Chapter 503

He suddenly looked alert, and his two ears stood straight up!

"This aura is... not good, there's a Myriad Phenomena True Monarch rushing toward our direction!"

The moment these words were spoken.

Qin Xue immediately thought of something.

Her face changed drastically, and she nearly fainted from fright!

The strength of a Myriad Phenomena True Monarch stood at the very pinnacle of Great Qin.

Their numbers were exceedingly few, such that many cultivators went their entire lives without ever glimpsing one!

And now, this Myriad Phenomena True Monarch had suddenly descended near the Heavenly Demon Sect's garrison.

One hardly needed to think to know the other's identity.

Wang Tong?

How did this old fellow return so quickly?

Qin Xue's face showed resentment.

Her fists clenched tight; from using too much force, her nails dug into her flesh, and a bit of crimson blood seeped out!

She truly had not expected that, having only just barely escaped with her life, she would encounter such a setback!

Still, in her heart she clung to a sliver of luck: "Senior Hei-Bai, can we still leave?"

Hei-Bai Venerable's expression was solemn. He sighed: "A Myriad Phenomena True Monarch — this level of power, even at the height of my prime, I could not shield against it..."

"Wait, he's discovered us!"

The words had just fallen.

Qin Xue's body trembled, and immense terror welled up within her!

The next moment.

Under her utterly helpless gaze.

She saw an old man in a red robe appear out of thin air before her eyes!

Great Protector, Wang Tong!

The instant she beheld the other's face, the last sliver of luck in Qin Xue's heart shattered along with it.

And at this moment, seeing Qin Xue appear here.

Wang Tong's brow arched, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

The other party was merely a cultivator of the Coagulated Blood realm — how could she have bypassed the guards and come outside?

As for the infant in her arms, he paid it little heed.

The only one worth his attention was that little fat dog with an illusory form, black-and-white fur, and wise eyes.

"Mm? This is... Hei-Bai Venerable? The Heavenly Demon Sword has acknowledged a master?!"

As a Myriad Phenomena powerhouse of the same era as Heavenly Demon Sect Master Jiang Mingsheng.

He had naturally seen the other appearing at the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters, often hovering around Jiang Mingsheng.

And he knew the other's identity — only the successive masters of the Heavenly Demon Sword could summon it forth.

So the instant he saw the other appear, he immediately realized that the Heavenly Demon Sword had completed its master-acknowledgment!

Thinking of this, Wang Tong's heart could not help but sour a little.

Over these past several hundred years, he had used every method and means, yet had never gained the Heavenly Demon Sword's recognition.

He never expected that the woman before him would have stolen it right out from under him!

What was even more vexing and stifling was that he still could not make a move.

Wang Tong sighed lightly and turned his head to look behind.

He saw Jiang Xiao had already appeared here.

Wang Tong forcefully suppressed the sourness in his heart, and toward Jiang Xiao, bowed and said: "Lord Bai, we have arrived."

Lord Bai?

Qin Xue was startled with fright.

She could never have dreamed that Wang Tong — whose fearsome might loomed so vast in her impression — would perform such a grand courtesy to a youth, and address him with an honorific!

However, what struck her even more was Wang Tong's sycophantic expression and fawning attitude!

This kind of behavior, which should have been impossible on a Myriad Phenomena True Monarch like him.

Made Qin Xue, beyond her fright, begin to guess at this youth's identity — or perhaps... his strength!

But no matter which it was.

It made her understand.

That this time, she was ultimately doomed to die!

And at this moment.

Jiang Xiao couldn't even be bothered to glance at Wang Tong, and directly shifted his gaze away.

After all, he understood his master's temperament very well.

If they truly intended to give Wang Tong an important role, they would surely have bestowed upon him the post of Elder, to show their regard.

Yet now, even Zhao Hu, a Moon Wheel cultivator, had been bestowed the post of Elder.

And looking at Wang Tong in contrast — possessing Myriad Phenomena cultivation base yet still without any post — was enough to make many things clear.

Therefore, after clarifying that the other was merely a temporary thug for their Jiang family.

Jiang Xiao lost all interest in him.

Afterward, he paid no heed to the terror and unease on Qin Xue's face.

The infant in her arms was also not enough to draw his attention.

His gaze only fell upon the Black and White Venerable.

With just one glance, he saw through the other's true nature.

Jiang Xiao could not help but laugh: "Interesting..."

The words had barely fallen.

The Black and White Venerable could not help but feel a trembling run through his whole body.

He instinctively curled himself up, his mouth clamped tightly shut, not daring to utter another word!

As the true spirit of the Heavenly Demon Sword.

His manner of birth was extremely special, one in ten thousand.

His special life form granted him perception far beyond that of the human race!

Therefore, even though the other party had not leaked any aura.

He could still roughly sense the terrifying nature of the other party!

That invincible aura, like a vast ocean, boundless and unfathomable!

It was enough to show just what an astonishing level the other's strength had reached!

It is no exaggeration to say that, before such a terrifying existence.

Not only the previous Heavenly Demon Cult Master Jiang Mingsheng, but even the Heavenly Demon Ancestor himself seemed somewhat lacking!

Even looking across the entire Great Qin, it would likely be hard to find a worthy opponent!

Who on earth was he?

The Black and White Venerable's blue eyes went wide, and within his heart a storm had already been stirred up!

At this moment, the surroundings were utterly silent.

The atmosphere on the scene was heavy and oppressive.

Qin Xue glanced at the child in her arms.

Then she summoned her courage, preparing to speak, to fight for a slim chance of survival for her own child!

But just then, Jiang Xiao spoke first: "Who are you people? How did you appear here?"

The words had barely fallen when Wang Tong hurriedly explained: "Lord Bai, this person's name is......."

Before he could finish, Jiang Xiao gave a cold snort and suddenly cut him off: "I am asking them, not you. Is that clear?"
