Ji Manor.

Under the dim light, the whole mansion looked very solemn and quiet. It gave people a feeling of simplicity. Compared with the prosperity and luxury of Chang’an, the old general’s mansion was a little shabby.

This wasn’t the treatment an old general should receive.

Ye Xuan kept silent and remembered everything in his heart. When Old General Ji returned from the expedition, he would prepare a new mansion for him. He could not disappoint the empire’s cast stone.

Ji Ye asked his family to leave and took Ye Xuan to the study alone. “Your Highness, do you have something important to tell me since you’ve visited so late?”

“I’m just here for a visit, and also to give you something.” Ye Xuan said lightly, and his eyes landed on a black armor. He stood up and came to the armor. “Elder Ji, this is your armor.”

“Your Highness, this is my armor. It’s called the Green Dragon Jet Black Armor, passed down by my ancestors.”

Ye Xuan nodded. The armor was as black as ink and had a green dragon totem engraved on it. It was lifelike and intimidating. The cold killing intent it exuded could tell that this armor was not ordinary. The Ji family’s ancestor must be quite something.

He turned to look at the weapon rack. There was a huge saber that was a head taller than him. “The General Slaying Saber.”

Ji Ye took down the General Slaying Saber and handed it to Ye Xuan. “Your Highness, this is my old friend. He fought with me on the battlefield all my life, killed countless enemies, and drank blood.”

“A good blade!”

Ye Xuan said lightly. He slowly raised his arm, and a Jade bottle appeared in his palm. “Elder Ji, this is a Bloodline Pill. Take it before you go to war. It will help you improve your realm.”

“I’ve come to deliver the pill.”

Ji Ye hurriedly bowed. “Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. How can I have the honor to have Your Highness deliver the spiritual pill at night?”

Ye Xuan said, “Old General Ji, you’ll be famous for protecting Great Xia for a long time. I’m just here to give you some pills. It’s not worth mentioning.”

Ji Ye took the Bloodline Pill. “I also have something for you, Your Highness.”

As his voice fell, he left the study with Ye Xuan and walked towards the ancestral hall of the Ji family.

Outside the ancestral hall.

Ji Ye pushed open the door to the hall and motioned for Ye Xuan to enter. The moment the door opened, a powerful spiritual Qi fluctuation rushed toward him. “Your Highness, please!”

Ye Xuan entered the ancestral hall, and his eyes fell on the desk in front of him. A black wooden box came into view. The powerful spiritual Qi just now came from this wooden box. Ji Ye stepped forward and handed the wooden box to him.

“Your Highness, please take a look.”

“Elder Ji, what’s in this box?”

“Your Highness, it is a sword. When I was attacking North Vietnam, this sword fell from the sky and landed in a mountain not far from the camp. I brought it back.”

“However, this sword is too strange. Ever since I obtained it, no one has been able to unsheathe it.”

Ji Ye handed the wooden box to Ye Xuan. “Your Highness, you can give it a try.”

Ye Xuan opened the wooden box, and an ancient sword appeared. The sword had a powerful aura around it. “Ding, a reminder to you, Master, divine sword Xuanyuan has been discovered. Do you want it to acknowledge you as the master immediately?”

Xuanyuan Sword?

“Acknowledge Immediately!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword flew out of the wooden box and floated into the ancestral hall. In an instant, infinite sword Qi shot out and filled every inch of the ancestral hall.

The golden sword Qi enveloped Ye Xuan’s body, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in divine light. The next moment, the sound of a sword rang out, and Xuanyuan turned into a bright light and entered Ye Xuan’s body.

An infinite amount of sword Qi gushed into his body. The ancestral hall returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Ji Ye was shocked. “Your Highness is indeed a fated person. This sword will shine in your hands in the future.”

“Elder Ji, you have given me a big gift.” Ye Xuan said lightly. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying dragon might appeared, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade floated in the air. “What do you think of this blade, Elder Ji?”

Ji Ye’s burning eyes landed on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. “Your Highness, this blade is an invincible divine weapon.”

Ye Xuan said. “I’ll give it to you. Elder Ji, try and see if you can make it recognize you as its master.”

Ji Ye was terrified. “Your Highness, you can’t. This blade is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

Ye Xuan’s face was solemn. “It’s just a blade. How can it compare to you, Elder Ji? I only hope that you won’t bring shame to this blade and use it to expand the territory of Great Xia and to gain great merits.”

Ji Ye was a little moved. He knew that the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in front of him was many times stronger than his General Slaying Saber. If he used this saber on the battlefield, he would be invincible.

“Try it!”

Seeing that Ji Ye was still hesitating, Ye Xuan urged him in a deep voice.

Ji Ye hesitated for a moment before he walked toward the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. He slowly raised his arm and tried to grab the handle. The next moment, a shocking scene happened. A huge vortex appeared on the blade and swallowed Elder Ji.

A man and a blade were spinning in the air. Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “One with the blade.”

Immediately after, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade appeared in Ji Ye’s hand. He held the blade in one hand like a God of War. The aura on his body soared wildly, and his realm instantly rose to Great Grandmaster level ten.

After all, Ji Ye had been in the Great Grandmaster realm level five for ten years. He found it unbelievable that he had suddenly advanced by five small realms.

However, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it was just a normal procedure. Anyway, his breakthroughs had always been like this, soaring rapidly. Ji Ye restrained his aura and floated in front of Ye Xuan. He held his crescent blade tightly. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Ye Xuan motioned for him to stand up. “Elder Ji, you and the crescent blade are fated, and it recognized you as its master. Your cultivation has also improved a lot. In the next few days, consolidate your strength at home. When the preparation of food is completed, we will immediately send troops to the Northern Barbarians.”

“Yes,” Ji Ye said.

Ye Xuan walked out of the ancestral hall. “Rest early, Elder Ji. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

“I will send Your Highness back to the palace.”

“No need. It’s a quiet night, I’ll walk alone.”

“Ding, congratulations, Master. Ji Ye has obtained the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. He is 100% loyal to you.”

Was this even possible?

It was an unexpected gain.

Under Ji Ye’s gaze, Ye Xuan left the Ji Manor.

“Ding, a reminder to you, Master, a new check-in location has been refreshed — Ji Manor. Do you want to check in immediately?”

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was really leaving little spirits as he walked. No, it should be checking in everywhere he went.

“Check in immediately!”

“Ding, congratulations, Master. You have successfully checked into the Ji Manor and obtained the system reward — Divine General Tower.”

Divine General Tower, what’s that?

Ye Xuan’s mind stirred as he looked at the system’s introduction. The so-called Divine General Tower was a divine artifact. If a divine general obtained the recognition of this tower, he would obtain a wisp of attribute battle soul.

How awesome, it was his tower.

With this tower, Great Xia would become even stronger in the future.

In addition, this tower had another very impressive feature, and that was group attacks. Divine generals could enter this tower and fuse with the power of battle generals to launch this tower attack.

It was terrifying.

Under the night sky, Ye Xuan flew through the air and rushed towards the Eastern Palace. He was in a good mood that night, but when he was not far from the Eastern Palace, his expression suddenly became serious…

Someone wanted to mess with him.
