Ying Wu Yi

Along the way, Xiao Han encountered no enemies and entered the depths of the Shadow Demon Sect without any hindrance.

Two hours later, Xiao Han finally stopped and looked at the empty, huge square in front of him, and smiled.

"This is interesting."

Then, he took another step forward, and suddenly countless Icy Long Spear appeared around his body.

"Go!"

At Xiao Han's command, spears shot out in all directions, accompanied by screams of agony.

The Spiritual Power within his body surged wildly, forming a massive Frost Storm around him. The wind and snow gradually spread, expanding forward step by step along with Xiao Han's figure.

"Bite!"

Finally, Xiao Han walked to the center of the plaza. A jet-black longsword was stuck at his feet, and he stopped in his tracks.

"So, you're finally willing to come out?"

"The Shadow Demon Sect members?"

He remained calm and composed, but the Ice Attribute Spirit Energy circulating in his palm indicated that Xiao Han's attitude was not as arrogant as it seemed.

As Xiao Han finished speaking, the space in the square rippled, and the originally empty square was instantly filled with people. Xiao Han, who was all alone, seemed particularly isolated and helpless in this situation.

However, the latter subconsciously ignored the others, his gaze never leaving the dozens of people a hundred feet in front of him.

The Supreme expert of the Shadow Demon Sect, and their Sect Master —the super strong expert Ying Wu Yi!

Only then did Xiao Han truly take a close look at Ying Wu Yi.

As the Sect Master the Shadow Demon Sect, his strength is beyond question; he is an unparalleled and renowned powerhouse in the Commerce Continent.

His fair and slender hands hung naturally at his sides, and his handsome face, like that of a friendly neighbor, made it hard to imagine that such a person was actually the Sect Master the Shadow Demon Sect, a ruthless killer.

His cultivation was perfectly mastered, and he easily blended into the surrounding space. If he did not actively expose himself, almost no one would be able to detect his strength.

Simply standing still can naturally inspire trust and reassurance, making people willing to entrust their lives to someone—perhaps this is what is meant by leadership qualities.

"The Shadow Demon Sect has gone to such lengths to entertain me; it is truly an honor!"

In front of the Shadow Demon Sect members, Xiao Han greeted them with a smile, as if he were truly visiting relatives and friends.

"Hehe~" The hoarse voice beneath Ying Wu Yi's handsome face sent chills down one's spine.

"Your strength is indeed sufficient to warrant such a large-scale mobilization."

"If a Spirit Array Master is not enough, then my Shadow Demon Sect deserves to perish."

Xiao Han frowned slightly, then relaxed. "Sect Master noticed?"

"Just a little trick to get by." Ying Wu Yi didn't explain, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile.

If Ying Wu Yi seemed to take it for granted, the others in the Shadow Demon Sect were alarmed.

The two Supreme Elder behind Ying Wu Yi, in particular, had grim faces, thankful that a domineering Sect Master had forcibly pulled them all out.

A well-prepared Spirit Array Master possesses destructive power far exceeding that of an ordinary Earthly Supreme. If they were to deploy manpower to intercept Xiao Han based on the level of a seventh or eighth-grade Supreme that he demonstrated in battle, it would be like sending Calabash Brothers to save their grandfather—no matter how many people went, they would be sent to their deaths, directly burying their advantage.

But now...

The Elder sneered inwardly, "So what if he's Spirit Array Master?"

Their entire sect's main force couldn't possibly defeat a mere Spirit Array Master.

Unless he is a high-level Spirit Array Master strength is comparable to that of Great Perfection Earthly Supreme.

But they had never provoked such beings, so why would they care about the small foundation of their Shadow Demon Sect?

Ying Wu Yi then voiced his doubts, "I wonder where my Shadow Demon Sect has offended you, sir, to provoke such anger?"

This question also voiced everyone's thoughts. Although the Shadow Demon Sect had made countless enemies, they were also quite perceptive and would never provoke enemies they could not afford to offend.

Ying Wu Yi remembered the existence of every Earthly Supreme and top-tier power who was hostile to the Shadow Demon Sect, but he definitely did not remember Xiao Han, who was a complete stranger.

Xiao Han replied, "Sect Master Ying is overthinking it. I simply wanted to cause some trouble."

Xiao Han was well aware that as long as he revealed his identity, even if the Limitless Sect, which was supported by the Shadow Demon Sect, was destroyed, the other party would definitely choose to back down.

With three Supreme Realm and one Spirit Array Master, there's no need to consider which to choose.

But Xiao Han still refused to let the other party go; this was a case of being prepared for any eventuality!

Can he say that he coveted the other party's property and that's why he found a pretext to attack their headquarters?

Upon hearing Xiao Han's reply, Ying Wu Yi's smile vanished, his face turning cold as he spoke in an unfriendly tone:

"So, it seems you truly intend to antagonize my Shadow Demon Sect?"

"Please!" Xiao Han met the former's gaze without any hesitation.

"Since that's the case..."

Ying Wu Yi's voice was deep, and he immediately waved his sleeve.

"Form the Shadow Prison Heavenly Demon Formation!"

At a command, the Shadow Demon Sect Expert on the field, led by several Supreme Realm Elder, rapidly changed their forms, leaving countless afterimages in the air.

Like tiny parts, they are constantly combined to form larger components, and finally assembled into a whole.

In just a few breaths, a giant black scorpion, tens of thousands of feet in size and exuding a chilling aura, stood majestically in the sky, its ten-thousand-foot-long tail swaying constantly, and its pair of turquoise eyes fixed intently on Xiao Han.

"Sir, please withdraw for now, and my Shadow Demon Sect will forgive and forget what happened."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless." Ying Wu Yi issued an ultimatum to Xiao Han.

Having served as the Sect Master of the Shadow Demon Sect for many years, Ying Wu Yi knew very well who was not to be trifled with. He could kill ordinary Earthly Supreme without any major consequences, and they could even become the Shadow Demon Sect's "GG" (a derogatory term for someone who is easily defeated), thus intimidating all sides and attracting business.

However, special professions like Spirit Pill Master and Spirit Array Master have extremely wide networks of connections. Who knows what powerful forces and strong individuals they might associate with? If they are not careful, even the Shadow Demon Sect will not be able to withstand it.

Therefore, he was still trying to give Xiao Han, and even more so, the Shadow Demon Sect, a chance.

But if the other party remains aggressive, then don't blame him for taking drastic measures.

If they keep compromising and backing down when they are being bullied like this, wouldn't they become a laughing stock? How could the Shadow Demon Sect survive in the underworld then?

However, after Ying Wu Yi finished speaking, Xiao Han's reply was...

"Are we finally going to get serious?"

Xiao Han yawned without giving him any face and said casually.

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

"Hahaha~"

Ying Wu Yi laughed in anger. "Since you won't seize the opportunity, don't blame me." With a flick of his sleeve,

"Let's do it!"

"Drink!"

The Shadow Demon Sect members, who had been waiting impatiently, responded in unison, and the Black Scorpion in the sky also exuded a soaring killing intent.

Meanwhile, the remaining powerful figures, including Ying Wu Yi, were also sharpening their Divine Artifact, drawing their gleaming divine artifacts. In particular, the dagger in the hand of Sect Master Ying Wu Yi exuded a power far exceeding that of ordinary divine Divine Artifact, clearly resembling a low-level Sacred Object.

The crowd surrounded Xiao Han, and just then...

A deafening roar drew everyone's attention. Looking up, everyone's faces turned deathly pale, and Ying Wu Yi was utterly shocked, exclaiming:

"Impossible!"
