Immortal of the Ages
Chapter 395: Adorable Sidekick!

Their pupils shook violently.

"How can this be?"

Nobody could believe it. But the terrifying truth was right in front of them.

"That was Primordial Son's most treasured gift in his life, a symbol of his status and identity..."

Just gone like that? This was more explosive than giving away your bride to a stranger on your wedding day! And the kicker? The Primordial Son himself handed it over with open arms...

How was the Primordial Son feeling? Every eye trembled as they turned to him. His eyes were wider than bell clappers, streaked with scarlet veins, his mouth agape, each tooth quivering in its own direction.

Even his throat was stretched wide, but not a sound could he make! Even his face, for a moment, cracked with lines. It was truly splitting apart! If the face cracked, the heart must have shattered too.

Anyone could see how much that Calamity Bone meant to him.

What's worse, it was a gift from the Human Zenith Immortal, meant to be shared, and now it was just sucked away... Wasn't this the biggest joke?

Not only did he lose the most precious treasure of his life, but he was also set to become a laughingstock in history!

The Primordial Son glared at Yun Xiao, breathing heavily, his throat still bulging, smoke billowing out, yet not a word could he utter.

The whole banquet hall was as silent as the grave.

"Uh..." Yun Xiao, with a flick of his wrist, raised his azure Sword Soul before the Primordial Son, saying, "My apologies, Primordial Son. I had no idea this treasure was so fragile. What's to be done now? Maybe the Human Zenith Immortal might grace you with another?"

At that, the Primordial Son spat out a mouthful of black blood, nearly splattering Yun Xiao.

"Quick, fetch an immortal doctor!" Yun Xiao exclaimed in shock.

Hearing this, the Primordial Son lost it completely. Shoving aside those supporting him, his bloodshot eyes zeroed in on Yun Xiao.

With a swift motion, he unsheathed his sword, charging at Yun Xiao with murderous intent. His Sword Soul shimmered in gold and black, adorned with seven Sword Rings and enveloped in over 80,000 layers of Sword Aura. This Celestial Sword Soul was rumored to be of the Yang grade, a Sword Soul Sovereign!

"Thirteen and already in the Genesis Spirit Realm?" Yun Xiao's eyes twinkled with a mischievous light. "Can't take a joke, can we?"

It started as a game of shadows, but when that failed, things turned deadly serious.

"Thanks to your generous gift, I've advanced to the Establishment Heaven Sanctuary Realm," Yun Xiao quipped.

What a banquet it turned out to be! Fine wine, breaking through in cultivation, power leveling his Sword Aura, and driving a rival to spew blood—life couldn't be sweeter.

"Finish him!" The cold gaze of the descendants from the various immortal families filled the room.

"A mere Heaven Sanctuary Realm trash, without even a Genesis Spirit... Such a pity for the treasure!" Song Bomei's eyes flashed with a mix of coldness and pain.

"Lian Xi..." Liu Yingying's face paled with fear, calling out in desperation. She had no fondness for Yun Xiao, but found the idea of killing under these circumstances distasteful.

As the Primordial Son made his move, a whirlwind of thoughts raced through everyone's minds. But his strike, swift as lightning, was aimed straight at Yun Xiao.

"Die!" Huyan Luo's face twisted with malice, abandoning all pretense of dignity.

Yet, facing him, Yun Xiao's eyes danced with scorn.

KLANG! In an instant, Yun Xiao's 300,000 layer Sword Aura transformed into a Palm Sword. Standing his ground, he countered with a dragon-like thrust, his blade meeting the Primordial Son's Celestial Sword Soul head-on.

With a clash that could pierce ears, the moment froze.

"AGH!" Huyan Luo's face twisted in agony as his sword cracked under the pressure.

Yun Xiao, with a forceful shove, sent Huyan Luo to his knees, the impact so fierce it drew blood from his legs.

And Yun Xiao wasn't done; he pressed his sword down, right onto Huyan Luo's head, his Sword Aura shredding hair and marking the scalp with lines of pain.

The silence that followed was deafening.

Just as Huyan Luo made his move, and the scions from the various immortal families of the Primordial Ruins thought this would save his face, Yun Xiao turned the tables, stunning everyone with a single stroke.

"Heaven Sanctuary Realm besting a Genesis Spirit Realm prodigy with one sword!" Liu Yingying's lips parted in shock, nearly losing her balance.

Not just her, but Song Bomei and others felt a chill run down their spine.

Even Lian Xi was taken aback, having only dreamed of such prowess. This was a pleasant surprise to her.

And there stood Huyan Luo, blood dripping, his long-awaited birthday banquet turned into a nightmare. He lost his treasure and was brought to his knees before a stranger, all under watchful eyes.

But then, shadows loomed behind Huyan Luo, a group of formidable figures shrouded in darkness ready to stand by him.

At the same time, allies appeared behind Lian Xi, ready for a standoff, the very reason Huyan Luo had held back his recklessness.

No words were exchanged, yet the air crackled with hostility.

"Yun Xiao!" Song Bomei stepped forward, his Ice River Sword Soul in hand, his voice cold as ice, "Release the Primordial Son now, and you might just have a way out!"

At 17, his talent might not have matched that of Huyan Luo, but he'd long surpassed the Genesis Spirit Realm in strength, naturally outmatching Huyan Luo and piling on the pressure for Yun Xiao.

His stepping in seemed to say, "Let the youngsters hash it out."

"A way out?" Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow at Song Bomei, his tone even, "Pray tell, what wrong have I done? Wasn't I invited by the Primordial Son to partake in the treasure? We agreed no hard feelings, so why the attempt on my life?"

"You knew full well you could snatch it away, this was deliberate theft!" Song Bomei accused, his voice frosty.

"Was it now?" Yun Xiao's smile didn't waver as he presented his palm, revealing some bug shells. "Then, might I inquire about the Soul-Eating Gu attached to the Calamity Bone marrow I absorbed? A charming little gift with a lethal touch?"

The accusation struck Huyan Luo and Song Bomei like lightning, leaving the faces of the young scions twisted in bizarre expressions, only now grasping the Primordial Son's intentions.

What floored them more was Yun Xiao's insight, turning their scheme on its head.

"He who seeks to harm others often harms himself," Yun Xiao stated, sending Huyan Luo flying with a kick. "I wonder, will the Mysterious Sword Manor share in the shame once this tale spreads?"

With that, he wrapped an arm around Lian Xi and walked away, leaving a trail of venomous stares behind.

"Wait for me!" Liu Yingying followed in a daze, her mind a blank slate.

The powerhouses of the Primordial Academy exchanged looks, a hint of surprise in their eyes before they vanished into the night.

Outside, Lian Xi's deep gaze found Yun Xiao. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Your master said, standing by your side, even doing nothing, could be deadly," Yun Xiao replied with a smile.

"And so?"

"I decided to stir up the storm myself, make myself the center of it," he declared. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"What about me?" Lian Xi pouted.

"You?" Yun Xiao patted her waist lightly. "You can be my adorable little sidekick."
