“You are the Third Prince.”
Prefect Liang pondered for a while, calling to mind Lin Shihuang’s visage, and solemnly said.
He hadn’t forgotten. Third Prince Lin Shihuang.
For committing treason, abetting his accomplices, accordingly receiving the harshest punishment, each one was a capital offense punishable by decapitation.
“The Emperor wants your head, but you have joined the Dragon Sparrow Sect.- Seeing his demeanor, Prefect Liang knew that the current Lin Shihuang was not someone he could apprehend.
-Are you implying, Prefect Liang, that you want to arrest me?”
Lin Shihuang saw these lackeys of the despot on the dragon throne, and without any good impression of them, he retorted despondently.
Prefect Liang shook his head, “Enough. You wish to save this city’s common folk, and I am to restrain you for doing so. How is that right? I may be an official, but I am not a rigid thinking person.”
-While you are saying all of this, you might want to look at the sky.” Han Ye gestured towards the large mass of demonic clouds surging in the firmament, speaking with a somewhat grave expression.
The demonic clouds rolled towards them, converging at their location, strands
of blood-colored lines intricately intertwined.
“Is it too late to leave now?”
Lin Shihuang couldn’t help but ask.
“Probably too late.”
Han Ye shook his head.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!
Rows of armored soldiers poured out swiftly from the City Lord Mansion to
protect the mansion.
“Quick! Inform the City Lord!”
“Demon cultivators are invading the city!”
The lead commander shouted so.
The next second, a blood-coloured thread pierced the commander’s chest, “Pu
Chi” a sound, a lot of fresh blood spurted out.
The commander’s fierceness in his eyes turned to disbelief, and he slowly fell down.
The surrounding soldiers, after seeing this scene, were all terrified. Many demon cultivators descended from the sky, with the disciples behind Han Ye moving forward to fight.
“Sir, retreat!”
The scholar protected Prefect Liang and ran toward the mansion. Han Ye and disciples like Wang Da Niu all took out their magical treasures, ready to confront the enemies.
— Whoosh!
A demon cultivator flew out from the demonic cloud, landed on the commander’s body, and started to absorb his fresh blood to enhance his own cultivation. The body immediately shrank and withered.
The aura was very powerful, undoubtedly a Foundation Establishment realm demon cultivator.
These walking corpses had a dark complexion, their bodies comparable to refined steel, radiating magic power.
In the black palanquin sat an old Taoist in black robe, with black whiskers at his temples, holding a whisk, his expression extremely cold.
Han Ye knew, the owner of this palanquin must be a powerful demon cultivator, the culprit behind the murder of the Inner Sect disciple.
“Senior Brother! Let’s retreat first!”
Several disciples from the Pure Yang Peak, after slaying the ghosts in front of them, shouted at Han Ye.
Han Ye didn’t believe he was capable of taking on the opponent.
He felt that the Taoist in the palanquin might be even stronger than a Golden Core cultivator.
However, if he ran away directly at this point, he would likely be pursued relentlessly by the opponent, so he needed to create some confusion.
“Humph! The elder disciple of my Dragon Sparrow Sect will arrive soon, you all will be trapped like turtles in a jar, with no escape!”
Facing the multitude of walking corpses and fierce ghosts, Han Ye showed no fear, but burst into laughter. His face showed no hesitation as he transmitted his voice towards the direction of the palanquin.
“Hand over the Demon Chart.”
But the opposition remained unmoved. The old Taoist’s voice was hoarse. He waved his whisk slightly and dozens of light trails appeared on the street, and his ten imposing walking corpses stood in front of him, their qi fluctuating around the Qi Sea Realm.
They were all live cultivators once, but after death, they were refined into walking corpses for battle.
“Why didn’t my lie work, or was it that he wasn’t scared at all.
Han Ye was perplexed.
His “Bewitching Hearsay” attribute didn’t have the effect he anticipated.
“Why doesn’t he believe...”
He immediately turned and ran, with more than a dozen light trails chasing him from behind, and the walking corpses killed towards him.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, the sound of breaking air echoed above the sky.
Sword humming noises came from the sky, Han Ye looked up to see countless light trails flying through the sky, forming multiple beams. Examining closely, they were figures of people riding on flying swords. The rolling sword qi came sweeping in, resembling ominous black clouds. Even Prefect Liang of the City Lord Mansion, Wang Da Niu, Lin Shihuang, and others engaged in the battle were taken aback by this spectacle. Lin Shihuang looked at the sword shadows filling the sky and exclaimed.
“It’s them, the elders! I didn’t expect they actually camel-
in the blink, a solemn-faced true inheritor in a white robe descended from the void. His eyes remained calm as he sword slashed down a Golden Core demon cultivator. The demon cultivator could not dodge and was directly shattered, together with the Golden Core, leaving a huge crack in the ground.
At a distance, many civilians and passing cultivators who were hiding in their homes were astoundingly surprised at the sight of the figures in the sky.
“So many Immortals! So many Immortals!”
Those common people, who weren’t aware of the differences among the cultivators, seeing the flying figures, kept exclaiming “Immortals” over and over again.
This dense crowd, not to mention tens of thousands, likely numbered in the thousands.
It could be said that many people had never seen such a grand spectacle in their lives.
Seeing hundreds, perhaps thousands, of sword-riding immortals above their heads soaring through the sky was much like a swarm of locusts passing over the land.
Only then did Han Ye understand: “So, I didn’t lie, the elders really did come.”
