Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Everyone followed Jun Wuxie to the Hunter Guild and personally witnessed him killing the Guild Leader and a group of elders.

A Half-Saint of the Hunter Guild awakened, but Jun Wuxie actually took a palm strike from the Half-Saint. Not only did he retreat unscathed, but he also safely brought Qin Zheng and Qin Keqing out with him.

Recalling a few years ago, that young man was just a small martial artist. He became famous throughout the world because his Martial Saint master forcefully killed several Saint Realm experts from the Kaitian Sword Sect.

Now, he is no longer that small martial artist. He can now exchange blows with a Half-Saint based on his own strength!

Thinking of this, people felt it was somewhat unreal.

The young man's growth experience was too dreamlike, like a miracle that fell from the sky.

They were all witnesses to this miracle, step by step witnessing his rise to power, and now he is unstoppable!

"Jun Wuxie is indeed Jun Wuxie, still that undefeated legend..."

The guardian of the Medicine King Sect sighed with emotion. From the moment he started paying attention to that young man, every stage of his growth has been legendary.

Each time, no matter what enemy he faced, even if everyone was not optimistic about him, he could always subvert people's imagination with a strong posture.

Just like today, he seriously injured the Southern Emperor with three punches and faced a Half-Saint head-on with one hand!

Since ancient times, which young man below the Saint Realm could do such a thing?

None! Unprecedented!

"The most correct choice we made in this life was to establish friendship with him for our sect."

"The Great World is cruel. In the torrent of the future, he will eventually become the most solid protector of our sects..."

"Since ancient times, in every golden age, how many dominant forces have been annihilated in the long river of history? It's like a terrifying curse. No dominant force can survive a prosperous age. The old ones are annihilated, and the new ones rise. It seems to have become a law. In this life, it may be changed by one person. Hopefully, when that day comes, his shoulders will be strong enough to support a pure land, allowing us to breathe..."

The guardians of the Medicine King Sect, Demon Phase Sect, and Spirit Control Sect whispered to each other.

...

At this time, in a certain area of the city, two young men looked towards the Jupao Chamber of Commerce with cold eyes.

"This person's luck is too strong, to the point that he has grown to such a level in a short period of time!"

"Cang Ba, what level do you think the master has reached in the legendary realm now?"

"Cang Jiu, the master is unfathomable, not something we can speculate! Let's go, we must pass this message to the master as soon as possible. That ancient path is being repaired at an extremely fast speed. I'm afraid it won't be long before it is completely stabilized!"

"At that time, the master will be able to descend upon this ancient star. The best resources here on this newly revived planet will become the master's possessions!"

"It's a pity that we still haven't found out who the second Son of Destiny on this ancient star is. That person is hiding too deeply. Since that time he kidnapped Xiao Tianming, he has not revealed any trace!"

The two young men talked secretly, gradually walking away, and soon left the city.

...

Inside the Jupao Chamber of Commerce's inner courtyard.

Jun Wuxie, Qin Zheng, and Qin Keqing were sitting around a stone table.

He pondered slightly, and then said: "Senior, why don't you go to Great Zhou in the future? Living in Great Zhou, you can visit Keqing whenever you miss her, and you can also talk to her."

"Can I?"

Qin Zheng looked at Qin Keqing full of anticipation, instead of looking at Jun Wuxie.

Qin Keqing's red lips trembled slightly, but she moved her gaze away and did not respond.

She still had a knot in her heart, annoyed that her grandfather had allowed her to marry the Nan family.

Although she already knew the real reason for the matter, even so, could she be sacrificed?

In order to take revenge, she could sacrifice her life, but she could not accept being treated as a bargaining chip.

"Keqing."

Jun Wuxie gave her a look.

Qin Zheng was still her closest relative, her only close relative.

He knew the entanglement in her heart. If they really never met again in the future, she wouldn't be very happy.

He didn't want her to regret it, so this knot had to be untied. She had to learn to let go and forgive.

Although, when Jun Wuxie thought of Qin Zheng's actions at the beginning, he was also very unhappy with this old man, but who told Keqing to care about this close relative in her heart?

Faced with this situation, the wisest thing for him and Qin Keqing to do was to choose to forgive, otherwise it would only plunge her into contradiction and pain.

Qin Keqing finally nodded, and then added coldly: "But without my consent, you are not allowed to come to the Immortal Execution Sword Sect to find me!"

"Okay, Grandpa will listen to you, listen to you in everything."

Qin Zheng's eyes were red again. Hatred once occupied most of his heart, even ranking above his granddaughter.

But now he understood that the living are the most important. He had already walked out of that dead end.

"Since that's the case, Senior, you can now return to Great Zhou with Keqing!"

"Now?"

Qin Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"Wuxie, why so urgent?"

Qin Keqing didn't want to leave him, and why didn't he go with her?

"I didn't do a good job with the Hunter Guild, and I didn't achieve the expected results! The lineage that harmed your parents and brother didn't pay enough of a price!"

"You want to go to the Hunter Guild again after we leave?" Qin Zheng's face changed, and he sighed: "Now that the Half-Saint Ancestor has awakened, you can't go again, it's too dangerous! Moreover, we have already let go of the matter of revenge. Dozens of key figures have died, and those planners back then have all been executed, so let's just let it go..."

"Wuxie, this matter has already passed in our hearts..."

Qin Keqing didn't want him to take any more risks, and the participants had all died, and the others were not aware of it at the time, so they were innocent.

"Has it really passed?"

He looked at Qin Keqing.

"It has passed." Qin Keqing nodded, meeting his gaze, and said: "Wuxie, let's go now, let's go back to Great Zhou."

Jun Wuxie shook his head and said: "I can't leave yet, I'm waiting for someone here."

"Waiting for who?"

Qin Keqing looked at him suspiciously.

Jun Wuxie smiled and didn't speak. Then he called the chief steward and asked him to arrange a small courtyard for Qin Zheng and Qin Keqing again.

The way Qin Zheng and Qin Keqing looked at him was full of incomprehension.

What Qin Zheng didn't understand was that it would be enough to arrange a separate courtyard for him, so why did he have to let his granddaughter live in another courtyard with him?

What Qin Keqing didn't understand was, why did Jun Wuxie suddenly not want her to live with him here?

Jun Wuxie grabbed her hand and said: "Don't think too much, I have something to do. You and your grandfather can live here in peace. After I finish the matter, I will take you back to Great Zhou."

"If Young Master Jun has any instructions, I will take care of it now." The chief steward saw that it was not good to stay here any longer. Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he heard Jun Wuxie say: "When will the weapons and inner armor that I asked you to refine be ready?"

"It should take several months. The quality is too high, it is not easy to refine, and the quantity is not small. Young Master Jun, don't worry, I will notify you immediately when it is refined."

"Go ahead."

The chief steward left in a hurry.

...

At the same time, Ice Cloud Tower in Beiyuan.

Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan quietly appeared nearby.

They secretly observed for a while.

There are many experts around this Ice Cloud Tower, including seven Half-Saints of the Lesser Heavenly Realm, more than twenty Peak Saint Realm experts, and hundreds of other Saint Realm experts.

These experts are distributed around the Ice Cloud Tower, divided into seven groups, each led by a Half-Saint.

Although the seven groups of people are far apart, with their strength, they are monitoring the entire Ice Cloud Tower. It is difficult for people inside to come out, and once they come out, they will be discovered.

A huge light curtain filled with icy blue light covers the entire Ice Cloud Tower, flashing with ice runes.

"The Ice Cloud Tower's sect-protecting formation is probably the weakest among all the dominant forces, right?"

Ninth Elder shook his head. This kind of formation is only equivalent to a Middle Heavenly Realm Half-Saint level.

After countless years, its power can no longer be compared with when it was formed back then.

Now, even if it is fully activated, it can only reach the power of a Lesser Heavenly Realm killing formation.

"It seems that the Ice Cloud Tower has really not produced many Half-Saints in these hundreds of thousands of years."

Eighth Elder sighed. If the Ice Cloud Tower had produced a few more Half-Saints, and the Half-Saints of each era had injected some power into the formation, the power of this formation would not have fallen by a Heavenly Realm level.

"There are indeed a few Half-Saint auras inside, which should be in the seal, and are extremely unstable, as if something is wrong with their bodies. Little friend Wuxie said that the Ice Cloud Tower's method has flaws and the path is wrong. Now it seems that this may really be the case, otherwise how could their Half-Saints have collective problems?"

"Those people have been besieging but not attacking, constantly putting pressure on the Ice Cloud Tower. They probably don't want to provoke their Half-Saints to fight to the death. Although they have the advantage in numbers, it is hard to say that no one will be dragged down by a Half-Saint who is determined to fight to the death. Fortunately, they are all Lesser Heavenly Realm Half-Saints and cannot detect that there is something wrong with their bodies, otherwise they would have killed them long ago."

"Let's go, act according to Wuxie's plan."

Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder each took out a yellowed ancient talisman.

The ancient talisman slightly lit up with the light of runes in their hands, and their bodies disappeared into thin air.

This is the invisibility talisman passed down from their Xuanyuan Clan since ancient times. It requires extremely deep rune attainments and cultivation reaching the Extremely Heavenly Realm of Half-Saint to refine, so that they can successfully hide in the Middle Heavenly Realm Peak of Half-Saint.

With this talisman in hand, unless a Great Heavenly Realm Half-Saint is present, it is basically impossible to discover them. Even if they walk past those Lesser Heavenly Realm Half-Saints, the other party will not notice them.

The two elders soon arrived at the barrier of the Ice Cloud Tower.

In the area behind them, someone was talking.

"These bitches! They've actually held out until now and still refuse to submit! Waiting any longer will only prolong their pathetic existence. In the end, they'll still serve under our crotches. Just thinking about it makes me unbearable!"

A fifty-year-old man's eyes were filled with lust.

"Hmph, if they refuse to submit, then we'll just have to take them by force! When the time comes, we'll definitely taste the flavors of the Four Jades of Heaven and Earth! Back then, they were the most beautiful women in the Five Provinces. Adding their ice-jade bodies, I wonder how exhilarating that feeling will be!"

Another Peak Saint Realm expert, looking about the same age, chuckled lewdly.

They usually don't indulge in women, but when facing the women of Ice Cloud Tower, they feel an intense desire. The more they think about it, the stronger the desire becomes, burning like wildfire, growing stronger and stronger!

"Hmm? The formation barrier over there seems to have fluctuated!"

Several people who were chatting suddenly revealed puzzled expressions.

The Half-Saint leading them also stared intently at the entrance of Ice Cloud Tower's mountain gate.

Just now, a ripple like a water pattern had appeared on the formation's light screen, but it disappeared in an instant.

The Half-Saint watched for a moment, not noticing any problems, and stopped paying attention.

Those Peak Saint Realm experts continued to chat, filled with lust.

At this moment, the Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder of the Xuanyuan Clan had already arrived in front of the Ice Cloud Tower's main hall.

They had come prepared, not only with invisibility talismans, but also with an ancient artifact. It was one of the treasures passed down within the clan, which could be used to break through formation barriers and conceal their own aura, preventing the formation from detecting their intrusion.

Inside the Ice Cloud Hall, the direct disciples and high-level members of Ice Cloud Tower were gathered, and the Four Jades of Heaven and Earth were also here.

Their faces were grave, their brows furrowed, and their eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Are we really just going to sit here and wait for death? Why not charge out and fight them!"

Someone suggested.

The Heaven Jade Guardian shook her head and sighed. What could they use to fight?

Among those people, there were seven Half-Saints!

Their Ice Cloud Tower only had five Half-Saints, and their bodies were all in bad condition, so they had been sealing themselves, afraid to awaken.

"Guardian, if we continue to wait like this, when the time limit given by those people arrives, they will directly attack. What's the difference between that and sitting here and waiting for death?" An elder with phoenix eyes and a melon-shaped face glanced at the direct disciples and said, "Why don't we concentrate our strength and protect these direct disciples to break through with all our might! As long as they survive, our Ice Cloud Tower will not be considered to have lost its inheritance. If they become strong in the future, they can rebuild the sect!"

"It's useless. That's just sending them to their deaths. Seven Half-Saints, dozens of Peak Saint Realm experts, they have no hope of breaking through…" The Heaven Jade Guardian's eyes were red, and she choked up as she said, "My Ice Cloud Tower has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, I never thought it would end like this…"

"Guardian, we are not afraid of death, we will just fight them to the death!"

"No…" The Heaven Jade Guardian said in a trembling voice, "If the day they attack really comes, you can only commit suicide and destroy your own bodies! Otherwise, even if you die, your chastity will not be preserved…"

As soon as these words came out, many high-level members of Ice Cloud Tower turned pale, and some disciples even began to cry softly.

This was how realistic, yet cruel, their situation was.

In the past, they were always proud of their ice-jade bodies.

Now, their ice-jade bodies had become their nightmare!

"If… if we hadn't offended Young Master Jun in the first place, we wouldn't be in this situation today…"

Someone choked out.

The Four Jades of Heaven and Earth trembled violently upon hearing this, wanting to reprimand the disciple who spoke, their red lips trembling several times, but in the end, they did not make a sound.

"Why? Is the sect leader really not going to care about us? Otherwise, she would definitely have Young Master Jun come to save us, but Young Master Jun hasn't come yet. The sect leader must be heartbroken, heartbroken that we didn't speak up for her in the first place. She used to be so good to us, wuwu…"

A direct disciple squatted on the ground and cried. She didn't want to accept this fate, didn't want to commit suicide and destroy her body, and even more so didn't want to be humiliated by those bad people, but she couldn't change her fate, no one in the sect could change this fate…

Despair, they were incomparably desperate…
