206: The murderous intent of Yipintang (Part 1)

When Chu Ying spread his traces within Holy Sky City, some people indeed started to stir.

However, it wasn't the Demon Art Inheritor, but rather the Netherworld First Grade Hall.

In the Eastern Wilderness Central Region, there was a branch of the Netherworld First Grade Hall.

This particular branch was the main headquarters of the Netherworld First Grade Hall in the Eastern Wilderness.

The sheer scale of this demonic sect was actually far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

The reason why the various Holy Lands and Ancient Families in the Eastern Wilderness had always tolerated the Netherworld First Grade Hall and dared not wage a full-scale war against them was because the other party was not only powerful but also had a mysterious origin.

It was said that the true headquarters of the Netherworld First Grade Hall was hidden in the Central Province of Origin Star.

The ancient Central Province was full of hidden talents, and the Netherworld First Grade Hall might have moved and developed elsewhere a long time ago, but it still maintained important branches in the Eastern Wilderness.

At this moment.

Many powerful individuals from the various factions behind the Netherworld First Grade Hall's Seven Fiend Star Envoys had already emerged.

The news of the complete annihilation of the Upper Generation Seven Fiends Star Envoy shocked the experts of all factions, and some Saintly Beings appeared.

This included the Sunset Saint, Revered Master of the Sun Chasing Star Envoy who had previously fought against the Feng Family.

In the Netherworld First Grade Hall, only those who reached the Saint Lord Realm had a certain right to speak.

"It's Chu Ying again! This child has challenged our Netherworld First Grade Hall repeatedly!"

Initially, the Netherworld First Grade Hall only knew that the Upper Generation Seven Fiends Star Envoy had died, as their Soul Jade Tablets were kept in the branch and would shatter upon death.

However, they didn't know who had killed them.

It wasn't until the commotion at the Tianxuan Holy Land spread throughout the vast Central Region that the Netherworld First Grade Hall finally reacted.

It turned out that the Upper Generation Seven Fiend Star Envoys, led by Lu Chen, had all died at Chu Ying's hands!

No wonder the three Holy Daughters of Eastern Linjieshi and one Celestial Pivot Holy Daughter could return alive; it would have been impossible without outside intervention.

And it should be noted that the guardians of these Holy Daughters had already been tied down by the Saintly Beings they sent out, so they couldn't have saved anyone.

Yet, they still failed, proving that even the most meticulous plans can have an oversight.

Or perhaps no one expected Chu Ying to appear.

"If we don't kill this child, I fear the world will think our Netherworld First Grade Hall is not as formidable as before," a Saintly Being from the Black Sword Star Envoy's faction said coldly, his expression very grim.

Fortunately, his faction still had Lv Yi, who possessed a Congenital Sword Dao Sacred Bone and excellent talent. His cultivation had already entered the Human Soul Palace, showing extremely rapid progress.

"This person has repeatedly challenged the prestige of our Netherworld First Grade Hall, making him even more detestable than the likes of Thunder Punishment Holy Land. Since the Disciples of our seven factions have fallen into his hands, this revenge must naturally be exacted."

"However, how should we exact it?"

Another Saintly Being from the Rising Sun faction spoke in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, do not forget that Chu Ying's background is somewhat complex. He originally came from Tai Xuan Holy Land, and later developed a close relationship with White-browed Eagle King, the Ancient Heavenly Devil Peng of the Demon Clan. According to our intelligence, White-browed Eagle King is likely to break through to the Great Saint Realm and very possibly become the first Great Saint in the Eastern Wilderness of this era. At that time, he will undoubtedly possess unparalleled prestige and power, making it difficult even for us to confront him directly."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, becoming very complex, filled with envy and jealousy.

The Great Saint Realm is even above the Saint Lord Realm.

It can be understood this way: a Saint Lord is merely a minor accomplishment in the Saint Realm, while the Great Saint Realm is a major accomplishment.

It's like cultivating a set of Techniques and Martial Skills; the power at minor accomplishment and the power at major accomplishment are almost as different as heaven and earth, a vast disparity.

Among ten thousand Saint Lord Realm Cultivators, at most, only one can be a Half-Step Great Saint.

Only among one million Saint Lord Realm Cultivators might a true Great Saint Realm existence be born.

In this current era, a Great Saint Realm individual is undoubtedly a true peak-level figure, without exception.

As for a Celestial Venerable, who surpasses a Great Saint?

Look at that Celestial Venerable in the Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum; does he dare to step out of the Immortal Tomb?

Absolutely not, because once he comes out, he will face the danger of being obliterated by the Heavenly Dao; it's not a possibility, but a certainty.

This is one of the differences between Restricted Areas and forces like Holy Lands and Ancient Families.

Therefore, whether in the Eastern Wilderness or the more distant Central Province, a Great Saint is absolutely the strongest being on this star, the strongest who can move freely without restriction.

White-browed Eagle King is about to enter the Great Saint Realm, becoming the first person in the Eastern Wilderness of this era to enter the Great Saint Realm, naturally inciting both envy and jealousy.

"Indeed, that White-browed Eagle King is not to be trifled with, but our Netherworld First Grade Hall has no grievances with him, and even less so with the Demon Clan."

A female Saintly Being from the Yinghuo faction spoke, her voice cold and low.

"Furthermore, Chu Ying is also the Consort of the Immortal Tomb. It is expected that while that Celestial Venerable of the Immortal Tomb cannot emerge, as long as he is on the land of the Eastern Wilderness... no Saint Lord Realm individual can kill Chu Ying."

A very high-level, extremely senior Nine-Step Saint Lord spoke indifferently. This was an old man in green robes, from the Feiyu faction.

If he were in the various Holy Lands, a Nine-Step Saint Lord's cultivation would definitely be at the Old Ancestor level.

Unless a Half-Step Great Saint appears, who can contend with him?

At these words, everyone fell silent. Yes, that Celestial Venerable could not emerge, but the terror of a Celestial Venerable... had already exceeded their imagination.

How could a Celestial Venerable allow someone he valued to be killed by a powerful expert?

Even if he cannot emerge, it is conceivable that with a single thought, the Great Dream Celestial Venerable, who resides in the Immortal Tomb, could summon power to cross time and space to kill someone, provided he has locked onto the opponent's Qi mechanism.

And this Qi mechanism, of course, would be derived from Chu Ying.

"As for the Celestial Pivot Holy Land, there's no need to mention it," someone else added.

Everyone fell silent once again.

"Black Sword, can your faction's Lv Yi kill this Chu Ying?" At this moment, someone looked towards the Saintly Being of the Black Sword faction.

"Lv Yi possesses the Congenital Sword Dao Sacred Bone and is highly valued by the Young Revered Master. Besides the resources provided by your faction, he has also received some resource allocation from the Young Revered Master. Surely Lv Yi should now have the strength to kill that Chu Ying, right?"

The speaker was the Sunset Saint from the Sun Chasing Star Envoy's faction.

He was the most aggrieved and indignant one, because both the current and previous generations of Disciples in his faction had died. While other factions had also suffered deaths, they had only lost one person, so he naturally felt unbalanced.

As they discussed how to exact revenge, his eyes flashed, and he thought of the Black Sword faction, which was currently the most prominent among the Seven Fiends factions.

"Lv Yi is only at the first heaven of the Human Soul Palace. If it's about killing ordinary young Tianjiao, there's naturally no problem."

The Saintly Being of the Black Sword faction spoke indifferently, glancing at the Sunset Saint, then changed the subject:

"But Chu Ying cannot be judged by conventional wisdom; his rise is too bizarre. This child is currently still at the Cave Heaven Realm cultivation, undoubtedly not because he cannot break through, but because he has the ambition to impact the Nine-Cavern. His strength is also not to be underestimated; the Thunder Punishment Holy Son, who is at the third heaven of the Heaven Soul Palace, was easily defeated by him."

"Conservatively estimated, this person's combat power level is at least above Six Restrictions, and with eight Cave Heavens, Lv Yi may not be his match."

The Sunset Saint sneered, "The Six Restrictions combat power level already includes his capital of eight Cave Heavens, right? Even if a Cave Heaven Realm Ninth Layer crosses six Realms, isn't he only at the third layer of the Earth Soul Palace?"
