Heaven-Ascending Steps.
That's a top-tier magic weapon.
It wasn't that no one in the Xiao Clan had ever been to Starry Sky City, nor that no one had ever tried to explore the mysteries of the Heaven-Ascending Steps.
But all their efforts yielded nothing.
They couldn't even take the Heaven-Ascending Steps with them, let alone reach the top.
But now, someone has taken away the Heaven-Ascending Steps.
How could they not be tempted?
"Then, as the head of the family, how should we deal with this person?"
Xiao Tianyuan was a straightforward person, and adhering to the principle of asking questions when he didn't understand, he asked.
Xiao Qingxuan said calmly, "Based on my guess, this person will definitely try to enter Heavenly Domain City. We will set up a large formation within Heavenly Domain City."
"This is our home turf. As long as we are prepared in advance, no matter how strong those master and disciple are, they will definitely not be a match for the Xiao Clan."
"Three days from now, a group of people from Starry Sky City will enter Heavenly Domain City. This person is very likely to blend in among them. We just need to be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuantian frowned. "What if this person isn't among the group three days from now?"
Xiao Qingxuan coldly said, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. For that Heaven-Ascending Steps magic weapon, for the secrets that kid holds, it's all worth it."
Xiao Tianyuan didn't say anything more, and neither did the elders of the Xiao Clan.
They've done this kind of thing so many times that they're used to it.
Besides, they wouldn't care about the lives of mere ants.
The Xiao Clan meeting ended quickly, and many of the Xiao Clan elders mobilized to begin making arrangements.
Meanwhile, news of what happened in Starry Sky City had gradually spread throughout Heavenly Domain City, causing quite a stir.
"Hey, have you heard? It's said that a ruthless person appeared in the Outer Heavenly Domain, actually crossing borders to kill Xiao Sheng of the Xiao Clan. His master even killed the Hanyi Xiao Clan's senior, Han Yi."
"Nonsense, who doesn't know that? It seems there are indeed capable people in the Outer Heavenly Domain. I really want to see who they are."
"Hey, are you all tired of living? You dare to gossip about the Xiao Clan? Do you want to be executed?"
Within Heavenly Domain City, many restaurants and teahouses were filled with cultivators discussing these matters.
Of course, they were all discussing it in whispers, and they were also filled with intense curiosity about the ruthless person who had killed Xiao Sheng.
After all, killing Xiao Sheng despite being at a higher cultivation level is still quite difficult.
Let alone in a place like the Outer Heavenly Domain, even in this Heavenly Domain City, not many people can do this.
···
Ye Xuan was naturally unaware of what had happened in the Heavenly Domain Heavenly Domain, let alone that he had already become famous Heavenly Domain before even arriving.
He was also unaware that those old fogies in the Xiao Clan had already begun plotting against him.
If he found out, he would definitely curse, "You shameless old man!"
At this time, Ye Xuan stayed obediently in the Devil Moon Mansion, not going anywhere, and quietly waited to leave three days later.
He clearly noticed that after Xiao Hanyi's death, the three major forces significantly reduced their efforts to search for him, and some even stopped searching altogether.
Even the leaders of the three major forces obediently returned to their sects to begin closed-door cultivation, occasionally releasing their auras.
It was as if they were deliberately telling Ye Xuan that they had given up on dealing with him.
"Holy crap, Her Majesty the Queen is quite something! She's intimidated the leaders of the three major powers? As expected of a big shot, her Gai Shi is truly unparalleled, and her domineering presence is boundless."
Ye Xuan clearly sensed these subtle changes, and his respect for the powerful figure in his mind grew even stronger.
This is what true dominance looks like.
If I kill one of your Half-Step Great Emperor Realm experts, everyone will behave themselves.
That's truly impressive.
And so, three days passed quickly.
On this day, Ye Xuan disguised himself as Xue Tong and respectfully followed Devil Moon to the Starry Sky Square in the center of Starry Sky City.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few cultivators in the square.
The leaders of the three major powers, along with many Late Emperor Realm experts, have all arrived.
Powerful auras rose into the sky, overwhelming all directions with their suffocating force.
At the same time, many Tianjiao and geniuses like Devil Moon from the three major forces also arrived in this place.
They are all going to enter Heavenly Domain City.
Devil Moon, along with Ye Xuan and five others, quickly arrived in front of a beautiful woman in palace attire.
This beautiful woman in palace attire possessed an elegant demeanor and noble bearing, much like a concubine in the harem of an ancient emperor.
She stood there, like a beautiful sight to behold.
With the addition of Devil Moon, both of them attracted countless eyes.
This beautiful woman was none other than Emperor Venerable Mingyao, the elder of the Human Immortal Sect who was going to the Heavenly Domain, a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
Devil Moon stood behind Mingyao, looking slightly nervous. Her heart was pounding wildly, but she managed to suppress it.
She was afraid that if Ye Xuan was exposed, they would be finished.
At the same moment, Ye Xuan was in the middle of the six guards, also with his head down, his fists clenched, and he didn't say a word.
He also seemed a little nervous.
Because only he knew that the Queen was asleep.
Although he expressed his doubts, the fact that the Queen had said so meant that internal action would be taken in the near future.
Without the Queen's protection, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat these old turtles.
Once their identity is exposed, they're doomed.
