The Northern Demon King was going to take this trip personally!
Upon hearing his words, Shen Ye sighed internally.
He knew that the Ancient Wilderness were not particularly concerned about the profits of the Dao Market, but First God's inheritance...
Not just the Ancient Wilderness, but the Zhen Clan and the God Clan would also have their eyes on it. The notes left behind by First God were simply too tempting for any cultivator.
After the Northern Demon King finished speaking, he immediately took a step forward and disappeared along with Northern Sealing Demon General. He knew that he had to hurry if he wanted to get his hands on those notes, because the other Demon Kings, the Shen Clan and the God Clan were possibly going to make their moves soon as well.
Within the hall, Shen Ye shook his head slightly. He wanted to advise the Northern Demon King, but he knew that the Demon King would not listen to him anyway.
In the Demon King's eyes, Shen Ye was not an important figure at all. If he tried to give advice, it would only be unappreciated, or even put his life at risk.
He shook his head again before he turned and left.
...
God Clan.
An old man brought a young lady with him as they left the God Clan on this day.
The old man was wearing a black robe and his hair was completely white, while the lady beside him was wearing a robe as white as snow. She was incredibly beautiful.
The lady asked, "Grand Elder, do you think Ye Guan will pass the notebook to us?"
The old man replied calmly, "No, but it's alright. We can just rob him."
The lady fell silent.
The old man looked up at the sky expressionlessly and said, "The things in this world can only be achieved by people with strength."
"Grand Elder, why did First God leave the God Clan back then?" the lady asked.
The old man's expression soured at this question. The lady looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer.
The younger generation did not know the reason why First God left the God Clan. In fact, it was a taboo topic and no one dared to mention it. Hence, many people now only knew that First God was from the First Clan, but not many knew why he left in the first place.
As the old man thought about what had happened in the past, a complicated look flashed past his eyes before he sighed.
The lady continued to ask, "Grand Elder, can you explain to me what happened?"
The old man thought about this lady's special identity and decided to tell her. He said, "I don't know the specifics. I only know that back then, a conflict happened between First God and the clan leader of the God Clan. I don't know what the conflict was about, but I do know that First God killed six elders back then... That internal conflict almost caused our whole clan to be annihilated."
The lady said in a low voice, "First God possessed monstrous talent. The clan would definitely pour in all our resources to cultivate him, there was no way a conflict could have happened..."
The old man nodded. "That's right. This is also why many of our clan members are puzzled, but I am guessing that it is because of a woman.
"My grandfather once told me that First God liked a woman back then, but the clan did not approve of him pursuing that woman... This is probably the reason why the conflict arose, but I don't know what happened in detail. If the conflict had not happened and First God stayed in our clan, we would've been able to annihilate the Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness a long time ago. Even the Primordial Spirit Land would be under our jurisdiction."
Indeed, if First God had stayed in the God Clan, with his terrifying strength, no one would be a match for the God Clan in the entire universe. The God Clan would be the strongest clan in the whole world!
He made some rough estimations in his head and deduced that the power of this sword technique had increased by multiple folds. If he wielded the Qingxuan Sword and activated his bloodline powers, the increase in his strength would be even more terrifying.
He wanted to invite Erya over to test this sword technique, but after thinking about it a little more, he decided not to. He did not want to get beaten up again. Erya was ridiculously strong.
Seemingly thinking of something, he came to an expanse of clouds and saw Ao Qianqian sitting there cross-legged, a powerful aura emanating from her body. Her aura was getting stronger and stronger, causing the sea of clouds all around her to boil.
A smile formed on his face. He could tell that Ao Qianqian was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Erya suddenly appeared beside Ye Guan, and Ye Guan was about to say something when Erya said, "There is a powerful aura inching closer to us."
Ye Guan's expression turned serious. Thousands of meters away from him, spacetime ruptured and a middle-aged man walked out of the rift. It was the Northern Demon King.
Beside him, it was the Northern Sealing Demon General.
Ye Guan's expression became even heavier. He knew that this person was definitely a Demon King from the terrifying aura that he was giving out. The Northern Sealing Demon General's aura could not even compare to it.
He had to leave this Demon King to Erya!
Right as he was thinking of that, Erya appeared beside him, staring at the Northern Demon King calmly.
When the Northern Demon King saw her, he immediately frowned. Before he came, he had already known that there was an Evil Beast that accompanied Ye Guan. He just didn't think that this Evil Beast would have been a little girl, which made him slightly surprised.
The Northern Demon King said, "Hand the notebook over, and I'll give you a more painless death."
Of course the Northern Demon King was not going to let a talent like Ye Guan live. He was not afraid of Ye Guan, but he did not want any trouble either. Since he could resolve this right now, why leave it to after?
Ye Guan took one step backwards and said, "If you can beat my Grandaunt Erya, I'll surrender to you."
If Erya was beaten by the Northern Demon King, then there was truly no longer any point in him fighting anyway.
The Northern Demon King stared at Erya blandly before he asked, "She is the one that's giving you such confidence to act so brazenly?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
The Northern Demon King said calmly, "Then I'll beat her to death right in front of you!"
Then, he suddenly lunged forward and threw a punch out. The heavens and earth were instantly shattered!
Erya was expressionless as she threw out a punch of her own.
Boom!
Instantly, Ye Guan and the Northern Sealing Demon General were knocked backwards by thousands of meters. When they stopped, they looked at the area where Erya and the Northern Demon King were originally standing, and they saw that that area had turned completely pitch-black, yet Erya and the Northern Demon King had not moved by even an inch.
Ye Guan's expression turned solemn. Evidently, he was not ready to go against elites with seventy-percent divinity just yet.
The Northern Demon King stared at Ye Guan with a hint of seriousness in his eyes. He was starting to realize that he had underestimated this little girl.
Erya licked on her candied hawthorn and gave the Northern Demon King an uninterested look as she remarked, "Is this all you've got?"
