Chapter 787: Chapter 781: People of the Ancient World

"It seems there’s nothing else of value left."

Ye Xuan swept his gaze around but did not discover any more treasures, and then he turned to leave the hall; he had to check other places as well.

Along the way, Ye Xuan had not been stingy with his findings, collecting all the decent treasures he encountered. These items might not be particularly useful to him, but accumulated together, they were a vast fortune. Many of the treasures, if utilized properly, could likely cultivate a powerful army.

After wandering around the treasure vault for about an hour, Ye Xuan left the vault; he had scavenged almost everything, and it was time to depart.

Subsequently, Shen Luo and the Demon Flames Ancient Saint also came out one after another. The others who entered were mostly other strong members of the Demon Clan, who were likely going to plunder thoroughly.

This treasure vault would eventually be left with little to nothing.

"The treasury of the Emperor Xi Sect is nothing special after all."

The Demon Flames Ancient Saint snorted coldly, clearly unsatisfied and apparently not having found any treasures to his liking.

"Indeed, it’s quite meager, only obtained two useless Holy Artifacts," Shen Luo nodded in agreement.

"And you, Ye Xuan?"

"I’m the same."

The map had not yet shown any use, and Ye Xuan did not intend to mention it.

"Let’s prepare the troops for retreat; staying here too long might invite trouble."

Ye Xuan reminded Shen Luo that this was not a place to linger. If other Seventh Grade Sects discovered their presence, reinforcements might soon arrive.

"Alright."

Shen Luo nodded; indeed, retreating was wise.

Hum!

Just at that moment, suddenly, the void in front of them distorted, and a figure stepped out.

The figure was an old man with white whiskers. However, his presence was unfathomable, clearly even stronger than the Demon Flames Ancient Saint.

The supreme being of the Human Clan.

Ye Xuan’s eyes grew stern; this old man’s aura was incredibly powerful, obviously one of the Human Clan’s pinnacle warriors on the Spirit Martial Continent.

"Sure enough, it’s the Demon Clan, no wonder the Demonic Qi here is soaring to the heavens."

The countenance of the white-whiskered elder grew cold, and then, scanning the ruins of the Emperor Xi Sect, his face darkened further.

"Who are you?"

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes, "Among the Human Clan, there are not many who can reach such a realm, all of them are renowned old antiques."

"I come from the Ancient World."

The white-whiskered elder did not conceal his origin and directly revealed where he was from.

"The Ancient World?"

Not only did Shen Luo and Demon Flames’ faces change dramatically, but Ye Xuan’s pupils also contracted slightly. The Ancient World, that was the most mysterious place in the entire Spirit Martial Continent.

It was said that the Ancient World was a space forged by the joint efforts of the ancient saints, using the womb of the Spirit Martial Continent’s plane as a catalyst, to construct a stable space. With thousands of years of evolution, the Ancient World had reportedly expanded to dozens of times its original size and was now inhabited by many ancient survivors. These ancient survivors, too many of them bore powerful ancient bloodlines, some even possessing the bloodlines of Martial Emperors.

The strength of the Ancient World was well known.

"The Demon Clan’s display of force, are they planning to launch a total offensive against the Spirit Martial Continent?"

The white-bearded elder’s gaze grew focused as he said.

"We’re merely reclaiming what should rightfully belong to us,"

Shen Luo replied indifferently.

"The ancient ancestors sealed you in the Evil Domain so that each could live in peace without violating the other. You Demon Clan live quietly in the Evil Domain while the Human Clan settles and thrives on the Spirit Martial Continent. Why break this status quo and insist on stirring up a war?" the white-bearded elder said, his voice somewhat low.

"Haha, what a joke. Why should my Demon Clan live in the dark and barren Evil Domain while humans can occupy such a fertile continent?"

Demon Flames sneered coldly, "The wheel of fortune turns, and now it should be our Demon Clan’s turn to take charge."

"I’m afraid you don’t have the strength to do so."

The white-bearded elder’s eyes turned icy, "Do you know that if the people of the Ancient World make a move, your Demon Clan’s remnants will not stand a chance? With the power of the Ancient World, just a handful of them would be enough to annihilate the entire Demon Clan."

"Of course, we know."

Shen Luo’s expression remained calm, then she smiled, "However, the Ancient World is not controlled by humans alone. There reside our Demon Clan’s ancient descendants as well, and the people of the Ancient World don’t care about the disputes on the Spirit Martial Continent. As long as the Human Clan there does not face extinction, there won’t be much intervention. Someone like you probably still has interests on the Spirit Martial Continent; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here from the Ancient World."

"I didn’t expect you to know so much."

The white-bearded elder looked at Shen Luo with some surprise. He felt a pressure emanating from her that was not inferior to his own. This demoness in front of him was likely not at full strength. At her peak, her cultivation could probably match his, or even surpass him.

"What you say is not wrong, but my visit is not for profit. It is because the ancestor of the Emperor Xi Sect has old ties with me. I had only just arrived here, not expecting to be a step too late."

The white-bearded elder waved his sleeve, apparently having no immediate intention of taking action.

"So, do you intend to fight us?"

Shen Luo was ready for a battle at any moment. The realm of this person in front of her might have reached the level of a Seventh Grade Martial Saint. Such a level was exceedingly rare across the entire Spirit Martial Continent.

Nevertheless, Shen Luo was not afraid of the white-bearded elder. Being of the true Heavenly Demon bloodline, she was naturally much stronger than humans. If she were to go all out, even with unhealed injuries, she could unleash the strength of her prime.

"I had that intention, but now it seems that even if we were to engage, I doubt I’d gain any advantage,"

The white-bearded elder chuckled, but his smile soon faded. He could naturally sense how troublesome Shen Luo could be, and besides, there was also Demon Flames, and even the army of the Demon Clan. If he made his move now, he would not only likely fail to triumph but might also end up at a disadvantage.

"It seems that the Demon Clan, having accumulated strength over so many years, is not to be underestimated. However, your annihilation of the Emperor Xi Sect today will surely shake the entire Central Domain and even the entire Spirit Martial Continent. Provoking a great war benefits neither race."

The white-bearded elder waved his hand, and the space behind him twisted again, and then he stepped into the distorted void, "Once the racial war breaks out, I, Xuanjizi, will not stand idly by. At that time, I won’t hold back."

As he finished speaking, the white-bearded elder also disappeared into the distorted void passage.

"To think that we’ve alarmed the powerhouses of the Ancient World."

After the white-bearded elder had left, Shen Luo couldn’t help but furrow her brow, anxious. The people from the Ancient World were not to be trifled with, and this white-bearded elder had made it clear that if war were to break out, he would intervene. He would definitely follow through on his word. The major sects of the Central Domain were already difficult to deal with, and if a few more powerful figures from the Ancient World were drawn in, the chances of victory would be even slimmer.
