Chapter 496 - 491: Demon Court

Back then, Qu Qingfeng accepting Ji Xue as a disciple was also due to a coincidence, in fact, it was because of Li Fan.

However, Ji Xue strived hard, and after Li Fan left, she devoted herself to the Dao, with a famous mentor, she eventually succeeded, achieving the Condensed Core Realm in Jiangzhou, becoming a great cultivator.

Both she and Su Luobai are now influential figures in Jiangzhou, the two are quite suited.

At this moment, Qu Qingfeng seemed to sense something, he looked up towards the distance, a hint of strange color appeared between his brows.

What’s going on?

A surge of aura flowed through Qu Qingfeng’s body, a phantom shadow emerged from his body, soaring into the sky, seemingly a journey outside the primordial spirit.

"Teacher!"

Ji Xue noticed the anomaly, then also looked up, in the distant sky, a very oppressive aura seemed to be spreading, making her feel a sense of dread.

"A top-level great cultivator is coming to Yun Meng City," Su Luobai said next to her.

Ji Xue’s eyes were heavy, having experienced the battle when a great demon entered the city from Yun Meng Swamp, she felt the battle aura of a Seven Realms great cultivator, the momentum sweeping from afar now made her somewhat afraid.

This power could easily destroy Yun Meng City.

"Buzz..."

An invisible ripple emanated from Qu Qingfeng’s body, his eyes glinting with brilliance.

"Xiao Fan."

He murmured quietly, stood tall, took a step, and rose into the air, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Ji Xue was momentarily stunned to hear Qu Qingfeng’s whisper.

She looked up in amazement towards the distance, her eyes showing hesitation, but she too traveled through the air, heading towards the direction where the terrifying aura spread.

Although that aura was incredibly fast, she still wanted to follow and see.

The Xiao Fan that Qu Qingfeng mentioned, who else could it be but him?

"Ji Xue." Su Luobai sped up to follow, calling out, "The aura is extremely strong, and behind it are many other auras. If such a level of great cultivator breaks into battle, we cannot withstand it."

"You don’t need to follow,"

Ji Xue looked back at Su Luobai and said, Su Luobai, not knowing the reason, watched Ji Xue’s decisive back, a flicker of hesitation in her eyes, then also hurriedly moved forward.

"What happened?"

Figures from Bai Lu Academy broke through the air, the elders of the academy flew into the air, and many cultivators in Yun Meng City looked toward the distance, seemingly sensing some presence.

"Is that the direction of Yun Meng Swamp?"

Many cultivators looked toward the distance and said.

In the high sky, Li Fan looked out into the distance and said softly, "Here we are."

He planned to place the battleground in the endless forest of Yun Meng Swamp, where the vast and boundless land, sparsely inhabited, could avoid harming the innocent.

The giant sword hovered, and Li Fan and his companions stopped advancing.

"This place is not bad," Shi Dao Ren glanced at the boundless Demon Beast Forest below, those who were supposed to come had arrived.

"Boom..."

In different locations above the sky, authoritative figures descended, and the terrifying demon energy swept through the world, Li Fan standing on the giant sword, glanced at the figures that appeared, it was the people of the Demon Race who arrived first.

It seems they are determined to obtain the demon within his body.

Forcibly retreating from the capital, the Demon Race might have always stationed demons waiting for him to leave the capital.

"Green Emperor Sect?"

Li Fan looked at the demon race cultivators, he still didn’t know the division of the Demon Race’s power, but since the Demon Race could rival human cultivators, the power hidden within the Great Li World must be incredibly strong.

The White-robed Demon that appeared in the capital in the past was also present, and although he was repelled by Ye Changge that day, now this White-robed Demon was no longer the leader of the demon race, standing beside a young scholar-like figure, who looked no different from a human, with fair skin and a stern face, yet the eyes conveyed a sense of extreme danger.

And on his other side stood a figure in black clothes.

"Today, where will you escape?"

The demon-like eyes of the White-robed Demon stared at Li Fan, he stepped forward, and immediately, blood-colored demon energy swept across the sky, a boundlessly huge demon shadow appeared in the air, the Great Snake Demon.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sky, clear moments ago, transformed into a world of blood, endless blood-colored lightning raged.

"What is that?"

In the distant Yun Meng City, countless cultivators looked up towards the distant sky, as if seeing a Demon God appear.

"Ji Xue, you can’t go any further," Su Luobai shouted in response to the destructive power he sensed, causing Ji Xue to stop, staring ahead with her chest heaving.

"Is it to hunt him down?"

Her eyes showed worry, why would such a terrifying great demon hunt him down.

"Mudfish, just you few demons from your race?" The clouds in the sky surged, instantly turning red, an extremely scorching airflow enveloped a thousand miles.

In the high sky, a figure stepped forward, behind him a boundless Dharma Form hovered in the sky, bathed in the brilliance of the blazing sun, clad in armor and holding the Sun God Spear.

"Is that a Heavenly God?"

The cultivators of Yun Meng City had never seen such a spectacle, their hearts pounding wildly.

"Who are you?" The white-robed demon stared at the emerging figure and asked.

"Mo Zhantian." The newcomer replied loudly; it was indeed the Sun Palace Master from the West Sea.

Li Fan looked toward the newcomer and said, "Thank you, Senior, for coming to assist."

"That Da Li Court actually called forth the Demon Race; it’s becoming more and more outrageous," Mo Zhantian said, as the West Sea had also been ravaged by the Demon Race.

"Minding others’ business." A chilling voice echoed as the black-clad demon also stepped forward. A dragon’s roar manifested in the heavens, a pitch-black demon dragon soared into the skies, its enormous eyes exuding a cold killing intent. The black-clad man floated before the demon dragon.

"Boom..."

Scorching solar flames descended, and a divine brilliance arrived. A muffled sound echoed in the sky, and a figure bathed in the light of the blazing sun appeared, bearing a similar aura to Mo Zhantian.

"Master."

"Senior Brother..."

Lu Yuan and Li Fan each called out, the newcomer was Mo Yang from Li Mountain, also originating from the Sun Palace.

"You’ve come," Mo Zhantian smiled at Mo Yang, "Your cultivation has grown stronger."

"After so many years, it was due for a breakthrough," Mo Yang replied.

"Very well, who would have thought you and I, uncle and nephew, would have the chance to fight side by side," Mo Zhantian laughed heartily, as Mo Yang seldom returned to the Sun Palace since he went to Li Mountain to cultivate.

"People from Li Mountain are also here."

The leading demon cultivator glanced at Mo Yang, "Well, new grudges along with old ones can be settled together."

"Buzz..."

The silhouette of the young scholar disappeared from the spot, and almost at the same moment, Shi Dao Ren’s body vanished, moving faster than the eye could catch.

"Crash!"

A wildly fierce killing storm swept out, Shi Dao Ren’s figure was quick to retreat back onto the giant sword. The young scholar did not move, as gold and silver killing lights flowed around him like streams in the high sky.

The white-robed demon and the black-clad demon gave Shi Dao Ren a cold glance; the young scholar was the Guardian Demon Venerable of the Green Emperor Sect, one of the twelve Great Demon Venerables of the Demon Race.

Since the outbreak of a great battle years ago, the Demon Race hadn’t entered the human cultivation world, instead growing and expanding the Demon Court. The humans likely had forgotten about them.

Capturing this human cultivator was the order given by the Demon Court, and no one could stop it.

"Kill."

The Daoist robe on Shi Dao Ren fluttered as he fixed his gaze on the young scholar opposite him; from the previous strike, he felt an extremely strong way of slaughter.

Li Fan was also stunned; Shi Dao Ren was ranked fourth on the Sword Saint List, the fourth Sword Dao of the Great Li World. Even when considering Qi Cultivators and Martial Arts Practitioners, he was still among the strongest cultivators of Da Li. However, he was surprisingly repelled by this demon cultivator.

"Hand him over to me, and I won’t kill you."

The young scholar’s eyes, eerie and ethereal, subtly glowed with a golden light of slaughter, with increasingly potent killing aura flowing around him.

"Hiding in dark corners for so long, your Demon Race finally dared to come out. Back then, why were you like rats crossing the street, afraid of Li Mountain’s wrath?"

Shi Dao Ren said with a smile; back then, Li Mountain had entered the era of two Saints, akin to a bright moon in the sky. In that era, regardless of the Demon Race or several major human forces, all were heavily wary.

"Seeking death."

The young scholar replied coldly, Shi Dao Ren stood tall, and the Sword Aura on him soared to the sky, seemingly piercing the sky.

"This old Daoist has not stretched his bones for a long time."

Suspended in the air, Shi Dao Ren’s humped body at this moment appeared lofty and grand, surrounded by countless Sword Intents.

"Daoist friend, what say you I take care of this demon?"

A voice came from afar, and Sword Intent surged like mountains and seas. Shi Dao Ren looked up and saw a graceful figure stepping into the myriad Sword Intents.

White Jade City, Taibai Sword.

Nowadays, Taibai Sword ranked fifth on the Sword Saint List, neighboring each other in ranking.

"In the human cultivation realm, how could the Demon Race be allowed to run rampant?" Taibai Sword embodied overwhelming Sword Intent, casting down at the young scholar. Shi Dao Ren laughed loudly and said, "If Brother Taibai has such enthusiasm, the old Daoist naturally lets you achieve your wish."

With that, he retracted his Sword Intent and transmitted a message to Li Fan: "White Jade City is helping you; make sure to remember this favor."

"Mm."

Li Fan nodded quietly, understanding the underlying intention.

Currently, they faced not only major demon beings from the Demon Race but also many top human cultivators. Taibai Sword, unable to confront the court’s great cultivators openly, dealing with the major demons of the Demon Race, allowed Shi Dao Ren to free his hand indirectly aiding him.

Li Fan had a very good impression of White Jade City when he first entered.

White Jade City in the heavens is indeed worthy of its name.

"Everyone, come out now, stop hiding."

Shi Dao Ren spoke loudly, and figures emerged, parting the clouds to reveal their true forms.
