Chapter 218 - 215 Tense Situation (Literally: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent)
"Ye Xuan, how did you end up in the Blood Soul Pond?"
Murong Yun was also utterly astonished upon the sudden emergence of Ye Xuan from the pond. Previously, they had not detected any trace of Ye Xuan. Could it be that he had been ahead of them all this time?
"This matter is a long story; I’ll explain it to the Hall Master after we return."
Ye Xuan had no intention of elaborating. The matter concerning the Netherworld Corpse King was complicated and, given his current strength, how could he possibly kill a being of the Netherworld Corpse King’s caliber? Speaking of such feats would only invite ridicule and baseless suspicions.
"Ha-ha, good! I originally thought that we had fallen into an ambush set by the Black Demon Sect and feared we would suffer heavy casualties. However, it turns out that evil does not prevail over good. No matter how meticulous the Black Demon Sect’s calculations were, they still fell short of success." Murong Yun said with a laugh, clearly delighted by their turnaround victory.
Not just him, but the experts from the other great sects, like Ouyang Lie from the Wildfire Sect, were also brimming with excitement. Clearly, the victory left them all in high spirits.
"Indeed."
Ye Xuan nodded, however, if it had not been for his breach of the array at the bottom of the pond, which had forced the Netherworld Corpse King out, followed by the being’s slaying, it was still hard to say what the outcome might have been.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from the rear of the crowd. Within their line of sight, a dozen or so black-clothed individuals were tightly bound and being escorted forward. These people were obviously strong members of the Black Demon Sect who had become captives during the recent fierce battle.
Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over them, but when he saw a slender silhouette amongst them, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Within his line of sight, among the captured Black Demon Sect members, was none other than Mu Yan.
"Elder Ouyang, Hall Masters, these are the remnant scum of the Black Demon Sect captured just now."
