"He killed her just because he was passing by and his hands were itching? What a vicious heart!"

"She is the daughter of the Grand Elder of Yunyao Palace, one of the four palaces of my Nanyu Palace, do you know that? Do you know you will suffer retribution?!"

"When you killed her, did you ever think about what would happen today? You too will have your tendons and bones broken? Your heart ripped out?!" The young man roared like thunder.

"Oh? Does young master also want to kill me?"

Lin Xi's bright, clear eyes, like those of a crystal pearl, seemed to scrutinize the young man a few more times.

"Young Master's face looks somewhat familiar... Oh, I remember now, aren't you Li Xiao, the top prodigy of Nanyu Palace who was defeated by Chu Yang at the Northern Spirit Tournament?"

"That duel is still fresh in my memory. Young Master Li Xiao, you couldn't even withstand a single move from my husband. At first, I thought this battle between the leaders of the righteous path would be a wonderful duel, but I never expected it to turn out like this."

"Young master, you have truly broadened my horizons."

"you!......"

Hearing the veiled meaning in Lin Xi's words, Li Xiao's face turned ashen.

It was truly a disgrace to him to lose to Chu Yang at the most prestigious conference in the entire Northern Spirit Region!

"Xiao'er, don't let her stall for time. This witch is full of tricks. The longer we wait, the more likely something unexpected will happen."

At this moment, an elderly man in white robes, who was leading the way, spoke in a booming and authoritative voice.

A hint of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes as he looked at Lin Xi.

The Heart of Immortals and Demons—who would have thought that such a legendary tonic would fall into their hands?

They've been stuck at the Great Emperor realm for tens of thousands of years. With this Immortal Demon Heart, let alone becoming a True Immortal, even ascending to the Immortal Realm would be a piece of cake.

"You think you, the Nanyu Palace, can take me down? You bunch of filthy things, I have someone protecting me."

Lin Xi rubbed her long, slender knuckles and said with a half-smile.

"Hmph, no matter who comes today, they can't save you!"

"If any other demons come, we'll wipe you all out! Attack!"

The white-robed elder snorted coldly and immediately gave the order to lead a dozen or so Great Emperors to surround and intercept Lin Xi.

However, just as everyone was about to touch Lin Xi, a sharp golden light shot out from afar.

The raging power of the crimson sun sent all the Great Emperor realm experts flying hundreds of meters away, their auras unstable!

"Who is it?!"

A murderous glint appeared in the eyes of the Nanyu Palace members as they turned their gazes toward them.

A golden meteor streaked across the sky, transforming into a young man who appeared before them, hovering high in the air.

He was dressed in black, with a resolute face and cold glint in his dark pupils. His tall and slender figure was like a ferocious beast from ancient times, awe-inspiring and savage, giving off a very dangerous aura.

He possesses a sharp, resilient, and ruthless demeanor.

At the same time, he also exuded a mysterious and noble aura, mixed with an obvious bloodthirsty aura, as if he had experienced a bloodbath.

"Chu...Chu Yang?!"

"Chu Yang, the leader of the righteous path?!"

Upon seeing Chu Yang's arrival, not only were the disciples of Nanyu Palace secretly alarmed and took a few steps back, but even the patriarchs at the Great Emperor realm couldn't help but catch their breath, their eyes flashing with apprehension.

Chu Yang possesses the legendary third physique, the Hundred Battles Immortal Body, and his cultivation is close to the Emperor Realm. He is the number one genius of the Northern Spirit Region and the leader of the righteous path.

Not long after Chu Yang joined the Xuanling Sect, he became the undisputed number one. After that, he rose rapidly and easily won the championship at the Northern Spirit Tournament. He was able to stand up to the supreme forces of the Starry Sky Dao Domain without being at a disadvantage. At a young age, he achieved the title of leader of the righteous path.

These are just the simplest rumors about him. Chu Yang possesses the Third Supreme Body and is a disciple of a hegemonic power. Even at this level, fighting beyond one's level is as easy as drinking water.

Some time ago, Chu Yang even killed a True Immortal Realm cultivator without taking any damage!

That incident also drastically changed Chu Yang's personality; she became ruthless and cunning, making countless people wary of her.

Who would have thought this ferocious being would appear here?!

Could the rumors be true?

He came for the witch Lin Xi?

Even if a dozen or so Great Emperors joined forces, they might not be confident of defeating their opponent.

Moreover, crucially, he is backed by the Xuanling Sect, a powerful force that is on par with them.

Upon seeing Chu Yang appear and intercept the group, Lin Xi immediately jumped up and down with joy.

She held her bare hand in front of her, and the head of the person whose long hair she was holding swayed like a swing.

She looked at Chu Yang with a pitiful expression in her bright eyes.

"Husband! They're trying to kidnap me and rip out my heart! They even want to violate me!"

"Teach them a lesson for me!"

His tone was full of resentment and accusation, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Upon hearing this, the group from Nanyu Palace felt a chill run down their spines.

The white-robed elder's face darkened, and he warned Chu Yang, "Chu Yang, are you really going to get entangled with that demonic witch?"

"You are supposed to be the leader of the Northern Spirit Clan, yet you have ties to the demonic path? Could it be that you've joined forces with demons?!"

Chu Yang gave him a cold glance.

"Senior Wuhen, if you're getting old, you should just retire. It'll save you from making a fool of yourself. How did you figure out she was a member of the demonic path?"

The Great Emperor Wuhen's face was gloomy. "She's covered in demonic energy. What proof do you need?!"

"That's not demonic energy at all. The cultivation technique she practices is just blood-colored. There's no need for such slander."

"She was the leader of the Immortal Demon Sect! All the great demons of the Immortal Demon Sect worshipped her as their master; this was something everyone witnessed at the time!"

"It's just that she looks somewhat similar to the leader of the Immortal Demon Sect. Those madmen act recklessly and framed Xi'er. Don't be misled by villains, or you'll be responsible for the consequences," Chu Yang said calmly.

"???"

Even though he had no integrity as the Great Emperor, he could see that Chu Yang was deliberately making things difficult for him.

She just wanted to protect this witch who brought disaster to the country and chaos!

"Chu Yang, you've gone too far!" The emperors of Nanyu Palace were furious.

"Insolence? What will your Nanyu Palace do?" Chu Yang turned his gaze to them, his terrifying aura emanating from him.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the emperors of Nanyu Palace changed.

Although Chu Yang is young, he is not someone to be trifled with.

They have the means and the heart to do so.

This kid is like a vicious wolf. If anyone dares to bite him, he will definitely fight back with his life. That's how he did when he faced the supreme power of the Starry Sky Dao Domain.

If their ancestral patriarch hadn't come, they really wouldn't have dared to fight this guy to the death...

"......"

Hahaha~~

"My husband's words are quite amusing. It seems I'm not a demonic witch today after all."

Hearing Chu Yang and Nan Yu Gong's argument, Lin Xi couldn't help but clutch her stomach, laughing so hard her body trembled.

Chu Yang turned his gaze back to Lin Xi. He first checked her condition and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized she was alright.

But when he saw the dead man's head in Lin Xi's hand, his eyes narrowed.
