15: Chapter 15 A Brief Moment of Warmth

Commander An Ran fell to the ground, pointing his finger at Ye Xuan in disbelief: "You..."

"Impossible, I clearly consumed the Spirit Breaking Pill and entered the Spirit Profound Realm. How could you, someone who hasn't even reached the Spirit Profound Realm, a mere True Profound Realm cultivator, be my match!"

"Spirit Profound Realm? You consider this Lingxuan? Your foundation is unstable; I fear even a slightly stronger seventh-stage True Profound Realm cultivator could crush you!" Ye Xuan chuckled, his words filled with disdain: "I barely exerted myself, and you are already severely injured."

"This time, I will use thirty percent of my strength to send you on your way!"

Ye Xuan's Mystic Power was surging as he once again slashed out with the moon spirit sword.

Before Commander An Ran's vision plunged into darkness, he only saw his own fallen body. With his last bit of strength, he said viciously: "Just wait, the An Family will not let you go."

"Then you can just wait in hell."

As for Feng Xueni, Ye Xuan had covered her eyes early on; after all, it was not suitable for children to see such a bloody scene.

A scene of devastation.

"Big Brother Ye, they..." Feng Xueni unexpectedly did not vomit.

"Xueni, do you think Big Brother was right to kill them?"

Ye Xuan suddenly looked at Feng Xueni, the hand holding the moon spirit sword trembling slightly.

It was his first time killing since arriving in this world.

"Xueni only cares about her own people. Big Brother Ye, are you okay!" Feng Xueni shook her head vigorously and took a handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiping the bloodstains from Ye Xuan's hand: "They were all people who deserved to die."

Then, Feng Xueni picked up Ye Xuan's moon spirit sword and used water to clean the blood off it.

"Thank you, Xueni."

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, then snapped back to reality and gently stroked the little head of the beauty before him.

Having lived two lives, what was wrong with killing a few shameless scoundrels?

"Let's go."

Ye Xuan dared not linger. He casually started a fire to clear the traces of Commander An Ran and the others from the ground.

Even if the An Family wanted to investigate, it would take time.

By then, Ye Xuan would have already spread his wings and would not fear the An Family's search.

"Big Brother Ye, this is the first time Xueni has traveled far from home."

"Is that so? Then I am truly honored."

"What is that? It looks so good!"

"It's called a Nightlight Chirper. It emits a silver glow at night. It is a common magic beast that doesn't even reach the first rank when it reaches adulthood."

...

The journey was filled with laughter and whispers.

In the Magic Beast Forest, where dangers lurked at night, a campfire burned in a narrow cave blocked by rocks. Several fat rabbits were skewered above it, sizzling as they were roasted by the flames.

Ye Xuan and Feng Xueni sat together, leaning against the campfire for warmth.

The firelight in the darkness seemed exceptionally warm.

"Gurgle, gurgle—"

Suddenly, a strange sound broke the silence.

Feng Xueni's little face turned red, and she said shyly: "Big Brother Ye, it wasn't Xueni!"

"Of course I know it wasn't Xueni."

Ye Xuan smiled, took a seasoned roasted rabbit from the fire, and handed it to Feng Xueni.

"Wu—"

Feng Xueni became even shyer, but she still reached out to take the roasted rabbit, then carefully put it into her lips and tasted it gently.

"Wow, Big Brother Ye, the rabbit you roasted is just too delicious."

The little girl ate very quietly, tasting the roasted rabbit in her hand bit by bit.

"That goes without saying. You've never eaten such delicious roasted rabbit before, have you?" Ye Xuan smiled, took another roasted rabbit from the fire, and tasted it carefully: "Hmm, not bad, though the heat was a bit off. It needs a larger fire to be even better."

After being kicked out of the Outer Sect dwelling three years ago, Ye Xuan had to fend for himself. In his spare time, he had found the same seasonings from his previous life.

However, seeing the future Phoenix Empress turn into a little fan girl craving roasted rabbit, it was somewhat interesting.

Just half an hour later, eight out of the ten roasted rabbits had entered Feng Xueni's little belly.

"Silly girl, put this on."

After tidying up, Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then took off his Flame Spirit Armor and placed it in Feng Xueni's hands: "In a while, after we enter Danri Cliff, it might be very dangerous. You must be extremely careful. Without it, I won't be at ease for you."

"Mm." Feng Xueni looked at Ye Xuan's solemn expression and did not refuse. Although she was a bit shy in her heart, she quickly put on the Flame Spirit Armor.

An endless half-cliff appeared before the two of them.

The bottomless abyss and the thousands of miles of black forest emitted waves of baleful aura like a hellish abyss, making one awe-struck.

The night added even more gloom to this place.

Even a Spirit Profound Realm cultivator would be severely injured, if not killed, if they fell down carelessly.

"I heard my grandfather talk about this place before. Danri Cliff is a relic left behind by two super powerhouses who fought here." Feng Xueni shared the information she knew.

"That has a certain degree of credibility, but as for what they were fighting over, that's hard to say."

Ye Xuan's mouth curled up upon hearing this. Perhaps those two super powerhouses fought precisely to investigate this place, and as for why they didn't succeed in the end, it was probably just that the opportunity hadn't arrived yet.

To be able to easily create such a battlefield, the cultivation of these two super powerhouses was likely close to the Saint Realm.

Ye Xuan took a special spirit rope from his spirit ring, then found a sturdy Green Cloud pine tree and wrapped it tightly several times.

"Silly girl, don't wander around later. I've left some precautions here that are enough to protect you. Do you understand?"

Ye Xuan solemnly instructed Feng Xueni.

"Big Brother Ye, you will definitely be fine!" Feng Xueni looked at Ye Xuan very seriously.

Big Brother Ye was so powerful; he had solved those bad guys in an instant, so how could he fail here?

Feng Xueni didn't believe it.

"Hahaha, with the silly girl's blessing, Big Brother Ye will definitely succeed." Ye Xuan smiled and pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks, then took advantage of the momentum to rush down the cliff.

It was incredibly steep. Even with Mystic Power covering his feet, it was difficult to maintain stillness. Ye Xuan perceived the situation under the cliff with his divine sense while rushing downward.

Forty miles... fifty miles... one hundred miles. Having gone down a full hundred miles, Ye Xuan searched the vicinity five times. Finally, gritting his teeth, he leaped downward again. The spirit rope had reached its end, but fortunately, he had found his destination.

When his divine sense swept that area, it was instantly swallowed.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, untied the spirit rope, and urged the Mystic Power in his body to leap forcefully in that direction. A feeling of trance reflected in his heart.

Was there solid ground under his feet? He hadn't fallen!?

Ye Xuan was shocked and carefully inspected the true situation nearby to see what was going on.

A mysterious white space.

In the middle was a white jade throne with a skeleton sitting on it, holding a seven-foot-long sword in its hand. Although it had been gone for unknown years, the pressure surrounding it made people tremble.

A memory from the mysterious space was transmitted into the depths of Ye Xuan's mind.

Above the Magic Beast Forest.

Two Saint Realm middle-aged powerhouses were dueling an old man. In just a breath, the forest for ten thousand miles was instantly destroyed.

"Saint Xuanye, why bother? Hand over the supreme treasure, and we can retreat right now!"

"In your dreams!" The old man roared and charged forward again, wielding his sword.

"Heh, then let that supreme treasure be buried here forever along with you, old ghost!"

"Impossible, how do you still have a backup plan, you old ghost... Ah..."

Above the ten-thousand-mile sky, the two middle-aged powerhouses were slashed to death by the old man's sword.

The old man was also severely injured because of this and passed away here five months later.
