy Son of the Ziyang Holy Land, you must always be ready to give and sacrifice for the Holy Land. It is better for the two of us to die than for the entire Ziyang Holy Land to be destroyed. At least I, a Great Saint Realm expert, will accompany you. You go first."
As he spoke, amidst the terrified gaze of the ordinary-looking man, the old man unleashed a ball of purple flame, instantly incinerating him without leaving a trace. He then glanced at Yuan Zhexian, and using his own spiritual power, his body also burst into purple flames. Moments later, this Great Saint Realm expert from the Purple Sun Holy Land, under the terrifying prestige of the Yuan Clan, chose to end his own life and turn to ashes in order to preserve the Purple Sun Holy Land's legacy.
Yuan Zhexian remained calm, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him. Then, with a wave of his hand, a sacred pill appeared in the air and transformed into a wisp of spiritual energy, entering Yuan Di's body.
Yuan Di bowed and said, "Thank you, Divine Child."
Then Yuan Zhexian smiled and said, "Take care of yourself as soon as possible, there's not much time left before the Divine Source Secret Realm opens."
Yuan Di immediately replied, "Yes, Divine Child, I will go back and recuperate properly."
Another day passed, and Yuan Zhexian was incredibly bored in his room. His grandfather had told him to wait for them there, but now Yuan Xun and the others were nowhere to be found. At that moment, Yuan Ruochu and Ji Jingtian arrived at Yuan Zhexian's room.
"Isn't it too boring for the Divine Child to stay in his room all day? We don't know where the Ancestor and the others have gone. Why don't we go out for a stroll? I heard there are many jade gambling sites around here. Let's go take a look," Yuan Ruochu said to Yuan Zhexian.
When Yuan Ruochu said this, Yuan Zhexian thought it made sense and agreed with what they said. Afterwards, apart from the eight major sequences who were cultivating and Yuan Di who was recuperating, everyone else went out with Yuan Zhexian.
Walking along the bustling streets and looking at the vendors hawking their wares everywhere, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but think that the prosperity of Guyuan City was no less than that of his own Yuan clan's Tianyuan City and Yu clan's Tianyu City.
"My God, where should we go first?" Yuan Yan'er asked.
"Go to the largest restaurant in Guyuan City. That should be the most bustling place and the best place to gather information," Yuan Zhexian replied immediately.
Guyuanlou is the largest restaurant in Guyuan City and also an industry of the Guyuan Holy Land.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian and his seven companions sat around a luxurious dining table, gazing at the distant scenery, enjoying delicious food, and listening to the people around them discussing recent events.
"Have you heard? This time, even the Thunder Swamp, one of the Ten Lands, will be going to the Divine Source Secret Realm. Someone saw a terrifyingly huge thunder beast fly out of the Thunder Swamp, and on the thunder beast stood a group of people exuding powerful auras." The people at the next table of Yuan Zhexian were talking loudly.
"Your information is a bit outdated. It's not just the Thunder Swamp; I've heard that people from all ten regions will be heading to the Divine Origin Secret Realm," another person said.
"According to our Holy Land's ancestor, the disciples from the Ten Lands who went this time are all extremely powerful, almost the most powerful group of people in countless eras across the Ten Lands," another person said.
"I wonder if any of the geniuses and prodigies of our Nine Heavens can stop the successor of the Ten Lands this time," another person sighed.
"Of course there are. I heard that many hidden forces will be going this time, such as Tai Shi Tian, and the Sword Sect and Sword Gate will go."
"Sword Sect, Sword Gate?" Not only the people at their table, but even Yuan Zhexian and his companions had never heard of the entire sect.
The man then said, "According to my ancestor, the strongest sect on the surface in Tai Shi Heaven is the Sword Sect. In fact, within the Sword Sect, there is an even more mysterious faction, the Sword Clan. The sect has extremely few disciples, currently only two. One of them is Sword Master Jian Wushuang of the Sword Clan. As for the other one, we still don't know."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Yuan Zhexian was utterly shocked. They hadn't expected that there was an even more powerful sword sect within the Sword Sect. At this moment, Xiao Wangchuan was trembling all over—a trembling of excitement.
