Ye Xuan was somewhat stunned when he saw the expressions on the three people's faces.
What's wrong?
Did I say something wrong?
However, he soon became excited.
The expressions on their faces suggested that they must have heard of Han Bingning.
"Brother Ye, be careful with your words! The Saint Han Bing is a top beauty in our Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain. Not only is her talent extraordinary, but her background is also incomparably noble. You must not address her by her name directly."
After a brief silence, Shi Heng spoke immediately.
As he spoke, his spiritual consciousness continued to surge forth, sealing off the surrounding void.
As Shi Heng finished speaking, Shi Tian followed up with:
" Ye Xuan, a figure like the Saint Han Bing, is not someone we can aspire to. Remember this well in the future: never address him by his name directly, or you will face dire consequences."
Shi Jin's lips twitched, and after a long while, he said, "Brother Ye, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you! If those proud talents of the Immortal Domain find out, we'll all be implicated."
"Fortunately, the prodigies of those top-tier lineages should all be in the inner circle right now, otherwise we would be doomed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan looked completely bewildered.
What does that mean?
It's only been a short time since I left, and I can't even call you by your name anymore?
Well, speaking of which, Han Bingning is still her master, so calling her by her given name seems rather disrespectful.
But how could Han Bingning have broken through to the Saint Realm in just a few years?
Not only that, but he also has such a great reputation even in the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, which is truly unbelievable.
While thinking to himself, Ye Xuan repeatedly said aloud, "I apologize to the three of you. I truly did not know these things. I will remember them in the future."
Then he asked again, "Fellow Daoists, how much do you know about that Saint Han Bing?"
"Please don't misunderstand, the three of you. I only heard of the name of the Saint Han Bing by chance and admired him, which is why I inquired about him."
Shi Heng glanced at Ye Xuan and said speechlessly:
"Brother Ye, I advise you not to overthink it. A figure like the Saint Han Bing is beyond our reach."
"Let alone getting close, we probably won't even have the chance to look up at them."
Shi Tian chuckled, his face full of admiration, and said:
"Yes, the Saint Han Bing, she is the most beautiful of the ten beauties in our Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, and with her noble status, how could someone like us possibly aspire to her?"
"It is said that many top-tier Dao disciples and divine sons from other Immortal Domain are pursuing the Saint Han Bing. Such a figure is like the stars and the sun and moon to us, unattainable."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was at a loss for words.
He figured it out.
These three had indeed heard of Han Bingning and knew of her existence, but that was all.
They had no idea what Han Bingning was, let alone ever seen her.
Ye Xuan was slightly shocked.
Has Han Bingning become this outstanding in just a few years?
Is this due to her innate talent, or to the Ice Sacred Body bestowed upon her by herself?
According to the three people, Han Bingning's status is so high that she should have also come to Heavenly Void Divine Island, but not from the outer perimeter.
Doesn't this mean that if I venture deeper into the territory, I might very well encounter my master?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but get excited.
After not seeing his master for several years, he really missed him.
As the three walked and chatted, they came to see an ancient city.
The ancient city looked extremely dilapidated, with crumbling walls and a palpable sense of impending doom.
Even from a great distance, Ye Xuan could sense the ancient and weathered aura, as well as the terrifying and boundless killing intent.
According to legend, Heavenly Void Divine Island was formed from the shattering of a Immortal Domain by a powerful being, so it is not surprising that it contains cities.
"Brother Ye, this city is called Xuanyuan. According to ancient texts, it was once a prosperous place, containing many ruins, including some that can help one comprehend the Great Dao."
"Putting everything else aside, did you feel that murderous aura?"
"Countless years have passed, and the world has changed, yet this killing intent remains steadfast and terrifying. One can only imagine how terrifying the person who left this killing intent must have been."
"Simply sensing this killing intent will be of great benefit to us."
Shi Heng to the city and said to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, but inwardly he didn't take it to heart.
He wasn't very interested in any profound insights into the Dao or those historical relics.
He was only interested in spirit stones, and even immortal stones.
Cultivation resources were what would help him improve; as for other things, Ye Xuan didn't care much.
The three quickly approached the ancient city.
Many cultivators stood on the outskirts of the ancient city.
These cultivators were clearly divided into different levels, with the closest one only a kilometer away from the ancient city.
As for those farther away, they were over 10,000 meters away.
At this moment, all the cultivators within ten thousand meters were closing their eyes and furrowing their brows.
A chilling killing intent swirled around them, clearly indicating that they were trying to comprehend the powerful killing intent.
However, some people can withstand it, while others cannot.
In just a short while, Ye Xuan saw several cultivators cough up blood from the impact of the killing intent and retreat to a distance of over ten thousand meters.
Ten thousand meters away, in what appeared to be a safe zone, countless cultivators stood with solemn expressions, pointing and whispering at those who had sensed killing intent.
"To enter this city, must one be able to withstand that murderous aura?"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel curious and asked.
Shi Heng nodded. "Yes, to enter this city, one must be able to withstand the killing intent here; otherwise, one cannot enter!"
"My fellow disciples and I from the Azure Firmament Immortal Gate have been here for over a month, but in this past month, not a single one of us has been able to enter this city."
Ye Xuan nodded.
As they spoke, the three of them landed.
At the same time, seven or eight people had already gathered around.
" Shi Heng, did you deal with that guy? Did you get the stuff?"
Among these seven or eight people, the leader was a young man.
The young man's cultivation level was at the Half-Saint Realm, and his temperament was noble and outstanding, clearly indicating that he came from a powerful sect.
Upon seeing the young man, Shi Heng immediately bowed and said, "Senior Brother, the person has been dealt with, and the items are inside."
As he spoke, he handed over a storage ring.
It was the same one that he had previously obtained from Jiang Yang.
The young man took the storage ring, glanced casually at Ye Xuan, and asked, "And who is this?"
Shi Heng quickly said, "Senior Brother, his name is Ye Xuan. We met on the road and had a very pleasant conversation, so we came here together."
Then he introduced them to Ye Xuan one by one, "Fellow Daoist Ye, this is my senior brother, Zhuo Weng, this is Zixia, and this..."
Ye Xuan smiled at each of them as a sign of greeting.
At this moment, the woman named Zixia looked at Ye Xuan and suddenly asked, "May I ask which Immortal Domain Brother Ye comes from? And which ancient lineage do you belong to?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Heng and the other two couldn't help but slightly change their expressions.
This was clearly a probing question, testing whether Ye Xuan was qualified to befriend them.
Zhuo Weng and the others all turned to look at Ye Xuan Ye Xuan, eager to know his background and identity.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan maintained his smile, showing no anger and remaining quite composed.
"Greetings, Fairy Zixia. I come from the Eastern Wasteland and have no powerful lineage or background; I am merely from a minor power."
Eastern Wasteland?
The entire room fell silent instantly.
