Invincible Sword God

ye xuan "Mother."

**Qingcheng, Ye Family.**

The Ye family was no longer as glorious as it once was. In fact, it was on the verge of disappearing from Qingcheng.

When the Ye family was at its peak, they had managed to offend almost every other family in Qingcheng. Now, the Li family, the Zhang family, and the city lord's mansion were taking their revenge on the Ye family with a vengeance.

The Ye family's former territories and shops had almost all been swallowed up by the other families. More importantly, the Ye family's younger generation didn't dare to leave their homes!

If they went out, they would definitely be beaten to death!

The Ye family was in a pitiful state!

In the Ye family's water prison, the former Grand Elder of the Ye family was now locked up like a dead dog.

After learning that Ye Lang had been killed, the Grand Elder's last hope was shattered, and he had become somewhat deranged.

On this day, Ye Cang came to the water prison.

Ye Cang walked up to the Grand Elder's cell and looked at the man inside. His expression was calm. "We've been fighting each other for a lifetime, but who would have thought that the Ye family would fall because of us two?"

Inside the cell, the Grand Elder sneered, "Ye Cang, the world says I'm short-sighted, but aren't you the same?"

Ye Cang nodded. "Yes, we are short-sighted. However, the Ye family won't be destroyed forever. One day, we will rise again!"

The Grand Elder laughed coldly. "Are you still hoping that Ye Xuan will remember his roots and care for the Ye family in the future? If that's the case, stop daydreaming! You know his personality better than anyone. The Ye family betrayed him. He will never care about the Ye family again in this lifetime!"

Ye Cang fell silent for a long time, then sneered, "There's one thing you shouldn't forget. It's said that when a person's strength reaches a certain level, their bloodline will mutate. Once the bloodline mutates, everyone related to them by blood will also undergo a transformation, and their strength will increase dramatically."

"Wishful thinking!"

The Grand Elder sneered. "What kind of powerhouse would have such an ability? Even in the entire Jiang Kingdom, there's probably no one like that. Do you think Ye Xuan can do it?"

Ye Cang took two steps forward and smiled. "Do you know why I pushed so hard to make him the heir back then?"

The Grand Elder stared at Ye Cang but said nothing.

Ye Cang smiled. "Aside from his personal strength, there was another reason—his mother!"

Ye Xuan's mother!

The Grand Elder frowned slightly. He naturally had an impression of her. She was a very ordinary woman who had suddenly disappeared when Ye Xuan was around ten years old and had never been seen since!

Ye Cang's right hand slowly clenched into a fist. Back then, when Ye Xuan's mother left through the back gate of the Ye residence with a black-robed man, he had also been present. At that time, he had clearly seen how terrifying the black-robed man behind Ye Xuan's mother was!

He was floating in the air!

What kind of powerhouse could float in the air?

At most, a Void Treading Realm expert could only hover in the air for a short time. But that person had been floating with both feet off the ground, and there wasn't the slightest trace of Qi fluctuations around him!

And when the two of them left, they had torn through space!

Tearing through space!

This was something Ye Cang had only heard of in legends!

After that, he immediately made Ye Xuan the heir because he believed that the mysterious woman would one day return to take Ye Xuan and his sister away. At that time, the Ye family would surely receive immense benefits!

However, he hadn't expected that the woman would leave for nearly ten years without returning or even sending any news!

At that point, he began to doubt!

He began to suspect that Ye Xuan and his sister had been abandoned by that woman!

This was also the reason why his attitude toward Ye Xuan gradually changed. But he hadn't expected that Ye Xuan would become a sword cultivator, and inexplicably at that. His strength had also become incredibly powerful. Ye Cang knew that this had to be related to that mysterious woman!

Ye Cang collected his thoughts and coldly glanced at the Grand Elder in the water prison. "The stronger Ye Xuan becomes, the more the Ye family will be laughed at and humiliated. But we will endure. We will endure until the day he reaches the clouds and his bloodline changes. Even if this hope is slim, we still have something to hold onto. As for you, Grand Elder, you will never have any hope for the rest of your life. I'm not killing you but keeping you locked up to show Ye Xuan that the Ye family is admitting its mistakes! The Ye family will wait for his anger to subside, even if it takes ten, twenty, or thirty years. As for you, you can stay here until you die!"

After saying this, he turned and left!

Inside the water prison, the Grand Elder fell silent for a long time. Then, he suddenly burst into wild laughter, laughing like a madman!

After a while, the Grand Elder laughed maniacally. "Ye Cang, oh Ye Cang, you're even more foolish than I thought!"

He knew Ye Xuan's personality better than anyone. Ye Xuan was someone who would repay even the smallest grievance and held grudges deeply.

Wait for his anger to subside?

If Ye Xuan hated the Ye family, it meant that he still had some feelings for the family, and there was still hope for the Ye family. However, Ye Xuan didn't even hate the Ye family anymore! If he didn't hate them, how could his anger subside?

...

Three days later, Qianshan City.

Qianshan City was a prosperous city located in the northern part of the Jiang Kingdom. It was surrounded by countless mountains, hence its name, Qianshan City. The reason for its prosperity was the presence of the largest merchant association in the Jiang Kingdom: the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was a mysterious organization with branches in over a hundred countries in the Qingzhou region. Any city that had a Drunken Immortal Pavilion would surely prosper!

This was because they possessed a unique mode of transportation: the Cloud Ship!

The Cloud Ship was a flying vessel. With it, the distance between cities was no longer an issue. In fact, the distance between countries was no longer an issue either.

And this time, Ye Xuan was going to take the Cloud Ship from Qianshan City to the capital!

The most prosperous place in the Jiang Kingdom!

At the gates of Qianshan City, Ye Ling, sitting in the carriage, blinked as she looked at the city before her. "Wow, Brother, this city is so big! It's much bigger than Qingcheng!"

Ye Xuan nodded and smiled. "It really is big!"

Ye Ling gently shook Ye Xuan's arm and said in a slightly** tone, "Brother, can we go shopping later?"

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure!"

They had been traveling for so long, and even he felt it was monotonous, let alone Ye Ling!

It would be good to take a stroll!

With this in mind, Ye Xuan took Ye Ling into the city.

The streets were wide, spanning several meters, and the city was bustling with people and carriages. It was indeed much livelier than Qingcheng!

Ye Xuan first found an inn for them to stay in. He only booked one room because Ye Ling's condition wasn't stable, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone in a separate room.

After settling in, Ye Xuan took Ye Ling out to shop!

On the streets, Ye Ling looked around excitedly, hopping around like a little sprite.

After a while, Ye Ling already had a few small trinkets in her hands.

Seeing Ye Ling so happy, Ye Xuan's smile also widened.

As the siblings passed by a small vendor's stall, the mysterious woman's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Xuan's mind. "Wait!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly startled. He then stopped and pulled Ye Ling to a halt.

"Senior?" Ye Xuan asked in his mind.

The mysterious woman said, "There's a purple ring on the vendor's stall next to you. Buy it!"

Ye Xuan turned to look at the vendor's stall. After scanning it, he noticed a rather inconspicuous purple ring in the corner.

The vendor was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled. "What do you need, young man?"

Ye Xuan picked up the purple ring. "How much for this?"

He didn't ask the mysterious woman why she wanted him to buy this seemingly ordinary ring because he knew there must be a reason! After all, the mysterious woman rarely spoke, so her speaking up now was significant!

The middle-aged man glanced at the purple ring in Ye Xuan's hand and smiled. "Ten gold coins!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan frowned slightly. Ten gold coins was a bit expensive! However, he didn't hesitate and directly took out ten gold coins to hand to the vendor.

Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't haggle, the vendor grinned and quickly took the coins, feeling overjoyed! After all, he would have been willing to sell it for even three gold coins!

Just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, a voice suddenly came from nearby. "Wait!"

Ye Xuan turned to look and saw a little girl, about the same age as Ye Ling, walking toward him.

The little girl had rosy lips and white teeth. She was wearing a small white cotton-padded jacket, with a small braid tied at the back of her head. She looked extremely cute.

The little girl glanced at the ring in Ye Xuan's hand, then turned to the vendor. "I'll pay twenty gold coins for this ring!"

The vendor was stunned, then looked somewhat troubled because he had already sold it to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan looked at the little girl and smiled. "Little sister, this ring..."

"Who's your little sister?" The little girl suddenly coldly interrupted Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's expression froze, and he was momentarily speechless. What kind of temper did this little girl have?

Beside Ye Xuan, Ye Ling looked at the little girl with dissatisfaction. "Why are you talking like that? My brother didn't mean any harm!"

The little girl looked at Ye Ling. When she saw Ye Ling, she was slightly stunned. Soon, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into shock, and finally into excitement.

For a moment, the little girl's expression changed several times, leaving Ye Xuan utterly confused.

Ye Ling also felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The little girl's expression returned to normal. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "What's your name?"

Seeing that the little girl no longer had that arrogant attitude, Ye Ling replied, "Ye Ling."

As she spoke, she hugged Ye Xuan's arm. "This is my brother, Ye Xuan!"

The little girl coldly glanced at Ye Xuan, then her gaze returned to Ye Ling. It was clear that she was hesitating about something.

Ye Xuan was about to leave with Ye Ling when the little girl suddenly took out a fist-sized red stone and handed it to Ye Ling. "This is for you!"

Ye Xuan and Ye Ling were both stunned!

The little girl stuffed the stone into Ye Ling's arms. "This is the Heavenly Fire Warm Jade. Keep it with you, and it can temporarily suppress the cold energy in your body."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. "You..."

The little girl ignored Ye Xuan and continued, "I have urgent matters to attend to now, so I can't take you with me. At most, in three months, I'll come find you."

As she spoke, she coldly glanced at Ye Xuan. "For your sister's sake, I'll give you this ring!"

After saying this, she took one last look at Ye Ling, then turned and left.

Ye Xuan was stunned and wanted to follow her, but in the next moment, the little girl was already dozens of meters away. In another instant, she had completely disappeared from Ye Xuan's sight!

Ye Xuan stood there, dumbfounded.

In a corner.

The little girl walked to the corner of a wall. As soon as she stopped, a black-robed man silently appeared behind her. The black-robed man knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty!"

The little girl said coldly, "Keep an eye on that pair of siblings. No, you can't follow them personally. You're too conspicuous. Find someone weaker to follow them. Remember, nothing must happen to that little girl."

The black-robed man said solemnly, "Your Majesty, do you intend to take that little girl under your wing?"

The little girl slowly closed her eyes, her tone filled with excitement. "I never expected to find someone with such a physique in this tiny Jiang Kingdom. If it weren't for the fact that the cave left by the Cangjie Sword Master is too important, I would take her with me right now!"

The black-robed man said solemnly, "Although the Cangjie Sword Master's cave has been discovered, the sword formation he left behind cannot be broken by force. It's said that only his personal sword can dispel the formation. But the Cangjie Sword Master has been missing for over a thousand years. Where can we find his sword?"

The little girl said indifferently, "It's fine. This time, everyone has gathered to find a way to break the formation!"

The black-robed man nodded. As if remembering something, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you intend to take that little girl's brother under your wing as well?"

The little girl shook her head. "Although his foundation isn't bad, his dantian is shattered, his physique is average, and his spiritual roots are ordinary. What's the point of taking him in? To waste rice?"

After saying this, she turned and left!
