He originally had feelings for the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue, but now, seeing her mingling with Chen Xiao, he felt extremely displeased and gazed coldly at Chen Xiao.

He warned him, yet this kid still dared to get close?

The Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue said lightly, "We already have an alliance, but thank you for your good intentions."

"I see, Xuantian Sect does have the qualification to be an ally with our two Ancient Royal Clans, but this kid..." Situ Ao’s gaze was indifferent, "Does he deserve it?!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan directly retorted, "What do you mean by ’we’? When did we want to ally with you? Moreover, our current alliance is led by Chen Xiao! What are you anyway? Just a lackey from the Great Shang Imperial Family, right?"

Led by Chen Xiao?

Hearing this, Situ Ao’s eyelids twitched, "Is Xuantian Sect and the Great Zhou Imperial Family out of their minds to form an alliance with someone of low cultivation and even have him lead it! If word gets out, we might become a laughingstock!"

"None of your business!" Zi Yuan coldly retorted.

Situ Ao’s face turned red with anger, but he was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince of the Great Shang Imperial Family, Shang Tianque, finally spoke up with a smile, "Xuantian Sect and the Great Zhou Imperial Family are not insignificant forces, they have the qualification to stand alongside our Great Shang Imperial Family in battle; by joining our alliance, we become friends."

"But if we are not in the same camp, when fighting for opportunities, we will be enemies!"

"I hope Lady Zi Yuan and the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue consider this well, wouldn’t it be better to have more strong friends than opponents?"

"Our Great Shang Imperial Family has over a dozen strong cultivators here, are we not superior to a mere kid?"

He spoke, his disdainful gaze scanning Chen Xiao like a knife.

Chen Xiao squinted slightly, smiling calmly, "Perhaps not."

Shang Tianque sneered, "Lady Zi Yuan, Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue, I assure you that our Great Shang Imperial Family is the strongest presence among all forces entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm now!"

"Allying with us won’t be a loss, but opposing us might not end well!"

"I hope you’ll decide cautiously."

His words carried a strong sense of threat.

The Great Shang Emperor Clan, with just their own camp, retained over a dozen strong fighters.

Moreover, their auras were concealed using a Secret Technique.

Outsiders were completely unaware of their cultivation levels.

However, judging from Shang Tianque’s confidence, their overall strength should not be weak.

Yet, the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue spoke lightly, "Enemies are enemies, we don’t care, we choose to ally with Chen Xiao."

"If the Prince Shang wishes to target us, he should feel free to come!"

The two major forces, along with Chen Xiao who can explode at any moment, need not fear merely one Great Shang Emperor Clan?

Upon hearing this, Shang Tianque only cast a fake smile at the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue.

"Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue, you should know that our Young Master Situ has feelings for you, and I don’t wish for us to face each other in battle."

"Moreover, if the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue can marry the son of our Great General, it would be a great thing for our two royal clans!"

"I hope the Emperor’s daughter will consider our words carefully."

"If the Great Zhou Imperial Family and Xuantian Sect change their minds, we always welcome!"

As he spoke, Shang Tianque left in a rush with his people.

Zi Yan had a hint of anger on her face, "Shang Tianque really thinks himself important, so pretentious!"

Previously, Saint Xia and those people from the Da Xia Royal Family were also so arrogant.

In the end, they were annihilated by Chen Xiao.

Hopefully, the Great Shang Imperial Family won’t follow their footsteps!

After this interlude, soon, everyone saw a special light glowing inside the ruins of the Tianyuan Ancient Sect, gradually spreading throughout the ancient sect ruins.

That invisible rule barrier began to break down little by little under this special light...

Then, in the burning gazes of the crowd, they saw the barrier gradually weaken.

And the ruins of the ancient sect in their line of sight gradually became clearer.

The Tianyuan Ancient Sect officially opened!

Everyone took a deep breath, their eyes burning, and ready to move.

No one noticed.

In the rear of the crowd, far away, a group of black-clothed individuals suddenly appeared.

Their aura was very concealed, making it difficult to discern their strength, but they all stood very orderly behind a young man.

The young man was handsome with a slightly androgynous appearance.

It was none other than the Saint Heir of Wushen Sect.

And those black-clothed individuals were his subordinates.

This time, their Wushen Sect sent a large number of people into the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

For the purpose of ensuring their plan’s infallibility.

Before entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm, all these martial artists entered under the guise of Loose Cultivators.

They did not alert any forces.

But once inside the Tianyuan Secret Realm, where only martial artists below the Heavenly Realm entered this place, these undercover people could change everything.

Wushen Sect was a terrifying force that once ruled the entire Outer Domain.

Although they were forced by several Ancient Royal Clans and Xuantian Sect and other top forces to retreat into hiding, after years of recovery, they’ve regained their strength relying on their past powerful foundation.

Now, among the many forces entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm, their Wushen Sect is the strongest.

Even if many martial artists unite, it’s hard for them to be opponents!

Furthermore...

They have secretly laid out numerous strategies.

Even if all these people turn against them, they are not afraid at all.

The Saint Heir of Wushen Sect’s lips curled, "The show... is about to start."

"The next scene will surely be magnificent!"

"Your Highness Saint Heir, you tactically manipulate everyone, truly impressive!" a Wushen Sect member flattered.

"The Saint Heir’s layout has calculated them all in, I’m afraid what awaits these fools later isn’t joy, but fright!"

"..."

The many members of Wushen Sect also wore bloodthirsty, playful smiles.

Suddenly——

"Crack!"

"Crack——"

The crowd saw that on the huge barrier, illusory cracks appeared.

These cracks grew larger and larger, eventually spreading across the entire barrier.

Like a gigantic spider web.

And then, the barrier broke!

The ruins of the Tianyuan Ancient Sect officially appeared before everyone!

"Swoosh——"

"Swoosh——"

"Swoosh——"

Countless martial artists immediately rushed toward the barrier at high speed.

A grand formation.

"We go in too!" As Chen Xiao ordered, those martial artists from the Xuantian Sect and the Great Zhou Imperial Family also advanced under his lead.

"Stay close to me." Chen Xiao specifically instructed Zi Yuan and the two ladies of Xiyue.

Suddenly, the space ahead changed drastically!

At the edge of the barrier, blood-red banners suddenly emerged from the ground, emitting a menacing aura, as countless black fumes rose from them...

These banners quickly formed a massive Array, enveloping all the martial artists charging forward.

"Blood Soul Banner!!" Chen Xiao’s scalp unexpectedly tingled.

He had witnessed the power of the Blood Soul Banner, and knowing the potency of an Array formed by such a multitude of Blood Soul Banners was undoubtedly terrifying!

"It’s Wushen Sect’s people!"

"When did they set up such an Array in this place?!"

Zi Yuan and the Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue both turned pale suddenly.

"This is the Saint Heir’s gift for your first meeting!"

A faint chuckle came from the rear of the martial artists, as the Saint Heir of Wushen Sect along with many of their members appeared before everyone.
