“I’m just joking with you! Isn’t it very funny?”

Just as Ye Xiao was in a dilemma, Liu Chengxun suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.

“...”

Looking at Ye Xiao’s cold face, Liu Chengxun’s smile gradually disappeared.

Ordinary humans often joke with each other in order to improve their friendship, right?

However, Ye Xiao did not find it funny at all?

It was too difficult to get along with ordinary people. Perhaps only martial arts experts like the Saber-sword Immortal could communicate with him and resonate with him?

With a slight sigh, Liu Chengxun bade farewell to Ye Xiao.

“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll return to the dormitory first. Goodbye.”

Ye Xiao looked at the map in his hand. The seemingly exquisite map had been altered countless times. That fellow was probably also doing it for ordinary people for the first time, right?

“Old Liu.”

Liu Chengxun was startled and turned around to look at Ye Xiao.

“What did you call me?”

“That’s what my friends and I call each other. If you find it offensive, I can also call you Supervisor Liu.”

Liu Chengxun was silent for a moment, and then he immediately laughed.

“You’re really an interesting person.”

Liu Chengxun was used to being high and mighty. However, right now, he just wanted to look for the Saber-sword Immortal. Although because of his special identity and that he was in the nine provinces, he could not do as he pleased.

Therefore, he would work in the martial arts library and be an ordinary person to pass the time.

However, in reality, he knew that it was impossible for him to be an ordinary person.

Every time he greeted others, they would tremble. Whether it was his colleagues or the people who came to borrow books, they would treat him with respect and keep a distance.

Even his own disciples would have a strong sense of respect for him.

The divine sect and the human race were already like two different races.

Finally, Liu Chengxun had discovered a maverick, Ye Xiao.

That fellow was able to get along with him like a normal friend. That kind of feeling made him feel quite strange, but it was also quite comfortable.

No wonder Jiansheng would recommend him to come to the library. If it was somewhere else, he would definitely not have had the chance to meet such an interesting person.

It seemed that the time spent searching for the Saber-sword Immortal in Jianghai city would not be too boring.

Ye Xiao waved the map in his hand.

“Do you want to have a meal together? I’ve said before that if you help me analyze the map, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“A meal? That’s fine too. I’ve not eaten for a long time after becoming a divine grandmaster. There’s no harm in eating a little.”

Ye Xiao nodded and shouted at Yang Xi who had already hidden far away.

“Yang Xi, do you want to go together?”

Yang Xi hurriedly shook her head.

“No, no, I still have work to do.”

“Then we’ll be leaving first.”

Looking at the backs of Ye Xiao and Liu Chengxun as they left, Yang Xi hurriedly patted her chest and took a few deep breaths.

‘The supervisor is really strange. Isn’t his state of mind too strong? To be together with a divine grandmaster and not be afraid at all.

‘If I had not known that the supervisor is only in his early twenties and definitely not a grandmaster, I would have suspected that he’s a hidden big shot.’

That was also the reason why Ye Xiao was neither servile nor overbearing and did not deliberately put on an act.

He was only in his early twenties. In another two months, he would only be 21.

As long as there was nothing wrong with his brain, no one would think that he was a grandmaster!

They would only think that he was more casual and had a better temperament, which was why he got along well with Liu Chengxun.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Well, how about Han kimchi?”

“There aren’t many Han kimchi shops in the nine provinces, right?”

“Is that so?”

“Of course, kimchi itself was originally passed down from our nine provinces. There are many types of kimchi here. Both in terms of taste and dishes, the kimchi here is a hundred times better than Han kimchi.

“You came to the nine provinces, but instead of eating the kimchi of the nine provinces, you want to eat the Han state kimchi. Isn’t that a little too much?”

“Then I’ll try the kimchi of the nine provinces today.”

The two of them had just walked a short distance when they passed by a small alley when Liu Chengxun suddenly stopped.

Ye Xiao sensed before him that there were two Xiantian fourth-grade beastmen waiting in the small alley.

“Heh Heh Heh... We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to find a librarian who had fallen alone to ask about the location of the spirit-gathering array seal, but to our surprise, you two came to our door.”

Ye Xiao was stunned by those two beastmen... How unlucky!

There were countless librarians in the Jianghai Library, but in the end, none of them were caught by those two beastmen.

In the entire Jianghai city, there were only two divine grandmasters, and they decided to target them.

The probability of that was even lower than winning the lottery.

He glanced at Liu Chengxun.

“Old Liu, are you not allowed to make a move? Do you want to call the police?”

Liu Chengxun shook his head.

“In the agreement I signed with the upper echelons of the nine provinces, I am indeed not allowed to casually make a move. However, if I encounter beastmen or star beasts, as well as humans who harbor malicious intentions toward me, I can make a move.

“I’ll have to trouble you to be my witness.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

...

The two beastmen passed very peacefully.

Even though Liu Chengxun had suffered considerable injuries from the battle with Ye Xiao, it was not something that two mere grandmaster-level beastmen could stand a chance against.

After all, he was also the Han sword saint who was ranked 49th on the World Dragon list!

After the two sword rays passed, the two grandmaster-level beastmen were hacked into pieces and went to see their beast gods.

Ye Xiao praised him.

“Impressive. As expected of the martial arts expert ranked 49th on the Dragon list. That technique is far from what an ordinary person can compare to.”

Liu Chengxun said casually,

“Now I’m no longer ranked 49th. I’m now ranked 50th.”

Ye Xiao was stunned, and Liu Chengxun immediately explained,

“Right now, the Saber-sword Immortal is ranked 49th. Since he defeated me, he was automatically included in the Dragon list.

“My ranking will be lowered by one place in turn.

“Now, I’m ranked 50th, and Murakami Beichuan has been pushed to the first place on the Tiger list. Which means he is no longer a martial arts expert on the Dragon list.”

“I see.”

...

The two of them walked further and further away. Not long after they walked past the alley, a figure appeared in an instant. When he saw the extremely long sword scar on the ground, he could not help but feel a lingering fear.

“What a powerful sword mark. I didn’t expect that the sword saint of Han state, Liu Chengxun, would actually become a librarian in the small Jianghai city.

“Fortunately, I didn’t come out just now. I only asked those two subordinates to come out instead.”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the library, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Now, Liu Chengxun and his colleagues have gone to eat. I’ll just happen to go and find out the whereabouts of the array. Hehe...”

After saying that, he turned into a streak of light and swaggered into the library.

The strength of Xiantian seventh grade was enough for him to easily find a high-ranking official in the library. Then, he would have a hundred ways to find out the whereabouts of the spirit-gathering array.

Soon, he found out that the spirit-gathering array of Jianghai city was under the statue of the Saber-sword Immortal in front of the library.

That made him overjoyed.

When he came before the statue, he could not hide the joy in his eyes anymore.

‘Is the clone of Norfis under this seal?

‘In the surrounding cities, except for the big cities, all the divine-level star beasts were separated and sealed, and they could not help me increase my cultivation.

‘Only Jianghai city had the clone of Norfis, who was at the peak of the divine sect and was at the ninth rank of the Xiantian realm.

‘As long as I enter this seal and use the beast soul incense that the alliance leader passed on to me, I can easily reduce the other party’s spiritual energy and then eat the other party. I can use the other party’s bloodline power to condense my own star beast bloodline. It will allow me to completely become a noble star beast.

‘At that time, when I combine my cultivation with the alliance leader, I will definitely be able to quickly cultivate to the Xiantian eighth grade.’

After that, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

“Who is standing there?”

A strong light from a flashlight shot over, and the security guard discovered the left protector’s figure.

However, the left protector only snorted coldly. He raised his hand, and a stream of energy easily blasted him into pieces.

“Courting death!”

After spitting, he looked at the statue. Then, he took out a special weapon from his pocket. With the weapon in his hand, he directly sank into the ground.

He was not afraid of the little security guard. However, he did not have much time because Liu Chengxun would definitely come back after eating.

When that time came, it would be really troublesome.

That weapon was given by the alliance leader. It was refined from the star core of a star beast that could burrow into the ground. After infusing spiritual energy, it had the ability to burrow into the ground.

With it, he could easily sink into the ground without alerting anyone.

‘The things that the alliance leader gave me are indeed useful.

‘With this weapon, I reckon that I can even penetrate their sealing array.

‘After I take Norfis’s body parts, I must return and repay the alliance leader properly. I’ll dedicate seven days and seven nights to her!’

Bang!

‘Oh my God! What’s so hard?’

The left Protector held his head in pain.

The thing he had just bumped into was too hard. Even though he was at Xiantian seventh grade and his body had been strengthened several times, he was still unable to resist it.

He rubbed his head hard and circulated his spiritual energy. Only when the pain in his head was slightly better did he start to examine it again.

When he saw the thing in front of him clearly, he was shocked.

‘What a powerful array! This array is actually at the imperial level!

‘My God, this is indeed the array used to seal the Xiantain seventh grade, Norfis’s clone.

‘This array is truly impressive. No wonder I was unable to break through it.’

Soon, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

‘Unfortunately, although this array is an imperial array, it didn’t use any spirit stones. It was just a simple inscription of the array. If it used spirit stones, then I definitely would be able to penetrate it and would not have to return empty-handed.

‘Now, I just need to use the array-breaking imperial weapon that the alliance leader passed to me to open a small hole in the array for a few minutes. I’ll definitely be able to enter and take down Norfis!”
