Chapter 16: Come with me? [Ask for flower review monthly ticket]

The entire massive sinkhole suddenly became strangely quiet at this moment.

It was as if the appearance of the demonic sect came with a suppressive aura, silencing everyone so that no one dared to utter a word.

Everyone lifted their heads, looking at the immense dragon turtle in the sky, towering above them.

They stared at the enormous pavilion on the back of the dragon turtle.

At the peak of that pavilion, standing at the forefront, was a man with a handsome appearance.

His noble blood-red eyes, and long white hair with a few strands of crimson, swayed gently in the wind.

He stood there silently, like a supreme emperor, exuding an innate kingly aura.

This was none other than the current master of the demonic sect, Ling Xue!

It had to be said, that this young master of the demonic sect, now its leader, was indeed flawless in both appearance and demeanor.

On Ling Xue’s left stood Xiao Xiangyu, elegant in her long, emerald-green dress.

On his right was Yu Yaoyao, as eye-catching as ever, with her seductive attire radiating a dazzling purple glow, her posture bold and alluring, hand on hip.

Behind them were Lin Feng and Baitu, both silent.

Further back, there were many experts from the demonic sect!

The presence of the demonic sect was, of course, extremely formidable.

Four out of the Twelve Devil Fiends were present, and with Ling Xue, that made five in the Divine Origin Realm.

Behind them were numerous experts in the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Looking across the whole scene, this lineup was probably second only to the mysterious force below led by seven Divine Origin Realm experts.

Yun Luoxi’s cold and aloof gaze also shifted to Ling Xue, who stood on the pavilion atop the dragon turtle.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Ling Xue was a strikingly handsome and unparalleled new leader of the demonic sect.

But in her eyes, there was only hatred and coldness toward Ling Xue.

And just at this moment, as Yun Luoxi’s gaze fell on Ling Xue, it seemed he sensed it, for his eyes shifted toward her.

Despite the great distance between them, their eyes met.

Ling Xue’s lips curled into a slight smile—Yun Luoxi was here, which certainly made everything better.  

Noticing Ling Xue’s gaze and the hint of a smile on his lips, Yun Luoxi immediately scoffed coldly and looked away.

She didn’t say a word!

Ling Xue simply smiled before his gaze swept across the massive sinkhole.

He took in the entire Cangyun Tianshan* with a single glance.

[*” Tianshan (天山)”: Refers to a famous mountain range in China, often used symbolically to denote a grand and imposing landscape.]

Indeed, many people had come!

And that was exactly what he wanted.

An illusion—an illusion that convinced everyone the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique was truly here.

The more it seemed this way, the more Yun Luoxi would believe it was real!

In this way, he could obtain the true, complete Heaven and Earth Sword Technique.

There was one more thing…

Some of the people who came today… didn’t seem to have good intentions.

Yun Luoxi, of course, was the first one harboring ill intentions toward him—probably for the rest of her life.

But aside from her… there were others!

Ling Xue’s cold gaze shifted toward a group of black-clad people below.

Seven Divine Origin Realm experts? Quite a lineup!

“They’re likely here for you!” Xiao Xiangyu, standing beside Ling Xue, spoke calmly.

They had also noticed the group of black-clad people below, led by the seven Divine Origin Realm experts.

Ling Xue was the young master of the demonic sect, and now its leader!

A master with extraordinary strength and a strong sense of unity.

With him in charge, the once-glorious demonic sect would surely rise again.

By then, everyone would once again be trampled beneath the demonic sect’s feet.

So, upon learning that the demonic sect had a chance to revive, of course, some couldn’t sit still.

Now that Ling Xue was coming to Cangyun Tianshan, those restless people naturally wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity.

“Be careful!” Xiao Xiangyu whispered softly.

Seven Divine Origin Realm experts—this kind of lineup wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

After all, they only had five Divine Origin Realm experts on their side!

“It’s fine.” However, Ling Xue merely smiled faintly.

One late-stage Divine Origin Realm, three mid-stage, and three early-stage!

This lineup seemed powerful, but in reality… it was nothing to fear for the current Ling Xue.

Not to mention that behind him stood Xiao Xiangyu and three other Divine Origin Realm experts—he alone, with his invincible combat power within the Divine Origin Realm, was enough.

Even if all seven of them attacked him together, they might not be able to kill him!

Seeing Ling Xue so confident, Xiao Xiangyu and the others didn’t say anything more.

Since he was so assured, he must indeed have confidence!

“Move!” Ling Xue then waved his hand lightly.

Behind him, Xiao Xiangyuand the other three nodded and immediately leaped into action.

The four Divine Origin Realm experts descended simultaneously, standing in the four directions of east, west, south, and north below.

Then, four vast auras burst forth at the same time, and the four of them slammed their palms down toward the ground!

Boom!!!  

In an instant, a loud explosion echoed, and the entire sinkhole trembled.

The four mighty auras rushed into the earth simultaneously!

Then, in all four directions, four intricate formations began to emit dazzling light.

This place used to be a small kingdom.

The perimeter created by the four formations happened to enclose the palace of that ancient kingdom.

And the palace… was actually built on top of the ancient tomb.

It was constructed over the tomb of the first emperor of this small kingdom!

Normally, if only one or two people wanted to enter the tomb, they just had to find the formation points and could sneak in.

But if you wanted to enter on a large scale, of course, you had to open the main gate and activate all four formations simultaneously!

With the combined efforts of Xiao Xiangyuand the other three, the four formations finally connected!

And then… boom!!!  

With a loud crash, the ground where the palace once stood shattered, and everything turned to dust.

A massive, square void twisted into view before everyone’s eyes.

Only now did they realize why no one had been able to find the entrance to the tomb.

Because the tomb was built in another space.

And to fully open this space, the four formations had to be activated at the same time!

“It seems they know this place very well!” In the distance, floating in midair, Yun Luoxi and Liu Wenwan gazed at the giant space below and remarked.

Now, getting the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique seemed even less likely.

Just then, Ling Xue, without anyone noticing, had already appeared beside Yun Luoxi.

When Yun Luoxi realized it, she immediately shifted aside a little, as if fearing Ling Xue might do something to her.

Ling Xue merely smiled lightly and said to Yun Luoxi in a soft voice, “Come with me?”

If he brought Yun Luoxi along, then when the time came… she would naturally witness with her own eyes as he obtained the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique!
