358: Strange, attack

The word 'Saint' wasn't because they knew Xu Yuan was a Saint Eyes Wielder; after all, this matter was relatively unknown to the outside world. The origin of the 'Saint' word was because the sword technique Xu Yuan used when he made his move was called the Myriad Saints Sword Canon.

More than ten Dao Severing Kings died under this sword technique, so Xu Yuan also had an honorific title given to him by outsiders — Myriad Saints Sword King.

Soon, he suppressed his killing intent. The people in this great hall had good strength, and he currently had too few usable people, so he still needed to use them. Therefore, he could only suppress the killing intent in his heart for now.

However, once he accumulated enough power, if these people submitted, all would be well. If they didn't, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry! Our Saint Extermination Alliance is not without trump cards!”

Young Master Black Tiger’s gloomy face revealed a confident smile!

Everyone in the great hall was surprised upon hearing this!

“Young Master Black Tiger, is that true?”

Someone couldn’t help but ask.

After all, Xu Yuan had two powerhouses at the Dao Lord Perfection Realm behind him!

“Since I say this, everyone naturally won’t believe it!” Young Master Black Tiger chuckled, “Very well! Let me put your minds at ease!”

With that, Young Master Black Tiger walked down from the high platform under everyone’s gaze, then his expression became solemn, and he bowed towards the high platform.

“Hu Yong greets the Special Envoy!”

“Boom!”

As Young Master Black Tiger’s voice fell, the entire underground palace shook. On the high platform, ripples appeared in the Void Realm, and a Dao Domain gate slowly opened.

“This is…”

Everyone’s expressions changed in surprise. Before they could say anything, they felt their shoulders sink, and an invisible pressure surged out from the Dao Domain gate.

Under this pressure, whether they were Dao Severing Kings or Half-step Dao Lords, their faces were filled with terror, because they all involuntarily knelt down!

In an instant, within the vast great hall, only Young Master Black Tiger remained standing.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort was heard, and everyone’s hearts trembled, their Qi and blood surged, and the Great Dao within their bodies vibrated as if about to collapse, which made them extremely terrified, fearing that they would perish in the next second.

“If you want to live, obey Hu Yong’s arrangements, otherwise, die!”

An indifferent voice came from the Dao Domain gate. As the voice faded, the Dao Domain gate slowly dissipated, and the terrifying pressure that had caused everyone to panic also vanished, leaving behind only those with horrified expressions.

“Everyone!”

At this moment, Young Master Black Tiger’s relaxed smile reached their ears.

Everyone looked at Young Master Black Tiger’s smiling expression, their own expressions dejected. They knew that from this moment on, the Saint Extermination Alliance was no longer something they could control.

“We are willing to obey the Alliance Leader’s command!”

The red-clad woman from before was the first to bow.

Subsequently, everyone reacted and echoed their agreement.

Listening to everyone’s voices, Young Master Black Tiger’s face showed a satisfied smile, and his eyes revealed dazzling ambition.

Among the crowd, one person glanced at Young Master Black Tiger, then lowered his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Azure Firmament Ancient Realm, Cangwu Dao Academy, within a certain palace!

A young man with hawk-like eyes and wolf-like gaze awoke from his Cultivation.

Moments after he awoke, a figure walked in.

“How is it?”

Seeing the other party, the young man’s indifferent voice came out.

“Reporting to Young Lord, the clan has made arrangements. Now Xu Yuan is preparing to deal with the aberrant in Eastern Frontier Ancient City, and it is expected that the Eternal Night Clan will certainly make a move!”

“To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, our Third Ancestor has already emerged from seclusion and is now stationed in Eastern Ghost Dao Province!”

The young man was surprised upon hearing this, “The Third Ancestor is personally getting involved? Will there be any issues with this? After all, the Dao Academy side…”

The figure explained, “Young Lord, rest assured, the Third Ancestor possesses a secret treasure, enough to escape from that person’s hands and prevent their deductions. And his existence has always been treated as a trump card by the clan; besides us, no one outside knows!”

The young man was overjoyed upon hearing this!

“That is excellent! Hahahaha!”

In a flash, three days passed.

Under a tense evacuation, Eastern Frontier Ancient City had long become an empty city.

Also on that day, Xu Yuan opened the box, and in an instant, a terrifying Immortal Grade intent soared into the sky. The soaring chaotic intent made the ancient city’s grand formation tremble, almost on the verge of shattering.

Such an unusual phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of all the powerhouses in the entire Eastern Cang Celestial Territory!

“Immortal Grade! It’s Immortal Grade Chaotic Dao!”

“An Immortal Grade being has appeared?”

“Wait! That direction? It’s Eastern Ghost Dao Province!”

Countless powerhouses’ Dao thoughts intertwined in the Void Realm. Just as they were about to investigate, a Dao thought swept over. Upon contact, those Dao thoughts instantly changed color, and they quickly withdrew their Dao thoughts, no longer paying attention.

Cangwu Dao Academy, Sky Support Hall!

A green-robed Daoist looked towards Eastern Ghost Dao Province, a strange smile playing on his lips… “It has begun!”

At the same time, in three other locations, a black-robed man, Young Master Black Tiger, and an old man with wild hair and beard looked up at Eastern Frontier Ancient City, their hearts filled with anticipation.

Not long after, the Immortal Grade intent that permeated the sky above Eastern Frontier Ancient City slowly dissipated.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Xu Yuan, Yue Yu, and two gray-robed elders slowly finished their Cultivation, their faces filled with awe, their gazes directed at the already closed box.

Although they needed to use the heart of the aberrant monarch to attract aberrations, they only needed to release it for a moment. Otherwise, if it continued, it would soon destroy the entire Eastern Frontier Ancient City.

“As expected of an Immortal Grade existence. Although its Dao thoughts within have long been extinguished, this pure Immortal Grade Dao is not something we can contend with!”

A gray-robed elder said with lingering fear.

“Indeed!”

Listening to the two gray-robed elders, Xu Yuan also couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

If not for the grand formation carved by an Immortal Grade existence on the box, coupled with the efforts of the two gray-robed elders, it might not have been possible to suppress this small piece of the heart of the aberrant monarch back inside.

“Many thanks to the two Grand Elders for your assistance this time!”

Xu Yuan cupped his fists towards the two gray-robed elders.

“Hehe! I’m afraid without us two old men, the heart of the aberrant monarch wouldn’t have been able to harm you, would it!”

One of the slightly shorter gray-robed elders said with a half-smile, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Yue Yu.

He had seen it with his own eyes; the heart of the aberrant monarch, which was enough to make him solemn, did not cause the other party’s expression to change in the slightest.

Being old and shrewd, he naturally understood what was going on.

From beginning to end, he and old Li were both within the other party’s calculations.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan bowed to the two elders and apologized, “My apologies, Elder Huang, Elder Li, this junior also…”

“No need for that!”

“You, young man, have courage and wisdom, and your Cultivation talent is strong. When the Dao Academy is handed over to you in the future, this old man will be at ease!”

Before he could finish speaking, the two waved their hands and laughed heartily with open minds.

They were not angry because of this. Firstly, Xu Yuan was a member of their Dao Academy and the Dean’s Disciple. In some respects, he represented the orthodox lineage of the Dao Academy.

Secondly, the fact that he possessed such Heart-Nature meant that Xu Yuan’s future was destined to be extraordinary.

Coupled with his terrifying Cultivation talent, as long as no accidents occurred, he would surely reach the Immortal Grade level in the future!

The Dao Academy shall flourish!

“Roar!!!”

Just then, a furious roar came from the east of the Eastern Saint Domain. The terrifying roar shook the heavens and earth, reverberating across several Dao Domains surrounding the entire Eastern Saint Domain.

“They’re here!”

Xu Yuan and the others’ expressions turned solemn. They rushed out of the great hall and soared into the sky.

To the east, a vast, blood-red expanse covered the sky and obscured the sun, heading towards them. Along the way, all living beings, regardless of their cultivation, once swept into the blood-red expanse, instantly transformed into a pillar of blood, becoming part of the blood-red color.

“This beast!”

Elder Huang’s expression turned angry. Three days ago, they used methods to trap the aberrant within the grand formation, originally thinking they could hold it for some time. However, upon sensing the presence of the heart of the aberrant monarch, it broke through the grand formation so quickly.
