Covering the Sky: The Ruthless Empress's Brother, Becoming an Emperor Through Biting!

The edge of the desolate forbidden land remained as deathly silent as ever.

Jiang Xuan and his three companions appeared here so abruptly.

Jiang Tingting tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve, curiously surveying this land that instinctively made her feel oppressed.

"Uncle, is the 'professional' you mentioned here?" Pang Bo muttered softly.

He clenched his fists, his divine power flowing slowly through his body, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Ye Fan frowned as well. He felt that his uncle's actions this time were even less reliable than going to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"Don't make a sound."

Jiang Xuan gestured for them to be quiet.

He walked alone at the front, his eyes scanning the surrounding wilderness.

Finally, he stopped.

A man was sitting on a boulder not far from them.

A white-haired, ragged old madman.

He seemed out of place in this world.

He would sometimes jump off the stones and run around on the ground, muttering incomprehensible ravings.

She would stop at times, face the direction of the forbidden area, and burst into tears.

"It's him." A glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes.

"Uncle, you..."

Just as Ye Fan was about to stop him, Jiang Xuan strode forward.

He ignored the extremely tense looks in Ye Fan and Pang Bo's eyes and shouted:

"Senior Tianxuan, please wait!"

The sound carried far and wide.

For a moment, it was as if time stood still.

The old madman who was running around on the ground, acting crazy, suddenly froze.

"Tian... Xuan..."

He muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the old madman turned around!

"boom--!"

A terrifying, suffocating pressure, like a bursting dam, erupted from his thin body, sweeping across the surrounding area!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Ye Fan and Pang Bo couldn't even hold on for a single breath in the face of this oppressive force!

They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, as if their souls were about to be frozen.

Faced with this power, they were as insignificant as dust.

Their legs trembled uncontrollably, their bones creaking under the strain, and they almost collapsed to their knees.

"This...is..." Pang Bo's teeth chattered.

Ye Fan's face was also deathly pale. He desperately circulated his divine power, and the golden sea of ​​bitterness roared, but he still could not resist the pressure that penetrated to the bone marrow.

However, when this terrifying pressure, powerful enough to crush mountains, swept over Jiang Xuan, a strange thing happened.

The oppressive aura parted automatically from both sides of Jiang Xuan's body, like a tidal wave.

The Nine-Colored Immortal Cauldron within his body trembled slightly, isolating all the oppressive force from the outside.

Jiang Xuan remained standing in the same spot, his clothes unmoved, his expression calm, as if he had only been blown by a gentle breeze and was completely unharmed.

"Um?"

The old madman's eyes, which were originally murky and filled with madness and sorrow, suddenly became much clearer at this moment.

His gaze passed over Ye Fan and Pang Bo, and fixed intently on Jiang Xuan, the only one standing.

The old madman's mind cleared up considerably.

His chapped lips trembled slightly.

"Young friend..."

His voice was filled with the vicissitudes of time.

"How do you know that I am Tianxuan's disciple?"

The old madman became agitated.

He swayed, as if he was about to rush over.

Jiang Xuan remained calm and unhurried. He simply stepped to the side and shielded the somewhat frightened Jiang Tingting behind him.

This small movement caused the old madman to pause slightly.

"Of course I know that you are a successor of the Tianxuan Holy Land."

Jiang Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice calm and resolute, as if stating a fact.

"Because not long ago, I encountered the previous Heavenly Princess of Xuan in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

"And the aura emanating from you, senior, is very similar to that of that saintess."

"What?!"

"You...you..."

The old madman was struck dumb, frozen in place.

His eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze, which had just regained its clarity.

"You...came out alive from inside?!"

He guarded the forbidden area for countless years, never daring to step inside again.

This young man, who looks no more than at the Life Spring Realm, actually claims to have come out of there? And he even saw his junior sister?

Seeing the old madman's shocked expression, Jiang Xuan knew that the fish had taken the bait.

He smiled faintly, revealing his charlatan-like demeanor.

"That's natural."

Jiang Xuan spoke as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Entering the ancient forbidden land felt like coming home."

"..."

"..."

Behind them, Ye Fan and Pang Bo were struggling to stand up, barely managing to resist the lingering force.

Upon hearing this, they nearly coughed up blood.

Uncle, you're exaggerating a lot.

But the old madman believed it.

Or rather, he dared not disbelieve.

This is the only way to explain why this young man could disregard his divine authority.

Although he never intended to kill these young people with his overwhelming power.

At this point, Jiang Xuan continued to administer strong medicine.

"Moreover, it seems that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan has not completely lost her intelligence."

"She still has a chance to recover."

"boom!"

These words struck the old madman like a bolt of lightning from the heavens.

His aged body trembled violently.

"There...is still...a possibility of recovery..."

His lips trembled, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his cloudy old eyes.

This eternal wait, these mad years...

Is this the end?

"Yes." Jiang Xuan noticed the change in his expression and immediately pressed his advantage.

He stepped forward, looked directly into the old madman's eyes, and uttered that classic line in a seductive yet heavy tone.

"Senior, you don't want that saintess to fall completely, do you?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the old madman fell silent.

His eyes were instantly overwhelmed by endless pain and struggle.

He did not want.

He never wanted to!

He's here, acting crazy, guarding this place, isn't it all for that one in ten thousand chance?

for a long time.

The oppressive aura emanating from the old madman slowly subsided.

He looked at Jiang Xuan and asked in a deep voice:

"Young friend, what do you need me to do?"

He knew that the young man was negotiating with him.

"It's done."

Jiang Xuan was secretly delighted, but his face remained calm.

"It's very simple."

He turned to the side, letting the old madman see behind him, where Jiang Tingting was peeking out with her little head, curiously looking at him.

"This child has a Yin constitution."

"I would like to ask you, senior, to pass on the 'True Scripture of Taiyin' to her."

"By the way."

Jiang Xuantu revealed his true colors.

"Be our protectors."

"The Taiyin True Scripture..." The old madman glanced at Jiang Tingting, then looked at Jiang Xuan, "Why should I..."

"Based on this."

Jiang Xuan raised three fingers, his expression solemn.

"I can swear."

"I have a way to free the Holy Maiden Tianxuan from her status as a slave!"

"..."

The old madman stared intently at Jiang Xuan.

He tried to see through the young man's soul.

He wanted to know whether this guy was a fraud or his only hope.

however.

Jiang Xuan's body was concealed by the aura of the Nine-Colored Immortal Cauldron.

In the eyes of the old madman, Jiang Xuan was an unfathomable chaos.

He couldn't see through anything.

Instead, he sensed a deadly danger from this chaos that made his heart pound!

This young man is extraordinary!

Finally, the old madman closed his eyes.

Driven by that one in ten thousand chance, he agreed to Jiang Xuan's conditions.

"Alright," the old madman uttered a single word, then said, "I agree."
