Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
As the Left Envoy’s words landed, the atmosphere in the field grew tense.
No one had expected the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to back Ye Xuan so fiercely, even to the point of opposing the Demon Sect!
This was the Demon Sect!
Though the pavilion was a mighty force, was the Demon Sect a pushover? They were a pack of man-eating demons! And this was Demon God City, their home turf!
Had the Immortal Treasure Pavilion lost its mind?
Everyone thought they’d gone mad!
Ye Xuan was also caught off guard. He hadn’t expected the pavilion to protect him so staunchly.
The most surprised was Kui Shen. He’d assumed the pavilion was just going through the motions, but they were serious, which threw him off.
Kui Shen glanced at Ye Xuan again, curiosity stirring. What was Ye Xuan’s connection to the pavilion that they’d risk enmity with the Demon Sect to protect him?
At that moment, over a dozen experts suddenly appeared around Ye Xuan.
All were from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, most at the fifth stage!
Ye Xuan looked at the Celestial Envoy, about to speak, when she cut in, “Young Master Ye, no need for words. You hold the Mysterious Heaven Token—you’re our pavilion’s guest. We will keep you safe!”
“Is that so?”
A voice suddenly came from the side.
Not far off, a middle-aged man approached slowly. Bare-chested, he wore only simple fur pants.
Seeing him, the Celestial Envoy’s face darkened.
Yao Ye!
Hall Master of the Ancient Demon Hall!
Two hall masters had appeared!
Yao Ye strolled up to the envoys, eyeing the Left Envoy. “Immortal Treasure Pavilion—pretty impressive, huh?”
The Left Envoy laughed heartily. Without a word, he threw a punch.
A flicker of disdain crossed Yao Ye’s eyes. He countered with a punch of his own.
*Boom!*
As their fists met, the Left Envoy was sent flying back nearly ten thousand meters.
In raw strength, the Left Envoy was no match for a demon!
Stopping himself, the Left Envoy opened his palm, and a flame surged from his hand. The next moment, he vanished.
*Whoosh!*
The sky above Demon God City turned into a blood-red sea of fire!
In the distance, Yao Ye’s eyes narrowed. He stepped forward, clenching his right fist. As the flames reached him, he unleashed a punch, a torrent of power pouring out like a flood!
*Boom!*
The fire wave was halted by the terrifying force, but Yao Ye frowned. His fist had begun to burn!
Seeing this, Yao Ye shook his right hand fiercely.
*Boom!*
The flames shattered, and both man and demon recoiled, leaving the sky in chaos.
The Left Envoy, stopping, was about to strike again when the Celestial Envoy held him back. She looked at Yao Ye. “Hall Master Yao Ye, is there truly no room for reconciliation?”
Yao Ye sneered. “Reconciliation? How? This man killed over a dozen of our demons, and you talk of reconciliation? Fine—bring me his head!”
The Celestial Envoy’s eyes turned icy.
Yao Ye continued, “Celestial Envoy, if your pavilion backs off now, we’ll pretend this never happened. But if you insist on interfering, none of you will leave here alive today!”
The Celestial Envoy’s lips curled in disdain. “With just you?”
Her voice fell, and she opened her palm. A token shot skyward, and in an instant, a massive, radiant lotus bloomed in the starry depths.
“Immortal Gathering Token!”
Someone in the crowd gasped.
The Immortal Gathering Token—when activated, all Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts across the myriad realms were required to rush to the scene at top speed.
This token’s appearance meant countless experts would soon flood Demon God City.
This wasn’t a small matter—it was colossal!
At that moment, a savage glint flashed in Yao Ye’s eyes. He opened his palm, and a black token shot into the starry sky!
“Beast Demon Token!”
Another gasp from the crowd.
With this token, the ten demon kings were obligated to bring their strongest forces to Demon God City at once!
This was war!
In the shadows, some experts, horrified, began fleeing.
A clash of titans would wreak havoc on bystanders!
Time to run!
Yao Ye suddenly declared, “Demon beasts of the four halls, hear my command: anyone entering Demon God City without permission—kill without mercy!”
Kill without mercy!
Demon beasts from the four halls soared into the sky, sealing off Demon God City’s borders.
Yao Ye glared at the Celestial Envoy, his expression ferocious, pointing at Ye Xuan. “Today, no one can save him. I, Yao Ye, have spoken!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The Celestial Envoy stepped beside Ye Xuan and looked at him. “Follow us and break out when the time comes!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Lady Xian, the cost of this is too great!”
She shook her head. “Now’s not the time to weigh pros and cons. Young Master Ye, your strength is remarkable. When our pavilion’s experts arrive, break out with us.”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the Celestial Envoy looked to the starry sky. “Our people are here!”
In the sky above Demon God City, Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts arrived, only to be intercepted by the four halls’ forces. But more pavilion experts kept coming.
Below, Yao Ye suddenly glared at the Celestial Envoy, his face savage. “Kill!”
With that, he charged at the Left Envoy.
The Left Envoy didn’t back down, rushing forward.
The Celestial Envoy said gravely, “Young Master Ye, be careful!”
She transformed into a beam of white light, charging at Kui Shen. The pavilion’s experts surrounded Ye Xuan, but they were soon overwhelmed by Demon God City’s forces.
In the chaos, Ye Xuan closed his eyes, his Qingxuan Sword long gone.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. The moment he did, countless Demon God City experts’ faces changed. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded—their heads began flying off, one after another…
One Sword Slashes the Future!
It wasn’t a sword he’d just unleashed, but one from earlier, during the talks. He hadn’t used the Qingxuan Sword, knowing Yun Chuan would notice. Even without it, this future-slashing sword was beyond what most Demon God City experts could withstand!
In moments, over a dozen fell, including some fifth-stage demonic beasts!
The eerie scene stunned Yao Ye and Kui Shen!
At that moment, Ye Xuan looked up. A chilling glint appeared at his brow.
Ye Xuan remained calm. A sword-shield materialized above him.
Qingxuan Sword Shield!
*Boom!*
The shield trembled, and Ye Xuan, with the shield, was sent flying back nearly a thousand meters. As he stopped, the glint reappeared, swift as lightning.
Ye Xuan stayed composed, the Qingxuan Sword Shield blocking again!
*Boom!*
The shield shook, the force sending Ye Xuan and shield reeling back!
As he retreated, the glint pursued like a parasite.
Ye Xuan remained unshaken.
I’ll block!
Qing’er said only four people in the world could break the Qingxuan Sword, and three were on his side. What did he have to fear?
Plus, his physique was tough. As long as he wasn’t killed in one blow, he’d never die.
*Bang!*
Ye Xuan was sent flying again!
He was constantly suppressed, but the glint couldn’t break his shield.
Moments later, the glint stopped.
Ye Xuan looked ahead. A man stood not far off, a horn on his head, a beast scale between his brows, wielding a long spear!
Ye Xuan frowned. Another hall master?
Supervisor Xiao’s voice rang in his mind. “Young Master Ye, this is Chi Xiu, a top prodigy of Demon God City’s younger generation, now at the sixth stage. Be careful!”
Younger generation!
Ye Xuan eyed Chi Xiu, who glanced at Ye Xuan’s sword and sneered. “Without that sword, I’d kill you in one move!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “You sure?”
Chi Xiu stared at him. “Dare to fight without it?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I dare!”
With that, the Qingxuan Sword vanished.
Chi Xiu’s eyes narrowed. “You’re a man, at least!”
As he prepared to strike, Ye Xuan said, “Wait!”
Chi Xiu frowned. “What, backing out?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No, just a small question!”
He glanced around. “Where’s your sect leader?”
Sect leader!
He’d been wary of the mysterious leader, but so far, neither he nor the pagoda had sensed them.
The pagoda had said there were two possibilities: either the leader wasn’t here, or they were so strong they’d only be detected when they acted!
Ye Xuan chose to believe the latter.
A mocking smirk crossed Chi Xiu’s lips. “The sect leader? You think you’re worthy of their attention?”
Ye Xuan looked at Chi Xiu. “Young demon, don’t be so cocky. You—”
Chi Xiu vanished.
He struck!
Many die from talking too much!
So he acted first, no nonsense, seizing the initiative.
But as he reached Ye Xuan, his pupils shrank. He instinctively raised his spear to block.
*Whoosh!*
A tearing sound echoed, and a sword pierced Chi Xiu’s brow.
One Sword Slashes the Future!
Chi Xiu froze, staring at Ye Xuan, bewildered. “You… didn’t you say you wouldn’t use that sword?”
Ye Xuan looked at him, exasperated. “Brother, you think we’re playing house? This is a life-or-death fight! Next life, bring your brain to a fight. It’s kind of important—don’t lose it!”
Chi Xiu, hearing this, felt a surge of rage he couldn’t release. He died.
