At that moment, Lu Xuan's heart was in a complete mess. His thoughts kept coming back to him.
There was no doubt that he and Ye Tian were related by blood. Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through the bloodline barrier that Ye Tian had set up. Moreover, his father, Lu Yu, had been entrusted by a childhood friend to save him. His background was unknown, but according to his and Lu Yu's deductions, his biological father should be surnamed Ye.
On the Heavenly Sword Continent, Ye was not a small surname. There were countless people with the surname Ye. It was not easy to find out which Ye family he belonged to. However, the most powerful family on the Heavenly Sword Continent was undoubtedly the bloodline of Ye Wuhen, the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance.
It wasn't that Lu Xuan hadn't thought of the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance, but he had quickly rejected the possibility. He had been hunted down by someone, which was why Lu Yu had saved him. The Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance was the most powerful family in the Jiuhua Alliance. How could their clansmen be hunted down?
However, the appearance of the Ten Supreme Swords made Lu Xuan focus on the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance again.
The reason why Lu Xuan knew about the Ten Supreme Swords was because of Ye Tian. Back then, Ye Tian had told him a lot of things as the Great Ancestor of his clan. The Ten Supreme Swords was the technique that made Ye Tian famous back then. After he became very powerful, he used that technique to dominate the Heavenly Sword Continent and never suffered a single defeat.
When he left the Heavenly Sword Continent, he left many cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, and elixirs for his wife, including the Ten Supreme Swords. Later, when Ye Tian went to the Heavenly Emperor Palace to reminisce about the past, he recorded the technique and left it to Lu Xuan. Now, the complete cultivation method of the Ten Supreme Swords was in Lu Xuan's storage ring. Although Lu Xuan hadn't practiced it, he had seen the Ten Supreme Swords. That was why he knew the secret of the Ten Supreme Swords.
Many things could have happened in such a long time. Perhaps his ancestor had lost the Ten Supreme Swords and the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance had obtained it. But no matter what, the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance was still the most likely descendant of Ye Tian.
That meant … he was also a member of the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance? Perhaps his biological father was in the Ye family now?
Ye Hao looked at Lu Xuan in confusion. He did not know why Lu Xuan had suddenly fallen into a trance while talking, as if he was completely unprepared for it. Ye Hao gritted his teeth and brandished his longsword. While Lu Xuan was distracted, boundless bloody light burst out, heading straight for Lu Xuan. It was the Blood Extinction Sword of the Ten Supreme Swords.
As he drew his sword, Ye Hao didn't forget to shout, "How dare you steal the Jiuhua Alliance's Ten Swords! You've committed a taboo of our sect!
Now that he knew that Lu Xuan knew the general principles of the Ten Supreme Swords, Ye Hao had the best excuse to deal with Lu Xuan.
Ye Hao's shout woke Lu Xuan up from his deep thoughts. However, Ye Hao's attack was already right in front of him. Everything he saw was blood-red, causing the blood in Lu Xuan's body to surge. It was as if all the veins in his body were about to burst.
Ye Hao's shout startled Lu Xuan out of his thoughts. But Ye Hao's attack was right in front of him. All he could see was a sea of red. Lu Xuan's blood surged, as if all his veins were about to burst.
"Void Annihilation!"
As Lu Xuan roared, a powerful wave of energy rushed out like a dragon from the sea. It was unstoppable. Amidst the cries of the crowd, they saw that Lu Xuan was able to break through Ye Hao's sword attack bit by bit. The blood-colored sword light that filled the sky was shattered, and Ye Hao himself could not help but take three steps back before he was able to neutralize the force.
"What kind of power is this?" Ye Hao asked in shock and anger.
"Tell me, how did you get your hands on the Ten Supreme Swords?" Lu Xuan asked.
"The Ten Supreme Swords are a martial technique passed down through the generations of the Jiuhua Alliance. How dare you steal it? No one can save you today!" Ye Hao shouted. Without another word, he rushed forward again. He was the young lord of the Jiuhua Alliance, the pride of the heavens, and the future leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. But now, he was knocked back by a single punch from Lu Xuan. How could he tolerate this?
"Soul Extinction!" Ye Hao's soul surged. Combined with the Soul Extinction, he felt as if his soul had been extinguished. When the crowd saw this, they felt as if it could sever their own souls.
The Ten Supreme Swords were complex. To unleash the full power of the Ten Supreme Swords, one needed to understand many different principles. As one of the last three of the Ten Absolute Swords, the Soul Absolute Sword required even more powerful soul force to complement it. It was precisely because of this that Ye Hao also cultivated the soul. Otherwise, he would not be able to display the true power of the Soul Absolute Sword.
However, it was impossible for his half-baked Absolute Soul Sword to hurt Lu Xuan's soul. This time, Lu Xuan did not even need to make a move. He only shouted, "Soul-devouring Technique!"
His Soul Lake surged, and a wave of soul power that made Ye Hao feel as if it was boundless came crashing down on him. That sword attack that he thought was powerful was actually destroyed in an instant by Lu Xuan's Soul Devouring Technique, disappearing without a trace. He even believed that his soul power would have been damaged if he had retracted it just a little later.
Lu Xuan had consumed the three Taiqing Jadesoul Elixirs and absorbed the soul power of the Soul race. At the moment, his Soul Lake had already strengthened to the level of a Four-star Divine Talisman Master. Ye Hao's Sword of Absolute Soul was only unleashed by borrowing the soul power of a Nine-star Divine Talisman Master. How could it be Lu Xuan's match?
Lu Xuan squinted his eyes and sneered, "You want to capture me and worship Lin Zeyu's grave with this little strength?"
"How dare you be so rude to the Young Alliance Master!"
"Young Alliance Master, please allow this subordinate to capture this person."
Ye Hao's followers spoke up one after another, reprimanding and asking to fight. However, Ye Hao was a little angry as he said, "All of you, back off. Do you think I'm not this brat's opponent?"
"Of course not. He's just a kid who doesn't know anything. There's no need for the Young Alliance Master to take action personally."
"Shut up. No one is allowed to interfere!" Ye Hao didn't listen to their clamor and shouted. He then looked deeply at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations. Lu Xuan was only at the Second Tier of the Great Void Realm, but he still had the upper hand against him. Although Lu Xuan was familiar with the Ten Ultimate Swords, Lu Xuan's strength was undoubtedly worthy of recognition.
"Looks like I'll have to show my true strength." Ye Hao thought to himself. He didn't want to reveal his hidden strength, but now it was difficult to get off. If he couldn't capture Lu Xuan, and the news spread that he, the Young Alliance Master of the Jiuhua Alliance, couldn't defeat a disciple of a Fourth Rank Sect, how would he be able to show his face in the future?
An imposing aura began to brew from Ye Hao's body, far more vigorous than before. Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly. He also sensed the change in Ye Hao. He tightened his grip on the Dusty Sword, but he wasn't worried at all. It was just a case of soldiers meeting generals with arms, and water with an earth weir.
The onlookers stared at the two of them with their eyes wide open. They thought that this unknown kid would be defeated very quickly, but they didn't expect that he would be able to fight evenly with Ye Hao, and even have the upper hand. This was a good show to watch. It was a rare fight between a dragon and a tiger.
Just as the two were about to clash, several figures suddenly flew in from afar. Before they arrived, their voices reached them first. A dignified voice shouted, "All of you, stop!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Hao's aura suddenly weakened, and instantly disappeared. At this moment, Lu Xuan heard the voices of the people around him.
"Alliance Master Ye is here!"
"Looks like we can't fight anymore."
Ye Wuhen? Lu Xuan looked up into the sky. Several figures came to an abrupt halt, and then landed between him and Ye Hao.
Two of the newcomers were people Lu Xuan knew: Long Boming and Zhao Ying. Just now, they were reporting to Ye Wuhen about what happened in the sealed area. They didn't expect to hear from their subordinates that the young alliance master, Ye Hao, was fighting with a young man named Lu Xuan.
Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't sit still. She glared at Ye Wuhen, then rushed out. It wasn't easy to wait until Zhao Ying was willing to see her. How could Ye Wuhen let her go so easily? She immediately chased after her. Only then did the leaders of the Alliance come.
"Lu Xuan, are you alright?" Zhao Ying asked worriedly as she approached Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled. "I'm fine. He can't do anything to me."
"That's good." Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Then she snorted and said, "Since the Alliance doesn't welcome us, let's go. I'll save my own disciple. "
Ye Wuhen was scolding Ye Hao, asking him why he started a fight in Jiuhua City. Before Ye Hao could come up with an excuse, Ye Wuhen heard Zhao Ying's words. She was in no mood to listen to Ye Hao's explanation. She quickly turned around and grabbed Zhao Ying, saying, "Ying 'er, don't go!"
Zhao Ying was a little annoyed to be held by Ye Wuhen in public. She tried to shake Ye Wuhen's hand off, but Ye Wuhen wouldn't let go at all. For a moment, everyone looked at Ye Wuhen.
This was the first time Lu Xuan had seen the legendary Ye Wuhen. She was the supreme ruler of the Alliance of Jiuhua, the master of nearly one-third of the Heavenly Sword Continent.
With just one glance, Lu Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Ye Wuhen actually looked 80% like Ye Tian, and her eyes and nose … were almost identical to his!
"Ying 'er, since you're here, don't leave. Don't mind the play between two juniors," Ye Wuhen said in a low voice. As the leader of the Alliance of Jiuhua, Ye Wuhen was willing to put down his pride and say such flattering words. It was enough to show how deep his feelings for Zhao Ying were.
Then, Ye Wuhen looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile, "Ying 'er, I've long known about this disciple of yours …"
Halfway through her words, Ye Wuhen couldn't go on. She just stared straight at Lu Xuan without blinking. She was stunned all of a sudden. His expression kept changing. It seemed like joy, excitement, disbelief, and ecstasy.
"Hahahaha! Ying 'er, you've kept me in the dark! "Ye Wuhen suddenly laughed wildly.
