　　Slowly.
　　Xuantian Sheng landed and stood beside Ye Wushuang.
　　”Great　Mansion　Master…”
　　Ye Wushuang stepped forward with a faint smile.
　　Xuantian Sheng placed a hand on Ye Wushuang’s shoulder and whispered, “Don’t move！”
　　Huh？
　　Ye　Wushuang　froze.
　　Xuantian Sheng immediately added, “Let me lean on you for a bit, or I”ll collapse.”
　　Ye Wushuang then noticed that the cuffs of Xuan Tiansheng’s sleeves were stained with blood, soaking his inner shirt, and his face looked quite pale as well.
　　Clearly, Xuan Tiansheng’s victory over Xu Mingxiu wasn’t as effortless as it appeared on the surface.
　　”Grand Mansion Lord, can you hold on？”
　　”Even if I can’t, I have to hold on！”
　　Xuan Tiansheng said bluntly, “Didn’t you see the look in the eyes of my Xuan Tian Mansion disciples just now？ Full of supreme reverence！”
　　”You brat don’t understand, over these years, in the Central Lands, among the top figures of the Star-Plucking Realm—the overlords, sect masters, and clan leaders—Xu Mingxiu has always been number one, while I barely made the top ten. This time, I’ve really boosted my own reputation！”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
　　What kind of time is this to still care about face！
　　Soon.
　　Inside the Xuan Tian Mansion, Xuan Wenbin flew over and looked at his father, asking, “Dad, how are you？”
　　”What could possibly be wrong with me？”
　　Xuan Tiansheng laughed heartily, releasing Ye Wushuang and standing firmly, saying, “I’m definitely fine.”
　　”Dad…”
　　Xuan Wenbin couldn’t help but say sternly, “Stop pretending, don’t I know you？”
　　As he spoke, Xuan Wenbin stepped forward to support Xuan Tiansheng, then grinned and said, “Even if you defeated Xu Mingxiu and got seriously injured yourself, it still proves how amazing you are. You’ve always been my role model！”
　　”Good son！”
　　Xuan Tiansheng praised, then his body went limp and he collapsed into Xuan Wenbin’s arms.
　　Xuan Wenbin looked at Ye Wushuang and scratched his head, saying, “I don’t know when he became so vain…”
　　”No matter, what needed to be done is done.”
　　Ye Wushuang then said, “Take good care of him. Leave the rest to me.”
　　”Mm.”
　　Xuan Wenbin supported Xuan Tiansheng as they walked toward Qingxuan Dianzhu, Wu Shanyang, Luo Qinghe, and the others.
　　”Xuan Tiansheng, you”re something else！”
　　Qingxuan Dianzhu chuckled and said, “Stepping into the Virtual Soul Saint Realm really makes you different from before.”
　　Though the words were complimentary, Qingxuan Dianzhu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy in his heart.
　　Back then, they were both at the peak of the Star Transformation Realm, and Xuan Tiansheng was inferior to him.
　　But in the blink of an eye, he had only reached the Half-Step Saint Realm, while Xuan Tiansheng had become a true Saint Realm expert and even defeated Xu Mingxiu, another Saint Realm cultivator.
　　It had to be admitted—he was no longer Xuan Tiansheng’s match.
　　Xuan Tiansheng weakly replied, “It’s not that I’m so capable… it’s that kid Ye Wushuang who’s the real deal！”
　　Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
　　A peak Star Transformation Realm cultivator slaying a Virtual Soul Saint Realm expert—that was a complete defiance of the heavens！
　　Today’s battle may rewrite the history of the Tianyuan Continent, and Ye Wushuang is likely to leave his own bold and colorful mark on this history, just like Ling Shengtian！
　　……
　　Inside and outside the Lingjian Pavilion, within a radius of a hundred miles, traces of battle are everywhere, the land is devastated, and many corpses already litter the ground.
　　And the surrounding slaughter is still ongoing.
　　Ye Wushuang stepped forward one step at a time, passing through a stretch of ruins before arriving amidst a pile of scattered rocks.
　　In a rubble pit, Xu Mingxiu’s body leaned crookedly against a broken stone.
　　The flesh on his arms was torn open, bones broken, leaving them unable to lift, and on his chest was a gaping hole, looking utterly horrifying.
　　”Xu Mingxiu…”
　　Ye Wushuang came before the half-dead Xu Mingxiu.
　　Xu Mingxiu’s gaze fell on Ye Wushuang, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly： “Ye Wushuang, you… you…”
　　Mid-sentence, Xu Mingxiu gave a bitter laugh and shook his head.
　　”Didn”t expect today to come, did you？”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke： “You’ll soon reunite with your uncle underground, and then I’ll send your father to join you all.”
　　Xu Mingxiu’s face was pale as he said weakly, “Do you think you”ve already won？”
　　”Haven”t I？”
　　Ye Wushuang squatted down, looking at the face so close at hand, and couldn’t help but say： “Until now, the three great families of the Tianhuang Continent have not sent anyone to aid you. The Lingjian Pavilion’s defeat is certain. Relying solely on Xu Ziyin and Bu Baiyi, there’s no way to turn the tables！”
　　Hearing this, Xu Mingxiu shook his head with a smile, then looked at Ye Wushuang and said： “Since that’s the case, I’ve always been curious—who exactly are you?”
　　”My father and I have wondered more than once that you might be a descendant of Lingshengtian. Today, seeing how effortlessly you wield the Creation Jade Disc, it makes me even more convinced… perhaps you truly are Lingshengtian’s descendant！”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at Xu Mingxiu, shook his head, then reached out his hand, gently grabbing Xu Mingxiu by the collar and lifting him up.
　　”Mingxiu…”
　　”Huh？” Xu Mingxiu, hearing the slightly unusual tone, froze in place.
　　”I used to always wonder, if I ever came back one day, could I still try to hold you like I did when you were little？”
　　Ye Wushuang murmured as if talking to himself： “But now, it seems unlikely.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Mingxiu’s eyes widened in shock and terror, fixed on Ye Wushuang.
　　Ye Wushuang’s hand formed into a claw, his strength gradually increasing.
　　Crack　crack　crack…
　　Xu Mingxiu’s neck was gradually crushed in Ye Wushuang’s hand until, in the end, the vitality of his body completely dissipated.
　　”No！！！”
　　A low roar reverberated between heaven and earth.
　　In an instant, amidst the wind and clouds, a figure descended from the sky, crashing onto the ground with a thunderous boom.
　　Xu Ziyin’s face was now twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot, fixed intently on the young man dozens of feet away, who held the corpse of his son in his hand.
　　”Ye Wushuang！！！”
　　Xu Ziyin’s gaze was icy, his voice hoarse.
　　Whoosh…
　　At this moment, Su Chenyuan also descended from the sky, landing beside Ye Wushuang. He eyed the hostile Xu Ziyin warily, his expression vigilant.
　　When Su Chenyuan saw the corpse of Xu Mingxiu in Ye Wushuang’s hand, he was momentarily stunned. A trace of nostalgia flickered in his eyes as he sighed inwardly.
　　Xu Mingxiu was truly a young man highly regarded by the Pavilion Master and the elders back in the day.
　　Yet now, he lay dead here, a sight that couldn’t help but evoke sorrow.
　　Holding Xu Mingxiu’s corpse, Ye Wushuang looked at Xu Ziyin and couldn’t help but say, “Does it hurt？ Now you might begin to understand how I felt！”
　　Boom！！！
　　As the words fell, flames swirled, instantly reducing Xu Mingxiu’s body to ashes.
　　From this moment on, there would be no more Xu Mingxiu in this world！
　　Xu Ziyin’s icy gaze locked onto Ye Wushuang as he shrieked hoarsely, “Bu Baiyi！！！”
　　This furious roar echoed far and wide.
　　A surge of intense killing intent descended between heaven and earth.
　　From the highest point of the battlefield, Bu Baiyi and Yin Shenghao, who had been locked in combat, descended to the ground simultaneously without hesitation.
　　The moment Bu Baiyi landed, his expression darkened slightly.
　　Engaged in battle with Yin Shenghao, he naturally couldn’t afford to be distracted. Only now did he realize that the auras of Xu Mingxiu and Yun Changbai were nowhere to be felt on the battlefield.
　　Dead？
　　How could it happen so quickly！
　　Xu Ziyin’s voice was low as he demanded, “Where are your people？”
　　Hearing the hostility in Xu Ziyin’s tone, Bu Baiyi frowned and replied indifferently, “They haven’t arrived yet！”
　　”Haven’t arrived？ Haven’t arrived？ When will they arrive？ After all of us are dead？” Xu Ziyin suddenly roared.
