The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Changsun Youyou wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and the voice of the Spirit Immortal echoed in Qin Yangjun's mind.

Fortunately, the spirit immortal sensed the danger and injected her divine soul power into Changsun Youyou's body; otherwise, this attack would have severely injured her.

Shadow Asura in mid-air frowned. He had only made his move after he saw that Qin Yangjun's spiritual power was exhausted, but he did not expect that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The fact that someone at the Nascent Soul stage could block his eye technique was truly unexpected.

"you wanna die!!"

The phantom of the crimson phoenix in mid-air roared angrily, and with a sudden flap of its wings, a hurricane of flames surged toward Shadow Asura like a tidal wave.

Shadow Asura's heart sank slightly. He clasped his hands together abruptly, and a huge black trench coat appeared in the sky, enveloping everything around him.

At the same time, it blocked the fiery hurricane.

Yan Huang's expression darkened slightly.

"The Shadow Ghost Robe... I never thought he actually succeeded in forging it. How many innocent people's blood must be stained on it?"

This Shadow Ghost Robe is a ninth-grade magic weapon, but its crafting requires a blood sacrifice, and the infusion of spirit into the weapon requires a human soul. In short, it is an extremely insidious magic weapon.

At that moment, the voice of Shadow Asura came from within the Shadow Ghost Robe.

"Senior, there's no need for such formality! As the guardian of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom, you should be protecting its people. This Qin Yangjun is merely an outsider and not worth your time. If you hand him over to me, our Asura Palace will surely present you with a generous gift!"

Shadow Asura never expected that a mere test would provoke such a strong reaction from Crimson Phoenix.

Legend has it that the Crimson Phoenix signed a contract with the ancestor of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom to protect the country and its people.

Therefore, she probably wouldn't protect the people outside of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom, because that would be a thankless and arduous task.

As an eternal being in the upper realm, having experienced life and death, there should be no such thing as compassion or pity for humanity.

But what's going on now?

However, Chi Feng simply snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You dare to make a move in front of me? You really don't take me seriously!"

Suddenly, the crimson phoenix spread its wings, and a loud phoenix cry resounded through the sky. Fire rain fell from the sky, and the entire sky was instantly transformed into a fiery domain.

In an instant, the Shadow Ghost Robe turned to ashes, and the Spirit Devouring Crow that hovered around the Soul Devouring Roc turned to ashes the moment it touched a bit of the flame.

In the blink of an eye, the countless Spirit-Devouring Crows were burned to ashes, and ashes rained down from the sky above the imperial city.

This scene made Shadow Asura's heart bleed. He had spent a lot of resources to cultivate these Spirit Devouring Crows, and now they had all turned to ashes in a single encounter. How could he accept this?

However, after killing those Spirit-Devouring Crows, Chi Feng showed no intention of stopping.

The flames transformed into streaks of fiery feathers that attacked Shadow Asura.

Shadow Asura formed hand seals, and black doors rose up in the sky, surrounding him.

However, in just a moment, the door was breached by the fiery feather. The feather pierced through and instantly ignited the dark door, causing Shadow Asura's expression to change drastically.

"The Fiery Avenue?!"

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred. Just as the feather was about to hit Shadow Asura, a large white bone goblet suddenly appeared in the sky. The goblet expanded instantly and absorbed all the feathers.

"He's just an outsider, why must you wage such a large-scale war, fellow Daoist?"

A calm voice rang out in the sky, followed by a black wind that swept across the heavens, and a blood-red lotus flower burning with black flames appeared in the sky.

In the center of the flames appeared a white-haired man wearing a demon mask. The man was dressed in a black robe with his chest open, and stood with his hands behind his back on the lotus platform.

The moment the man appeared, an immense pressure spread out, and the black wind seemed to carry the cries of countless vengeful spirits. In an instant, those people seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood appear behind the man.

Upon seeing the man, Yan Huang's expression changed drastically.

"Futu Yang?!"

However, this was not the end. With the appearance of the crimson lotus platform, two more auras appeared.

Amidst swirling green poisonous mist, a throne of bones appeared, with a figure clad in green armor residing within it.

On the other side was a solid darkness, with only a pair of eyes visible within it. Around those eyes, it seemed as if countless other eyes were flashing, both illusory and real.

Meanwhile, countless cultivators in the imperial city witnessed this scene.

"The Life-Devouring Demon Lotus!! That's the legendary Life-Devouring Demon Lotus, which can kill a cultivator at the first stage of the Tribulation with just a single leaf."

"The person on that lotus platform must be the Asura King. I didn't expect him to actually come!"

"The bone throne beside him is the mount of the Poison Asura. And that dark mass... don't look at it! That's the Nightmare Asura. It's said that he cultivates an extremely peculiar evil art. If a cultivator's cultivation level is not high enough, just looking at him will easily cause them to develop inner demons."

"What on earth is going on... Apart from the Blood Asura who was severely injured by Fairy Yaoyang's sword, the Asura King and the three great Asuras have all arrived. Could it be that the Asura Palace really wants to start a war with the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom?!"

"........."

Chapter Seventeen: Standoff

As one terrifying being after another descended from the Asura Palace, martial law was imposed in the imperial city, all shops, large and small, were closed, and a large number of mortals fled the imperial city.

The cultivators on the street also sensed the danger and turned to leave.

Given the current situation, a fight is very likely to break out. If they stay here any longer, they might get caught in the crossfire and lose their lives.

However, now that the Asura Palace has sent people, the experts of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom will naturally not just stand by and watch.

As soon as Fu Tu Yang and his men appeared, two streaks of light pierced the sky and rushed into the palace.

"Heh, Fu Tu Yang, you're not qualified to address Lord Chi Feng as a fellow Daoist..."

With a soft laugh, an old Taoist priest in white robes, holding a whisk and sitting on a crane, appeared in everyone's sight.

The other beam of light transformed into a burly man covered in blood, clad in armor, and wielding a halberd.

Even at this moment, the two did not forget their manners and bowed to Emperor Yan.

"Your Majesty has been frightened!"

"Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me!"

Even as the situation became increasingly tense, Emperor Yan maintained the composure befitting a ruler of a nation, and said softly:

"Grand Tutor and Lord Wu'an need not do this; you have come at just the right time."

The two sides began to confront each other.

The old Taoist priest in white robes had an otherworldly air about him, exuding an aura of transcendence. With his appearance, the evil thoughts brought by the Nightmare Asura seemed to be suppressed.

Behind the burly man, a city made of spiritual energy rose up, with countless illusory soldiers standing ready for battle within it.

"A bunch of rats, how dare they run wild in our imperial city! They're asking for it!"

The burly man stared intently at the Poisonous Asura, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Futu Yang! Before my patience runs out, I advise you to get lost!"

At that moment, a fierce shout came from the depths of the palace, and a ball of flame appeared in the air, which then transformed into a dignified middle-aged man.

The moment this middle-aged man appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy began to become frenzied.

This person was none other than the patriarch of the Yan Kingdom.

At the same time, Yan Huang also gripped the token under his sleeve.

This is the token to activate their imperial grand formation—the Nine Heavens Divine Fire Grand Formation...

However, Yan Huang did not want things to escalate to this point. If the great formation were activated, the situation would become uncontrollable.

He did not want to start a war that would benefit neither side.

To be honest, Yan Huang didn't expect things to turn out this way. What was originally just an ordinary martial arts competition has now turned into a confrontation between the two top powers in the Eastern Continent.

On the training ground, Qin Yangjun looked at the powerful figures in the sky, then glanced at Sha Yang, who was enveloped by the Blood Spirit Insects, and narrowed his eyes.

He then took out a recovery pill and silently swallowed it.

At the same time, he whispered a few words in Changsun Youyou's ear.

Changsun Youyou was taken aback at first, and glanced at Sha Yang before nodding slightly.

Since everyone's attention was focused on the air, almost no one noticed the two people's movements.

Looking at the group of powerful figures from the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom, Fu Tu Yang's expression turned gloomy and somewhat somber.

Blood Asura is in trouble now, and the people of Holy Spirit Mountain somehow found out about it.

Although they had tried their best to suppress the news, it still leaked out due to the vigorous dissemination by Holy Spirit Mountain, and it wouldn't be long before the matter became common knowledge.

If Shadow Asura were to also encounter misfortune at this time, then the Asura Palace's deterrent power would be gone.

At that time, the Asura Palace will be in grave danger in the Eastern Continent. You must know that these forces in the Eastern Continent are ruthless and predatory.

Going to war with them on the territory of the Divine Radiance Flame Kingdom is certainly not a wise decision.

His original intention was only to protect Shadow Shura, and he never expected things to escalate like this.

And most importantly, he still doesn't understand why things have escalated to this point!

"What on earth is going on?! Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?!"

Fu Tu Yang finally couldn't hold back any longer and angrily rebuked Ying Xiuluo through telepathy.

Shadow Asura, of course, dared not hide anything and recounted what had just happened in simple words.

"Qin Yangjun!! Mu Xianxian's younger brother?"

Upon hearing these three words, Fu Tu Yang was also somewhat unsettled, and his gaze immediately turned to Qin Yang Jun below.

Upon noticing Fu Tu Yang's gaze, Qin Yang Jun showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and raised his hand, gesturing as if to greet Fu Tu Yang.

Tsk!

The calmer Qin Yangjun remained, the more displeased Fu Tu Yang became with him.

Everyone knows that Mu Xianxian has a beloved child.

The conflict between the Asura Palace and the Imperial Qian Sect has now reached a point where it is essentially irreconcilable.

However, if we could capture Qin Yangjun and use him as leverage, we might be able to resolve the troubles that Mu Xianxian has faced since arriving in Dongzhou.

But this situation is really tricky. Even he isn't confident he can capture Qin Yangjun in front of so many powerful figures...

Thinking of this, Fu Tu Yang sighed. Now is not the time to dwell on these things.
