140: Chapter 140 Standoff Between Two Countries

"If you won't hand him over, then we'll have to do this the hard way." Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow with a cold sneer, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

He had already gathered the intelligence.

His own son, the heir of the Family Head Tantai, and the Personal Disciple of the Third Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect.

They were all killed by Xiang Tian and his group.

With such a blood feud, there was absolutely no possibility of the three parties shaking hands and making peace.

"Sect Head, please, I beg you to seek justice for my Disciple!" the Third Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect said upon seeing this.

He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran toward an old man in the center of the field, his tone urgent and filled with grief and indignation.

"Rest assured, Third Elder. Since Yang Ming was a Disciple of our Tyrant Blade Sect, I, as Sect Head, will naturally seek justice for him."

The Sect Leader of Badao Sect nodded.

The biting Saber Qi around his body leaked out faintly, his attitude resolute.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight! Do you think I, Lotus, would be afraid of a bunch of clowns like you?" Lotus stood tall and straight.

She did not retreat in the slightest, her enchanting eyes filled with cold severity.

"Good! Then let the war begin!" Ling Xiao was overjoyed.

He was just hoping to take advantage of this chaotic situation to abduct Xiang Tian.

He thought he was the only one with such a plan.

Yet he did not know that everyone else present also had their own agendas.

The temptation of the True Dragon was simply too great; no one could easily give it up.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The battle between the two sides erupted instantly.

Lotus went straight for Ling Xiao; as black Qi and spiritual energy collided, waves of energy surged to the heavens.

Master Miaoxian swung her sword to meet the Sect Leader of Badao Sect, the Seven Kill Sword in her hand dancing about.

She was not at a disadvantage at all; instead, she gradually suppressed her opponent and gained the upper hand.

"As expected, the Seven Kill Sword can only truly display its Divine Might in Master's hands." Yuyi watched Master Miaoxian, who was wielding her sword as if dancing.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration.

Master Miaoxian was not only her Master but also the idol she had chased her entire life.

She possessed both peerless beauty and a murderous aura that was in no way inferior to any man.

"Yuyi, take the people of the Ouyang Family and leave here first." Xiang Tian frowned.

He swept his gaze over the members of the Ouyang Family beside him, his tone grave.

Yuyi shook her head gently. "I'm afraid we can't leave now. Outside the Phantom God Forest, there is not only the danger of the Saint Realm, but the threats of the Martial Emperor Realm cannot be underestimated either. Staying here, at least we have the help of several Saint experts, which is actually safer."

Xiang Tian stroked his chin, contemplating secretly.

A group of Saint Realm experts were fighting to the death.

For them, Martial King Realm cultivators watching from the sidelines, it was simply courting death.

But given the current situation, it was indeed difficult to safely evacuate the Ouyang Family members.

"Hall Master An, I am going to assist in the battle. I leave Xiang Tian to you." The Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave this instruction to Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An.

Then, he leaped into the battlefield and engaged in a fierce fight with the people from the Tyrant Blade Sect.

"Master Miaoxian, I would like to see whether your Seven Kill Sword is sharper, or if my Tyrant Blade Technique is stronger!" the Sect Leader of Badao Sect roared.

The cold light on the black blade in his hand surged, and the blade was shrouded in heavy Saber Qi.

"Second Form of the Tyrant Blade Technique—Sweeping Across the Army!"

Majestic Saber Qi erupted from the blade, sweeping toward Master Miaoxian.

Wherever it passed, the space faintly cracked, emitting a subtle shattering sound.

The Saber Qi expanded rapidly, spreading to a width of a thousand zhang in an instant.

It slammed toward Master Miaoxian like a collapsing sky.

"How dare you show off your meager Saber Qi before me." Master Miaoxian's tone was indifferent.

She flicked her wrist, and the blood-red Seven Kill Sword in her hand instantly erupted with a dazzling red light.

"Kill!"

As the word fell, the Seven Kill Sword slashed out, carrying monstrous murderous intent.

The moment the red light collided with the Saber Qi.

"Clang!"

The Sect Leader of Badao Sect's thousand-zhang Saber Qi instantly vanished into smoke, turning into nothingness.

"You... your strength has actually reached such a terrifying level!" The Sect Leader of Badao Sect gasped, his face full of horror.

Master Miaoxian's cultivation was actually half a step higher than his, a Sect Head who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

One had to know that Master Miaoxian was not even forty years old; such talent was truly shocking.

"This is nothing; it is far from my Peak state." Master Miaoxian glanced at the Seven Kill Sword in her hand indifferently.

She sighed softly, "Since coming to this Huang Province, I have had very few opportunities to let you fully unleash your edge."

"I don't care how high your talent is, Xiang Tian must die today!" The Sect Leader of Badao Sect snorted coldly and swung his blade forward again, his blade momentum becoming increasingly violent.

The two fought together, and it was difficult to determine a victor for the time being.

"I have heard that the Tyrant Blade Sect is full of experts; I would like to personally experience them!" The Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect charged into the crowd of the Tyrant Blade Sect.

His spiritual energy transformed into sword shadows, and he began a fierce battle with them.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

On the battlefield, light and shadows intertwined, and energy waves rolled.

Xiang Tian and the others were dazzled by the sight.

With his Martial King Realm cultivation, it was difficult for him to even track the speed of the Saint Realm experts' fighting.

He could only see the sky filled with spiritual energy and Saber Qi intertwining and colliding.

"Xiang Tian, don't worry, I will stay by your side and not leave you for even a step." Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, glanced at the fierce battle in the sky.

In the end, she still felt uneasy, so she simply reached out and hugged Xiang Tian's arm.

Even though her cheeks flushed red, she refused to let go.

"Uh? Hall Master An, that is really unnecessary." Xiang Tian was full of question marks.

He felt quite uncomfortable all over.

"The aftershocks of the Saints' battle are too strong. If you are not careful, you will be vaporized into dust. This is the only way to keep you safe." Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, shook her head.

"Hall Master An, haven't you noticed the group of covetous gazes behind you?" Although Xiang Tian did not turn his head.

He had already smelled the heavy jealousy permeating the air.

Without thinking, he knew that Xiahou Yun must be glaring at him with rage.

"Oh? Do all these young ladies like you?" Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Her gaze swept over Xiahou Yun, Princess Zhou Zhiyan, Yan Linfei, Ouyang Huamei, Ouyang Miaomiao, and others.

"Don't look at me, this has nothing to do with me." Yuyi waved her hands hurriedly to defend herself.

She had only met Xiang Tian twice; she dared not be categorized as one of those people.

"These... are all your women?" Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, frowned, her tone surprised.

Xiang Tian was the fiancé of the Lotus Society leader.

Wouldn't that be cheating on the leader?

"Hall Master An, the leader has long known about the young ladies around Master." Feng Jiu quietly leaned into Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An's ear and whispered.

Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, raised an eyebrow, her tone flat but carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

"The leader is truly broad-minded. If it were me, I would stab this lecher to death with one sword."

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes significantly.

It was them who actively approached him, okay!

"Hall Master An, could you please take the Disciples of the Ouyang Family back to the Ouyang Family first?" Xiang Tian tried asking again.

"No, I will never leave your side by more than five steps." Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, shook her head and refused without a second thought.

"What a stubborn woman." Xiang Tian muttered to himself.

"Say what you want, I will not leave your side even half a step." Hall Master of Lianhua Society, An, remained resolute, guarding tightly by Xiang Tian's side.

The battle in the sky intensified.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The entire Phantom God Forest was trembling slightly.

And outside the Phantom God Forest.

Two groups of people were in a tense standoff.

The middle-aged man leading one side had Dragon Qi rising around him, imposing and majestic;

The woman on the other side was also shrouded in rich Dragon Qi, her temperament cold and glamorous.

"Queen of Dayue, you should give me an explanation for your country's Crown Prince hunting down the Princess of my Tianyun Kingdom." The Monarch of Tianyun spoke first.

"Monarch of Tianyun, why make such a fuss? Isn't your Princess unharmed?" The Queen of Dayue said indifferently, her face full of unconcern.

The Dayue Kingdom's strength was inherently stronger than that of the Tianyun Kingdom.

The Monarch of Tianyun was currently still in the Half-step Saint Realm.

And she had already stepped into the Saint Realm.

There were naturally no shortage of Old Ancestors in other Families.

In the face of absolute strength, she simply did not need to take the Monarch of Tianyun's questioning to heart.

The confidence in negotiations stems from strength.

Clearly, the Tianyun Kingdom was currently at an absolute disadvantage.

Moreover, the Dayue Kingdom had not really caused any harm to Princess Zhou Zhiyan; they had only chased her the whole way.

"Queen of Dayue, well played! We shall see!" The Monarch of Tianyun gritted his teeth.

But there was nothing he could do; he could only swallow his anger.

"Hehe, I did not come here today to listen to your empty threats." The Queen of Dayue chuckled, her eyes sharp as knives.

"I am here for Xiang Tian."

She looked at the Monarch of Tianyun and got straight to the point.

"Name your conditions: what will it take for you to hand Xiang Tian over to my Dayue Kingdom?"

Upon hearing this, the Monarch of Tianyun frowned, secretly shocked.

This woman was actually also eyeing the True Dragon.

But he lacked the strength to compete with her.

"The people of my Tianyun Kingdom, how can they be bought just because you want to?" He said, pretending to be tough.

In fact, the Monarch of Tianyun had already secretly observed Xiang Tian.

Although his talent appeared average on the surface, he was able to kill enemies above his level.

Clearly, the function of the True Dragon was far beyond imagination.

He could see through this point, and the Queen of Dayue, being a Saint, naturally understood it clearly as well.

The Monarch of Tianyun paused, then raised an eyebrow.

"Could it be that the Queen of Dayue wants to recruit Xiang Tian as a husband?"
