"Hahahaha!" A loud laughter could be heard and everyone turned to look at the entrance of the defensive array that Fei Ling had just opened.
A man in a grey robe landed on the square like a ghost. He was holding another man in his hand.
"Revered Lord Wei?" Su Zi 'An immediately recognised the man in the grey robed man's hand as he was Wei Zidao of the Immortal Hunters. A late stage Immortal Emperor expert was actually brought here so casually. How strong was this fella? One must know that Wei Zidao was the strongest immortal in the Vine Mountain of Safety but he was now an ant?
Su Zi 'An had been in the Vine Mountain of Safety for the longest time so he wasn't sure who this grey robed man was.
Su Zi 'An didn't recognise him but Fei Ling and Cha Rui did. The moment they saw this grey robed man, they exclaimed in shock, "Bai Ye?"
"Haha, I didn't think that there would still be people who remember me after so many years. This place is not bad so I shall stay here from now on. I will give you guys a chance to become my disciple and you will be my, Bai Ye's men. "The grey robed man laughed heartily and his tone was extremely joyful.
Even Nie Chongan heard this laughter and he immediately rushed out. When Nie Chongan saw the grey robed man, he also exclaimed in shock, "Bai Ye."
Amongst those who entered the Sword Prison later on, not many recognised Bai Ye. But amongst those who entered the Sword Prison first and arrived at the Vine Mountain of Safety, there weren't many who didn't recognise Bai Ye.
Bai Ye was at the peak of the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and was only a step away from the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. After discovering the Vine Mountain of Safety, Bai Ye, Wei Zidao, Pang Hong and Shang Hegao occupied a piece of land in the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Because Bai Ye was the most ambitious and vigilant, he occupied the largest piece of land. Pang Hong wasn't convinced so he fought with Bai Ye. The result was self-evident: Pang Hong wasn't a match for Bai Ye. Not only that, after Bai Ye defeated Pang Hong, he killed seven of Pang Hong's Immortal Reverents and two Quasi-Emperors.
Just as Bai Ye was about to kill Pang Hong, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao stood out to stop Bai Ye. Only then did Bai Ye stop.
It was also after that battle that Bai Ye was able to fight against Wei Zidao at the Vine Mountain of Safety.
What was strange was that when others were managing their territories, Bai Ye suddenly abandoned his own territory and disappeared without a trace. Pang Hong and Bai Ye had a grudge against each other. The moment Bai Ye left, Pang Hong took over Bai Ye's territory. This was also why Pang Hong's power was the strongest in the Vine Mountain of Safety.
Previously, no one knew why Bai Ye suddenly left the Vine Mountain of Safety. Now, be it Fei Ling, Nie Chongan or even Wei Zidao, who was thrown onto the ground by Bai Ye, everyone knew the reason. This was because Bai Ye had long sensed that the Vine Mountain of Safety wasn't safe, which was why he didn't stay here.
"Haha, Fellow Immortal Nie, not bad. After being in Sword Prison for so many years, there aren't many who can maintain their primordial spirits as stable as you. So this place is under your control. Not bad, you have a good eye. " Bai Ye chuckled again. Nie Chongan was an Immortal Emperor and he was one of the first batch of people to go to the Vine Mountain of Safety. Bai Ye naturally knew him.
"Congratulations Immortal Friend Bai for improving your dao techniques." Nie Chongan clasped his fists and said.
Bai Ye nodded his head and kept his smile, "Nie Chongan, back then, I had already deduced that there was something wrong with the Vine Mountain of Safety. That was why I left the Vine Mountain of Safety. I had also deduced the location of this desert but it wasn't very clear back then. After the calamity of the Vine Mountain of Safety, I deduced that this place was one of the few safe places in Sword Prison. I came back with the intention to occupy this desert. Since this place is under Immortal Friend Nie's control, I wonder if Immortal Friend Nie is willing to join me and establish a foothold in Sword Prison? "
Bai Ye was proficient in the Dao of Heaven and Earth. It was because he deduced that the Vine Mountain of Safety wasn't safe that he retreated. Now that the Vine Mountain of Safety had disappeared, the danger within it had also disappeared. When he deduced again, this desert was already a safe place.
After hiding in Sword Prison for so many years, he was slightly tired even with his physique tempering technique. After sensing that the desert was a safe place, he immediately rushed back. He didn't expect to see the heavily injured Wei Zidao on the way back.
If Wei Zidao wasn't heavily injured, even if he didn't lose to Wei Zidao, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao ignited his vital blood and lifespan so he didn't even have a single drop of energy left. If he met Bai Ye, he would only be captured alive.
The reason why he didn't kill Wei Zidao was because Bai Ye wanted Wei Zidao to stay behind to fetch water from Sword Qi River.
As for why he spoke nicely to Nie Chongan, it was also because Nie Chongan was an Immortal Emperor. Nie Chongan was different from Wei Zidao. Nie Chongan's immortal elemental energy seemed to be thicker and his primordial spirit wasn't severely injured. He suspected that Nie Chongan also had a peak grade physique tempering technique. Otherwise, how could he live so comfortably here?
Another reason was that Nie Chongan had set up a level-six Confinement Killing Immortal Array here. He, Bai Ye, wasn't afraid of this array but he didn't want to get injured in Sword Prison. An early stage Immortal Emperor and a Grade 6 deathtrap array, it was very likely that he would be injured.
"Brother Nie, Brother Fei, what's the matter?" Bai Ye's arrival alarmed even Han Qingru as she walked out.
At the instant he saw Han Qingru, Bai Ye's eyes lit up. Clearly, he saw that Han Qingru had just advanced to the advanced Golden Immortal Stage.
Even though this was the place with the weakest sword qi in Sword Prison, it was still an incredible thing to be able to cultivate and advance here. If she could advance, he, Bai Ye, would have already stepped into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage after so many years. Clearly, Han Qingru must have some secrets on her.
What made him even more delighted was that Han Qingru was so beautiful and she was even a Primordial Yin Cultivator. He had always been fond of women and before he entered Sword Prison, he had hundreds of women in his harem. It was just that after he entered Sword Prison, he didn't think about women because he was busy running for his life. Now, he actually saw an absolute beauty like Han Qingru here. If he let this woman off, then he, Bai Ye, would have lived his life in vain.
As for whether Han Qingru was Nie Chongan's subordinate, he completely disregarded it. He did need a helper like Nie Chongan but what he lacked the most wasn't a helper like Nie Chongan but a beautiful woman like Han Qingru. At the thought of how long he would have to stay in this desert, how could he let Han Qingru off?
"Immortal Friend Bai, our sect head is temporarily not around. If Immortal Friend Bai wishes to stay here, please wait for our sect head to return first." Nie Chongan clasped his fists and said politely.
Bai Ye's face sank as he sneered, "Nie Chongan, the reason why I wish to stay here is not to seek your opinion but to tell you a fact. I will give you ten breaths of time to open up all the defensive arrays here. Otherwise, don't blame me, Bai Ye, for being impolite. "
The moment Nie Chongan said those words, Bai Ye knew that Nie Chongan was lying to him. With Nie Chongan's Immortal Emperor strength, he might be able to join a power but he definitely wouldn't join a sect. Moreover, Nie Chongan's primordial spirit was stable and his cultivation was stable. Clearly, he had recovered very well. How could a disciple of a sect achieve such a degree of recovery?
Han Qingru had roamed alone for so many years and she was no longer that weak and frail woman. Not only did she see the greed in Bai Ye's eyes, she also saw the greed that Bai Ye had for this safe place to live.
Now that Bai Ye was threatening Nie Chongan, she was worried that Nie Chongan would give in so she hurried to stand out and say, "This is Ping Fan's territory. Ping Fan's disciples or cultivators that wish to join Ping Fan, please stand by my side."
Before Mo Wuji left, he passed her the array flags to activate the few deathtrap arrays here. Now that someone wanted to snatch this piece of land away from her, how could she give in?
Fei Ling was the first to walk to Han Qingru's side. Nie Chongan was originally standing by Han Qingru's side but he didn't move. Instead, he took out his magic treasure. Ever since he joined Ping Fan, he never intended to betray them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the vow. Besides Sect Head Mo, who else would be able to give him the Zhi Nature Pill in the Sword Prison? Moreover, he didn't believe that Sect Head Mo wouldn't return the moment Han Qingru activated the defensive arrays.
What made Fei Ling curious was that Su Zi 'An and co. also walked over and stood by Han Qingru's side.
He knew that Su Zi 'An was the wisest person to protect himself. Even though Bai Ye was alone, Bai Ye was actually the strongest person here.
After Su Zi 'An and co. walked over, Cha Rui hesitated for a moment before following suit. After Cha Rui, two more people walked over to Han Qingru's side. Only the three cultivators that originally came with Cha Rui didn't move. Clearly, the three of them thought highly of Bai Ye.
As for Wei Zidao, he was no longer able to move.
Bai Ye was slightly startled because many people here knew of his background and his strength. It could be said that if they were to fight, he would have a 90% chance of winning.
One must know that as long as he killed Nie Chongan, he would be able to control the situation. Anyone below the Immortal Emperor Stage would be like an ant to him.
No, the person in charge just now wasn't Nie Chongan but that puny Golden Immortal girl. Bai Ye looked at Han Qingru doubtfully because he wouldn't believe that Han Qingru was the person in charge even if he was beaten to death.
"Who are you?" Bai Ye didn't act immediately because he wasn't in a hurry. This was the Sword Prison and it wasn't a place where people could come and go as they pleased.
"What has it got to do with you?" Bai Ye was sure that no one would come but at this moment, someone had to come and even answer his question.
Bai Ye suddenly turned around and saw two people walking in.
The one walking in front was a young man who looked very ordinary. However, his black hair and bright eyes were extremely obvious and his body was so well proportioned that it seemed to be perfect. He was sure that this ordinary looking young man was a physique tempering expert and he wasn't weak at all.
On the other hand, the man beside this young man was more ordinary. He wasn't tall and he only had nine fingers. He could vaguely see that Mo Wuji's cultivation level wasn't even in the Immortal King Stage. On the other hand, this thin man with nine fingers was an early stage Immortal Emperor.
Bai Ye's expression turned serious because two early stage Immortal Emperors suddenly appeared here. Even though he wasn't afraid of them, it was still out of his control. Jian Mingcheng went to the Vine Mountain of Safety later so he didn't even know him.
The ones who returned were Mo Wuji and Jian Mingcheng. Mo Wuji had advanced to God Physique Level 4 and just as he was preparing to return, he met Jian Mingcheng who was rushing back. The two of them returned together and coincidentally met Bai Ye who was trying to snatch his territory.
"This Emperor is Bai Ye." Bai Ye's voice was slightly low as he was calculating whether he could use his strongest sacred art to kill two early stage Immortal Emperors.
