"Hand over Xu Chuan!"
"Otherwise, we will flatten Taiyi!"
With Qu Heng taking the lead, immediately others echoed.
Their voices were loud, piercing through space and reaching the sacred land of the Taiyi Society.
Countless disciples and elders rushed to the mountain gate, wanting to see what had happened.
Just a moment after Xu Chuan's breakthrough, someone came knocking on their door.
What kind of day was this, so eventful?
These voices soon reached Xuan Sa's ears.
"Hmm?"
"I didn't expect it to be these people who came first!"
Xuan Sa frowned and murmured.
He had expected people from the other four regions, coveting opportunities, to arrive.
But he hadn't anticipated that the local powers of the Eastern Region would come knocking first.
And they were demanding he hand over Xu Chuan.
How ridiculous!
"Go and see, on what grounds do these people dare to challenge our Taiyi Sacred Land?"
Xue Sanjian also said with disdain.
After speaking, the three of them flew directly towards the Taiyi Sacred Land's mountain gate.
Soon, they appeared before these people.
"I wondered who it was, but it turns out to be you trash."
"Losers, how dare you be so presumptuous at our Taiyi Sacred Land!"
Xuan Sa's gaze swept over the arrivals, saying dismissively.
Xuan Sa was very familiar with the five Half-Emperors before him.
Furthermore, four of them were his defeated opponents.
It could be said that almost all the Half-Emperor realm experts in the entire Eastern Region had been defeated by Xuan Sa.
He could ascend to the position of Taiyi Holy Master, not only due to his innate talent but more so due to his invincible strength.
When he broke through to the Half-Emperor realm, he had fought against almost all the powers in the Eastern Region.
In the end, being too lonely in his invincibility, he stopped, returned to the Taiyi Sacred Land, and settled into the position of Holy Master.
Therefore, there was no problem with Xuan Sa calling them trash!
"Hmph, Xuan Sa, others might be your defeated opponents, but I am not!"
"Don't flatter yourself!"
Suddenly, Qu Heng pointed his long sword at Xuan Sa and retorted.
As if this were something to be proud of.
"You?"
"How dare you say that?"
Xuan Sa looked at Qu Heng with contempt.
If he hadn't said it, Xuan Sa would have been furious.
This Qu Heng was also a cunning fellow.
Upon learning of Xuan Sa's heroic deeds of being invincible in the Eastern Region, he immediately sealed his mountain gate and hid inside, refusing to come out.
No matter how Xuan Sa challenged him, he hid like a turtle.
It was precisely because of this that he had no record of defeat against Xuan Sa.
It was just that Xuan Sa did not expect that such a disgraceful act would become Qu Heng's capital to boast to him.
"Hmph, enough nonsense, Xuan Sa, we just want to know if you'll hand him over!"
Qu Heng said angrily.
The hatred and anger in his heart were difficult to suppress; only by killing Xu Chuan could he hope to quell it.
If it were in the past, he, alone, would never dare to trouble Xuan Sa.
But today was different. He had not only allied with several other major powers in the Eastern Region but also had the Xuan Tian Sacred Land behind him.
This was his confidence!
"Hand over Xu Chuan, and your Taiyi Sacred Land will have a slim chance of survival, otherwise, you will only have death!"
The Holy Master of the Taixu Sacred Land also stepped forward at this moment and said coldly.
The two Holy Sons of his Taixu Sacred Land had died or were injured at Xu Chuan's hands, leaving the sacred land without successors.
Only the death of Xu Chuan could possibly resolve such a deep-seated hatred.
As for the opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm, he did not care much.
Firstly, his cultivation had just barely broken through to the Half-Emperor realm. Even if he obtained the opportunity, he would not be able to break through to the Emperor Realm.
Instead, it would be a hot potato, a threat to his life at any moment.
Secondly, he knew very well that with their combined strength, they could not snatch the opportunity from the hands of the Xuan Tian Sacred Land, and might even lose their lives in the process.
Therefore, his goal was the same as Qu Heng's: to kill Xu Chuan and avenge himself!
Of course, if he could witness the annihilation of the Taiyi Sacred Land, that would be even better.
"Let me hand over the person? Look at who you are!"
Xuan Sa said in a deep voice.
At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from him.
Suddenly, the atmosphere outside the mountain gate became extremely solemn and oppressive.
"Do you deserve it?"
Xuan Sa roared.
As he spoke, that powerful aura swept over the group.
In an instant, everyone except the five Half-Emperors was pressed to the ground by this aura, unable to move an inch.
Completely incapacitated.
And the five, led by Qu Heng, were not faring any better.
They desperately mobilized their primal energy, trying to counteract the aura.
Their faces turned red, but they could do nothing about it.
Xuan Sa's strength was inherently superior to theirs.
Now that he had opened up his inner world, his strength was simply on a different level.
It could be said that Half-Emperors like them could only be easily defeated by him!
"How is this possible... How could you have become so powerful..."
Qu Heng's face was grim, his expression shocked, unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had originally thought that after reaching the peak of the Half-Emperor realm, he was already on par with Xuan Sa.
And because he practiced sword techniques, he might even be slightly stronger.
It was precisely for this reason that he had openly challenged the Taiyi Sacred Land over the years.
However, now that he was truly facing Xuan Sa, he realized how utterly wrong he had been!
The gap between him and Xuan Sa was like the difference between heaven and earth.
There was no comparison!
But he would never have imagined.
That Xuan Sa's strength reached its current level with Xu Chuan's help.
Without the creation of his inner world, even if Xuan Sa was stronger than him, he would not have been this much stronger.
"Nothing is impossible."
"It was my mercy that I didn't seek trouble with you."
"Yet now you insist on courting death."
Xuan Sa looked at them and snorted.
"Since that's the case, let me personally send you on your way!"
As soon as his voice fell, Xuan Sa's killing intent erupted, and he was about to strike.
Behind him, Elders Xue Sanjian and Zhu Rufeng also stood ready.
With just a command from Xuan Sa, they would attack and eliminate these mere ants on the ground.
Those who dared to offend the Taiyi Sacred Land deserved only death!
Let these first arrivals feel their wrath!
Sensing this chilling killing intent.
Everyone, including Qu Heng, began to panic.
Large beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads.
This wasn't right, this wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
They had gathered so many people and so many factions, not to force Xuan Sa to hand over Xu Chuan and the opportunities?
Shouldn't they be the ones crushing Xuan Sa?
How had it come to this, where they were waiting to die?
Under the threat of death, the newly formed alliance was about to crumble.
Some were already planning to beg for mercy, hoping Xuan Sa would spare their lives.
"All of you, die!"
However, Xuan Sa did not give them that chance.
He decisively intended to kill them.
In the sky, a massive hand suddenly appeared, descending upon them with terrifying power.
A suffocating feeling instantly descended.
Death was imminent.
"Holy Master Taiyi's actions are a bit too cruel, don't you think?"
Just as they were all preparing to close their eyes and await death, a voice came from afar, breaking the current stalemate.
Immediately after, a beam of sword light flashed, shattering the descending hand.
The crisis was instantly averted.
Everyone showed expressions of relief after escaping a disaster.
