Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling heard it, but he still didn’t care.

What was there for him to care about?

’She really did figure it out.’

A look of sorrow appeared in Yue Lintian’s eyes.

Everyone had been played like a fiddle by a woman.

And right now, the ones with the ugliest expressions were, of course, Long Fengyang and the others.

Only now did they realize that everything they had done was merely paving the way for someone else!

Regret?

It was too late for that.

What was done was done.

There was no turning back.

However, when Long Fengyang, Long Xuanji, Long Wentian, and Long Qingwan looked toward Saint Ancestor Long Wudao, they discovered that his expression was perfectly calm!

Clearly, Long Wudao had long been in collusion with Yao Yusu!

A chill went through their hearts. ’Is this a traitor to the Dragon Race? Where does he intend to place our clan?’

"For the sake of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain’s turmoil, it’s all worth it! Without experiencing the pain of the Celestial Demon Blood Domain, you will never understand what a terrible calamity awaits when that day comes!"

Long Wudao said in a deep voice.

This was still his explanation.

But was that really the case?

Now, everyone was completely baffled.

Because all of this was simply too cruel, too vicious, and too terrifying!

Yao Yusu, the Jade Pool Saint Master, was not just a Saint Master. She was an Unparalleled Sword Saint who could hide her true self for decades just to achieve her goals!

A Sword Saint, who possessed supreme power and the strength to look down upon the entire continent, had been so forbearing. Was there anyone in this world more vicious and terrifying than her?

At this moment, it was an understatement to say they were wary.

Even the previously cold, arrogant, and brazen Qitian Dao couldn’t help but retreat.

He dared to provoke Long Wudao.

He dared to curse the various Saint Ancestors of the Cyan Dragon Holy Land while in the territory of the Cyan Dragon Race!

But he did not dare to target the Jade Pool Saint Master, this monstrous woman, at this time.

Because if he dared to talk back, he would be killed in a single blow. There would be no other possibility!

A chill filled Qitian Dao’s heart. At the same time, he extended a hand slightly, releasing a burst of Energy to protect Wang Zhen and Xu Yaoyang, the two Unparalleled Saint Sons of the Space-Time Ancestor Path.

They were the core of the Space-Time Dao. If they were suddenly killed for speaking out of turn, the Space-Time Dao would suffer a fatal loss.

Qitian Dao did this, as did the Jiuli Saint Master, the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Master, Saintess Returning Butterfly, the Saint Master of the Wind and Fire Sacred Land, and the others.

As for the Saint Sons who had spoken up for Ye Tianling before, even though they detested Yao Yusu’s actions and felt immense regret and indignation for Ye Tianling, they no longer said a word.

For Saint Sons and Saintesses who had reached such a peak status, their ability to sense danger was unbelievably heaven-defying.

At this moment, they could barely protect themselves. What else could they do?

"We’re pulling back."

Many Saint Masters spontaneously cut off their Forbidden Array recordings, no longer broadcasting the scene of this battle.

Because if they angered Yao Yusu, they would all be finished.

And just like that, the events on the Dragon Race’s Ancient Battlefield began to become shrouded in mystery for the rest of the world.

Apart from those present, what happened next would remain unknown to all others.

"I told you to stop recording earlier, but you wouldn’t listen. Something about it being for the good of my Dragon Race? Now you know to retract your Forbidden Array projections?"

Long Wudao sneered, like a petty villain who had just gotten his way.

Hearing this, Qin Xingyu, the Saint Son of the Immortal Sacred Land, practically gnashed his teeth. He wished he could unleash the Immortal Reincarnation Scripture and beat this jumpy old reptile to death.

But he endured.

Because beside him, the Immortal Saint Master was even breaking out in a cold sweat, terrified that Qin Xingyu would be the first one to be killed to make an example of.

Similar things also happened to the likes of Xiao Hu, the Tianhong Saint Son, the Tianchen Saint Son, and some of the Saintesses.

"Go on, keep recording! What, are you all fucking mute now? Cat got your tongues? So, is this ’explanation’ I’ve given you enough?"

Long Wudao let out a sinister chuckle, his words vicious and his demeanor domineering.

It was as if the proud dignity of the Dragon Race had returned to him.

The Jiuli Saint Master, the Saint Master of Space-Time, and the others were so angry they almost coughed up blood. They trembled all over, the fury in their eyes flickering unstably.

"Heh heh, Saint Yao Yusu is at the Nine Source of the Sword Saint Realm! A Nine Source Sword Saint! Do you know what level that is?"

Long Wudao said with immense pride and arrogance, all but ready to get on his knees and lick Yao Yusu’s shoes.

This dog-like, sycophantic display was truly disgusting to the extreme.

People like Sword of No Name, Li Xuyao, and Saintess Tianqing showed open disgust on their faces.

Although Qitian Dao, Yuan Gu, Ouyang Qianyu, and the others had extremely ugly expressions, the fury in their eyes instantly turned ice-cold. The three words ’Nine Source Sword Saint’ made all their dissatisfaction vanish completely.

The group of Saint Masters bowed, their expressions grim, and retreated nearly three thousand meters from the area as a sign of respect.

Though the Saint Masters hadn’t surrendered, they had backed down.

Although the Saint Sons and Saintesses were incredibly proud and unwilling to yield, they understood very clearly.

If they continued the confrontation, there would be only one outcome—death!

No matter how insane their Talent or how overwhelming their Qi Fortune, they were nothing but ants before a Saint. And in a meeting with a Nine Source Sword Saint like this, a single glance from her was enough to shatter all of their trump cards.

Just like how Ye Tianling had obliterated Long Yunyue!

As long as one’s strength was great enough, unimaginably so, then being crushed with overwhelming force was perfectly normal.

Xiao Hu and the others clearly appreciated Ye Tianling’s temperament.

Forced to retreat now, they cast a look of blessing toward Ye Tianling.

A look of regret and sorrow.

This was all they could do now.

...

Inside the Heaven-Slaying Demon Slayer Sword, within the already somewhat distorted and turbulent Holy Dao Independent Space.

Everyone silently watched the events unfolding outside, not saying a word.

Relatively speaking, Lin Yuchan and Ye Yueling, who had originally been very heavily injured, were now in the best condition.

The Ancient Soul Extinction Forbidden technique on them had actually protected them.

And with the Heaven-Slaying Demon Slayer Sword having been cut in two, the space had nearly shattered. The one who suffered the most was the most innocent among them, Ancient Fairy.

As for Que De and Wan Jimie, they hadn’t taken much of an impact because they had already been using treasures to recover.

"Tianling... he’s on the verge of Entering Demon. How do we wake him up?"

Ye Yueling’s voice trembled.

She was also shedding tears.

Crying for what Ye Tianling was going through.

Her heart ached terribly.

"He cares deeply for Tianyu and the Tianmo Saintess. If we could somehow make them appear, we might be able to stop him from Entering Demon. In his current state, there’s still hope if he can remain calm. But if he undergoes Entering Demon, it’s all over."

Que De sighed.

"It’s impossible. Little Mink screamed just now because it saw Tianmo being knocked into the depths of the Void Turbulence, and the Heart Stone shattered too. They..."

Ancient Fairy coughed up blood, her voice extremely weak.

Yue Lintian was severely injured but not killed when the Holy Dao Space was pierced by a sword. This was largely because Ancient Fairy had used her own body to block the murderous impact within the space.

Otherwise, whether it was Que De, Wan Jimie, or even Ye Yueling and Lin Yuchan, all of them would likely have been destroyed.
