Chapter 80: Manifest Saint Battle, the Black Emperor Makes a Move

As for the Azure Cloud Sect intimidating the Three Holy Lands and sending out strong ones to strangle the Four Holy Beasts,

They didn't take it seriously at all.

At most they'd be a little surprised that Spirit Prefecture suddenly produced such a powerful sect out of nowhere.

But that's all there is to it.

The other three holy lands aren't even worthy to carry the shoes of the Heavenly Saint Holy Land.

Our own holy land actually being on par with them is truly an insult!

Only the Imperial Pill Holy Land of Mysterious Prefecture would they slightly keep in mind.

After all, no matter how strong, they can't do without the aid of medicinal pills.

This Imperial Pill Holy Land has deep foundations, and likely has the backing of a major power from the Central Region, the Pill Sect.

He doesn't know how he would feel if he found out the Imperial Pill Holy Land had already defected to the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Nonsense, my young lady's friends are my Su Clan's friends."

"What if I insist on taking them all away?"

Ye Chuixue let out a cold laugh.

The aura of a mid‑Manifest Saint Realm expert burst forth.

The great blade in his hand was already thirsting for battle!

His white hair fluttered in the wind, and with his mighty aura he was practically a Blade Saint incarnate.

Over the past month he had secretly protected the young lady, while the other three friends had helped her many times; the four of them had adventured together, aiding each other and gaining much, all of which he had seen.

He was also shocked by the three friends' talent; in just over a month their cultivation and strength had risen as if riding a flying ship to the heavens, utterly unbelievable.

What kind of sect could nurture such a monstrous genius, and how strong must the sect be?

Besides, our Su Clan isn't afraid of any holy land.

"Huh? You mean we can't just let this go today?"

The leading strong one from the Heavenly Saint Holy Land had a grim face.

Ignorant wretch, don't you know whose territory this is?

With so many cultivators watching from outside, won't you give me some face?

"Hmph, Southern Su Clan, I may not dare say what I'll do to you."

"But this so‑called Azure Cloud Sect is an Eastern Region matter; how can you meddle in Eastern Region affairs across regions?"

"When the time comes, for my holy land to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect will be a matter of a single word; who in the Eastern Region would dare not obey?"

Hearing this, Shi Hao and the three of them walked forward together.

Insulting them is fine, but insulting the Azure Cloud Sect is not.

"Hey, old man, don't shout at us here."

"If you have the ability, go stir up trouble in the Azure Cloud Sect; you lot are just frogs in a well, thinking the Eastern Region is whatever the Heavenly Saint Holy Land says."

Although they themselves aren't clear on how many strong ones their sect actually has.

Their master had told them that the sect's strong ones were out traveling or in seclusion, and that a single order from the master would bring them all together.

Trampling the major prefectures of the Eastern Region, their fame awed the Three Holy Lands.

Leaving other things aside, just the old ancestor alone would be enough to make the Heavenly Saint Holy Land drink a pot.

Without breaking a sweat they could crush the visitors from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Backed by such a great sect, they feared no one or any force in the Eastern Region.

"Hahaha, what is the Azure Cloud Sect anyway, three ants dare to shout at me?"

"I'll kill you right now, then make your sect master personally kneel before my holy land's gate to atone for the Holy Son!"

The Holy Land Elder finished speaking, and the holy might of the Manifest Saint Realm erupted.

His cultivation was the same as Ye Chuixue's, both being mid‑Manifest Saint Realm powerhouses.

The Holy Lord sent him here specifically to crush the killer of the Holy Son.

"How dare you insult the master! No old thing can save you!"

Shi Hao said through gritted teeth.

His five fingers clenched, making a squeaking sound, and veins bulged on his forehead.

The master was his lifesaver, having passed on a peerless cultivation method; he would allow no one to insult the master.

Shi Hao and the three exchanged a glance, each taking out the trump card given by the Water Immortal Elder.

Today it's either the fish die or the net breaks!

"Hah, then no more talk—I'm itching for a fight, let's first use you to sharpen my blade!"

"Miss, be careful."

He knew the miss had a trump card from the clan head, so he just needed to keep killing.

Ye Chuixue leapt up and engaged in battle with the Holy Land's leading strong one.

The two flew straight up to the nine heavens.

The shockwaves of their battle were too terrifying, they would affect everyone here.

Above the nine heavens, the vast holy might continually collided.

It was as if a great calamity were approaching; in an instant wind rose and clouds surged.

Clashes of Manifest Saint Realm powerhouses are rarely seen in the Eastern Region.

The last time Manifest Saint Realm powerhouses clashed in the Eastern Region was when they destroyed the Misty Blue Holy Land thousands of years ago.

That battle made heaven and earth weep, and it was called the Day of the Saint's Fall.

Today Manifest Saint Realm powerhouses clash again, dark clouds pressing down on the city.

The sound of shattering space kept transmitting, and the awe-inspiring holy might spread across tens of thousands of miles.

Dark, heavy clouds descended upon the sky, and the vast, magnificent floating clouds of the nine heavens were all scattered.

"Holy cow! Today I got to see two experts fight—I can brag about it for a lifetime!"

"The Su family's expert actually fought the holy land to protect the Qingyun Sect's people—could their two forces be related?"

"Probably—you didn't see the Su family's legitimate daughter always with the Qingyun Sect's people; could she be in a dual cultivation partnership with one of them?"

"Brothers, broaden your horizons a bit—could she possibly be the dual cultivation partner of the Qingyun Sect Master?"

Outside cultivators all speculated.

But no matter what, these few forces are not something they can provoke.

"Kill them!"

The experts of the Heavenly Sacred Holy Land saw that only these juniors remained.

They all came forward directly, their mighty aura unmistakably displayed.

They came forward with unstoppable killing intent.

Seeing this, Shi Hao and the others all brought out their trump cards.

Two delicate little swords, and a scroll.

A soft whoosh—

The two small swords instantly turned into two giant swords and flew straight upward.

Mu Shuixian's clone also flew out from the scroll, stepping on the two giant swords and charging forward: "Dare to move my Qingyun's people, this emperor will make you fall into eternal reincarnation!"

The Water Immortal Elder had once said, these two small swords are the manifestation of her sword domain, unstoppable, capable of slaying heavens and destroying earth.

As for her clone, there's no need to say more—Shi Hao and the others had already witnessed it in the secret realm.

One sword cut the opponent into pieces.

This is where their confidence lies; relying on these three trump cards, they can naturally leave safely today.

"Water Immortal Empress!"

The Black Emperor once again saw the clone of an old friend, and was extraordinarily excited.

The emperor's aura erupted in an instant, uncontrollable, blasting Shi Hao and the others away……

It directly flew up, following Mu Shuixian's clone away.

Old friend from the past, after a hundred thousand years apart, are you well?

Today, this emperor will fight alongside you once more!

Shi Hao and the others crawled up from a distance, in a sorry state.

Cough cough!

"Holy cow, what's going on with this Black Emperor?"

"He's gone berserk, not even letting his own people off?"

"He's really ruthless!"

Lin Bai spoke first, saying, "Why does this Black Emperor fluctuate between strong and weak?"

Could it be that he's weak against the weak and strong against the strong?

"Shi Hao brothers, rest assured—I haven't used my trump card yet, and with Ye Lao here, we'll all return safely today."

Su Yaoyao also stood up and spoke.

She knows Ye Lao's strength very well.

Even in their Su family, he counts as one of the top two experts.

His sword mastery reached perfection; a single dragon-slaying blade once beheaded a demon dragon of the same realm.

Otherwise, his father wouldn't have sent him to protect her.
