Chapter 1063: Chapter 665 Tian Ye’s Subjective Will

"You seem to trust him quite a bit."

Tian Ye’s response to Xu Yuan’s confidence carried a sense of indifference. His golden eyes, playful yet incisive, swept across the two battlefields within the city as he spoke leisurely:

"What you talked about is merely one of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss’s spellcraft techniques. Even if Feng Jiuxuan breaks it, there will be a second, a third. The Demon Race is unlike humans. Their long lifespans give them ample time to master countless trump cards."

"So next, I will tell you all of his trump cards."

Xu Yuan’s calm words seemed to make the distant sound of explosions fall eerily quiet.

Tian Ye slightly parted his petite lips, as though he was about to say something, but eventually merely let out a faint chuckle:

"I’m not interested in such things, so you don’t need to bother..."

"Xu Changtian, since she’s unwilling, I can relay the message for you."

Suddenly, Tian Yuan interjected into their conversation, her voice cold and placid: "You share Emperor Bai’s intelligence with me, and I can convey it to Feng Jiuxuan on your behalf."

"....." Tian Ye.

"....." Xu Yuan.

Well, seems like we have an eavesdropper here.

Glancing back at the delicate, icy beauty of Tian Yuan’s unchanging expression, Xu Yuan’s gaze gradually shifted to one of looking at a fool.

Is everyone from Jiatiange just naturally a double-dealer?

Her palace gown flowed ethereally as Tian Yuan remained devoid of emotion. Her voice was rational to the point of indifference, calm yet implacable:

"When it comes to your life and the disposition of Zhenxi Prefecture, there are irreconcilable conflicts between us. However, regarding Emperor Bai, we do have grounds for cooperation. You are a clever man; you should understand my meaning."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of contemplation emerged behind Xu Yuan’s bloodied eyelids.

The world isn’t simply binary. Though the Zhenxi Prefecture was clearly divided into two opposing factions at the moment, it didn’t prevent a mode of cooperation where mutual interests intertwined.

Mu Xingyi, seeking self-preservation, could propose cooperation with Xu Yuan. Naturally, Tian Yuan could also join hands with Xu Yuan to eliminate Emperor Bai, a formidable alien being.

After all, whether it was the Dayan Dynasty or the Dayan Sect, both desired to see Emperor Bai—this dominant figure of the Ancient Abyss—fall here.

Nevertheless, Xu Yuan neither outright rejected nor immediately agreed to Tian Yuan’s proposal. Instead, he abruptly asked:

"The other Two Saints have already made their moves. If you just stand here like this, won’t they have issues with it?"

Tian Yuan cast a sidelong glance at Tian Ye, who stood beside Xu Yuan:

"If I took action to kill you, it would be disadvantageous to Jiatiange and the impending catastrophe. Moreover, someone has to stand guard here while the Mu Clan’s Three Saints regain their combat strength."

As if to validate Tian Yuan’s statement, in Xu Yuan’s field of vision, white formation patterns, as thick as a man’s embrace, suddenly materialized out of thin air. Tiny points of light rapidly converged within, aligning like heavenly weapons, taking aim at the grievously wounded Mu Xingyi and the other two saints.

City Defense Array Patterns.

The Qilin Wolf’s Sacred Origin blasts had caused a sector of over a hundred-zhang-long collapse on the East City Wall towering into the skies. However, the City Defense Array Patterns were modular and composite by design. Unless the central array core was destroyed, the other array modules would continue to operate as usual.

From within the government office, Li Junwu had made the most correct decision of the moment.

It was her first time controlling a city defense formation of this scale combined with the military array force. With only Integration Body proficiency in combat, attempting to forcefully assist her side’s saints in the battle could even backfire.

Three beams of light from the Heavenly Base Patterns descended simultaneously in an attack!

Mu Xingyi witnessed this moment.

Just as he numbly prepared to take the full brunt of the strike head-on once again, Tian Yuan expressionlessly waved her sleeves.

The next moment—

Three immense, pitch-black bone spikes erupted from the ground, shielding Mu Xingyi entirely beneath them!

The descending beams didn’t explode upon impact. Instead, the moment they touched the black bone spikes, it was as if they were refracted, scattering away like fragmented rays. The surrounding ground bore scorched black scars in their wake.

As this scene unfolded before Xu Yuan’s eyes, a trace of astonishment silently spread in his heart—not due to the effectiveness of the bone spikes, but because he had seen these pitch-black spikes before and had even personally experienced their effects.

This is... the Barbarian King’s Dao Domain!

There was no time for deeper thought, though.

A piercing wail from Mu Nuo suddenly rent the air, echoing through the heavens. Tian Yuan had selectively chosen only to shield Mu Xingyi. As for Mu Nuo and Lady Wan, they were directly pierced through by the beam of light.

At the same time, a sharp female voice rang out from the west:

"Jiantian Pavilion Master?! Why didn’t you protect Nuonuo?!"

Lady Wan’s voice carried no spellcraft, yet the sharp sonic waves rippled outward, infused with madness and hatred that instantly affected half the Prefecture City.

The wave of sound swept through the streets. In those districts battling the Insect Tide, the sect household soldiers momentarily fell into a stupor. In that instant alone, hundreds fell under the razor-sharp claws of the demon insects.

Lady Wan might have been weak, but she was still a saint. The Yin Ghost’s influence on lower-level cultivators’ minds was nearly impossible to resist.

Xu Yuan frowned as he looked at Lady Wan, barely supporting herself amidst her injuries, and said:

"Are you deliberately provoking her?"

Tian Yuan ignored Lady Wan’s accusations entirely.

In a battle among saints, weakness was the original sin.

She spoke nonchalantly, as though stating an undeniable truth:

"I just want you to understand the current situation."

"Even though the Three Saints of the Mu Clan are weak, they still utterly outclass the other defenses within the city."

"Though Feng Jiuxuan is powerful, Emperor Bai alone is enough to hold him off, and the Qilin Wolf was never adept at combat. Its defeat at Qin Ke’s hands is only a matter of time."

"The Zhenxi Army Formation and the Protective City Formation might be able to injure Mu Xingyi and the others, but as for me and Emperor Bai, evading their effects isn’t difficult at all."

"Not to mention, as Mu Xingyi pointed out, there is still another saint outside the city who has yet to join the fray."
