"What? There are others?"
Everyone was stunned. There were actually people hiding in the sky, and some trembled—they had not noticed them at all.
At that moment, many powerful figures emerged from the void. Their formidable auras churned the clouds overhead into ceaseless rolling waves, with thunder and lightning intertwining.
A glance revealed no fewer than several dozen of them, all experts at the peak of the Celestial Realm Fourth Stage or above.
All the independent cultivators understood. These cross-realm experts had arrived. Among the independent cultivators, aside from a few freakish talents like Ju Ye, there were very few Celestial Realm Fourth Stage experts, and most had already died in the previous rounds of chaotic fighting.
As Celestial Realm Fourth Stage cultivators, they were not the strongest, but they still stood out among the independent cultivators. They were precisely the first targets these cross-realm experts had chosen to strike.
What terrified everyone even more was that, besides these dozens of Celestial Realm Fourth Stage experts, the four leaders had already stepped into the Celestial Realm Fifth Stage. Their terrifying auras swept out, blanketing the entire valley.
Everyone was alarmed and looked toward the sky. Those with quick wits had already realized that such a large gathering could not possibly be here for a leisurely outing. Their target was obvious: Ye Xiwen. Or rather, it was not Ye Xiwen himself, but the number plate in his hand, that had drawn these proud cross-realm experts and the foremost talents of the Marquis Clans and royal clans into action together.
"I didn't expect you to see through it," one of the four leaders said with a cold smile. His entire body seemed dreamlike and illusory, impossible to see clearly. Someone recognized him—he was Li Tianlang, a disciple of the Illusory Moon Sect.
