"Prince Cangyu, how dare you!!"
The voice belonged to none other than Cang Yuntian. His cultivation had clearly reached the peak of the ninth-tier Dao Ancestor realm, having gained considerable benefits from his recent trip to the Cangyu Secret Realm.
"Hm?"
Sensing Cang Yuntian's aura, Prince Cangyu's expression grew solemn. However, the arrow was already loosed, and there was no turning back. He gritted his teeth and exchanged a blow with Cang Yuntian.
*Boom!*
With a single strike, Cang Yuntian was pushed back several feet, while Prince Cangyu retreated dozens of feet. The difference in power was evident.
"Cang Yuntian, the Ancestor of Myriad Swords Holy Land. It seems we've hooked a big fish this time."
A calm voice echoed, followed by an irresistible immortal energy that permeated the void, sealing off all directions.
"An immortal expert!?"
Feeling the oppressive pressure, Cang Yuntian looked up and saw a plain-clothed old man. This was the immortal-level ancestor of the Purple Thunder Palace, far superior in status to Lei Zang.
"Purple Thunder Palace, attacking the young master of Myriad Swords. Do you intend to go to war with Myriad Swords Holy Land?"
Cang Yuntian's voice boomed. He was surprised by the sheer audacity of the Purple Thunder Palace, even resorting to having an immortal assassinate the son of their Holy Master.
"Heh heh, war?"
"No... no, why would we go to war?"
The Purple Thunder Palace immortal expert's lips curved into a sinister smile. "If we kill all of you, how do you think Myriad Swords Holy Land will wage war against us?"
"Damn it~"
"That's so shameless!!"
Yu Hongyu glanced at the Purple Thunder Palace immortal expert. Their methods were more befitting of the demonic path than their own. Truly astonishing.
"You..."
Cang Yuntian's lungs felt as though they would explode. Just looking at the man made him feel disgusted.
"Since Qin Wudao has left Myriad Swords Holy Land, all of you shall die!"
The Purple Thunder Palace immortal expert's face turned cold and sinister. His immortal power surged through the void, and with a slight reach of his right hand, a colossal palm, thousands of feet in size, materialized in the air. Clearly, he was unleashing his ultimate move to instantly kill Cang Yuntian, Qin Wudao, and the others.
Given Qin Wudao's heaven-defying talent, if he were allowed to mature, he would undoubtedly become a grave threat to the Purple Thunder Palace and many other factions. At that point, Myriad Swords Holy Land would become unrivaled.
He might even pose a threat to the rule of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom!
After all, even the combined strength of the four Supremes was no match for the foundations of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom. This demonstrated how immensely powerful Qin Wudao's potential was perceived to be.
It was important to remember that even Bing Xiaoxue and others had only reached their current level with the immense resources provided by Ye Xuan. Qin Wudao, on the other hand, did not have a master like Ye Xuan.
Furthermore, it was highly likely that individuals from the Haotian Immortal Kingdom's Imperial Lineage were among the group of assassins, merely operating under different identities!
An immortal's strike was terrifyingly potent!
"Qin Wudao, what a pity for such talent."
"It's just your misfortune to be a member of Myriad Swords Holy Land, and the son of Holy Master Qin Zhangu."
*Rumble!*
As the words fell, the terrifying, sky-obscuring giant palm descended. Cang Yuntian was filled with despair, as he knew he could not resist an immortal's might.
However, Tongbi Yuanhou and Mo Xuanyou, among others, showed no concern. Their master had instructed them to act boldly, and they were confident he could handle the situation.
The Purple Thunder Palace immortal expert's attack was imminent. Just as its power was about to strike,
A figure appeared out of nowhere before the giant palm. With a casual punch, the void shattered, and the immortal palm was obliterated.
Even the Purple Thunder Palace immortal expert stumbled backward. This unexpected turn of events stunned everyone.
"Hm!?"
Cang Yuntian and his companions stared at the figure in the sky, dumbfounded. It was Ye Xuan, who had remained motionless until now.
Mo Xuanyou and the others were also taken aback. Yu Hongyu's eyes widened, her face a mask of astonishment and disbelief. "Master, this is!?"
"Immortal aura, my heavens, no way... Master is an immortal expert? Cough, cough, how old is Master!?"
Yu Hongyu was clearly stunned. While she knew her master was powerful, she had never associated Ye Xuan with the realm of immortals. In her view, her master's strength and the word "immortal" were completely unrelated concepts.
"OMG~~"
Mo Xuanyou and her companions were equally shocked, their mouths agape, almost wide enough to fit their fists. Astonishment!
Utter astonishment!!
Master had actually reached the immortal realm!!
Tongbi Yuanhou, "!!!!!!"
Sensing the incredibly terrifying pressure, Tongbi Yuanhou admitted he was shaken. "My goodness, master, how is this possible~"
Cang Yuntian and the others were even more flabbergasted. The immortal realm! Among them, the most shocked was the Yinhe Emperor, no, the former Yinhe Emperor, Ji Wutian.
"Second Brother... this, cough, cough~~"
"Is it real!?"
Ji Wutian coughed violently, his eyes fixed on Ye Xuan, not blinking. "How is this possible!"
"Second Brother, how could he have broken through to the immortal realm!"
"An immortal realm at less than a hundred years old, my god~"
Ji Wutian confessed he was numb. Damn it, compared to his second brother, his own cultivation of over ten thousand years to reach the peak of the fourth-tier Dao Ancestor realm was utterly pathetic, no, worse than pathetic.
The scene unfolding before him felt like a dream, a dream he would never even have imagined.
Qin Wudao gazed at Ye Xuan in the sky, his eyes filled with a brilliant light. This person was so powerful!
"Who are you!?"
As Qin Wudao was still in shock, the Purple Thunder Palace immortal ancestor's face turned ashen. He looked at Ye Xuan with grave concern. "Your Excellency, think carefully. Are you sure you want to antagonize my Purple Thunder Palace for the sake of an unrelated individual, the son of Myriad Swords Holy Land's Holy Master?"
"Purple Thunder Palace."
Ye Xuan looked at the Purple Thunder Palace immortal ancestor opposite him, a smile of interest playing on his lips. "Actually, I'm quite familiar with your Purple Thunder Palace."
"Previously, your Purple Thunder Palace's Holy Son and the Fifth Elder were killed by me."
"In addition, your Purple Thunder Palace's ancestor named Lei Zang was also killed by me. Of course, there were also many eighth and ninth-tier Dao Ancestors from your Purple Thunder Palace."
*Boom!!!*
These words struck like a world-ending thunderclap, shocking everyone present. Their faces turned pale with disbelief as they stared at Ye Xuan.
The Purple Thunder Palace's Holy Son? The Fifth Elder? Ancestor Lei Zang? And many other eighth and ninth-tier ancestors??
This...
Hearing this, Yu Hongyu was utterly dumbfounded. "My heavens, Master is too fierce! Even our Demonic Sect wouldn't dare to act like this."
Cang Yuntian and the others were even more shocked because they were also aware of these significant losses suffered by the Purple Thunder Palace.
Only Qin Wudao, as if none of this pertained to him, his eyes gleaming, looked at Ye Xuan with admiration. "So cool! Too cool!!"
"It would be even better if I could take such a being as my master, hehe~~~"
