"Not much meaning, it’s simple. We came to this world today just to protect one person."
As Yunmo Baitian’s words fell, suddenly, countless powerful figures all raised their eyes abruptly, each shocked to the core.
A sworn enemy of the Sword Saint blinked rapidly and couldn’t help but step forward, his eyes contracting infinitely as he asked, "Protect one person? Who?"
Yunmo Baitian smiled slightly in response and then gradually looked up, saying lightly, "Whoever you want to kill, we’ll protect that person."
Boom——!!!
With these words, all the cultivators across the Divine Sword Sect territory suddenly looked up, especially Ning Xianyi, Luo Qingxian, Ye Xiaotian, Wang Changsheng, Jian Wushuang, Mo Shiyi, Lin Changkong, Ye Xiaojiang, Ke Zhenling, Li Mofeng, Li Chiyao, Ouyang Qijue, and Yao Xifeng.
For a moment, countless cultivators familiar with that silhouette were extremely horrified, clearly realizing that the entire realm of the Demon Realm had mobilized just for the young man on South Peak.
Not only were Luo Qingxian and others shocked and dismayed, but even the powerful figures within the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region had their expressions change drastically.
At some moment.
Suddenly.
"Traitor, as a disciple of the Righteous Orthodox Sects, how dare you submit to the command of the Demon Realm? Betraying your master and ancestors, a sin unforgivable."
"Traitor, you should be torn to pieces."
"Falling into the Demon Dao, intolerable by heaven and earth!"
Countless powerful figures of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range pointed their fingers at the youth atop South Peak, their voices shaking the skies.
The news of the Sword Saint’s disciple being abducted by the demoness of the Demon Realm had long spread across the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, making countless cultivators terrified, fearing that the Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul might defect to the Demon Realm.
If such a world-shattering forbidden prodigy were to defect, it would be a cataclysmic disaster.
However, the cultivators of this world were not fools. Those who spoke up were all sworn enemies of the Sword Saint, clearly intending to classify him as an enemy of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, thus inciting even greater murderous intent.
Sure enough, when a sworn enemy of the Sword Saint spoke, countless powerful figures who were originally just onlookers or did not intend to get involved suddenly burst out with terrifying auras, a glint of killing intent flashing in their eyes.
Moreover, an uproar stirred among the billions of cultivators.
"Ye Xiaofan has joined the Demon Realm?"
"Damn it, isn’t he a Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul? How can he defect to the Demon Realm?"
"If he joins the ranks of the Demon Realm, he’ll become the future source of disaster for our Righteous Dao. We mustn’t let him fall into the Demon Dao."
"Fellow seniors, kill him, quickly kill him."
Countless cultivators of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range were suddenly terrified, instantly realizing the seriousness of the situation.
At the peak of Divine Sword Peak.
When Luo Qingxian and others heard Yunmo Baitian’s words, it was as if a blow struck their hearts; the very thing they feared most had finally happened.
In Luo Qingxian’s beautiful eyes, a hint of disappointment spread. The person she once fought desperately to protect had ultimately become a part of the Demon Realm.
Even Wang Changsheng, Jian Wushuang, and others showed complex expressions.
However, just after the few powerful figures finished speaking, Yunmo Baitian’s voice rose again, and what the Demon Realm’s foremost figure said next was like lightning, instantly stirring a huge wave.
"I think you misunderstood. We are indeed here to protect, but...."
Yunmo Baitian said this, and then slowly gazed at the peak of South Peak before murmuring, "But it’s not that the young lord has joined the Demon Realm. Rather, from now on, our Demon Realm is under his command, and everyone in the Demon Realm will follow his orders unquestioningly."
Rumble——!!!
Yunmo Baitian’s words immediately exploded in the hearts of billions of cultivators, shaking the minds of all familiar silhouettes.
At that moment, even Yunmo Xi looked up in shock, blankly staring at his father, unable to believe what he was hearing.
Yet, just as everyone suspected they had misheard, the head figure of the Demon Realm emphasized it once again. This time, it seemed more like he was speaking to the young man on South Peak rather than the billions of cultivators of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range.
"From now on, everyone in our Demon Realm will follow the young lord’s orders, with the saints of the Demon Realm willing to use the power of the entire realm to follow him."
Boom!
Yunmo Baitian’s words once again struck everyone’s hearts like thunder, making the hearts of billions of cultivators tremble violently for a moment, as if their Dao Hearts had been fiercely shaken.
"Father?"
At the peak of South Peak, Yunmo Xi quietly observed the scene, her beautiful eyes already filled with endless astonishment.
The whole Demon Realm henceforth following that silhouette was an earth-shattering decision, definitely not something the Celestial Demon would declare on a whim. It must have been the unified conclusion of all of the powerful figures in the Demon Realm.
Sure enough, after the Celestial Demon finished speaking, the entire Demonic Realm fell silent, none of the powerful figures refuted.
No refutation means acquiescence!
Suddenly.
Rustle——!!!
Countless cultivators suddenly rose to their feet, staring blankly at the peak of Cangqiong, their hearts in turmoil and beyond words.
Especially the Ning family, the Star Moon City faction, the entire Heavy Sword Peak, the entire Array Peak, and countless familiar figures, all struck as if by lightning.
Atop Divine Sword Peak, whether Ning Xianyi or Luo Qingxian, or the high-ranking members of Divine Sword Sect, they all shuddered as if hearing the news of the world’s end, completely stunned on the spot.
Inside the Divine Sword Sect’s patriarchal gate.
Jian Wushuang, Wang Changsheng, Ke Zhenling, Lin Changkong, Mo Shiyi, and Yao Xifeng were all shocked into looking up, their eyes full of towering waves.
And outside the patriarchal gate of the Divine Sword Sect, amidst the vast sea of people.
Ye Wuyuan, Shangguan Fu, Nangong Linyun, Ye Xiaojiang, Li Chiyao, Ouyang Qijue, and others were equally thunderstruck, their eyes filled with disbelief at an unprecedented level.
The entire Demon Realm henceforth following the other side, and its entire cultivators taking orders; what a terrifying occurrence.
This was something no one could accept, something utterly unbelievable, yet completely true.
However, among the billions of cultivators who received this news, the only ones who seemed to understand were that astonishing silhouette standing on the peak of South Peak and the elder beside him.
It wasn’t surprising that the Demon Realm saints would make such a decision; first of all, Ye Xiaofan was the only one capable of purifying the Demon Tree, effectively binding him to the destiny of the Demon Realm. For endless ages to come, the realm would rely on him for its "lifespan."
Furthermore, although the saints of the Demon Realm were now formidable figures, and the realm itself fearsome enough to contend with the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, pledging the realm’s allegiance to an ancient forbidden prodigy who awakened a Sixth Grade Forbidden Martial Soul was no hardship for them.
Today, that silhouette might not be very powerful, but what about hundreds of years later? Thousands of years later? Even after ten thousand years? With such ancient potential, it’s certainly a massive boon for the Demon Realm.
Clearly, figures like Yunmo Baitian, who had reached such realms, had incredibly far-sighted vision, looking at the situation in endless ages to come.
Today, the Demon Realm pledging its allegiance isn’t for the current Self-Slaying Realm junior.
It’s for this ancient figure hundreds or even thousands of years later, a figure who should have belonged to the Hundred Sects of the Hundred Broken Mountain Range, but due to their predicament, has now become a benefit to the Demon Realm.
On the contrary, Yunmo Baitian and others were somewhat worried, worried that the youth on South Peak wouldn’t accept the Demon Realm’s allegiance.
But this news fell like thunder in the ears of billions of cultivators, like lightning on a clear day.
The entire Demon Realm following the commands of the Sword Saint’s disciple, does that not mean that silhouette now has the capital to contend with the entire Hundred Broken Mountain Range?
