Chapter 56: Jealousy Makes a Person's Face Completely Changed

In Jiang Xuan's view, the immortal treasures within this Five-Colored Ancient Hall held nothing worth his intervention to seize, and the treasures that did attract him he could not obtain no matter what; therefore he was unwilling to kill excessively here, merely slaying a single wolf demon that endangered the Supreme Elder's life.

Down below among the ruin clusters, the belatedly arriving Ye Fan and Pang Bo were shocked beyond words.

"Ye Zi, what realm has Jiang Ge reached? A Great Demon at the Dao Palace level was killed by Jiang Ge with a single sword strike?" Pang Bo swallowed hard, eyes bulging; he was no longer a cultivation novice, he knew the Dao Palace was the second major secret realm after the Life Wheel Sea, and the master of Lingxu Dongtian was a top expert at the Dao Palace level.

Just now during the clash between the two sides, the sky's radiance flowed dazzlingly, the aftershocks of the bewildering divine abilities, techniques, and artifacts shattered all the surrounding building clusters, a terrifying power that could be called city-destroying and pool-annihilating.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo watched with hearts full of yearning; while feasting their eyes they couldn't help but sigh, wondering when they themselves could reach such a realm.

Yet they actually saw the returning Jiang Xuan form his fingers into a sword, his feet not even shifting half a step, a single sword stroke swung out, the soul-shaking, heaven-startling Sword Qi like a meteor from beyond the heavens, blasting toward a wolf demon.

Fingers as sword, swung out!

That Dao Palace-level wolf demon was instantly beaten into a cloud of blood mist, body and spirit utterly destroyed, not even a corpse left behind.

"Jiang Xuan's natural endowment is truly too terrifying." The usually composed Ye Fan could not remain calm at this moment; from entering Lingxu Dongtian until now, only three or four months, how long has it been, Jiang Xuan is already killing Dao Palace experts like slaughtering dogs, and coupled with the thought of his own Ancient Desolate Holy Body cultivation being so arduous, a pang of pessimism rose in his heart.

Collecting his pessimistic mood, Ye Fan rallied again; he was not one to retreat at the sight of difficulty, his Hardship Sea hard as divine iron had also been successfully opened, thinking of this, Ye Fan felt even more grateful toward Jiang Xuan, for all the assistance Jiang Xuan had given...

The remaining elders and disciples were also greatly startled at this moment; while shocked by this heaven-startling sword strike, it was as if they were recognizing Jiang Xuan anew.

Shock and horror!

"Heavenly Pride" was no longer sufficient to describe Jiang Xuan's aptitude; a Monster Genius!

The twenty-odd Great Demons at this moment also knew not what to do, standing in place, neither entering the Five-Colored Ancient Hall nor retreating; for a time the atmosphere grew somewhat eerie.

Yet at this moment, from who knows how many li away, the sound of dozens of divine radiances tearing through the sky resounded through the heavens.

After the divine radiances tore through the sky, there further seemed to be the sound of thousands of troops and horses galloping and roaring; no, the momentum was ten times more vigorous than thousands of troops and horses galloping, like ancient desolate beasts roaring at the heavens.

In a flash, the divine radiances arrived; dozens of figures descended from the sky dome, expressions arrogant, a great banner fluttering loudly in the wind, momentum towering to the heavens!

Yaoguang Holy Land!

One of the most powerful forces upon the Eastern Wasteland Land, ruling the life and death of countless cultivators.

Lingxu Dongtian is one of the Six Great Cave Heavens within the Yan Region; a Dao Palace-level expert can serve as a Cave Heaven master, truly having reached the Peak of Yan Region, yet among this group from Yaoguang Holy Land there are at least ten existences at the Dao Palace level, plus twenty-seven barbaric beasts; it can be said that if this group wished, they could sweep across the entire Lingxu Dongtian, simply terrifying, and this is merely the tip of the iceberg of Yaoguang Holy Land's strength.

Almost at the same time as the thirty-six divine radiances and twenty-seven barbaric beasts descended, a rumbling sound came from another direction high above; eighteen Ancient War Chariots howled forth, wind and clouds changed color, a murderous aura pressing upon this sky dome until it threatened to split open.

Imperial Lineage, Ancient Aristocratic Family, Ji Family.

An ancient family descended from the distant Ancient Inheritance, likewise one of the rulers of this land.

Both sides each occupied one side of the sky dome, confronting each other from afar; a tense atmosphere gathered, ready to erupt; only a tiny pretext was needed, and a battle even more fierce than the previous one would likely explode.

Battle imminent!

"Contend by strength!"

The tense atmosphere dissipated; neither side had confidence in a stable victory over the other; contend by their own abilities for opportunity — this was the decision both sides reached after deliberation.

The two great Holy Land clans almost simultaneously charged toward the Five-Colored Ancient Hall, vast momentum pressing down in all directions.

At this moment, no matter how unwilling the transformed Great Demons who had guarded for many days were in their hearts, they could only withdraw; that blue-clothed youth's single heaven-startling sword had already given them thoughts of retreat, and now the intervention of the Holy Land clans made them completely lose heart.

Circumstances are stronger than people; not half a point is up to the individual.

Everyone of Lingxu Dongtian was bitter; the superiors' people had arrived, so as a subordinate force they naturally had not half a point of speaking rights; moreover, it wasn't only Yaoguang Holy Land that came — as for who the Ancient Hall's immortal treasures would fall to, it depended on whose methods were more brilliant, Yaoguang Holy Land or the Ancient Ji Family.

The current situation had swiftly shifted from contention between Lingxu and the Great Demons to Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ancient Ji Family contending by means.

No matter what, the immortal treasures were now beyond their reach; thinking of this, Sect Master Li and the others sighed inwardly, yet could do nothing; they should face the facts — an immortal treasure related to a Demon Race Great Emperor was fundamentally not something a sect like theirs could touch.

As Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ancient Ji Family broke the prohibition, one stream of auspicious light after another rushed out; those were the radiances of one Magic Treasure after another.

The Qing Di truly went to painstaking lengths, building two tombs for himself — one to bury himself, one to leave some opportunities for later generations.

Otherwise, not to mention this group of Dao Palace realm cultivators, even if all cultivators of Beidou attacked together, they would likely die almost completely.

Jiang Xuan thought to himself; regarding these Magic Treasures, he had no great desire — first, these Magic Treasures were merely ordinary Spiritual Artifact-level treasures; getting them would be best, not getting them didn't matter; more importantly, Yaoguang Holy Land's people were present, so he had no way to act.

Yaoguang Holy Land — he could not afford to provoke them now!

"These belong to my Yaoguang Holy Land; I advise you not to move recklessly, otherwise there will be danger to your lives!"

A young powerhouse of the Holy Land who had remained guarding outside the Ancient Hall spoke in a cold tone, eyes cold and sharp, scanning everyone outside the Ancient Hall, precisely to prevent these people from disregarding rank and disrespecting the superior sect by seizing treasures when the Magic Treasures flew out.

The indifferent gaze lingered on the area where the Lingxu Dongtian crowd was for a moment; the meaning was self-evident — do not harbor thoughts you ought not have.

The four Supreme Elders, Sect Master Li, Elder Wu Qingfeng, and the others all had ugly expressions; just because of the difference in sects, the difference in strength between the superior sect and the subordinate sects — although all were at the Dao Palace level, they dared not move to seize treasures; the stifled feeling in their hearts had nowhere to vent.

The numerous disciples at this moment also lowered their heads; Yaoguang Holy Land's imposing manner was truly too arrogant and domineering; at this moment they were like ostriches, hoping they would not be noticed.

"Hm?" That young powerhouse of Yaoguang Holy Land's eyes slightly condensed; his sharp gaze shot straight toward Jiang Xuan.

The youth who had originally been scanning the Lingxu Dongtian crowd below, looking at this group of old fellows who, even with higher cultivation than him, dared be angry but not speak, that stifled appearance — to him it was a kind of enjoyment.

As for those disciples, they were even more unworthy; fundamentally no one dared raise their heads to look at him; this satisfied his vanity to an extreme degree.

But within the crowd there was a blue-clothed youth, face indifferent, without that stifled appearance, and also not lowering his head like the other disciples.

Disrespecting the superior sect!

The young disciple was slightly displeased; looking down at Jiang Xuan, a strong surge of jealousy rose in his heart.

This blue-clothed youth he could not see through; his cultivation seemed above his own — how could this be? How could there be a disciple with such cultivation in this corner of Lingxu Dongtian?

Especially that dust-free aura of the blue-clothed youth, even more so made him feel disgust and repulsion; in his heart he secretly calculated how to finish off this damn Lingxu disciple later.

Cultivation suspected to exceed his, a dignified Yaoguang Holy Land disciple; temperament and appearance even more handsome and heroic; compared to him, he was simply like a rustic villager.

How could he, how dare he!

Damn it, must finish him off!

Jealousy makes a person's face completely changed; this Yaoguang disciple at this moment is the fire of jealousy burning, making him ugly beyond measure.
