Chapter 565: Chapter 563: Sinful Dragon Clan

Ye Rou also complained, "This is cheating! Didn’t the Sixth Young Venerable and the Nascent Soul Ancestors already make a deal? The Holy Mountain was only supposed to send one person, but now they’re openly breaking the agreement. How shameless!"

Xuanyuan Qingyi said, "The Holy Mountain Master has likely awakened from his long seclusion. I’m afraid the Six Paths Illusion Realm is about to see a major upheaval. If the Purple Jade Map falls into the hands of the Holy Mountain, it would be better for it to fall into Jiang Jichen’s hands."

Ye Rou agreed wholeheartedly. "Qingyi, it’s rare for us to see eye to eye on something."

Only then did Xuanyuan Qingyi remember. ’If Jiang Jichen gets the Purple Jade Map, doesn’t that mean I’ll have to be the one to pursue him and beg him to marry me?’

She hadn’t thought much about it at the time, but the realization was only just hitting her now.

The thought made Xuanyuan Qingyi blush.

But she quickly recovered and said, "Let’s just say the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Envoys aren’t even here. Even if it were just the Eighteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain, Jiang Jichen couldn’t possibly get the Purple Jade Map. So, it’s absolutely impossible. Ye Rou, you can stop dreaming."

"Nothing is ever certain. Who knows?"

Ye Rou smiled knowingly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen’s gaze also fell upon the peak where the three Holy Mountain Envoys stood. He could sense the terrifying power emanating from them.

It was as if each of them held a sun within their bodies, containing a scorching and immense power.

It wasn’t just Jiang Jichen; everyone else was also staring at the three Holy Mountain Envoys, their gazes filled with deep apprehension.

When it came to the power structure of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, the Sixth Young Venerable and the Nascent Soul Ancestors were undoubtedly the most powerful entities at the peak.

But the existence that transcended even that peak, becoming truly supreme, was undoubtedly the Holy Mountain!

The Holy Mountain’s forces were already supreme and invincible, yet now they were intervening in worldly affairs. Who could possibly oppose them?

"Our Mountain Master has made it clear: the Purple Jade Map must not be lost. Anyone who dares to vie with us for it is an enemy of the Holy Mountain. They will be killed!"

The Eighteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain spoke, his voice mechanical and indifferent.

His single sentence overflowed with boundless killing intent.

Those with weaker wills felt as if his words had plunged them into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

’What terrifying killing intent. I can’t imagine how much blood is on his hands for his words alone to carry such a monstrous murderous aura!’

The crowd was shaken, their expressions turning incomparably grim.

Only the Peak Masters remained unfazed, their expressions unchanged and completely unaffected by the killing intent.

"The Holy Mountain is a transcendent power. For them to interfere in worldly affairs... it’s too tyrannical."

"I, for one, would like to see for myself if the rumors are true—that when the Holy Mountain walks the earth, they are unrivaled in the Six Paths!"

No one could have imagined that the first person to speak out would be the mysterious masked woman.

In an instant, all eyes were on her.

After all, the Purple Jade Map was still just bobbing within the Sky Pit; it hadn’t truly shot out yet.

But the mysterious masked woman had already declared war on the Holy Mountain Envoys.

This scene, of course, took everyone by surprise and left them all in shock.

"Such audacity! To dare oppose the Holy Mountain? I hereby pronounce your death!"

The three Holy Mountain Envoys fixed their gazes on the mysterious masked woman, issuing their arrogant proclamation from on high.

He spoke of sentencing another to death as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

Moreover, the Jade Token at one of the envoys’ waists suddenly began to glow, pointing directly at Jiang Jichen.

"There’s a wanted fugitive from the Heavenly Dao Realm here? As a Holy Envoy, I am naturally obligated to kill such people on sight. Jiang Jichen, I hereby pronounce your death."

The Sixteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain declared this with cold indifference.

He was high and mighty, as if judging all living beings, deciding the fate of others with a single word.

Jiang Jichen hadn’t expected a Holy Envoy to target him directly. He couldn’t help but sneer. "I was under the impression that fugitives from the Heavenly Dao Realm were a matter for the Law Enforcement Hall. I didn’t realize the Holy Mountain concerned itself with such things!"

"Fine. To that beautiful and mysterious lady over there: when it comes to slaying Holy Envoys, count me in."

"Even if I don’t get the Purple Jade Map, I will slay these three today!"

"My fate is mine to control, not the heavens’. And yet you act as if you are greater than the heavens, presuming to pass judgment on my life."

Jiang Jichen’s words were incredibly aggressive. He was even more audacious than the mysterious masked woman, openly declaring his intent to slay the Holy Envoys.

The people of the Six Paths Illusion Realm watched this scene on Six Paths Peak, shocked into silence.

"Jiang Jichen, from the Mortal World, entered the Six Paths Illusion Realm less than a year ago, and he’s already at the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm!"

When the crowd learned this information about Jiang Jichen’s background, they were even more dumbfounded.

"I don’t know where he gets the confidence to make such an arrogant claim."

"Indeed. Every one of the other Peak Masters has an astonishingly deep foundation. But him? Even the people with him are newcomers to the Six Paths Illusion Realm, here for less than a year."

"I admit he’s a genius, but challenging a Holy Envoy like this is just suicide!"

...

The mysterious masked woman was one thing—no one could see through her, so for the moment, no one dared to make a definitive judgment.

But as for Jiang Jichen, both he and his followers were newcomers to the Six Paths Illusion Realm. Everyone knew their background inside and out.

They had no foundation or resources in the Dao Illusion Realm; no matter how strong they were, there was a limit.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the mysterious masked woman was momentarily stunned.

"You?"

Finally, the mysterious masked woman collected herself and replied coolly.

Jiang Jichen felt a strange sense of familiarity from this mysterious masked woman.

Of course, there was no way he could recognize her.

Being looked down on by a woman stung Jiang Jichen’s pride.

But Jiang Jichen didn’t let it show in the slightest, smiling arrogantly. "A mere three junior envoys. What’s so hard about killing them? As for you, miss, you only dare to ’test’ their strength. Clearly, you’re nothing special either!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s dismissive words, the mysterious masked woman actually grew agitated.

She gave a cold laugh. "Then watch me go and kill them!"

As she spoke, she had already leaped from her peak, soaring gracefully toward the Three Saint Envoys to attack.

"Courting death!"

The three Holy Envoys had, of course, overheard the conversation between Jiang Jichen and the mysterious masked woman.

They couldn’t believe that in the eyes of these two, the three of them had become targets to be slaughtered at will.

This filled their hearts with murderous rage.

At that moment, the Eighteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain shot forward to meet the mysterious masked woman.

The two hovered in mid-air as a great battle erupted between them.

"Intent of Yunshui, Heaven and Earth turn ethereal!"

the mysterious masked woman cried out.

Her pair of jade-like hands became a blur of motion.

Instantly, the space between heaven and earth filled with ethereal clouds and water, which condensed into a path of concentrated killing energy that converged on the Holy Envoy, seeking to trap and kill him.

Faced with such an attack, even the Eighteenth Envoy of the Holy Mountain’s expression shifted, and he began to look serious.

"This person is from the Sinful Dragon Clan of the Mortal World! They should be exterminated!"

However, while the mysterious masked woman was fighting one of the Holy Mountain Envoys, the other two suddenly charged her from the flanks, intent on killing her.

The three Holy Envoys were incredibly powerful. In that instant, the mysterious masked woman was plunged into a life-or-death crisis.

Her four elderly attendants had no time to come to her rescue.
