Chapter 528: The Evil Spirit Clan

"Ugh..."

Xiao Han opened his eyes. The dark red sky came into view, and the filthy Evil Qi permeating the air was nauseating, which also made him understand his situation.

"To think I've arrived in the territory of the Outer Realm Evil Clan!"

Xiao Han's heart was filled with helplessness at this moment; what he feared most had come to pass, and he was now in the situation he least wanted to encounter.

In the great battle not long ago, after Yi Huang successfully seized the opportunity to eliminate that mysterious Demon Emperor capable of corroding Spirit Arrays, the tide of battle had begun to shift toward Langya Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Han had even seized the opportunity to summon his final trump card, successfully trapping the two great Demon Emperors, Xuyou and Zimu.

With the battle at this stage, it could be said that Langya Heavenly Palace had victory within its grasp.

What was unexpected was that just as he wanted to finish off the two demons, the Zimu Mysterious Demon Emperor directly risked near-death to use the trump card left on him by the Heavenly Demon Clan Clan Leader, the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor—two full-power strikes from the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor.

A Heavenly Demon Emperor, especially the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor, a super powerhouse ranked in the top three of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, would leave even a powerhouse who had just stepped into the Saint Grade in a state of distress with a full-power strike, let alone a "small fry" like him who was far inferior to the Saint Grade.

Not to mention that, fueled by the threat of death and hatred for Xiao Han, the Zimu Mysterious Demon Emperor unleashed both full-power strikes at once.

"This junior is a member of the Evil Spirit Clan."

If his luck had been bad, perhaps his body would have been torn apart directly by the spatial turbulence, turning into space debris drifting in the endless void.

"Open your eyes."

The youth opened his eyes at the request of the familiar voice. What met his gaze was a white-clad woman with a slightly pale complexion, her eyes as calm as an ancient well yet deep as the ocean.

"What is your name? What place is this?"

It was also fortunate that they were not poor people; after paying the price of having their Protective Saint Artifacts and Magic Artifacts destroyed and all defensive means completely exhausted, they had miraculously survived, though that was limited only to surviving.

The three people who had successfully survived the ordeal were in the worst possible state at the time; even an ordinary Lower Earth Sovereign could have easily killed them, and being swept into the spatial turbulence was a nine-deaths-and-one-life situation.

"This place is Qiling City."

Xiao Han recited this unfamiliar name in his heart. Ever since he had drifted to this mountain range, a full month had been spent on recovering from his injuries. Because he had few Medicinal Pills left, he dared not make too much noise to attract people from the Domain-Outer Evil Clan to investigate. He had no choice but to simply repair life-threatening injuries like broken bones and meridians, while other minor hidden dangers could only wait for an opportunity.

Under such a collision capable of shattering a continent, the void for thousands of miles above Langya Heavenly Palace disintegrated into fragments, and the resulting holes crazily devoured everything they could devour.

But before that, they were at the core area of a collision between two offensives comparable to a full-power strike from a peak Jiang Lingxian.

Fortunately, there was no one else within ten thousand miles of the three people's battlefield. Therefore, under the witness of the entire scene, Xiao Han, Zimu, and Xuyou—the three highest combatants of both sides—were all swallowed by the spatial rift.

Coming back to his senses, seeing the corpses lying nearby through the corner of his eye, the youth swallowed his saliva involuntarily and hurriedly responded respectfully:

"Boom!"

"Which branch of the Evil Clan are you from?"

"The Evil Spirit Clan!?"

When the youth's mind gradually sank into those deep eyes, he was awakened by that cold voice.

One of them walked quickly to the front of the youth and kicked the thin, weak youth far away with a bang.

If it had only been being swallowed by a spatial rift, that would have been fine; with the strength of the three, they could have remained safe even in the center of spatial turbulence.

At this time, the youth was filled with fear and could only wait quietly for death to arrive. Here, no one could resist the big shots from that clan.

He sized up the youth in front of him. The two beasts he had killed were undoubtedly of the Evil Clan, but this one looked no different from the Humans of the Great Thousand World, until Xiao Han caught sight of the evil eye in the palm of the youth, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"Reporting to the senior, this junior is a Mysterious Demon Emperor."

Looking around, Xiao Han breathed a temporary sigh of relief. The place where he was lying seemed quite desolate, and he was still in the mountains.

The first strike: the Quasi-Saint Grade Spirit Array that Xiao Han had spent a year setting up with the resources of Langya Heavenly Palace to easily imprison the two great Mysterious Demon Emperors, Zimu and Xuyou, was shattered on the spot, and the connection between Xiao Han and the Spirit Array was severed.

With the sound of fists hitting the mountain wall mixed with stones being dug out, a narrow path for two people was dug out. An incense stick later, Xiao Han sat cross-legged on the damp ground, and after taking a Medicinal Pill, he began to recover his injuries and Spirit Power.

"You little brat, you dare to resist us and still want to run?"

While answering the question, the Mysterious Demon Emperor felt shocked in his heart at Xiao Han's boldness. To think he dared to take the life of an Evil Clan big shot without a word; was he not afraid of the matter being exposed?

A youth covered in blood was thrown heavily onto the ground. He crawled backward using his hands and feet, looking with fear at the two white figures walking over with ferocious smiles.

The Mysterious Demon Emperor was already suspicious at this time. Originally, he thought the other party was a powerhouse of his own clan, at most a bit bold. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?

He certainly knew the identity of the Evil Spirit Clan, and even more so the significance behind that clan.

Once these words were spoken, Xiao Han's already not-so-warm heart instantly turned ice-cold.

Thinking was one thing, but the Mysterious Demon Emperor still answered the question honestly.

News of this special race could be kept tightly under wraps by the Domain-Outer Evil Clan without a whisper leaking out. Not to mention anything else, the habitat of the Evil Spirit Clan was definitely in the core hinterland under the control of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan, and at the very least, it could not be connected to the Great Thousand World border.

At the critical moment, Xiao Han steeled his heart and charged directly at the two great Mysterious Demon Emperors, Zimu and Xuyou, and detonated all the Spirit Arrays he controlled around Langya Heavenly Palace except for the Protective Sect Array. Under his deliberate control, the aftermath of the Spirit Array explosion poured entirely into the surrounding space where the three were located, and formed a counter-strike with that attack from the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The second strike: Xiao Han became the target of the attack. All the Protective Saint Artifacts he carried were activated, yet they only barely weakened the momentum of the attack. The attack that cut off the world still left him with nowhere to escape, and its speed was so fast that he did not even have time to use secret techniques to fight for his life.

A half-crippled Great Thousand World powerhouse had landed in the hinterland of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan. Xiao Han seemed to be able to see a future where he died in hatred under heavy encirclement.

In Xiao Han's last impression, the three of them were directly separated by the chaotic spatial turbulence. He did not know where he had been swept into, but although he had been thrown into the enemy's territory, he was at least still alive.

"Qiling City?"

Subsequently, Xiao Han endured the pain of shattered bones and tendons, dragged his body to move slowly, took out an Array Disk from the only remaining storage Ring on his body, and activated it with his remaining Spirit Power. An array to isolate his aura enveloped the small mountain. To be safe, Xiao Han added an Illusion Array.

Today, if it weren't for those few people suddenly intruding into his territory, Xiao Han might really not have had any intention of appearing.

When the youth closed his eyes and waited quietly for death, he suddenly heard two almost imperceptible soft sounds. After a long time, he still did not feel his vitality fading, but instead waited for a cold whisper.
