Chapter 2501 - 2191: The Sky Demon Sect’s Tiger Luring from the Mountain Strategy

Upon hearing Wei Yang’s words, Pan Rui sneered.

If they waited for a few decades and secured the Ancient Inheritance, it wouldn’t be a loss for them.

But if after decades of waiting, they ended up with nothing and the Ancient Inheritance was seized by other powers, then their decades would be wasted for nothing.

At this moment, Helian Tieshan of Sky Wolf Palace said, "Pan Rui, why the rush? Our Saintess’s fate in the Small World is unknown, yet we’re not in a hurry."

Pan Rui replied, "Saintess? What nonsense about a Saintess? Isn’t she just the Palace Master’s Furnace Cauldron?"

"Does your Palace Master even need another Furnace Cauldron? Even if she dies, your Palace Master won’t feel any heartache."

Unlike other Saint Realm experts, Pan Rui was already advanced in years. He was not willing to be at the Border Wilderness, and with his end drawing near, he wanted to return to Central State and retreat in Wind and Cloud Tower, aiming for a higher Realm.

But Wind and Cloud Tower hadn’t sent anyone to replace him, keeping him at the Border Wilderness, which made Pan Rui very irritated.

Although he was already a Saint Realm expert, those like him, backed by major powers, couldn’t do whatever they wanted. After all, the Emperor Realm experts of Wind and Cloud Tower were no pushovers.

At this time, Pan Rui glanced at Li Shuo of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, then said, "Li Shuo, I heard that your Great Yan’s Princess is also in this relic? Isn’t your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty in the least bit anxious?"

Li Shuo was spacing out at that moment. With over a thousand years of lifespan, he could afford to wait decades.

Furthermore, over time, Li Shuo became less concerned about the Ancient Inheritance.

Right now, what he wanted most was not the Ancient Inheritance, but Lu Chen himself.

Not long ago, Li Shuo had learned about Wu Junwan’s situation through Sun Bai. He found out that Wu Junwan had already married Lu Chen and had a child with him.

According to Sun Bai, their Princess had willingly married Lu Chen; it was all her choice.

This made Li Shuo suspect that Lu Chen might already have obtained the Ancient Inheritance, or perhaps Lu Chen’s talents were far more terrifying than they had imagined.

In fact, upon investigation, they confirmed that Lu Chen’s rise was astonishingly quick. In less than 10 years, he had gone from a commoner to a King Realm expert.

If Lu Chen had not obtained the Ancient Inheritance and still managed to reach the King Realm in such a short time, then his significance might surpass that of the Ancient Inheritance.

Therefore, Li Shuo was considering recruiting Lu Chen into the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, and he had already written to the Great Yan Immortal Emperor and was waiting for a response.

Hearing Pan Rui call his name, Li Shuo snapped back to reality and said, "Precisely because our Princess is in the relic, I dare not act rashly."

"If we recklessly make a move and cause the relic to collapse, wouldn’t our Dynasty’s Princess perish here?"

Listening to what Li Shuo said, Pan Rui grew even more agitated.

All of them just wanted to continue waiting it out like this.

He no longer cared about the inheritances; he just wanted to return and complete his assignment.

Even without the Ancient Inheritance, if the relic collapsed, he could still report back.

Just then, a Great Yan Immortal Dynasty soldier hurriedly came before Li Shuo, knelt down, and said, "My lord, something terrible has happened."

Seeing the soldier’s anxious expression, Li Shuo frowned slightly and immediately asked, "What happened?"

The soldier replied, "Disciples of the Sky Demon Sect are attacking our Dynasty’s occupied city."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo’s expression darkened.

The Sky Demon Sect had always been active in the Border Wilderness, but its disciples typically hid in the shadows and seldom dared to publicly attack the righteous sects.

Why have they suddenly emerged to attack their cities? Could it be that the Sky Demon Sect intends to wage war against the righteous sects?

Or perhaps they have other plans?

Li Shuo didn’t speculate further. By capturing the disciples of the Sky Demon Sect, they would know the sect’s intentions.

He then said to the other Saint Realm experts present, "I have urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."

With those words, Li Shuo led the members of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and turned away from the relic entrance.

After Li Shuo left, the leaders of other factions also wanted to leave quickly, having heard the words of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty soldier.

To prevent an attack from the Sky Demon Sect on their occupied cities, everyone also planned to return to their bases to prepare in advance.

Soon, Pan Rui was the only Saint Realm expert left on the scene.

With a gloomy face, Pan Rui looked at the spinning vortex in the distance. In a fit of anger, he gripped his Longsword tightly, gathered all his spiritual evil, and swung, unleashing a fierce Sword Evil towards the relic entrance.

However, that Sword Evil entered the vortex like a pebble falling into the sea, without causing any ripples.

Seeing this, Pan Rui was unwilling to give up. He summoned more spiritual evil from within and swung his sword again, but even after dozens of strikes, he still didn’t shake the relic entrance.

Pan Rui had no choice but to give up. Clearly, the relic entrance wasn’t something he, alone in the Saint Realm, could break.

Helplessly, Pan Rui took the disciples of Wind and Cloud Tower back to their station.

Not long after Pan Rui left, a massive flying boat emanating black aura flew over from afar, stopping above the Ancient Ruins.

A man covered in demonic patterns stood at the prow of the boat, and said to several old men behind him, "Act immediately and destroy the relic entrance."

Those old men saluted and said, "Yes, Demon Child."

With that, the old men all released their auras, and for a moment, four overwhelming Saint Realm pressures enveloped the entire forest.

Next, the four of them struck simultaneously, sending four black pillars of light shooting towards the relic entrance. Immediately, the ground trembled, and even the entire Border Wilderness felt the power of these four devastating forces.

At this moment, in a certain city cleaning up Evil Martial Artists of the Sky Demon Sect, Li Shuo sensed these four auras. His expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself that this was not good.

Without hesitation, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the relic entrance.

By now, Li Shuo had already grasped the situation.

This was clearly a diversion tactic by the Sky Demon Sect.

The Sky Demon Sect intended to destroy the relic entrance, preventing anyone from obtaining the Ancient Inheritance within it.

Soon enough, the powers from Central State also realized the Sky Demon Sect’s intentions, and all the Saint Realm experts of these factions rushed towards the relic entrance.

Meanwhile, Ye Hanjiang, sensing several Saint Realm auras rapidly approaching the relic entrance, immediately alerted the four Saint Realm Elders of the Sky Demon Sect, "Don’t hold back, finish this quickly."

The four Saint Realm Elders quickly mobilized all the spiritual evil in their bodies and struck the relic entrance again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Their combined powers, upon entering the vortex of the relic entrance, seemed to be swallowed up by the vortex, unable to disturb the black vortex at all.

Seeing this, Ye Hanjiang’s expression turned extremely grim.

Originally, he had intended to destroy the relic entrance to trap Xue Linglong, the Saintess of the Sky Demon Sect, within the relic completely.

By doing so, the next position of Sect Hierarch of the Sky Demon Sect would undoubtedly be his.

But unexpectedly, the relic entrance was so robust that even the four Saint Realm Elders couldn’t destroy it.

With the Central State factions’ Saint Realm experts closing in rapidly, Ye Hanjiang clenched his fists and reluctantly gave the order: "Retreat."
