Qin Xian and the others looked up.
Ye Xuan wore a bright smile, and with his incredibly handsome face, he looked absolutely stunning.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the person before them was the same arrogant and invincible powerhouse who had slaughtered everyone around him.
Suppressing her shock and unease, Qin Xian forced an unnatural smile and said in a clear voice, "We're alright, thank you."
Ye Xuan waved his hand. "Senior Sister, there's no need to be so polite. As the saying goes, it's fate that we met. Besides, you senior sisters are all so beautiful. How could those scumbags bring themselves to lay a hand on you? They really deserve to be killed."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian and the other six blushed slightly, unsure of how to respond.
Ye Xuan's strength is truly too great, at least much stronger than theirs.
In addition, given Ye Xuan's previous slaughter and his killing of ruthless individuals like Li Chu, they still felt some fear and unease.
Especially after Ye Xuan uttered those words, they felt a growing unease.
Could this guy in front of them really have some ulterior motive?
If that happens, what should they do?
At that very moment, in the void, the incomparably sacred divine monument once again shone with dazzling light.
Yue Rong looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, " The Divine Ranking has changed again!"
As these words were spoken, everyone looked up.
On the Divine Stele, on the Venerable Ranking, a name was rapidly rising in the rankings.
Eleventh, tenth, ninth, seventh, fifth, third!
In just a short moment, that name soared to third place.
The name, positioned third, shone brightly, like a radiant sun, extremely dazzling.
The light lasted for quite a long time before gradually dimming and returning to normal.
" Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland actually made it to third place?"
Yue Rong and the other five women couldn't help but cover their bright red lips with their delicate hands, all looking utterly shocked.
Qin Xian, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "Are you Ye Xuan? Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland?"
Upon hearing this statement...
Swish swish swish.
Yue Rong and the other six finally reacted, their beautiful eyes all falling on Ye Xuan, utterly incredulous.
Ye Xuan felt slightly awkward being stared at by Qin Xian and the other six.
He smiled and said, "I am Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland. A mere list is nothing but an empty title."
As he said this, he was extremely shocked and somewhat displeased.
His cultivation has now reached the Venerable Realm Peak Stage, and it is truly the absolute peak, because he has reached the Supreme Extremity.
It's safe to say that he absolutely cannot advance any further beyond the Venerable Realm.
To improve combat power, one can only focus on martial arts skills, control over one's own strength, and practical combat experience.
With his true Venerable Realm Peak Stage cultivation, he crossed a major realm and killed Li Chu was at the Half-Saint Realm Peak Stage.
Even so, the ranking only reached third place, failing to reach the top spot.
In Ye Xuan's view, this was extremely abnormal.
However, this also shows that there are indeed demons and monsters in the Three Realms.
For example, Zhou Xuantian, who ranked first, and Luo Ziyan, who ranked second.
At least based on their current record, these two have surpassed Ye Xuan.
Moreover, this only includes the publicly available records. What about the hidden or unseen prodigies, or those who didn't even enter the Heavenly Void Divine Island?
If all these people were combined, could Ye Xuan truly claim the top spot and become invincible among those in the same realm?
" Senior Brother Ye, are you really Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland? The Ye Xuan from the Eastern Wasteland ranked third on the Venerable Ranking? You're not just bragging, are you?"
Just then, one of the petite, delicate-looking women couldn't help but ask a question.
"Shut up!" However, she was stopped by Qin Xian as soon as she said this.
Qin Xian looked at Ye Xuan and said apologetically, " Senior Brother Ye, Junior Sister Zi'er is young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take offense."
Zi'er seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. Her pretty face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Ye Xuan timidly and dared not say another word.
She then remembered that Ye Xuan was neither Saint nor one of those sycophants who used to fawn over them.
This is a god of death, a true god of death.
Ye Xuan laughed dismissively, " Qin Xian, what are you saying? Junior Sister Zi'er is just curious; what's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group quickly set off and continued their journey.
However, Qin Xian and the others seemed somewhat uneasy, still harboring an undisguised apprehension and fear towards Ye Xuan.
This is normal. They are not as strong as others, and they dare not refuse Ye Xuan's offer to team up with them, so they can only live in fear.
Ye Xuan didn't mind, nor was he embarrassed.
He always had a smile on his face, mingling with the beautiful women, and occasionally flirting with them.
And just like that, a few days passed quickly.
Qin Xian and the others gradually lessened their fear of Ye Xuan and began to lower their guard.
Because in the past few days, Ye Xuan has not shown any hostility towards them, nor has he done anything excessive.
Moreover, whenever Ye Xuan encountered any demonic beasts, he would instantly strike and kill them before they could be defeated.
As for the resources from the demon beasts, he distributed them all to the seven women.
Besides, when encountering some roadside robbers or cultivators with malicious intentions, Ye Xuan didn't take their storage rings either, and gave them to the seven women as well.
And so, everyone relaxed around Ye Xuan, except for Qin Xian, who remained uneasy and somewhat fearful.
Even now, she still doesn't understand Ye Xuan's purpose.
Logically speaking, someone like Ye Xuan shouldn't need to team up with them at all.
If Ye Xuan wanted their things, or harbored ill intentions towards them, he could simply take them; they would have no way to refuse.
However, Ye Xuan did not do that; instead, he gave them some of the resources he had obtained along the way.
What exactly does he want to do?
Qin Xian secretly glanced at Ye Xuan, muttering to herself, feeling extremely uncertain.
After another ten days or so, everyone noticed that the number of cultivators around them was gradually increasing, and they were all heading in one direction.
Upon seeing this, Qin Xian's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! That ruin has been discovered!"
Yue Rong and the others were also startled. "What should we do? Should we still go?"
Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What ruins? What do you mean?"
Qin Xian said, "I obtained a map of ruins in a secret place before, and this is the place. The reason those Lychee Immortal Sect members chased us was precisely because of that map."
"I originally thought that with the map in my hands, only we could find the ruins. But now it seems that something has happened to the ruins, and they've been exposed."
