“Saint Ruler?”

The Sword Sect Head had a complicated expression as he looked at the Fenghua Palace below…

“What a waste…”

Jian Tongming laughed bitterly. However, he knew that what happened wasn’t the Sect Head’s fault.

Who knew that Zong Shou who had a Broken Soul Body, Dual Meridian Body, and Barriers From Heaven would be able to merge spirit and martial arts during Xiantian Realm? Who knew he would become the Saint Ruler a few years later? To enter God Realm, causing the destruction of both Wushang Yuan Demon and Cloud Stepping Demon Lord?

Zong Shou bowed to show thanks. Jian Tongming sighed, “He is polite and his personality isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, he isn’t a Sword Sect disciple.”

He knew that he couldn’t continue the topic as he changed his tone, “With Wushang Yuan Demon dying, the Demon Path sects probably won’t have a good time in the future.”

Sikong Fo laughed. How would it only be not having a good time? They would be like meat on a chopping board, getting ready to be slashed by people.

After this battle, the Demon Path was like dogs who had lost their homes. Sword Sect and Common People’s Path would split their mind stone veins.

“The Demon Path issue isn’t of importance.”

Sword Sect Head shook his head, “We can wait till the battle at Tianfang World clears up.”

Sikong Fo’s brow rose up. Was the Sect Head planning to personally appear during the Tianfang World battle?

It concerned the survival of the Cloud World. Since Sword Sect were the allies of Great Gan, they had to be involved.

Not only them, but Buddhist Faction would also go all out for this.

However, Sword Sect wasn’t at the level of Buddhist Faction and Common People’s Path who couldn’t afford to lose. His Senior Brother was also the person in the Sword Sect with the most hope of entering End Realm, so there was no need for him to take such a risk…

Seeing the few people look over in doubt, trying to persuade him, the Sword Sect Head laughed.

“This battle might have End Realm Saint Venerables participating in it and we can’t miss it. 100 years is too long and Ancestor Cibei said that this battle might be a chance for me to grasp that End Realm Tribulation, so how could I not head over? If it was like he expected, the battle would also decide the Cloud World situation for the next 100 years…”

Their hearts shook and they exchanged glances with one another. Speaking of which, Ancestor Cibei had predicted the battle of the Fenghua Palace long ago?

What was he planning in the dark?

※※※※

At the same time, in the wilderness of the Imperial City, roughly 1,600 miles in the air, a man with tanned skin and a pair of wings was coldly judging the palace.

Night Demon Race members mostly feared the light. However, this kid was perfectly fine even as he stood under the sun.

He was really calm, bathing in the sunlight like he was enjoying it.

Beside him was a man in a black robe. He looked respectful and was following his orders. He was a human from the Cloud World.

In four directions, there stood four people who grouped up against them, who had solemn expressions on their faces.

A monk, a Taoist, a Confucian, and the other was a cultivator with a sword.

A Heaven Path Intent similar to the Common Life Seven Swords buffed this area, such that when the four of them went up against the two people, although they were at a disadvantage, they could still hold on.

“World Protecting Venerable? How annoying. I came here to look around, so why are you so nervous? My Dark World Demon Court will enter the Cloud World in a few months, so you all can be nervous then.”

The black man grinned and laughed, disregarding the four people around.

This was because the four World Protecting Venerables weren’t strong enough for him to worry at all.

“It is best you don’t try anything, otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless. Out of you six only five remain, right? I don’t mind taking one of your heads…”

The faces of the four around turned green but none of them spoke.

Only the Confucian laughed coldly, “Shaye! Let’s hope you can say these words when you see our Cloud World Great Gan Ruler.”

Li Biexue and Xingya, who dared to speak like Zong Shou, were already dead.

As World Protecting Venerables they were able to see every detail in the world. They would only know more than others.

“Great Gan Ruler? That immature kid in the Imperial City?”

Although his tone was filled with disdain and mocking intent, some seriousness appeared in the eyes of the tan-skinned boy named Shaye.

“Xizhe, that person in the city. Is he the one who killed my dumb brother and three Saint Realms from the Dark World Demon Court?”

“Yes!”

Beside Shaye, the tanned skin man said respectfully, “He killed Jiaming Luo! As for how the three Saint Realm Venerables died, it still hasn’t been proven. I only know that it has something to do with Zong Shou. However, the four of them should know.”

The four around didn’t say a word.

Shaye also didn’t hope that they would. He just laughed coldly, “It isn’t proven. However, only a few people were able to get out from the tomb. No matter what, it is this kid’s fault. Although he is only God Realm, normal Saint Realm experts are like ants in front of him. Those three race members really can’t fight him. This is interesting. Saint Ruler, flawless Saint, 12 Copper Men, speaking of which, is this person the biggest obstacle to us invading the Cloud World?”

His eyes were filled with worry. The 12 Copper Men could kill End Realms and reduce all cultivators above Xiantian within a certain range.

With this God Artifact, it would be tough to win the battle at Tianfang World.

Unfortunately, just now with the Nine Heaven Ten Earth Formation blocking things, the Common Life Seven Swords and Fuling Sword Formation locked down the space.

At End Realm strength and with just one God Treasure, he couldn’t look in at all.

He only knew that the 12 Copper Men were controlled by Common People’s Path out of nowhere.

Wushang Yuan Demon not only lost unknowingly, but he was also sealed forever.

“Great Gan has Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction as allies. Now that Great Shang is gone, no one is blocking them and they can send all their troops to Tianfang World. He is indeed our greatest enemy!”

Xizhe said, his eyes filled with worry, “Apart from Xiuguan not being here, Common People’s Path has four End Realm experts and one God Venerable. The Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction are really strong too. The former has Cibei who is second to Xiuguan. Buddhist Faction has four End Realm. The battle at Tianfang World doesn’t look really optimistic.”

He already regretted it. If he knew that Great Gan was so strong and that Zong Shou could actually smash Great Shang which was showing signs of rising up, he wouldn’t have changed sides so easily.

From the hateful and annoyed eyes of the four World Protecting Venerables beside, he knew that once this matter spread out, unless the Dark World Demon Court successfully invaded the Cloud World, there would be no place for him in this world. He would be chased and killed by the Cloud World cultivators.

“Do you regret it? Unfortunately, with things at such a stage you have no choice.”

Pretty much guessing his thoughts, Shaye laughed coldly, “Don’t worry, if it were just these 12 Copper Men and six to seven End Realms, we still wouldn’t care. The Cloud World has been nurtured for 10,000 years and so have we. Naturally, we have our methods…”

As for what they were, Shaye didn’t mention it.

Xizhe was pumped up. Seeing that Shaye was confident, he knew that he definitely had something that he relied on.

If he didn’t have any confidence or if they were unable to cause heavy losses to both sides, they would just choose to retreat and not continue.

“I joined you by my own choice, so why would I regret it? I just hope that Your Highness won’t go against your words…”

“To extend your lifespan for 1,000 years?”

Shaye laughed, “To you, it might be a dream, but to me, it is just a small matter. Actually, if you do the thing that I told you, then I can give you a Night Demon Body for you to be part of us! Anyway, just…”

When he said this, he had stepped into the outer region space.

Xizhe’s expression didn’t change. He still bowed respectfully to show his gratitude.

Only when Shaye’s aura faded into the distance did he stand up and smile at the old Confucian, “Then, I will take my leave. Speaking of which, I am from the Cloud World, so the four of you won’t tell others about my private matters, right?”

The expression of the Confucian was dark as water, “You were once a mighty lord, so why did you join their side?”

“To extend my lifespan. You all were willing to be restricted by Heaven and Earth to get that, so what right do you have to judge me? What is the difference between the resources being taken by aliens or people of this world?”

Xizhe shook his head and scoffed coldly, “I won’t waste any time. Goodbye.”

When that person disappeared, the old Confucian sighed. The Will of Heaven and Earth, the source of the Cloud World, protected itself and not the human race.

The will of Heaven and Earth didn’t care who controlled the Cloud World, as long as it wasn’t damaged.

If the Human Race harmed the structure of the Cloud World, the source would even try its best to kill the humans.

This was why 8,000 years ago, after the End Realm battle caused Heaven and Earth to tear apart, not only did alien races reenter, but the human race was nearly on the brink of extinction. That lasted till Ranwu King rose up.
