Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The old site of the Northern Plains Ice Cloud Tower.

This place is no longer what it used to be.

The former Ice Cloud Tower is gone, leaving only a sinkhole dozens of miles in radius and a solitary ice peak.

"Damn it! That kid named Jun actually dared to kill a Semi-Saint of my sect!"

In front of that isolated ice peak, dozens of people stood in the void, looking at the eight characters formed by human heads on the ice peak, their faces extremely gloomy, their faces bulging with sharp angles!

"That kid named Jun is growing too fast! The longer the time, the harder it will be to deal with him!"

A Semi-Saint from the Holy Gate said coldly, his eyes bursting with anger, his whole person exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Fellow Daoist is right, this person is indeed a monster! He's only been in that secret land for a few months, and now he can kill newly promoted Semi-Saints! His growth rate is simply unbelievable!" The Semi-Saint of the Ancient Phoenix Sect said, pondering slightly, and said: "Now that the world is fully recovering, cultivation is much easier than before. Ordinary martial artists are already like this, and Jun Wuxie, who has great luck, will only have a more terrifying cultivation progress!"

Hearing this, the Semi-Saint of the Kaitian Sword Sect's eyes flickered with a cold light: "This person has already formed a deadly feud with our sects. Now, even if we want to resolve it, it is impossible. For us, the only way is to kill him to eliminate future troubles!"

"If we want to kill him, we need to seize the opportunity! According to the messages hastily sent back by those who died in his hands before their deaths, this person is now only in the Half-Step Saint Realm! However, since he is in the Half-Step Saint Realm, he will soon break through to the Saint Realm. By then, the rules of the Military Saint will no longer be able to restrain Semi-Saints!"

Hearing this, the Semi-Saint of the Holy Gate looked at the Semi-Saint of the Ancient Phoenix Sect and said in a deep voice: "That's what they say, but that Military Saint has repeatedly shown favoritism. It's hard to guarantee that after Jun Wuxie breaks through to the Saint Realm, she won't reappear and set down some rules to restrain our sects!"

"Therefore, we must be quick!" The Semi-Saint of the Ancient Phoenix Sect's mouth curled up in a cruel smile, and said: "We must kill that kid before the Military Saint sets down new rules!"

"That's right, we must seize the opportunity. It seems we have to send someone to infiltrate the Great Zhou Dynasty and keep an eye on that kid's movements. When he breaks through to the Saint Realm, the thunder tribulation he attracts will definitely be significant, so it can't be hidden. In this way, we can determine whether he has broken through to the Saint Realm as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, the Semi-Saint of the Kaitian Sword Sect's face was slightly gloomy, and he continued: "It's just that, after he breaks through to the Saint Realm, if he stays in the Zhuxian Sword Sect for a period of time, we won't have a chance to strike. And the longer the time drags on, the greater the chance that the Military Saint will set down new rules, and the slimmer our chances of killing him will be…"

"Fellow Daoist of the Ancient Phoenix Sect, now only the younger generation of geniuses can take action in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When the time comes, can you send one of your young masters to the Zhuxian Sword Sect, pretending to challenge him, and lure that kid named Jun out?"

"Humph!" The Semi-Saint of the Ancient Phoenix Sect stared coldly at the Semi-Saint of the Holy Gate, and said: "Do you dare to let a young master-level figure of my sect go to be bait for you?"

The Semi-Saint of the Holy Gate smiled sheepishly and said: "Isn't this because I have no other choice? Fellow Daoist, please don't mind. I was just saying it casually, and I definitely don't mean to use your sect's young master as bait."

"You better not." A flash of killing intent flashed in the Semi-Saint's eyes, and said: "Otherwise, I'm afraid my sect's young master will take your head. Your dominant forces are nothing in the eyes of my Ancient Phoenix Sect. You must have self-awareness of your own identity and status, and don't make a mistake!"

"Fellow Daoist is right."

The Semi-Saint of the Holy Gate had a very low posture, with a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with anger.

He was also a Semi-Saint, although he was newly promoted, he was actually warned and threatened like this, how unreasonable!

"I think we should first send someone to the Great Zhou Dynasty to keep an eye on him. As for how to lure that kid named Jun out, we should all think about it carefully while he hasn't broken through yet. At the same time, we should also determine the manpower to take action to kill that kid!"

"Well, let's do that then. As soon as that kid undergoes tribulation, the whole world will be watching him. At that time, in addition to us, the Heavenly Purity Sect, the Soul Hunting Hall, the Ancient Golden City, etc., will definitely send Semi-Saints to kill him. With this power, even if he has heaven-defying means, he will be like an ant, unable to struggle and only able to be crushed to death!"

"Humph, that kid has repeatedly opposed us. This time, we will definitely make him disappear, with no burial place! His life must end here, and no other possibilities will be allowed!"

… …

At the same time, in a secret bronze chamber of the Zhuxian Sword Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Sit down and talk."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the futon in front of him and sat down cross-legged himself.

He was a little curious in his heart. What was the Soul Maiden doing here so mysteriously?

He remembered that when they were in the secret land of the demon clan, she had expressed her willingness to talk to him. It seemed that what she wanted to say should have been planned in her heart for a long time.

"Young Master Jun, I know that you hate the Soul Hunting Hall to the bone, and the Soul Hunting Hall is also determined to obtain your origin and soul. They haven't taken action these days, firstly because they are afraid of the Military Saint, and secondly because they haven't waited for the opportunity…"

"Wait, aren't they you?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her with interest. This woman's series of actions since the secret land of the demon clan were indeed a bit confusing.

"Yes, we still are now, but I hope they will be in the future, not including me."

The Soul Maiden looked at him calmly.

Jun Wuxie looked at her. This woman was using her eyes to express her goodwill of being a friend rather than an enemy, as well as her attitude and determination to leave the Soul Hunting Hall.

"You want to leave the Soul Hunting Hall? How can I believe you?"

Jun Wuxie knew very well what the Soul Hunting Hall meant.

This organization was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Ye Qingxue coming forward to deter them, he would not have been able to grow to this day with just a small martial artist, and he would have become a dead soul under the scythe of the Soul Hunting Hall long ago.

As for the Soul Hunting Hall, his hostility did not only come from the past few years, but from when he was in the Godly Ancient World.

Back then, he was besieged and killed by the strong men of various forces, and fought to the end, his body and soul were shattered and incomplete. The Soul Hunting Hall was one of the masterminds behind this.

As for whether there were other black hands besides the Soul Hunting Hall, he was not sure yet.

Back then, if his mother had not paid a huge price to gather his broken soul, then his broken soul light would have been taken away by the Soul Hunting Hall, and what awaited him would have been endless darkness!

Now, one of the core figures of the Soul Hunting Hall in this world was actually telling him that she wanted to leave the Soul Hunting Hall.

"Does Young Master Jun know about Reincarnators?" Without waiting for him to answer, the Soul Maiden continued: "Nan Huang, who was beaten by you until only his head was left a few days ago, should be a Reincarnator."

Jun Wuxie was a little shocked: "Do you want to tell me that you are also a Reincarnator?"

The Soul Maiden nodded and said: "Yes, I am also a Reincarnator, so the Soul Hunting Hall's means of controlling the souls of its members are ineffective against me. When my previous life's soul awakened a few years ago, I secretly erased the restrictions in my soul. But once you enter the Soul Hunting Hall, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to leave."

Jun Wuxie pondered slightly and said: "Since you are a Reincarnator, why don't you continue to endure? When you become a Semi-Saint in the future, with your strength, even if you directly leave the Soul Hunting Hall, they may not be able to do anything to you."

"Relying on myself, I will only end up dead. Reincarnation is not easy, and I don't want to die like this in my second life. I only have to find a backer for myself and find a pure land to accommodate my body."

"Is the backer you are talking about me?"

"Strictly speaking, it is the Military Saint behind you, as well as the ancestors of your sect. They are all amazing people. Once I leave the Soul Hunting Hall, I will have nowhere to go. The only place that can protect me is your Zhuxian Sword Sect…"

Jun Wuxie shook his head and said: "The most fundamental question is, why should I believe your words? If it's just to help you, I don't mind doing it for the sake of you saving Yunxi. But if you ask to stay in the Zhuxian Sword Sect, it will be like a thorn in my back. How can I be at ease when I am not in the sect?"

The Soul Maiden was silent. She lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.

Then, she seemed to have made a decision, raised her head to look at Jun Wuxie, stretched out her slender hand, and grabbed Jun Wuxie's hand.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look down at her hand.

Her hand was very slender, the shape was very beautiful, the back of her hand was very white, and the skin was very delicate.

However, her palm was very rough, not like a young girl's hand at all.

"Young Master Jun, I, Yue Chenyu, open my sea of consciousness to you. You can freely peep into my life's memories and peep into all the thoughts in my heart."

As she spoke, she pulled Jun Wuxie's hand and pressed it to her brow.

Her eyes met his, calm and indifferent.

"No need, I believe you."

Jun Wuxie pulled his hand back. His soul at the peak of the Semi-Saint realm could be sure that when Yue Chenyu pulled his hand and asked him to peep into her sea of consciousness, her state of mind was very peaceful, without any waves.

This showed that she was not lying, nor was she trying to use this method to retreat in order to advance. She was really willing to open all her secrets to him.

Since he had the answer in his heart, he would naturally not peep into other people's sea of consciousness.

Everyone has their own secrets and many privacies.

He did not have the habit of peeping into other people's secrets and privacies.

"This shouldn't be what you call something that I would be interested in, right?"

Jun Wuxie said this, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep over her palm.

He hadn't paid attention before, but he saw it clearly this time.

Her palms were covered with calluses, thick calluses, which surprised him a little.

"It's very ugly, right?" Yue Chenyu turned her palm over, completely presenting it in front of him, and said: "Did I bump you just now?"

"That's not the case. We cultivators are not ordinary martial artists. We can remove the scars on our bodies at any time, let alone calluses. What's wrong with you?"

"I just feel it's unnecessary. Even if I remove them, after practicing swordsmanship every day, they'll just grow back in a few days. Why bother with this effort? When I've honed my swordsmanship to a level I'm satisfied with, it won't be too late to eliminate these calluses."

As she finished speaking, strands of incredibly swift and sharp sword intent emanated from her body.

Jun Wuxie was inwardly shocked!

The strength of this sword intent, and the feeling of swiftness like light it gave off, was on a completely different level from the strength she had displayed before!

"It seems you've been hiding your true strength all along."

Yue Chenyu didn't deny it, calmly saying in her naturally cold voice, "During the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm, if I had fought you with all my strength, I might not have been able to defeat you, but I definitely wouldn't have been weaker than you. It's just that your growth has exceeded my expectations, and now, I'm no longer your opponent. Also, in the Demon Clan Mystic Land, I could have safely rescued the Holy Maiden Yun Xi, but I couldn't expose my true strength…"

"You are also very strong, there's no need to be discouraged. You are at least much stronger than that self-proclaimed invincible Southern Emperor." Jun Wuxie shook his head and said, "As for the matter of Yun Xi, it was a blessing in disguise. Getting back to the main topic, let's talk about serious matters."

"Alright." Yue Chenyu said, "I came to you not only to express my need for your protection, but also to help you set up a scheme to kill a Half-Sage. I know you've already reached the Half-Step Saint Realm, so you should be about to break through to the Saint Realm, when will you undergo the tribulation?"

"Set up a scheme to kill a Half-Sage?"

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but ponder for a moment, seeming to understand Yue Chenyu's idea.

"Yes, now, you have many enemies, and many Sovereigns and Supreme Sovereigns want to kill you and be done with it. This is an irreconcilable feud, destined to be irreconcilable. Instead of waiting for you to break through to the Saint Realm and have them come to kill you, it's better to take this opportunity to eliminate some of them. As long as the plan goes smoothly, this scheme should be able to harvest the heads of quite a few Half-Sages. Not the kind of newly advanced Half-Sages you killed yesterday, but the old-fashioned Half-Sages."

"Your idea is good, I had this thought a long time ago. Come on, tell me about your plan."

Jun Wuxie's eyes flashed with excitement. He was very clear that all the Half-Sages of the opposing forces were waiting for him to break through to the Saint Realm, at which time they could take action to kill him.

He was never a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.

Since they are waiting for that day, as Yue Chenyu said, it is better to take this opportunity to kill a wave of them!
