298: Chapter 297: Fangs Revealed 298: Chapter 297: Fangs Revealed “Heh!”
Ye Xuan sketched a cold smile on the corner of his mouth and didn’t answer Zhao Gongming’s question, but a mocking light flashed through his eyes when he opened and closed them.
Looking at Ye Xuan’s sinister smile, Zhao Gongming felt a chill in his heart and then remained silent.
Clearly, this Emperor Dongji was not a kind-hearted person; he certainly had means to restrain Ao Qing.
Trust did not exist in Ye Xuan’s principles; the word had never been part of his vocabulary.
Time flowed like water, fleeting in an instant.
Three full years had passed.
Ao Qing not only had not visited Ye Xuan, but even the Dragon King of the South Sea had vanished without a trace.
It was obvious, as Zhao Gongming had speculated, although Ao Qing was grateful to Ye Xuan for saving his father, betraying Bai Hong was clearly impossible.
Ao Qing’s attitude said it all, but Ye Xuan showed no sign of anger.
He continued as usual, teaching and preaching to the groups of demons and associating with the Demon Kings of Huaguo Mountain.
Among the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings, aside from the top ten Demon Kings who did not mingle with Ye Xuan, the rest frequently visited him, even calling each other brothers and living as one family.
No one knew why Ye Xuan did this, but he constantly sent large quantities of Immortal Elixirs and Spiritual Treasures to the various Demon Kings’ caves.
The sea changes into mulberry fields, and the epochs shift.
Eighty years stealthily passed by.
By the time Ye Xuan had been stationed at Luoyun Mountain for a hundred years, his Cultivation was still at the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, showing no progress over this brief century.
That day, the Nine Heavens Battle Drum sounded, golden clouds rose to cover the sky, and thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, hearing the familiar drum, were all stunned yet quickly assembled outside the East Pole Palace.
Ye Xuan, dressed in a blue Emperor’s Robe, leisurely walked out from the East Pole Palace.
“Where is Han Guang?”
Han Guang looked puzzled but still bowed respectfully.
“Issue my Dharma Decree, arrange the Celestial Stars Formation around Huaguo Mountain.
Should any demon resist, they are to be killed without exception.”
As Ye Xuan issued the command, not only was Han Guang’s face shocked but so were the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, who stood in stunned silence; over the past hundred years, they had almost forgotten their true mission amidst daily interactions with demons.
Yet at Ye Xuan’s command, Han Guang dared not disobey, directly leading the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on clouds to Huaguo Mountain, promptly setting up the Celestial Stars Formation above, sealing the whole realm.
In the boundless Heavenly Vault, golden light obscured the sky, and the mighty battle drums resonated, leaving the demons of Huaguo Mountain utterly bewildered, unsure of what these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals aimed to do.
Atop Luoyun Mountain.
Ye Xuan stepped forward, a dark cloud rising beneath his feet, shooting rapidly towards Huaguo Mountain.
In Huaguo Mountain, inside Shuilian Cave.
Bai Hong bore a cold smile, his Dharma Eyes seeing through illusions.
He naturally saw the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals standing in the Heavenly Vault, and they had set up the well-known Celestial Stars Formation, and he knew Ye Xuan could no longer hold back.
Today, he was finally ready to show his hand.
Suddenly, all seventy-two Cave Demon Kings appeared next to Bai Hong, each wearing a ferocious grin; clearly, the actions of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had immediately brought them rushing to Shuilian Cave.
“This Emperor Dongji finally makes his move.
Let us see for ourselves what methods Ye Xuan, after a hundred years of restraint, truly possesses.”
Bai Hong chuckled continuously and strolled towards the outside of the Shuilian Cave, followed closely by the seventy-two Demon Kings, evidently all eagerly anticipating this great battle.
Outside Shuilian Cave.
Ye Xuan stood in the void, a smile forming on his face as he saw Bai Hong and others walking out.
“Bai Hong, Daoist, a hundred years have swiftly passed, have you considered whether you are willing to submit to me?” Ye Xuan asked with a smile.
Bai Hong sneered disdainfully, his body radiating Luotian Golden Light, an iron rod of unknown material appearing in his hand.
As Bai Hong swung the iron rod, the whole area seemed to explode, showing the terrifying power of a Luotian Golden Immortal.
“Ye Xuan, I must admit, your ability to endure in obscurity is admirable, but you are truly foolish to think that a century could win over hearts and dissolve my Huaguo Mountain lineage, or even cause my brothers to betray me,” Bai Hong sneered repeatedly.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, a trace of strangeness flashing in his eyes, “How do you know they won’t betray you?”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned sinister, his voice echoing eerily in the Heaven and Earth, yet something extremely bizarre happened.
The seventy-two Cave Demon Kings did not move, each wearing a look of disdain.
“Ye Xuan, do you really think that by offering me some petty benefits, you could make me betray Brother Bai Hong?” White Camel King scoffed.
“You are truly naive.
Brother Bai Hong has given me a new life; how could a few Spiritual Treasure Immortal Pills entice me to betray Huaguo Mountain?” Crocodile Demon King sneered.
“Ye Xuan, today is your day to die,” White Elephant King sneered, looking at Ye Xuan as if he were looking at a dead man.
Numerous Demon Kings, all once close to Ye Xuan and given vast amounts of spiritual treasures and elixirs, were now scoffing at him, their faces displaying pride.
“Ye Xuan, my Huaguo Mountain brothers are united as one; why would they betray me?
Today is your day to die,” Bai Hong sneered continuously, looking at Ye Xuan as if he were an idiot.
Witch Light pierced the sky, the void twisted, and a bow and arrow appeared in Ye Xuan’s hands.
Without any nonsense, he immediately pulled the bowstring taut, the terrifying Sun Shooting Divine Arrow radiating a deadly aura.
“Ye Xuan, I am not Yang Jian, who you can sneak attack successfully.
Even though you have a bow and arrow, you are just a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Today, I will kill you here; remember not to oppose Huaguo Mountain in your next life.”
Bai Hong roared furiously, embodying the prowess of a Luotian Golden Immortal, wielding the Earthly Fiend Seventy Two Transformations and numerous Great Divine Powers.
Despite Ye Xuan having a bow and arrow, Bai Hong was not frightened in the slightest.
The iron rod swung through the heavens, the thirty thousand li of Heaven and Earth completely shattered, the terrifying Luotian Golden Light engulfing the skies, making Bai Hong appear immensely imposing as he violently swung his iron rod toward Ye Xuan, clearly intending to kill him there and then.
Something extremely bizarre occurred.
The iron rod that should have hit Ye Xuan did not arrive; instead, a blue glowing Poison Sword pierced through Bai Hong’s heart, a golden claw punctured Bai Hong’s pipa bone, and a massive burst of demon light viciously struck his body, causing him to spit golden blood, his iron rod falling powerlessly to the ground.
Such a shock left numerous Demon Kings dumbfounded, with Dragon King Ao Qing turning deathly pale, for he witnessed a scene he could never have imagined.
