Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 582 - 582 601

582: 601 582: 601 The Antarctic Immortal Elder, an entity of the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, ranked among the very pinnacle even among Daluo Golden Immortals, is absolutely a figure revered as a sovereign and an ancestor, unparalleled in both origin and depth.

With his white hair and youthful face, and his manner that of a noble Taoist, the Antarctic Immortal Elder might give off the air of a supremely kind Great Immortal, but when it comes to his enemies, he can be extremely ruthless—far from the benevolent appearance he presents; otherwise, how could he be waiting here to ambush Ye Xuan?

At this very moment!

Ye Xuan’s eyes were dark with gloom; he knew his own situation best.

At this moment, he had no strength left to fight.

The Undying Immortal Scripture was indeed miraculous, and his Daluo Immortal Body was terrifying, but after the battle with the Ancient Poison Ancestor, he was utterly exhausted and was no match for the Antarctic Immortal Elder.

As for the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden by his side, she was merely an existence of the Daluo Seventh Layer Heaven, completely unable to withstand the Antarctic Immortal Elder.

“Antarctic Immortal Elder, what do you want?”

The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden rebuked coldly, not a foolish woman herself, naturally discerning the purpose of the Antarctic Immortal Elder, which also brought a look of urgency to her eyes.

“Mysterious Maiden, this old man has no desire to harm you, but Ye Xuan has killed too many of my Chan Sect disciples.

Today, he must die,” the Antarctic Immortal Elder said coldly, leaving no room for negotiation.

“You want to kill him, have you asked me?”

Daluo Immortal Light suddenly surged; the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden spoke with a cold, tender rebuke as the Kunlun Ancient Mirror appeared before her.

Clearly, facing the Antarctic Immortal Elder at the peak of Daluo, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden dared not be the least bit negligent, ready to fight him with all her might if necessary.

“Mysterious Maiden, step back!”

Suddenly, before the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden could act, Ye Xuan stepped forward, placing himself directly in front of her, which caused her expression to change slightly because she knew Ye Xuan was gravely injured and could not possibly be a match for the Antarctic Immortal Elder.

“Ye Xuan, you…”

“Step back!”

Without waiting for the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden to speak, Ye Xuan calmly interjected, then turned to look at the Antarctic Immortal Elder, a strange smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

“You want to kill this emperor?” Ye Xuan said darkly.

“What do you think?” the Antarctic Immortal Elder sneered repeatedly, looking at Ye Xuan as if he was already a dead man.

“Aren’t you afraid that if you fail to kill me today, this emperor will exterminate your entire Chan Sect tomorrow?”

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his voice growing even calmer, yet a trace of brutal venom flashed in his eyes—he was clearly not just speaking idly, and he had long since harbored the intent to completely wipe out the Chan Sect.

“Ha ha!”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Antarctic Immortal Elder burst into loud laughter, looking at Ye Xuan as if he was looking at an idiot.

“Ye Xuan, do you think you have a chance to leave here alive?”

“Heh.”

Ye Xuan laughed, a laugh that was utterly bizarre, causing a moment of uncertainty in the Antarctic Immortal Elder, who wondered why Ye Xuan would laugh at such a time.

“Dear brother, aren’t you coming out yet?”

All of a sudden, Ye Xuan’s voice echoed in the eight directions of the cloud, as if he had already detected the presence of someone else.

Hum!

A ripple in the void spread out, a point of golden light sprouted within it, and a tall figure emerged, wearing a wry smile as he looked towards Ye Xuan.

“Peng Demon?”

Southern Immortal Elder was suddenly and alarmingly shocked, his originally ruddy complexion turned pale in an instant, and his eyes displayed a look of utmost gravity.

“Despite being seriously injured, big brother was still able to sense the presence of his junior brother; I am truly impressed,” Peng Demon said with a cupped-hand salute to Ye Xuan.

“Cut the crap, this calamity I can only rely on you, junior brother.

Consider it a favor I owe you,” Ye Xuan said coldly.

Ye Xuan knew exactly who Peng Demon was.

Although their interaction was brief, he knew this fellow wouldn’t wake up early without good cause.

Whatever the reason Peng Demon was waiting for him here, the promises he made to Ye Xuan, he surely knew how to proceed.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Peng Demon’s eyes lit up, a trace of joy crossed the bottom of his eyes, and then he feigned complaint, “Big brother jests.

We are brothers.

How could I stand by idly when big brother is in trouble?”

After speaking, Peng Demon suddenly turned to face the Southern Immortal Elder.

The smile on his face had disappeared, and a savage grin sketched at the corner of his mouth.

“Southern Immortal Elder, will you leave on your own, or shall I personally escort you to your end?”

Seeing Peng Demon interfering, the Southern Immortal Elder’s face twisted into a dark scowl, and he said coldly, “Peng Demon, think carefully.

If you help Ye Xuan today, you are going against my Chan Sect.

You may not be able to bear the consequences.”

Hearing Southern Immortal Elder’s words, Peng Demon’s expression slightly changed, clearly understanding that the Southern Immortal Elder wasn’t joking.

After all, the other party was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, backed by a Saint.

By helping Ye Xuan, Peng Demon would not only owe Ye Xuan a favor but would also greatly offend the Chan Sect.

“Kill him!”

As Peng Demon hesitated, Ye Xuan’s cool voice came from behind, solidifying Peng Demon’s eyes, and he immediately cast aside any hesitation, as his Daluo Nine Layer Heaven’s cultivation thunderously burst forth.

“Damn Peng Demon, a treacherous dog!

I will remember this matter and will seek you out for reckoning another day.”

Southern Immortal Elder roared furiously, casting a venomous look at Peng Demon, and directly rode his auspicious cloud, shooting away.

Clearly, he had no intention of clashing with Peng Demon, and had to give up the perfect opportunity to dispose of Ye Xuan.

It wasn’t that Southern Immortal Elder feared Peng Demon, nor was it because he was weak.

Both being of the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, and he, moreover, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun and a righteous Great Immortal of the Taoist orthodoxy, if he truly fought Peng Demon, it would undoubtedly allow Ye Xuan to escape, rendering the battle meaningless.

Since Peng Demon had stepped in and Ye Xuan could not be killed, there was no point for the Southern Immortal Elder to linger.

He could only ride the cloud away.

“Consider yourself lucky, old man, to have such self-awareness.”

Watching Southern Immortal Elder depart, Peng Demon let out a cold laugh and then leisurely walked towards Ye Xuan, his face once again taking on a pleasing expression.

“Big brother!”

“Ye Xuan, be careful.

This Peng Demon is extremely cunning and duplicitous, far from benign,” Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden transmitted her warning secretly, afraid that Peng Demon might ambush Ye Xuan.

Regrettably, Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden did not know that calling Peng Demon unkind was a pot calling the kettle black, as she had perhaps forgotten that her soon-to-be betrothed, Heavenly Emperor Ye, was no good bird either, being extremely ferocious himself.

“Junior brother did well.

How about you accompany this elder brother back to the Heavenly Court?” Ye Xuan asked without the slightest guard, instead, a warm smile appeared on his face and he affectionately patted Peng Demon’s shoulder, as if he truly regarded him as a dear brother.

“With big brother’s invitation, how could I possibly refuse?” Peng Demon answered with a sycophantic smile.

“Good!”

Watching Peng Demon pretending to be harmless, Ye Xuan’s face was filled with smiles.

Then the three of them set off together, directly heading back to the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

With Peng Demon escorting and protecting, Ye Xuan’s return to the Heavenly Court was extremely smooth; it also caused those with ulterior motives to go into hiding.

It was clear that the power demonstrated by Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Punishment Halberd had aroused the envy of many great divine power wielders who wanted to fish in troubled waters and take advantage while there was chaos.

However, Peng Demon’s appearance utterly squashed their plans.

In just a few days’ time, the trio of Ye Xuan had already beheld the vast and magnificent scenery of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
