Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

However, the white-robed priest opposite them continued forward without the slightest pause, his expression unchanging.

Before this, he had already privately conferred with the other two major powers: the Black Tiger Tribe and the Yu family.

Since they had all already made an enemy of Ye Chen, they naturally had no intention of letting his two companions go.

Ye Chen had to die, and so did they! 'If we're going to kill one, we might as well kill them all!'

'As for the Huo family... if our three factions join forces, what does it matter if Huo Qiguang is here?'

'Does the Patriarch of the Huo family really intend to risk his entire family just to make an enemy of our three factions?'

'All to protect a stranger like Ye Chen?'

'Anyone with half a brain wouldn't make such an utterly foolish choice, right?'

As they watched the white-robed priest walk toward them, the experts of the Huo family instantly grew vigilant.

Huo Susu and Song Yubing also turned to look, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

The Realm Spirit, on the other hand, was relatively calm. After all, she had lived for ages and was worldly and experienced. 'What kind of situation haven't I been through?'

The situation was certainly grim, but it wasn't enough to make her panic.

Although she couldn't sense Ye Chen's exact condition, she was certain that he hadn't encountered any danger inside the secret realm.

That was enough. 'Once Ye Chen escapes the secret realm, we'll naturally have a chance to break through the encirclement and leave this place.'

"Huo Qiguang, I'd say you've done just about enough, don't you think?"

"You've been playing the good guy for over ten days. Whatever debt of gratitude you needed to repay should be settled by now."

The white-robed priest said coldly as he came to a stop before Huo Qiguang.

His face was pale—so pale he barely looked like a living person.

Rumor had it that the white-robed priest of the Cyan Ape Tribe had researched a certain forbidden art, causing his body to undergo some unknown changes.

His unnaturally white skin was one of those changes!

Seeing that the expert from the Cyan Ape Tribe could finally no longer restrain himself and was about to make a move on the Huo family, the other factions on the scene all turned to watch with great interest.

They were hoping the Cyan Ape Tribe's faction and the Huo family would start fighting, which would mean fewer competitors for them.

"What is it you're trying to say?" Huo Qiguang asked indifferently.

"I'm saying that enough time has passed. You should hand them over."

The white-robed priest took a deep breath. He couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"Hand them over?"

"Don't be ridiculous."

Huo Qiguang scoffed. "I've told you before, they are my daughter's saviors."

"I am no ingrate who repays kindness with treachery! I will absolutely not hand them over."

"The boy inside the secret realm is the one who saved your daughter."

"These two girls have nothing to do with your daughter."

The white-robed priest frowned.

"You don't need to argue with me. I am not handing them over."

"If you want to fight, then feel free to make your move. I'll be ready for you!"

No one had expected Huo Qiguang's attitude to be so unyielding. His expression was grim, and he was completely unafraid!

Truly worthy of his reputation as a formidable figure of the Black Triangle Zone!

"You!"

The white-robed priest's expression darkened.

"Alright, why waste your breath on him? The man is just that stubborn!"

Not far away, Xin Yuekong, the Third Elder of the Black Tiger Tribe, sighed with a hint of resignation. He slowly rose, his gaze fixed on Huo Qiguang, a cold glint stirring in the depths of his eyes.

"Huo Qiguang, this demand to hand those people over doesn't just come from the Cyan Ape Tribe—it's the shared opinion of all three of our factions!"

"Are you certain you want to oppose our three factions and place the Huo family in peril, all for a few people you barely know?"

This time, Xin Yuekong directly invoked the entire Huo family, his words positioning them in direct opposition to the three major factions.

This was undoubtedly a move to pressure Huo Qiguang, an attempt to make him hesitate for fear of collateral damage and change his mind for the sake of the Huo family.

However, under the tense gazes of his family members, Huo Qiguang's aura suddenly erupted. The terrifying might of the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm pressed down in all directions like a mountain!

"If you're not afraid to die, you're welcome to try me."

"We'll see whether you put my Huo family in peril first, or if I knock you all to the ground first!"

A cold light gleamed in Huo Qiguang's eyes; he was utterly unintimidated by Xin Yuekong's words!

"Patriarch!" The Huo family experts exchanged glances, all feeling that Huo Qiguang's actions were far too impulsive.

"This has nothing to do with you."

"If anything happens, I, Huo Qiguang, will bear the consequences alone!"

Huo Qiguang stated calmly.

His fearless spirit, which defied everything, was deeply moving!

"Good! What a fine 'bear the consequences alone'!"

"Since you refuse to listen to reason and insist on being stubborn to the end, then don't blame us for getting serious!"

The experts from the three factions—the Cyan Ape Tribe, the Black Tiger Tribe, and the Yu family—were all undoubtedly infuriated by Huo Qiguang's words and actions.

The man clearly had no respect for them!

If their three factions joined forces only to be scared off by Huo Qiguang alone, their reputations would be in tatters if word got out!

At this point, there was no room for retreat!

Since Huo Qiguang was determined to be unyielding, then they would gladly oblige him!

"Huo Qiguang, you said it yourself!"

"Since you want to bear the consequences alone, then don't let anyone else from the Huo family get involved. Face us by yourself!"

"Once we defeat you, don't even think about stopping us from taking these two girls away!"

The white-robed priest from the Cyan Ape Tribe spoke coldly as powerful waves of Spiritual Power emanated from his body. His cultivation had actually reached the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Among the three factions, the Yu family's Protector was clearly stronger.

He was the head of the Yu family's four Protectors, the Grand Protector, Yu Qinghai!

His cultivation had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, only a single step behind Huo Qiguang himself!

Xin Yuekong also took a step forward at this moment, the aura of the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm surging from him as he joined the other two experts in pressuring Huo Qiguang.

Behind these three top-tier experts, the others also stared coldly at Huo Qiguang.

"You want to lay a hand on our Patriarch? You'll have to get through us first!"

The Huo family's experts all cried out. With a great battle imminent, they naturally couldn't sit still.

"Stand down!" However, Huo Qiguang stopped them.

"Those men are right. This is my personal affair."

"All of you, stay out of it. Let me face them alone."

Huo Qiguang was exceptionally powerful, but at this moment, he was worried about implicating the Huo family and had no intention of letting its other experts interfere.

For him to fight three major factions all by himself was undoubtedly sheer fantasy!

"Patriarch!" the others cried out, unwilling to accept it.

But faced with Huo Qiguang's determined gaze, they ultimately had no choice but to give up.
