Chapter 645: Chapter 278: The Last Glimmer, a Sword’s Chilling Light Illuminates the Nine Heavens (Part 3)
Qi Yun observed the scene, emotions much steadier than the young boy, truly fitting for a First Generation Talisman Saint. His temperament was terrifyingly composed as he immediately turned his gaze to the Demon Realm giant nearby.
Though Qi Yun didn’t understand why this Demon Realm powerhouse accompanied Ye Xiaofan here, since they escorted him all the way, they were likely not an enemy. He thus spoke bluntly: "What we need to do now is wait, wait for the right opportunity. Once that chance arises to leave, we must immediately break through the encirclement with Fan’Er."
While speaking, Qi Yun produced an Array Flag from somewhere unknown, handing it to Old Demon, explaining: "This is the Teleportation Array crafted with the collective effort of the Divine Sword Sect’s Array Peak over the years. The arrays are connected. Once you break through the encirclement, head directly east. There will be someone there to meet you. The Grand Array will send you out of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region in the shortest time possible. Friend, I’m counting on you."
Upon Qi Yun’s words, the Demon Realm giant was slightly taken aback, blankly staring at the First Generation Talisman Saint in front of him.
Clearly, Qi Yun and Dugu Nan seemed to have prepared several plans beforehand, including the worst-case scenario, arranging an escape route for Ye Xiaofan should he need to return.
After all, the ’Saint Disk’ prophesied celestial secrets that were not easily altered. Thus years ago, Yin Tianzheng and others had already secured Ye Xiaofan’s departure from this world with one Transmission Array after another.
These grand arrays were hidden within the endless vast mountains, exceedingly covert.
Yet Qi Yun’s explanation instilled a sense of unease within the Demon Realm giant’s heart. Nonetheless, he didn’t refuse and immediately took the Array Flag from Qi Yun’s hand, responding: "There’s no need to panic, friend. To be candid, numerous Demon Realm giants are already on the way to safeguard Young Master Ye. We should arrive shortly."
Boom——!!!
With those words, Qi Yun’s body stiffened instantly, gaze filled with astonishment as he looked at the Demon Realm giant. Not questioning why the Demon Realm would join forces with Ye Xiaofan, but grasping onto the lifeline like straw, he immediately asked: "How many Saints have your realm sent?"
Clearly, whatever transpired between the Demon Realm and the Sword Saint’s successor was no longer significant. What mattered was this news, akin to a beacon in the night, granting Qi Yun a glimpse of hope.
After Qi Yun finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the Demon Realm giant. The number of arriving giants to safeguard wasn’t important; rather, the enormity of their numbers mattered now. In this world where giants congregate, despite being a First Generation Talisman Saint and Sword Saint, they are merely fighting for a slim chance of survival, viewing little hope overall.
Perhaps sensing the desire and urgency within Qi Yun’s eyes, before Old Demon could speak, Yunmo Xi promptly responded: "To answer the senior’s inquiry, the Demon Realm Saints have left their nests entirely. We should be less than half a day’s journey from here."
With Yunmo Xi’s words, Qi Yun was thunderstruck, blankly staring at this captivating figure before him, eyes filled with boundless shock.
For the Sword Saint’s successor, the Demon Realm truly emptied its nest?
Following a brief moment of astonishment, Qi Yun quickly regained his composure, eyes brimming with endless excitement, muttering the word ’good’ thrice consecutively.
However, Yunmo Xi’s words also successfully garnered Qi Yun’s attention. The girl before him was extraordinarily beautiful, both in cultivation and appearance. She was comparable to Luo Qingxian and Ning Xianyi, her remarkable charisma even causing the First Generation Talisman Saint to pause in surprise.
Seeing Qi Yun’s gaze upon her, Yunmo Xi quickly bowed slightly, saying: "The newly appointed Demoness, Yunmo Xi, pays her respects to the Talisman Saint predecessor."
"Newly appointed Demoness?" Qi Yun was puzzled by her words and then filled with surprise: "You’re the daughter of the Celestial Demon?"
"Celestial Demon is my father, and he is also on the way. There’s no need for concern about the Young Master," Yunmo Xi reassured.
"Celestial Demon is coming too?" Hearing Yunmo Baitian was also on the way, Qi Yun let out a long breath of relief, yet as he turned, his face showed renewed seriousness.
Clearly, with Demon Realm Saints on the way, it’s obvious what events will unfold next without needing to think.
Even with the Demon Realm coming, Qi Yun couldn’t help worrying as he looked at the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region’s innumerable Entering the Saint Realm giants and ancient world giants accumulated over endless years.
Regarding the Demon Realm, he was all too clear. The contemporary giants might be able to compete with the Hundred Broken Mountain Range in numbers, yet the Demon Realm’s sole weakness is its long-term erosion by miasma. Any Saint nearing their lifespan’s end will unleash their final warmth to seal the Demon Tree.
Therefore, there’s a substantial disparity in combat strength since the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region has ancient deathless seniors accumulated over endless years, whereas Demon Realm has none.
Now with the Empress Inheritance appearing, these near-end-of-life ancient giant Saints will be the most terrifying existence.
Yet with the Demon Realm’s Saints coming, this undoubtedly heralds the best news, at least granting a bigger sense of hope. However, when Yunmo Baitian and others arrive in this world, it’s likely to become a battlefield of Saint War.
Compared to Qi Yun,
At this moment, countless cultivators were entirely unaware of the Demon Realm’s Saints on the way, their gazes fixated at the peak of the sky.
But seen amidst boundless blizzard void,
As the First Generation Sword Saint slowly strode out, endless giants had their breathless, hard-pounding hearts filled with fear as they observed the figure.
Until a certain moment, when the Sword Saint stepped closer to the front, drawing nearer to the eminent mortal enemies.
