Ming Huatong's voice fell.
"So it's you."
A terrifying and indifferent voice sounded, causing the expressions of the other demonic cultivators in the manor to change slightly, and they immediately made way.
"It's Jin Wuque, the demon son of the forbidden noble family, the Jin family."
"Hiss!!!"
"So the one pursuing Ming Huatong is from a forbidden family. No wonder none of you dared to step forward and talk to him."
"Who is this person Ming Huatong invited? He's actually using him as a shield. Isn't this going to harm him?"
"People from forbidden families have always acted without scruples. This person is in danger."
Chen Jiuyang turned around and saw a burly man wearing ancient, dark, ornate robes, with wisps of demonic energy swirling around him, walking towards him with an unfriendly expression.
This person exuded a trace of the aura of a forbidden land.
Both the aura of a sacred land and the aura of a forbidden land were completely different from other auras in the mortal world.
Chen Jiuyang, having encountered both sacred and forbidden lands, could immediately distinguish them.
Were people from forbidden families related to the Nine Forbidden Lands?
Upon seeing Jin Wuque, Ming Huatong's expression changed slightly. She smiled and said to Chen Jiuyang, "Brother Jiuyang, he is the one who is forcefully pursuing me. Several times he almost took advantage of me. Brother Jiuyang, how can you witness such evil deeds and ignore them?"
Chen Jiuyang sized up Jin Wuque and said calmly to Ming Huatong, "If I help you deal with him, what benefits will I get?"
"Heh heh." Ming Huatong let out a silvery laugh and winked at Chen Jiuyang, "As long as Brother Jiuyang helps me, I will do anything you ask."
"That won't be necessary." Chen Jiuyang said faintly, "After this is done, I wish to meet your grandmother. There are some questions I'd like to ask her."
That old monster from the Lotus Sect had lived for so long and originated from a forbidden land, but her cultivation was not strong. There were some things he needed to inquire about from her.
"Alright, no problem." Ming Huatong immediately agreed.
Then, Ming Huatong said to the tall, demonic energy-wreathed Jin Wuque, "Brother Jin, this is the person I, Brother Jiuyang, admire. My sacred path has always respected strength. If you can defeat Brother Jiuyang, I will immediately fall in love with you, Brother Jin."
They say that beautiful women are the cause of disaster, and it is indeed true.
After Ming Huatong changed from martial arts cultivation to immortal cultivation, not only did her charming power increase, but she also had a touch of immortal aura, making people fascinated and wanting to possess her.
Jin Wuque was tall, over two meters, a full head taller than the one-meter-eighty-five Chen Jiuyang. His eyes were indifferent, and he looked down at Chen Jiuyang with an arrogant and overbearing tone:
"Since you are the person Huatong admires, you must not be an unknown person. State your identity."
Chen Jiuyang glanced at him, his expression indifferent and calm, and said faintly, "You are not worthy of me stating my name."
"Make your move. Let me see the strength of those who walk outside from the forbidden families."
"Even more arrogant than me? I originally wanted to spare your life, but it seems I should send you on your way directly."
Jin Wuque drew out a large saber, and a terrifying saber strike filled with demonic energy directly slashed towards Chen Jiuyang.
The demonic cultivators around them instantly scattered, fearing being caught in the crossfire.
"Clang!"
This powerful saber strike was unleashed, and then the saber body stopped a meter in front of Chen Jiuyang's void, unable to move forward even an inch.
"Whoosh!"
Everyone's expressions changed. Who was this person Ming Huatong had invited as a shield? His strength was so formidable that he stopped Jin Wuque's saber a meter away?
Jin Wuque's expression immediately turned grim: "As expected, you have some skill."
Ming Huatong also looked at Chen Jiuyang with a look of pleasant surprise. She had been a little worried, not knowing if Chen Jiuyang could withstand Jin Wuque's attack.
After all, Jin Wuque was also a genius of the Heavenly Realm, and he came from a forbidden family, not inferior to Chen Jiuyang.
Now, it seemed there was no need to worry; she had been overthinking.
"Weak, too weak." Chen Jiuyang's expression was calm, and he said faintly, "Too weak indeed."
"With just this strength, you dare to challenge me? Truly courting death."
As his voice fell, Chen Jiuyang extended a finger and pointed at Jin Wuque from a distance.
"Boom!!!"
A trace of immense and terrifying power suddenly leaked from Chen Jiuyang, causing everyone's expressions to change.
"Bang—"
Jin Wuque's body was instantly locked by this force, and then his body seemed to collide with a mountain, flying backward and creating a small pit in the ground.
Chen Jiuyang hadn't even used his fist, fearing that he would kill Jin Wuque with one punch.
For Ming Huatong, he wouldn't go so far as to kill Jin Wuque, who came from a forbidden family.
The next moment, Chen Jiuyang's figure flickered into the pit where Jin Wuque lay. This time, it was his turn to look down at Jin Wuque, his voice indifferent: "Seeing as we are both of the sacred path, I will spare your life this time. Do not attempt such an overestimation of your abilities in the future."
"Pfft—"
Jin Wuque's face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He came from a forbidden family and was a genius, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Even the old monster from the Lotus Sect dared not trouble him, allowing him to pursue Ming Huatong.
Jin Wuque was unwilling and stared intently at Chen Jiuyang, saying with difficulty, "Who exactly are you? State your name, and I will seek you out for a duel later!"
Chen Jiuyang looked at him with a indifferent expression, nodded slowly, "Your courage is commendable, like someone from the sacred path. I am Chen Jiuyang, and I await you anytime."
As his voice fell, the demonic cultivators in the entire manor were first stunned, and then their expressions changed in unison.
"So it's the Dry Yang Holy Son of the True Saint Sect!"
"The rumors said he was severely injured and died at the hands of a pseudo-Dao Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"Nonsense! Look how strong he is, does he look injured?"
"I didn't expect Ming Huatong to invite this Dry Yang Holy Son as a shield. This matter is quite interesting."
"The Dry Yang Holy Son has not appeared in the outside world for several years. I didn't expect him to be in such a place."
Jin Wuque looked confused. Chen Jiuyang, when did his demonic path have such a powerful figure?
Years ago, Chen Jiuyang had kept a low profile, spending a lot of resources to delete his information from this world as much as possible, leaving no trace.
Some people who woke up later and emerged into the world had never even heard of him.
Chen Jiuyang looked at Ming Huatong and said, "I've resolved the matter for you. I await your good news."
Then, Chen Jiuyang drove away from the manor.
"Hmm?"
As Chen Jiuyang drove through the streets of Ziyang City, he actually saw Gong Liexian and the Sword Wielder Wan Xiu seemingly searching for something.
Could it be that Gong Liexian was still stubbornly pursuing Ming Huatong?
After several years, Gong Liexian had also broken through to the Heavenly Realm cultivation, and his strength was not weak.
"Fate, truly wonderful."
Chen Jiuyang drove away. With the deliberate efforts of Yan Huang and the Dragon Capital Sword Wielders, even the Sword Wielders were made to forget his existence.
After staying home for a few more days, Chen Jiuyang prepared to return to the True Demon Sect to challenge the Sect Master Su Jinglun.
The news could no longer be suppressed at this point. It spread throughout the core levels of the demonic path, causing an uproar.
