Chapter 1761 - 1744: Super Spirit King
"What’s happening?" Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
The melodious sound of the flute spread out continuously, without the slightest aggression, yet it painted fear across the faces of many Earth Spirit Realm experts, preventing them from daring to rush forward even with the Sand Palace right before them.
Even the Spirit Kings from the Blue Demon Star Domain beside him were no exception, casting meaningful glances his way.
A sense of foreboding swept over Xiao Ye’s entire being.
"No good!"
"If I am not mistaken, this should be the First Spirit King of the Wancang Star Domain — You Jiushan, who has cultivated the Three Thousand Great Realm Qu Ming Ancient Scripture. It is rumored that he has now broken through to the Late Earth Spirit Realm, once injuring a Heavenly Spirit Realm expert with a tune. He is one of the two strongest Spirit Kings among the forces of the Nine Star Domains this time, dubbed as a Super Spirit King."
"Wasn’t he supposed to be on the Fourth Treasure Star, contending with the other Super Spirit King? How did he end up here?"
Yasi, who had been following beside Xiao Ye, suddenly couldn’t help but exclaim.
"The First Spirit King of the Wancang Star Domain?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s expression changed slightly, and the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.
He had once taken action to kill the third Spirit King Panlong of the Wancang Star Domain, causing a grudge.
And before the core region of the Starry Sky Secret Realm opened, their Blue Demon Star Domain’s third Spirit King Ning Que was also retaliated against and killed by the Wancang Star Domain’s experts.
Could it have been this First Spirit King of the Wancang Star Domain who acted?
He had long known from Yasi that amongst the forces of the Nine Star Domains this time, there appeared several geniuses who cultivated the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, two of whom were in the Late Earth Spirit Realm. He hadn’t expected to encounter them so quickly.
"Without my permission, if you set foot in the Sand Palace rashly, you die."
Under the gaze of numerous shocked eyes, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky horizon.
A young man in yellow War Armor, with rather ordinary looks but exceptionally long, seemingly boneless hands, reminiscent of a woman’s.
He was holding a Green Jade Flute, gently playing it at his lips. His every move appeared natural and unforced, with ancient scripture runes intertwining on his agile body.
With just one tune, he intimidated all the Earth Spirit Realm experts. What kind of demeanor is this?
"Damn, a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm expert cultivating the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture shows up, this is outright bullying!"
A Spirit Rank expert clenched his fists in unwillingness.
"There may be many Cosmic Spiritual Treasures within the Sand Palace, but this guy is a Super Spirit King, we can’t provoke him, we should leave."
"Indeed, compared to Cosmic Spiritual Treasures, our lives are more important."
...
A few other Spirit Rank experts spoke, retreating quietly.
"Wan Lingxiao, I once said, if you and the Spirit Kings of the Blue Demon Star Domain appear in my sights again, I will strike and kill directly."
"Did you think I was joking? The over thirty Spirit Kings around you aren’t enough for me to kill."
The melodious sound of the flute vanished, replaced by a calm voice, immediately causing many Spirit Kings from the Blue Demon Star Domain to adopt a stance as if facing a great enemy, their faces pale.
The Primordial Law Ancient Scripture is the highest technique leading towards the Holy Rank.
Back then, the Silver Moon Ancient Scripture cultivated by Demon Weapon was ranked completely at the bottom among the ancient scriptures of the Three Thousand Great Realms, yet it could contend against Earth Spirit Realm experts with a Late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation.
The Qu Ming Ancient Scripture cultivated by You Jiushan before them even ranks above the Silver Moon Ancient Scripture, with a realm reaching Late Earth Spirit Realm.
With such power, killing them would indeed be a breeze.
"Haha, Spirit King You Jiushan, the conflict between the Spirit Kings of the Blue Demon Star Domain and the Wancang Star Domain was due to the death of Panlong Spirit King."
"Now that I have brought the murderer who killed Panlong Spirit King, handing him over to you for disposal, I believe with your status, you won’t trouble us further."
Wan Lingxiao cupped his fists and spoke, his words spreading, causing Xiao Ye to tremble all over, his gaze turning completely cold.
So that’s it...
Wan Lingxiao invited him not truly to seek the Sand Palace but with this exact intention in mind.
No wonder he had sensed so many peculiarities along the way.
It seems Wan Lingxiao gathered over thirty Spirit Kings around him not to deal with the dangers on Treasure Star, but to confront You Jiushan instead.
"Wan Lingxiao, are you even human?"
"We hail from the same lineage, yet now you intend to hand over Xiao Ye Spirit King to the enemy to save yourself?" The gentle-looking Yasi couldn’t help but flare up, her green eyes shooting flames of anger.
"To accomplish great deeds, sacrifices are necessary. Moreover, it was Xiao Ye who instigated You Jiushan against the Spirit Kings of our Blue Demon Star Domain."
"Now I hand him over to protect us, why not?"
"I cannot give up on this Sand Palace!" Wan Lingxiao’s clothes fluttered as he spoke indifferently.
"You!"
Just as Yasi was about to retaliate, a terrifying aura suddenly swept across the sky; You Jiushan, holding the Green Jade Flute, appeared across the sky.
"Very well, I have inquired with Fu Zhongshan, he is indeed the one who killed Panlong, this matter thus concludes. Simultaneously, I permit you alone to enter the Sand Palace, on the condition that half of the treasures obtained are handed over to me."
You Jiushan looked down at Xiao Ye, speaking softly.
"Haha, good, thank you Spirit King You Jiushan." Wan Lingxiao was overjoyed upon hearing this, laughed aloud, and surged towards the Sand Palace.
"This..."
You Jiushan’s words left Xu Luantian and the over thirty Spirit Kings with unwilling expressions.
However, with only Wan Lingxiao permitted entry to the Sand Palace by You Jiushan, they dared not offend him, only able to watch with envy.
"There must be numerous Cosmic Spiritual Treasures within the Sand Palace."
"Even though I haven’t cultivated the Primordial Law Ancient Scripture, as long as I can leverage Cosmic Spiritual Treasures to break through the Heavenly Spirit Realm, my power will undoubtedly catch up to You Jiushan!"
Wan Lingxiao’s face showed a crazed expression.
As the leading Spirit King of the Blue Demon Star Domain, yet bowing before others, how could he be willing?
But fortunately, this was all merely temporary.
At this very moment—
"Wan Lingxiao, You Jiushan permits you to enter the Sand Palace, did I allow it?"
An incomparably cold voice rang out, and then Wan Lingxiao merely saw a blur in front of him, a figure stood in his path — it was Xiao Ye.
"Xiao Ye, do you think you’re a Super Spirit King? Do I need your permission to enter the Sand Palace?"
Wan Lingxiao was slightly taken aback, a face full of ridicule.
From start to finish, he never regarded this emerging Death God Spirit King from the Blue Demon Star Domain highly.
What does this guy amount to?
Just lucky, and he even fancies himself equal to me?
"Daring to attack others in front of me, you truly have courage."
You Jiushan said softly, placing the Green Jade Flute to his lips, and instantly, a visible sound wave swept out, causing all nearby Earth Spirit Realm experts to clutch their heads and scream, faces extremely pale, rolling on the ground.
"A mere trick, yet you think to stop me?"
Xiao Ye glanced coldly at You Jiushan, then roared, his Tai Chu Spirit Seed inside bellowing, and a formidable, boundless aura suddenly soared, stirring up a storm of yellow sand.
The visible sound waves were immediately all crushed and protected Yasi.
"Middle Earth Spirit Realm?"
"This guy actually broke through again!"
Originally brimming with mocking laughter, Wan Lingxiao’s pupils shrank, his brain left in a daze.
"Wan Lingxiao, you sought your own death, don’t blame me." Xiao Ye’s black hair scattered, fluttering in the wind, as he stepped forward.
