The voice fell, and Wuma Changkong's figure directly blocked the path of Qing Shengyu and his two companions.
Lang Sun Chuan also stepped forward, arriving beside Wuma Changkong after a few strides. The two stood side by side, their gazes coldly fixed on Qing Shengyu and his companions, their eyes glinting with a chilling light.
Qing Shengyu's expression darkened as he glanced at Wuma Changkong and Lang Sun Chuan. "Do you think the two of you can stop us three?"
Two against three, all at the same level—where did their confidence come from?
"Who said it was just the two of them? Are you disregarding my presence?"
The Azure Phoenix Demon King transformed into human form. As the voice fell, she became a streak of azure light, appearing before Qing Shengyu and his companions, her aura extremely terrifying.
The Azure Phoenix Demon King could clearly see that Wuma Changkong and Lang Sun Chuan were among Ye Fan's closest allies. Since she had already pledged allegiance to Ye Fan, it was only natural for her to stand beside those who stood with him. If Wuma Changkong and the others intended to take action against Qing Shengyu, how could she remain indifferent?
Wuma Changkong turned his gaze to the Azure Phoenix Demon King, giving a slight nod in gratitude. Then he looked back at Qing Shengyu and his companions, his tone indifferent as he said, "Qing Shengyu, what now?"
Qing Shengyu and his two Uncle Emperors looked extremely grim. If they were only facing Wuma Changkong and Lang Sun Chuan, their numerical advantage might have given them a chance to escape.
Now, with the addition of the terrifyingly powerful Azure Phoenix Demon King, their hopes of fleeing seemed almost nonexistent.
Under normal circumstances, among those of the same realm, a Demon Tamer would generally be stronger than a human.
Moreover, the Azure Phoenix Demon King was not an ordinary Demon Tamer; she possessed the bloodline of a divine beast flowing within her veins, and her true form could be considered a divine beast as well.
Therefore, the three of them were extremely wary of the Azure Phoenix Demon King and Qing Shengyu.
Casting a glance at the Azure Phoenix Demon King, Qing Shengyu's expression darkened as he said, "Azure Phoenix Demon King, this is our matter; it seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
The Azure Phoenix Demon King was taciturn, and his expression appeared somewhat indifferent as he replied, "Are you blind? Can't you see we came together?"
Since they had come together, how could there be no connection?
"Azure Phoenix... how dare you!" One of Qing Shengyu's Uncle Emperors shouted angrily, pointing at the Azure Phoenix Demon King.
"Dare? I think you are the one who dares." A fierce light surged in the Azure Phoenix Demon King's eyes. In a flash, he transformed into a blue shadow and directly attacked Qing Shengyu's Uncle Emperor.
"Attack."
Wuma Changkong and Lang Sun Chuan exchanged glances and immediately ceased their hesitation. Each chose an opponent and charged toward Qing Shengyu and his other Uncle Emperor.
A fierce battle erupted instantly.
The entire Suspended King Sword Sect was filled with continuous explosive sounds as Ye Fan and Sikong Shan engaged in a violent clash in mid-air.
Below, Wuma Changkong, Lang Sun Chuan, and the Azure Phoenix Demon King stood together against Qing Shengyu and his companions.
All of them were at the Peak God-Slaying Half-Completion level. When they fought in chaos, the resulting might was equally thunderous and explosive.
As their battle raged on, countless pavilions and towers of the Suspended King Sword Sect collapsed under the aftermath of their conflict.
Xiao You's expression was extremely grim as he watched their battle, feeling a surge of fear and trepidation.
Although he was the current leader of the Suspended King Sword Sect and possessed the Pinnacle of God-Slaying cultivation, he found himself powerless in the face of the clash between Ye Fan and Sikong Shan, as well as the chaotic skirmish involving Wuma Changkong, Lang Sun Chuan, the Azure Phoenix Demon King, and Qing Shengyu.
Even with his level of cultivation, getting too close would put him at risk of being injured by the residual shockwaves.
Those who had come to congratulate him had also retreated to a safe distance.
The powerful ones could still stand in the void and watch from afar, while many of the weaker individuals had already slipped away without a word.
However, this was the Suspended King Sword Sect; anyone could leave.
But Xiao You and the disciples of the Suspended King Sword Sect could not.
As the battle intensified, both Ye Fan and Sikong Shan showed no mercy.
Countless disciples of the Suspended King Sword Sect were caught in their attacks, their bodies reduced to nothing but dust.
Xiao You's eyes widened in fury as he shouted, "All disciples of the Suspended King Sword Sect, retreat immediately to a safe distance!"
With Xiao You's command, those who had been hesitant finally took flight towards safety.
Yet, the Suspended King Sword Sect was one of the Four Major Powers of the Inner Domain, and its disciples were numerous.
In addition, many disciples were still in Seclusion.
However, before they could comprehend what had happened, they were directly buried in the ruins or swept away by terrifying energy, turning into nothingness.
Xiao You's gaze fell upon the imposing Sikong Shan, whose entire being was enveloped in Celestial Light. The expression on his face was incredibly complex at that moment.
He had initially thought that Sikong Shan and Jin Shan coming from the Lower Realm would be a great fortune for them at the Suspended King Sword Sect, allowing the sect to rapidly strengthen its power once again.
Yet now it seemed that their arrival had instead become a disaster for the Suspended King Sword Sect.
Countless sect buildings were destroyed in an instant, and numerous innocent disciples perished.
"Boom!"
After another violent clash, a dazzling Celestial Diagram suddenly appeared behind Sikong Shan.
On the Celestial Diagram, Celestial Light shone brilliantly, with incomparably radiant Dao Characters floating above it, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
At the same time, swords of celestial origin flew directly from his body, instantly surrounding the Celestial Diagram.
Even the sword he had previously summoned now hovered above the Celestial Diagram as well.
In total, there were twelve swords, seemingly merging with the Celestial Diagram behind him.
The flow of great principles surged forth, and an overwhelming pressure filled the air.
Sikong Shan fixed his gaze on Ye Fan, no longer harboring the previous contempt. Instead, his expression turned solemn as he said, "I must admit, you are indeed very strong. Though you have not yet reached the realm of immortality, your strength is remarkable. It is rare to find someone like you; even among the prodigies in the Upper Realm, they would likely pale in comparison to you."
"So what?" Ye Fan asked, looking towards the Celestial Diagram behind Sikong Shan. He sensed the overwhelming power emanating from it and noticed that Sikong Shan was not in a hurry to attack.
Sikong Shan replied, "I am giving you an opportunity."
"An opportunity?" Ye Fan chuckled. "Are you saying you're offering me a chance to live?"
Sikong Shan nodded, unashamedly acknowledging it. "That is one of the options."
This surprised Ye Fan a bit, and he curiously asked, "Then do tell."
Sikong Shan continued, "Swear by the Heavenly Dao and join my Suspended King Sword Sect. Once you ascend to the Upper Realm, I will personally recommend you for entry into the Suspended King Sword Sect. With your extraordinary strength and talent, once you join us, you will surely receive focused training and may very well become a high-ranking member of our sect in the future."
"Even the Sect Master might take you as a disciple, allowing you to soar to great heights."
Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded seriously and said, "That sounds quite appealing!"
Sikong Shan added, "However, I have one condition."
Before Ye Fan could respond, Sikong Shan's gaze shifted directly to Nangong Xuandie, who was floating in the distance alongside Wuma Xian'er. He pointed at her with a domineering tone and declared, "Hand her over to me."
