In the cave, "Lin Tianyun" snorted coldly as he perceived the four people's aura. "Hmph! Their noses are surely sharp."
He glanced at his own skeleton and took a storage ring out of its finger. After looking at the content inside, a grin appeared on his face. "Jiejiejie. Thankfully, I am smart enough."
In the next moment, a black robe immediately appeared in his hand, and the robe automatically wrapped around his body. At the same time, a long black sword silently appeared in his hand. The sword trembled slightly, emitting a sinister aura as though it was excited to see its owner once again.
"Long time so see, my friend." Lin Tianyun caressed the sword gently. "These dogs appear so timely. How about we use their blood as our reunion's feast?"
Hong—
The sword let out a sharp cry, trembling excitedly in response. Lin Tianyun grinned and calmly walked toward the entrance.
Outside of the cave, the four old men wore solemn expressions. With the sinister aura that leaked out earlier, they could perceive the Devil Sovereign's strength was no different from the past. It was even slightly better.
"After many years, his strength doesn't regress at all." The azure-robed old man said solemnly.
"Let's spread out. We have to kill him today. Don't let him escape again." The old man with a long sword said.
"What about this lass?" The red-robed old man frowned while looking at Lin Qianxue's figure in the distance.
"Just chase her away." The azure-robed old man said, and a blue lantern appeared in his hand.
Everyone glanced at each other and nodded their heads gently. They were ready to attack the Devil Sovereign.
At this moment, Lin Qianxue's Spiritual Sense spread like a spiderweb. Her mind was occupied by Lin Tianyun's figure. She didn't even know why her profound strength had returned.
The four old men were about to lay a formation. They suddenly looked at each other in astonishment when they perceived Lin Qianxue's Spiritual Sense. Just by her aura alone, they could see Lin Qianxue's profound strength was almost on the same level as theirs… Was she a Divine Moon Palace's elder?
The scholar-looking old man couldn't help asking out. "This maiden, may I know your identity?" He didn't treat her as a junior anymore at this moment.
Lin Qianxue's brows creased together. She obviously knew these old men's identities. They were the renowned powerhouses of the Central Plain… Why would they come to such a remote area?
Before Lin Qianxue could reply, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out. "Hahaha! You old dogs really don't give me time to rest."
The azure-robed old man silently injected his profound energy into the blue lantern, and it began to emit bright blue light to cover the entire mountain range.
"It's been a while, Devil Sovereign." The old man with the sword said coldly as he stared at the cave that was slowly opened.
At this moment, "Lin Tianyun" slowly walked out of the cave in a leisurely manner. A sinister grin could be seen on his lips as he glanced upward to face his old friends.
The four old men were surprised to see Devil Sovereign's appearance. They immediately understood this should be his new vessel.
"You actually harm an innocent man!" The scholar-looking old man said furiously.
Devil Sovereign glanced at him and said mockingly. "Put away your stupid righteousness, Hu Shu. Everyone here knows how hypocritical you are. No need to pretend here."
"No need to talk nonsense with him. Everyone, now!" The azure-robed old man shouted, and a virtual azure dragon immediately shot out of the blue lantern in his hand, rushing toward Devil Sovereign.
"Heh. After so many years, you still use an old trick?" Devil Sovereign sneered. He waved the black sword in his hand and a black crescent-shape blade shot out at the incoming azure dragon.
Bang!
The azure dragon was mercilessly cleaved apart, and the black blade continued moving straight to the azure-robed old man.
"Hmph!" The old man with the long sword snorted coldly and pointed his sword at the black blade. Instantly, a terrifying profound light flashed, and the black blade was utterly broken.
"Marvelous! As expected from the Sword Sovereign, Ji Xu. It seems you're not useless as those three dogs." Devil Sovereign laughed slightly. It was as if he didn't take the old man, Ji Xu, in his eyes.
"Don't be arrogant!" A giant cauldron appeared before the red-robed old man. He quickly tapped on it, and the cauldron quickly rotated at the fastest speed, releasing a horrible crimson flame to surround Devil Sovereign.
Devil Sovereign's eyes narrowed slightly. In the past, the only enemy that inflicted most of the injuries on him was no other than this red-robed old man. He was the powerhouse of the Divine Pill Valley, Hong Cheng.
"Last time, you did a really good job. Now, it's my turn." Devil Sovereign's face turned hideous. The black sword in his hand made a sharp cry, and a terrifying black mist exploded.
Boom!
The black mist collided fiercely with the surrounding crimson flame and completely swallowed it.
The red-robed old man, Hong Chen, was shocked. He hurriedly made another tap on the cauldron to summon more flame clusters. However, Devil Sovereign had already arrived before him.
"Die!" Devil Sovereign shouted loudly and brandished his sword, creating a long black vertical arc.
Bang!
Hong Cheng reacted quickly by moving the cauldron to block the sword. What he didn't expect was his cauldron immediately shattered into pieces when the black sword touched it.
"Go to hell!" Devil Sovereign's figure reappeared behind Hong Cheng like a ghost as he swung his sword, aiming to behead the latter.
"Arrogant!" The scholar-looking old man, Hu Shu, spat coldly, and a giant book abruptly appeared before Devil Sovereign, completely repelling the latter's attack.
Devil Sovereign was sent flying several kilometers and managed to stabilize himself in the air. He looked at Hu Shu gloomily. "Sure enough. Book Mountain's Divine Artifact cannot be underestimated in the slightest."
As he was about to make another move, he suddenly heard a female voice resounded from a distance. "Son…?"
