Chapter 175: How Is This Possible, Shocking Everyone

“Ye Xuan… you… aren’t you afraid of the evil energy on this sword?!” Seeing Ye Xuan holding the sword directly with no precautions, Qingxue couldn’t help but ask in shock.

For cultivators, unless they have fallen into the demonic path, how could they not fear being enveloped by evil energy?

“I am not unafraid of the evil energy.” Ye Xuan said with a smile, “Rather, this sword has submitted to me; it dares not harm me.”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan’s expression became stern, the radiance of the sword in his hand dimmed further, and no longer showed any trace of malice.

If everyone hadn’t just witnessed the terrifying potential for destruction of this sword, they might think it was just an ordinary sword.

“You… how did you do this…?” As she spoke, Qingxue’s gaze involuntarily drifted towards the sword in Ye Xuan’s hand.

The power of that evil sword, if it were to erupt in the hands of someone with cultivation similar to hers, she might not be safe either.

Such a terrifying force of an evil sword, yet Ye Xuan could completely control it–!

“Impossible–!!!” At this moment, the people of the Jade Fox Palace came running over, all with faces of disbelief.

Seeing the Demonic Origin Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, they all widened their eyes. Ye Xuan had subdued the evil sword so easily?!

“Ye Xuan… do you feel any discomfort?” Hu Qianzao asked Ye Xuan with a worried face.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, “There is no discomfort.”

“Could it be that the power of this evil sword has been exhausted, and that anomaly just now was its last burst of power?” While Hu Lan was helping Ren Bai recover his energy, she asked Ye Xuan.

“Hehe.” Hearing this, Ye Xuan did not say much but pointed the evil sword towards the sky. The next moment, a surge of evil energy bursted forth from the Demonic Origin Sword.

The evil energy soared into the sky, instantly turning it a dark purple-black.

“My God–!!”

“This… this evil sword… Such dense evil energy.”

“Ye Xuan can completely control the power of this evil sword, who… who is he really–!!!”

For a moment, the people of the Jade Fox Palace looked at Ye Xuan in amazement. The evil sword controlled by Ye Xuan made the less experienced disciples show signs of fear.

Their gaze towards Ye Xuan began to carry a sense of reverence. Although Ye Xuan was only in the Spiritual Insight realm, his strength, his performance, was clearly not on their level.

Perhaps, with the power of the evil sword in his hand, Ye Xuan could even face an immortal without falling short, just like Yi Xie before.

“This sword is very evil, and its forging technique is not very sophisticated.” Qingxue said to Ye Xuan.

“Ye Xuan, although I don’t know why you can control this sword’s power, I advise you not to use this sword.”

“Seal it immediately and let the elder swordsmith of the Taihua Sect take a good look at it to avoid any calamity.” As she spoke, she looked at Ye Xuan somewhat nervously.

Truthfully, she was quite worried that Ye Xuan might become obsessed with the power of the sword and be unwilling to seal it away.

“This sword is definitely not something that cultivators should use. This is natural.” Ye Xuan said: “This sword is only so docile in my hands; if it were to fall into others’ hands, or if its power were to be activated, it would surely cause devastation.”

Ye Xuan knew very well how terrifying the evil energy in the sword he held was.

Evil energy that even cultivators cannot withstand; if he were to use this sword in battle, the mere eruption of its evil energy could render a thousand miles barren.

Ordinary beings tainted by evil energy, even if they are lucky enough not to die, would turn into mindless, evil creatures. Such a weapon should not be used.

At least, it is not something the current Ye Xuan should use.

“In that case, let me seal this sword first.” Qingxue was genuinely worried about Ye Xuan being influenced by the evil sword, she said to him.

“Hmm.” Ye Xuan nodded, gathered the evil energy from the sword, and then held it out to Qingxue.

Qing Xue immediately activated the Taihua Sealing Technique, thoroughly sealing the evil energy in the sword held by Ye Xuan.

With that, even Ye Xuan could no longer activate the power of the sword.

…

At this time, Yi Xie was returning through a spatial rift to the Evil Sky Sect’s base with a group of sect members.

His face showed a bit of sullenness, “That damned brat, making me look so disgraceful… Hmph, it’s his own fault. If he had let us leave, I wouldn’t have thrown the Demonic Origin Sword to him.”

Saying this, he slightly curled his lips, showing a hint of smugness.

“But they must be struggling to deal with the Demonic Origin Sword right now, hahaha.”

His golden pupils looked towards the man sitting at the head, Yi Xie bowed and said, “Lord, was the first eruption of the Demonic Origin Sword’s power, in front of those righteous cultivators, to your satisfaction?!”

“Display of power?” Hearing this, the skeletal-armored man sitting at the head slightly frowned and said coldly, “I didn’t see any display of power from the Demonic Origin Sword, I only saw that the sword you sent out was easily controlled by someone else.”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Yi Xie pondered for a moment and asked, “Lord, are you saying… that my Demonic Origin Sword was suppressed by those righteous cultivators?.”

“That’s not surprising, they have so many immortals, suppressing one Demonic Origin Sword should be easy… It’s a pity, I couldn’t see the sword erupting.”

Saying this, he showed a bit of regret, then gleefully added, “But they must have had a hard time stopping the power of the Demonic Origin Sword, the scene must have been quite disheveled…”

“Hehe, disheveled?” Hearing this, the leader of the Evil Sky Sect sneered, “Ye Xuan easily held the Demonic Origin Sword in his hands, it obeyed him even better than it did in your hands.”

“Lord, are you joking with me, how could that be possible, hahaha.” Saying this, Yi Xie turned his gaze towards the direction of the Jade Fox Palace’s scene.

Then, he saw the scene of Ye Xuan casually holding the sword in his hand.

“Uh…”

At this moment, not only Yi Xie was stunned, but even Gu Li and Xue Po on the side showed shocked expressions.

When the Demonic Origin Sword first appeared, even they, who specialized in cultivating evil energy, felt that the sword was terrifying and difficult to tame.

But unexpectedly, such a terrifying evil sword was now being held by a righteous cultivator?! How is this possible–!!!
