The town center.
A newly built, magnificent palace.
Duan Tianxiong and his eight companions were among them, their faces grim.
A being of the Saint Realm, Duan Tianxiong is even a Middle Saint Realm expert.
With their lineup, they should be able to roam freely anywhere as long as they don't provoke any special forces.
But now, these eight Saint don't even dare to enter the small Beast Gorge Ridge; they can only cower in this small town.
This was nothing short of a disgrace to them.
However, they had no choice; Beast Gorge Ridge was truly too dangerous.
Two Saint Realm experts fell, and they fell silently, almost instantly killed, without even knowing who killed them.
Even they had to be wary of such an unknown and powerful being.
"The Eighth Elder will be arriving soon. Let's prepare to greet him."
Duan Tianxiong's face was somber, and after a long while, he suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
The other seven nodded, but their expressions were not very good.
One of them couldn't help but ask, "Brother Duan, do you think the Eighth Elder's arrival will be enough to subdue that mysterious being?"
"Since that mysterious being was able to instantly kill Junior Brother Yong and his companion, do you think he might have already surpassed the Saint Realm?"
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.
After all, this concern is not unfounded.
In fact, they had all had this suspicion, but they just didn't want to admit it.
Duan Tianxiong said, "That's impossible. If Emperor Realm appeared in a place like Beast Gorge Ridge, there's no reason why our Thousand Leaves Merchant Association wouldn't know."
"Moreover, breaking through to the Emperor Realm is not only extremely difficult, but it also causes a great commotion. If an Emperor Realm expert were to truly emerge in Beast Gorge Ridge, Caesar Palace would not be completely unaware of it."
Caesar Palace.
That is one of the ten major powers, the true ruler of this realm.
The Thousand Leaves Merchant Association is on good terms with the Caesar Palace, so if Emperor Realm were to appear here, such a major event could not be kept from the Caesar Palace, nor could Caesar Palace possibly keep it from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association.
After all, Thousand Leaves Merchant Association has to pay tribute every year, and Caesar Palace couldn't be so heartless as to not remind Thousand Leaves Merchant Association and let its fat sheep fend for itself.
Upon hearing this, the other seven people fell silent.
Whether they actually agreed with Duan Tianxiong's words remains unknown.
"Let's go, the Eighth Elder is coming; let's go greet him."
Duan Tianxiong forcefully banished those chaotic thoughts, and then stood up.
At the same time.
Outside Black Stone Town.
Ye Xuan had already swaggered into Black Stone Town.
He didn't exude any spiritual energy, but his aura was extremely sharp and fierce, and his body was filled with a bloodthirsty aura.
Those eyes were as cold and sharp as knives, seemingly containing endless killing intent.
If one were to make eye contact with him, those with weak wills would likely be so frightened that their Daoist resolve would crumble.
Such a person might attract attention elsewhere.
But in a place like Black Stone Town, this is perfectly normal.
He looks like the kind of ruthless person who lives and breathes danger in the surrounding area year-round.
Where are Duan Tianxiong and his men now?
"Also, has the Eighth Elder arrived yet?"
Should I go there and start working immediately, or should I do some research and preparation first?
Ye Xuan swaggered into Black Stone Town, appearing cold and domineering, a typical ruthless and taciturn man who kept strangers at bay.
But in reality, he was already planning what to do next.
After all, this is no joke.
Those are eight great Saint, no, if you include the eight elders, then there are nine great Saint.
Even with their cultivation suppressed, the nine Saint were all at the Half-Saint Realm.
Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Ye Xuan to launch a counterattack.
"I wonder if, after the Sealing Realm has suppressed the cultivation of those Saint Realm cultivators to the level of Half-Saint, I will still be able to use the Power of Rules to continue suppressing their cultivation."
"If it works, that would be awesome! We could kill tons of them!"
Ye Xuan suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But he quickly shook his head.
He believed that the system would definitely not give him such an obvious vulnerability.
This damn system is already being quite kind by not taking away his right to use the Power of Rules.
Indeed, that was the case. The woman in black in the divine palace noticed Ye Xuan's thought and couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain.
She couldn't show herself, otherwise she would definitely tell Ye Xuan, "You're dreaming."
"Forget it, let's go ask around first, find out the situation, and then take action immediately."
"Whether the Eighth Elder comes or not doesn't matter. As long as he enters the Sealing Realm, everyone will be affected. Even if he doesn't enter, we can just use the Sealing Realm again."
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision.
Slaughtering Saints, and not just any Saints, but eight Saint Realm experts.
This unparalleled feat is truly thrilling to even think about.
If he truly succeeds, he will absolutely be remembered in history and immortalized.
After all, Divine King defying the Saint Realm, and even more so, the Eight Great Saint Realm —how many heroes across the land could accomplish such a feat?
Ye Xuan was already envisioning his grand undertaking, imagining his meteoric rise to fame and the earth-shattering achievements that would shake the Yuanqing Domain.
Suddenly, powerful auras swept across the sky, and terrifying Saint Realm Domain swept past.
The next moment, Ye Xuan instantly regained consciousness.
He couldn't help but look up, and immediately saw eight golden figures, like eight giants, flying across his head and instantly appearing in the void outside.
" Saint Realm? Eight people?"
When Ye Xuan saw these eight people, he was slightly taken aback at first, and then his face couldn't help but darken.
Damn it, these eight guys are too arrogant. They actually flew over his head without any restraint, and didn't even bother to hide their presence.
This is downright provocation!
"Look, isn't that Saint- level senior from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association? Saint indeed! I wonder when I will ever be able to cultivate to such a level."
"You? Heh, don't dream. I'd like to know what they're up to?"
"I heard that a mysterious powerful figure appeared in Beast Gorge Ridge and killed two Saint Realm. They must be welcoming a big shot from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association Guild."
"What? Such a thing? There's actually such a terrifying being in Beast Gorge Ridge? How is that possible?"
Upon seeing those eight Saint Realm, the cultivators in the small town instantly erupted in excitement.
Even for warriors like them who constantly walk the line between life and death, it's not as simple as just wanting to see the Saint Realm Saint Realm.
Being able to admire the demeanor of Saint so closely would be of great benefit to them.
"As expected, it's those eight little worms from the Thousand Leaves Merchant Association."
"It's just picking someone up, really! Why make such a big fuss? What's with the show?"
"Damn it, I'll beat you all to a pulp later, then we'll see if you dare to act tough again."
Hearing the cultivators' discussions, Ye Xuan's gaze turned even more hostile towards the eight Saint Realm, while his mind was already rapidly devising his next move.
