The moment Xiao De appeared, the steward of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had secretly notified the people within Mount Han. However, when he saw the brightening brown light in Xiao De's darkening beast eyes, he knew that they would be too late. He prepared himself to rush in front of Chen Changsheng to defend him and then hope that a response would come from Mount Han as quickly as possible.

This demi-human expert known for both his intellect and his insanity, this proud son of heaven, once he resolved to move, would have certainly calculated all possibilities. Even if he wasn't able to kill Chen Changsheng, as long as he humiliated the future Pope somewhat, he would consider his goal accomplished. However, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was not willing to see this occur.

There might be problems between the Pope and the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, but how could the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets simply stand aside as the future Pope was humiliated on their own territory?

Besides the steward from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, there were also several dozen cultivators that simultaneously reached for the swords at their waists and warily gazed at Xiao De. As for that wandering cultivator that had kowtowed to Chen Changsheng, his sword was already in his hands, his eyes incredibly cold. It seemed that if Xiao De dared to strike, this cultivator would be willing to give up his life to protect Chen Changsheng's honor.

All this was because the vast majority of the several dozen cultivators on the mountain path were humans, and all believers of the Orthodoxy as well.

How could they allow the future Pope of the Orthodoxy to be humiliated by a demi-human?

Xiao De looked at those several dozen cultivators that were prepared to attack, a hint of scorn flashing through his eyes.

His expression did not turn any more solemn. On the contrary, he drew his hands behind his back, seeming to view them all with extreme disdain.

As he did so, his body that had originally not been very sturdy suddenly became a mountain peak.

He gazed over these human cultivators from high above.

He was a true expert, his Star Domain perfectly condensed. He could even faintly make out the line that divided the Divine Domain from the mortal world.

Under the Five Saints and the Storms of the Eight Directions, other than the top-ranked Divine Generals of the Great Zhou, the important figures of the Orthodoxy and the various sects, and those experts on the Proclamation of Liberation like Wang Po, Xiao Zhang and Liang Wangsun, who could be his match?

Wind blew out of the mountain forest, rolling up yellow leaves and bringing along an almost unimaginable pressure.

Whether it was that wandering cultivator with his sword drawn or those several dozen human cultivators ready to fight, they all suddenly realized that they had lost the ability to strike and had even lost the bravery to strike. As for the steward from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, for the first time, he felt an intense remorse for the arrangements concerning this time's entrance into Mount Han.

Why did they absolutely forbid the Orthodoxy cavalry to escort Chen Changsheng into the mountain?

If Mao Qiuyu or Linghai Zhiwang were here, would this demi-human expert still dare to act so wantonly?

Standing in the back of the crowd the entire time, Zhong Hui paled, but his eyes grew fierce and resolute. With a grunt, he gripped his sword.

Zhexiu was expressionless, but his knees bent, and he stared at Xiao De's throat like a ravenous wolf. His pupils instantly turned red as he prepared to transform.

Chen Changsheng stood at the very front, feeling most vividly the intensity of the pressure.

It could even be said that of the pressure being exuded by Xiao De, greater than half was being borne by him.

His expression did not change. In the howling mountain wind, he slowly raised his left hand.

His left hand held a dagger. This was his way of saying 'Please'.

The sword was called Stainless, the sheath was the Vault Sheath, and he was a sword hidden in its sheath. At any point, he was ready to reveal his true edge.

In truth, in both the Martial Exhibition in front of the Orthodox Academy and the battle on the Bridge of Helplessness against Xu Yourong, he had never completely displayed his strength. Now, when confronting an opponent on the same level as Wang Po, an expert at the top of the Proclamation of Liberation, it was impossible for him to hold anything back.

In the following battle, he did not know what the final conclusion would be. His defeat might be foreordained, but he wished to see if he could stab him once with his sword.

The sword sheath contained ten thousand swords—any one of these swords would do.

Alternatively, he wanted to see if he could chop at this person with a blade.

He had comprehended one hundred and eight blade techniques before the broken monolith—any blade would do.
