Transcendent Realm, Gods and Devils in the World

Through Profound Realm!

Even someone as proud as Luo Mengxian

only felt unprecedented pressure.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stared at the old man, and said,

"Who are you? I had thought that those in the Through Profound Realm outside the world all lived in seclusion, but I never expected the Huangfu Family to find itself such a dog."

"A name is merely a designation. A Saintess about to die has no need to know who this old man is."

The Purple Robe Elder Shook His Head and continued,

"The world bustled for profit; all came and went for gain. This old man has little lifespan left, and the Huangfu Family is willing to provide me with a means of extending my life. Naturally, I must act for the Huangfu Family."

"A means of extending life?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mengxian gave a Cold Laugh.

"Isn't it just Blood Pills? Years ago, the Dongfang Pavilion Master had already banned the methods of Blood Pills, but now the Dongfang Pavilion Master has gone Out of Control, and the Huangfu Family has begun harboring crooked thoughts again. Yet even with these Blood Pills, the Huangfu Family cannot conceal its decline!"

Hearing this, the Purple Robe Elder said, "All this old man wants are Blood Pills. As for the struggles within your Qianqiu Pavilion, they have nothing to do with me."

Afterward,

the Purple Robe Elder's icy gaze fell upon Luo Mengxian once more.

Seeing this,

Phoenix Only Felt her scalp tingle.

She had already experienced

Luo Mengxian's strength and terror

before.

But now,

this Purple Robe Elder had merely struck once

and injured Luo Mengxian!

Through Profound Realm!

What kind of terrifying realm was this?

Sword Demon and the other nine Martial Saint Realm experts also looked at Luo Mengxian with Cold Laughs. In their eyes, Luo Mengxian was already dead.

A Through Profound Realm expert had acted.

Nine Martial Saint Realm experts would finish her off.

Unless an immortal descended to the mortal world,

otherwise,

no one could save Luo Mengxian.

The Empress looked at Luo Mengxian.

Her expression was also icy and indifferent.

For the Empress,

she actually wanted even more to see the conflict between the Huangfu Family and the Luo Family escalate to an irreconcilable degree.

After all,

what she wanted was to break free from Qianqiu Pavilion's restraints.

Only if the Huangfu Family and the Luo Family fought until both sides were badly battered

would she have an opportunity.

This also meant

that the Empress would certainly let the Luo Family know

that tonight's assassination of Luo Mengxian had been arranged by the Huangfu Family.

However,

all of this

had to be built upon Luo Mengxian's death.

Liu Ruyan followed behind Luo Mengxian, her face also deathly pale. Her heart had completely sunk into despair. She knew that once a Through Profound Realm expert acted, neither she nor Luo Mengxian would have any chance of survival today.

At this moment,

True Essence had already surged into the Purple Robe Elder's hand. His entire aura erupted without reserve, and endless gales rose before the bedchamber. His long hair billowed wildly, and he resembled a Demonic God. He said coldly, "I have a palm strike named Soul Annihilation. Saintess, please die!"

As his words fell,

the Purple Robe Elder transformed into an Afterimage and charged toward Luo Mengxian.

Luo Mengxian also let out a sigh. She knew she could not escape this calamity, yet her heart was filled with boundless regret. She said, "Xiaoyao, Auntie may not be able to keep her promise to you."

Luo Mengxian did not resist.

Because she had already exchanged a palm strike with the Purple Robe Elder just now, she knew that the Purple Robe Elder before her was Not Because an ordinary Through Profound Realm expert. Even among those in the Through Profound Realm, he was among the strongest!

Just as the Empress had said,

since the Huangfu Family had acted against her,

they would absolutely not leave her even the slightest chance at life.

Luo Mengxian did not wish to make any meaningless struggle.

She closed her eyes

and awaited death's arrival.

In the blink of an eye,

the Purple Robe Elder appeared before Luo Mengxian. Just as his palm was about to slam into her head, another figure descended from the sky.

At the Critical Moment,

Ren Xiaoyao finally arrived.

Seeing the Purple Robe Elder's palm strike,

he also raised his palm and struck out.

"Humph!"

The Purple Robe Elder had not expected

that someone would help Luo Mengxian at such a time.

But since Ren Xiaoyao's palm strike had come at him, he had no choice but to receive it. At the same time, arrogance filled the Purple Robe Elder's face. The palm he had thrown contained nearly all the accumulation he had gained in palm techniques throughout his life.

Gods and Devils stood in his way, he would slaughter gods and devils.

But when the Purple Robe Elder's palm collided with Ren Xiaoyao's,

his expression changed dramatically!

He Only Felt that his palm

seemed to have struck a mountain range ten thousand zhang high.

That immense force instantly dissolved every one of the Purple Robe Elder's attacks.

Then,

the Purple Robe Elder became like a kite with its string cut.

His entire body Crashed Into the Empress's bedchamber.

In merely one breath, the Purple Robe Elder's body smashed the thick walls to pieces. The great beams supporting the bedchamber collapsed with a thunderous crash, and the Empress's vast bedchamber was reduced to ruins.

Dust billowed into the air.

At this moment,

Ren Xiaoyao, wearing a Ghost Face Mask, finally landed on the ground.

He stood before Luo Mengxian

and shielded her from all the dust.

Luo Mengxian had survived the Aftermath of Disaster.

She opened her eyes in astonishment.

Looking at the person before her,

Luo Mengxian only felt as though she were dreaming.

At the Critical Moment,

someone had actually saved her life?

Who was this person?

At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao also let out a breath of relief. The distance from the Imperial Observatory to the Imperial Palace was not short. Even traveling through the air, Ren Xiaoyao still needed some time. Yet the upheaval in the Imperial Palace had occurred too quickly, nearly leaving Ren Xiaoyao without enough time.

Fortunately,

the person

had been saved by Ren Xiaoyao.

And those One Thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones

would also fall into Ren Xiaoyao's pocket.

At this moment,

the Empress, Phoenix, Sword Demon, and the other nine Martial Saint Realm experts stared fixedly at Ren Xiaoyao. Not one of them dared utter a single word; they had all been frightened out of their wits.

A Martial Artist of the Through Profound Realm

had actually been sent flying by Ren Xiaoyao's One Punch.

How was that possible!

They did not even dare believe their own eyes.

Liu Ruyan also looked at Ren Xiaoyao before her, but curiosity filled her eyes. It seemed as if she had seen this Back View somewhere before.

"It's you!"

When the Empress saw the mask on Ren Xiaoyao's face, she remembered something. Her expression stirred as she said, "You are the Mysterious Person who destroyed the Blood Gu of the True Martial Sect! What have you come to the Imperial Palace for tonight?"

The Empress was naturally extremely agitated.

Subconsciously, she felt

that the person before her might have come to assassinate her.

After all, she was the true mastermind behind the Blood Gu matter.

If Ren Xiaoyao pursued the matter of the Blood Gu,

she would find it difficult to escape death!

Ren Xiaoyao's gaze fell upon the Empress.

He said nothing.

Yet it made the Empress feel endless chill.

The Empress knew in her heart

that if the person before her wished it,

he could likely slap her to death with one hand.

In truth,

Ren Xiaoyao had indeed entertained the thought.

Since he was already here,

should he conveniently kill this Empress?

In any case, this Empress did not look favorably upon him either.

But just as such a thought surfaced in Ren Xiaoyao's mind,

textual information appeared before his eyes.

[It has been detected that you have developed killing intent toward the Great Fortune Bearer, the Empress. You have the following choices.]

[One: Erase the Empress. Because the Empress is a Great Fortune Bearer, after you erase her, you will incur the Heavenly Dao's loathing. When you break through in cultivation and undergo tribulation in the future, the Heavenly Tribulation's power will double. Note: The Empress's Fortune is about to dissipate. After her Fortune dissipates, erasing the Empress will not incur the Heavenly Dao's loathing.]

[Two: Spare the Empress's life. You may obtain the Empress's Fear. When undergoing tribulation, you may seize the Empress's Fortune because of this and weaken the Heavenly Tribulation's power.]

The Empress was also a Great Fortune Bearer?

Ren Xiaoyao thought for a moment.

There seemed to be nothing strange about that.

To be able to become the Dagan Emperor,

the supreme sovereign of the nine and five,

the Empress naturally had great Fortune upon her.

Thus, Ren Xiaoyao temporarily set aside his killing intent toward the Empress.

As for the Empress's Fortune being about to dissipate,

that was understandable as well.

The Empress was now nearly possessed by madness.

Everything she did ran contrary to the proper course.

Sooner or later, she would suffer backlash.

Thus, Ren Xiaoyao decisively chose the second option.

After all, if he kept the Empress alive,

then when he underwent tribulation in the future,

he could still use the Empress's Fortune to weaken the Heavenly Tribulation.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore,

Ren Xiaoyao's gaze shifted away from the Empress. Altering his voice into an aged rasp with spiritual power, he said,

"This old man had ties with Luo Mengshen in his early years. Today, I happened to be in the Imperial Palace and saw you bullying Luo Mengshen's younger sister, so naturally I had to lend a hand. If any of you are dissatisfied, you may fight this old man."

Sword Demon and the other nine Martial Saint Realm experts

felt their minds tremble upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words.

The Purple Robe Elder was in the Through Profound Realm.

All of them had been sent flying by Ren Xiaoyao's single palm strike.

What did they amount to?

At this moment.

The Purple Robe Elder also rushed out from the ruins.

Yet he looked incomparably miserable, his hair disheveled and his face covered in dust. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his Right Hand trembled uncontrollably. Looking at Ren Xiaoyao before him, he did not erupt in rage, but said in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs. Luo Mengxian is certain to die today. No one can save her!"

Ren Xiaoyao chuckled. "What if I insist on saving her?"

The Purple Robe Elder drew a deep breath and said.

"I can tell Your Excellency this: among the martial artists lying in wait within the Imperial Palace tonight, I am not the strongest! If Your Excellency insists on remaining stubbornly unenlightened, then I can only have that person make a move!"

Upon hearing the Purple Robe Elder's words.

Everyone present froze.

Because according to what the Empress, the Sword Demon, and the other nine Martial Saint Realm experts knew.

The strongest person invited by the Huangfu Family.

Was the Purple Robe Elder before them.

Yet now, there was actually an even stronger person hidden in the shadows?

Luo Mengxian's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

The Purple Robe Elder himself was already in the Through Profound Realm.

If someone was stronger than him.

Would that not mean a martial artist of the Transcendent Realm?

The Transcendent Realm.

Even within Qianqiu Pavilion.

Was occupied only by the most elite figures.

Those qualified to stand among the Inner Cabinet Elders.

And now.

The Huangfu Family had actually invited a martial artist of the Transcendent Realm?

After Ren Xiaoyao heard the Purple Robe Elder's words.

He merely chuckled.

Then.

Ren Xiaoyao's gaze turned toward the Empress.

When the Empress sensed Ren Xiaoyao's gaze.

And felt that bone-piercing chill.

She Only Felt as though she had fallen into an endless glacier.

Thud!

The Empress had already been guilty and uneasy.

Now, with Ren Xiaoyao staring at her like this.

She Only Felt her Legs go weak.

This Dagan Emperor.

Actually dropped directly to her knees.

Her face Turned White, filled with terror.

She did not dare meet Ren Xiaoyao's eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao found it amusing. He chuckled and said, "Empress, why kneel before me? I know you fear death, but if I wished to kill you, not even Immortals could save you. What use is your kneeling?"

Upon hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words.

Fear surged even deeper within the Empress's heart.

Her entire body shook without stop.

She could not utter a word.

Ren Xiaoyao said blandly, "A martial artist of the Transcendent Realm, is it? Since this old man has already discovered your trail, what meaning is there in continuing to hide and skulk about?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

At this moment.

A burst of rapid coughing.

Came from the ruins behind the Empress.

Then, a gaunt Old Man emerged from the rubble.

He wore a blood-colored robe.

His hair and beard were entirely white.

Only then did everyone realize.

Ren Xiaoyao had not been staring at the Empress just now.

But at this Old Man concealed within the ruins.

The Old Man stepped out from the rubble.

He looked at Ren Xiaoyao before him.

And walked toward him step by step.

From his body.

Strands of strange Blood-Red Light began to radiate.

In but an instant, this bloody glow.

Blanketed the skies above the entire Imperial Palace.

Even the moon seemed stained scarlet.

At this moment.

Everyone Only Felt a chill run down their spines.

Such a phenomenon.

Had already surpassed everyone's imagination.

They Only Felt.

That the Old Man before them.

Was like Gods and Devils reborn.

Touch him, and death was certain.
