Leaving aside the commotion among the disciples, the appearance of Ye Sha and Ji Ying immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Langya Heavenly Palace, especially the four Yang Ling who had gathered together. Their gazes were even more solemn, as they knew that Xiao Han was no longer in the Great Thousand World.

Without Xiao Han, the Langya Heavenly Palace struggles to cope with these two formidable Extraterrestrial Evil race...

That's not very realistic!

"What's going on? Why isn't the sect's Identification Array responding?"

If it were anywhere else, it would be fine, but as a newcomer, Langya Heavenly Palace could not yet have perfect control over the entire continent.

But this is Langya City, their main base. Even they don't know the exact number of Spirit Array here. Wouldn't it be easy for them to spot the two Demon Emperors, who are as dazzling as torches in the night?

The three looked at the composed Tai Yun with suspicion. The Surveillance Spirit Array of the Langya Heavenly Palace was his domain, and judging from his expression, who could believe there was nothing fishy going on?

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Tai Yun revealed a cunning, fox-like smile.

"Don't worry, everyone, there's going to be a good show today!"

"A good show? Are you sure?" Yang Ling frowned slightly. This was a matter of life and death, and there was no room for jokes.

"Hey, hey, Elder Qian Cha, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive!"

Just Qian Cha Tai Yun was about to speak, he saw Qiancha silently take out the Absolute Shadow Killing Array and casually fiddling with it. He quickly begged for mercy.

"I will now speak..."

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he smiled easily again.

"It seems I don't need to waste my breath."

"Grand Supreme!" X4

Ice Emperor nodded expressionlessly.

"Your Grand Supreme, I do not know this..."

Several people opened their mouths to speak, but were interrupted by the former waving his hand.

"I was the one who ordered Tai Yun to suppress the news."

Yang Ling and the others breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that everything was under the Grand Supreme's control.

Ice Emperor didn't dwell on the topic with the others, and changed the subject...

"Are all the disciples within the Langya City area?"

"Apart from necessary field missions, all disciples are currently in Langya City."

Although the Elder did not know Ice Emperor's intentions, they still answered earnestly.

"Good."

Ice Emperor smiled with satisfaction, and then gave the order:

"The Sky Covering Sun Array is now under your control. Is there a problem?"

"What?"

Yang Ling and the others were shocked and quickly declined, saying, "No, no, our cultivation is too low to control such Grand Array."

"Then find someone capable of it?"

Ice Emperor's understated remark immediately shut down any subsequent arguments they might have made.

Among the Spirit Array Master of the Langya Heavenly Palace, these four are the most skilled after Xiao Han; there are no others.

Moreover, it's not that they're truly incapable; achieving perfect control is Arabian Nights, but they can still try to roughly control attacks, defenses, and simple changes in Spirit Array.

"It's not like you're dealing with this alone. Can't the four of you work together?"

"This..."

With everyone still looking troubled, it was the more composed Tai Yun stepped forward.

"Your Grand Supreme, although the four of us can work together to control the Grand Array, our strength is ultimately insufficient, and we are afraid we cannot stop the enemy!"

"Who told you to block my way?"

Ice Emperor sounded surprised.

Where do you get your confidence?

He was surprised. He had a rough understanding of the sect's disciples, but he hadn't expected the Elder's problems to be even more serious. How could a few high-level Spirit Array Master, manipulating an Immortal Grade Spirit Array, dare to attempt to contend against a peak Profound Demon Emperor?

Um??!!

No need to block it?

Yang Ling and the others were also bewildered. What did the Supreme Elder mean by that?

Their confusion didn't last long; Ice Emperor quickly provided an explanation.

"You only need to hold off one of them for a maximum of fifteen minutes; don't worry about the others."

Can you hold off a Profound Demon Emperor for a quarter of an hour?

The group exchanged glances, all sharing the same excitement in each other's eyes—it seemed like something was going to work!

Indeed, four Spirit Array Masters would be nothing more than a breath away from the Profound Demon Emperor, but there's still an Immortal Grade Spirit Array here, isn't there?

The Sky Covering Sun Array is not some cheap, hastily made junk; it is a top-tier Spirit Array capable of serving as a Sect Protecting Array. With its long period of energy accumulation, it can operate autonomously for a short while even without human control.

To put it bluntly, you could even tie up a dog!

"Remember, your mission is to hold them off!"

Ice Emperor's tone subtly revealed excitement.

"Prevent them from attacking other areas, prevent them from extricating themselves, understand?"

Got it!

They finally understood the Supreme Elder's deeper meaning; it turned out that this person not only intended to repel the other party but also wanted to keep the "distinguished guest" here!

It must be said that this idea also quite appealed to them!

The group was quick-witted, and after a moment's thought, You Ye spoke:

"If the Grand Supreme Lord intends to leave all the enemies behind, perhaps we can [show our strength]?"

"Oh? How should I perform?"

Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor became interested.

"In this life-or-death situation, how can such a large sect only have a few of us step in?"

You Ye chuckled softly:

"Although the disciples and Elder of the sect can't provide much assistance, they still contribute to the fighting force, don't they?"

"After all, this is A Beast at Bay, Struggling on the Brink of Death, isn't it?"

"Arrange."

Ice Emperor gave his approval, and in the next instant, he flashed and appeared in front of the two Extraterrestrial Evil race, his Long Whip swirling around him like a soft ribbon, appearing and disappearing.

"Just you?"

Ji Ying looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, asked in surprise.

"Don't bother looking anymore, it's just bad luck that the Palace Master isn't here today."

Ice Emperor naturally understood Ji Ying's confusion and explained without changing his expression.

"What? Not here?"

The two, Ji Ying and Ji Ying, looked at each other in silence, both seeing the difficulty in each other's eyes.

The Langya Heavenly Palace's secrecy was so excellent that only a few core members knew of Xiao Han's departure. Those who were merely gathering information on the periphery were completely unaware of it and stumbled in dumbfounded.

The two men were fully aware that they had alerted the enemy. Their mission was to kill the powerful figure from the Great Thousand Realms who had caused the deaths of the two Demon Emperors, including Duan Ren, and they only had one chance to act. Even if they killed the person in front of them now, the mission would still be considered a failure.

After pondering for Ji Ying, Ji Ying's expression hardened.

"Never mind, since their Palace Master isn't here, let's just wipe out the entire Langya Heavenly Palace. That way, we can at least give the clan leader an explanation!"

"Ye Sha, you take care of this one, and I'll handle the rest. Is that alright?"

"Hehe, no."

Ye Sha twisted his neck, revealing a sinister smile.

"To be able to bathe in the blood of the strong, how exciting!"

Ji Ying was about to leave, a whip suddenly flashed across the sky, heading straight for his face. Ji Ying's expression turned cold, his Demonic Qi surged, and he grabbed the whip, casually dispersing it.

"Ye Sha, it's up to you."

"Clear."

Ye Sha stood in front of Ice Emperor, and seeing the other's "solemn" and "panicked" expression, he felt a surge of pleasure.

"You're quite good; you didn't choose to run away."

Even if the opponent is a level higher, it would still be quite difficult to deal with them if they were to flee at full speed.

"I will grant you a dignified death."

You'll be the one who dies!

Ye Sha was met with a sudden barrage of whips and a harsh remark that even in defeat, one should not lose face.

"Oh!"

Ye Sha glanced disdainfully at the opponent's attack, then slammed his fists together, sharp blades extending from his forearms, Demonic Qi surging.

"Blade Devouring Heaven!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ji Ying chuckled as he looked at the barrier before him and the Elder standing guard within it.

"Useless struggle!" With a casual wave of his hand, a huge, pitch-black palm slammed heavily onto the barrier.

"Boom!"

A violent roar erupted, the barrier trembled twice, and then returned to calm.

Ji Ying didn't care. If he could break the Grand Array with a casual strike, he would be more worried about whether it was a trap.

Squinting at the ugly state of the ants below, they displayed a variety of expressions, including panic, defiance, and ruthlessness.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ji Ying 'Ji Ying as he looked at the four people sitting together in a certain space. The strange Runes in front of them and the countless Spirit Seal surrounding them confirmed that they were the controllers of the Spirit Array.

At this moment, the latter's face turned red and his breathing became disordered, which made Ji Ying secretly smug.

"Without Great Spirit Array Master, they are so easily defeated."

Seemingly noticing Ji Ying Jade Pendant. Immediately afterward, amidst Ji Ying's convulsing face, an overwhelming attack came crashing down. His venomous eyes spotted the rising and falling lights of the Spirit Array within the city.

"The Demon Sea Overturn!"

The dark ocean, composed of dense Demonic Qi, surged with boundless waves, like the long tongue of a giant beast's gaping maw, completely engulfing the attack without creating a single ripple.

As if he had resolved the attack with effortless ease, Ji Ying spoke calmly.

"Alright, what else do you have now...?"

More rays of light came, forcing him to say something:

Damn it!
