Standing at the entrance of the cave, Nie Tian and the others stared blankly into the distance.
Thousands of black-garbed warriors hovered in the air above the cave like a dark cloud, surrounding the entire Thousand-Devil Mountain.
These warriors guarded the entrances of the Thousand-Devil Mountain, not daring to relax in the slightest.
They were the Imperial Guard of the Dying Night Empire, who had been ordered to seal off the entire Thousand-Devil Mountain.
Nie Tian frowned at the scene outside the cave. "Looks like the matter of the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus has been exposed."
He knew that sooner or later, the matter of the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus would be exposed.
But he hadn't expected it to be this serious.
The Dying Night Empire valued the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus very much, and had mobilized the Dying Night Imperial Guard to surround the entire Thousand-Devil Mountain.
There were three thousand of them, and every one of them was a late-stage Paramount God.
The presence of so many experts at the same time was absolutely shocking.
Inside the cave, Nie Tian's eyes focused on a black-garbed swordsman, and his face darkened. "This is bad. Even that guy is here."
"That black-garbed swordsman's aura is so strong. Who is he?" Ni Jianming couldn't help but ask.
"One of the three legendary swordsmen of the Land of the Forsaken, Anye Mingya," Nie Tian answered, his eyes surging with worry.
He had never imagined that Anye Mingya would be here.
"What should we do?" Nie Tian's face darkened, and his mind raced.
Given the strength of Nie Tian and Ni Jianming, there was no way they could break out of the encirclement.
"It's a pity that His Excellency Di Xi isn't here." Ni Jianming frowned and sighed.
Nie Tian glanced at Ni Jianming, but didn't ask where Di Xi had gone.
He thought for a moment, then locked his eyes on the person next to Anye Mingya: Ye Chenli.
"I guess I can only gamble!" Nie Tian stared closely at Ye Chenli and made up his mind. He turned around and said to Ni Jianming, "You guys stay here first. Don't go out."
"Nie Tian, what are you doing?" Ni Jianming couldn't help but ask when he saw Nie Tian's strange expression.
"Ni Jianming, take Brother Lin Chen and leave." Nie Tian smiled. His silhouette flickered as he dashed out of the cave.
Ni Jianming and Lin Chen were stunned at the same time. They clearly did not expect Nie Tian to rush out like that.
They wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Nie Tian's figure was already outside the cave.
"Sir Dark Night Sword Saint, long time no see." Nie Tian dashed out of the cave and hovered high up in the sky. He looked at Anye Mingya with a playful look on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Nie Tian!" Upon seeing Nie Tian, Ye Chenli let out a strange cry and took a step forward.
At the same time, the thousands of Passing Night Star Guard took a step forward as well. Their boundless energy surged toward Nie Tian like raging waves.
Nie Tian wasn't afraid in the slightest. His body trembled, and his sword energy surged to block the energy.
Even though his opponents were three thousand late Paramount Gods, it wasn't very likely that they would be able to crush Nie Tian with their energy alone.
"Nie Tian, you're courting death!" Ye Chenli growled. His silhouette flickered as he prepared to attack.
"Stay your hand!" A deep voice rang out, blocking Ye Chenli's path. It was Anye Mingya.
"Teacher." Ye Chenli took a step back, looked at Anye Mingya, and greeted him respectfully.
"You've got guts, Nie Tian," Anye Mingya said, staring coldly at Nie Tian. "I can't believe you dared to come out in the face of such a powerful force."
Less than two months ago, when he had first met Nie Tian, the latter had been a peak Overgod.
Who could have guessed that he would be an early Paramount God now?
Furthermore, his energy seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the mid Paramount God level.
Such a fast rate of advancement was simply too terrifying.
What was even more strange was that Ye Chenli had clearly told him that Nie Tian had entered the fifth level of the mountain cave, but now he had come out of the sixth level.
He had already searched through the ninety-ninth level, and found nothing there.
However, he didn't believe that Nie Tian could just vanish into thin air, so he had sent people to surround the entire Thousand-Devil Mountains.
Just as he had expected, Nie Tian showed up again.
He didn't know why Nie Tian had emerged from a cave on the sixth level, but that wasn't important.
What was important was that Nie Tian had appeared!
"Sword Sage Anye, you sure have a lot of free time. You came all the way here to watch the show."
Nie Tian smiled playfully. "Considering how strong you are, Sword Sage, there's no way you would fight me." Anye Mingya laughed coldly. "You sure have a lot of free time, Nie Tian. You actually came all the way here to watch the show.
Anye Mingya laughed coldly. "There's no need to provoke me, Nie Tian.
Given my status, I don't want to fight you.
Besides, the game is still going on. Of course I'll abide by the rules.
"As you can see, these people in front of you are all late Paramount Gods," Yang Qi said.
That means we're all people who abide by the rules. "
Nie Tian nodded and smiled. "Sword Sage, you sure have a good aura. You really do abide by the rules."
It wasn't against the rules to send out three thousand late Paramount Gods at once.
But the combined strength of these three thousand warriors was something that even a peak God realm expert couldn't compare to.
Even if Nie Tian could kill one warrior with one sword strike, he would still die of exhaustion in the end.
Without wasting any time, Anye Mingya said, "Nie Tian, hand over the Nine Hearts Demon Lotus."
Nie Tian smiled. "Sword Sage, I did take the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus, but I don't want to hand it over."
Hearing Nie Tian's words, Anye Mingya's eyes narrowed. Cold, he said, "You brat, there were over a thousand Nine-Hearts Demonlotuses. You're really greedy to take them all."
"Greed is one of my strengths." Nie Tian smiled. The Nine Extremities appeared in his hand. With a thought, he took out a Nine-Hearts Demonlotus and threw it to Anye Mingya.
"What do you mean?" Anye Mingya caught the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus. He didn't quite understand what Nie Tian meant.
"Nothing," Nie Tian said with a faint smile. "I just wanted you to confirm that I took all of the Nine Hearts Demon Lotuses."
Holding the Nine Extremities in his hand, he said, "Sword Sage, this thing in my hand is called the Nine Extremities. It's a small world inside. All the Nine-Hearts Demonlotuses are inside."
"Really?" Ye Chenli's eyes trembled when he heard that the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus was in the Nine Extremities. His gaze turned red.
"Your Highness, calm down." Nie Tian, however, laughed and said, "Nine Ultimates is marked with my soul imprints. I can destroy it with a single thought."
"As for the Nine-Hearts Demonlotus, it will be destroyed along with it.
I don't think you want to see that. "
