Nine Regions Sword Emperor

"There's no need to be presumptuous."

Chu Fengmian glanced at the Demon Ancestor and said sternly.

This Demon Ancestor is untamed by demonic nature. His previous battle with General Rongying seemed to have stirred up the demonic nature within him, and now he is becoming increasingly arrogant in his words and actions.

Chu Fengmian came to Dan Valley this time in search of elixirs.

Furthermore, Chu Fengmian had no prior grudges against Dan Valley, and he didn't want to needlessly provoke an enemy like Dan Valley.

Chu Fengmian took action against Elder Baiyang because Elder Baiyang had already defected to Shadow City.

Moreover, with the threat of Shadow City looming ahead, and Dan Valley being a powerful force in the Other Shore Era, Chu Fengmian also wanted to win over Dan Valley to fight against Shadow City.

Under such circumstances, Chu Fengmian would naturally not antagonize Dan Valley.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian's reprimand, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in the Demon Ancestor's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and obediently followed behind Chu Fengmian, playing the role of a servant.

This performance satisfied Chu Fengmian. He needed an obedient Demon Ancestor. If the Demon Ancestor was disobedient, then Chu Fengmian would have no reason to keep him around.

After glancing at the heavily guarded Dan Valley, Chu Fengmian flew directly there, making no attempt to conceal his identity as he swaggered over.

"stop!"

"Dan Valley is sealed off; no one is allowed to enter!"

"Who is coming?"

Just as Chu Fengmian approached Dan Valley, several Dan Valley disciples flew out and blocked his way.

"I am Juejian, and I have come to Dan Valley to meet His Majesty the Pill Emperor."

Chu Fengmian glanced at the disciples of Dan Valley. They were all disciples from the outer valley. Now, even the disciples who cultivated in the outer valley of Dan Valley had been brought out to guard Dan Valley. It seemed that something big had indeed happened.

"Peerless Sword? Peerless Sword Emperor? You are that Peerless Sword Emperor?"

I heard them introduce themselves.

The faces of these Dan Valley disciples showed no respect for a great emperor; instead, they looked at Chu Fengmian with wary eyes, as if facing a formidable enemy. One of the Dan Valley disciples even suddenly crushed a jade talisman.

Such an attitude made Chu Fengmian's gaze sharpen.

As a great emperor, he has now come to Dan Valley by introducing himself. It is only right and proper that Dan Valley should receive him properly. Even if something major has really happened in Dan Valley, someone will definitely come to explain the difficulties and persuade Chu Fengmian to leave.

However, judging from the attitude of these Dan Valley disciples, they regarded Chu Fengmian as an enemy.

The moment the disciple of Dan Valley crushed the jade talisman, countless restrictions within the valley were suddenly awakened. In an instant, beams of light shot straight into the sky, and a massive array slowly condensed above Dan Valley, its power enveloping the entire valley.

This is the protective array of Dan Valley, and it has now been suddenly activated.

Even the area where Chu Fengmian was located was enveloped by the power of this mountain-protecting formation.

The protective array of Dan Valley completely trapped Chu Fengmian, and countless powerful auras were also focused on him, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.

This attitude already indicates that Chu Fengmian is considered a formidable enemy. "Is the Dan Valley's defense so tight really aimed at me?"

Chu Fengmian had only some guesses in his mind, but now seeing the attitude of Dan Valley, he understood that Dan Valley's strict defenses this time were actually aimed at him.

Chu Fengmian's arrival at Dan Valley this time was more like walking headlong into a trap prepared by Dan Valley.

The mountain-protecting formation was activated, and all the experts from Dan Valley came out. This attitude seemed to indicate that they wanted to keep Chu Fengmian in Dan Valley today.

Any great emperor would be terrified at the sight of such a grand display.

However, Chu Fengmian watched all this with a calm expression. He also wanted to see what kind of information the Pill Valley had received that led them to make such a decision.

Since Chu Fengmian dared to come to Dan Valley this time, he was not afraid. Moreover, although such a large-scale operation seemed impressive, in Chu Fengmian's eyes, it was utterly vulnerable. If he were to make a move, he could easily destroy it all.

The Demon Ancestor's expression remained unchanged. The protective array of Dan Valley was on a completely different level compared to the Shadow God Array of Shadow City. To him, a supreme expert, such a formation was no different from children's play.

The two of them stood still, quietly watching the power of the Dan Valley Mountain Protection Array fully activate, without making any move.

The other Dan Valley disciples were also cautiously watching Chu Fengmian, observing his every move, fearing that he might suddenly make a move.

Only when they saw the mountain-protecting formation fully activated did the Dan Valley disciples finally relax a little.

"Is this how Dan Valley treats its guests?"

Chu Fengmian glanced around and spoke calmly.

"Juejian, I never expected you would dare to return to Dan Valley!"

Just after Chu Fengmian finished speaking, several figures walked out of the Pill Valley.

These figures were all dressed in magnificent robes, with extraordinary bearing. They appeared to be high-ranking members of the Pill Valley, including elders from the inner valley, powerful figures from the outer valley, the deputy valley master, and various honored guests.

It can be said that all the top executives of Dan Valley gathered together.

Chu Fengmian looked over and saw several familiar figures, such as Elder Merlin, with whom he had a good relationship, and the two Dan Valley elders he had met before, who were responsible for guarding the inner valley.

Elder Merlin looked at Chu Fengmian with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something, but today, it was not his turn as an inner valley elder to speak.

As for the others, their gazes toward Chu Fengmian were filled with undisguised hostility, and many even harbored murderous intent.

What puzzled Chu Fengmian was that among these high-ranking members of the Pill Valley, he did not see the Pill Emperor, the Valley Master.

Logically speaking, with such a major event occurring in Dan Valley, and all the high-ranking members of Dan Valley gathered together, it would be impossible for the Pill Emperor not to show up and take charge of the overall situation.

Although Chu Fengmian had guessed in his heart that the hostility shown by Dan Valley towards him today was most likely related to Elder Baiyang.

However, Chu Fengmian planned to explain after meeting the Pill Emperor, since it involved Shadow City, and the stronger the martial artist, the easier it would be for Chu Fengmian to explain.

But now, all the high-ranking members of Dan Valley are gathered together, but the Pill Emperor is the only one missing.

Chu Fengmian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the high-ranking members of the Pill Valley before him. He already sensed that something was amiss. (End of Chapter)
