Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 408 – Exposed

Yin Yang Scholar’s words had silenced heaven and earth.

Daoist Corpse Spirit had only been suppressed under the Myriad Deaths Mountains, so he was still alive.

Now, Yin Yang Scholar and the others were ready to rescue him, heralding the resurgence of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect in the Tianwu Continent.

Chen Fan’s soul almost started trembling.

He had never imagined that Yin Yang Scholar and his cohorts had gathered at the Myriad Deaths Mountains for such a momentous task.

Should they succeed, it would spell a calamity for the Great Chu Empire and perhaps even the entire Hong Domain.

Although Chen Fan had never experienced the ancient era, he was well-versed in its history through ancient records. Naturally, he knew of the formidable and fearsome reputation of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect during that time.

Even though the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had been crippled, its lineage still remained. Like a cockroach, its remnants slowly but surely awoke from their slumber, ready to reclaim their place in the world.

Many Heavenly Star experts had to sacrifice themselves to heavily injure and suppress the Daoist Corpse Spirit here.

Should he be freed, the entire Hong Domain would witness an apocalypse once he recovered.

“Yin Yang Scholar, you’re not joking, are you? This is all true?”

Young Master Xue Yi and the others’ breathing became heavy. Their gazes were burning as if they were going to swallow Yin Yang Scholar alive.

Yin Yang Scholar said, “Do I look like I called you all here just to prank you?”

“So, you aren’t lying?” Sword Venerable Ling Yun said coldly.

Yin Yang Scholar replied, “Of course. Why else would I go to such lengths to gather us here? As long as we join forces and save Daoist Corpse Spirit, we can make a massive contribution to the holy cult. Once he recovers his cultivation, he can sweep across the Hong Domain. Those who contribute, like us, will be generously rewarded, perhaps even getting the opportunity to advance to the Divine Nascent realm.”

Yin Yang Scholar paused briefly and said, “Everyone, this is no trick. Rather, I present to you all a remarkable opportunity."

“Hmph, you phrase it quite diplomatically, Yin Yang Scholar!” Black Fiend Bat snorted coldly and said, “If you could handle this alone, you wouldn't be sharing the spoils with us. Clearly, you need our help."

“Haha, I can’t deny that. After all, many Heavenly Star realm experts worked together to make that seal, so it’s quite formidable. Over three thousand years have passed, so it has weakened greatly, yet I can’t remove it alone.

“That’s why I've reached out to you. Consider a chance to make contributions to the holy cult. So, what say you? I trust you won't decline my offer?" Yin Yang Scholar proposed.

“Alright, Yin Yang Scholar, you've done us a great service this time. Daoist Corpse Spirit commands my respect as well. Saving him is a duty we, the members of the cult, cannot shirk from,” Young Master Xue Yi said, laughing.

Yin Yang Scholar also laughed and said, “Haha, Young Master Xue Yi, once Daoist Corpse Spirit is free and in control of the Hong Domain, there will be no more humans, as we would have turned them into blood demons or corpse puppets. Those humans will be nothing more than pigs and dogs. You can feast on as many as you want. And Black Fiend Bat, you’ll have as many cauldrons as you want.”

“Alright, I’m sure you already have a plan in mind, Yin Yang Scholar. Tell us, what do you need us to do?” Sword Venerable Ling Yun asked.

Before Yin Yang Scholar could speak, Young Master Xue Yi said, “Everyone... We have to deal with one issue before we get down to business.”

Yin Yang Scholar and the others narrowed their gazes and said, “What is it?”

“Well...” A cold smile appeared on Young Master Xue Yi’s face.

Suddenly, he unfurled his blood wings and vanished from his spot. He reappeared near Chen Fan’s hiding spot and unleashed a palm strike.

“Brat, how long do you plan to hide?” said Xue Yi.

Rumble!

Let alone Chen Fan, even Yin Yang Scholar and the others were caught off-guard by Xue Yi’s attack. Before he could comprehend the situation, the palm strike was almost upon him.

“Break!”

Young Master Xue Yi was at the third level, and he could destroy mountains with a single palm strike. His attack surged with overwhelming force, attempting to immobilize Chen Fan and deliver a fatal blow.

Caught off guard, Chen Fan had no option but to reveal himself.

Drawing upon his cultivation, he summoned forth the Heaven Piercing Spear, which materialized in his palm. He thrust it toward the blood-colored palm seal hurtling his way.

Boom, crack!

The two’s attacks instantly collided, resulting in deafening noises.

Fierce crimson light erupted, terrifying whirlwinds swept wildly, and the surrounding mountains shook.

A chain of explosions rang out.

Bang, bang, bang...

The Heaven Piercing Spear destroyed the palm strike at once. Yet, in turn, the spear was shattered by the immense force exchanged between them, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

Boom tch!

The impact sent Chen Fan flying. His face flushed red, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He had counterattacked in haste, so his preparation had been insufficient, which led to him getting light injuries.

Xue Yi flapped his crimson wings and a blood-colored tornado whistled out, slamming into the shockwave. Drifting backward with an air of ease, he appeared unruffled.

Swish, swish!

Yin Yang Scholar and the others’ expressions changed. They never expected someone to eavesdrop on their conversation from so close by.

It dawned on them that Chen Fan might have overheard their entire discussion.

Their auras surged, intertwining to form a barrier that enveloped Chen Fan, cutting off any escape routes. Stern, icy gazes bore down on him as if they were looking at a dead person.

“To actually hide under our noses and eavesdrop on us, how incredibly bold of you!

“How dare a weakling at the first level dare spy on us?! I, Sword Venerable Ling Yun, can’t help but admire you. However, you have signed your death warrant by doing that.”

“Brat, don’t bother with telling us your name and affiliation. Since you overheard us, there’s no way we’ll let you walk out of Myriad Deaths Mountains alive. No one in this world can save you now!”

Yin Yang Scholar, Sword Venerable Ling Yun, and the others’ voices were filled with endless icy killing intent.

Chen Fan stared at Young Master Xue Yi and the others with a stern gaze, his heart sinking.

Caught off guard by Young Master Xue Yi's ambush, he found himself surrounded, with no path of escape in sight.
