171: Demon Lord, Ghost Lord! Three Soul Palaces joining forces, that's quite a big deal!

With Shen Tianxing's protection, Shi Linglong successfully achieved a Breakthrough into the Divine Profound Realm!

Yet, not a single one of the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators from the great sects dared to step forward and attack!

"Shen Tianxing, I've had a Breakthrough!"

Shi Linglong looked at him, her face beaming with joy, her eyes sparkling with an unusual brilliance.

She was deeply moved by how Shen Tianxing had rushed over at the critical moment of her Breakthrough, slaying all enemies with a single saber, and completely shielding her behind him.

However, she wasn't the type to be overly sentimental.

Even if she was touched, it remained hidden in her heart, while outwardly she maintained her usual demeanor.

Thump!

She had expected Shen Tianxing to praise her, but instead, she was met with his familiar flick to her forehead.

Her forehead flicked, Shi Linglong cried out.

"Ow! You're bullying me again!"

Shi Linglong, looking wronged, her eyes misty with tears.

Being flicked on the forehead was nothing to a Cultivator like her, but it still felt quite painful.

Since childhood, she had never been treated this way, nor had anyone dared to treat her like this.

Only Shen Tianxing, he didn't understand how to cherish and protect women.

"You idiot, next time I'll let them eat you!"

"You want to have a Breakthrough but don't know to run further away, I..."

Shen Tianxing made to flick her again, and Shi Linglong quickly ran off.

"It won't happen again next time! It hurts a lot!"

"Hahaha... the feeling of the Divine Profound Realm is truly wonderful. Now I'm going to avenge the siege from earlier!"

Swish—

A giant sword was raised, and a fierce, incomparable Sword Intent erupted around her.

Seeing Shi Linglong throw herself into the great battle, Shen Tianxing shook his head helplessly.

This girl was just so carefree, but once she got into a fight, she would fully commit.

"Come on, let's continue!"

Shen Tianxing tilted his head, grinning menacingly at the Demons not far away.

There were quite a few Divine Profound Realm and Carefree Realm Masters!

This wave of harvesting would bring in another large sum of experience points!

Buzz!

Raising the demon sealing saber in his hand, Shen Tianxing was about to attack these Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators.

But just then, a terrifying Aura suddenly came from above!

"Not good!!!"

Shen Tianxing's expression changed, and he turned to run.

A deathly Aura was approaching; the newcomer was definitely a Master he couldn't contend with!!!

"Hurry and go!"

Suddenly, Xing Yao's figure appeared beside him, her delicate hand grabbing his, and her true essence erupted throughout her body!

Even with her Divine Profound Peak strength, she felt uneasy; the newcomer was definitely not simple!

Buzz!

In the Void Realm, a ray of light descended, like an invisible cage, enveloping both of them.

Bang!

Shen Tianxing and Xing Yao were directly bounced back by that light barrier.

"Soul Palace Realm!!!"

The two exchanged glances, already knowing that they had been targeted this time!

"Since you've come, why be in such a hurry to leave?"

"Why not chat with this old man?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from above the sky.

Three figures slowly descended from the thunder-filled dark clouds.

The newcomers' Aura was restrained, showing no trace of Demonic Qi on them; they were tall, with cold faces, carrying an air of superiority!

"Greetings, Demon Venerable, Ghost Venerable!"

As these three figures appeared, Li Wushen, who had been secretly contending with Xie Tianjian, suddenly disengaged from the battlefield and respectfully saluted the three figures.

"Greetings, Demon Venerable, Ghost Venerable!"

All the surrounding Divine Profound Realm and Carefree Realm Masters respectfully saluted, their faces filled with pleasant surprise.

The Demon Venerable and Ghost Venerable had appeared; Shen Tianxing was definitely doomed this time!!!

These three arrived very suddenly!

No Aura could be felt from them, their divine radiance was restrained, but they exuded an Aura of a superior!

Countless Masters present all felt a chill throughout their bodies; just looking at the three figures made them feel as if their Divine Soul was about to be torn apart!

"Demon Venerable, Lei Tianxie, Yin Wuya!"

"Even they have come!"

"It seems this time, they truly intend to capture all of us in one fell swoop!"

Xie Tianjian's figure drew closer, looking at Shen Tianxing and Xing Yao, who were enveloped by the cage, his brows furrowed, his gaze filled with solemnity.

Trapped by three Soul Palace Realm Masters, he, Xie Tianjian, didn't have the ability to rescue Shen Tianxing and Xing Yao.

But he wasn't worried.

Shen Tianxing, upon hearing this, didn't feel much.

He had set up this grand scheme to draw out all the Masters from the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators' great sects, and indeed, things were proceeding exactly as he had envisioned, without deviation.

These three Soul Palace Realm Masters, without guessing, were surely the ones sent by the Various Ghost Dao Sects of the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Dao to maintain order.

Important figures naturally appeared at the last moment, which was entirely within his expectations.

Now, apart from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect's powerhouses he had been waiting for, all others should have already appeared!

However, the Demon Venerable and Ghost Venerable targeted him as soon as they appeared.

Had his importance grown so much?

Three Soul Palace Realm Masters staring at him, they thought too highly of him!

Demon Venerable stood in the Void Realm, his gaze like two beams of light, looking indifferently at Shen Tianxing.

"Shen Tianxing? Truly remarkable, at such a young age, you've already entered the Divine Profound Fourth Realm, and even comprehended the Ninth Level Saber Intent. Give you a few more years, and even this old man might not be your opponent!"

"It's not in vain that the three of us came personally for you!"

No one expected that a Demon Venerable like Demon Venerable, when facing Shen Tianxing, would give such a high evaluation in his first sentence!

For younger Cultivators, this was undoubtedly a huge recognition from a Senior Master!

This was the terrifying nature of potential!

Without this potential, the Various Ghost Dao Sects of the Demon, Monster, and Ghost Dao would not have gone to such great lengths to deal with Shen Tianxing!

"Then do I still need to thank you for thinking highly of me?"

Shen Tianxing was noncommittal!

No matter how pleasant these old fellows' words sounded, their ultimate goal was still to kill him!

You're going to kill me, and I'm still supposed to be polite to you?

That wasn't Shen Tianxing's style of doing things!

...This Shen Tianxing is too bold, isn't he? He actually dares to speak to a Soul Palace Realm Demon Venerable like that!"

"He's terrifyingly stubborn, but unfortunately, no matter how strong he is, he's only at the Divine Profound Fourth Realm. The Chief of the Three Departments is only at the Divine Profound Peak, and the Fourteenth Imperial Uncle is fighting alone. How can he be an opponent to a Soul Palace Realm Master? Shen Tianxing is too overconfident!"

"That's wrong. Do you think Shen Tianxing would dare to speak like that if he had no backing?"

"Given how much the Empress values him, she definitely wouldn't let Shen Tianxing take such a risk. The court's foundation is far more than this!"

Shen Tianxing's boldness truly shocked many people.

But the Masters from all sides watching the battle were not fools; they knew that Shen Tianxing surely had something to rely on.

They just didn't know which Masters from the court had arrived!

Demon Venerable glanced at him, "Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? This Venerable originally intended to give you a chance to live, but since you don't want it, then be on your way!"

He wanted to kill someone at the slightest disagreement!

Demon Venerable's face changed faster than flipping a book!
