Chapter 1164 Jin Xi’s Authority

Yuan turned to look at Tian Yanyu after giving her mother the sword techniques.

“Give me your hand. I will also pass down these techniques to you,” he said still with a smile on his face.

“But why…? Why are you doing so much for us when we were strangers until not long ago?” Tian Suyin asked him in a low voice.

Yuan sighed, “I want to tell you the truth, but for your safety, I cannot do so. However, please trust me when I say that I have no ulterior motives and simply want to help the Tian Family.”

“You don’t have to say anything else, Xiao Yang.” Tian Yanyu mumbled as she placed her hand on his palm.

“Your actions have long proven to me that you’re not here to harm us, so you don’t need to say another word regarding that, as I trust you with my whole being.”

Tian Yanyu’s face was visibly crimson red at this moment.

Yuan smiled at her words as he transferred the sword techniques to her.

“Just like Senior Tian, the only restriction is your ability to comprehend these techniques.”

“Thank you, Xiao Yang… Truly, thank you.”

Yuan nodded, “I will be heading deeper into the tomb now. What will the two of you do?”

“Mother?” Tian Yanyu turned to look at her.

“I would like to say that we should regroup with the sect, but we have already received enough from this place. In fact, I doubt there is anyone— besides Xiao Yang— who has received more than us from the tomb. There’s no need for us to risk our lives here anymore. Let’s leave.”

Tian Yanyu nodded, agreeing with her mother’s decision to leave the tomb.

“Alright. Then I will see you guys later.” Yuan said to them before turning to look at Jin Xi, who had been in the background this entire time.

“Jin Xi, can I trouble you one last time to guide them out of this tomb safely?” He asked her with clasped hands and his head lowered.

Jin Xi did not respond to him and turned to look at the two ladies.

“Can you confirm that you wish to leave this place entirely?” She asked them.

“Yes.” Tian Suyin nodded, as did Tian Yanyu.

“Done.”

Jin Xi suddenly snapped her fingers, and Tian Suyin and Tian Yanyu’s figure disappeared into thin air, almost as if Jin Xi had snapped them out of existence.

“What did you do to them?” Yuan asked her with a slight frown on his face.

“I forcefully teleported them out of here, exactly what they wanted,” she calmly said.

“You have such powers?” Yuan was surprised to learn this information.

“Do not underestimate my authority within this place,” she sneered in a boastful manner.

“By the way, don’t forget to grab the key.”

Jin Xi pointed at a certain area, where a blue key was stabbed into the ground.

After realizing this, Yuan used Qi Manifestation to grab the key from afar.

“Alright, where to next?” He turned to look at Jin Xi.

“Why are you asking me?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Isn’t that your job as a guide? To guide me around?” He asked.

“That does not mean I will be holding your hands and taking you on a stroll.”

“So you’re basically useless…” Yuan sighed.

“Huh?! What did you just call me?!”

“Nothing. Since there’s almost no information about the inner areas, I guess I will just have to wander around and hope that I run into something.”

He proceeded to pick a random direction that wasn’t towards where he’d come from and started flying that way.

“I dare you to call me useless again! I dare you!” Jin Xi complained as she followed him from behind.

‘Even though she’s probably Li Jinxi’s incarnation, there’s a vast difference between their characters.’ Yuan thought to himself as he tried his best to ignore her.

A week later.

“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!” A demon wearing a black-colored crystal on its right shoulder roared as it commanded the surrounding demons with a red crystal.

Over 10 demons rushed at Yuan simultaneously.

“What’s wrong? You seem to be having trouble with a mere human! Are you not ashamed to be called a demon?!” Yuan provoked them as he killed them one at a time with Sword Aura.

There were over 50 demons when the fight started, but there are less than 10 now. This caused the other demons to panic, especially the Elite Demon, who was in control of the group.

“How can a mere human kill us so easily?! He’s not even using demon sealing techniques!” The Elite Demon gritted its teeth from frustration.

“You want me to use demon sealing techniques on fake demons? Even smashing an egg with a mountain is less wasteful than that!”

“How dare a mere livestock mock me?! An Elite Demon?!”

The Elite Demon eventually joined the other demons in the fight, but alas, its presence in the battle did not affect the results even in the slightest.

After killing the last demon, Yuan sighed in a regretful tone, “It’s a true pity that they don’t leave behind their crystal in here.”

“At any rate, there’s a lot of demons in this place. Why is that?” He wondered out loud, as he encountered more demons than magical beasts.

“That’s simple. Humans are more terrified of demons than magical beasts, and they are also harder to deal with. The inner area isn’t meant for ordinary cultivators, and even top geniuses have a hard time traversing this place.”

“Is that so? Then what about the core area? Does it actually exist?”

“Yes, it exists, but that place isn’t meant for anyone, period. Despite that, three people have made it to the core.”

“Oh? Who?” Yuan asked with great interest.

“A dragon, a phoenix, and a human.”

“That’s it? At least give me a little more information.”

She shook her head and said, “Too bad, because that’s all I know.”

“Is that so? They must all be famous individuals in the upper heavens, given that they have enough talent to reach the core…” Yuan mumbled.
