Xu Chuan pulled Wang Lun and directly traversed the void, returning to the Taiyi Holy Land.
This was a new ability he had developed after breaking through to the first stage of Emperor Venerable.
The space of the Xuan Tian Continent could no longer restrict him.
As long as he willed it, he could instantly travel from one end of the continent to the other.
There was no need to rely on warships and travel for tens of days to reach the Central Region, as before.
It was incredibly convenient.
At this moment, in the Taiyi Great Hall, Xue San Jian and Zhu Rufeng occupied the high seats, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.
So much time had passed, and the number of demons appearing was increasing, and they were becoming stronger.
Although the disciples and elders of the Taiyi Holy Land had been continuously slaying demons, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too obvious.
Furthermore, since arriving in Xuan Tian, the demons had acted with utter disregard for their own lives. After such a long period, even with the protection of the Two Realms Pass, the Taiyi Holy Land had suffered heavy losses.
The Eastern Region had also seen a large amount of territory fall under the control of the demons.
Those places had become paradises for the demons and forbidden zones for humans.
"Elder, the situation is becoming more and more grim, what should we do?"
"All the disciples who went out have lost contact, I'm afraid they have already..."
In the great hall, a peak master anxiously asked the two of them.
Not a single disciple sent out to find a solution had returned, the loss was too great!
Each of them was a prodigy of the Taiyi Holy Land, the future, yet they had now fallen at the hands of the demons.
He saw it with his own eyes and felt the pain in his heart!
The strength of the ten peak masters had all broken through to the fifth level of the Heavenly King realm or above.
Even powerful individuals like Situ Lin had already broken through to the Half-Emperor realm.
He stood to the side, not uttering a word.
Although he had broken through, he had no solution to the current situation and could only watch helplessly.
"Damn demons!"
"If you ask me, let me go and fight them head-on, I don't believe I can't take one of them down with me!"
"The demons have been continuously contaminating the defenses of the Two Realms Pass, and it's afraid we can't hold on much longer..."
After hearing the peak master's reply, the other peak masters and elders began to express their righteous indignation and immense anger.
When had the Taiyi Holy Land ever suffered such a stifling situation?
Each of them held a grievance in their hearts.
Only when all the demons were dead could this grievance be extinguished.
But facing the several Demon Emperors guarding outside the mountain gate, they were utterly helpless and could only watch.
"Quiet!"
Hearing the noisy voices, Xue San Jian's brows were about to furrow into water.
His mood was also very agitated.
Xuan Sa had entrusted the Holy Land to him and Zhu Rufeng, and now it had become like this.
He had no choice but to sacrifice disciples' lives to find a way to solve the problem.
He also didn't know how he would explain it to Xuan Sa when he emerged from seclusion.
But for the sake of the greater good, he had to do so.
"Temporarily, don't panic, try to stall for time."
"As long as we can hold on until either the Holy Lord or the Holy Son emerges from seclusion, the current situation will be resolved."
Zhu Rufeng also sighed several times and spoke to pacify them.
Faced with the formidable demon army, the morale within the Taiyi Holy Land had begun to waver.
If morale scatters, it would be difficult to lead the troops.
The two of them could only try their best to maintain the current situation.
In their hearts, they prayed that either Xuan Sa or Xu Chuan would emerge from seclusion soon.
They were the backbone of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Only they could calm the restless hearts.
And just as everyone was at a loss,
Xu Chuan's figure slowly appeared within the great hall.
"Xu Chuan greets all the peak masters and elders."
Xu Chuan smiled, nodded at everyone, and said softly.
At his status and realm, he no longer needed to bow.
Moreover, they might not be able to accept the bow he offered.
"His Highness Xu Chuan...?"
All eyes in the great hall were drawn to the suddenly appearing Xu Chuan.
For a moment, they were all frozen in place.
Unable to believe their eyes.
They had no sensation of how Xu Chuan had appeared.
They all stared in a daze at the figure standing in the hall.
He was clearly right before their eyes, within reach.
Yet, they felt a sense of unreality, as if Xu Chuan didn't exist.
Furthermore, they could not sense any aura from Xu Chuan; he was no different from an ordinary mortal.
"Good disciple, you are out of seclusion? How was it, did you break through?!"
It was Situ Lin, who had remained silent, who was the first to react, asking with anticipation.
Xu Chuan's appearance rekindled hope in his heart.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Your disciple has not disappointed and has already broken through!"
Without concealment, Xu Chuan stated it directly.
The people present were not outsiders, and he was not worried about the news leaking out.
Besides, what if it did leak?
With his current strength, he truly had nothing to fear!
"Good, good, good!"
Situ Lin said "good" three times.
"The Holy Land is saved!"
"I've long been displeased with those demon spawn, let me and my disciple join forces to kill these bastards!"
Situ Lin had fought with demons in the small world for so long that his body was filled with the aura of bloodshed.
Previously, due to the disparity in strength, he could only wait.
But now that Xu Chuan was out of seclusion, his great saber was itching to be wielded.
Only the blood of demons could extinguish the rage in his heart.
"Excellent, did you hear that? The Holy Son has broken through, and our Taiyi Holy Land now has an Emperor Venerable realm expert!"
"Heaven bless our Taiyi Holy Land!"
"We've wanted to fight for a long time, now that the Holy Son is out of seclusion, it's time to sound the horn of counterattack!"
"Elder Zhu, Elder Xue, give the order!"
Xu Chuan's words were like a shot of adrenaline into the hearts of everyone present.
Before Xu Chuan broke through to the Emperor Venerable realm, he already possessed such terrifying combat power.
Now that he had broken through to the first stage of Emperor Venerable, how strong was he?
They could not imagine!
But one thing was certain, those Demon Emperors outside the Holy Land would definitely not be Xu Chuan's match!
The Taiyi Holy Land would, from this moment on, stand tall!
"Good news!"
At this moment, Xue San Jian and Zhu Rufeng also recovered.
The worry and anxiety on their faces completely vanished.
After holding on for so long, they could finally fight back!
With Xu Chuan out of seclusion, the heavy burden on their shoulders could be naturally passed on to him!
For a moment, the oppressive atmosphere in the entire great hall was swept away.
Joyful smiles filled everyone's faces.
Xu Chuan watched this scene quietly, not interrupting them.
However, it did not last long.
Just then, an extremely arrogant voice came from outside the Holy Land.
"You human scum of Taiyi Holy Land, surrender, don't put up a futile resistance!"
"As long as you willingly hand over your Emperor Weapons, we promise that everyone in your Taiyi Holy Land can be transformed into our noble demons!"
"This is your honor!"
"If you insist on your path of self-destruction, then don't blame us for our ruthlessness!"
