Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Hearing Du Ying’s words, Qing Zhu smiled faintly. "Master Du, I hope you keep your word."

The moment she finished speaking, Elder He, standing behind Qing Zhu, unleashed an aura that far surpassed any Spirit Realm expert. He reached his right hand into the void.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was locked in a fierce battle with Tang Wushuang. By now, Tang Wushuang could no longer be considered human, and Lin Yun wasn’t holding back. He activated both his War God Transformation and the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool at once.

However, with his mind consumed by the Black Heaven Blood Pill, Tang Wushuang felt nothing. His body was already covered in wounds, and Lin Yun had even run him through the chest with his spear, yet he was completely numb to the pain. His assault didn’t waver in the slightest.

Just then, Tang Wushuang charged at Lin Yun like a wild beast, making no attempt to dodge. Seeing his opening, Lin Yun immediately executed Wind Thunder Triple Flash, his spear piercing Tang Wushuang’s right shoulder.

In almost the same motion, as his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear ran through Tang Wushuang’s right shoulder, Lin Yun seized him by the neck, bringing him completely under control.

"Kill... kill... kill..." Tang Wushuang growled, even while pinned by Lin Yun, his eyes completely devoid of fear.

"You’ve abandoned everything that makes you human," Lin Yun said flatly, seeing Tang Wushuang’s state. "In that case, allow me to send you on your way."

Just as Lin Yun was about to deliver the killing blow, a pair of colossal hands suddenly emerged from the void, tearing it asunder.

The massive hands reached out and effortlessly snatched Tang Wushuang from Lin Yun’s grasp. During the entire process, Lin Yun couldn’t move a muscle, his body completely suppressed.

It wasn’t just Lin Yun. Wei Yunhang and the others, along with the disciples of the Five Great Forces below, were all similarly immobilized.

"A Saint..." Lin Yun muttered, watching the colossal hands that had rescued Tang Wushuang. ’Only a Saint could do something like this. It’s beyond the power of even a Spirit Realm expert.’

After rescuing Tang Wushuang, the Saint showed no intention of attacking anyone else. The hands withdrew back into the void, taking Tang Wushuang’s body with them. Afterward, the rift in space slowly sealed itself shut.

Not until the rift had completely sealed did everyone regain control of their bodies. After such a shocking turn of events, the chaotic melee between the Five Great Forces came to a halt.

"This is..." Song Tianyang wore a peculiar expression. It seemed he knew who had just rescued Tang Wushuang.

’What is the Young Miss planning?’ Song Tianyang wondered.

With Tang Wushuang gone, only Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong remained to lead the forces of the Wuji Sect and Celestial Eagle Valley. Facing Lin Yun’s group of three, Lin Jianhong’s expression was grim.

’Dammit, why would a Saint interfere?’ he cursed under his breath. He shot a dark look at Lin Yun’s trio, knowing that continuing this fight was hopeless. They had no chance of winning now.

"Let’s go." Song Tianyang shared Lin Jianhong’s assessment, but his retreat was far more decisive. For one, their side was now at a clear disadvantage. More importantly, he had no idea what Qing Zhu was planning. ’Why would Elder He rescue Tang Wushuang?’

Once the Wuji Sect departed, only the disciples of Celestial Eagle Valley were left. Lin Jianhong shot one last dark look at Lin Yun’s trio before finally leading his people away as well.

With the two forces gone, the conflict over the Saint’s Relics had reached its conclusion. The treasures within would naturally be divided among the remaining three: the Taiqing Academy, the Spiritual Light Pavilion, and Flawless Palace.

Watching the two forces retreat, disciples from the winning factions erupted in cheers. At the sight, Gong Lingqi’s expression turned utterly grim. He never imagined this would be the final outcome.

Without another word, Gong Lingqi led the dozen or so Flawless Palace disciples away. He had lost too much face to remain.

After sending the injured disciples to tend to their wounds, Lin Yun’s trio gathered. They all wondered about the Saint who had suddenly intervened.

"There are only a handful of Saints in the Eastern Domain, but I don’t recognize who that was," Wei Yunhang said.

"The Eastern Domain is about to descend into chaos. For a Saint to make a move... this is no small matter," Xi Zijin added.

Lin Yun listened to them, remaining silent and contemplative. ’I have a feeling that Saint wasn’t from the Eastern Domain,’ he thought. ’It’s more likely they came from the Central Domain.’

’But if they’re already a Saint, why travel all the way from the heart of the Celestial Spirit Continent to the Eastern Domain? And what’s even stranger... why is Tang Wushuang worth a Saint’s intervention?’

For some reason, his thoughts turned to that mysterious organization.

It wasn’t just Lin Yun. Far away in the Central Domain, the Double Flower Saint had also become aware of what had just transpired.

The Red Flower Saint spoke. "Sister, did you recognize the Saint who just made a move?"

Hearing this, the White Flower Saint slowly replied, "I don’t. But they are likely a Semi-Saint, one who probably hasn’t been to the Holy Hall to receive their title yet."

The shockwaves from a Saint’s intervention were indeed profound. Meanwhile, the rescued Tang Wushuang now found himself in the Main Hall of Celestial Eagle Valley.

Unable to even recognize his own master, Du Ying, Tang Wushuang was tossed to the floor by Elder He. He was completely immobilized, still muttering, "Kill... kill... kill."

Seeing Tang Wushuang in this state, Du Ying’s heart was in turmoil. ’The side effects of the Black Heaven Blood Pill are this severe... If I had known this beforehand, I would never have let him take it, no matter what.’

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady." Du Ying bowed to Qing Zhu. With a Semi-Saint acting as her escort, he didn’t dare put on any airs.

Qing Zhu smiled faintly at his words. But before Du Ying could speak again, an old man materialized out of thin air beside him.

Seeing the old man, Du Ying became flustered and hurriedly bowed. "Grandmaster, what brings you here?"

Indeed, this old man was the Saint of Celestial Eagle Valley, known by the title of Celestial Eagle Saint.

The Celestial Eagle Saint gave a slight nod, his gaze falling upon the immobilized Tang Wushuang on the floor. "The Black Heaven Blood Pill..." he murmured. "How utterly foolish."

His eagle-like eyes finally settled on Elder He. The Celestial Eagle Saint would never have shown himself if he hadn’t sensed the arrival of another Saint at Celestial Eagle Valley when Elder He made his move.

"May I ask what business brings the two of you to my Celestial Eagle Valley?" the Celestial Eagle Saint asked, his tone level.

Hearing this, Qing Zhu smiled slightly. "Since the Celestial Eagle Saint himself has appeared, I’ll be direct," she said, her tone calm. "From this day forward, Celestial Eagle Valley will obey my commands."

Qing Zhu’s arrogance was so staggering that for a moment, the Celestial Eagle Saint thought he had misheard. ’Celestial Eagle Valley has stood firm in the Eastern Domain for countless years, and now someone wants us to submit?’

"Do you think a mere Semi-Saint who hasn’t even earned a title is enough to make Celestial Eagle Valley submit?" the Celestial Eagle Saint said coldly. "Whether or not I can kill him is one thing, but he most certainly cannot kill me."

"I’m well aware of that," Qing Zhu chuckled. "But what if there were two Semi-Saints...?" As she spoke, another old man materialized out of thin air right beside Elder He.
