Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 547 - 246: Promises and Predicaments, Enemies on All Sides (Part 2)

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!

On the entire heaven-reaching road, Luo Qingxian and other senior disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were all breaking through the air, their speed infinitely soaring.

Luo Qingxian led Ye Xiaofan, flying at the forefront of the group, frantically breaking through into the outside world.

However, after a quarter of an hour.

Everyone stopped instantly, especially Luo Qingxian, who, supporting Ye Xiaofan, suddenly narrowed her eyes, full of vigilance, staring intently at the void ahead.

The faces of the senior disciples of the Divine Sword Sect turned pale, eyes full of despair.

They saw that on the inevitable path out of the ’Valley of Space-Time’, several terrifying figures were standing quietly there, namely Yunmo Xi and others.

"Yunmo Xi?"

Luo Qingchen looked at the stunning figures blocking their path, his eyebrows furrowing deeply, his expression full of apprehension and powerlessness.

Although they had cultivated within the ’Space-Time Barrier’ for three years, facing these veteran, monstrous figures, they were obviously not a match, let alone against someone as sensational as Yunmo Xi. There wasn’t the slightest chance of victory.

Ye Xiaofan, upon seeing this, slightly lifted his gaze. Severely injured, he was extremely weak at this moment. Initially, Ye Xiaofan had planned to forcibly use the green leaf from the World Tree Martial Soul to counter Yunmo Xi. Even though he wasn’t a match for Yunmo Xi now, with the power of that leaf and the restrictions on him, escaping shouldn’t be difficult.

At the very least, he could use the Arrays inscribed within him by Yin Tianzheng and the elders of Array Peak, combined with the green leaf, to stall the opponent and reach the temporary base of the Divine Sword Sect.

However, severely wounded as he was, the chaotic power within him couldn’t reactivate the green leaf of the World Tree.

While Ye Xiaofan and others stared at the opponent, Yunmo Xi also quietly watched them, his gaze resting solely on Ye Xiaofan.

"Yunmo Xi, do you want to kill me so badly?" Ye Xiaofan stared fiercely at the opponent, appearing exceptionally calm. In reality, he was secretly and forcefully summoning the vast power within him, attempting to connect with the green leaf on the World Tree Martial Soul.

Upon hearing this, Yunmo Xi smiled sweetly, giving Luo Qingxian a faint glance before slowly turning his attention to Ye Xiaofan: "I do want to kill you, but I’ve changed my mind now. Whether I kill you or not will be decided later. But as long as you remain in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ your life is temporarily mine. I can take it whenever I want."

"But today..." Yunmo Xi, with a shift in tone, half-smiling, said: "I won’t kill you today. So many people want to kill you anyway. Perhaps someday, we might even fight side by side."

As Yunmo Xi spoke, his smile became even more dazzling.

Upon hearing this, the brows of Luo Qingxian and others furrowed slightly.

What does it mean that someday we might fight side by side?

Evidently, everyone was smart enough to immediately grasp some of Yunmo Xi’s intentions, glimpsing his thoughts.

Luo Qingxian immediately furrowed her brows and said, "Yunmo Xi, what do you mean?"

"Can’t my sister figure it out?" Yunmo Xi retorted with a faint smile, looking at Luo Qingxian without any concealment: "It’s simple, I believe one day, Ye Xiaofan will stand with us. Your Divine Sword Sect can’t protect him."

Whoosh—!!!

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the senior disciples of the Divine Sword Sect slightly changed, instantly understanding what the opponent wanted to do: entice a sensational figure from the Hundred Sects to defect, a common tactic of the Demonic Sect.

Even some of them had encountered similar situations before, but righteousness and evil couldn’t coexist so easily, could they?

Immediately, some senior disciples of the Divine Sword Sect locked their brows, staring fiercely at Yunmo Xi.

"You want Junior Brother Ye to fall into the path of demons?"

"Hmph, it’s wishful thinking. Junior Brother Ye is a disciple of our Divine Sword Sect. How could he mix with the likes of you?"

Many of the monstrous talents of the Divine Sword Sect sneered coldly, their eyes seemingly about to burst into flames.

However, facing the blunt remarks from the Divine Sword Sect, Yunmo Xi remained indifferent, instead raising his eyebrows with a faint tone: "I’ve said before, your Divine Sword Sect can’t protect him, nor will protect him. The nature of the Hundred Sects, you know better than Mo Xi. He will only bring ruin to the Divine Sword Sect. Do you honestly believe the Divine Sword Sect is that noble?"

With this remark, all the senior disciples of the Divine Sword Sect fell silent.

Throughout endless ages, incidents of this sort have indeed occurred within the ten divine sects, and the outcomes have often been unsatisfactory.

Clearly, Yunmo Xi was here to snatch, intent on pulling Ye Xiaofan into the demonic camp.

What’s more frightening is the utter lack of concealment from the opponent, openly displaying their intentions. For Ye Xiaofan, this is an extremely unfavorable situation.

Henceforth, any close contact between Ye Xiaofan and the Demonic Sects will bring condemnation. Even those with intentions to harm him will exaggerate accusations against him, as if guilt could be attributed with no need for evidence.

This is precisely Yunmo Xi’s fearsome aspect. Despite merely making a small statement now, the impact on public opinion is terrifying. As the saying goes, the power of words is great. Even if Ye Xiaofan has nothing to do with the Demonic Sect, he might still be painted with an unusual tint.

In essence, Yunmo Xi is coerced, forcing that figure to ultimately become the target of the Hundred Sects, and finally have no choice but to rely on the Demonic Sect.
