“Xing Mengwan? Members from the Heaven Nether Sect?”

The Battle Thearch was feeling a little bewildered. The Heaven Nether Sect had maintained a low-profile for the past hundred thousand years; they never actively sought to find trouble with anyone. After destroying the formation at Sin Island the previous time, they had immediately departed back home. How was it that they had suddenly appeared here now? Could it be they were prepared to lend a hand to the alliance army? However, since they have come, why only these ten?

Jiang Xiaonu stopped her slaughter as her gaze turned towards Xing Mengwan in the far distance. Her eyes flashed curiously as she asked coldly, “How do you know my name? Who are you? What right do you have to mind my business?”

“Who I am is not important! The important thing is that I am a human!”

Xing Mengwan’s calm and gentle voice rang forth. Although her voice was soft, everyone could hear her. She paused for a moment and then continued, “As for your name, it was my father who told me. We had actually already returned to our home and did not want to meddle in affairs anymore. However, my father had said that the human race would face a calamity and that to do our part for humanity, we had to make another trip.

“Jiang Xiaonu, if you stop attacking now, it is not too late. I think that the Battle Thearch, North Thearch, and others can forgive you for your transgressions. Humans and demons are mortal enemies; do you actually want to see all of mankind being killed by demons?”

The Battle Thearch. North Thearch, Evil Thearch, and Beast Thearch’s eyes all lit up. The Heaven Nether Sect had indeed made an exception this time. Everyone was also amazed at the mystical abilities of the Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch.

The Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch had actually predicted that the alliance army would be in trouble? Xing Mengwan and company needed at least half a month to rush here from the East Imperial Continent. That meant that… half a month ago, the Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch had already predicted everything and had asked Xing Mengwan in advance to come to their aid. Furthermore, he had even fathomed Jiang Xiaonu’s name?

In reality…!

Even the Battle Thearch had not seen the Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch before and only knew the rough location of the sect. He only knew that the Heaven Nether Sect was very strong and could rival the Nine Thearch Clans.

As for whether the North Thearch had seen the Heaven Nether Sect Patriarch before, the Battle Thearch did not know. The North Thearch’s clan had formed a marriage alliance with the Heaven Nether Sect while the North Emperor’s wife—Wu Ni’s mother—was also the previous generation’s Heaven Nether Sect Saint Lady; their relationship with the Heaven Nether Sect was very good.

Jiang Xiaonu became silent. She racked her small brain for a second and said resolutely, “I do not care about the human race or the demon race. This group of people wants to kill me; I will kill them in return! Young Master and I owe a great debt to Ao Lu while Lady Qianqian is also my friend. Of course, I have to help them. Why not… you guys withdraw your army? I will not pursue and hunt you guys.”

The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, Evil Thearch, Tang Shenji, and company exchanged glances and hesitated; some of them indeed wanted to retreat temporarily. After all, only ten people had come from the Heaven Nether Sect; it was not enough to kill Jiang Xiaonu.

“Keke!”

Xing Mengwan, however, laughed as she shook her head and said, “Jiang Xiaonu, do you really think we cannot kill you? I was persuading you to repent in order to save your life. How many humans had died in this battle? Why should we retreat just because you said so? Look at these demons; will they let the human race go? If we were to retreat now, the East Imperial Continent would definitely be assaulted by them seeking revenge. At that time, even more humans would die! Jiang Xiaonu, if you back off now, we guarantee we will not pursue this matter. If you do not retreat, you will die.”

“Uh—”

Everyone was shocked; someone like Xing Mengwan would definitely walk her talk. That meant that she could really kill Jiang Xiaonu? Even the Battle Thearch and North Thearch couldn’t; the ten of them actually could?

“Hmph!”

Jiang Xiaonu was angry. For some reason, she really detested Xing Mengwan. Although this girl’s appearance and airs were top-class and her words were gentle and made people feel relaxed, Jiang Xiaonu just felt that something was amiss. She used her actions to show Xing Mengwan her answer.

Swish!

Jiang Xiaonu turned into a beam of green light and flew towards Xing Mengwan. Xing Mengwan had already revealed her killing intent when she had started to speak just now; Jiang Xiaonu had felt that. Hence, Jiang Xiaonu was prepared to fight and attack this number-one beauty of the East Imperial Continent.

“Keke, overestimating your abilities!”

Xing Mengwan laughed and casually gestured, “Set up the formation!’

The nine Demigods behind her immediately took their respective positions; it wasn’t the Plum Star Formation this time but a strange pentagonal formation. This time, the nine Demigods had also surrounded Xing Mengwan. All of them were glowing as they actually injected their essence force into Xing Mengwan.

Tsk! Tsk!

Nine streaks of essence force shot out. Xing Mengwan did not activate her divine shield; those essence force attacks did not hurt her the slightest. In fact, her strength started to rise exponentially, reaching a fearsome stage.

“This…”

The Evil Thearch and Beast Thearch exchanged glances as they were shocked to the core. At this moment, Xing Mengwan’s aura was that of an eight-star martial artist; it was still increasing. At last, Xing Mengwan’s aura reached that of a nine-star martial artist as she flew forward and a red whip appeared in her hand. She lashed it towards Jiang Xiaonu.

“Nine-star? Also, this whip’s aura is incredible. It is on the same level as Old Zhan’s Primordial Divine Spear, right? How is that possible?”

The Evil Thearch and Beast Thearch were even more astonished. Ancient artifacts were refined by ancient formidable martial artists; the stronger the formidable martial artist, the more powerful the ancient artifact would be. The strength of ancient artifacts laid in the powerful dao patterns embedded in these weapons. All the famous ancient artifacts in history owned by formidable martial artists were all recorded in each clan’s books; this whip was so powerful and yet, no one had heard of it before.

Tsk! Tsk!

The whip extended unlimitedly and even created tens of thousands of shadows that enveloped Jiang Xiaonu; its aura was awe-striking. The spatial zone was being tossed and twisted like a huge tide as waves appeared. Many Heaven Monarchs in the vicinity all hurriedly retreated; they had felt the imminent danger.

“Retreat…”

Jiang Xiaonu had felt the same danger. Her wings extended as she tried to flee. However, she realized that the spatial zone turbulence around her was too terrifying. Her speed suddenly slowed as the whip’s speed increased; its speed could even rival hers at her peak. Jiang Xiaonu could only watch as the tens of thousands of shadows tied her up.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Xiaonu’s claws could even break through Demigods’ divine shield; she did not believe that she could not destroy this whip. She fearlessly started to claw at the whip shadows that were rushing towards her.

However… there were too many of them. She could not differentiate between the shadows. Suddenly, she realized that her leg was being restrained and discovered that was where the whip’s true self was at. She hurriedly clawed on that whip.

Clang! Clang!

A sound of metal striking metal rang out as sparks flew everywhere. Jiang Xiaonu was shocked and frightened by what had happened: her invincible claws could not destroy the whip. That whip was like a venomous snake and coiled around her lower body and started to spread towards her upper body and hands.

“What a formidable whip!”

From afar, Ao Lu sighed slightly. His troubled eyes looked at Xing Mengwan as he looked agonized. With Jiang Xiaonu trapped, there was no way to turn this battle around anymore.

“Xiao Fei, flee.”

Jiang Xiaonu’s claw scratched a couple of times but ultimately realized that she could not break through the whip. She could only let Xiao Fei go with one hand. Almost her entire body had been tied up; she could also feel the danger emanating from the whip as her gaze locked on to Xing Mengwan as she said, “You dare to kill me? My young master will not let you off easily.”

“Keke!”

Xing Mengwan’s hands were making all sorts of strange signs but at this moment, her aura was swiftly weakening as she became a seven-star martial artist again. It was obvious that the formation had augmented her powers to that of a nine-star for only a short amount of time; it could only last for one attack.

She looked at Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes that were full of rage and smiled, “Your young master? You have done a perverse thing and decided to be in cahoots with the demon race to harm the human race! Disregarding your young master—even if an immortal was to come, I will execute justice on behalf of the heavens today.”

“Is that so?”

At this moment, an icy-cold voice traveled down from the Nine Heavens, followed by turbulence in the spatial zone. A pitch-black palace appeared from the crevices in the spatial zone just like an apparition.

The winds and clouds shifted above the palace as a huge phantom image congealed. That person’s cold eyes locked onto Xing Mengwan as he said coldly, “I am her young master. You are certain you want to kill my maidservant?”

Jiang Yi had finally appeared!
