This person was none other than one of the nine Sword Sovereigns of the Battle Sword Sect, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. She was also Li Hanyou's master.
At the instant she appeared, the gazes of everyone landed on her. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was still as young and beautiful as ever, looking to be in her thirties. However, her countenance was solemn and solemn, and her eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. From this, one could see that she wasn't young anymore. It was only because of her strength that she looked young.
Everyone recalled the rumors regarding the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. This woman's way of doing things was eccentric and willful, doing whatever she wanted, never listening to the opinions of others. She was lofty and aloof, and even the sect leader of the Battle Sword Sect would find it hard to persuade her. This was the uniqueness of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect all had their own personalities, and the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was a perfect example.
Although she was known to be ruthless, she was also extremely protective of her disciples. Her requirements were extremely harsh and strict.
This was the first time Qin Wentian met the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. Indeed, her personality was just like her voice, giving off an aura of arrogance, akin to a plum blossom standing proudly in winter.
"Master." Li Hanyou called out. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness glanced at her before nodding her head lightly.
"Old witch, are you here for the treasure in my body as well?" The Human Emperor Ye Qingyun laughed. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness frowned when she heard how Ye Qingyun addressed her, but she wasn't truly angered. The Human Emperor was from the same generation as her, and the two of them were acquainted when they were young. There were many conflicts between them, and as time passed, their cultivation bases grew stronger and stronger. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was still as beautiful as ever, hence, Ye Qingyun referred to her as an old witch.
Ye Lingshuang was somewhat worried. Although the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was also a disciple of the Battle Sword Sect, her status was extremely high. She wouldn't care about an ordinary disciple like her. Also, based on her personality, who could stop her from doing what she wanted? If she was truly here for the Human Emperor's treasure, she wouldn't give up so easily.
"This treasure is of some use to me." The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness spoke.
The Human Emperor coldly snorted as he stared at the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, "So it turns out that you are also such a vulgar person. Just a mere treasure, do you really think you can dominate the Immortal Martial Realm? In this place, only you, old witch, are from the Battle Sword Sect. If you want it, I can give it to you.
"Royal Father!" Ye Lingshuang's countenance stiffened as she called out.
The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect all took a step forward. Duan Han stared up in the air as he called out, "Martial Uncle, why must you force her against her will? In any case, do you really think that Junior Sister Lou needs to rely on treasures to contend for the top spot in the Immortal Martial Realm?"
Duan Han already understood the meaning of the Human Emperor's words. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness sat down. Her favorite disciple was none other than her personal disciple, Lou Bingyu. Lou Bingyu's talent was outstanding and even among the Heavenly Dipper Sovereigness of the Battle Sword Sect, she could be considered one of the most outstanding characters. Evidently, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness had high hopes for her.
"Duan Han, this is my business. This time around, you will also be entering the Immortal Martial Realm. Remember not to tarnish the reputation of my Battle Sword Sect." The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness emotionlessly spoke. Duan Han was a disciple under Sword Sovereign Ling Tian, she naturally knew him. As for the others, she wasn't very familiar with them.
In the blink of an eye, it became the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigns guiding Duan Han, causing the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect to be speechless. They also knew that they didn't have the ability to change the mind of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigns.
At this moment, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness turned her gaze onto the members of the Li Clan below as she spoke, "Hanyou is my disciple. Can the members of the Li Clan give this seat some face and not interfere in this matter?"
Li Hanyou's beautiful eyes flashed as she glanced at her second grandpa beside her. Her second grandpa's eyes flickered. The combat prowess of the Human Emperor was towering above the heavens. Although he was heavily injured, the strength of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness should be close to that of the Human Emperor. If they fought, they wouldn't be able to gain any benefits. As he thought of this, he laughed heartily, "Since the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness has spoken, I won't interfere in this matter anymore."
He was someone who could take things in stride. He originally didn't have absolute confidence in today's matter, and with the appearance of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, his confidence grew even smaller. Hence, he might as well give up. If the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness treated Li Hanyou better in the future and guided her, it wouldn't be a bad ending.
"Many thanks." The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness nodded. After which, she turned her gaze onto the members of the Violet Thunder Sect as she coldly spoke, "Why are you all still not scramming? How long do you want to continue embarrassing yourselves?"
"You …" What status did the Supremacy of the Violet Thunder Sect have? His status was equivalent to the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness in the Battle Sword Sect. Yet, he was actually angered by a single sentence from the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. However, he only saw the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness' countenance turning sharp as a surge of coldness gushed forth, enveloping the heavens and earth. At the same time, there were several silhouettes standing behind the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, as though a battle would break out at the slightest disagreement.
He understood that the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness definitely had the guts to back him up.
"See you again in the future." The Supremacy of the Violet Thunder Sect coldly snorted. After which, his silhouette flickered as he soared through the air. Today, the internal conflict in the Ye Country had caused the strength of the ancient country to plummet. But the one who truly lost face was the Violet Thunder Sect. Their losses were exceedingly heavy, and now, they even had to return in defeat. If this matter were to spread, it would be a stain on the Violet Thunder Sect's reputation.
"All of you, remember this well." In the distance, a surging shout resounded like thunder, and it shook the sky and revealed monstrous rage.
How could the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness care about threats? She turned her gaze downwards once more. Right now, only the three transcendent powers remained. The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness faintly spoke, "Do you all want to vie with me?"
The Grand Martial King of the War Country frowned, silently musing at how powerful this woman was. With just a few words, she was able to make the Li Clan give up and chase away the experts from the Violet Thunder Sect. In that case, it was clear that she was the leader.
The experts from the Spirit Luan Country and the Barbarian Race were all staring at her. After which, the female general from the Spirit Luan Country spoke, "I've always respected the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, an outstanding talent amongst females. In today's matter, if the Human Emperor of Ye is willing to hand over the treasure to the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, I will definitely not snatch it away."
This female general was truly intelligent. If the Human Emperor truly took the initiative to hand over the treasure to the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, there was no way they would be able to snatch it away from her hands.
"Since this is the case, I will do the same." An expert from the Barbarian Race nodded.
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Grand Martial King as he replied, "If this is the case, I have nothing else to say."
Only then did the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness feel satisfied. She then turned her gaze onto the Human Emperor as she slowly stated, "I heard that the treasure has already fused together with you. In order to compensate you, if your daughter Ye Lingshuang is willing to enter my tutelage, I am willing to accept her as my disciple."
The Human Emperor's countenance was as calm as ever. He turned his head and stared at Ye Lingshuang as he asked, "Lingshuang, what do you think?"
Ye Lingshuang's countenance was filled with coldness as she stared at the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. She replied, "Today, all the transcendent powers were pressuring my royal father. My royal father single-handedly fought against all of them, killing over ten Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. How glorious was that? Yet there's actually someone who took advantage of him when he was in a precarious position. No matter how weak I, Ye Lingshuang, am, it's beneath me to be her disciple."
"Hmph." The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness coldly snorted, her eyes flashing with sharpness. Ye Lingshuang didn't show any signs of weakness, staring back at her as she icily spoke, "Although you are an elder, I should respect you. But based on your actions, even if we meet again in the sect in the future, I won't bow to you. You should already know that so many experts were here today. If it wasn't for the fact that my royal father was ambushed from all directions, how could there be a chance for you to interfere?"
"This seat won't hold it against you for today's matter. But if you dare to be so disrespectful again in the future, don't blame this seat for teaching you a lesson on behalf of the Human Emperor." The countenance of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was ice cold, yet Ye Lingshuang's gaze was as stubborn as ever as she stared at her.
"Fine." The Human Emperor laughed uproariously. "As expected of the daughter of I, Ye Qingyun. I already knew the ending of today's matter, I only wanted to let you all see clearly what happened, allowing you all to feel the glory of the great sects. The winner is the king, the loser is the vilified, the strong are revered. How could I, Ye Qingyun, care about a mere treasure?"
After speaking, his palms abruptly grabbed towards his chest. A light sound rang out as fresh blood spurted out. The Human Emperor Ye Qingyun had actually plunged his palms into his body, causing blood and flesh to appear.
"Human Emperor."
"Royal Father!"
Numerous cries of shock rang out, the members of the royal clan were all taken aback. Ye Lingshuang's countenance paled, and even the spectators from the Battle Sword Sect and Medicine Sovereign Valley could feel a deep sense of sorrow in their hearts.
How imposing was the Human Emperor of Ye? There was no fear in his countenance when he fought against so many experts, and even after killing so many, he still stood proudly in the sky. But in the end, he still couldn't win against the pressure of so many experts, resulting in him suffering such humiliation.
Duan Han and the other disciples from the Battle Sword Sect all had expressions of respect on their faces. The Human Emperor of Ye was as expected of a hero of his generation. His demeanor was truly admirable. The matter regarding the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness caused them to feel extremely unhappy.
"Don't worry about it." The Human Emperor waved his hands when he saw everyone wanting to step forward. After which, his palms trembled as a small axe appeared from within his body. The axe light shone resplendently, exuding a terrifying might.
"A mere treasure? Could it be that my rise really depended on it? Ridiculous to the extreme. Take it." The Human Emperor flicked his palms as the small axe flew towards the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness. Fresh blood flowed unceasingly from his body, revealing his flesh and bones. This treasure was indeed able to fuse with his flesh and bones, and had long become one with him. This was why he had to use such a bloody method to dig it out.
The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness waved her hands, catching the small axe. The Human Emperor coldly spoke, "I really want to see what rank your disciple, Lou Bingyu, can obtain in the Immortal Martial Realm this time around."
"There's no need for you to worry." The Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness kept the treasure. Since she came here personally, she naturally had high hopes for Lou Bingyu. This treasure was obtained by the Human Emperor Ye Qingyun back then in the Immortal Martial Realm. If it was fused with Lou Bingyu's body, it might be able to guide Lou Bingyu in the Immortal Martial Realm. Not only that, the Immortal Martial Realm rejected external divine weapons. With this treasure, Lou Bingyu's chances would naturally be much higher. She could only hope that Lou Bingyu wouldn't let her down.
At this moment, the sound of wind whistling could be heard from afar. The countenances of the crowd froze as they inclined their heads and stared in the direction of the sound. Over there, three silhouettes could be seen flying over. These three people had extraordinary auras and were clad in long white robes.
Upon seeing these three, the countenances of the crowd all changed. What were the envoys of the Immortal Martial Realm doing here?
The three of them floated in the air, their countenances calm. One of them swept his gaze downwards, and with a wave of his hand, an ancient medallion flew out in the direction of Ye Lingshuang and the others.
Qin Wentian's gaze froze. This medallion was actually flying towards him, and an instant later, it descended before him. Momentarily, the countenances of the crowd all turned to Qin Wentian, as their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
The envoys of the Immortal Martial Realm personally delivered the medallion!
