Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Demon Emperor Fights King of Resentment

Whether the man in the blue robe was Yan Emperor or not, Qin Jun could only speculate since the man did not reveal his identity, and Qin Jun did not feel it was appropriate to press him for answers.

Moreover, since the man had provided compensation, Qin Jun, though arrogant and overbearing, would not suppress someone without reason. He still had his own principles.

The journey was silent, with the man in the blue robe not presuming to sit on the Somersault Cloud but, together with his three subordinates, flying in pursuit behind.

About ten hours passed before they finally flew out of the Endless Sea. No sea beasts or demons dared to attack them along the way, because the aura they emitted was simply too strong.

"Moving forward, we should reach Juetian Plain in at most one day."

Yang Jian spoke softly. For this trip, he had made a special effort to memorize the map, using characteristic landmarks along the way for direction.

At this moment, they had already flown onto the land, but there was still a long distance to Juetian Plain.

Qin Jun nodded and then continued to close his eyes and cultivate. With Xing Tian and Patriarch Bodhi behind him, and that blue-robed man with the early stage cultivation of the Daluo Immortal Realm also unable to sneak attack him, he could completely relax.

...

Juetian City.

Only two days remained until the Hundred Heroes Conference.

That day, Donghuang Taiyi arrived. He brought with him three great demons of the Daluo Immortal Realm because he preferred to keep a low profile; thus, his entry into the city did not cause a sensation. Many beings knew the name of the Demon Emperor but not the person.

"So this is Juetian City, filled with so many strong presences."

A Snake Demon hissed softly, dressed in black. Though in human form, the snake-like eyes were extremely cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t deny it and simply smiled as he walked along the street by the city gate. All the beings coming and going did not look like benign creatures; after all, without the cultivation of the Taiyi Realm, they would not qualify to enter Juetian City.

Both sides of the street were lined with various temporary stalls selling magic treasures, elixirs, cultivation methods, and more, buzzing with activity.

Donghuang Taiyi strolled leisurely, not yet reaching the street corner when a voice drifted from a nearby inn: "Yo, is this the famous Demon Emperor?"

The speaker did not deliberately lower their voice, allowing all the beings on the street to hear, and in an instant, all eyes converged on Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi’s gaze turned slightly cold as he turned to look. By the window on the second floor of the inn was a figure—it was clearly Xia Yanye.

At the same table as Xia Yanye were the Sword Master and Hua Yijian. Neither of them was near the window, so Donghuang Taiyi on the street could not see them.

"What are you supposed to be?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked coldly, causing Xia Yanye’s face to turn unsightly in an instant.

He had spoken out because the Sword Master said he had sensed the aura of the Demon Emperor. Xia Yanye had not expected Donghuang Taiyi to be so disrespectful.

Bang!

Xia Yanye slammed the table and rose to his feet, standing on the window ledge and looking down, he scolded, "Boy, don’t you know how to respect your seniors?"

In the days of his famed reputation, no one under the heavens knew Donghuang Taiyi’s name, so Xia Yanye looked down on Donghuang Taiyi.

Even if he couldn’t see through Donghuang Taiyi’s cultivation, he subconsciously assumed Donghuang Taiyi had a secret treasure.

He simply didn’t believe that so many beings stronger than him could emerge in a mere ten thousand years.

"Scum! Shut up!"

Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly. Even the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny wasn’t worth his attention, so why would he fear Xia Yanye?

His low profile did not mean he was afraid of trouble!

Whoever dared to provoke him, even the gods of the Nine Heavens couldn’t save them!

Hearing this, Xia Yanye could no longer contain his anger. He raised his hand and conjured a giant blood-colored hand to strike at Donghuang Taiyi. The powerful winds shook the buildings on both sides of the street violently.

Donghuang Taiyi scoffed with disdain as two streaks of golden light shot from his eyes, easily dispersing the blood-colored hand. Subsequently, he made a pulling gesture in the air toward Xia Yanye, and Xia Yanye suddenly felt an irresistible force approaching, his body uncontrollably plummeting down, finally landing clumsily on the street.

Before he could stand up, Donghuang Taiyi’s right foot stepped directly onto his back, pinning him down, unable to move.

This scene immediately caused an uproar among the many creatures.

"Am I seeing things? That’s the King of Resentment, Xia Yanye!"

"The Demon Emperor Donghuang Taiyi? Is he that formidable?"

"It is said that the Demon Ancestor is no match for the Demon Emperor at all, only by making some agreement, the Demon Emperor did not kill the Demon Ancestor."

"Too strong, he captured Xia Yanye without breaking a sweat..."

"Tsk tsk, the Demon Emperor dares to cause trouble in Juetian City, does he not want to live?"

The creatures discussed animatedly, with different attitudes, some mocking, some shocked, and some admiring.

Sword Master and Hua Yijian also stood up and came to the window to look down, their brows both furrowing deeply.

Donghuang Taiyi, standing on Xia Yanye, looked up at them and revealed a mocking smile on his face.

Even the Sword Master felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze and immediately said in a deep voice, "This is Juetian City, we’d better not make trouble here!"

"Oh? Is he your dog?" Donghuang Taiyi raised an eyebrow and asked, his body clad in golden armor radiated an invincible imperial aura, and just one glance from him made people tremble in spirit.

Xia Yanye almost exploded with fury, he struggled with all his might to get up, but was completely unable to do so.

"He seems like a completely different person."

The Sword Master frowned, he had met the Demon Emperor before, and though they did not fight, the Demon Emperor did not seem as arrogant as he was now.

This place belongs to the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny!

Does he not fear offending the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny?

Boom!

Just then, Donghuang Taiyi stomped violently, Xia Yanye’s eyes burst open, and blood sprayed from his mouth, while the street below also shattered.

Hiss—

The watching creatures gasped for air.

Although there had been some friction in Juetian City these days, no true lord had really taken action because the deterrence of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny was too great.

On the eve of the reign of the Nine Emperors, Donghuang Taiyi’s actions were clearly a challenge to the authority of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

"Trash!"

Donghuang Taiyi laughed scornfully and then kicked Xia Yanye away, his powerful force causing Xia Yanye to crash through buildings upon buildings, disappearing into the billowing dust.

The expressions of the three Great Demon Kings behind him remained unchanged, as in their eyes, Donghuang Taiyi was the strongest in the world, and defeating Xia Yanye was nothing to them.

Afterward, Donghuang Taiyi casually glanced at the Sword Master before turning and continuing forward.

Just one glance, but it chilled the Sword Master to the bone.

It could not help but remind him of the terrifying scene when he faced Xing Tian.

"Impossible... Have I developed a heart demon?"

The Sword Master murmured to himself, while Hua Yijian, standing beside him, also stared intently at the departing figure of Donghuang Taiyi, his face full of solemnity.

Although Donghuang Taiyi’s killing intent had previously been focused on the Sword Master, the feeling it gave Hua Yijian was still terrifying.

"Where does this demon come from?" Hua Yijian thought to himself, complicated.

He had only been dead for a short while, yet the entire world had changed, the emergence of unfamiliar strong figures making it hard for him to accept.

Soon, the news that the King of Resentment had been easily defeated by the Demon Emperor quickly spread throughout Juetian City, causing a stir throughout the city.
