Chapter 637: Chapter 275: Reunion After a Long Separation, Attitudes from All Sides (Part 3)
Therefore, for a moment, the entire Divine Sword Sect region was as silent as a winter cicada, with even a fallen needle audible, allowing several figures to pass through the crowd and enter the domain of the Divine Sword Sect.
Yunmo Xi and Ye Xiaofan gradually passed through the endless snow and wind, eventually stepping into the mountain gate of the Divine Sword Sect.
And the moment that figure entered the Divine Sword Sect, everyone’s heart jumped to their throat, crossing that line meant the Sword Saint heir had completely entered the encirclement of endless world-shocking powers. The vast sea of experts around was filled with extreme murderous intent.
Yet at this moment, Ye Xiaofan’s eyes saw none of the figures, only the familiar Divine Peak. No matter how he gazed at the peak’s summit, only three silhouettes appeared. Even across the endless distance, he could almost recognize them: Talisman Saint Qi Yun and Jian Shi Jian Yu. But that familiar figure was missing.
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding rose in Ye Xiaofan’s heart. He spared no thought but instead soared into the sky, heading toward the South Peak.
When that figure returned to the Divine Sword Sect, countless figures couldn’t help but tremble slightly, especially the elders at the summit of Array Peak who were intently watching the youth with labored breaths.
"Elder Yin, didn’t you ask Feng Chi and the others to intercept him? This child shouldn’t have come back."
An elder of Array Peak was anxious. If anyone in the Divine Sword Sect region desperately wished that person wouldn’t return, it was no doubt Yin Tianzheng and others at Array Peak. The counterpart possessed the legacy of thousands of years of Array Peak, and if he perished here, it would mean the end of the Array Peak lineage.
Yin Tianzheng also gasped, his eyes full of anxiety. Indeed, according to Dugu Nan and Qi Yun’s plan, he set many checkpoints on the return route from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ to prevent that figure from returning after hearing about the Sword Saint news, heedless of danger. But Yin Tianzheng never expected the youth would cross the void on a Holy Beast.
Facing a Holy Beast, those disciples in the Self-Slaying Realm were practically useless. Never mind blocking him; they might not even have known.
Compared to the endless cultivators of Array Peak, more familiar faces from the Divine Sword Sect watched the youth flying toward South Peak with complex expressions. Who could have imagined that the once inconspicuous figure who left here would stir such calamities across the Hundred Broken Mountain Range seven years later?
But just as Yin Tianzheng said, he shouldn’t have returned, shouldn’t have come back to the Divine Sword Sect. It was nothing but courting death.
At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, Ye Xiaofan was no different from the one on South Peak, already a dead man.
Many cultivators who bore deadly grudges against that figure couldn’t help but smirk, especially Li Chiyao and Nalan Qijue, and countless geniuses returning from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, their mouths curled upward.
"Truly reckless, daring to return? Let’s see how you’ll walk out of this world alive this time, Ye Xiaofan. Next year today shall be your memorial day."
"That person is indeed surprising. I don’t know whether to call him sentimental and righteous or foolish to the extreme. Knowing this world can’t accommodate his master and disciple, yet he still chooses to return resolutely. Truly, he wouldn’t take the path to heaven, but entering hell without a gate, hahaha."
"Ye Xiaofan, huh, nothing but a joke. Does he think he can continually escape peril like in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’? Or does he foolishly believe he can oppose the endless powers of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range?"
"Perhaps he thinks the Divine Sword Sect can protect him, but unfortunately, the Divine Sword Sect is no longer what it once was. What awaits him is endless calamity."
"Ultimately, he’s just a shortsighted ant, too insignificant before the great forces."
"I once considered him a major calamity waiting to unfold. Surprisingly, he’s nothing but a fool, unaware of his limits, daring to disregard the endless powers of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range. I wonder where he finds his courage."
"Hehe, I’d like to see how he plans to resolve this overwhelming murderous intent."
Countless cultivators who had forged a blood-sea enmity with Ye Xiaofan in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ sneered, regarding that figure as akin to an ant trying to stop a chariot, full of mocking undertones.
Yet a few newly emerged prodigies seemed to detect something unusual, staring intently at Yunmo Xi beside Ye Xiaofan, a strange feeling rising within, though they didn’t ponder more deeply. After all, who would expect a shocking transformation in the Demon Realm in such a short time?
Not only those returning from the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, countless new cultivators sneering easily, even their sects, endless old generation world-class experts came, including sect leader level powers.
For example, Qinghe Sect, Divine Maiden Sect, Yunlan Sect, Cyan Cloud Sect, Celestial Sound Sect, Beixiao Sect, and super sect Holy Realm experts appeared in this world after learning of the Sword Saint heir’s deeds. Clearly, his talent and potential posed an ultimate threat to their foundational roots.
Whether to kill the Sword Saint might not concern these forces, but the Sword Saint heir must die.
Still, at this moment, the veteran Holy Realm experts from each sect sighed deeply, even slowly closing their eyes as if they had sentenced him to death.
