Chapter 970: Come At Me

Chapter 970: Come At Me

Qiu Baiyi took a step forward. In an instant, he left the Tianxing Divine World and arrived in a vast starry sky.

The starry sky was quiet and was full of dazzling stars. At first glance, it was like an exquisite painting; it was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

Qiu Baiyi looked into the distance and saw a man approaching him.

At first, the man was in the distance, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared right before Qiu Baiyi. The man wore a clean, loose robe and had a gentle smile on his face, giving off an amiable air.

Qiu Baiyi clasped his fists in greeting, smiling. "Greetings, Young Master Shen Ze."

Shen Ze returned the gesture and replied, "Second Hall Master, you're too polite."

"How is Lord Shen Zong?" Qiu Baiyi asked, smiling.

"My father is doing well," Shen Ze replied, "Thank you for your concern."

After pausing for a moment, Shen Ze asked, "Second Hall Master, do you truly have the Scroll of Parting Sorrows, the treasure of the Heaven of Parting Sorrows?"

Qiu Baiyi nodded. "Of course."

He then opened his palm, and a long scroll appeared in his hand. When the scroll appeared, the stars nearby backed away as if they dared not approach the two.

Shen Ze's gaze instantly became fiery, burning like a flame.

The Scroll of Parting Sorrows!

It was a supreme treasure of the Heaven of Parting Sorrows. Long ago, the Heaven of Parting Sorrows faced a great catastrophe, and the scroll was lost.

Since then, the Parting Sorrows Sect had been searching for it but to no avail.

When Qiu Baiyi claimed that he had it, Shen Ze rushed over without delay.

Shen Ze quickly regained his composure.

Qiu Baiyi was surprised to see that.

Shen Ze smiled. "What are your terms, Second Hall Master?"

Qiu Baiyi replied, "I want you to kill someone."

"Who?"

"Ye Guan."

Shen Ze furrowed his brows and asked, "Isn't he the one who caused the commotion in the Ascension World?"

The battle in the Ascension World had stirred up quite a storm, and the Parting Sorrows Sect had caught wind of it. However, since the Parting Sorrows Sect was extremely far away from the Ascension World, the details were unknown to them.

Qiu Baiyi nodded. "Yes, that's him."

Shen Ze asked, "What is his cultivation base?"

"Path Creation."

Shen Ze frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ye Guan... Shen Ze didn't believe that things were that simple. In the Evil Dao Alliance's eyes, a Path Creation Realm expert was no more than an ant, so how come they had decided to seek the help of the Parting Sorrows Sect?

Could this be a trap? Shen Ze mused and glanced at Qiu Baiyi. He was smiling, but a trace of wariness had crept up into his heart.

"Young Master Shen Ze, to be honest, Ye Guan has extraordinary backers, even though his cultivation base is low and his overall strength is weak. The Evil Dao Alliance fears not him but his backers."

Shen Ze solemnly replied, "Second Hall Master, my Parting Sorrows Sect is likely inferior to your Evil Dao Alliance. If even you fear his backers, how could we dare to provoke them?"

Qiu Baiyi didn't push the matter and merely nodded. "I understand."

With that, he put the Scroll of Parting Sorrows away and turned around to leave.

Shen Ze became anxious at that and hurriedly said, "Wait! Do you not have any other terms?"

The Scroll of Parting Sorrows was of immense importance to the Parting Sorrows Sect, as it had a special, extraordinary ability.

Those cultivating the Parting Sorrows Divine Art with that scroll in hand could become severalfold stronger in addition to advancing a realm.

Rumble!

A myriad of powerful auras surged into the sky, chasing after the white-haired middle-aged man.

Prime Minister Mu soon made his way in front of the Tianxing Life Tree. He bowed respectfully and was about to awaken the spirit of the slumbering tree when his pupils constricted.

He turned around, but a sword light was already a few meters away from him.

Prime Minister Mu paled in terror. He clenched his fists, summoning a shield made out of a Tianxing Flame. The moment the shield collided with the sword light, it melted like snow in boiling oil.

The sword pierced Prime Minister Mu's throat.

Sizzle!

Prime Minister Mu's eyes widened in disbelief as he stood frozen in place.

A young man was standing in front of him, and he was none other than Ye Guan.

Prime Minister Mu opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, erasing his soul completely.

He was destroyed in both body and soul!

After obliterating Prime Minister Mu with one sword strike, Ye Guan looked up at the Tianxing Life Tree in front of him. His gaze was cold, and the Qingxuan Sword in his hand trembled slightly.

In the end, Ye Guan chose not to destroy the Tianxing Life Tree. Instead, he stored it in the tiny pagoda.

"Yi Nian, this tree is yours," Ye Guan remarked.

Meanwhile, Yi Nian blinked her big eyes and stared in astonishment at the Tianxing Life Tree that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Outside, Ye Guan turned around and saw a powerful young lady in the distance.

She was none other than High Goddess Tianxuan, and ten terrifying experts dressed in black robes with masks were standing behind her. In addition, the experts of the Tianxing Civilization were making a beeline for the Tianxing Life World.

The Tianxing Life Tree is gone?!

Everyone in the Tianxing Civilization felt like they were in a pot of boiling water; they were agitated and could not calm down at all.

Meanwhile, Qiu Baiyi grinned upon hearing the news, "Young Master Ye is surely ruthless and clever. He's truly remarkable!"

He had deduced that Ye Guan was in the Tianxing Life World, so he sent Prime Minister Mu over there as bait for Ye Guan to kill.

He knew that Ye Guan would surely kill Prime Minister Mu, but Ye Guan's decision to take the Tianxing Life Tree away was truly unexpected.

However, the meaning was unmistakable—Ye Guan had no intention of making peace with the Tianxing Civilization!

He was going to fight them to death!

Qiu Baiyi turned to look outside the hall and laughed boisterously. Young Master Ye! You sure are remarkable and tough!

***

When High Goddess Tianyun heard the news, she put down the book in her hand and remained silent for a long time.

Jing An lowered her head and smiled. The Tianxing Life Tree had ended up in Yi Nian's hands!

The thought of it alone made Jing An's smile grow wider.

***

The experts of the Tianxing civilization rushed to the Tianxing Life World. When they saw that the Tianxing Life Tree was missing, they stopped dead in their tracks as if a lightning bolt had struck them in the head.

Without the Tianxing Life Tree, the Tianxing civilization would face extinction!

The experts of the Tianxing Civilization glared furiously at Ye Guan, wishing that they could tear him apart right there and then.

Ye Guan looked up at those glaring at him with hatred and spread his arms.

"Come at me!" he exclaimed with a smile.

Everyone was flabbergasted.
