Chapter 181: Chapter 144: Elder Han is Going to Capture the Female Demon King_2

These successive Sect Leaders, although only of fifth-grade talent, went to the Tai Xuan Sect and, with the help of the Sect’s resources and better inheritances, they successively broke through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

It is easy to cultivate to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, but reaching the True Martial Realm is much more difficult. Although the Tai Xuan Sect also has treasures that can aid in this process, they were not yet qualified to use them.

“Very well,” the second-generation Ancestral Master said.

“Not bad, little Yunzi. With this, our Tianxuan Mountain now has four Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, barely with enough qualification to stay out of the fray,” the third-generation Ancestral Master said in a deliberately casual tone.

“Alas, Master, Elders, you shouldn’t have come back.”

Gongsun Yun sighed. What he wanted were reinforcements at the True Martial Realm, as those at the Myriad Phenomena Realm wouldn’t hold.

He was at the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, so was the fourth-generation Sect Leader, the third-generation Sect Leader was at the middle stage, and the second-generation Ancestral Master was at the highest level, already at the pinnacle of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. However, he was also over nine hundred years old, so his hopes of breaking through to the True Martial Realm were very slim.

Indeed, four Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm could allow Tianxuan Mountain to stay out of the affairs, and neither the Daqian Empire nor the armies of the Yinyang Sect would dare to do anything to them.

But as soon as other True Martial Realm combatants from the Yinyang Sect made a move to try to break the stalemate, Tianxuan Mountain would not be able to hold out. Even if the four of them joined forces, they would not be able to withstand a single True Martial Realm Warrior King.

“If we had not come back, Tianxuan Mountain would truly be gone, and the foundation left by our master would have been destroyed,” the second-generation Ancestral Master said indifferently.

The third and fourth generations also nodded in agreement. They had infinite love for Tianxuan Mountain; it was only for the pursuit of higher realms that they went to the Tai Xuan Sect. If Tianxuan Mountain was in trouble, they would definitely come forward.

They also knew that returning was more likely to bring disaster than good fortune, but they still resolutely returned. Who made it so that the higher-ups of the Tai Xuan Sect did not want to intervene?

If a True Martial Realm Warrior King came to take charge, both the Yinyang Sect and the Daqian Empire would have to give face.

They also understood the stance of the Tai Xuan Sect. With many branches of the Sect, it was impossible to send a True Martial Realm Warrior King to every branch in need of support.

The Tai Xuan Sect itself did not possess that many True Martial Realm powerhouses; each one was in deep cultivation, seeking to break through to the Divine Yuan Realm.

Gongsun Yun knew this too; he had not held much hope in his heart from the start. Now the question was whether to continue standing with the Daqian Empire or not?

Gongsun Yun looked towards the three Ancestral Masters. The three of them smiled, and the second-generation Ancestral Master said indifferently, “Little Yunzi, you are now the Sect Leader of Tianxuan Mountain. You should make these decisions yourself.”

The third- and fourth-generation Sect Leaders nodded slightly as whatever decision Gongsun Yun made, they would support him.

The arrival of the three Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm to Tianxuan Mountain was quickly learned by the Daqian Empire and the Yinyang Sect and they had different reactions.

The third Elder of the Yinyang Sect, after a little investigation, found out that these were the successive Sect Leaders of Tianxuan Mountain. He didn’t feel any pressure; Tianxuan Mountain siding with the Daqian Empire couldn’t reverse the overall situation.

He was actually curious about what choice Tianxuan Mountain would make at this moment.

Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong, on the other hand, were extremely pleased. At this moment, support from the Capital City had not yet arrived. If there were three more Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, their pressure would be significantly reduced, and they could hold out much longer.

Thus, the two immediately sent envoys to Tianxuan Mountain, promising more benefits, hoping to persuade Tianxuan Mountain to stand with the Daqian Empire.

Now that the Daqian Empire was lacking True Martial Realm combat ability, Tianxuan Mountain, with three Great Grandmasters, held considerable weight. The Daqian Empire also didn’t dare to mess with Tianxuan Mountain; they could only seek to entice, not to threaten.

The two or three True Martial Realm Warrior Kings who were waiting outside the Sacred Dragon Secret Territory also noticed the arrival of the three Great Grandmasters in Leizhou but paid them no mind, as their target was the Dragon Ball. They didn’t wish to assist either the Daqian Empire or the Yinyang Sect.

In Qingzhou, Han Li also saw the return of the three Ancestral Masters to Tianxuan Mountain from afar, a look of joy appearing on his face.

With three Great Grandmasters holding fort, Tianxuan Mountain was temporarily secure. If he could find an opportunity to show up under an alias and deter all parties, Tianxuan Mountain could be saved.

“Huh?”

Han Li suddenly detected two unfamiliar and powerful auras within the range of his Spiritual Sense, and in a flash, he teleported over there.

“To think they are two Great Grandmasters at the pinnacle of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.”

Observing the two hidden in the mountain range, Han Li was surprised. Since when did Qingzhou have so many Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm?

After careful investigation, Han Li learned of their origins and received crucial intelligence.

These two were Grandmasters of the Demon Clan, sent by the Demon Emperor and the female Demon King to compete for the Sacred Dragon Ball. However, they did not anticipate that the Dragon Ball would be concealed within a Secret Territory, contended for entirely by True Martial Realm powerhouses, rendering them useless in the struggle.

The Demon Queen instructed them not to show themselves for the time being as this place was protected by a concealing formation, one that even martial arts experts at the early stage of the True Martial Realm could not detect.

However, since the Demon Queen had entered the Secret Territory for quite a while, and considering that the Daqian Empire no longer possessed combat ability at the True Martial Realm, the two demons thought they were strong enough to dominate across Daqian, so they decided to come out and gather some information.

“That True Martial Realm female cultivator is actually the Demon Queen of the Demon Clan,”

Han Li murmured to himself, his expression becoming even more excited.

Capturing a True Martial Realm female Demon Queen was a thrilling prospect; he hadn’t even tasted a demoness before and wondered if this Demon Queen was as succulent as imagined.

After glancing at the two demons, Han Li’s figure vanished without ever being detected from start to finish.

He wasn’t an opponent for the two Demon Clan Grandmasters and didn’t wish to provoke trouble without cause; they had the backing of the entire Demon Clan, an overwhelming force for Han Li.

That Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing might very well be a martial emperor at the Divine Yuan Realm.

Within the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm,

after the former Emperor Qian, Chu Wuji, and the Buddhist Sect’s Tuoshan Kong made their appearance, Long Yue faced two more enemies.

The Yinyang Sect Hierarch, Black-clothed Emperor Wu, and the Demon Queen all showed signs of joy. If the nine True Martial Realm warriors truly cooperated, they might be able to snatch the Dragon Ball from the dragon maiden.

Da Jing’s True Martial Realm elder frowned, though he had anticipated it, the difficulty of his ambush had now increased.

The elderly man in hemp garments had a complex expression. The addition of two more True Martial Realm martial kings greatly increased their chances of obtaining the Dragon Ball, but it also made his attempt to assassinate Chu Hao and Chu Wuji that much more difficult.

Seeing that the crowd seemed ready to act, Chu Wuji continued, “This opportunity is rare. If we nine at the True Martial Realm join forces, even the dragon maiden will not be able to withstand our attacks.”

“Only by injuring the dragon maiden and forcing her to give up the Dragon Ball do we stand a chance. Otherwise, not only will we leave empty-handed, we’ll also incur the dragon maiden’s enmity, even if we don’t manage to seize the Dragon Ball.”

“This dragon maiden’s temper is fierce, and she has a long memory for grudges. Once she takes the Dragon Ball and cultivates to the Divine Yuan Realm, she will definitely seek retribution against all of us here.”

The expressions of the True Martial Realm martial kings shifted slightly as what Chu Wuji said made sense.

Seeing this, Long Yue realized that a safe retreat was impossible, so she took action directly. She launched her Left Hand Lightning Fist and Right Hand Sky-obscuring Seal, striking towards the nine True Martial Realm martial kings.

“Since you seek death, then let this deity grant you your wish,” she declared.

If she could kill one or two True Martial Realm martial kings, their alliance would shatter, allowing her to leave with the Dragon Ball.

Boom!

The nine True Martial Realm experts immediately countered and launched a new attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the dragon maiden in the Secret Territory.

The Demon Queen inwardly lamented; she had only come here to seize an opportunity, but now she had to fight fiercely. Otherwise, she might easily be killed by the dragon maiden.

The elderly man in hemp garments and Da Jing’s True Martial Realm elder both furrowed their brows, having their own plans to assassinate Chu Hao and Chu Wuji but finding no opportunity at the moment, they could only stand against the dragon maiden.

When Chu Hao and Chu Wuji were injured or an opportunity for an ambush arose, they would be ready to strike.

Rumble~

Terrifying power swept in every direction; the Secret Territory’s heavens crumbled, earth reversed, mountains and rivers turned upside down, cosmos inverted, and sun and moon lost their light.

In a one-versus-nine battle against True Martial Realm martial kings, even when surrounded, Long Yue remained composed and at ease, calmly weaving through the battlefield and effortlessly blocking a multitude of attacks.

Thump!

With a gentle slap of Long Yue’s hand, from back to front, she pierced through Tuoshan Kong; then with a punch, she broke the Yinyang Sect Hierarch’s left hand; her palm slice flashed, and Prince Wu’an’s legs were severed; with a single finger, she punctured a blood hole through the Demon Queen’s abdomen, clear from front to back…

Once Long Yue went all out, she absolutely crushed the nine True Martial Realm martial kings. In just a few exchanges, all nine were injured, to varying degrees.

And Long Yue remained unharmed, her attacks either exploding on contact or blocked by her protective aura.

Some weaker True Martial Realm martial kings grew fearful. For example, the Demon Queen thought of retreating; the disparity in strength was just too huge, despite being at the same realm.
