"call……"
With the crisis temporarily averted, Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the delegation to evacuate from the Blazing Valley.
Meanwhile, in the borderland imperial city, Emperor Xin stood atop the council hall, surrounded by chaotic human power, his aura already stabilized at the late stage of the Chaotic Universe Realm.
He felt,
The Heavenly Dao fluctuations emanating from the inner domain flashed with a sharp light in his eyes: "Yan Fentian, Qing Mingzi, your conspiracy will not succeed. The land of the borderlands will not be allowed to be touched by anyone!"
Kong Xuan, Yuan Futong, and others gathered below the throne, their expressions excited.
Di Xin's breakthrough greatly enhanced the deterrent power of the borderlands, and with the intervention of the Tian Shu Pavilion, the impending catastrophe was temporarily averted.
But everyone understood that this was only a temporary calm; the ambitions of the inner region's forces had never been extinguished, and an even greater storm was still brewing.
After leaving the Valley of Blazing Flames, the delegation sped towards the borderlands.
Mo Chen knew that the Burning Heaven Palace and the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits would never let the matter rest, and even with the restrictions of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, they would definitely take action in secret.
He ordered Yehen to lead the Shadow Guards on high alert, and at the same time had the accompanying cultivators form a human defense array to guard against any sudden attacks.
When they reached Broken Soul Ridge, the sky suddenly changed. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and a cold wind howled, carrying with it a strong smell of blood.
"careful!"
Yehen suddenly let out a low shout, and the power of shadow instantly spread, enveloping the entire delegation.
The voice has not fallen,
Countless black chains shot out from the dense forests on both sides of the mountain ridge, covered with eerie blue thorns, exuding an aura that corroded the soul.
"It's the Soul-Locking Chains of the Netherworld Palace!"
Mo Chen's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, golden human power transformed into dozens of sharp blades, severing the oncoming chains.
"Youmingzi is indeed impatient, daring to make a move right under the nose of Tian Shu Pavilion!"
In the dense forest,
A black figure slowly emerged; it was none other than Youmingzi, the Lord of the Netherworld Palace.
He was surrounded by countless vengeful phantoms, his aura chilling to the bone: "Mr. Mo Chen, leave behind the Jade Talisman of Tian Shu Pavilion and the Human Dao Rune Chart of the Borderlands, and I can spare your corpses."
"Lord of the Netherworld Palace, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion?"
Mo Chen's expression was cold, and the power of humanity around him grew even stronger: "The Pavilion Master has already given a clear order forbidding internal forces from harming the delegation. Your actions are undoubtedly a blatant defiance of the will of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion!"
Youmingzi laughed loudly, his eyes full of disdain: "Although the restrictions of Tian Shu Pavilion are strong, they cannot control the methods used in the shadows. As long as I kill you and destroy the evidence, who will know that it was me who did it?"
He raised his hand and waved.
Countless vengeful phantoms rushed towards the delegation, their mournful roars enough to disturb the cultivators' souls.
Night Trace's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his shadow power transformed into a giant blade, slashing towards Youmingzi: "If you want to harm Master, you'll have to get past me first!"
The Shadow Blade collided with the phantom of the vengeful spirit, emitting a piercing shriek. The vengeful spirit vanished, and the power of the Shadow Blade was greatly reduced.
Youmingzi sneered.
A ghostly blue aura of death condensed at his fingertips and shot towards Yehen: "You ants of the Shadow Clan, how dare you be so insolent before me!"
The death energy was extremely fast, reaching Yehen in an instant.
Just as Yehen tried to dodge, he found that the space around him was sealed off by Youmingzi's death aura, making it impossible to move. At the critical moment...
Mo Chen's golden human power surged, transforming into a massive shield that blocked Ye Hen's path.
With a deafening roar, the death energy collided with the shield, causing it to tremble violently. Mo Chen groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Youmingzi's strength far surpassed his own, and that the delegation alone could not possibly contend with him.
"Everyone, form the Humanity Formation!"
Mo Chen shouted loudly,
The accompanying cultivators immediately dispersed according to the pre-rehearsed formation, their golden humanistic power intertwining to form a huge light screen that protected the delegation in the center.
The Humanity Array contains the will of billions of living beings in the borderlands. Although it is not enough to defeat Youmingzi, it can barely hold him off.
Upon seeing this, Youmingzi
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect the power of humanity in the borderlands to be so formidable."
Without further hesitation, his deathly aura surged, transforming him into a gigantic Netherworld Serpent that lunged towards the Humanity Array.
The Netherworld Serpent contains the power to destroy divine souls; once struck, the great formation will instantly collapse.
At this critical moment,
A streak of azure sword light shot from the void, moving with lightning speed, and instantly struck the Netherworld Serpent's vital spot.
The Netherworld Serpent let out a mournful roar and vanished into the vast expanse of deathly energy.
"Youmingzi, how dare you disobey the Pavilion Master's orders!"
A clear, cold voice rang out, and a young cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe appeared in mid-air, emanating a faint aura of heavenly power. He was none other than Qing Xuan, the law enforcement elder of the Tian Shu Pavilion.
Youmingzi's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that Tian Shu Pavilion would send an enforcement elder to secretly protect the delegation: "Elder Qingxuan, I was merely exchanging sparring tips with Mr. Mo Chen and had no intention of harming him."
"A friendly spar?"
Qingxuan snorted coldly, his long sword pointing directly at Youmingzi.
"Soul-locking chains, vengeful spirits, and the deathly aura of the underworld—aren't they all deadly methods? If I hadn't arrived in time, the delegation would have been reduced to ashes long ago. According to the rules of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, those who openly defy the prohibitions will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the inner domain!"
Youmingzi was wary, but dared not fight Qingxuan head-on.
The strength of the law enforcement elder of Tian Shu Pavilion is unfathomable, far surpassing that of ordinary peak Chaos Realm cultivators.
He glared fiercely at Mo Chen and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will remember what happened today."
After all,
It transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the dense forest.
With the crisis averted, Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Qing Xuan, saying, "Thank you for your help, Elder Qing Xuan."
Qingxuan waved his hand, his expression calm: "The Pavilion Master had already anticipated that the forces in the inner region would take action in secret, and specifically ordered me to come and escort you. You should return to the borderlands as soon as possible, as the inner region is no longer safe."
He paused and continued, "In addition, the Pavilion Master asked me to tell the Human Emperor that the restrictions of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion can only temporarily restrain the four major forces. They are secretly colluding with forces outside the domain, intending to break the restrictions. The Borderlands need to make preparations as soon as possible."
Mo Chen was startled: "An extraterrestrial force?"
"good."
Qingxuan nodded: "According to the investigation by Tian Shu Pavilion, Burning Heaven Palace and Ten Thousand Spirits Valley have made contact with Demon Flame Valley outside the domain. Demon Flame Valley is skilled in spatial secrets and may be able to find a way to break the domain gate's restrictions. Three months later is the deadline for the domain gate to open, and the four major forces will likely launch a general offensive at that time."
"Thank you for informing me, Elder. I will certainly pass the message on to the Emperor." Mo Chen's expression was solemn; he hadn't expected the situation to be so critical.
Qingxuan said no more, and transformed into a streak of azure sword light, disappearing into the horizon!
Mo Chen dared not delay and immediately led the delegation to speed up their journey, heading towards the borderlands... (End of Chapter)
