"Xie Huang! How dare you!"
Seeing Xie Huang’s True Yuan giant hand strike towards Zhu Fei, Ye Haitang’s beautiful eyes also flashed fiercely. Her fair, jade-like hand swung out, and in an instant, a True Essence Gang Force collided fiercely with Xie Huang’s giant hand!
With a "whoosh", the air currents in the sky rolled backward, and the True Yuan emitted by both parties explosively dissipated into nothingness!
Watching this scene, Xie Huang’s face almost dripped with darkness, his resentful and sinister gaze sweeping over Ye Haitang, Zhu Fei, and others one by one.
Just as he couldn’t help wanting to make another move, Yi Fei at his side stopped him.
"Xie Huang, that’s enough. There’s no need to fight to the death with these people here. Once you enter the Heavenly Road Secret Realm, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for revenge."
As he spoke, Yi Fei’s eyes playfully swept towards Yao Ling’er and continued, "Sect Leader Yao, when the Heavenly Road Secret Realm ends, I hope to see your disciples again. Farewell!"
"I, Yao Ling’er, extend the same sentiment to you. No thanks!"
Faced with Yi Fei’s provocation, Yao Ling’er showed no weakness, directly rebutting him coldly.
Yi Fei’s expression darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything more. After a heavy snort, he immediately left with a group of Seven Stars Pavilion disciples.
Watching Yi Fei leave with the Seven Stars Pavilion disciples, Yao Ling’er turned to Ye Haitang, Zhu Fei, and the others and said, "Let’s go too. Once we enter the Heavenly Road Secret Realm, you must be careful yourselves, and make sure you don’t fall prey to those people’s schemes."
With that, Yao Ling’er once again activated the top-grade Flying Treasure, flying towards a spacious plaza in Heavenly Eye Canyon.
"Senior Sister Ye, thank you for stepping in just now."
On the way, Zhu Fei gave Ye Haitang a slight fist salute, speaking with a slightly teasing tone.
After all, this woman had stood up for him.
Even if she hadn’t helped, Zhu Fei would not have been afraid of that Xie Huang, but acknowledgment was due for the favor Ye Haitang had done. Zhu Fei did have to acknowledge it, at least in part.
However, what Zhu Fei forgot is that women, especially ones like Ye Haitang, could be very vengeful at times. Some of their thoughts were not something that ordinary people could comprehend.
And now Ye Haitang was exactly like that.
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, she still disdainfully glanced at Zhu Fei, then replied coldly, "No thanks are needed. Once we enter the Heavenly Road Secret Realm, if you don’t drag the rest of us down, that’ll be thanks enough."
Startled by Ye Haitang’s response, Zhu Fei, despite his patience, blurted out a curse.
He looked provocatively at Ye Haitang and flicked her off, then tauntingly said, "We’ll see who’s dragging whom down in a while."
"What did you say? Have the guts to say that again!"
Zhu Fei’s words immediately enraged Ye Haitang once more.
She looked at the middle finger Zhu Fei had just raised, not understanding what exactly his gesture meant.
But, just from his current expression and his words just now, Ye Haitang concluded that Zhu Fei’s action was certainly not a good thing.
Just when she was about to argue further with Zhu Fei, a group of people appearing not far away suddenly attracted her attention.
Only to hear Ye Haitang biting off these words from her mouth, her speech filled with deep-rooted hatred and killing intent.
Zhu Fei’s pupils involuntarily contracted in alarm upon noticing a group of people not far away.
For he saw among them, not only individuals from Cangmang Valley and the Xiahou family, but also a person he utterly despised!
That person was none other than the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Poison Immortal, who had once attempted to seize Pan Tingting’s body and harm her!
The Poison Immortal at this moment wore a set of black garments, her entire form hunched and haggard, with skin resembling the dry, wrinkled bark of an ancient tree!
Yet, the aura she radiated exerted an immense pressure on Zhu Fei invisibly.
This was unmistakably a powerful being with Nascent Soul Perfection, comparable even to the old crone who had once guarded the Spiritual Spring in the Turquoise Pool!
It was unexpected that the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Poison Immortal, possessed such formidable cultivation.
Zhu Fei squinted his eyes, thinking such thoughts.
Fortunate it was that he now wore the Human Skin Mask given to him by Yao Ling’er, making him unrecognizable to everyone present except for a few individuals from the Yaochi Sect.
Otherwise, the consequences of his identity being exposed here were unimaginable.
"Hehe, Sect Leader Yao, it’s been a while, how have you been?"
At this moment, another party flew over from not too far away, led by a middle-aged scholar.
From his attire and cultivation, this man must be Sect Master Wan Wuya, leader of the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect, one of the Three Great Sects of the Beidou Domain.
And the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect was the only sect currently on good terms with the Yaochi Sect.
"Hehe, Sect Master Wan, indeed it has been some time since we last met. What, for this venture into the Heavenly Road Secret Realm, perhaps Sect Master Wan is intending for your son to lead the team personally?"
Yao Ling’er also greeted Wan Wuya with a smile and a fist-and-palm salute, her gaze then falling upon a young man standing beside Wan Wuya.
The young man was handsome and tall, with a noble presence that conveyed a scholarly charm.
And his cultivation had clearly reached the Nascent Soul Third Level Realm, renowned as the eldest senior brother of the whole Ten Thousand Treasure Sect.
Upon hearing Yao Ling’er’s question, he first glanced at his father, seeking approval with questioning eyes; only after seeing his father nod did he bow and salute Yao Ling’er, then spoke with a humble smile:
"The junior, Wan Qianqiu, greets Senior Yao."
After a pause, Wan Qianqiu continued, "Senior Yao is right, I am indeed leading our sect’s team for the journey into the Heavenly Road Secret Realm. When the time comes, I hope to receive some guidance from Sister Haitang of your sect."
With that, Wan Qianqiu’s gaze settled on Ye Haitang, who was standing not too far away.
It was apparent from the look in his eyes that he harbored a certain affection for Ye Haitang.
"Hehe, too kind, Brother Wan, but the one who should be asking for guidance is me."
Faced with Wan Qianqiu’s overture, Ye Haitang didn’t treat him with the same harshness she had for Zhu Fei and instead responded with a polite smile.
However, it was clear to anyone that her feelings for this celebrated young prodigy were quite tepid.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At this moment, several streaks of Escape Light suddenly flew in from the distance, soon landing on the vast plaza.
Taixuan Sect, Joyful Union Sect, and Blood God Sect from the Demon Star Domain—the last major sect—had finally all arrived!
Suddenly, the young talents from the entire Kunlun Xuan Realm converged, stirring up a tempest!
