Star Lord Ying's Drastic Change in Mindset

[Detected that Ying Xuanji, the Star Lord of the Ziwei Palace who previously had the most Martial Arts Talent, has suffered a severe blow; her Malice Points increases by 5000!]

Ye Li thought that either their own system had been upgraded.

Either Ying Xuanji's status in the Ziwei Palace is truly exceptional.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have even collapsed his Dao Heart; just being hit hard enough would have caused him to generate some Malice Points.

I underestimated this person before, thinking he was just an ordinary genius.

I didn't expect her to be so sensitive... Ye Li glanced at the silver-haired girl who had walked to the back and whose eyes were lowered, and silently complained to himself.

He then looked away and casually asked:

"Star Lord, has the Nirvana Method I requested arrived?"

"Hmm?" Ying Xuanji looked up as if waking from a dream.

For some reason, Ye Li felt that the area around her eyes had become noticeably darker, even resembling dark circles.

"Nirvana Method?"

Ying Xuanji snapped out of her daze, quickly walked over, and quietly handed him the golden scroll, saying apologetically:

"It arrived this morning. I was planning to deliver it to you, but that Demon Lord ruined my plans... I'm so sorry."

"Fine."

Ye Li accepted the scroll and thanked him.

This is the first time I've ever run out of mana since I left Blue Star.

This must be taken seriously immediately.

Therefore, he plans to max out his Nirvana Method before tomorrow's battle, so that his cultivation level can be raised to another level.

"By the way, could I take another look at that Treasury Token from the Ziwei Palace? I'd like to select some Treasure Medicine for alchemy, and I can deduct it from my battle merits."

"Fellow Daoist Ye is joking."

Ying Xuanji awkwardly averted her gaze and said softly:

"The Spirit Medicine in the Ziwei Palace's treasury were originally prepared for geniuses like you. Feel free to take them; there's no need to deduct battle merits..."

"That's Trouble."

Ye Li led the group back to the territory of the royal city.

The matter of the Nine Yin Demon Lord has come to an end; now it's time for the [Five Continents War].

Call me if you need anything.

After successfully avoiding the excited and cheering citizens of the capital.

Ye Li left behind these words, then bid farewell to everyone at the Royal City Heavenly Supervision Department, his figure transforming into a golden rainbow of light and disappearing from the spot.

"Elder Ye, you are truly an unprecedented figure in the history of Shenzhou!"

Qiu Tianzong watched the other person leave, he felt more awestruck than he had ever been in his life, to the point that he wanted to serve such a hero wholeheartedly, even at the cost of his life.

Unfortunately, with the boy's Martial Dao level and terrifying combat power, which far exceeded common sense, he no longer needed the protection of True Person like him.

For now, all they can do are some finishing touches like "redrawing the map of the capital" and "appeasing the public's emotions."

Even with such a job, the Iron Face elder who had guarded the royal city for over a thousand years was still extremely happy to do it.

"I have important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

He bowed slightly to the two high-ranking officials of the Ziwei Palace, and then led the people from the Heavenly Supervision Department out.

"Hall Master Tian..."

Ying Xuanji had originally planned to take her leave as well.

Tian Qingwu called out to her directly, "Xuanji, don't rush off."

"There's something else I need to tell you."

Ye Li's demon-slaying spree caused a great stir, and the Divine Connection Realm forces within a radius of 100,000 li would likely all be aware of the situation to some extent.

Even those forces that don't have True Person at the Divine Connection Realm in charge.

As time goes by, the horrific situation of this place will likely come to light very soon.

[A powerful figure in the royal city summoned the Sky-Supporting Dharma Form and ruthlessly slain the infamous True Lord Jiuyin!]

Despite this, Elder Ye was still unwilling to settle down in the royal city, unwilling to grow under the protection of the two True Monarch of Creation Realm who were about to arrive in the Divine Continent.

This is certainly a good thing.

After all, a calm sea cannot produce an outstanding sailor, and the same principle applies to the training of Martial Dao.

Elder Ye's incredible combat prowess, honed through countless life-or-death crises, must have come from years of training.

If he were kept confined in the royal city to cultivate...

Not only would it erode this innate sense of pride, but the person involved would also most likely not agree to it.

The boy's terrifying Martial Dao talent is undoubtedly a top secret in the Divine Continent.

The royal city had just been thrown into such a huge commotion.

At this critical juncture, the Ziwei Palace has added a ninth Star Lord. When this news reached the ears of the Heavenly Supervision Department and Demon Suppression Bureau in the other four continents, almost everyone could guess some of the clues behind it.

Tian Qingwu did not want to doubt his colleagues.

She was just worried that there were traitors within Shenzhou.

If Elder Ye's information is betrayed to the outside world by an insider... no one in the entire Divine Continent can bear that responsibility.

It would be even more difficult to protect such a peerless genius.

So she had to do something.

"Xuanji."

Tian Qingwu sat down at the long table and said in an extremely serious tone, "I remember you said before that Elder Ye planned to take a trip to the Western Continent after the battle?"

Ying Xuanji nodded slightly. "He has something to discuss with Palace Master Jiang of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace."

"Jiang Minghuang... that woman is no pushover..."

Tian Qingwu sighed, "Elder Ye will definitely need to use his position in the Heavenly Supervision Department to act; otherwise, he probably won't even be able to see her."

"But the Supreme Elder of the Eastern Continent can't control the Western Continent, and the situation here must be kept secret from the four continents; the fewer people who know, the better."

"Therefore, the local Heavenly Supervision Department may not give him that kind of face."

Tian Qingwu coughed twice, looked at Ying Xuanji whose eyes were dim, and smiled, "At this time, someone of sufficient status is needed to speak up for him."

"... Elder Ye himself is the Star Lord."

Ying Xuanji remained silent for two seconds, and after discerning the meaning behind the other person's words, she slowly spoke:

"This status is already high enough for the Four Continents Heavenly Supervision Department; they don't need my help."

"Rather than that... having True Person like me around would actually lower his status."
