Jiang Xuantong successfully refined ten Holy Pills, but a sudden, terrifying force erupted, shattering the pills and disrupting his breakthrough. Ye Xuan, sensing the disturbance, brought Jiang Xuantong and Jiang Zhao to a dark cosmos to investigate the mysterious and frightening power that is now threatening the Jiang Family’s territory and peace.

People gathered in this dark universe, only vaguely seeing some dim stars.

This doesn’t seem strange at all.

In this vast expansive world, it’s even quite common.

But those power fluctuations came precisely from this dark universe.

So, no one dared to underestimate it in the slightest.

Boom!

Just as people were discussing, a terrifying fluctuation surged once again.

It exploded suddenly, faster than lightning.

In that instant.

Poof, poof, poof ————

A series of soft sounds followed.

Those were one by one, Jiang Family’s powerful figures, directly turning into blood mist.

Boom!

But quite a few of the Jiang Family’s strong reacted timely and directly acted to resist that power.

However, despite this, once touched by that power, they were instantly blown away, unable to withstand it at all.

Only the strong in the Great Saint Realm managed to barely resist that power.

Beside Ye Xuan, Jiang Xuantong was initially in great danger, but fortunately, with Jiang Zhao and Ye Xuan around, he wasn’t impacted at all.

"Damn!"

Jiang Xuantong cursed directly, watching as one clan member after another exploded into blood mist in the universe.

"What’s going on?!"

Jiang Xuantong found it unbelievable.

"Dad, you should go back first, it’s dangerous here!"

Jiang Zhao’s expression grew increasingly grave.

This sudden strike left everyone shocked beyond measure.

Logically, at their level, they all had premonitions of danger.

But that power just exploded without any warning, leaving everyone caught off guard.

Jiang Zhao worried that the power might strike again, making it dangerous for Jiang Xuantong to stay here!

"I ain’t scared, my dear grandson-in-law is really strong."

Yet, Jiang Xuantong shook his head and refused.

He then asked Ye Xuan, "Dear grandson-in-law, can you protect me or not?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and replied, "Grandpa, what if I can’t protect you?"

The smile froze on Jiang Xuantong’s face as he muttered, "Then what the hell are you saying, I’m going back to sleep."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Ye Xuan didn’t mind at all, waving his hand to send him back.

Certainly, he could protect him, but it would require his attention.

This time the situation was a bit unusual.

"Xiao Xuan, don’t take it to heart, your grandpa is just like this." Jiang Zhao said softly.

"Well, he’s my grandpa after all." Ye Xuan smiled and said.

It’s okay, just an old mischievous kid.

After sending Jiang Xuantong away, Ye Xuan and Jiang Zhao focused their attention on that power.

The first appearance of that power was too mysterious, causing many people to be unaware of its source.

But this time, so close, despite it coming and going quickly, many still captured it.

"From that star!"

A Jiang Family expert pointed out the source of that power.

It was from a desolate star deep in the dark universe.

This star’s surface was full of depressions, without any luster.

It had no vitality.

Just a dead star.

But everyone confirmed that the power came from there!

Including Jiang Zhao.

Only Ye Xuan knew that this was wrong.

Ye Xuan’s gaze was always fixed on a certain place in the void.

Jiang Zhao noticed Ye Xuan’s abnormality and couldn’t help asking, "Xiao Xuan, do you have a different opinion?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "You’ll know soon."

Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment and frowned, "You mean, that power will come again?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "More than once."

"You’d better notify them quickly."

Ye Xuan reminded.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao had no doubts and immediately informed his grandfather, the Jiang Family Head.

Upon learning of this news, the Jiang Family Head instinctively glanced in Ye Xuan’s direction, then quickly spread the word without wasting any time.

After receiving Ye Xuan’s reminder, everyone took precautions.

Boom!

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before that power struck again.

But this time, everyone was prepared, so that power didn’t harm anyone.

When the power dissipated, a fierce discussion broke out among the Jiang Family strong.

Because they found that the source of the power had clearly shifted at this moment, no longer from that dead star!

Jiang Zhao also noticed this and his expression grew even more serious.

Boom!

Before people could reach a conclusion, that power struck once again.

And this time, it clearly came from another direction!

This change made the faces of the Jiang Family’s strong look grim.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

At this moment, the frequency of that power’s appearance skyrocketed, assaulting from all directions.

Boom!

In an instant, the various Jiang Family strong in the dark universe began showing their Divine Skills, each trying their best.

In the prepared state, they were already able to withstand it.

Hmm...

But as more time passed.

Some couldn’t hold on any longer and began withdrawing actively.

"Withdraw for now!"

The Jiang Family Head also realized something was amiss and immediately gave the order.

Soon, most of the Jiang Family’s strong chose to break open the void and flee this place.

Because that power seemed to never cease, continuously appearing.

This threatened most of their lives.

"Qilin Blood Guard, deploy in full!"

The Jiang Family Head issued another command.

This order was naturally for the Qilin Blood Guard to protect all Jiang Family members.

Even though the Jiang Family members were exceptionally talented, there were still women, children, and the old or disabled who needed protection.

"Xiao Xuan, should we withdraw for now?"

Jiang Zhao looked at Ye Xuan, somewhat worried about Ye Sixing.

Ye Xuan shook his head lightly, "It’s okay."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhao didn’t say anything more.

However, he was curious about Ye Xuan’s earlier words.

"Xiao Xuan, how did you determine that the power would keep appearing?"

Jiang Zhao asked.

Ye Xuan just said two words: "Instinct."

Jiang Zhao said worriedly, "If this power keeps existing, I’m afraid our Jiang Family will have to relocate as a whole."

This power poses a huge threat to the cultivators.

Especially when close by, even those in the Great Sage Realm face a life crisis.

No one can guarantee that the power won’t spread.

Once it spreads, it will be a horrifying disaster!

Ye Xuan didn’t respond.

His visit to the Jiang Family was precisely for this.

"Withdraw for now."

Ye Xuan watched for a while and said softly.

Nothing could be discerned yet.

They needed to wait.

Wait for an opportunity.

With that, Ye Xuan didn’t care about Jiang Zhao’s thoughts, took Ye Sixing, and withdrew actively; Ye Xuan had no intention of discussing with the Jiang Family’s main forces and returned directly to the Immortal Island.

After Jiang Zhao withdrew, he began consultations with the Jiang Family Head.

Such an event forced the Jiang Family to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.

During the meeting, an elder proposed inviting Ye Xuan to participate.

However, upon receiving the invitation, Ye Xuan chose to refuse, saying that no matter how much they discussed, there would be no result, and it was best to wait patiently.
