Legend of Swordsman

At this moment, Xue He Patriarch found himself caught in a dilemma, knowing full well that he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

Moreover, the situation at the Ancient Demon Palace could no longer be kept hidden.

He had no choice but to reveal everything.

Only then did the crowd, including Immortal Ziyu, understand why they had been discovered. It turned out that Xue He Patriarch had also obtained a token from the Ancient Demon Palace.

True Lord Xue Yang could hardly believe it, exclaiming in shock, ”This is impossible! The Ancient Demon Token was something the Ancient Demon carried with his jade pendant. How could there be two of them?”

His words caused both guardians and Xue He Patriarch to glance his way.

”So that’s who it is! You’re the younger brother of Yang Dingtian!” Yunhai Guardian smiled faintly and continued, ”Kid, I bet you didn’t tell Yang Dingtian about the Ancient Demon Token. If he knew, he would have told you that there are many such tokens. Each craftsman involved in building the Ancient Demon Palace had one!”

”What?” Xue Yang gasped in surprise. Losing his balance, he fell heavily to the ground.

This time, he had been too full of himself.

Trying to prove himself behind his elder brother’s back had only resulted in disaster.

Xue He sneered coldly, ”What an idiot. How could Yang Dingtian have such a foolish younger brother?”

”I heard they have the same parents, but the difference between them is huge!” Qifeng Guardian smirked wickedly.

Whether or not they could enter the Ancient Demon Palace didn’t matter anymore. Even if they failed to enter, capturing Yang Dingtian’s younger brother would still be a great achievement.

After all, the Double-Faced God Mansion had always been mortal enemies with Yang Dingtian.

Now that they had captured his younger brother, it would undoubtedly give Yang Dingtian a serious headache.

True Lord Xue Yang sat on the ground, looking utterly defeated.

Compared to his elder brother, he appeared no better than a clown.

”I cannot let them capture me!” True Lord Xue Yang roared in his heart.

However, the trump cards he carried were only effective against Ninth Step True Immortals, and they were useless against Dao Lords.

Moreover, there were two Dao Lords. Even if he could disrupt them for a moment, the next second, they’d capture him with their own hands.

Once captured alive, he would become a laughingstock throughout the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Region.

He had always been proud, refusing to burden his elder brother with trouble. Even while wandering outside, he never used his brother’s name to elevate himself.

True Lord Xue Yang was extremely proud and had a strong sense of self-respect.

At this moment, he had already made the worst decision possible.

Self-destruction!

If he died, at least he wouldn’t allow himself to be captured alive, which would save his elder brother from trouble.

”Stop teasing this brat. Let’s kill the others first!” Yunhai Guardian said calmly.

Xue He Patriarch didn’t hesitate either. He immediately stepped forward, preparing to strike.

Suddenly, Tian Can Elder, who had been frozen with fear, dashed out and shouted loudly, ”Please, sirs, spare my life! I possess great fortune that I can offer to all of you!”

Tian Can feared death more than anything, and now he was trembling uncontrollably, his face pale.

With such a fear of death, it was impossible for him to just wait for it. He would do anything to survive.

”Old fool, do you think I’m a child?” Xue He scoffed as he struck without hesitation.

A blood-red column shot out instantly, aimed directly at the quivering Tian Can.

Yunhai Protector seemed to sense something familiar from Tian Can. His brow furrowed. ”Hm?”

In the next moment, a sudden explosion echoed.

Tian Can dropped to his knees, covering his face with both hands, screaming, ”No!!! I have a secret! I know where a powerful outsider is hiding!!”

Boom!

A moment later, Tian Can, panting heavily, opened his eyes and realized he wasn’t dead. In front of him stood a figure with his back turned.

It was Yunhai Protector!

He was gripping the blood column with one hand, crushing it effortlessly. The terrifying power from the act pushed Xue He backward.

The overwhelming divine power caused Xue He’s chest to resonate painfully, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. But he forced it down, glaring angrily at Tian Can. His voice was filled with dissatisfaction as he asked, ”Yunhai Protector, what are you doing? Do you seriously believe the words of a cowardly True Immortal?”

”Yunhai, you’re going too far! Xue He was just being kind, cleaning up the trash. Why are you defending it? Is Tian Can your illegitimate child or something?” Qifeng Protector sneered. Yunhai Protector, having crushed the blood column, ignored the complaints of both men. Slowly, he turned to Tian Can and, without warning, crushed Tian Can’s arm with a single

grasp.

A ring that had been on Tian Can’s finger floated in mid-air. Yunhai Protector grabbed it and, with a slight use of his thought power, inspected it. A smile crept across his lips.

”This ring is your ticket to survival.” Yunhai Protector casually tossed the ring back to Tian Can.

Tian Can, who had been on the brink of death, let out a long breath of relief and hurriedly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Both Qifeng Protector and Xue He were extremely curious now. What had Yunhai Protector

discovered?

They weren’t the only ones.

Even Lady Ziyu and True Immortal Wuhou were taken aback. The two of them had thought today would be their end, but unexpectedly, Tian Can had found a way to survive. Initially, there was some comfort in all of them facing death together, but now that Tian Can had a way out, the expressions of the two became even more unsightly.

Comparisons always create disparities.

Seeing Tian Can survive also ignited the survival instinct in both of them, making them eager

to beg for mercy.

However, the three powerhouses of the Twin-Faced Divine Mansion ignored them entirely.

Though Wuhou True Immortal was a rigid man, faced with death, he couldn’t help but lower his head. He transmitted a message to Tian Can secretly, ”Brother Tian Can, could you speak a word for me? If I survive, I will give you all my treasures.”

Tian Can, who had just recovered, grinned and completely ignored Wuhou’s message. Instead, he glanced at Lady Ziyu. Surprised that she hadn’t sent him a message, he raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Meanwhile, True Monarch Xueyang, who had initially been surprised by Tian Can’s luck,

began to waver. His survival instinct flared up too. But then he thought about how his begging would be seen by others. Even if he survived, he would be shamed for life. His heart hardened. Jian Wushuang, however, remained the most unnoticed figure in the entire scene. He hadn’t spoken a word, nor had he shown any signs of fear. He simply stood alone in a corner, his gaze somewhat dim.

The others assumed he had been scared senseless.

Swoosh!

Xue He and Qifeng Protector landed on the ground, walking up to Yunhai Protector. Curious, they asked, ”Yunhai Protector, what did you discover? If you don’t share it with us and try to

keep it all to yourself, I’ll kill that old man!”

Qifeng Protector, shameless as ever, clearly coveted whatever had caught Yunhai Protector’s attention. If it could move Yunhai Protector, it certainly had to be something incredible! Moreover, he had heard Tian Can mention a powerful outsider. The implications of this were

even greater.

After all, only True Immortals could traverse the chaotic flows of the Starry Sky. Those capable of crossing worlds were elite among the True Immortals-most were Dao Lords or

even Emperors.
