Chapter 587: Chapter 585: Garbage from the Holy Mountain

Xuanyuan Qingyi!

How could the Ten Great Elders and Six Great Saint Envoys of the Holy Mountain not know of the Mortal World’s prodigy, a talent seen only once in ten thousand generations?

’But could she have come here to help Jiang Jichen?’

It wasn’t just Xuanyuan Qingyi; Ye Rou was with her!

Just then, Ye Rou floated down to Jiang Jichen’s side and said with a wide grin, "Jiang Jichen, look! That’s Xuanyuan Qingyi, who’s about to lose her bet."

However, Jiang Jichen’s gaze didn’t land on Xuanyuan Qingyi first. Instead, he sized up Ye Rou and said admiringly, "Ye Rou, you’ve gotten even more beautiful!"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Ye Rou laughed happily. "Jiang Jichen, you’re such a sweet-talker. But the real beauty is over there."

Only then did Jiang Jichen turn his gaze to Xuanyuan Qingyi.

This woman was truly a stunning beauty.

Jiang Jichen had heard she was known as the greatest beauty of both the Mortal World and the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Not only that, but she was the Mortal World’s prodigy, a talent seen once in ten thousand generations, and her cultivation was truly astonishing.

"I’m not sure what Miss Qingyi losing her bet has to do with me. Don’t tell me she has to marry me now?"

Jiang Jichen tossed out the joke casually.

His words, however, made both Ye Rou and Xuanyuan Qingyi freeze for a moment.

’How could his casual joke be so accurate?’

However, Xuanyuan Qingyi replied coolly, "In your dreams. Let’s see you survive this first."

"With Miss Qingyi here, what’s there to fear from this trash from the Holy Mountain!"

"As long as Miss Qingyi can hold off that old geezer, I’ll take care of the rest!"

Jiang Jichen declared brazenly.

With Ye Rou present, Jiang Jichen could tell at a glance that Xuanyuan Qingyi was here to help him.

With such a powerful ally, what did Jiang Jichen have to fear?

And with two peerless beauties in front of him, he naturally had to put on a show.

"Easy for you to say. Why don’t you hold off the old geezer, and this Princess will take care of the rest!"

Xuanyuan Qingyi had no desire to face the Nascent Soul Ancestor either, so she retorted.

At this, the expressions of the Holy Mountain’s Ten Great Elders and Six Great Saint Envoys turned ugly.

When had they ever been treated with such contempt?

The might of the Holy Mountain was inviolable!

Ordinarily, they would have attacked by now.

But now, they held back.

They restrained themselves because of Xuanyuan Qingyi; they were all wary of her.

"Xuanyuan Qingyi, are you determined to make an enemy of the Holy Mountain? Aren’t you afraid of bringing annihilation upon the Human Realm in the Six Paths Illusion Realm?"

The First Holy Envoy spoke coldly.

"The Human Realm? Do you think that if I stand down, you’ll stop your plans to carve up the Human Realm?"

"Besides, my actions here today represent myself alone. My life and death have nothing to do with the Xuanyuan Clan. If you still insist on destroying the Human Realm after this, that’s none of my business. I couldn’t care less whether you destroy it or not!"

"But don’t think your Heavenly Dao Realm and your Holy Mountain will remain high and mighty forever. A day will come when you fall to dust."

Far from being threatened, Xuanyuan Qingyi’s response was incredibly assertive.

"You..."

They never expected Xuanyuan Qingyi to be so audacious.

What they truly couldn’t fathom was that she didn’t seem to care at all about the destruction of the Human Realm.

’According to what they knew, didn’t the Xuanyuan Clan always consider it their duty to protect the Human Race?’

’So how had they produced an outlier like Xuanyuan Qingyi?’

The people from the Holy Mountain were rendered speechless by Xuanyuan Qingyi’s retort.

"Brilliant! Princess Qingyi is absolutely right! I agree so strongly I’d raise my hands and feet to vote yes."

"Take me, for instance. I’ve made it my personal mission to conquer the Holy Mountain. A person of great ambition like Princess Qingyi should join my cause."

Jiang Jichen used his silver tongue to persuade Xuanyuan Qingyi to join his organization.

Xuanyuan Qingyi smiled at Jiang Jichen and asked seriously, "If I were to join the Luochen Sect, what position would you give me?"

"Vice Sect Leader!"

Jiang Jichen replied without a moment’s hesitation.

"But I’ve heard the founding story of the Luochen Sect... ’Luochen Fairy, Luochen Sect; who dares say Lingchen did not love the Fairy!’"

"If I become the Vice Sect Leader, what position will your Luochen Fairy take when she returns?"

Xuanyuan Qingyi continued.

Anyone else would have been flustered at this point.

But Jiang Jichen was not just anyone. He replied coolly, "She’ll be my wife, of course!"

"Fine, I accept. I can be the Vice Sect Leader of the Luochen Sect, but my status and authority must be equal to yours."

"There will be no hierarchy between us. If you agree to that, I will join the Luochen Sect."

This time, Xuanyuan Qingyi spoke with the utmost seriousness, not a hint of a joke in her tone.

Ye Rou piped up from the side, "Not fair! I want to be a Vice Sect Leader, too! My status can’t be any lower than Xuanyuan Qingyi’s."

Jiang Jichen pondered for a moment before saying, "Mm, with Ye Rou’s abilities, it’s no problem for you to be a Vice Sect Leader as well."

In truth, as long as he could conquer the Holy Mountain, Jiang Jichen couldn’t care less how many Vice Sect Leaders he had.

He wouldn’t even mind giving up his own position as Sect Leader.

’After all, if he gave up the Sect Leader position, he’d just become the Supreme Mountain Gate.’

’Hmph, that would only make his prestige even greater!’

The people from the Holy Mountain watched as Xuanyuan Qingyi, completely unswayed by their threats, joined the Luochen Sect right in front of their eyes, officially becoming their enemy.

"Excellent. Xuanyuan Qingyi, since you’ve made your choice, we no longer have to hold back."

"We have recorded this entire scene. Even if we kill you, the Xuanyuan Clan will have nothing to say."

A Holy Mountain Elder spoke with a grim expression.

But Jiang Jichen’s response was even more forceful and domineering. "Qingyi is the Vice Sect Leader of my Luochen Sect. Do you think you can kill her just because you feel like it? Am I, the Sect Leader, just a decoration?"

"Qingyi, Ye Rou, hold off the old geezer for a moment. I’ll take care of this bunch of trash from the Holy Mountain first, then I’ll team up with you to finish him off!"

Jiang Jichen announced directly.

"How dare you!"

"You’re courting death!"

"You don’t know what’s good for you!"

The Holy Mountain’s Ten Great Elders and Six Saint Envoys roared in fury and charged forward to kill.

But Jiang Jichen was faster.

A Seven-Colored Spiritual Light swirled endlessly around him as Undying Power coursed through his body.

At the same time, he swept forward with both the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array and the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment.

"Watch out! That’s his Dao of Ultimate Killing! Don’t try to block it head-on!"

The Six Saint Envoys, having witnessed the power of the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array and the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment before, cried out in alarm.

But just then, a Jade Talisman appeared in the hands of each of the Ten Great Elders. They threw them into the air in unison.

In an instant, a curtain of Holy Light descended from the sky, enveloping them completely.

"The Radiance of the Holy Light! Its defense is invincible!"

Xuanyuan Qingyi and Ye Rou retreated to Jiang Jichen’s side, their expressions turning grave as they spoke.

They were shocked that to kill Jiang Jichen, the Holy Mountain had not only dispatched some of its hidden reserves, the Ten Great Elders.

They had even used the Holy Mountain Jade Talismans.

This was a defensive Secret Talisman capable of withstanding an attack from a true Saint.

It was one of the Holy Mountain’s greatest trump cards, and it was anything but ordinary.
