Chapter 609: Chapter 603 Old Friend

"I can’t run away."

Ye Xuan felt the pressure from above, as the assault had sealed off the space around him, leaving him no chance to escape.

Unless he could break through the space, but that was a capability only Martial Saint Strong People possessed.

Just as the colossal demonic claw was about to crush down, the void behind Ye Xuan suddenly twisted. There too, Demonic Qi surged even more intensely. From that twisted void, another colossal demonic claw reached out, grabbed Ye Xuan, and then pulled him back into the maelstrom of space.

As for the attack from the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint, it completely missed and dissipated into thin air.

"Who?"

The Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint found it somewhat incredible that someone under his watch could rescue a person, as there were no more than a handful of people capable of doing so in the entire Evil Domain.

Then, atop one of the statues, two figures emerged.

One of them was, naturally, Ye Xuan. The other, however, was a surprise even to Ye Xuan.

"Lord Shen Luo?"

When the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint’s gaze moved to the person beside Ye Xuan, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and then a look of respect emerged in his eyes.

The person was dressed in black armor, had a voluptuous figure, and strikingly attractive features — it was none other than Shen Luo. Although he himself was also a Saint of the Heavenly Demon clan, in comparison to Shen Luo, he didn’t know how many generations behind he was. Moreover, other dominants among the Saints from the Holy City had said that if Shen Luo recovered her peak strength, then inside the Holy City, no one would be her match!

Therefore, even though Shen Luo hadn’t regained her full strength, she was an object of admiration for all Heavenly Demons and the bearer of their hopes.

"Heavenly Incomplete, leave this human to me. You don’t need to intervene anymore."

Shen Luo’s voice spread through the air. She looked at the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint, speaking indifferently.

"Alright."

The response of the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint astounded Ye Xuan. Moments ago, the other was determined to kill him, but with just one sentence from Shen Luo, he obediently backed down.

"This guy, he could get Lord Shen Luo to lend a hand?"

Zi Ying was also a bit dumbfounded. She had thought Ye Xuan

It seems Shen Luo occupies a very high status in this Holy City.

Thinking about how she could encounter Shen Luo in this Demon Clan’s Holy City was also quite fortunate.

"That much-talked-about injured Demon Saint, couldn’t it be you?" Ye Xuan suddenly looked at Shen Luo, speaking with a slight quirk in his eyes.

"I suppose so."

Shen Luo nodded, "After using the Heavenly Demon disintegration, my power was greatly weakened. After finding a place to recuperate for half a year, I barely regained some strength, and then with my faint perception, I found the location of the Demon Clan’s Soul Altar and came here to the Evil Domain."

"At that time, I almost died too. The spatial channel couldn’t withstand the attack from the Sound Saint and collapsed — I was lucky to have snatched back my life."

Ye Xuan slowly exhaled, knowing Shen Luo’s current standing in the Holy City, he felt that, for now, he didn’t need to worry about his own safety anymore.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk more inside the Holy Tower."

Lord Shen Luo led Ye Xuan into the eighth floor of the Holy Tower.

Over this, the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint merely showed surprise, but he had no intention of following. Instead, he went to the base of the tower, fished out the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince, and began to clean up the aftermath.

...

Inside the Holy Tower.

"I have not forgotten the grudge against the Emperor Xi Sect for a single day, and once I have enough power, I will ensure those two have no place to be buried."

A cold light flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Those Sound Saint and Ling Yu Saint had nearly driven him to death, and it was only a matter of time before they met their demise at his hands.

"The Emperor Xi Sect is after all a Seventh Grade Sect, and killing its two Great Saints will still be difficult unless you can find support from other Seventh Grade forces." Shen Luo, sitting nearby, leisurely sipped her tea as she spoke.

"Support from other Seventh Grade forces is probably not necessary."

Ye Xuan shook his head, his lips curling into a slow smirk, "Isn’t there a better source of help right here? The entire Demon Clan?"

At these words, Shen Luo also froze briefly, an incredulous look crossing her charming face as she stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief, "Are you planning to ally with the Demon Clan? That would be a massive sin of betraying your race, and you would be scorned for eternity."

"Scorned for eternity? To hell with that."

Ye Xuan was indifferent, "The tiny Spirit Martial World is nothing to me. Once I become an eternal and immortal existence, why should I care about a reputation in a mortal plane?"

"You truly are an anomaly. It’s no wonder you have Divine Power. Could it be that you’re a high-ranking figure from the upper worlds who has descended to our plane?" Shen Luo asked, her interest piqued as she gazed at Ye Xuan.

"Perhaps I am."

Ye Xuan smiled ambiguously. Such matters were trivial. He would only qualify to consider himself a high-ranking figure when his strength reached that level. Currently, he couldn’t even handle the Heavenly Incomplete Demon Saint—what kind of high-ranking figure could he claim to be?

"Hey, kid, are you really going to betray the Human Clan?"

At that moment, the voice of the Artifact Spirit of the Human Emperor’s Scepter reached him.

"Even you would be so obstinate? Then perhaps I should transfer you to someone else. My goal is not to be some guardian of the Human Clan, but to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, refine my Divine Body, and become the Supreme of the Heavenly Realm. You just continue being your Guardian Holy Artifact."

Ye Xuan’s response was noncommittal.

"Wait, I also want to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. Haven’t I guarded humanity for thousands of years, isn’t that enough? That witch just said you possess Divine Power? How is that possible, how could a mere Martial Venerate possess Divine Power?" The voice of the Artifact Spirit was filled with disbelief.

"That’s none of your business."

Ye Xuan did not wish to broadcast his secrets. Shen Luo was the only one who knew his secret and was still alive, but she had already signed a contract with him. As for the Human Emperor’s Scepter, knowing too much was unnecessary.

"By the way, how did the Human Emperor’s Scepter come to be in your hands?"

Seemingly sensing the exchange between Ye Xuan and the Human Emperor’s Scepter, Shen Luo asked.

The Human Emperor’s Scepter was in the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where the barriers, although weakened, still had a strong repulsion against the Demon Clan.

"I visited the forbidden area of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and accidentally obtained this item. The barriers there have been activated, and to leave, one only needs to start the Array in that place. There is no longer a need to go through the Soul Altar to enter and exit the Evil Domain," Ye Xuan explained.

Passing through the Soul Altar to enter and exit the Evil Domain only worked for a small portion of the powerful Demon Clan. To move a large number of the Demon Clan using the Soul Altar would be difficult.

However, Ye Xuan had considered this carefully. The current strength of the Demon Clan was not as it once was, and even if all were released, they would not possibly have the strength to take over the entire Spirit Martial Continent. On the other hand, the current strength of the Demon Clan was significantly weaker than that of humanity. Keeping the Demon Clan sealed in the Evil Domain would certainly limit their development, but from another perspective, the Demon Clan could grow and develop within the Evil Domain and even connect with the outside world using things like the Soul Altar to obtain the resources they needed from the Spirit Martial Continent.

Compared to that, the infighting within the Human Clan was becoming increasingly severe. Under these circumstances, unsealing the entire Demon Clan might not actually be such a bad thing.
