Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 661 - 655: Alien Clan Invasion

"So as we come to the Demon Ruins, everyone must work together with one heart, and no one is permitted to act on their own," Zuo Lingyun said, yet her eyes wandered to Zuo Shi with a light glare as she spoke, "Understand?"

"Why are you looking at me? Am I that unreliable?"

Zuo Shi was quite speechless, as if she were bound to mess things up.

"Let’s set off and find a safe spot to camp," Zuo Lingyun commanded with a gentle wave of her hand, her figure swiftly darting forward towards the mountains shrouded in sinister Qi. Behind her, Ye Xuan and Zuo Shi, among others, quickly followed suit.

As they entered the mountain range, they immediately felt enveloped by a faint chill, a result of the Demonic Qi from the Demon Ruins. If allowed to enter the body, it would erode the mind, so most who enter this place constantly circulate their True Yuan to expel the invasive Demonic Qi.

Ye Xuan’s squad swiftly passed through the mountain range and, along the way, encountered several other teams. Those adventurers, used to living on the edge, lit up at the sight of Ye Xuan and his team. Their gazes inevitably wandered over the delicate forms of Zuo Lingyun and Zuo Shi.

These men rarely saw such beautiful women, and now that they had the chance, they naturally felt a bit itchy.

However, even though they were itching, these adventurers were not blind, especially their leaders, who watched Zuo Lingyun and the others with caution and wariness. They ordered their team members to keep their eyes peeled and avoid offending any troublesome individuals.

For this reason, despite being noticeable, Zuo Lingyun’s group didn’t run into any real trouble. Moreover, they were still on the outskirts of the Demon Ruins where fearsome Demon Beasts were scarce, so by dusk, they had found a suitable camping spot.

The small campsite was set up in an open and secluded area in the woods, with a campfire that sent tendrils of light flickering against the darkness.

"Three days now, the Shadow Alliance has been so sluggish in their actions, it’s somewhat puzzling."

Adding more wood to the campfire, Ye Xuan expressed his puzzlement.

"Perhaps they are wary of the prestige of our Heavenly Martial Holy Land and dare not make any rash moves. That’s quite normal," Zuo Shi replied nonchalantly.

"Really? Let’s hope so."

Ye Xuan didn’t think things were that simple. The quieter the other party was, the more likely they were brewing some grand conspiracy.

Of course, this was just Ye Xuan’s conjecture.

As the small campfire gradually brought tranquility to the campsite, on a small hill some distance away, a group of dark figures materialized like specters in the night.

These shadowy figures, some tall, some short, some not even human in shape, emitted an obscure and evil vibration, obviously not of human kind.

"Are these the humans?"

A towering shadowy figure looking towards the hill where Ye Xuan’s group had settled questioned indifferently.

"Should be. It’s been confirmed. The Shadow Alliance Leader is after them. Gu Xuan and Long Dong have already led teams to the other two regions," a nearby shadowy figure whispered.

"Not one shall remain," the tall shadow stated coldly.

"Yes!"

The dark figures behind him responded in a low tone, and suddenly, the sound of rushing winds echoed. Like specters in the darkness, they quietly set out.

The tall shadowy figure, too, moved and vanished from the spot.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, by the campfire, Ye Xuan also slightly lifted his head, looking towards a particular direction.

"What’s wrong?"

Zuo Shi expressed some surprise.

"Seems like someone is coming."

Ye Xuan furrowed his brows as his soul power spread out. He could distinctly feel several vague fluctuations within the dense forest. Although well concealed, it was still faintly perceptible.

"Could it be an ambush?"

Zuo Shi stood up, her gaze directed toward the distance. However, with her sensitivity, she couldn’t detect any movement.

"Maybe not? Could it be a mistake in your perception?"

"There’s no mistake. Quickly, notify the others. We have an enemy situation! And it might not even be human!"

Ye Xuan had spent some time in the Evil Domain and had a certain understanding of Demonic Qi. These auras, although different from Demonic Qi, also belonged to Alien Clan auras and were easily distinguishable.

"Not human?"

Seeing Ye Xuan was not joking, Zuo Shi’s pretty face grew solemn. Before she could alert the others, with a "swoosh," Ye Xuan had already sprung into the air, soaring into the sky.

"Who dares skulk in the shadows, too cowardly to show their face!"

Ye Xuan looked towards the depths of the dark forest. Moving swiftly, he transformed into a streak of light, charging forward. The Rain Saint Sword in hand, he unleashed Sword Qi which tore through the darkness like a ribbon, bombarding the area mercilessly.

Boom, boom!

In the forest, the air waves rolled, shattering sections of the trees. Within the chaos, several dark figures could no longer conceal their presence and were exposed.

"To think we’ve been discovered!"

From the shadows, a voice of disbelief echoed, clearly not expecting their stealth had been foiled.

These shadows belonged to the skilled and elusive strong warriors of the Soul Clan.

The Soul Clan was also one of the powerful ancient races that had once flourished. However, after a great war, they faded into obscurity. Now, after thousands of years, it was unknown what their current state was in the shadows.

In addition to the Soul Clan, the group also included powerhouses from the Evil Dragon Clan and the Bone Clan, all with threatening auras.

"Hmph, there’s no time to consider that. Eliminate this brat first!"

Several shadows flickered into motion, aiming their malevolent strikes to lock onto Ye Xuan.

In the darkness of the night, unable to discern the strength of his enemies, Ye Xuan, after exposing their whereabouts with his sword strike, swiftly retreated, dodging all their attacks.

At this time, other disciples in the camp also heard the commotion and rushed out, clashing with those dark figures.

"How dare you, vermin, sneak attack the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land?!"

As Ye Xuan withdrew and the silhouettes in the forest emerged one after another, a sudden roar erupted from within the camp. It was none other than Zuo Lingyun.

Zuo Lingyun’s arrival was accompanied by an extremely overpowering presence, a strength solely belonging to the Martial Saint Realm.

The weapon in her hand, named the Phoenix Pattern Exquisite Sword, was an artifact that barely reached the level of a Holy Artifact, certainly not inferior to the Rain Saint Sword. As the Phoenix Pattern Exquisite Sword was unsheathed, it was like a fiery phoenix flying across the sky, roaming freely.

Therefore, Zuo Lingyun’s presence immediately boosted the morale of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land’s side.

With a single slash, two of the Bone Clan’s powerhouses were struck by the Sword Qi, their bodies igniting into flames, and they let out pitiful howls.
