Chapter 1333: Chapter 555: Celestial Ghost True Body, Immortal Monarch’s Killing Intent_2 Chapter 1333: Chapter 555: Celestial Ghost True Body, Immortal Monarch’s Killing Intent_2 Facing the siege by two Immortal Monarchs, the Celestial Ghost brandished nine Immortal Artifacts, two of which were Seventh Order Immortal Artifacts, forming a barrier of darkness that blocked seventy percent of the attacks. The remaining thirty percent were also dispelled when she came into close quarters by the Celestial Ghost.

Under the suppression of Immortal Monarchs, endless Immortal Skills engulfed thousands of miles around, turning it into a deathly domain.

However, the Celestial Ghost traversed freely, stirring up rolling darkness like a shadowy God and Demon, completely fearless of the Immortal Monarch’s assault.

If nothing unexpected occurred, this Immortal Fight would last for a long time before a result could be determined.

But Eastern Emperor Unique clearly did not wish to waste time here.

Suddenly, with a terrifying scream, the Celestial Ghost soared into the sky with a pillar of darkness, carrying her true body of the Evil Clan, breaking through the mountainous blockade, braving the attack of celestial melodies, swiping across the skies, and making her escape into the Barren Fold Mountains.

This time, Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch and Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch did not continue their pursuit.

Even if they chased, they wouldn’t be able to kill their opponent, and given that the enemy fled into the Eastern Emperor’s Domain, further pursuit could lead to complications, so they stopped there.

Han Yi withdrew his gaze from the Barren Fold Mountains. Right before Eastern Emperor Unique fled into the mountains, she cast a glance at him that was filled with death and darkness, which greatly shook Han Yi’s heart.

This glance was starkly different from the serene girl who represented the true body of the Celestial Fox back on Pure Yang Mountain.

Although he had heard of the various personas and the true form of Eastern Emperor Unique, this was the first time Han Yi witnessed her terrifying side.

Withdrawing his gaze,

Han Yi prepared to leave the place, but a voice called out to him.

“Age Candle Han Yi? Why have you come from the Eastern Emperor?”

The one who called out to Han Yi was Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch, one of the two Immortal Monarchs, and his voice was cold and clearly emotional.

Han Yi raised an eyebrow.

In the past, he would have honestly responded and appropriately yielded, for his interlocutor was an Immortal Monarch while he was merely at the Golden Immortal Realm.

But having just escaped a deadly encirclement by two Immortal Monarchs, he now faced an Immortal Monarch with a different mindset–respectful yes, but no longer to the point of fear.

Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch’s voice was cold and stern, clearly because he could not do anything about Eastern Emperor Unique and was venting his frustration on Han Yi.

This kind of unwarranted disaster was something Han Yi did not wish to bear.

Still, to avoid causing a direct conflict, Han Yi bowed his hands and said, “A few days ago, I fell into a trap laid by the Evil Clan and was teleported to the Eastern Emperor’s Domain. After escaping an assassination attempt, I arrived here.”

No sooner had Han Yi finished speaking,

than Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch’s face grew colder, and he snorted lightly, saying, “An Evil Clan trap?”

“I suspect you are a spy for the Evil Clan, here to rendezvous with that Heavenly Demon.”

“Otherwise, if it truly was a trap, why didn’t you head for the Age Candle Immortal Court instead of passing through the Barren Fold Mountains?”

Han Yi was momentarily taken aback.

Though Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch was acting on a whim, his suspicions were not unfounded.

Han Yi steadied himself before continuing to explain:

“The ones who set the trap for me were the Demon Ape Great Sage of the Eastern Emperor and one of the Black Realm Star Lords.”

“I did not wish to travel directly to Age Candle because I feared they had set another ambush en route. Changing my path and detouring through the Imperial Court seemed safer.”

As Han Yi made this point,

Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch scoffed.

Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, who was beside him, frowned and appeared displeased.

They, as two Immortal Monarchs, had just fought evenly against a Heavenly Demon, unable to gain much of an advantage, and now Han Yi was claiming he had also escaped from two Immortal Monarchs.

Wasn’t that tantamount to being publicly slapped in the face?

That Heavenly Demon was none other than Eastern Emperor Unique, the most unique among Heavenly Demons in the entire Daluo Immortal Realm. It was not surprising that her Celestial Ghost form had such terrifying strength.

But Han Yi was merely a Golden Immortal. Although he was ranked third on the Suizhu Jinxian Bang, his strength was still one step away from an Immortal Monarch. Although only a step, it was as wide as a chasm.

Moreover,

the Demon Ape Great Sage was a Peak Immortal Monarch, a strong warrior of the Demon Clan Great Sage level. Even they would have difficulty escaping if they encountered him, so how could Han Yi have possibly escaped so easily after falling into the trap?

Furthermore, his aura was slightly diminished, but not even enough to be considered injured.

From this information, it can be judged,

that Han Yi’s claim of the Demon Ape Great Sage and the Black Realm Star Lord fleeing together was absolutely nonsensical.

And in the current scene, this nonsensical claim was a mockery directed at the two Immortal Monarchs.

In the surroundings,

the Golden Immortals watching on had also realized this in an instant and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

“Has Han Yi gone mad?”

“How could one lightly insult Immortal Monarchs? Is Han Yi courting death?”

“Thinking that ascending to the third place on the Golden Immortal List gives him the license to defy the heavens and disregard Immortal Monarchs, truly brazen and ignorant to the extreme.”

“Now this will be a spectacle to witness.”

“The outcome is predetermined; Han Yi suffering a bit is inevitable. However, he’s a rising star of the Age Candle Immortal Court, so the two Immortal Monarchs probably won’t really kill him.”

“That remains to be seen.”

A dozen Golden Immortals’ thoughts collided and shimmered, causing invisible ripples in the void.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, Han Yi also frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.

It seemed that without demonstrating some strength, he wasn’t going to get past this.

As the thought flickered in his mind, he glanced at the Proficiency Panel, seeing the previously ninety thousand-plus Life Seeds now reduced to just over thirty thousand.

That blow which shattered the Demon Ape Great Sage’s Seventh Order Immortal Stick, blasting the Great Sage away and piercing through the Black Realm Star Lord’s Great Dark Sky Secret Mysterious Demon Canon, had cost Han Yi over sixty thousand Life Seeds, which almost choked him with heartache.

Reluctant to frivolously waste the remaining thirty thousand Life Seeds unless absolutely necessary,

it appeared he had no choice but to try relying on his own strength first.

Indeed.

As Han Yi was contemplating this, the Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch, a thousand miles away, had already moved amidst her cold laughter.

She didn’t blow her Seventh Order Jade Flute but simply flicked her finger, striking the flute gently. The flute trembled, and a tangible sound wave burst forth, traveling through the high skies toward Han Yi.

Though it was an effortless strike from the Immortal Monarch, even a Peak Golden Immortal would struggle to withstand it.

In Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch’s expectation, this strike was bound to heavily injure Han Yi.

And as the other Golden Immortals surmised, she had no intention of killing him; after all, Han Yi’s status was not ordinary. Killing Han Yi and provoking the Original Art Immortal Monarch could spell big trouble for her–to the point that she might have to confine herself within the Immortal Court thereafter.

Bear in mind that when the Black Realm attempted to assassinate Han Yi, the Original Art Immortal Monarch took action; after thousands of years, directly slaying four Black Realm Star Lords. He even clashed with the Five Star Star Lord, who was suspected to be an Immortal Venerate, and the latter couldn’t handle the Original Art, showcasing just how terrifying his strength was.

So, this strike by Jade Affinity was merely a punishment for Han Yi’s slight towards an Immortal Monarch.

One must not lightly insult the might of an Immortal Monarch; it has been so since ancient times. Even if the Original Art knew about it, he would not intervene.

Next to Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch, Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch’s displeased gaze suddenly flashed with killing intent.

The Imperial Court had not had an easy time these past years; after splitting from Daluo, they faced the Blazing Flame Path Ceremony, the Eastern Emperor’s Domain encroachments, the descent of the Evil God, and many of their rising stars in the Immortal Court died in battle.

Han Yi, being a new star of the Age Candle Immortal Court, if they could eliminate him, it would mean removing a future rival in advance, which would be greatly beneficial for the Imperial Court.

While his murderous intention was deeply concealed, he also knew it was impossible to kill Han Yi under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

However, he could leave Han Yi with a hidden injury or some subtle Immortal Skill that might erupt once he left this place. Then, by closely following him and erasing related clues and evidence, the matter could be settled.

Although there were risks, if no concrete evidence was found, even the brash Original Art Immortal Monarch wouldn’t be able to focus on him forever. In a few thousand to ten thousand years, the incident would inevitably dissipate without a trace.

With thoughts flickering, Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch had already covertly manipulated the spirit of the mountains in the Immortal Vein Spirit Land below, preparing to set up a clandestine attack.

But in the next instant, his gaze trembled greatly, revealing an incredulous expression.

He saw that facing the Jade Affinity Immortal Monarch’s casual strike, Han Yi swept his sword across, and beneath the azure-black Sword Qi, it was as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart. The sound wave from the Jade Flute exploded at the fissure, spreading in all directions.

And Han Yi, with sword in hand, his dark robes fluttering, didn’t even take a single step back.

“What?”

Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch’s heart trembled intensely, and the hidden intent to kill even leaked a trace of its aura due to the shock.

After delivering a sword strike without retreating, Han Yi, sensing this trace of killing intent, suddenly turned his gaze toward Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch.
