The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1508 - 1505: The Person in the Coffin!

Chapter 1508: Chapter 1505: The Person in the Coffin!

Nie Xiong said with a light chuckle, "Patriarch Zhu, are you truly unwilling to open it and have a look?"

Nie Xiong kept pressing Zhu Chang to open the coffin.

This made the surrounding guests even more curious. Just what was inside that coffin that Nie Xiong was so insistent on Zhu Chang opening it, while Zhu Chang himself appeared so reluctant to do so?

"What on earth is inside the coffin?"

"Patriarch Zhu, just open it and take a look, perhaps what’s inside isn’t bad at all?"

"Patriarch Zhu, I think there’s no harm in looking."

Many guests were saying this with smiles.

Zhu Chang’s face turned iron green as he said coldly, "I have always admired Heaven-reaching Sword Sect as the foremost Sword Cultivation Sect in the Lingnan Continent. I never would have thought that the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect could be so disgraceful, to do such a thing on the day of my birthday celebration."

"Someone, show these people out. You are not welcome here."

"If you continue to cause trouble without reason, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Zhu Chang’s face suddenly changed as he shouted loudly. Almost a thousand warriors clad in Zhu family’s robes surged around them, sealing off the courtyard of the Great Hall so that not even water could escape.

The sudden turn of events confused all the guests.

"What’s going on here?"

"How come so many people have suddenly appeared?"

"Looking at it, it seems like the Zhu family had these people prepared already."

"Yes, the Zhu family was prepared indeed."

The guests were all taken aback as the thousand-plus warriors from the Zhu family, each above the ninth level of the Yin Saint Realm in strength and fully armed, were obviously well-prepared by the Zhu family.

At this point, the Sky-splitting Army Marquis also slightly stood up and whispered a few words to the several Colonels around him. The Colonels then dispersed and left the Zhu family.

Seeing this scene, Nie Xiong knew full well that the Sky-splitting Army Marquis was ordering the Colonels to summon the Sky-splitting Legion stationed within Zhu’s Fairy City.

However, Nie Xiong did not stop the Sky-splitting Army Marquis; instead, he continued to speak to Zhu Chang, "Since Patriarch Zhu is unwilling to open the coffin, then allow me to do it in your place."

As he spoke, Nie Xiong stepped forward, ready to unveil the coffin.

All the guests were looking on eagerly.

"Stop, don’t open it!" Zhu Chang’s face changed dramatically and he hurriedly took a step out, trying to stop Nie Xiong.

But at this moment, Li Chou chopped down with a huge sword, shaking Zhu Chang so hard that blood filled his mouth and he flew out, landing on the ground in an extremely sorry state.

"Thanks, Big Silly," Nie Xiong smiled at Li Chou.

Li Chou also gave a silly laugh in return.

Big Silly was a nickname Li Chou had amongst the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain.

Nie Xiong walked up to the coffin, activated the spiritual power in his hands, directly flipping open the four coffins to reveal the four figures lying inside.

At this moment, all the guests sharpened their eyes and looked towards the coffins only to realize that they didn’t recognize any of the four people.

Even the Sky-splitting Army Marquis had a hint of curiosity on his face as he looked towards the contents of the coffins.

Seeing the coffins opened, Zhu Chang was displeased, but he still glanced inside. With one look, he saw Zhu Yi and the four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons, their faces filled with pain!

"Who are these five people?"

"How come I don’t recognize anyone?"

"They don’t seem to be from the Zhu family, do they?"

"If they’re not from the Zhu family, then why has Senior Zhu Chang insisted on not opening it?"

Many warriors were very puzzled, saying that if these people were unrelated to the Zhu family and not Zhu family warriors, why was Zhu Chang so adamant about not opening the coffin?

Nie Xiong said with a light laugh, "Senior Zhu Chang seems very familiar with these five people."

Zhu Chang said coldly, "I do not know them."

Nie Xiong smiled and said, "Since Senior Zhu Chang says he does not recognize them, then allow me to introduce them to you."

Zhu Chang said coldly, "I won’t listen! Leave Zhu family grounds immediately, you are not welcome here!"

Nie Xiong did not pay further attention to Zhu Chang and directly spoke, "Among these five coffins, one of the people is named Zhu Yi, who happens to be Senior Zhu Chang’s own younger brother. How curious, coming from the same mother, how could Senior Zhu Chang not recognize him?"

Nie Xiong gave a strange smile.

"Zhu Yi?"

"Isn’t Zhu Yi, the second master of the Zhu Family, already dead?"

"Zhu Yi is still alive?"

Many guests exclaimed in surprise.

Nie Xiong chuckled and said, "Senior Zhu Chang doesn’t recognize Zhu Yi, but it seems that many warriors around here do!"

"That’s right, fifty years ago, Zhu Yi was found by the Litian Dynasty to have colluded with the Valley of Demons, secretly selling the dynasty’s outstanding warriors to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom."

"At that time, the Litian Dynasty was enraged; they dispatched masters to assassinate Zhu Yi. On top of the Lonely Mountain within the dynasty, Zhu Yi, driven into a corner with nowhere to run, chose to self-destruct and die!"

"But who would have thought, Zhu Yi faked his death and narrowly escaped disaster!" Nie Xiong said with a light chuckle.

"What this inner disciple said is correct. Indeed, the incident from fifty years ago outraged both gods and men. Almost every member of the Human Clan warriors within the Litian Dynasty was hunting down Zhu Yi."

"Who would have expected that Zhu Yi would actually escape from disaster and only die now!"

"Hmph, this bastard really got off easy."

Many of the older generation warriors were particularly shocked to hear the name Zhu Yi, as they had experienced the events of fifty years ago.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chang’s face turned grim.

Nie Xiong continued, "The other four individuals here are the four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons. This is the Yellow Immortal Demon Saint, this is the Dragon Scorpion Demon Saint, this is the Night Wolf Demon Saint, and this is the White Crane Demon Saint!"

As Nie Xiong pointed at the other four shadows of persons.

Zhu Chang said coldly, "I don’t understand what you mean, Mister Nie Xiong?"

"Although Zhu Yi was my younger brother, I truly thought he was dead after his supposed death fifty years ago. If it weren’t for you presenting his corpse now, I would still be unaware of his survival."

"As for the other four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons, I do not recognize any of them."

"I don’t know what Mister Nie Xiong means by bringing these five individuals to my Zhu Family’s doorstep," Zhu Chang said coldly.

"Heh, Senior Zhu Chang, you really know how to clear yourself of any involvement," Nie Xiong said with a cold laugh. "Then, Senior Zhu Chang, may this recording orb perhaps offer you an explanation?"

Nie Xiong dug out a Recording Orb from his Storage Bag.

Nie Xiong summoned a burst of Spiritual Light from the Recording Orb, projecting a shadowy image into the air and gradually replaying the scene from within Dongshuang City.

There, one could see five Yangshen Realm masters facing off against a disciple dressed in a multicolored robe.

The scene was clear, making all the warriors feel as though they were on the spot, with the sounds being exactly the same.

"..."

"Huang Xian, Night Wolf, White Crane, it seems this young man has already guessed our origins. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to feign innocence any more."

"..."

"I am here on someone’s orders to take your life today!"

"..."

"It seems I really hold some prestige, to have Zhu Chang call upon four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons to assassinate me!"

"..."

"Dongfang Bai, the Junior Sword Venerate from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, you jest. You are the future ruler of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and also the leader of a million Sword Cultivators!"

"You are no ordinary person..."

"..."

"Four Demon Saints, will you continue to stand by idly?"

"If Dongfang Bai escapes today, not only my Zhu Family but even the Valley of Demons will not escape disaster!"

"..."

"Zhu Yi, I never thought that you, a high-level Yangshen Realm expert, would actually fail to kill a Ninth Level Yin Saint Realm warrior."

"..."

The scene emerging from the Recording Orb was precisely that fierce battle in Dongshuang City, as well as the conversations between Lin Bai and Zhu Yi, all of which resonated clearly in the ears of everyone present.

Hearing these words, all the warriors were dumbfounded.

From the looks of it, it seems the Zhu Family and the Valley of Demons are intricately linked. Otherwise, how could the four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons appear in Dongshuang City? And to be summoned by Zhu Chang at that?
