Chapter 374: Slaughtering a Second Step Peak!

At the same time.

Hehuan Shangren and Kuteng Shangren were still fighting!

A Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator is strong beyond measure.

The area between the two of them could no longer be recognized for what it once was; there were only bottomless ravines and a scene of devastation as if the world had been destroyed.

In the distance, the demonic cultivators were all trembling with fear because of the battle between Hehuan Shangren and Kuteng Shangren!

And it is worth mentioning.

"Kuteng Shangren, you old immortal, it seems you really have grown old!"

As they fought, Hehuan Shangren suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hehuan Shangren, how has your strength increased so much?? It has only been a few decades!!"

Kuteng Shangren felt only shock.

Yes, Kuteng Shangren had actually fallen into a disadvantage.

The reason outsiders could not tell was simply because, when one's cultivation realm reaches their level, unless one side possesses near-crushing or absolute crushing strength, a battle will take at least a dozen days, and it is even possible for it to last for months.

"Cackle, do you think I would tell you?"

Hehuan Shangren sneered.

Yet, the figure of Ye Bai appeared in her mind.

Her resolve to bring Ye Bai back to Moyuan City became even firmer.

Of course, she did not want to kill Ye Bai.

Even if Ye Bai had made her lose face and she was very displeased.

She would imprison Ye Bai in Moyuan City forever, making him her plaything for all eternity, the kind she could use however she pleased!

The reason her strength was greater than Kuteng Shangren's was because the gains from her two dual-cultivation sessions with Ye Bai were simply too great!

Normally, she and Kuteng Shangren were evenly matched.

But it was those two slivers of increased strength that allowed her to seize the gap in their battle and continuously amplify it!

"Little Brother Ye Bai, wait for me!

In at most half a month, I will drive Kuteng Shangren away, and then I will take you home and dote on you endlessly!"

This was a thought that popped into Hehuan Shangren's mind after she glanced toward the direction of the Tianren Sect!

She did not think there would be any accidents.

Things were already stable on Kuteng Shangren's side, and Zhao Guang inside the Tianren Sect had likely already resolved all trouble and was keeping a tight watch on Ye Bai!

"Cough, cough..."

"This ancestor... is not reconciled..."

Zhao Guang was dead.

He died under the siege of Ye Bai and the other nine!

Never mind letting Hehuan Shangren and Kuteng Shangren outside know what happened here; he could not even voice his final words, which could only echo in his own heart!

Originally, relying on his Second Step Peak strength, even if he were in a sorry state, he could have fought for a very, very long time; for an existence like him, dying from exhaustion was almost impossible.

However, he should not have, he absolutely should not have, struck that palm toward Ye Bai and activated the protective ability of the World-Destroying Black Lotus!

A mere wisp of Destruction Qi was actually something he could not suppress, even with the Great Dao Power he had gained insight into and could faintly invoke!

"A mere Mortal Realm cultivator, how could you possibly possess two Innate Spiritual Treasures..."

Before he died, Zhao Guang realized that the God-Slaying Spear in Ye Bai's hand was of the same grade as the World-Destroying Black Lotus, because the aura of destruction within the God-Slaying Spear had also caused him great trouble.

"If this matter were exposed, the entire Xuanyuan World would go mad, right?"

"Never mind the Fourth Step, even figures at the Dao Lord level might personally take action just to kill and seize the treasures..."

Zhao Guang's aura faded away bit by bit.

"It's over!"

Seeing this, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao stopped their attacks and both began to pant.

Although the battle had not lasted very long—less than an hour—and for most of the time Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had held the advantage, the psychological pressure Zhao Guang brought was immense!

"Haha, this is the kind of Xuanyuan World encounter we brothers should have!

What is this about being targeted by a Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator the moment we arrive?"

Situ Chengdao could not help but laugh out loud the next moment.

He had been stifled for decades.

"Who's to say otherwise?" From the moment Ye Bai arrived in the Xuanyuan World, he had also been walking on thin ice, cautious at every step.

"Brother Bai, let's retreat!" Situ Chengdao then proposed.

"It is time to leave the Tianren Sect and, while they are still fighting outside, leave the Southern Region!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai's gaze sank. "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Situ Chengdao was puzzled.

Ye Bai's gaze fell upon the Sect Master of the Tianren Sect and several Peak Masters.

"Two benefactors, I am the Sect Master of the Tianren Sect. I want to thank you for helping my Tianren Sect resolve the villain; my Tianren Sect will prepare two gifts..."

At first, the Tianren Sect Master thought Ye Bai wanted benefits.

Even for the Righteous Path, after helping with such a big task, there should be some reward, right?

"Everyone, I have something to say," Ye Bai interrupted directly.

"First, we are not the experts you think we are, who snuck in from the outside specifically to deal with this demonic cultivator. Some time ago, we were actually just two disciples of the Beast Taming Peak of the Tianren Sect—of course, we were forced by circumstances to pretend.

Secondly, I want to tell you now that everything you have is fake; the Tianren Sect is fake, your strength is fake. You are currently living inside an array set up by a Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator—the one you call your ancestor—and at any moment you could die and be turned into nourishment for his Dharma Treasure!"

Next, Ye Bai said.

Yes, he was not planning to leave directly; he wanted to tell the group from the Tianren Sect the truth about this place!

Do not forget, Ye Bai had long realized that Huzi actually had his own thoughts, which meant that everyone in the Tianren Sect, although influenced by the formation, were still living people.

They were not supposed to be here, destined to become members of Kuteng Shangren's Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the future.

Without opportunity, they would live their own ordinary lives; with opportunity, given their true talent, they were also destined not to be weak cultivators.

Of course, Ye Bai would speak up to warn them only because he knew that Hehuan Shangren's side would not be able to finish so quickly; within his power, he would help these ordinary people among the natives, but he could not put himself in danger for their sake, and he could not control the fact that Kuteng Shangren would later find more natives to build a new Tianren Sect.

If these people did not believe him, Ye Bai would only choose to leave directly, at most letting them see the true scene of the outside world when he left!

However.

To Ye Bai's surprise.

After he spoke, the group from the Tianren Sect was initially shocked and disbelieving; he had originally thought it would be very difficult to gain the group's trust.

"So, that is how it is!"

Not long after, Shaoyao was the first to give a bitter laugh!

"No wonder, no wonder that although I am clearly at the Second Step, Third Stage, I felt in the battle just now that any one of you three could have crushed me to death like an ant with a casual wave of your hand!"

"No wonder I wake up every day feeling uneasy, always feeling that I could die at any moment.

And I had also long discovered that the so-called Core Disciples who became the Old Ancestor's students, who were said to return to become the next Sect Master successors, I have not seen a single one return in hundreds of years..."

Shaoyao actually had a premonition long ago, and at this moment, she was instantly awakened by Ye Bai's few words!

She did not suspect that Ye Bai was lying to them, because with the strength Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had just displayed, there was no need!

And since Shaoyao believed, it meant that the Tianren Sect Master and the others believed!

An unexpected joy was then delivered before Ye Bai!
