Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

The Xuanyuan Sword also spontaneously protected its master, seemingly sensing an aura that it found extremely repulsive.

A rich golden light emanated from the sword, yet it did not damage the guest room in the slightest.

Instead, he traveled through time and space, tracing back to the source, and directly struck Ning Ke, who was thousands of miles away.

Ning Ke was struck by the golden sword energy, coughed up blood, and collapsed onto the bed.

Fortunately, the Luo Tianzhu emitted light and protected her, otherwise she would have been killed by this sword.

"Such power, such a strong and domineering sword aura... could it be the Xuanyuan Sword of the Earth Emperor? Truly formidable!"

Ning Ke coughed dryly and spat out another mouthful of blood.

The blood also had a faint golden halo, exuding an extremely domineering aura.

She couldn't even look directly at a certain aura.

"Master, luckily you retreated quickly and were protected by a treasure."

"Otherwise, you would probably be dead."

Shuxiang was quite frightened.

She had also felt the terror of that sword energy just now.

If the sword were to strike her, she would likely be instantly killed and cease to exist.

The power of the Xuanyuan Sword is extremely strong, far beyond what can be compared to ordinary swords.

Even if Ning Ke had a treasure to protect her, she would probably not have escaped death if she hadn't retreated in time.

"According to my father, this generation of Earth Emperor has not yet grown up, but he already has such power."

"If we wait until he grows to his perfect state, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"No wonder my father was so wary of him."

Ning Ke then understood why her father had made her abandon her physical body and come to the human world.

"Master, you should recuperate first, otherwise it may affect your foundation."

Shuxiang offered a word of advice.

"I understand, you will protect me."

Ning Ke sat cross-legged on the bed, recovering her strength to avoid causing irreversible consequences.

Thousands of miles away, Yuwen Tuo looked at the Xuanyuan Sword unleashing its power with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Who was spying on me just now? I find that feeling disgusting, and I also loathe the sword in my hand."

Yuwen Tuo whispered something.

This sword is an ancient divine sword.

This is the first time we've seen active protection.

During his previous battle with Yang Su, this sword did not actively protect him.

Yuwentuo examined the Xuanyuan Sword carefully for a while, and then sensed it again. The aura from before was no longer present in the void.

It seems to have been completely destroyed by the Xuanyuan Sword.

However, he did not notice that within the energy that had just been extinguished, a wisp of demonic energy had fallen into the Yong'an Pawnshop in Yuzhou City.

It was the divine fire aura that originated from the same source as him, but it was extremely well hidden.

Even the Xuanyuan Sword could not destroy it.

In Yong'an, Jing Tian was playing with Xu Maoshan in the backyard.

They had originally planned to go out and look for Yuwen Tuo, but when they realized they were about to eat, they no longer focused on finding him.

In the Demon Realm, Demon Lord Chonglou opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his expression.

"I didn't expect to find it so quickly."

He was just trying it out, but who knew Ning Ke would actually find it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Demon Lord Chonglou tore open the Demon Realm and headed towards the mortal world.

He possesses the supernatural laws of space.

Even without going through the Well of Gods and Demons, he can freely travel through the Six Realms without any hindrance.

However, his actions were noticed by the eight Demon Lords and Demon Kings of the Demon Realm.

The space of the Demon Realm was torn apart, and they, as Demon Lords and Demon Kings, were naturally aware of it.

Those demon lords were alright; they didn't dare to spy too much on Demon Lord Chonglou.

The Demon Lord's expression turned somewhat solemn at this moment.

"Has he gone to the mortal realm? What has he gone to do there? We haven't seen him leave for many years."

The Demon Lord was worried that the other party was going to find Ning Ke.

But he doesn't have any extra manpower to spare right now, let alone a demon lord who is even stronger than him.

Yuwentuo found Han Teng and told him what had just happened.

"What? Such a thing has happened?"

Han Teng looked wary.

He was already worried that someone was spying on him, but now that someone was using their divine sense to investigate, he was quite shocked.

"It must be Yang Jian's men searching for His Highness the Prince. He has a group of people under his command who practice magic and have many underhanded tricks."

"Your Highness, let's leave immediately!"

Han Teng dared not linger.

If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"That person was injured by me with the Xuanyuan Sword, so he shouldn't have the courage to come any closer."

"Let's rest for the night as usual, and we can leave tomorrow."

Yuwen Tuo guessed that this was probably not one of Yang Jian's men.

Because of the repulsive aura he sensed from it, as if it were his mortal enemy.

The person who has this feeling might be a demon!

"Your Highness, you mustn't underestimate this. Let's leave immediately!"

Han Teng was unwilling to take the risk.

If something were to happen to Yuwen Tuo under his care, he would be unable to bear the responsibility.

"All right!"

Seeing his insistence, Yuwentuo wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but in the end he did not continue to force him.

The two packed up and left the inn that very night.

……

About half an hour later, Ning Ke opened her eyes.

Judging from her complexion, her injuries have healed considerably.

Unlike before, his face was frighteningly pale.

"The fragrance of books".

Once her injuries had healed somewhat, Ning Ke couldn't wait to summon the spirit of the artifact from the Mountain and Sea Secrets.

The book transformed into human form, stood beside the bed, and bowed to her.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Just now, I was affected by that sword energy and didn't know where my divine sense landed. Do you know where that place was?"

"Go back to Master, that is Yuzhou City in Sichuan."

Shuxiang truly lives up to his reputation as a master of the secrets of the mountains and seas; he knows everything.

She and Ning Ke were of one mind, and she immediately presented the mountains, rivers, terrain, and city layout of Yuzhou City to Ning Ke's mind.

How far is Yuzhou City from Chang'an?

Ning Ke's eyes lit up, and she wanted to go and check it out.

If she could complete the mission sooner, she could return to report sooner.

She doesn't need to linger in the human world, nor does she need to pretend to be a little girl and deal with those damned mortals.

"Master, I advise you not to go there. There is a very, very terrifying being there."

"His true spirit is obscured, but once it is restored, he will be a person of unparalleled terror."

Just now, at the moment Ning Ke sensed it with her divine sense, Shu Xiang also sensed that there was an unparalleled powerhouse in Yuzhou City.

She could not perceive the other party's specific existence, but only vaguely felt that the being was not to be trifled with.

Everything in the world has a traceable pattern.

However, there are some things that she, as a spirit, cannot perceive.

Powerful beings will have their own methods to conceal their aura.

Some can even ward off others' prying eyes simply by relying on their own aura.

The person who could evoke this feeling in her must be a powerful figure who is not easily approached.

"Terrifying? How terrifying could it be?"

"You little spirit, your knowledge is far too shallow!"

Ning Ke completely disregarded her instructions.

In her view, what in this world could possibly be worthy of her fear?

Now that she knows the location of the Earth Emperor, she must go and find him, complete the mission as soon as possible, and leave this body as soon as possible.

She would never have come to the human world if it weren't for the mission.

There's really nothing commendable about this place.
