Chapter 757: Chapter 401 Identity! The Legend of the Jue Xing Continent_2

“It’s possible he comes from one of the hidden Great Sects, but he seems to have a good impression of Your Highness.” Xu Guo communicated telepathically: “If he is willing to help you, we will definitely be able to complete the trial task.”
At this moment, Xu Guo was still thinking about Jiang Xuan’s trial task.
“Uncle Guo, I have my own judgment.” Jiang Xuan responded, her mind somewhat in turmoil.
…Seeing that Jiang Xuan did not respond, Li Yuan did not rush to ask further, knowing she needed some time to digest the situation.
Li Yuan was checking the treasures left behind by the Demigods and the Flying Heaven Warriors in the Ancient Divine Palace.
“There are quite a few weapons and elixirs.”
“There are also quite a few heads of Flying Heaven Level Ferocious Beasts…” Li Yuan’s soul was incredibly powerful, breaking the unclaimed seals on Storage Treasures with ease.
He cracked several Storage Treasures in succession.
Unfortunately, they did not contain what Li Yuan was looking for.
“There are plenty of treasures, but no books or message crystals?”
“Do they not read?” Li Yuan muttered to himself, though he understood that Flying Heaven Warriors, with their strong memories, didn’t particularly need books.
“Xu, Senior Xu Yuan.” Jiang Xuan was quite nervous and couldn’t help but speak out.
“Senior?” Li Yuan looked towards the somewhat uneasy Jiang Xuan and smiled, “Jiang Xuan, by status, you are nobler than me, and I’m probably not much older than you are. Just keep calling me Xu Yuan, like before.”
“Not much older than me?” Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised, as if she had realized something: “Then I will call you Brother Xu.”
“Alright.” Li Yuan nodded, no longer dwelling on the form of address.
It wasn’t important.
“Brother Xu, I want to thank you for this time. Without you, Uncle Guo and the others would have probably had a hard time surviving,” Jiang Xuan said sincerely.
“But for Jiang Lei, I still hope you would release him,” Jiang Xuan pointed at the bound Jiang Lei on the ground.
Jiang Lei couldn’t hear the exchange between the two, growing more anxious by the moment.
“Release him? Are you sure? He just tried to capture you,” Li Yuan frowned.
“He planned to capture me but probably didn’t intend to kill me,” Jiang Xuan shook her head: “I know Brother Xu is trying to protect me. But his father is the Shadow Blade Marquis, a Pseudo-God of my Abyss Country’s Royal Family… Brother Xu, you’re not a mighty one from my Abyss Country, are you?”
Li Yuan just smiled and shook his head without further explanation.
“Brother Xu’s strength, I guess, is that of a disciple from one of the hidden Great Sects out on a journey to temper himself,” Jiang Xuan said: “I’ve read some books and seen many such legends… Peerless geniuses concealing their identity, wandering the lands, and ultimately becoming True Gods, founding their own Divine Kingdoms.”
“I know Brother Xu can’t reveal his identity, consider it my wild guess,” Jiang Xuan smiled, her heart relaxing a bit during the conversation.
Li Yuan, hearing this, chose not to explain his origins any further, leaving her to her imagination.
“Would killing him let the Shadow Blade Marquis know the true perpetrator?” Li Yuan wondered.
“It’s hard to say,” Jiang Xuan shook her head: “The Abyss Demon Blood Den is a special secret realm, absolutely sealed off, not even Pseudo-Gods can break in, let alone spy… But there are no walls in the world that are completely impenetrable, perhaps the Divine have special methods of Inquiry.”
“Brother Xu may not fear the Shadow Blade Marquis, but this is the Territory of my Abyss Country, there’s no need to invite trouble,” Jiang Xuan said: “If Brother Xu trusts me, shall I handle it?”

“Alright,” Li Yuan nodded.
If this were outside the Abyss Demon Blood Den, he would have killed him outright.
What of a Divine’s offspring? Kill and run, the world is vast, and even the Divine would be powerless to catch him.
But this was Abyss Country’s turf, so caution was warranted.
Li Yuan waved his hand, loosening some of Jiang Lei’s seals, allowing him to hear outside and allowing him to speak.
“Jiang Xuan, spare me! Please, mercy!” Jiang Lei hurriedly pleaded, a complete change from his demeanor before.
“Jiang Lei, shut up!”
“Brother Xu is a good friend my brother made in the Starry Sky Ancient City; he happened to come to Abyss Country, and my brother asked him to protect me,” Jiang Xuan’s voice was icy: “I didn’t want to reveal Brother Xu’s presence just now; you forced my hand.”
“I’ve recorded everything about your attempt to assassinate me… but for Brother Xu’s sake, I will not report it,” Jiang Xuan glared at him: “I just asked Brother Xu to spare your life.”
“I’m warning you, don’t leak the existence of Brother Xu… If it gets out, not only you but even your father may be implicated.”
Li Yuan was surprised to hear this on the side.
And Jiang Lei was frightened, Jiang Xuan’s big brother’s friend? From the Starry Sky Ancient City? A surname Xu?
Instantly!
“Is it the peerless monster from the Starry Sky Ancient City tempering himself through trial?” Jiang Lei thought of various possibilities.
The key was Li Yuan’s terrifying strength on display, which in turn substantiated his guesses, sending a chill down his spine.
Starry Sky Ancient City, that was a place said to possess unrivaled power, even above the three thousand Divine Kingdoms of the continent.
Though Jiang Lei was a Divine offspring, he only had a vague understanding of the Starry Sky Ancient City, not even qualified to visit.
As far as Jiang Lei knew, every few years the Divine Kingdoms would select top geniuses to go to the Starry Sky Ancient City, but the vast majority would not receive approval… The official members of the Starry Sky Ancient City, as legends had it, all were Divine.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lei felt even colder inside.
“Brother Xu, please let him go,” Jiang Xuan respectfully asked Li Yuan.
“Okay,” Li Yuan said coldly, his expression indifferent but his heart calm, and retracted the Divine Artifact Chains.
“Jiang Lei, get out of here,” Jiang Xuan said.
Whoosh!
In a panic, Jiang Lei immediately turned into a streak of light, flying into his warship, quickly piloting it away.
A Storage Treasure?
Having convinced himself of Li Yuan’s identity, all he wanted was to escape quickly, fearing Li Yuan would change his mind and kill him again, where could he dare to hope to get his Storage Treasure back.
…On Jiang Xuan’s warship.
