Chapter 2661: Chapter 2662: Awaiting with Sharpened Swords
"So, how did it turn out?" Xue An looked at the girl who’d been speaking so confidently, and asked with clear appreciation.
"The result is pretty good. Except for a few utterly incorrigible ones, basically everyone else has truly reformed. If I tell them to go left, they definitely won’t dare go right."
Speaking of this, Wei Rulan let out a light sigh. "Of course, I know that doing this is actually very unfair to the resentful souls who died at their hands, so I’m only trying to squeeze out their remaining value as much as possible. As for those who are truly heinous beyond redemption, I’ll have them end themselves, to give the sins they committed a fair account!"
Wei Rulan stared at Xue An with bright, shining eyes. "So your answer is...?"
"I agree!"
"Huh?" Wei Rulan had never expected Xue An to agree so straightforwardly, and was momentarily stunned.
She saw Xue An stand up. "Your idea is pretty good, and it can be considered a viable path. I naturally have no reason to refuse, so I’ll agree to your two conditions!"
As he spoke, Xue An stretched out his hand. "Can you give it to me now?"
A dazzling smile slowly blossomed on Wei Rulan’s face, and then she unhesitatingly tossed the Time-Space Stone in her hand over.
She wasn’t worried about whether Xue An would go back on his word.
Because for a powerhouse who had reached his level, once they spoke, they would definitely carry it out; otherwise they’d be shouldering extra karma themselves.
But she had no way of knowing that no matter how many conditions she brought up at this moment, Xue An would agree.
Because as long as he gathered all the Time-Space Stones and reset the chaotic timelines, then everything would vanish and start over.
By then there would no longer be any Saint Diss, so Xue An agreed without any psychological burden.
When he gripped this Time-Space Stone, Xue An’s expression abruptly turned solemn.
Because he could clearly sense that this Time-Space Stone was very different from the two held by the Carter Family and the Wangui Sec.
Don’t be fooled by its small size; the pressure contained within was even more terrifying.
At the same time, Xue An felt a sudden heat between his brows, and the two Time-Space Stones he had stored in the sea of consciousness at his brow flew out in a rush, circling around the stone in his hand.
This scene also stunned Wei Rulan.
She’d never expected the ancestral stone of her family to have such power.
Just then, the Time-Space Stone in Xue An’s hand suddenly radiated a brilliant light, and then swallowed up the other two stones.
Boom!
An invisible pressure burst out from within the light, making the solid secret chamber creak and groan.
Xue An, however, showed a look of delight, then suddenly clenched his hand.
Whoosh!
A gale whipped up inside the secret chamber, blowing so hard that Wei Rulan couldn’t even open her eyes.
Finally, the gale subsided.
When she looked up again, she saw Xue An standing where he’d been, holding a smooth, jade-like stone about the size of an egg.
"Did... did it work?" Wei Rulan asked, a little excited.
Xue An lifted his gaze and smiled slightly. "You could say it pretty much worked, but there are still some things that need handling before I can make a decision."
With that, he turned and walked out.
Wei Rulan didn’t quite understand, but that didn’t affect her excitement.
Because ever since this stone was passed down to her, she had tried every possible way to experiment with it, and all of them had failed.
She’d never expected that the moment it fell into his hands, such a phenomenon would occur.
That of course aroused a deep curiosity in Wei Rulan.
The heavy door opened silently, and Xue An stepped out. The moment he crossed the threshold, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a trace of icy smile.
But that expression vanished in an instant, and Wei Rulan, following behind, didn’t notice a thing.
When they returned to the main hall, Huyue, who had been squatting in the corner dejectedly drawing circles on the floor, suddenly stood up and said in shock,
"So fast? Your body’s not up to much, huh!"
Several black lines immediately appeared on Xue An’s forehead, and in the next second Huyue’s mouth was sealed once again.
Yu Ran quietly tugged at Yu Ming’s sleeve. "Big brother, what did he mean by that?"
Yu Ming coughed. "Ah, nothing, just a very ordinary joke. You’re a girl, don’t ask too much."
Du Fan gave Yu Ming a rather curious look.
This young, famously accomplished Sword Cultivator... actually seems to know a lot!
Leaving aside Huyue, who was waving his hands and feet in protest, Xue An went straight to Zhang Tianyou, leaned in, and said something in a low voice.
Zhang Tianyou’s expression changed. "You’re sure?"
Xue An nodded.
Zhang Tianyou took a deep breath, then said with grave expression, "I understand. So when do you plan to start?"
"Soon."
Speaking, Xue An lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Because this is the only way to destroy it."
"Alright, rest easy and do it. Leave the remaining matters to me."
Their exchange left everyone else completely baffled, not understanding a word.
But from the scraps they caught and from the extreme seriousness on Zhang Tianyou’s face, it was obvious that something huge had happened.
Yu Ming stepped forward on his own. "Mr. Xue, did something happen? I, Yu Ming, though my strength is meager, am willing to do what little I can."
Looking at this young Sword Cultivator, Xue An smiled. "Don’t worry. None of you present can stay out of this, because what we’re about to do must be done with everyone united."
Everyone’s expression turned solemn, and they all answered in unison, "Yes!"
"Ababa ababa ababa!" Only Huyue was agitatedly pointing at his own mouth, meaning, hurry up and undo my Seal.
But Xue An just gave him a glance, then rose and headed out.
"There’s no time to lose. Everyone, come with me!"
They all walked out of the Saint Diss headquarters building, and saw Xue An tilt his head back to look at the pitch-black night sky.
"Miss Wei!"
"Here!"
"How much power do you command in your hands right now?"
"Um, about..."
Xue An waved his hand. "Forget it, no need to say. No matter how much power you have, bring it all out and seal off as much of the void as you can!"
"Huh?"
Wei Rulan thought she’d misheard, but the solemn look on Xue An’s face showed he wasn’t joking. Her mind spun quickly, and she immediately nodded.
"Understood, I’ll do it right away!"
With that, she and Wei Ruyan hurried off.
In an instant, this previously calm Starry Domain became bustling.
From star after star, countless ships rose into the sky, forming dark, dense fleets in the void.
This grand scene moved many people; only Xue An remained expressionless, softly calling out,
"Yu Ming!"
Yu Ming froze for a second, then stepped forward.
"Yu Ming is here!"
Xue An glanced at him. "Is your sword sharp?"
