The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

It's Lu Yan too?!
Upon hearing this, the several Grandmasters of the Earth Realm present were all taken aback.

"Is this the same person? It seems they're using the Stone Tablet Ranking as a place to gain experience for improving their cultivation level." A demon king at the Earth Realm said.

The tiger-clan Earth Realm Demon King clearly didn't have so many tricks up his sleeve, and said directly, "I think if they have the strength, there's nothing wrong with doing this."

"If we had the ability to make the list back then, would you and I have missed this opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, the demon kings of the Earth Realm fell silent.

Indeed.

Gazing at the enormous cocoon of light in the plaza, the perceptive Spirit Cat Demon King also noticed something amiss.

The feeling she got from this human cultivator was like an instinctive fear...

As for the demon race's instincts, many demon kings have reached their current level, so how could they not know that this is one of their racial abilities, that they are born with the ability to foresee dangers.

"This human seems... not as simple as he appears."

The thought flashed through the mind of that Spirit Cat Clan Earth Realm Demon King.

Although she was a female demon cultivator, among the arriving demon kings, her cultivation ranked second, only below an ancient snake demon king.

At this moment, the ancient serpent demon king, who had been there since his arrival, had not uttered a single word.

He simply stared at the ball of light, a deep look in his eyes, lost in thought.

Immediately afterwards, more and more streams of light from outside Tianyuan City flew rapidly toward this place.

Among the crowd that arrived later were Qin Qingqing and the old man who was protecting her.

Looking at the massive pillar of light in the center of the square, which shot straight up and almost reached the sky, nearly a hundred meters high, Qin Qingqing's gaze became somewhat unfocused for a moment.

Then, when she clearly saw the first two large characters that appeared, Qin Qingqing was completely certain.

"I knew it...it really was you!"

"Lu Yan!"

At the same time, the Spirit Cat Demon King glanced at the Ancient Snake Demon King not far away, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Why did she feel that this Lord She... seemed to be emanating a murderous aura?

However, the cat demon king didn't say much, but quietly looked at the ball of light in mid-air.

The beam of light lasted for about twenty minutes before it began to slowly dissipate.

The seemingly sturdy stone tablet's defensive shield also slowly weakened at this moment.

Qin Qingqing was still thinking about what she should say later, such as that she had lifted the interception checkpoints in the Sirius Clan's territory.

Now he's become a good person, no... a good demon?

A few minutes later, the light grew fainter, as if the person inside, who was vying for the top spot, was about to emerge.

At this moment, inside the sphere of light, Lu Ye was indeed close to refining the feedback energy from the number one ranked stone tablet.

At the same time, the third of the seven star nodes in the body was finally lit up.

As he lit up, Lu Ye felt as if his strength had increased imperceptibly.

Suddenly, Lu Ye's expression changed.

The commotion in the plaza outside did not escape Lu Ye's perception. Because of his cultivation of spiritual awareness techniques, his spiritual sense was much stronger than that of other Grandmasters in the Earth Realm.

At this moment, Lu Ye actually sensed a faint malice in his senses.

It seems that someone is already there, ready to pounce at any moment.

"Is this... someone trying to attack me?"

Lu Ye frowned slightly and thought for a moment, but couldn't find any enemies he had in Yuanzhou.

However, since the other party had revealed murderous intent... Lu Ye's mind tightened, ready to counterattack the moment the stone tablet's protective barrier shattered.

Minutes later, the shield was incredibly fragile, teetering on the brink of collapse and on the verge of breaking.

Qin Qingqing had also prepared a bunch of excuses, and even wanted to invite Lu Ye to visit the Tianlang Clan.

Just then, the protective shield shattered completely, and a chilling aura suddenly filled the plaza.

This caused many cultivators with low cultivation levels to shudder and show expressions of horror.

"It's so cold!"

"Run! Something's not right..."

Some astute cultivators sensed that something was amiss and immediately abandoned their spectator mentality, rushing outside.

If you keep eating this melon, you might end up dying right here!

Somewhere in the square, the Grandmaster of the Spirit Cat Clan at the Earth Realm revealed a hint of shock.

"She Tianjun, he actually... has actually mastered the power of the domain in its initial stages?!"

Immediately, the Cat Clan Earth Realm Demon King left the plaza and rushed to another location.

Being in someone else's domain, even a rudimentary one, is enough to significantly boost his strength.

The other demon kings from the other realms were also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, She Tianjun of the ancient snake clan actually possessed a trace of domain power.

Now they've actually activated the domain again. What does that mean?
These demon kings felt a chill and quickly distanced themselves as well.

Beside Qin Qingqing, Elder Shan suddenly became very serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Miss, let's go quickly, something's not right here..."

He was only at the ninth level of the mortal realm, which might be considered a top figure elsewhere.

However, in the current situation, there is very little confidence that we can protect Qin Qingqing amidst the unforeseen circumstances.

So, he immediately wanted to take Qin Qingqing away.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Shan?" Qin Qingqing asked, puzzled by Grandpa Shan's solemn expression.

But after asking just one question, he immediately nodded, intending to leave with the other person right away.

Before leaving, Qin Qingqing glanced in the direction of the sphere of light and had a bad feeling.

Could it be that it's aimed at him?

Less than five seconds after Qin Qingqing was led away by Elder Shan, the light barrier shattered completely.

At the same time, an incredibly powerful and chilling force locked onto Lu Ye's newly revealed body.

Lu Ye's gaze also instantly fell on the cold-blooded man with obvious murderous intent.

A faint demonic aura emanated from his body, clearly indicating that he was not a human cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist She, why are you doing this?" Hundreds of meters away, the voice of the Tiger Clan's Earth Realm Grandmaster Demon King boomed like a bell.

Why is it that this sinister old snake is so hostile to the young human at first glance?
"For no reason other than... my ancestors had a precept that if I encounter a certain type of person, I should immediately... kill them without mercy!"

As the last word fell, faint silver scales gradually appeared on the cold, sinister man's body.

The terrifying black aura enveloped Lu Ye directly.

Upon seeing this scene in the square, Youluo's expression immediately changed drastically.

Lu Ye's telepathic message instantly reached You Luo's ears.

"Don't take any action, don't reveal that I know you... You go first, back to the North, I'll come find you then." (End of Chapter)
