163: Chapter 163: Jinsha Holy Sect, Demonic Breath

After traveling using the power of space, in less than a day, Jiang Xuan and Man Dali passed through the desert at the edge of Sand Province and officially entered the central region.

Buildings were visible everywhere in Jiang Xuan's sight, and large and small flying boats sailed into nearby cities from all directions.

Jiang Xuan surveyed the surrounding scene. Although it didn't have the picturesque mountains and rivers of other great provinces, nor did it exude Spiritual Qi, it still gave him a unique feeling.

Not far away, several young men and women, dressed in golden Sect attire, stood at the city gates, stopping and questioning pedestrians disembarking from various flying boats, their expressions quite fierce and overbearing.

"Strange, why are the Golden Sand Saint Sect people here?" Man Dali recognized their origin and asked in confusion.

Jiang Xuan's expression was unreadable. "Dali, do you know them?"

Man Dali nodded and explained to Jiang Xuan, "Boss, they are all from the Golden Sand Saint Sect, the hegemonic force of Sand Province. I hear the Saint Sect's name every time I come out of the village."

Speaking of this, Man Dali quietly leaned into Jiang Xuan's ear, a hint of anger in his expression, and whispered, "Boss, don't let these people fool you with their fancy clothes. They often don't act like Human Race."

"Relying on being Saint Sect Disciples, they run rampant in Sand Province, and even some Mortals without cultivation are often bullied. Every time I encounter them when I go out, I teach them a good lesson!"

"It's a pity Grandpa Village Chief won't let me be too ostentatious. Hmph, otherwise, I would have long since destroyed this damn Saint Sect and eliminated a public nuisance."

After hearing what Man Dali said, and feeling the metallic aura from the group, Jiang Xuan sneered inwardly, "Heh heh, what a coincidence. The five elements emperor bone's metal attribute information that the System gave me is located beneath the Golden Sand Saint Sect!"

"Stop!"

A loud shout came, and the group stopped Jiang Xuan and Man Dali. The leading young man stepped forward, his expression arrogant, and pulled out a portrait. He said coldly to Jiang Xuan, "You came from the outer regions, have you seen our Saint Sect's flying boat!"

Man Dali looked at them in disbelief, then turned to Jiang Xuan and said, "Boss, I'm not mistaken, am I? There are actually people who don't recognize you?"

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and understood the reason. Due to the environmental factors of Sand Province, unless the Golden Great Era descended, very few people would travel to other great provinces, as crossing that sea of sand was too dangerous.

Therefore, among the Nine Provinces, it was probably only in Sand Province that Jiang Xuan's portrait hadn't spread so widely. Perhaps they had heard the name of the Young Emperor, but only the high-ranking officials of the major forces in Sand Province had actually seen him.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the scroll in the man's hand. What was depicted was none other than the flying boat that Jiang Xuan had crushed with chaotic spatial power in the sea of sand.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Heh heh, I've seen this flying boat. The people wearing the clothes were just like yours."

Upon hearing this, the remaining Disciples of the Golden Sand Sect quickly gathered around, their expressions somewhat agitated. Although they were displeased with Jiang Xuan's tone, they couldn't afford to care about that now. They knew that the most favored junior of the Old Ancestor's lineage was on that flying boat.

If anything untoward happened to that junior, they would definitely not survive!

Thinking of this, the group stared intently at Jiang Xuan, fearing to hear any bad news, and shouted sharply, "Where is that flying boat!"

Jiang Xuan grinned, "In a fun place. I'll take you there."

After speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the power of his Divine Sense instantly surged out.

Before the Disciples could react, their entire bodies instantly froze in place. Their Sea of Consciousness felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and they lost consciousness in an instant.

Only after Jiang Xuan and Man Dali had walked far away did exclamations erupt from the city gate.

In the Golden Sand Saint Sect, at the Old Ancestor's secluded cultivation ground, a Disciple, looking panicked, stumbled in.

"Thud."

Seeing the golden-haired elder in front, the Disciple hurriedly knelt on the ground, his expression terrified, and stammered, "Ol... Old Ancestor, Young Master he... his soul lamp is extinguished!"

"Swish!"

The elder's eyes snapped open, and a Saint King's pressure suddenly unleashed.

"Bang!"

An explosion suddenly sounded, and the Disciple kneeling on the ground instantly turned into a bloody mist. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, the elder's expression was gloomy, and his tone was chilling, "This Old Ancestor hates being suddenly disturbed!"

After speaking, his figure flashed, appearing where the soul lamps of various Disciples were placed. Looking at one of the extinguished soul lamps, there was no sadness in the elder's eyes, only endless rage!

The golden-haired elder's gaze narrowed, and he quickly formed hand seals. A drop of blood slowly emerged from between his eyebrows, and black runes crawled across his face, making him look sinister and terrifying.

Above the entire main hall, a black barrier containing an evil aura suddenly appeared. Seeing this, the elder shouted, "Using blood as a guide, I seek an audience with Devil Emperor Adult!"

As his voice fell, the elder's essence blood from between his eyebrows floated towards the center of the barrier, and a giant face obscured by black mist appeared in the center of the barrier.

"What is it?"

An indifferent and sinister voice came from the black mist. The golden-haired elder's body trembled, and he bowed down, "I implore Devil Emperor Adult to cast a Divine Ability to manifest the scene of my junior's death, so that this subordinate can ascertain the cause of death."

"Granted."

A moment later, a mysterious power emanated from the black mist. If Jiang Xuan were here, he would definitely feel this familiar power of time!

"Appear!"

A majestic and chilling voice sounded, and a scene slowly emerged from space: yellow sand filled the sky, and spatial storms raged!

"This is... the outer region of Sand Province!" The golden-haired elder's pupils contracted. Could it be that he died by accident?

Just then, the scene shifted. A white-robed figure appeared in the light screen. Just as he was about to see his face clearly, a mysterious power instantly erased the power of time, and the screen instantly turned pitch black.

"Oh?"

A surprised sound came from the black mist, "The Human Race actually has someone even this Devil Emperor cannot detect. Interesting. Besides Jiuyou, who suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm, this is the second one, isn't it?"

After a long while, the large face in the black mist spoke again, "This Devil Emperor can feel that he is in Sand Province. Although it's only a back view, this aura cannot be changed. It shouldn't be difficult to find him."

"Thank you, Devil Emperor Adult!" The golden-haired elder buried his head in the ground, his words filled with reverence.

Not long after, when the black mist dispersed, the elder stood up from the ground, his face gloomy.

"Damn it, how dare you destroy this Old Ancestor's most perfect substitute. No matter who you are, you will die!"

...At the same time, on the way to Man Village, Jiang Xuan suddenly stopped in place, his expression unreadable.

"What's wrong, Boss?" Man Dali saw Jiang Xuan's changed expression and hurriedly asked.

Jiang Xuan came back to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing."

After speaking, a playful glint flashed in his eyes, "Want to probe my location? Heh heh, I hope you can withstand This Young Master's sword."

He could feel that the person probing him was in Sand Province, which could only be the Golden Sand Saint Sect, a Saint King-level Sect that he could destroy with a flick of his hand.

However... that faint trace of Demon Race aura somewhat surprised Jiang Xuan. It seemed that this trip to Sand Province was becoming more and more interesting.
