171: Chapter 171: Jin Yan was dumbfounded, anyone who surrenders to the demon clan will be killed!
Hearing this, Jin Yan immediately became furious, "How audacious! You actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. This Old Ancestor wants to see what abilities you possess to dare disregard my Golden Sand Saint Sect so completely!"
With that, he stormed out of the hall, filled with rage. However, Jin Jueyan and the other higher-ups beside him looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt. What had they heard? Young Emperor?
It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? The few of them watched Jin Yan's retreating figure with grave expressions. The Old Ancestor had been in secluded cultivation for many years and rarely concerned himself with matters of the nine provinces.
But they were different. With the Great Era beginning, the Sect paid close attention to every stir on the continent, especially those renowned Prodigies.
The name of Young Emperor Jiang Xuan was like thunder to the top powers in Sand Province. If the person outside was truly him, then things would be troublesome.
The few of them exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes, and then, without further hesitation, hurried out of the hall.
When Jin Jueyan and the others saw the peerless white-robed figure in the Void Realm, their doubts instantly turned into fear. "It really is him! This is too much of a coincidence. Young Emperor Jiang Xuan is actually the culprit we've been searching for!"
They knew that Jiang Xuan was coming to Sand Province, but how could he have coincidentally come to the territory of the Golden Sand Saint Sect and killed the Old Ancestor's descendant? What should they do?
The battle at Duo Bao City had long spread throughout the nine provinces. Even a Quasi-Emperor was no match for Jiang Xuan. How could their Golden Sand Saint Sect resist? Most importantly, if Jiang Xuan discovered that the Sect was colluding with the Demon Race, the consequences... Thinking of this, cold sweat streamed down their backs, and they hated that Old Ancestor's descendant to the extreme. Of all people to provoke, he had to provoke this one in front of them. Was he tired of living?
Jin Yan, who was ahead, did not notice the expressions of the others. When he saw that the newcomer was a mere youth, with only the aura of a Saint, his face immediately showed disdain.
He had thought it was some important figure who dared to disregard him, Old Ancestor Jin Yan. It turned out to be just a Saint. Hmph, a young man who appeared from nowhere, relying on his youth to Breakthrough to Saint, thinking he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted.
He had seen many such people, and they all ended up as souls under his palm. Jin Yan looked at Jiang Xuan with sinister eyes, and a gloomy voice came from his mouth, "Little beast, a mere Saint dares to kill my descendant. How audacious of you!"
Behind him, Jin Jueyan and the others, seeing that the Old Ancestor was speaking to Jiang Xuan in such a way, instantly changed their expressions, feeling that the grim reaper was already beckoning to them. They hurriedly stepped forward and tugged at Jin Yan's sleeve.
Unexpectedly, the latter shook them off, displeased. "Don't pull on me!" Then he glared at Jiang Xuan, killing intent surging in his eyes. "Today, this Old Ancestor will make you understand that a Saint Sect is not something a mere Saint can challenge."
"This Old Ancestor will extract all your cultivation, turn you into a complete cripple, and finally let you die after suffering endless torment!"
Seeing the Old Ancestor's words becoming more and more outrageous, Jin Jueyan and the others broke out in a cold sweat, frantically winking at Jin Yan. Please stop talking... Noticing their abnormal behavior, Jin Yan finally realized something was wrong. What was going on with these people? Shouldn't they be cursing with this Old Ancestor?
Then, Jin Jueyan's voice came from his mind. After he finished listening to what the other party said, he instantly froze in place. Young Emperor? Slaying a Quasi-Emperor with one sword? The continent's number one Prodigy, the Chaos Holy Body... Jin Yan felt as if he was listening to a heavenly book. Was this really true, not a joke? How long had he been in secluded cultivation? Had the outside world already become like this?
Jin Yan was dumbfounded, his pupils wide. Then, his body couldn't help but tremble. He was afraid, but more than that, he was excited.
Such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy would definitely be a major threat to the Demon Race in the future! If this Old Ancestor could nip this child in the bud, then Devil Emperor Lord would surely reward him greatly. Perhaps, he might even allow him to join the Devil Emperor's clan!
Jin Yan thought to himself, his excitement barely concealed. For the Golden Sand Saint Sect, having already pledged allegiance to the Demon Race, they had supplied countless Human Race blood sacrifices to the Demon Race over the years.
Even if he knelt and begged for mercy now, the Human Race would not spare him; it would definitely be a dead end. It was better to take a gamble; there might still be hope.
Thinking of this, Jin Yan's eyes flashed. For now, the only option was to first pledge allegiance to Jiang Xuan, then secretly eliminate him.
Recalling his thoughts, Jin Yan's face was wreathed in smiles, and he hurriedly cupped his hands to Jiang Xuan, saying, "So it is Young Emperor Lord. This old man has been in secluded cultivation for a long time and was ignorant, speaking presumptuously. I hope Lord will not take offense."
"My Golden Sand Saint Sect is willing to obey Lord's command from now on and assist Lord on the Emperor Road!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Jiang Xuan, burying his head very low, a look of confident victory on his face.
Jin Yan did not believe Jiang Xuan would refuse. The Golden Sand Saint Sect was a dominant force in a province. How could Jiang Xuan, at such a young age, refuse such a temptation?
He had just learned from Jin Jueyan that Jiang Xuan had very few forces under his command. The addition of the Saint Sect would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger.
The few people behind Jin Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in unison. They were afraid that their Old Ancestor would be stubborn and refuse to yield, but fortunately, the Old Ancestor was not completely muddled and even used the entire Saint Sect to stabilize Jiang Xuan. Otherwise, they would surely die today.
In the Void Realm, Jiang Xuan coldly looked at the golden-haired old man below, noticing the faint Demon Race Qi on him. A chill ran through his heart. That day, the one who spied on him was this person. He had defected to the Demon Race, had he? Then it would be easy to handle.
He ignored the few of them. How much credibility could a traitor who betrayed the Human Race have? Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the Void Realm. Between heaven and earth, Sword Dao Law emerged, and a huge blood-red sword composed of Law power appeared over the entire Golden Sand Saint Sect.
Jiang Xuan's eyes were indifferent, and his words were like majestic heavenly might, "Golden Sand Saint Sect, defected to the Demon Race, kill!"
The words, imbued with infinite killing intent, echoed through the Void Realm. Everyone in the territory of the Golden Sand Saint Sect heard this voice.
People in all the cities were greatly alarmed, looking up towards the Saint Sect's direction.
"Someone is attacking the Golden Sand Saint Sect!"
"Who is it? Such terrifying strength! Even from such a distance, one can feel his power!"
"The Golden Sand Saint Sect has defected to the Demon Race? Is it true or false...?"
For a time, the crowd exclaimed in surprise, then, with excited faces, all flew towards the Saint Sect's direction. They had a premonition that today, Sand Province was probably going to change.
At the Golden Sand Saint Sect, Quasi-Emperor might swept through the entire Sect. Jin Yan and the others were terrified. They hadn't expected Jiang Xuan's strength to be so terrifying, that he would actually be a Quasi-Emperor. Wasn't he a Saint King just a while ago?
Moreover, how did Jiang Xuan know they were colluding with the Demon Race? Now that the matter was exposed, what awaited them would be an abyss of ten thousand fathoms!
Seeing that he was certain to die, Jin Yan's face twisted in madness, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared frantically at Jiang Xuan, "Jiang Xuan, this Old Ancestor will wait for you in the underworld! Once the Demon Race army arrives, the Human Race will eventually become blood sacrifices. You will die a more miserable death than us, hahahaha!"
"Noisy!"
Jiang Xuan coldly glanced at him, then pointed a finger down. The crimson giant sword in the Void Realm, carrying the Sword Dao Law, instantly struck down!
