"Xuan Ming, how dare you come to my Nangong Estate alone. I’ll make sure you have no return."
Nangong Bo, the real head of the Nangong family and father of the invincible Nangong, sneered coldly and waved his arm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Immediately, the sound of countless crossbows being triggered echoed from all directions, and like locusts, they shot towards Elder Xuan Ming. Each bow and crossbow could penetrate a strong practitioner at the peak of the Transcendence Realm.
However, these crossbows, when hitting Elder Xuan Ming, had no effect at all, as they were blocked by a protective shield he conjured around himself.
The gap between the Heavenly Profound and Profound World Realm is significant; no matter how the guards of the Transcendence Realm used their crossbows, they could not harm Elder Xuan Ming.
"A group of Transcendence Realm strong practitioners, daring to attack me. Do you not even know how to spell ’death’? Now the situation is clear; the Door of Desolation has been unified by our Tianyi Sect. Those who conform to the times are the heroes; lay down your crossbows, and I might consider letting you become disciples of Tianyi Sect, albeit just menial ones."
Elder Xuan Ming said with a faint smile.
"You are despicable."
Nangong Yurou said angrily.
"Little girl, I heard you and Ye Mo have a betrothal. Now the marriage hasn’t happened yet, and your fiancé is already dead."
Elder Xuan Ming laughed.
"You’re lying, you’re lying. Ye Mo can’t be dead; he will definitely come back."
Nangong Yurou never believed that Ye Mo was really dead.
"Hehe, old Nangong man, let me ask you one more time: will your Nangong family submit to our Tianyi Sect? If not, you’ll likely join the demon army and become traitors. In that case, it’s better to destroy your Nangong family directly."
Xuan Ming didn’t pay attention to Nangong Yurou; he wasn’t there to argue with her.
"If you want to destroy my Nangong family, let’s see if you have the strength."
The invincible Nangong leaped up, grabbing with his five fingers, forming a huge picture in mid-air, filled with countless hellish demons, grotesque and twisted, as if suffering in hell.
"Hell Map!"
Nangong Bo pushed the Hell Map to its limit, enhanced by Tianqiong Power, enlarging it, and directly covering Xuan Ming’s head.
"Hell Map? Watch how I destroy your Hell Map."
Xuan Ming’s expression remained unchanged as he reached out a finger, and suddenly a sharp sword appeared in the painting, directly cutting it. Instantly, the painting echoed with the screams of evil spirits.
Crash!
The entire Hell Map was thus dismantled by Xuan Ming.
Nangong Bo immediately withdrew the shattered map into his body, his face turning pale with disbelief, having never imagined Xuan Ming’s immense power.
"Nangong Bo, I’ve obtained the Sword Qi from the Master, my swordsmanship is unparalleled. Ordinary mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm practitioners are nothing to me."
Xuan Ming smiled faintly.
Watching this scene, Nangong Qingxue and Nangong Yurou were terrified; even their grandfather was defeated, leaving the Nangong family without hope.
"Is it impossible for my Nangong family to remain uninvolved? Heaven is against my Nangong family."
The invincible Nangong and others also showed a trace of despair on their faces.
"You still refuse to join our Tianyi Sect? Then I’ll start with you, the invincible Nangong."
Xuan Ming flicked his fingers, and a sharp Sword Qi shot through the air, directly aimed at the invincible Nangong.
"Don’t hurt my father!"
The little girl Nangong Yurou, summoning unknown courage, stepped forward, directly blocking in front of the invincible Nangong with her arms open.
"Yurou!"
The invincible Nangong shouted loudly, never expecting Nangong Yurou to step out.
However, just as the Sword Qi was about to strike down Nangong Yurou, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended, dispersing the Sword Qi completely.
This scene stunned everyone, especially Xuan Ming.
It was naturally Zhou Jin, practicing the Thunder Attribute Technique, who made the move.
He floated in mid-air, looking at Xuan Ming with a mocking expression.
"Who are you? Why meddle in our Tianyi Sect’s affairs?"
Facing Zhou Jin, Xuan Ming’s expression turned serious, feeling the formidable presence of the man, comparable to the great elder of their Tianyi Sect.
"I am from the Five Element League, here to take over the Zone of Desolation."
Zhou Jin said coldly.
"Take over the Zone of Desolation? Hmph, such bold claims. I admit my cultivation isn’t as good as yours, but please don’t hinder our Tianyi Sect’s affairs."
Xuan Ming’s expression turned completely somber, puzzled by the sudden appearance of the Five Element League, as if the Demon Zone’s issues hadn’t already troubled Tianyi Sect enough.
"Zhou Jin, why waste words? Just obliterate him!"
Ye Mo said coldly.
With Ye Mo’s words, Zhou Jin spread his large hand, and immediately a massive bolt of lightning descended, breaking through and striking Xuan Ming, who had no time to react, causing him to explode and die.
For Zhou Jin, killing a mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm practitioner was effortless.
"Is it Ye Mo?"
Nangong Yurou and Nangong Qingxue, hearing the familiar voice, immediately raised their gaze, focusing intently on Ye Mo.
"Uncle Nangong, Yurou, Qingxue, are you all okay?"
Ye Mo descended directly, followed by a large group of strong practitioners.
"Hierarch, this old man was so weak, he couldn’t withstand even a single move."
Zhou Jin clapped his hands with a faint smile.
"Hierarch?"
The jaws of the invincible Nangong and Nangong Bo almost dropped hearing the term "Hierarch". Someone who could easily kill a mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm Xuan Ming regarded Ye Mo as Hierarch, suggesting his strength might have reached the peak of the Profound Heaven Realm.
"There are still some experts in the Tianyi Sect to entertain you."
Ye Mo remarked, looking at the stunned faces of Nangong and the others, he awkwardly scratched his head and asked, "What’s wrong with you all?"
"Ye Mo, are these all your friends?"
Having gathered his senses, the invincible Nangong asked cautiously, glancing at the powerful city lords behind Ye Mo.
"Yes."
Ye Mo nodded.
"This is not a place to talk, all esteemed experts, please come to my humble abode for a conversation."
The invincible Nangong made a gesture of invitation.
"Alright, let’s go!"
Ye Mo nodded, leading the way into the grand hall, followed closely by Yao Yue and the others.
In the grand hall, everyone sat down. However, aside from Ye Mo, the city lords he brought with him didn’t speak; they only needed to act according to Ye Mo’s instructions.
"Ye Mo, I didn’t expect you to be alive and bring so many powerful experts. Has your cultivation also advanced to the Profound Heaven Realm?"
As soon as he sat down, the invincible Nangong spoke.
"Yes, I’ve just advanced to the Heavenly Profound Realm’s early stage. Allow me to introduce them: this is Yao Yue, also from the Tianwu Kingdom; this is Little Cao, my servant girl; and these are Zhou Jin, Hua Feihua, Leng Wei, Hu Yidao Hu Erdao, among others. They are all my friends, each a late-stage Profound Heaven Realm expert."
Ye Mo introduced his companions.
Hearing this, Nangong Bo and the invincible Nangong gasped; all over a dozen people that Ye Mo brought were late-stage Profound Heaven Realm. Such a powerful lineup!
"Uncle Nangong, how is the Zone of Desolation now?"
