"In that case, you can all scram. Don’t even think about the Immortal Treasure."

Ye Xuan frowned and said.

These words were naturally meant to provoke these guys.

After all, they came for the Immortal Treasure and wouldn’t give up that easily.

The death of one Zhuo Rou wasn’t enough to scare them, it only made them more calculating.

They didn’t want to rush out, because even if they won, they would still face the covetous eyes of others.

There would be a bloody battle then.

That’s why they’re hesitant to step forward.

"Ahem, young friend, how about we change the method of our duel?"

Seeing no one stepping forward, Old Demon Chu spoke up and said.

"What, are you scared of dying?" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Of course, I’m scared of dying." Old Demon Chu didn’t deny it and said with a smile, "After all, we’re all here for the Immortal Treasure, we want to be peaceful and avoid fighting. How about we have an interesting and risk-free duel?"

"Old Demon Chu, if you’re scared, just get lost. I’ve already summoned the Ancient Battlefield, yet you speak of this and that."

At this moment, Hong Ba of the Emperor Immortal Sect stepped out and said coldly.

Old Demon Chu restrained his smile and said lightly, "I’m thinking of your Ye Xuan, don’t be so unreasonable."

"How about this, since you’re scared, come at me together, I don’t mind."

Ye Xuan spoke again, shocking everyone.

"What!?"

Not only Old Demon Chu and the others but also those from the Emperor Immortal Sect and the numerous reinforcements who came to aid were all stunned.

Together!?

What a joke, even if each Sect sends only one representative, that would be over thirty people, each being an Invincible Great Sage.

Over thirty Invincible Great Sages joining forces.

Who the hell could win against that?

"Young Master Ye, are you joking?"

Old Demon Chu looked at Ye Xuan with a strange expression.

Wuxiangzi, Ben Lei Daoist, and others were also astonished.

Ye Xuan’s statement truly shocked them.

Could it be that he thinks after killing Zhuo Rou, he could disregard everyone else?

It’s important to know that everyone present had long been world-famous.

If they really joined forces, even one strike could make Ye Xuan weep!

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly.

"Ye Xuan!"

Hong Ba and others hurriedly tried to dissuade Ye Xuan.

Zhou Zihuang, the three ancestors, and others all spoke out trying to stop him.

But no matter how everyone tried to persuade him, Ye Xuan remained unmoved.

"Youwei, go and try to talk some sense into him."

Zhou Zihuang approached Zhou Youwei and said softly, "Right now, I reckon only you can persuade him."

Zhou Youwei slightly shook her head and said, "No one can persuade him, nor is there a need to."

"Why?"

Zhou Zihuang was puzzled.

Zhou Youwei smiled faintly and said, "Because... that’s not my husband’s true self."

Zhou Zihuang was shocked at first, then said, "But if his true self can’t make it back in time, once this avatar perishes, those guys will surely act up!"

He could see that these guys would never rest without obtaining the Immortal Treasure.

"They’d better have the strength to accomplish that."

Zhou Youwei said softly, "Even if my husband’s avatar falls, there’s still me."

Zhou Zihuang felt a headache coming on at her words.

Regarding his own daughter, Zhou Zihuang really didn’t understand her much.

Whether it was this eldest daughter or the younger one.

The eldest daughter often stayed outside, nobody knew what she was up to, and her strength was a mystery.

The younger one, with blinded eyes, still roamed about, saying she was gaining insight into heaven and earth.

Sigh.

Zhou Zihuang felt like he was not at all a competent father.

But since Zhou Youwei said so, Zhou Zihuang also knew that no matter how much more he tried persuading, it was meaningless.

He could only watch.

On the other side, seeing that despite Ye Xuan being dissuaded by so many, he remained unmoved, Old Demon Chu and others got inspired.

"Young friend, so many of us teaming against you is truly unreasonable."

But Old Demon Chu pretended to say.

Ye Xuan immediately replied, "Since it’s unreasonable, you come at me alone first."

Old Demon Chu’s mouth twitched: "..."

What was he being polite for!

Old Demon Chu lightly coughed twice to cover the awkwardness and said, "Then let’s follow the young friend’s suggestion and attack together."

Ye Xuan looked at Old Demon Chu with slight derision, "If you’re coming, then come, what’s with all the nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Old Demon Chu’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed, he stopped paying attention to Ye Xuan, and looked around, saying, "Which of the fellow Daoists is willing to step forward with me?"

The entire arena fell silent.

For a moment, Old Demon Chu was left hanging there.

Damn it, they were deliberately making it hard for him!

Old Demon Chu’s gaze slowly turned grim, and he said coldly, "If that’s the case, if anyone dares to compete for the Immortal Treasure later, don’t blame my Blood Demon Sky Sect for being cruel."

This clearly showed his attitude.

However, among those present, few would fear the Blood Demon Sky Sect.

Xu Chunlei, the Left Envoy of the Purple Cloud Demon Sect in Heavenly State, took a step forward, walking towards Ye Xuan, and said slowly, "Young friend Ye, I am Xu Chunlei, Left Envoy of the Purple Cloud Demon Sect, here to seek guidance."

Seeing someone step forward, Old Demon Chu’s face softened slightly, and he followed suit.

"Shi Pojun of Qingtian Divine Sect, here to seek guidance."

Another middle-aged man who had been silent until now, filled with vigor and vitality, stepped forward and spoke.

"Liu Changqing of the Liu Family."

Liu Changqing also stepped out.

Following that, one ancient powerhouse after another came forward.

As for the other mighty figures who followed them, if they did not have the strength of a Supreme Great Sage or Invincible Great Sage, they stood aside.

To avoid being killed in the fight.

Even so, forty-three people stepped forward.

Ye Xuan alone faced off against forty-three ancient powerhouses with the strength of Invincible Great Sages and Supreme Great Sages.

Such a confrontation, in anyone’s view, seemed completely unwinnable.

Yet Ye Xuan’s smile grew bolder, finally breaking into a hearty laugh, "I knew you shameless ones would come, bring it on, all together!"

Despite Ye Xuan’s words, Old Demon Chu and the others showed no anger.

They were all people who had lived for a long time, naturally not provoked to murderous rage by Ye Xuan’s taunt.

At their age, they understood more clearly their position and how to achieve the greatest benefit.

That’s what they needed to do.

As for personal grudges, they really didn’t care much.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shamed themselves to trouble a young lad.

Before coming here, they had already set aside their so-called dignity.

Compared to the importance of the Immortal Treasure, what was personal face worth?

Just like Zhuo Rou, who also did not care, why else would she face Ye Xuan as an aid to the Emperor Immortal Sect for the first battle, to gain an edge in the fight for the Immortal Treasure.

Of course, the result was tragic, she died miserably.

Became a stepping stone for Ye Xuan.

Currently, the entire Xuanhuang Great World knew that Old Ancestor Zhuo Rou from the Southern Sea Immortal Island died at Ye Xuan’s hands.

Now, it was Ye Xuan alone facing top powerhouses from all regions of the Xuanhuang Great World!

The peak battle was on the verge of breaking out.

At the same time, Ye Xuan’s true self was also nearing the end of refining the World Tree.
