Just as Old Demon Beimang had said, if Old Demon Beimang had wanted to attack him, he definitely would not have been able to block it. There was an extremely high chance that he would have died in Old Demon Beimang's hands.
Dark North Hierarch was not stupid. He had already vaguely guessed Old Demon Beimang's thoughts.
"Beimang, you want to join forces with me to kill Ye?" Dark North Hierarch did not beat around the bush and directly stated his thoughts.
"Yes."
Old Demon Beimang did not hide anything and directly admitted it. Furthermore, the smile on his face had disappeared. His entire person had become extremely solemn.
"Why should I join forces with you? I have already opened the fourth Gate of Heaven, and I have also grasped the great divine ability of Dark North Freezing Sky. Killing this bastard is as easy as pie for me." Dark North Hierarch sneered.
"Hehe."
Old Demon Beimang laughed. However, his laughter was filled with disdain, so much so that Dark North Hierarch's face turned gloomy.
"Fellow Daoist Dark North, do you really not know how powerful Ye is, or are you pretending? Do you think that you can kill him just because you have opened the fourth Gate of Heaven? "Old Demon Beimang mocked.
Dark North Hierarch said with a gloomy face, "What a joke. No matter how powerful he is, there is a limit. If he hadn't set up a trap back then, with his battle prowess, he would at most be able to fight me to a draw. Now that I have opened the fourth Gate of Heaven, my battle prowess is at least ten times stronger than before. Furthermore, I have a great divine ability in hand. Killing him is as easy as pie."
"Do you believe your own words?"
Old Demon Beimang said indifferently. He did not want to argue with Dark North Hierarch at all. He only looked at Dark North Hierarch with a mocking smile.
"You …?"
Dark North Hierarch's face turned slightly red. In truth, he had only said those words to encourage himself. In his heart, he did not dare to be certain that he could kill Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan was simply too mysterious. Furthermore, his methods were extremely sinister and cunning.
"Fellow Daoist Dark North, there is no need for us to feign civility. I opened the fourth Gate of Heaven a million years before you. If I could kill this person, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?"
Old Demon Beimang's face turned slightly solemn as he continued, "Whether you admit it or not, in terms of cultivation and battle prowess, I am to to to surpass you... but even I am not confident. Do you think you can succeed?"
"Hmph."
Hierarch Darknorth laughed coldly, "You, Old Demon Beimang, might be afraid of him, but I'm not. I refuse to believe that a mere Dao Seeking third level cultivator like him, even if he's already stepped into the Undying Realm, would be a match for me?"
Seeing the confident look on Hierarch Beiming's face, Old Demon Beimang said with a gloomy voice, "Do you know who he is?"
"Hmm?"
Hierarch Dark North paused, because he actually heard a slight trembling voice from Old Demon Bei Ming's mouth. Although the trembling voice was extremely faint, it still made his heart tremble violently, and an extremely bad feeling rose in his heart.
"Who is he?"
Dark North Hierarch probed. He had long known that Ye Xuan's identity was mysterious, and that he had mastered many supreme martial arts. How could such a person be a nobody?
However, he had been so focused on his cultivation that he didn't have the time to investigate Ye Xuan's identity. Now, however, when he saw the serious look on Old Demon Beiming's face, he knew that Ye Xuan's identity was definitely not simple.
Hu!
Old Demon Beiming slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, as if trying to calm himself down. However, what he said next was simply earth-shattering, and it made Dark North Hierarch feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned on the spot.
"He's not called Ye Xuan. That's just his alias. His real name is Ye Xuan. He's the one who killed the Lord of the Extreme Devil. Although this name only appeared in the Grand Central Region for a short period of time, and very few people know about his past, I just happened to investigate it." Old Demon Beiming said solemnly.
"What did you say?"
In the next moment, Hierarch Dark North roared with a trembling voice. He simply couldn't believe his ears.
He had naturally heard of Ye Xuan's name before, and he had also heard of his deeds. However, back then, he had only treated it as a rumor. It was simply a fantasy for a minor cultivator to kill one of the most powerful existences in history.
Therefore, Hierarch Dark North Hierarch did not believe in such a thing. He had only treated Ye Xuan's deeds as a joke.
However, after hearing Old Demon Beiming's words, Hierarch Dark North Hierarch's mind was thrown into chaos. The deeds of Ye Xuan in the Grand Central Region kept surging into his mind, causing Hierarch Dark North Hierarch's face to darken.
"So that's how it is. No wonder his combat power is so strange. He could actually kill an Immortal at the Dao Querying Third Level. So, he is Ye Xuan."
Hierarch Dark North Hierarch murmured in a trembling voice. He suddenly felt enlightened. However, he suddenly frowned as if he had remembered something. He then looked at Old Demon Beiming in shock, "Didn't this Ye Xuan die a long time ago? How did he survive the hands of a supreme expert? And how did he appear in the North Region?"
Old Demon Beiming slowly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know how he survived, nor do I know how he appeared in the North Region. However, he is indeed Ye Xuan. This is because I personally went to the Grand Central Region to investigate his whereabouts. I even found a portrait of him. It is exactly the same as this Ye Tian. There is no mistake about it."
"Moreover, it is rumored that this Ye Xuan is proficient in the secret arts of the various supreme orthodoxies. Therefore, I am certain that Ye Xuan and Ye Tian are the same person. There is no mistake about it." Old Demon Beiming said with certainty.
"Then why didn't you tell those supreme orthodoxies that Ye Xuan is still alive? That way, you and I can avoid the trouble of killing him …"
Hierarch Dark North Hierarch's words came to an abrupt halt. He could no longer continue because he had already realized why Old Demon Beiming did not tell the supreme orthodoxies that Ye Xuan was still alive.
The Heavenly Shattering Cauldron!
Yes, the Heavenly Shattering Cauldron.
If Old Devil Bei Mang were to inform the various supreme orthodoxies of this news, even though it would be able to attract the supreme orthodoxies to kill Ye Xuan, the Heaven Shattering Cauldron would also be obtained by them. This wouldn't benefit Old Devil Bei Mang at all.
Killing Ye Xuan was only one of the reasons. The more important reason was the Heavenly Shattering Cauldron in Ye Xuan's possession.
Hierarch Dark North Hierarch instantly understood the crux of the matter. This caused him to feel extremely bitter in his heart. It was no wonder Old Demon Beiming came looking for him. It was because only by joining forces would they have the confidence to kill Ye Xuan.
"Daoist Dark North Hierarch, I don't want to say too much. You should already know my objective. This Ye Xuan is far too mysterious. There was even a rumor that he had killed the Lord of the Extreme Devil. Although this is impossible, there is no smoke without fire. This also proves that this person is indeed very powerful. Even if I opened the fourth Gate of Heaven, I still wouldn't dare to kill him. Right now, only by joining forces can we kill this person and take back the Heavenly Shattering Cauldron."
"Right now, only you and I know about the Heavenly Shattering Cauldron. You don't want those supreme orthodoxies to take it away, right?" Old Demon Beiming said solemnly.
Hierarch Dark North Hierarch did not hesitate at all. This was because he had already seen through everything. Just as Old Demon Beiming had said, joining forces was the best choice.
"Alright, I promise you. After we kill Ye Xuan, you and I will study the Heavenly Shattering Cauldron together. However, I have to warn you in advance. If we continue to be suspicious of each other and allow Ye Xuan to take advantage of this, neither of us will have a good ending." Hierarch Dark North Hierarch said.
"Of course." Old Demon Beiming nodded solemnly.
"You and I will make our preparations. Then, we will kill our way to the Northern Region Celestial Court."
After saying that, Hierarch Dark North Hierarch sat down cross-legged and stabilized his cultivation base and realm. Old Demon Beiming also began to adjust his state of mind. This battle was too important for both of them.
