Chapter 188

Failing to repay this grudge makes us no gentlemen! Why don't we three team up, head to the Black Flame Mountain Range, seize that white-robed emperor, and compel him to hand over the ultimate offensive secret technique?

The voice trailed off.

The two demon emperors and the foreign emperor came to an agreement.

They glanced at Duanhunsheng and another human emperor, "Why not team up again?"

Duanhunsheng refused, "I need to return to Tianluo Province."

The other human emperor shook his head, "You go ahead."

Upon seeing this, the supreme demon emperor and the foreign emperor left immediately, "There's no time to lose—let's go!"

Watching the three leave, Duanhunsheng swept his sleeve, ripped open the void, turned into a divine rainbow, and shot toward Tianluo Province.

The remaining human emperor sighed softly and also left.

In the depths of the void, he revealed his true form—a weathered old man in gray robes.

A faint aura of spiritual herbs lingered on the gray-robed old man; his gaze was deep, and recalling the events of the past few days, he let out a wistful sigh.

This pursuit of the Heavenly Origin Ancestor lasted several days, yielding nothing and leaving him severely wounded!

As for going to the Black Flame Mountain Range, he no longer wanted to go.

He suspected that the white-robed emperor had made a move!

Given his knowledge of the Heavenly Origin Ancestor, it's impossible for him to achieve this alone!

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the plan to go to the Black Flame Mountain Range.

Half a day later.

The gray-robed old man concealed his form, returned to the Medicine Family, and immediately entered seclusion.

He is the ancient Medicine Family's patriarch, Yao Quan.

However, he was confident that his concealed aura would go unnoticed; yet that foreign race, having been wounded by the ancient Yin soldiers, had his bloodline power exposed—undoubtedly the patriarch of the Blood Demon clan.

……

In the depths of the void.

Lu Xuan held up the Ye clan's land spanning hundreds of miles with one hand, moving at extreme speed, sweeping across the provinces, blotting out the sky and sun, his momentum overwhelming.

The commotion caused by this is growing ever larger!

After all, Lu Xuan's route is now becoming clear!

Everyone can see that Lu Xuan is heading for Tianluo Province!

Consider that the Heavenly Origin Ancestor was gravely injured by Duanhunsheng and fled; now this white-robed emperor actually intends to single-handedly take on the Ye clan emperor and Duanhunsheng!

It's too terrifying!

Is it that the white-robed emperor's strength is truly formidable, or is he simply too arrogant?

Lu Xuan is followed by many ancient spirit vessels, their numbers ever increasing.

"Boom boom boom!"

Endless divine rainbows surged forth, as many high-star emperors chased Lu Xuan, growing ever more excited.

Although the target white-robed emperor does not conceal his cultivation—he is an eight-star emperor—everyone knows he possesses the supreme offensive secret art, enabling him to bridge the chasm between eight-star and nine-star emperor realms.

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

"If the White Emperor and the Duanhunsheng Palace Master clash, it will be the most terrifying battle in thousands of years!"

"In the previous Yunzhou battle, we failed to witness the White Emperor's combat firsthand—a real pity! This time we finally get to see his fight!"

"Do you think it's possible that the White Emperor is actually a nine-star emperor, pretending to be an eight-star to deceive us? After all, last time at Yunzhou he was only a seven-star emperor!"

「……」

At this moment.

Chen Changsheng sent a mental transmission: "Master, I sense that my clone has already taken the Heavenly Origin Ancestor away. However, the Heavenly Origin Ancestor is severely wounded, and a force of extinction still lingers within him, unresolved."

Next, Chen Changsheng told Lu Xuan what had happened in the ancient lost perilous land.

Lu Xuan couldn't stop smiling.

"Marvelous!"

Old Three truly is a marvelous person!

A puppet clone made the five nine-star emperors of Duanhunsheng run around in circles.

That is, Old Three had no intention to kill; otherwise, Duanhunsheng and his companions would have suffered far more than mere injuries!

One must admit, Chen Changsheng is truly cunning.

Perhaps only he could walk out unscathed from the ancient lost perilous land, for he possesses the Insightful Eye, which other nine-star emperors cannot decipher.

It's entirely a scheme within a scheme!

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes sparkled as she curiously asked, "Master, what are you laughing about?"

Lu Xuan replied, "I was recalling some things about your third junior brother."

Ji Fuyao smiled sweetly, "I feel that your third junior brother is certainly not as simple as he appears."

Lu Xuan laughed and said, "You guessed right. He's not simple. However, you and Ye Chen should not actively investigate his secrets."

Ji Fuyao bit her tender lip, "Alright. Master, I am very much looking forward to it."

A moment later.

Lu Xuan gave a mysterious smile, "Changsheng, what's going on with your cultivation?"

He is genuinely curious now about what the question mark in Chen Changsheng's realm within the system signifies.

Chen Changsheng's face slightly changed, "Master, my situation is somewhat complex; my cultivation involves the secrets of the Southern Wasteland, and I have sworn a heavenly oath never to reveal it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan ceased his questioning.

Chen Changsheng said, "By the way, Master, among the five nine-star emperors who besieged the Heavenly Origin Ancestor this time, one is Duanhunsheng, and another, having been slain by the ancient Yin soldiers, had his bloodline power exposed—he is undoubtedly the patriarch of the Blood Demon clan!"

Lu Xuan furrowed his brow slightly, "Blood Demon Clan Patriarch? What about the other three?"

Chen Zhangsheng shook his head, "The other three have concealed their auras; I couldn't detect their whereabouts. However, another human patriarch is probably not Nan Chenzi of the Supreme Profound Sect. He bears not a trace of the Supreme Scripture's aura."

Lu Xuan's voice ice-cold, "Good. Blood Demon Clan Patriarch, I've taken note of you!"

Chen Zhangsheng nodded, "Thank you, Master! Along the way I've gained much insight into spatial patterns; my evasion technique speed has increased considerably!"

Lu Xuan said, "Good! Then Duan Hunsheng should have already returned to the Main Hall of the Heavenly Net Palace, right?"

Chen Zhangsheng said, "He must have already returned!"

Lu Xuan increased his speed, his form turning into lightning; a galaxy flowed across Above the Void, blazing intensely!

In two hours, we can withstand Heavenly Net Prefecture!

The many emperors behind could no longer keep up with Lu Xuan's speed!

And at this moment.

The news that Lu Xuan would descend upon the Main Hall of the Heavenly Net Palace to launch a great war spread toward the various prefectures of Nan Huang at a terrifying speed.

The three Blood Demon Clan Patriarchs had originally traversed millions of li, but upon hearing this news...

They were utterly shocked!

The Blood Demon Clan Patriarch wore an expression of disbelief, "This white-robed emperor actually dares to go to Heavenly Net Prefecture to seek Duan Hunsheng?!"

The two other demon emperors also felt somewhat doubtful.

It is said that this person is an eight-star emperor!

The gulf between the eight-star emperor realm and the nine-star emperor realm is as vast as the difference between clouds and mud!

Can this white-robed emperor cross that gap?

But given his confidence, he must truly have the strength to fight!

Upon thinking this.

The Blood Demon Clan Patriarch's voice ice-cold, "It seems there's no need to go to the Black Flame Mountain Range; let's head to Heavenly Net Prefecture! Since we haven't obtained that strand of Dao Resonance from the Bronze Ancient Hall, we must seize this supreme offensive secret art!"

The two other demon emperors said, "Excellent! If we join forces, the white-robed emperor's supreme offensive secret art will surely be ours!"

Moments later.

Three supreme emperors directly tore through the Void, shooting toward the Heavenly Net Palace.

And at this time.

In the Main Hall of the Heavenly Net Palace, Duan Hunsheng sat high upon the throne, black mystic mist swirling around him, his gaze sweeping over the many elders in the hall, a sinister smile on his face as he slowly spoke, "The Grand Elder is truly a good-for-nothing! Not only did he fail to bring back Ji Fuyao, but he was slain by that white-robed emperor!"
