Chapter 561

"Wait a moment."

Facing Xiao Yixian's inquiry, Ye Qingxiao looked at the still-calm border between the two realms and shook his head slightly.

Then, with a leap, Ye Qingxiao arrived in front of the people from the Xuanli Realm, his gaze following the Green Demon clansmen who had already retreated into the border area, casting toward that Demon Realm world where demonic energy was spreading.

After hesitating for a long time, sensing an inexplicable sense of unease, Ye Qingxiao finally gave up the plan to lead the cultivators of the Xuanli Realm to invade that Demon Realm world.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Yixian behind him, he said softly:

"Junior Brother Xiao, pass down the order for the cultivators of the Xuanli Realm to garrison in place first, and we'll talk after seeing the specific situation at the border between the two realms."

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's decision, Xiao Yixian also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Senior Brother."

Then he left this place and went to the locations of the various Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Xuanli Realm to pass on the order.

Facing the invasion of the Green Demon clan, although the cultivators in the Xuanli Realm had formed a coalition army.

But under the coalition, it was still dominated by one or several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, divided into small groups.

If it weren't for Ye Qingxiao's strength being strong enough, and him being a direct disciple of the Profound Yi Tianzong, a hegemon-level force in the Di Xuan Realm, coupled with the support of several other direct disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong, the Xuanli Realm and other human cultivators from the Di Xuan Realm might not necessarily obey Ye Qingxiao's orders and let him lead the coalition of the Xuanli Realm.

After Xiao Yixian left, Ye Qingxiao's heart stirred, and the spell patterns condensed within his body began to circulate.

A faint phantom split from his shadow, then merged with the earth and fled at high speed toward the Demon Realm world bordering the Xuanli Realm ahead.

This was one of the spells Ye Qingxiao practiced, the Earth Shadow Technique.

The Earth Shadow clone condensed by the Earth Shadow Technique could merge with the earth, and after detaching from Ye Qingxiao's shadow body, it could exist for a long time by relying on the earth elements within the earth.

Although the strength of the Earth Shadow clone was less than thirty percent of Ye Qingxiao's peak, it was perfect for scouting information in various dangerous places.

Sensing that his Earth Shadow clone had already fled into the territory of that Demon Realm world, and was currently following far behind the retreating Green Demon army, following these Green Demon troops toward their final destination.

Ye Qingxiao sighed faintly and whispered:

"Sigh, I hope this time, I can scout some useful information!"

In the previous few times, he had also condensed an Earth Shadow clone to sneak into that Demon Realm world.

It is just a pity that every time before he could scout any useful information, his Earth Shadow clone would lose contact with him due to the border between the two realms re-entering the violent period, and under the interference of violent rule fluctuations, it would directly dissipate in that Demon Realm world.

But this time, the border between the two realms was still in a peaceful period; as long as he avoided the scouting of the experts in that Demon Realm world, his Earth Shadow clone had a great hope of scouting some information.

In the Blood Moon Realm.

The Green Demon cultivators who had retreated from the human Xuanli Realm were flying at high speed toward Prince Xieyue's location under the leadership of six peak Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen.

Upon arriving at Prince Xieyue's location, the six leading peak Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen came before Prince Xieyue, ignored the gazes of others, and knelt on one knee:

"Subordinates pay respects to Your Highness the Prince."

At this time, the area where Prince Xieyue was located had already gathered quite a few Green Demon cultivators from the Blood Capital Realm.

Looking at the six peak Nascent Soul Realm experts kneeling on one knee before Prince Xieyue, those Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen from the Blood Moon Realm and Blood Capital Realm all showed expressions of disbelief.

And those Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen had different expressions, with inexplicable colors appearing in the depths of their eyes.

Prince Xieyue sensed the various gazes of the other Green Demon clansmen, smiled slightly on his face, and said:

"Get up! How is the situation in the Xuanli Realm this time?"

These six peak Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen were trusted subordinates that Prince Xieyue had brought down from the Green Demon Realm.

Although their strength was below Prince Xieyue's, it was far superior to those peak Nascent Soul Realm experts in the Blood Moon Realm.

This was also one of the reasons why Prince Xieyue let his six trusted subordinates and other peak Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm jointly lead a portion of the Blood Moon Realm army to tentatively attack the Xuanli Realm.

Although the previous invasions by the Blood Moon Realm army were mainly to probe information about the Xuanli Realm and to paralyze the cultivators of the Xuanli Realm.

But for this kind of tentative invasion battle, Prince Xieyue was also unwilling to lose most of the experts of the Blood Moon Realm.

If the coalition formed for the previous few tentative attacks had all been led by peak Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm.

Prince Xieyue was really afraid that these peak Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm would fall into the Xuanli Realm due to carelessness and Ye Qingxiao's schemes.

Only by sending trusted subordinates who knew the situation well and had outstanding strength to participate and occupy a leading position.

Prince Xieyue would not worry about such things happening, thereby avoiding the loss of a large amount of high-end combat power on his side before the total decisive battle arrived.

Plus, this invasion battle was initiated by him.

If he did not use a portion of his own power in the first nine tentative invasion battles, it would likely cause criticism from those experts in the Blood Moon Realm and reduce his control over the Green Demon army of the Blood Moon Realm, among other unfavorable situations.

Therefore, whether for the safety of the Blood Moon Realm's high-end combat power or for the better execution of his subsequent plans.

Prince Xieyue had to send his six peak Nascent Soul Realm trusted subordinates along with other peak Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm to jointly lead the Blood Moon Realm army to launch nine highly dangerous tentative great battles.

Fortunately, his six trusted subordinates did not let him down.

In the previous nine tentative invasion battles, they had always followed his instructions and did not get entangled in the battle.

While occupying a leading position in the coalition, they led the many Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm in the coalition to avoid Ye Qingxiao's edge.

While showing weakness to the enemy, they successfully preserved most of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Blood Moon Realm army.

Looking at his six trusted subordinates before him, the satisfaction in Prince Xieyue's eyes became even richer, and he even stretched out a hand to use spiritual power to take the initiative to help them up.

Hearing Prince Xieyue's order and sensing Prince Xieyue's active support.

The six peak Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen stood up with honored expressions, and the gazes looking at Prince Xieyue revealed a very obvious look of piety.

After standing up, one of the peak Nascent Soul Realm Green Demon clansmen stepped forward, bowed, and cupped his hands:

"Reporting to Your Highness, in the ten great battles, the experts who appeared and participated in the Xuanli Realm included a total of thirty-seven peak Nascent Soul Realm experts, one hundred and twenty-three late-stage Nascent Soul Realm experts, and seven hundred and eighty-six early and mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm experts."

"Besides this, there shouldn't be many hidden experts left in the human Xuanli Realm." Hearing the report from his trusted subordinate, Prince Xieyue's brows furrowed slightly.

"Nearly a thousand Nascent Soul Realm experts?"

The number of human experts in this Xuanli Realm was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

However, thinking that the Xuanli Realm had also opened a cross-realm passage to its upper realm, the Di Xuan Realm, Prince Xieyue felt a bit relieved.

After all, in the Blood Moon Realm and Blood Capital Realm, there were also quite a few experts from the Green Demon Realm who had come down to gain experience.

It was just that among these experts from the Green Demon Realm, several whose strength and background were no weaker than his were unwilling to listen to his orders and led quite a few Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Green Demon Realm to remain outside the Blood Moon Realm coalition.

Up to now, among those Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Green Demon Realm, only two or three out of ten were willing to listen to his orders.

Otherwise, if all the experts from the Green Demon Realm were willing to join the coalition, the peak combat power he could mobilize would at least skyrocket by a large margin.

Fortunately, the other few experts from the Green Demon Realm, whose strength and background were no weaker than his, although they were puzzled by his various actions, did not come out to cause trouble regarding his formation of the Blood Moon Realm coalition and the invasion battle launched against the human Small Thousand World.

Otherwise, he could not have so easily coerced the entire Blood Moon Realm and openly commanded all the cultivators of the Blood Moon Realm to form the current coalition.

But Prince Xieyue knew that although these experts from the Green Demon Realm did not listen to his orders and had always remained outside the coalition.

These experts were also very concerned about this invasion battle against the human Small Thousand World.

If the border between the Xuanli Realm and the Blood Moon Realm had not been completely stabilized before, these experts would likely have spontaneously taken action against the human Xuanli Realm.

"If these experts outside the coalition could be made to cooperate with the two-realm coalition to launch an attack together, then the chance of forcing out Ye Qingxiao's trump cards in advance and conquering the human Xuanli Realm would be much greater."

Just as Prince Xieyue was secretly pondering, Mo Li, a peak Nascent Soul Realm expert from the Blood Capital Realm, stepped forward, stared at Prince Xieyue's six trusted subordinates with a gloomy face, and questioned: "Where is Mo Wu'er? Didn't he follow you to kill into the human Xuanli Realm? Why don't I see him coming back?"

Not seeing Mo Wu'er upon returning to the Blood Moon Realm, Mo Li already had a bad premonition in his heart.

But before hearing the specific situation of Mo Wu'er, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Hearing Mo Li's inquiry, Prince Xieyue's six trusted subordinates did not reply immediately, but looked up at Prince Xieyue.

After Prince Xieyue nodded slightly and received his consent, one of Prince Xieyue's trusted subordinates responded with an indifferent expression:

"Mo Wu'er did not listen to our advice and insisted on arrogantly trying the strength of the human Ye Qingxiao, and as a result, he was killed on the spot by Ye Qingxiao."

Mo Wu'er had come from the Blood Capital Realm to join the coalition and enter the Xuanli Realm temporarily, and Mo Wu'er's attitude had displeased Prince Xieyue.

Therefore, before Mo Wu'er entered the Xuanli Realm, Prince Xieyue's people did not arrange a partner for him or bestow upon him the teleportation array disk.

And Mo Wu'er, who was very arrogant about his own strength, did not care about this; after entering the Xuanli Realm, he rushed toward Ye Qingxiao very recklessly, and as a result, he was directly killed on the spot by Ye Qingxiao.

At this time, hearing the news of Mo Wu'er's fall, Mo Li's face became even gloomier.

Glancing at Prince Xieyue's six trusted subordinates and then at Prince Xieyue, Mo Li finally took a deep breath and said coldly to Prince Xieyue: "When the decisive battle begins, I ask Prince Xieyue to lead the coalition of the Blood Moon Realm and my Blood Capital Realm to kill the human Ye Qingxiao and avenge my brother Mo Wu'er."

He had heard the great name of the human Ye Qingxiao from Prince Xieyue.

But with Prince Xieyue concealing things, Mo Li only knew that Ye Qingxiao was the strongest human cultivator in the Xuanli Realm at present, but he was only strong to a limited extent and did not exceed the scope of the peak Nascent Soul Realm.

In Mo Li's view, when the Nascent Soul Realm experts of the Blood Moon Realm and Blood Capital Realm gathered, surrounding and killing a mere Ye Qingxiao would be an easy task.

Mo Li even had the idea of personally killing Ye Qingxiao to avenge Mo Wu'er after the total decisive battle arrived.

Opposite him, Prince Xieyue saw that Mo Li did not turn against him because of Mo Wu'er's fall, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He could naturally easily suppress and kill a mere Mo Li.

But Mo Li was one of the leaders of the Green Demon clan in the Blood Capital Realm, and this trip was to represent the Blood Capital Realm in forming an alliance.

On the side, there were quite a few other Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Blood Capital Realm who had already arrived in the Blood Moon Realm watching.

If Mo Li turned against him on the spot because of Mo Wu'er's fall, even if he forcefully killed Mo Li to deter the experts of the Blood Capital Realm, it would cause the experts of the Blood Capital Realm to be alienated from him and have a high possibility of no longer listening to his orders.

At that time, it would directly affect his subsequent plans.

Fortunately, Mo Li was sensible enough not to turn against him because of a mere Mo Wu'er, but chose to transfer his anger to Ye Qingxiao.

And this point was exactly what he wanted.

With a gentle smile on his face, Prince Xieyue opened his mouth slightly, preparing to say something to appease Mo Li, but his expression suddenly changed, and he looked toward the rear of the Blood Moon Realm army and roared:

"Who is spying in the dark?"

While speaking, Prince Xieyue instantly launched a spiritual sense attack toward a piece of land behind the Blood Moon Realm army.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound was heard, the piece of land attacked by Prince Xieyue's spiritual sense began to dissipate into wisps of shadows.

Sensing this, Prince Xieyue's expression eased slightly, and he whispered:

"A shadow clone? Who exactly is it? Could it be that human Ye Qingxiao?"

Thinking of this, Prince Xieyue's gaze flickered slightly.

Looking at the two-realm Green Demon army that was somewhat chaotic due to his actions, Prince Xieyue raised his hand to appease everyone: "Everyone, no need to panic; it was just a shadow clone with low strength, which has already been crushed by this Prince."

Subsequently, Prince Xieyue looked at Mo Li, who had not yet retreated, and stated on the spot:

"Brother Mo Li, rest assured; when the coalition of the Blood Capital Realm all arrives in the Blood Moon Realm, this Prince will inevitably take the lead in mobilizing the experts in the coalition to surround and kill the human Ye Qingxiao."

Hearing this, Mo Li looked deeply at Prince Xieyue and said indifferently: "Since that is the case, the Blood Capital Realm cultivators under my command are willing to listen to Prince Xieyue's dispatch."

In fact, Prince Xieyue's guess was correct; what had just been discovered by him was indeed Ye Qingxiao's Earth Shadow clone.

After Ye Qingxiao's Earth Shadow clone followed the Blood Moon Realm army here, it sensed from afar that a large number of Green Demon experts had gathered here.

In order to scout more information, Ye Qingxiao's Earth Shadow clone had to constantly approach the core area here, but it did not expect to be discovered directly by Prince Xieyue because it was too close.
