Wilderness
People in fear weren't particularly meticulous in their thinking. Even though Zheng Chong had only taken an ordinary spirit-recovery pill, he still firmly believed Ye Zichen's claim that it was a Leopard Embryo Tension-Changing Pill.
Although he'd never heard of a poison like the Leopard Embryo Tension-Changing Pill, given Emperor Ye's methods …..
He didn't think it was fake.
After taking the poison pill, Ye Zichen had Zheng Chong wait to the side.
In the maple forest, after chatting with Xue Qi for a bit, Xue Qi expressed his intention to leave.
"You've only just returned, why are you leaving? Aren't you going to see Stone and the others?"
"Time is a little tight." Ye Zichen chuckled, then furrowed his brows. "Do you know why Zheng Chong has thousands of demon-king-level subordinates?"
Zheng Chong, who was waiting in the distance, sensed the gazes directed at him. He did not dare to be negligent and smiled apologetically.
Xue Qi frowned as he looked at him, his eyes darting around a few times.
"Isn't it the Demon Race that covets the Dragon Vein?"
When he heard this, Ye Zichen nodded, then shook his head. This confused Xue Qi, who looked at him in confusion.
"The Demon Race naturally covets the Dragon Vein. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked Zheng Chong to find you and have you hand over the Dragon Vein. But this is only one of them, not the main point. "
The Dragon Vein was already considered the most precious treasure in the Upper Realm, but even it wasn't the main focus of the Demon Race's trip. Xue Qi couldn't figure out why they were here.
"They're here for the Xuan-Yuan Sword," Ye Zichen said.
"Xuan-Yuan Sword!"
Exclaimed Xue Qi. His shock was mostly due to Ye Zichen's reaction. He knew very well that the Xuan-Yuan Sword's spirit and Soul Pearl Yiyuan had each sealed one of Denglong's souls.
Even if the Xuanyuan Sword was an incredible Divine Artifact, a Divine Artifact that had lost its sword spirit was only made of relatively more precious materials. In terms of effectiveness, it was inferior to a Semi-Divine Artifact.
Xue Qi couldn't understand why the demons would make such a big fuss over a divine artifact without a sword spirit.
The only possibility was …
"Could it be that the sword spirit that sealed Denglong …" Xue Qi hesitated.
"Just as you thought, the sword spirit of the Xuan-Yuan Sword has awakened." Ye Zichen nodded calmly, his gaze solemn. "It's not just the demons of the Upper Three Realms. The yao and gods have sent representatives as well. The people who came are all Supreme-Beings and above. "
"This …"
Immortal kings were already extraordinary existences, but now Ye Zichen was saying that the Three Realms they lived in had a large number of supremes visiting them?
Xue Qi didn't know what to say!
"I came back this time for the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword has been my weapon since my first life. No matter what, I won't let anyone take it away from me."
"But there's no need to be in such a hurry." It'd been far too long since he'd seen Ye Zichen and the others. He really wanted to catch up.
"There's no way to delay. Ever since I came here, I vaguely felt that Sister Xiang was about to recover. "Just now, I used my Divine Sense to find her position. The people from the three sides are already there. It's better for me to get into position now, "explained Ye Zichen.
Now that he knew Ye Zichen had important matters to attend to, Xue Qi didn't insist.
Xue Qi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Then I wish you success."
"Farewell."
Ye Zichen cupped his hands, then disappeared into the maple forest.
The wastelands.
Although the Three Realms was a lower plane, it was so vast that it rivaled even the lower lands of the God Realm's Divine Mountains.
However, more than sixty percent of the Three Realms belonged to the wastelands. Although the land was lush, it wasn't suitable for living.
Most of the vicious beasts that lived there had no intelligence, but they were extremely strong. Back when Ye Zichen was a beggar, he'd spent a hundred years traveling the wastelands. He'd even sensed the aura of peak immortal-king-level vicious beasts in the depths.
Because the wastelands weren't suitable for living and had no natural treasures, few people ventured there.
The vicious beasts that lived there never left, either. The Three Realms and the wastelands had always lived in relative harmony.
However, just half a month ago, quite a few uninvited guests arrived in the depths of the wastelands.
In front of a vast mountain range in the depths of the Wilderness, there was a ray of golden light above the mountain range. This ray of light had suddenly appeared a hundred years ago. After it appeared, the golden light automatically formed a barrier that enveloped the entire mountain range. The ferocious beasts within the mountain range were also repelled by the light barrier.
Several groups of people stood in front of the mountain range.
They were divided into three camps, each of which consisted of gods, yao, and demons. At the very front of each camp was an existence with a terrifying aura. They radiated their auras, using the strength of their auras to control the territory they controlled. At the same time, they restrained the other two groups.
Within each camp, there were a few smaller camps. They were on guard and wary of each other, but all of their gazes were fixed on the golden light that shot into the sky.
The vicious beasts that had been repelled by the golden light had settled near the mountain range.
However, because of these people, the vicious beasts had no choice but to give up their homes. These people's auras were simply too terrifying.
Vicious beasts weren't intelligent, but that didn't mean they couldn't sense danger.
On the other hand, they were even more sensitive to threats.
"Your Excellency."
On the demons' side, a female demon expert appeared in front of Jackdaw, who was still sitting cross-legged in midair.
Jackdaw, who seemed to be asleep, opened its eyes. The instant it did, two powerful auras swept towards it. Narrowing his eyes, he sent out a surge of demonic energy to scatter the two auras.
After repelling the two auras, he licked his lips arrogantly and looked at the two experts from the God Race and the Demon Race with a provocative gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Jackdaw asked the female demon as he taunted her.
She leaned over and whispered in his ear. Jackdaw's brows furrowed slightly, but he instantly composed himself. He dismissed the female demon, then closed his eyes once more.
"All three thousand demon kings are dead."
Jackdaw muttered to himself. Just now, the female demon had reported to him that Ye Zichen had used heavenly lightning to instantly obliterate all three thousand demon kings.
"When that thunderbolt appeared, I sensed that it was an expert. I never would have guessed he'd actually attacked my subordinates. Once I bring the Xuan-Yuan Sword back to the clan, I'd like to see for myself just what kind of person killed three thousand of my subordinates. "
Even though he knew someone had killed all three thousand demon kings, the Xuan-Yuan Sword had broken through the mountains. This was the most critical moment. He had no way of withdrawing.
All he could do was wait until the fight for the Xuan-Yuan Sword was over, then deal with the person who'd dared touch his subordinates.
However, right at that moment …..
