I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Unfortunately, the purple light appeared for only a moment, so although some people outside noticed it, they couldn't know what had happened, including Zhang Shen and the powerful figures who gradually arrived here...

Finally, a slender body emerged from the cocoon of light...

At this moment, a true power that was infinitely close to that of the Heavenly Lord slowly spread out from this body.

It's obvious that this person is Huang Quan!

Gradually, the purple light disappeared without a trace, and the fluctuations of true energy on Huang Quan's body gradually stabilized.

Soon after, his gaze swept around the secret room where he was, and then slowly landed on Jueyi, who was also looking at him.

Jueyi felt Huangquan's gaze, and Huangquan felt Jueyi's gaze. Both of them were startled, and then their eyes met inexplicably.

"What are you doing here?" After a moment, Huang Quan came to his senses and spoke slowly.

"You don't need to know how I got here. Do you know how long you've been inside?" Jue Yi pointed to the shattered cocoon of light, answering a completely unrelated question about Huang Quan.

"in?"

Following the direction Jueyi pointed, Huang Quan looked behind him with a hint of doubt.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then a question that even Jue Yi hadn't expected came out of Huang Quan's mouth: "What is this?"

"Hmm?" Jue Yi's doubts rose once again when he heard Huang Quan's tone of knowing nothing.

"What's going on? Doesn't he know anything? That's impossible! Could it be... he's lying to me? No, judging from his appearance, he couldn't possibly lie to me... but what's going on here?" Thinking about this, Jueyi was also a little confused.

However, his thoughts suddenly changed the moment he saw the purple sword floating above Huang Quan's head.

"Never mind, if his strength can be improved, then that's an opportunity for him! The important thing... is still that thing."

Just as Jueyi was pondering, the Emperor Sword suddenly seemed to lose its support. The purple light surrounding the Emperor Sword disappeared completely, and the appearance of the Emperor Sword was officially revealed in front of them.

Its entire surface is purple, seemingly without a single impurity. It is about 1.5 meters long and about 6 to 7 centimeters wide. On the front of this jade, there is a character that neither Huang Quan nor Jue Yi can understand.

Judging from its appearance alone, it exudes a gentle aura that calms the mind, which fully demonstrates its extraordinary nature!

At this moment, the Emperor Sword landed directly in Huang Quan's hand, and Huang Quan quickly put it away as soon as it was in his grasp. Therefore, Jue Yi's gaze truly fell upon Huang Quan.

To be precise, it should actually fall into the hands of Huang Quan, which shows his obsession with the Emperor Sword.

In fact, Jueyi was right, and Huangquan was not lying either.

All of this was due to the first patriarch of the Imperial Sword Clan.

Because when the light cocoon was formed, Huang Quan didn't even realize it before being drawn into it. His consciousness wasn't clear after entering the light cocoon, so he didn't know about it.

"Boy, I don't care what happened to you here, but you promised me, so now you should hand over the Emperor Sword to me!" At this moment, he seemed to be talking to Huang Quan, but his gaze was fixed on the Emperor Sword without any attempt to hide it, and the greed in his eyes was equally undisguised.

Seeing Jueyi's fiery gaze, Huang Quan immediately felt a wave of disgust.

Then, another idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"He's injured, so he's definitely not at full strength, while I'm at the peak of my power right now. If it comes to a fight, do I even have a chance to win?"

Although Huang Quan thought this, he said flatteringly, "Senior, you promised to tell me how to leave this secret chamber. Given your status and cultivation, I think even if my strength has improved, you wouldn't take a small fry like me seriously, so..."

"Of course, if you want to take it by force, there's not much I can do, but I think I should be able to damage it a little, right?"

Huang Quan stopped talking at the end, but even so, Jue Yi understood that Huang Quan meant two main things.

First, you must take me out of here before I can give you the Emperor's Sword.

Second, if you are too strong, I will simply perish together with the Emperor Sword.

"What a clever lad, actually threatening this old man instead." Thinking of this, Jue Yi narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Seeing Jue Yi deep in thought, Huang Quan didn't interrupt. Instead, he thought to himself, "This old guy isn't so easily fooled. Should I hand over the Emperor Sword or not?"

At this moment, Huang Quan unconsciously tightened his grip on the Emperor Sword. In a sense, Huang Quan was not afraid that Jue Yi would go back on his word, since the Emperor Sword was still the bargaining chip in his hands.

"Boy, how dare you threaten me? Don't you know that doing so will put you in great danger?" At this moment, Jue Yi's somewhat forceful voice also reached Huang Quan's ears.

The powerful aura emanating from him, belonging to the mid-stage Heavenly Monarch realm, was intentionally or unintentionally directed towards Huang Quan.

However, unexpectedly, just as Jueyi's aura was about to crush Huang Quan, the fragments of light cocoons behind Huang Quan suddenly began to move on their own.

In an instant, they combined into an object that blocked the path to the underworld.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a purple light shield, which also helped him block the powerful aura released by Jueyi.

"What?" Jueyi was also startled by the sudden change.

Chapter 209 Unexpected Changes

In fact, not only Jueyi, but even Huang Quan himself was somewhat at a loss.

"Uh? This is..." At this moment, the light shield composed of light cocoon fragments, after blocking Jueyi's aura, directly transformed into an ordinary mini necklace ornament, which was hung around Huang Quan's neck.

But Huang Quan knew very well that this seemingly ordinary decoration could actually block the Heavenly Monarch's aura attack.

After this scene ended, Huang Quan came to his senses and laughed again, "Hehe... Senior, you flatter me. I think you are a smart man and should understand what I mean. After all, there are some things that I have no choice but to do!"

Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Jue Yi paused for a moment before replying, "I know what you're thinking. Since I've agreed to your request, I will naturally tell you the way out... However, if you try to play any tricks, you know the consequences yourself..."

"Heh! Senior is right! As long as Senior can take me out, I will naturally hand over the Emperor Sword." Huang Quan ignored Jue Yi's domineering attitude and said calmly.

"Alright, come with me!" Jue said expressionlessly. It seemed that Huang Quan's words had made this powerful Heavenly Lord lose face.

Every now and then, he would turn around without hesitation and walk briskly toward the exit of the secret room.

Just as Huang Quan was about to follow, his expression changed slightly, as if he had sensed something, and his gaze suddenly turned to a stone wall behind him.

"Hmm?" Huang Quan asked with a hint of doubt, but he didn't think much of it. After calming down, he stopped paying attention to it.

So soon, the secret room became completely quiet.

……

Emperor Sword Town.

In fact, this town did not always exist. It was built by Emperor Sword Village a year ago to accommodate guests attending the wedding ceremony. Although the town has everything that the outside world should have, its system is not very mature, so there are very few places to have fun. Only one restaurant is lively.

This restaurant is called Emperor Sword Restaurant, and it is known by the Emperor Sword Clan as the number one restaurant in the Emperor Sword Clan. Indeed, it is the only restaurant in the entire town, the entire Emperor Sword Clan, and the entire Ice Plains Cave Heaven. So it is naturally the number one restaurant.

On this day, four people came to the restaurant.

Two men and two women.

An elderly man in a black robe and a young man in a red robe.

A woman in a long dress, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and a young girl in white, only twenty-nine years old.

Soon after, the young man in the red robe and the woman in the long dress went into a room alone, leaving the old man in the black robe and the girl in white outside. It seemed that the two of them had some secret matters to discuss.

inside the room.

The man in the red robe sat on a wooden bed, his eyes never leaving the woman in the long dress, who stood by the window, her beautiful gaze fixed on the street below.

"Among the four clans, only the Emperor Sword Clan possesses the Tree of Time. They have guarded the Tree of Time for countless years. Even during the great war, they risked the extermination of their entire clan to frantically take the Tree of Time away..."

“So he couldn’t possibly be unaware that the other three races have been eyeing the Tree of Time. And yet, under these circumstances, he still summoned the three races and the Heavenly Monarchs on the continent. It seems he must have some unspeakable secret…” the red-robed man said softly, his tone full of certainty.

“That being said, we don’t know what he’s up to! So we can only wait,” the woman in the long dress replied.

“Waiting is fine, but I don’t want to be stabbed in the back. So I think we can form a temporary alliance, what do you think?” the man in red robes suggested.

"Oh? Yan Tian... you actually want to form an alliance with me?" The woman in the long dress seemed a little incredulous upon hearing his words.

"Why not? I'm not stupid. There are so many unknown changes right now, and cultivators from the Heavenly Monarch realm are arriving here one after another. So naturally, I have to protect myself as much as possible! Otherwise, if something really happens, wouldn't I be in a terrible situation?" the red-robed man said matter-of-factly.

His words made the woman in the long dress ponder for a moment before her beautiful eyes flickered and she murmured, "So that's why you came to find me, isn't it?"

“That’s right! The Bamboo Sky Clan and the Emperor Sword Clan are close, and I know those unknown Heavenly Lords, so no matter what, your Dao Spirit Clan is the best ally…” The red-robed man did not deny it and replied directly, “Of course, the most crucial thing is… what do you think?”

The woman in the long dress frowned upon hearing this.

……

Beyond the icy cave, beside an invisible barrier.

After the woman in the green robe entered the Icefield Cave, at noon that day, a girl dressed in black with pigtails also arrived at this place.

There was no suspense; she was the black-clad girl who met Huang Quan, and now the Black Nether Venerable of the Imperial Demon Domain.

"Tsk tsk tsk! The Emperor Sword Clan truly lives up to its name. Such a powerful barrier, even I would need some time to break through it, right?"

"But it doesn't matter, I'm not here to fight anyway." The girl in black said nonchalantly as she took the bronze token and walked into the Icefield Sky Tower.

"I just don't know... whether trouble will deliberately come knocking on my door? Heh..."

These were the last words spoken by the girl in black, but sadly, they vanished in the blink of an eye amidst the frost and snow of the icy plains.

……

Deep within the Imperial Sword Clan's cemetery.

Inside a passageway, three figures were slowly walking forward.

"Is this passage really the exit?" One of the figures surveyed the dark and quiet place and asked the person walking in front in a calm tone.

“My father has no reason to lie to you. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you don’t have to come with us.” A delicate voice replied irritably, full of dissatisfaction.

“I didn’t say I didn’t believe it… it’s just that so much time has passed…”

"Alright, Ye'er, Brother Zheng didn't mean that... don't you think?" At this moment, the last slightly aged voice also rang out. He interrupted the other person, scolded him, and then turned his gaze to that person.

"Hmm..." He sighed helplessly, then said nothing more and continued walking forward.

The three people here are naturally Huang Quan and the Zhang family father and daughter.

After some preparation, they were now walking in the direction of the exit indicated by Jueyi, but before long they arrived at this dark passage and seemed to have encountered some trouble.

They had been walking for almost two days, but the place was still pitch black, with no sign of an exit. This naturally puzzled Huang Quan. However, when he saw Jue Yi's expression, which showed no sign of urgency and seemed to have known this would happen, he did not completely doubt it. Instead, he became more vigilant and continued walking forward with some skepticism.

After all, he didn't know the way here, and now he had no choice but to follow the powerful figure in front of him.

But he had already decided in his heart that if anything happened, he would deal with it in the way he had planned. Even if the result was not good, he would not let the other party gain any advantage. The worst case scenario was that he would perish together with the Emperor Sword.

Of course, this is a last resort, and he would never use it unless absolutely necessary.

Squeak!

A strange sound rang out, and Huang Quan suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring intently ahead. Then he slowly lowered his head, as if some thoughts were forming in his mind.

"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Jueyi's voice reached Huang Quan's ears again, who was deep in thought. However, this time his voice was very clear and pleasant, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling. But this voice also disrupted Huang Quan's thoughts.
