His voice boomed like a thunderclap.
Inside the main hall of the Ancient Immortal Court, the expressions of several Elders changed drastically, and for a moment, the hall was silent.
The Holy Lord's face was ashen, his heart filled with an unending surge of fury, almost on the verge of erupting then and there.
A junior dared to speak so presumptuously on his territory!
Yet, he couldn't refute it.
He was also aware of the matters concerning Fire Lotus City and Tian Yin.
But the problem was, Tian Yin's assassination attempt on Jiang Ye was never discussed or revealed to them beforehand, and now Jiang Ye couldn't find the person, so he came to the Ancient Immortal Court to cause trouble?
Crucially, he didn't dare to resist.
At this time, the Dragon Vein Secret Realm was about to open, and he didn't want any mishaps to occur.
What's more, Su Hongye was currently stationed in the Void Realm outside the Ancient Immortal Court's sky, her pressure like a mountain; any slight movement would trigger a destructive war.
The Holy Lord gritted his teeth, finally suppressing his anger, and forced himself to say, "What Divine Son Jiang has said, our Ancient Immortal Court will thoroughly investigate."
"If there truly are people secretly colluding with external enemies, our Ancient Immortal Court will never shelter them and will severely punish them!"
Jiang Ye responded indifferently, "I'll remember those words."
His tone was light but carried an undeniable pressure.
The Holy Lord took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Divine Son's visit to the Ancient Immortal Court today not only revealed hidden dangers but also helped our Ancient Immortal Court cleanse itself. Such righteousness will naturally be etched in our Ancient Immortal Court's heart."
Jiang Ye was too lazy to listen to his continued hypocritical talk, tapping his finger lightly on the jade table, his tone suddenly sharp, "Stop beating around the bush. I'm here today to demand that you hand over the Azure Radiance Divine Liquid as an apology."
The Holy Lord's expression immediately changed, "This..."
"Don't tell me you don't have any," Jiang Ye interrupted coldly, "My mother once said that the Ancient Immortal Court used the Azure Radiance Divine Liquid to suppress an ancient formation, and you still have some left."
A vein throbbed slightly on the Holy Lord's forehead.
The Azure Radiance Divine Liquid was one of the Ancient Immortal Court's foundations.
Although not peerless, it was essential for maintaining the foundation of the ancient immortal formation.
If so much was handed over at once, it would surely be a heavy blow to the Ancient Immortal Court's foundation.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to compromise.
Su Hongye was outside, and Jiang Ye had clearly stated this was an apology.
If they didn't apologize, it would mean the Ancient Immortal Court admitted to participating in the assassination.
Once Su Hongye made a move because of this, other Dao Domains could take the opportunity to press in, and by then, even if the three Old Ancestors revived, it would be difficult to prevent the Ancient Immortal Court from being annihilated.
The Holy Lord gritted his teeth and finally bowed his head, "Since that is the case, our Ancient Immortal Court will take out the remaining Azure Radiance Divine Liquid, totaling thirty-six bottles, and present them to Divine Son Your Highness as an apology."
As his words fell, the entire hall trembled.
Jiang Ye's lips curved slightly, looking at the Holy Lord with a half-smile, "The Holy Lord is indeed reasonable."
The Dragon Vein Secret Realm was about to open, and powerhouses below the Saint Realm could not enter.
He was currently only in the True King Realm, but with the blessing of many Great Daos and a full set of trump card Emperor Weapons, he was practically invincible below the Saint Realm.
However, to ensure foolproof safety, it was always right to make extra preparations.
After putting the Azure Radiance Divine Liquid into his storage, Jiang Ye stood up, a meaningful smile on his lips.
He glanced at everyone, then swaggered out of the hall, and Su Qingmeng followed him.
The Holy Lord's face was extremely grim, as if he had swallowed a dead fly, yet he still had to force a smile, only able to watch Jiang Ye leave.
However, just as they were about to exit the palace gates.
With a bang.
From the depths of the Void Realm, a black Demonic Light suddenly tore through the air, mixed with a dense Evil Qi, like a black meteor streaking across the sky, heading straight for Jiang Ye!
It was a man dressed in black, his entire body enveloped in a dark aura, his face indistinct.
Only a pair of blood-red pupils were as terrifying as the abyss of a demonic domain, holding an ancient cauldron, with monstrous blood Qi and surging Evil Qi.
"Blood Fiend Cauldron!"
An Elder of the Ancient Immortal Court's pupils constricted, recognizing the Demonic Weapon at a glance.
"A great fiend of the Demonic Path dares to intrude upon the Ancient Immortal Court!"
You Sha's figure was like lightning, holding the Blood Fiend Cauldron and smashing it down fiercely, the Demonic Light carrying boundless malice, almost shattering space.
He was clearly coming for Jiang Ye, making his move without any probing, his killing intent fully revealed!
However, Jiang Ye's expression was calm, even a cold smile played on his lips. He, who had not moved a single inch, now turned his head indifferently to look.
"Courting death!"
Before his words finished, the heavens and earth trembled!
A cold snort, like thunder, echoed as Su Qingmeng pushed out a palm, a vast expanse of light scattering, immortal Dao patterns filling the sky. That was the aura of a Half-Step Emperor, overwhelming the eight directions!
The Blood Fiend Cauldron's radiance instantly dimmed, shattered by her palm. You Sha's figure was also sent flying backward at the moment of impact, coughing up a mouthful of black blood.
You Sha's face was distorted with ferocity, his body blurring in the Void Realm, actually beginning to dissipate, turning into wisps of black mist and rapidly escaping.
His speed was astonishing.
The Holy Lord of the Ancient Immortal Court watched this scene, his face so gloomy it almost dripped water.
At this point, how could he not understand that this was a trap deliberately set by someone!
You Sha's appearance was simply too coincidental, and the assassination process was also very crude.
In broad daylight, a mere Supreme Realm expert made an assassination attempt, as if only to attract attention.
After failing with one strike, he immediately fled.
He secretly suspected that either Jiang Ye himself, or forces from other Heavenly Dao Domains, had secretly orchestrated this; this was an attempt to frame them!
"Divine Son Jiang, this... this was not arranged by our Ancient Immortal Court!"
An Elder hastily explained, his voice already tinged with a tremor.
But Su Qingmeng's eyes were icy cold, and she angrily rebuked, "So your Ancient Immortal Court actually colluded with people of the Demonic Path to attack the Divine Son of my Longevity Jiang Clan?"
Jiang Ye no longer wasted words, directly raging, "My Longevity Jiang Clan will launch an Immortal War against your Ancient Immortal Court, and even the entire Ancient Immortal Domain!"
Boom!
As Jiang Ye's words fell, the heavens and earth suddenly vibrated violently, as if ancient gods and demons were reviving.
A vast and unparalleled Emperor's might descended from the high heavens, like a red sun falling, blood-colored clouds rolling, illuminating the entire Ancient Immortal Court.
Su Hongye had made her move.
Rumble!
That palm stretched across the sky, obscuring the sun and moon, as if crushing down from the Nine Heavens, palm lines like mountains and rivers appearing, the Heavenly Dao roaring in response.
It directly shattered the Ancient Immortal Court's protective formation, the formation patterns in the sky crumbling like an ice surface, turning into a sky full of flowing light and falling!
"The protective formation... shattered?"
"This is... the might of an Emperor!"
"Su Hongye personally made a move! The Jiang Clan is serious!"
Su Hongye overlooked all beings, like an emperor descending upon the world.
Her Phoenix eyes were cold, her voice like ice and frost, "My son has been repeatedly assassinated, and you actually colluded with the Demonic Path. How can this Emperor stand by and do nothing?"
The Holy Lord's gaze was solemn, his face extremely ugly.
He had long known that this mother and son were up to no good, but he hadn't expected them to be so decisive, directly tearing off all pretenses, not even bothering to act anymore.
Many Elders of the Ancient Immortal Court cried out in alarm, their faces pale, and some deacons even knelt directly on the ground, utterly terrified.
Conversely, the Holy Lord's expression was calm, as if resigned to his fate.
