Encounter
"Hall Master!"
The Elder belonging to the Heavenly Azure Hall stood up excitedly, their eyes meeting the newcomer.
"Liu Qingyang?!"
"You've kept us waiting!"
Yan Lie.
"I apologize, Sect Master Yan, I was simply unable to attend earlier."
"It seems that Hall Master Liu has made some breakthrough?"
Yang Jiuxiao stood up from his seat, cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Qingyang, and his eyes revealed undisguised amazement and envy.
He used to be able to feel the immense power surging within Liu Qingyang, but now he seemed like an ordinary person.
Excluding the possibility that Liu Qingyang had lost all his cultivation, the only other possibility is that the other party's strength has improved again, reaching a level that he cannot observe.
"A lucky breakthrough."
When Yang Jiuxiao pointed out his cultivation progress, Liu Qingyang didn't mind and smiled as he admitted it.
The four light-hearted words were like a boulder crashing into a deep pool at the Abyssal Depths, creating a huge splash.
"Hall Master, you've already reached the Ten Directions Realm?"
"That's right."
"Boom!"
Liu Qingyang straightened up slightly, and everyone in the hall immediately felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, making it hard to breathe.
Yang Jiuxiao, whose situation was in the best shape, waved his hand with a wry smile.
"Hall Master Liu, you might as well withdraw your supernatural powers. Now is not the time to display your strength."
"Let's think about a strategy to deal with the Extraterrestrial Evil race."
"We haven't come up with a good solution after all this time."
"What are your thoughts, Hall Master Liu?"
I wouldn't call it insightful.
Liu Qingyang said modestly,
"Let me dispel your worries."
"For example, that Profound Demon Emperor."
When the topic of the Profound Demon Emperor came up, everyone became serious.
"I believe you all know perfectly well that the Profound Demon Emperor is not an enemy that our Heavenly Azure Continent can deal with on its own."
The room fell silent, and many people clenched their fists involuntarily. Knowing something and accepting it are two different things!
"However, you all need not underestimate yourselves."
Just as the atmosphere on the field fell into a gloomy mood again, Liu Qingyang changed the subject.
"Our inability to cope with such a crisis is simply due to the limitations of our plane; the Heavenly Azure Continent cannot support our breakthrough to a higher level."
"Therefore, we need to travel to a higher-level dimension."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone understood Liu Qingyang's deeper meaning.
"Liu Qingyang, you wouldn't be acting as a lobbyist for that senior, would you?"
Yan Lie looked at Liu Qingyang with suspicion in his eyes.
Liu Qingyang did not answer, but smiled and asked in return.
"Don't you all want to see a wider world?"
Yan Lie fell silent, head bowed in thought. Who wouldn't want that?
"I know that you all have doubts about that senior."
After all, the people present were not naive youngsters; their rich experience accumulated over the years made them unable to believe in such a windfall.
While grateful for Xiao Han's kindness to the Heavenly Azure Continent, she could not suppress her suspicions about his motives.
"But I hope you all understand one thing."
"Without our predecessors, how long could the Heavenly Azure Continent have held out?"
What will the future hold for us?
That goes without saying!
The thought of that Profound Demon Emperor sent chills down everyone's spines.
Without a powerful figure like Xiao Han, all living beings on the Heavenly Azure Continent, including them, would inevitably be unable to escape the clutches of slaughter.
At least for now, they still have a sliver of uncertainty, don't they?
"What does that senior want us to do?"
Someone in the main hall asked a question.
"What you all have been doing lately."
Liu Qingyang's smile faded, and his tone became serious.
"That's it?"
Yan Lie suddenly chuckled and said dismissively.
"Just a few days ago I was worried about what would happen if I never encountered Extraterrestrial Evil race again."
Afterwards, Liu Qingyang continued to introduce the entire situation he knew to the others, and even did not hide the fact that he had become the Plane Master.
He thought this would upset others, but in the end, everyone just brushed it off with a simple "You're lucky."
For the Heavenly Azure Beings, it might actually be a good thing that Liu Qingyang, a local, has taken control of the Heavenly Azure Continent. At least his strength, character, and actions have been seen by everyone.
Upon learning that Xiao Han had been guided by the legacy of the Battle Venerable Mingyu, everyone was deeply moved, marveling at the Battle Venerable Mingyu's contributions to the Heavenly Azure Continent and how fate had brought them here...
The sun rose and set, then rose again, and the long meeting came to an end.
"Everyone, we are powerless against that Mysterious Profound Demon Emperor, but at least we cannot let those things outside sully his eyes when he returns."
Liu Qingyang addressed the crowd in a loud voice:
"How?"
"As the Alliance Leader commands!"
Tian Lan discussed how to end this war, which was already of unequal strength, decisively and beautifully, Xiao Han also met his long-awaited opponent.
"A powerful figure in this Great Thousand World?!"
The speaker's tone was slightly serious, his perception spreading out, but soon he withdrew it again, filled with doubt.
No ambush?
They breathed a sigh of relief; at least their purpose hadn't been exposed.
His eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light, and he gave a cold smile.
"Powerful beings of this Great Thousand World, state your names, and I will allow you to leave your names."
Although he couldn't ascertain the opponent's exact strength, he could roughly sense that his own cultivation was superior, coupled with the support of the army behind him...
The advantage lies with me!
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han couldn't help but smile.
"It seems my friends from the Illusion Demon Race have me cornered?"
"The people in this Great Thousand World are really just a bunch of guys who only know how to talk."
The Profound Demon Emperor's tone grew impatient; he had no time to argue with someone who was destined to die.
"Since you wish to seek your own death, I will grant your wish."
"Remember, it was the Nether Illusion Profound Demon Emperor who killed you!"
The words were spoken.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Sir, please help me!"
Countless Space Rift appeared without warning in the camp of the Extraterrestrial Evil race army, and the terrifying suction force instantly swallowed the unsuspecting Extraterrestrial Evil race into them.
The pitch-black, deep, and utterly silent Space Rift was like an indescribable, dark spring, swallowing every living being that dared to look directly at it.
Noticing the strange occurrence behind him, before the Nether Illusion Profound Demon Emperor could react, five or six out of ten of the Evil Clan army had already perished.
"You bastard!"
The Nether Illusion Profound Demon Emperor's eyes were bloodshot. This military expedition was originally intended to provide benefits to his own people and to vent the pent-up frustration from the war, so he brought a large number of people with him.
Who would have thought that such a heavy loss would occur before even reaching the destination?
Just as he was about to forcefully close the Space Rift, a soft voice drifted into his ear.
"It's just a few deaths, why make such a fuss!"
"You'd better have a proper talk with me."
"Seal Heaven Lock Earth!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "..."
The light patterns of the Spirit Array emerged from beneath their feet, radiating pure white light. Dozens of chains as thick as mountains emerged from the Spirit Array, soaring straight into the sky, intertwining and binding each other, completely sealing off the space. From the outside, it looked like a giant snowball.
"Spirit Array Master?"
Xiao Han's exposed methods also made Nether Illusion Profound Demon Emperor understand the former's identity, and he clearly saw the reason why this person with mediocre Spiritual Power was able to stop him.
"Hiss~"
His attitude became slightly more serious, and the excitement in his eyes intensified.
"Slaying an Immortal Grade Spirit Array Master is a great achievement!"
"That depends on whether you have a good set of teeth!"
Xiao Han lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew backward. At the same time, he flicked his finger, and five streams of Flowing Light shot towards the Nether Illusion Profound Demon Emperor.
