“Such a strong tracking ability…”
Lu Changsheng knew that before the Han Family Head left, he had done his utmost to erase the presence of the members of the Han Family and distort space and time. Yet, Yang Qing’s Heavenly Eye Divine Ability was still able to trace back through time and space to successfully track down the whereabouts of the Han Family.
The powerful ones from the Heavenly Court have terrifying combat strength.
Mount Sanwei, a branch of the Evil Extreme Sect, with members of the Evil Extreme Sect coming and going frequently.
The Han Family Head, together with a few Ancestors, arrived at Mount Sanwei accompanied by Han Jie and Han Shaolin.
The Hall Master of Mount Sanwei personally welcomed the experts from the Han Family: “Hahaha, the Ancient Han Family abandoning the dark and coming into the light is like adding wings to a tiger for our Evil Extreme Sect.”
Although the Ancient Han Family was not among the strongest Cultivator Clans, the Han Family’s Ancestors were experts, and with the vast treasure that the Han Family had accumulated over billions of years, they were comparable to a powerful branch of the Evil Extreme Sect and naturally received the Evil Extreme Sect’s attention.
Upon reaching Mount Sanwei, the Han Family Head did not relax but remained stern: “The Heavenly Court knows that our Han Family has sought refuge with your Evil Extreme Sect. They will certainly send Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to the Lower Realm to capture and kill us. Shouldn’t the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm be behind your Evil Extreme Sect? I ask these Demon Lords to take action and protect our Han Family. We the Han Family are willing to move into the Demon Realm to live, only then can we avoid future troubles forever.”
The Hall Master of Mount Sanwei said: “I have already reported the situation here to the Demon Venerable. The Demon Venerable has agreed to let your Han Family reside within the Demon Realm. Rest here at Mount Sanwei for a while; he will personally come to receive you. Mount Sanwei has a Great Formation that can shield our presence.”
“The Demon Venerable himself coming?”
The Han Family Head was somewhat surprised.
The status of those Demon Lords of the Demon Realm is far higher than that of him, the Han Family Head.
Demon Lords like the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and Cold Bone Demon Venerable have their own territories and subordinates in the Demon Realm. The current Demon Marshal Dugu Mietian is only the nominal commander of the Demon Realm and may not actually command these venerable Demon Lords.
For instance, the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable has a force more formidable than the average Holy Land, not to mention the Ancient Han Family, which is not even comparable to a Holy Land.
The decision by the Demon Lord to personally receive the Han Family’s people had already given great face to the Han Family.
If the Demon Lord arrives, other than the Heavenly Emperor and the strongest Great Experts from the eight Divine Palaces taking action, no one else could detain the people of the Han Family.
“Demon Venerable… If I could become a disciple of the Demon Venerable, I, Han Jie, might have a chance to surpass Lu Changsheng.”
At this time, Han Jie harbored this thought.
The Demon Lord’s power is immense, and he is an expert in Demonic Cultivation Skills.
Cultivating Demonic Arts undoubtedly takes a shortcut; with good luck, one could quickly realize significant progress.
If he, Han Jie, could learn one or two Supreme Demonic Techniques, perhaps his Cultivation Level could unexpectedly surpass Lu Changsheng.
The Han Family had only stayed at Mount Sanwei for three days when suddenly, several of the Han Family Ancestors practicing meditation almost simultaneously opened their eyes.
The Hall Master of Mount Sanwei and the Elders of the Evil Extreme Sect also changed their expressions and looked at each other.
“What’s going on?”
Han Jie, whose Realm was inferior to the others, was completely confused.
Han Shaolin stood up, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: “People from the Heavenly Court have pursued us here.”
A few Han Family Ancestors could not help but feel despair.
The might of the Heavenly Court, today they are afraid they will experience it firsthand.
“You, the Ancient Han Family, consorting with the Evil Extreme Sect, commit unpardonable sins. Today, you shall all be executed!”
A majestic and resonant voice thundered, killing many disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect from Mount Sanwei branch with its thunderous sound, blood flowing from their seven orifices.
The Han Family Head, Han Fan, turned pale: “This is bad, the one sent by the Heavenly Court is Yang Qing, who guards the Southern Heavenly Gate.”
“Hisss…”
The Ancestors of the Han Family turned ashen.
If the Heavenly Court had sent any other Golden Armor Heavenly General, they might have had a chance to counter-kill the opponent, but Yang Qing is one of the four most powerful Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Court, a Great Expert who has lived from ancient times to the present. His strength is like the abyssal Netherworld ocean, deep and unfathomable.
If it were the first-generation Family Head of the Ancient Han Family, Han Long, wielding the Treasured Item “Mountain and Rivers Chart,” he might have been able to contend with Yang Qing.
However, Han Long had already fallen during the ancient battles, and these descendants were definitely no match for Yang Qing.
The members of the Evil Extreme Sect branch were also pale-faced.
One hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals surrounded Mount Sanwei, with armor shining against the sun and an aura that swallows thousands of miles.
None of the Demon Chiefs of Mount Sanwei would be able to escape.
“Take action.”
Yang Qing was expressionless. At his signal, one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals launched their attack on Mount Sanwei.
“Ah!”
A Demon Chief from the Evil Extreme Sect was killed by a formation composed of seventy-seven Golden Armor Heavenly Soldiers, their Magical Treasures reducing him to dust.
This was merely a branch of the Evil Extreme Sect, and it did not have sufficient strength to contend with the one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals led by Yang Qing.
These one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, cultivated by Yang Qing, possessed strength comparable to Holy Lands. To deal with the Evil Extreme Sect Elders and Disciples of Mount Sanwei, it was as easy as flipping one’s hand.
“Cloud-Dispelling Divine Palm!”
With a slap from Han Fan, the wind swept up like rolling clouds, compressing space, and then bursting apart, several dozens of Golden Armor Heavenly Soldiers were drawn into it, instantly turning into nothingness.
“Hmph.”
Seeing Han Fan struggle and even kill his subordinates, Yang Qing waved his Three-Edged Blade, and a massive blade of True Qi converged and formed, piercing through heaven and earth, slashing towards Han Fan.
Once struck by this True Qi, one would immediately fall!
Han Fan’s complexion changed, and he brought out the Mountain and Rivers Chart, absorbing the world-destroying blade of True Qi unleashed by Yang Qing.
The Mountain and Rivers Chart erupted with astonishing suction, forcibly drawing in this blade of True Qi from Yang Qing.
Inside the space of the Mountain and Rivers Chart, as the world-destroying blade of Qi flew in, tens of thousands of great mountains fractured, earth and mountain quaked!
In Qixia City, situated within the Mountain and Rivers Chart, the impact was unavoidable.
The Han Family members of Qixia City hastily circulated their Cultivation Techniques, continuously channeling True Qi into the city’s City-Protecting Great Formation to fend off the residual waves produced by the world-destroying blade of Qi.
Just a single blade of Qi slashed out by the Three-Edged Blade was nearly sufficient to destroy the Magical Treasure Space of the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
Han Fan broke out in a cold sweat.
Without the treasured item, the Mountain and Rivers Chart left by his ancestors, he would have been killed by Yang Qing.
“Your ancestor, Han Long, was a decent man. We once joined forces to slay an immortal Demon Monkey, and he also left you the treasured item, the Mountain and Rivers Chart. It’s a pity that his descendants have strayed from the right path.”
Seeing the Mountain and Rivers Chart, Yang Qing recalled some memories of the past.
Knowing he could only rely on the Mountain and Rivers Chart to protect himself and lacked the power to counterattack, Han Fan pleaded, “Yang Qing, True Sovereign, in recognition of our ancestors’ mutual aid, please spare the Ancient Han Family a lifeline. Our Han Family hasn’t committed any heinous crimes.”
“There’s no turning back after launching the arrow.”
Yang Qing had no intention of sparing Han Fan.
The Mountain and Rivers Chart was a defense Magical Treasure, not an Attack Magical Treasure, and posed little threat to Yang Qing.
On the side of the Heavenly Court, Qiongxiao Sword Maiden, the Third Sword Maiden of Mysterious Lady Palace, had yet to make a move.
The Qiongxiao Sword Maiden, slightly less powerful than Yang Qing, was also a Great Expert in the Longevity Immortal Realm. No one from the Ancient Han Family was a match for her.
“Damn it…”
Several of the Han Family’s ancestors, including Han Fan, clenched their teeth in anger, seeing that Yang Qing had no intention to spare them.
Unfortunately, with Yang Qing there, invincible, however they tried, it was hard to escape.
“Han Jie, you deserve what’s coming to you.”
Lu Changsheng’s target was Han Jie.
Back at Jinglong Mountain, Han Jie, in order to obtain Shangguan Zhao’er, had attempted to plot against Lu Changsheng.
Now, as Han Jie was merely at the first realm of the Immortal Emperor, Lu Changsheng could easily kill him in the blink of an eye.
“How does this guy always have peerless beauties by his side?”
Seeing the woman next to Lu Changsheng, with her cloud-like hair piled high and willow leaf-like eyebrows, exuding a pure and extraordinary beauty, Han Jie was even more envious.
If Lu Changsheng hadn’t joined Jinglong Mountain or Zhengsheng Sect, he, Han Jie, wouldn’t have fallen to his current plight.
It was his encounter with the Evil Extreme Sect and being exposed by the disciples of Lu Changsheng that forced the Han Family to flee in defeat.
All of this, Han Jie attributed to Lu Changsheng.
Han Jie clenched his fists tightly.
Just as Yang Qing was about to make his move again, suddenly, a terrifying Demonic Might descended, and dark clouds swiftly covered the entire sky.
Qiongxiao Sword Maiden lifted her graceful neck, her expression solemn as she watched the approaching master from the Demon Realm.
The temperature plummeted and a chill spread.
“Cold Bone Demon Venerable.”
Qiongxiao Sword Maiden identified the uninvited guest’s identity.
Even Lu Changsheng’s face grew heavy.
Cold Bone Demon Venerable, the inventor of the heaven-defying Demon Pill such as the Crazy Demon Pill, was considered a mad one among the Demon Lords.
In the war of Ancient Times, even after the Demon Realm suffered defeat, Cold Bone Demon Venerable had once proposed the Jade Shatters Plan, intending to detonate the Demon Realm and have all Three Realms perish together.
