<h4>Chapter 792: Giving Up Qingxuan</h4>


    He decided to hand it over just like that? Everyone was confused by Ye Guan''s actions.


    Their goal was naturally Ye Guan''s divine artifacts, and they hadn''t expected Ye Guan to just hand them over.


    The young woman in dark robes standing next to Asura Xiao stared deeply at Ye Guan in surprise. She also hadn''t expected Ye Guan to do something like this. When she thought about it, however, Ye Guan''s action was undoubtedly the best choice he had avable. Even if the Supreme Schr were to protect him, the Asura n and the Xuan n wouldn''t back down.


    The Xuan n and the Asura n were determined not to give up.


    The Supreme Schr couldn''t possibly stop the two ns. After all, she could not and would not fight to the death with the Asura n and the Xuan n for an outsider.


    This was why the Xuan n and the Asura n dared to act so boldly. If Ye Guan were a member of the Asura n, neither the Asura n nor the Xuan n would dare to truly sh with the Supreme Schr.


    In short, Ye Guan was stuck between a rock and a hard ce.


    However, he had just decided to voluntarily hand over the divine artifacts.


    He had even done it in a devious way, cing everything in front of Xuan Ce.


    He had sessfully shifted the issue!


    Asura Xiao''s attention was no longer on Ye Guan.


    The young woman in dark robes looked at Ye Guan with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.


    Taia Tian stared deeply at Ye Guan. He realized he had truly underestimated this young man. How bold!


    Just then, Xuan Ce grabbed the blood-red coffin and the Qingxuan Sword.


    Seeing this, Asura Xiao immediately roared, "Xuan Ce, what are you doing?!"


    Xuan Ce looked down at Asura Xiao and calmly asked, "What do you mean what am I doing?"


    Asura Xiao stared intently at Xuan Ce. "Those two divine artifacts should belong to the entire Asura Civilization. How can you take them for yourself?"


    Xuan Ce calmly responded, "Asura Xiao, these two divine artifacts were given to me, so they belong to the Xuan n."


    Asura Xiao red at Xuan Ce and insisted. "They belong to the entire Asura Civilization."


    Xuan Ceughed. "Asura Xiao, what kind of twisted logic is that? As far as I know, your Asura n obtained a super divine artifact back in the day. Why didn''t you say that it belonged to the entire Asura Civilization at the time?"


    Asura Xiao didn''t reply.


    <i>Rumble!</i>


    All of a sudden, the nearby spacetime quivered, and mysterious auras appeared all around.


    The supreme elites of the Asura n were here!


    Xuan Ce''s expression grew cold. "What? Are you nning to seize them by force?"


    All of a sudden, Ye Guan cupped his fist toward Xin Yu and Taia Tian. "I will always remember your help today. I will repay you someday. Farewell."


    With that, he turned to leave. Naturally, he couldn''t stay here any longer. His departure would provoke the two old men to fight more fiercely.


    Seeing Ye Guan leave, Xin Yu hesitated but ultimately said nothing, realizing that Ye Guan''s departure was indeed the best choice here.


    Taia Tian fell into deep contemtion as Ye Guan walked away.


    Asura Xiao and Xuan Ce only watched as Ye Guan turned around to leave. In their eyes, Ye Guan no longer held any value. Targeting him now would be foolish, as it would offend Supreme Schr and the Taia n.


    Thus, they pretended like they couldn''t see Ye Guan leave.


    The young woman in dark robes stared at Ye Guan''s departing figure before ncing at Asura Xiao and the others. She then shook her head but said nothing.


    Since Ye Guan was no longer around, Asura Xiao cast his attention on Xuan Ce. There was no way he would let the Xuan n take those two divine artifacts. The Asura n was the leader of the Asura Civilization, and they had control over the civilization''s vast amount of resources. If the Xuan n were allowed to rise to power, they''d undoubtedly challenge the Asura n''s authority—something Asura Xiao couldn''t allow to happen.


    Meanwhile, Xuan Ce was not going to spit the delicious food that was already in his mouth. Moreover, he had just confirmed that the blood-red coffin and the Qingxuan Sword were from a Tier Four civilization.


    The Xuan n could definitely rise to prominence and perhaps even rece the Asura n with such treasures in hand.


    The tension between the two sides escted; neither side was willing to back down.


    Just as they were about to sh, the spacetime behind Asura Xiao suddenly cracked open, and an elderly man emerged. Asura Xiao was stunned to see him. He was the previous n Leader of the Asura n, Asura Jing.


    Xuan Ce''s brows furrowed upon seeing Asura Jing. Asura Jing nced at Xuan Ce in the distance and then looked at the Supreme Schr. "Supreme Schr, the Asura n has offended you today. Please don''t take it to heart."


    The Supreme Schr looked at Asura Jing and said, "The Asura n should always be looking at the bigger picture. You are the leader of this civilization, after all.


    With that, the Supreme Schr turned around and left.


    Asura Xiao''s face turned extremely grim at the Supreme Schr''s words.


    Taia Tian nced at Asura Xiao and Xuan Ce. He smiled without saying a word before turning around to leave as well.


    He had to admit that he was also interested in the two divine artifacts, but he found Young Master Ye to be even more intriguing than those artifacts. The young man was extraordinary; there was more to him than what met the eyes.


    When the Supreme Schr and Taia Tian disappeared, Asura Jing turned toward Xuan Ce and said, "That young swordsman had deliberately handed over those two divine artifacts to you to make our ns fight each other. I''m sure you know that, right?"


    Xuan Ce was silent. He had seen through Ye Guan''s intentions, but he had no choice.


    Ye Guan''s strategy involved an offer so tempting he just couldn''t refuse it.


    Asura Jing said nothing more, merely staring at Xuan Ce.


    If the Xuan n truly intended to take the artifacts for themselves, the Asura n wouldn''t hesitate to fight them. After all, the Asura Divine Guards were still present. If a fight ended up breaking out, the Asura n had a higher chance of winning it. However, the Asura n preferred to avoid conflict, as it would weaken them significantly. In the bigger picture, any internal strife was undesirable. If the Xuan n insisted on taking away the divine artifacts, however, the Asura n would fight to prevent the Xuan n from gaining too much power and threatening the Asura n in the future.


    After a long silence, Xuan Ce finally opened his palm, revealing the Qingxuan Sword. With a flick of his finger, the sword flew over to Asura Jing. The Xuan n had no powerful swordsmen, so the sword held little value to them. On the other hand, the blood-red coffin seemed to be an extraordinary artifact, and Xuan Ce was more interested in keeping it with him.


    Asura Jing nced wordlessly at Xuan Ce before putting away the Qingxuan Sword.


    "Let''s go," said Asura Jing before turning around and leaving with the Asura n members.


    Xuan Ce remained silent for a while before leading his people away as well.


    ***


    Above the clouds, Asura Jing was staring at Asura Xiao with disappointment evident in his eyes.


    Meanwhile, Asura Xiao dared not speak.


    After a while, Asura Jing waved his hand and said, "Leave."


    Asura Xiao quickly turned around and left.


    "Xiao Han, stay," Asura Jing said.


    The young woman in the dark robe nced at Asura Jing and nodded.


    When Asura Xiao and the others had left, Asura Jing stared wordlessly at Xiao Han.


    Xiao Han remained calm andposed; her expression was neither servile nor overbearing.


    Aplex look shed in Asura Jing''s eyes. "I know that you are nursing a grudge against the family, but you should not ce the n in peril."


    Xiao Han calmly replied, "I do not understand what you are saying."


    Asura Jing''s gaze on Xiao Han became cold, while Xiao Han remained as calm as a cidke.


    Eventually, the coldness in Asura Jing''s eyes faded away. He felt conflicted. Since the untimely death of the Asura n''s prodigy, Xiao Han became the only young member of the n with exceptional potential.


    Killing her would create a void in the n''s future, which was a fatal issue for a n like the Asura n.


    However, Xiao Han clearly had no sense of belonging to the n and was even nursing a grudge against it.


    With a sigh, Asura Jing said, "If you are willing to let go of your hatred, you will be the next leader of the Asura n."


    Xiao Han smiled lightly. "If I''m unwilling to let go of that hatred, will you immediately eliminate me?"


    Asura Jing didn''t say anything and merely stared at Xiao Han.


    "If I told you that I''ve just let go of my hatred against the n, will you believe me?"


    Asura Jing was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "No."


    Xiao Han smiled. "Then, please eliminate me."


    Without any hesitation, Asura Jing raised his hand and sent a p in her direction.


    If there was even a glimmer of hope for a reconciliation, he wouldn''t eliminate such a prodigy within the n, especially when she was the only remaining prodigy of the Asura n.


    However, he had no choice, as Xiao Han''s hatred against the n was simply immense. In other words, she was a threat to the n that would most likely destroy the n if she were allowed to mature.


    The young woman in the dark robe opened her palm, and a mysterious light burst out of it.


    <i>Boom!</i>


    The mysterious light collided with the oing palm, and the resulting explosion sent both of them flying backward.


    In the distance, Asura Jing stared at Xiao Han in disbelief. "T-this is impossible..."


    Xiao Han stared calmly at him and said, "If you want to kill me, you would need to gather the top experts of the Asura n or even summon the ancestor. However, I think you''re not going to do that. Gathering the top experts of the entire n to kill one of their own would be a disgrace that neither the ancestor nor the Asura n could afford to endure. Am I right?"


    Asura Jing stared quietly at Xiao Han.


    "As for summoning the ancestor... you can''t really say for sure whether the ancestor will stand on your side or on my side," Xiao Han added with a smile.


    Asura Jing was quiet for a long time. Eventually, he snapped back to reality and said, "State your conditions. Even if it means exterminating all those from the main n who persecuted your parents, I will do it as long as you are willing to stay."


    The horrible fates of Xiao Han''s parents were the result of the main n''s persecution.


    Xiao Han remained indifferent as she said, "I would have considered it if you had said that earlier, but s, it''s toote."


    With that, Xiao Han turned around and left.


    There was one good reason she decided not topromise. She believed the Asura n was about to face the greatest cmity they had ever faced. In other words, she''d most likely perish if she were to stay with the Asura n. Xiao Han still wanted to live a long life, so she decided to leave the n.
