92: Shocked to see the enemy
The two words, light as wind rustling through purple bamboo leaves, yet like two slaps, fiercely struck the faces of the Burning Heaven PalaceEveryone.
"You're courting death!"
Lie Tianxiong's surrounding flame Spiritual Qi exploded with a "boom," the crimson Spiritual Light making his robes shine.
He clenched his fists, knuckles white, about to rush forward and tear this loose-tongued fatty to shreds. In all these years, no one had dared to publicly humiliate him like this!
Uh, except for that one beating...
"Palace Master! No!"
Yan Cangyun, quick-witted, grabbed Lie Tianxiong's arm, who was about to act again. The Secret Realm hadn't opened yet; acting now would only make other forces laugh.
Yan Cangyun looked at the still fuming Lie Tianxiong beside him, feeling his temples throb and an unspeakable weariness filling his heart.
The Secret Realm's profound light hadn't fully illuminated, yet the Palace Master had already flared up and tried to act multiple times due to a few words from Yun Canghai and Shi Wanshan. Being the Burning Heaven Palace Grand Elder was more exhausting than guiding a group of restless Disciples in Cultivation.
The Second Elder behind him, seeing this scene, was about to smile but suddenly froze, the muscles on his face twitching unnaturally.
He secretly pinched his thigh, quickly lowered his head, and covered his face with his wide sleeves, but his mind began to grumble.
That old stone, his mouth is too venomous! Look how angry Lie Tianxiong is.
He had been an undercover agent in Burning Heaven Palace for so many years, seen every kind of situation, but this was the first time he'd seen someone infuriate Lie Tianxiong to this extent.
Good thing I've had professional Sect training; unless I can't help it...
Just then, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and many looked solemnly into the distance.
Two black torrents surged from the mountain path. The two leading figures wore black robes embroidered with skull patterns, exuding a chilling Devilish Qi. They were none other than people from the Demon Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect.
These two Sects were entrenched at the border of Xuan Province and Yun Province. Although they occupied a lot of territory in Xuan Province, they considered themselves Yun Province forces and always disdained associating with Xuan Province Sects. Their methods were ruthless, and their strength was on par with Myriad Law Pavilion.
"I didn't expect even these two fiends to come."
Someone whispered, instinctively stepping back.
"Little fellows from Xuan Province, you've arrived quite early."
Moluo scanned everyone present, his voice like sandpaper rubbing wood, making ears ache.
"This Secret Realm is not something you useless people can covet. If you know what's good for you, scram quickly, lest you lose your lives and not even have a chance at Reincarnation."
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and a black Devilish Qi shot towards a nearby Loose Cultivator. The Loose Cultivator didn't even let out a scream before being enveloped by the Devilish Qi, instantly turning into a dried corpse, making the surrounding people's faces turn pale.
Xue Wushang licked his lips, his gaze falling on the Disciples of various Sects, as if looking at meat on a chopping block.
"My Sect happens to be short on blood slaves. If anyone refuses to leave, then stay and become fertilizer."
As he spoke, the blood-colored mist at his fingertips suddenly surged, engulfing a Burning Heaven Palace Core Formation Early Stage Disciple. The Disciple's face turned ashen with fright, not even having the courage to resist.
It was Yan Cangyun who intervened to block it.
Xue Wushang sneered, "Burning Heaven Palace Disciples are nothing more than this."
This bloody scene caused an uproar throughout the entire venue, and the faces of the major forces instantly became solemn.
Myriad Law Pavilion Pavilion Master Yun Canghai's originally calm face also darkened. The strength of the Demon Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect was on par with Myriad Law Pavilion, and their methods were ruthless. Their appearance undoubtedly added variables to this Secret Realm trip.
He looked at the Sect Masters of the several great Sects, and they too had solemn expressions.
Ordinarily, the Seven Great Sects were at loggerheads over Spiritual Veins and ore veins, wishing they would never interact again. But at this moment, facing the Demon Heaven Sect and the Blood Soul Sect, these two common powerful enemies, these two great demonic Sects were the biggest threat.
Just then, Xiao Ruobai stood in the crowd, his fingertips secretly clenching.
His gaze passed through layers of figures, landing on a group of people in imperial attire not far away.
Those people had the "Yan" insignia embroidered on their chests; they were from the Great Yan Dynasty.
The several elderly people at the front had stable auras and were Cave Heaven Realm Cultivators.
The young Disciples around them were mostly Core Formation Early Stage, and one of them, dressed in brocade robes, had Spiritual Qi fluctuations reaching Core Formation Middle Stage. From his attire, he was clearly an Imperial Dynasty Prince.
Hatred surged like a tide in his heart, and Xiao Ruobai's nails almost dug into his palm.
He would never forget his experiences in the Great Yan Dynasty.
His mother was assassinated, his father repeatedly conceded, yet they still wanted to exterminate them, and ultimately his father died protecting him.
Every inch of the Great Yan Dynasty's land was soaked with his parents' blood, and those high and mighty imperial family members, each one could have been an accomplice in the past.
Now, his enemies were right before his eyes, wearing splendid robes, coveting the Secret Realm's Opportunity as if nothing had happened, as if the massacre of that year had never occurred.
Xiao Ruobai's teeth ground audibly, and the War God Body Origin within him surged with anger, golden battle Qi wildly rushing through his Meridians.
During these few months on Zizhu Peak, with the help of the Azure Profound Sect, he had thoroughly investigated the strength of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Great Yan Dynasty's strength in Xuan Province was second only to the Seven Great Sects, belonging to a first-rate force.
On the surface, the strongest person was in the Cave Heaven Realm, but in reality, there were still two Heavenly Human Realm Old Ancestors, though it was unclear whether these two Old Ancestors were in the Heavenly Human Realm Early Stage or Middle Stage.
To be safe, and to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, allowing him to catch them all, Xiao Ruobai had originally planned to wait until he broke through to the Heavenly Human Realm before cleansing the Great Yan Dynasty with blood, but he didn't expect to encounter them prematurely outside this Secret Realm.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Fang Hanyu noticed his abnormality, followed his gaze, and instantly understood something.
He gently patted Xiao Ruobai's shoulder, lowering his voice to comfort him, "Don't rush, now isn't the time. Once we enter the Secret Realm, we'll have a good time with them."
Xiao Ruobai took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions, but the hatred in his eyes did not dissipate.
He nodded, his gaze returning to the Great Yan Dynasty's group, as if confirming the appearance of each person.
This blood debt, today in the Secret Realm, he would first collect the interest.
Xiao Hei tilted its head on Fang Hanyu's shoulder, seemingly sensing Xiao Ruobai's emotions, and gently pecked his sleeve, letting out a low "chirp," as if comforting him, and also reminding him to calm down.
The profound light above the Secret Realm grew increasingly dense, and faint Restriction fluctuations emanated, clearly indicating that the opening time was drawing nearer.
"Buzz—"
The profound light above the Secret Realm suddenly surged, and complex array patterns emerged within the pale purple halo, moving like living creatures in the Void Realm, frantically drawing in the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
The ground trembled slightly, and the light gate at the Secret Realm's entrance slowly opened. Behind the gate, misty mountains were vaguely visible, mixed with the ancient and profound aura unique to an ancient Legacy, making the breathing of all forces present quicken.
"The Secret Realm has opened!"
Someone shouted, and the Disciples of various Sects instantly became restless, gripping their weapons, their eyes filled with eagerness.
A favorite saying: "Strike range, global coverage, truly invigorating!"
