A number of Envoys were already at the entrance of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land.
The Yan Emperor could die, but his body had to be recovered.
The Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land's aristocratic families and the Lotus Sect said to them, "You cannot stop her, your strength is not enough. What if I join you?"
The Dragon Country had nine great forbidden lands, each with different rules, and not all were as easy to find as Yunxian Cliff.
The Liuxian Clan was a forbidden land with an extremely hidden entrance.
Xiguang Province bordered Guizhou Province, a region of mountains and forests, with many uninhabited areas.
The entrance to the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land was located within a forest behind a large mountain. Inside, it was adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding luxury and filled with spiritual energy, resembling a fairyland.
Outside the entrance to the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land stood dozens of Envoys clad in gray and white.
For these Envoys, the Yan Emperor had fallen, but they had to retrieve his remains!
Currently, the Yan Emperor's disciple, Chen Beixuan, was pursuing the Mother of Lotus, and the Mother of Lotus knew that after killing the Yan Emperor, she would inevitably stir up a hornet's nest. She would no longer be able to remain in the mortal realm within the Dragon Country, so she was heading directly to the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land with the Yan Emperor's body.
These dozens of Envoys were lying in wait here!
A member of the aristocratic families within the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land, dressed in the Lotus Sect's attire, spoke, "I advise you to leave."
The leading Envoy said coldly, "Without the Yan Emperor's remains, we will not leave."
"Heh heh," the member of the aristocratic families sneered, "While Envoys are powerful, there are few mortals here who can lend you their strength. With you alone, you cannot block the entrance to the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land. To take something from the Mother of Lotus, you are even less capable."
The relationships within the aristocratic families of the forbidden land were similar to the 108 sects of the Demonic Path. Although they were in the same place, their powers differed.
The faces of these dozens of Envoys turned grim, and as they were about to respond, a calm voice drifted from afar.
"They cannot, but I wonder if I can."
Everyone turned to look.
A young man, clad in a black nine-dragon imperial robe, exuded no aura, appearing like an ordinary mortal, arrived with the wind. Behind him followed many onlookers. This young man wore a long saber and a long sword at his waist, attracting considerable attention.
The member of the aristocratic families who had been sneering moments ago had his pupils contract, his expression changing slightly. He cupped his fists and bowed, "So it is Lord Qianyang Demon Lord. It is indeed a discourtesy not to have welcomed you."
Chen Jiuyang was the most prominent young prodigy of the mortal realm, and the sect leader of the True Demon Sect of the Demonic Path. How could the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land not know him?
Seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, and witnessing the difference in treatment between how the member of the aristocratic families treated them and how they treated Chen Jiuyang, the dozens of Envoys felt their hearts settle.
Chen Jiuyang looked at the member of the aristocratic families, his expression calm, his eyes slightly cold, and asked, "They cannot take the Yan Emperor's remains, but can I?"
The member of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land's aristocratic families narrowed his eyes, realizing the visitor was not friendly. He said coldly, "Then Lord Qianyang Demon Lord, we shall settle this with a fight to see who is stronger."
"But are you sure, Lord Qianyang Demon Lord, that you want to antagonize my Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land for a corpse?"
In his opinion, Chen Jiuyang was backed by the Chongming Sea Forbidden Land, with a Tribulation-Transcending stage ancestor as his protector. He had already stepped into the Imperial Dao and was considered a peerless mighty figure. His focus should be on unifying the Demonic Path or engaging in a righteous-demonic war, not further antagonizing the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land.
Chen Jiuyang stared at him and said coldly, "Does the old dog Lotus represent your Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land? What a joke!"
"I am on good terms with Mingcheng Dao of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land's aristocratic families. Why don't you go ask him?"
This member of the aristocratic families was trying to bluff him, which was laughable.
The expression on the face of this member of the aristocratic families vanished. He cupped his fists and left a parting remark: "Lotus has eight bodies. Killing just one body is useless, Lord Qianyang Demon Lord. Instead, it will leave more trouble."
With these words, the member of the aristocratic families turned and walked into the depths of the forest, his aura becoming undetectable.
This statement was a threat, implying that Chen Jiuyang could stop the returning Mother of Lotus's body. However, he could not stop the other eight bodies hidden within the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land.
Upon hearing this.
The dozens of Envoys immediately spoke, "Sect Leader Chen, please do not worry. We will fight to the death to block the entrance of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land for you!"
Chen Jiuyang glanced at them, "What that person said earlier was correct. With your strength, you are not enough to block the entrance of a forbidden land."
"Even with my strength, I am not enough to block the entrance of a forbidden land."
Only Chen Jiuyang, who had entered forbidden lands several times, knew how terrifying the power of a forbidden land was.
"There is only one reason for his departure—"
Chen Jiuyang slowly placed his hand on the ancient Human King Sword. Then, with a sudden draw, an indescribably vast power manifested in the heavens and earth!
Chen Jiuyang abruptly thrust it into the entrance of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land.
"That is, I am the sword master of the Human King Sword of this generation."
Chen Jiuyang's own strength was insufficient, but the Human King Sword could temporarily seal the entrance to the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land. How many people in this world dared to contend with the majestic purple energy that surged towards the heavens?
Chen Jiuyang's command to the Human King Sword was to protect the Yan Emperor, but after the Yan Emperor's demise, the Human King Sword flew back to Chen Jiuyang's side.
"...Old dog Lotus..."
Chen Jiuyang stood before the forest, his eyes closed, awaiting the arrival of the Mother of Lotus!
Why did she come to the entrance of the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land? It was to prevent a repeat of the incident with the Martial Saint Chao Lan last time, completely severing the Mother of Lotus's fallback life force!
These dozens of Envoys also waited quietly.
The atmosphere on the scene was heavy and肅殺.
The Yan Emperor had fallen, killed by the combined forces of the five great sacred lands, forbidden aristocratic families, and the six peerless mighty figures of the demon race. This vengeance would surely be repaid in the future! But for now, they had to retrieve the Yan Emperor's remains from the old dog Lotus.
The season was summer.
The wind rustled through the trees, making a swishing sound.
But it was not hot at all; instead, it felt terrifyingly cold.
As time passed.
There was finally movement in the sky.
"Mother of Lotus! Return my master's remains!!!"
From the sky, a young man's roar filled with killing intent echoed.
Beneath the sky, the Mother of Lotus, with tattered clothes and a somewhat disheveled appearance, moved with incredible speed. She was carrying a coffin containing the Yan Emperor's remains on her back, heading in a straight line towards the Liuxian Clan's Forbidden Land.
Indeed, as Chen Jiuyang had predicted. Under the great momentum, the Mother of Lotus had nowhere to hide!
"Heh heh..." The Mother of Lotus's wrinkled old face bore a mocking expression. "You, little Chen Beixuan, think you can stop this Grandma and take Yan Fengyun's remains?"
"Cultivate for another hundred or eighty years."
"With my ten thousand years of martial cultivation, plus eight lifetimes of immortal techniques, and finally taking over Yan Fengyun's body, once successful, I will be able to forge a furnace, defy the heavens, and ascend to immortality!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Then you'll have to survive me today first."
Chen Jiuyang's calm voice made the Mother of Lotus's wrinkled old face freeze in surprise.
And then... anger!
