Chapter 644 – Ganging Up? (2/2)

Yang Ye said, “You mean that I have to win the support and hearts of the people?”

She shook her head and said, “You’re not the Mortal Emperor, so it isn’t necessary to take that path. You just have to stay invincible and ruthless as you are now. Because your ruthlessness and status of invincibility is even more effective than that so-called support of the people. At the very least, no one will dare to betray you while you remain undefeated!”

Yang Ye nodded and said, “I’ve gained a great deal from this long talk with you. At the very least, my objective is clear, and I know what I have to do. Herby, can we be considered to be close friends? Because I feel that you know me better than I know myself!”

She asked, “Close friends are those who know each other well. Do you know me well?”

Yang Ye blushed with shame because he didn’t understand her well at all!

She seemed to have no intention to linger on this topic, and she said, “Remember that everything I said is built upon the foundation that you remain undefeated. If you are to suffer defeat, then it’ll be an utterly crus.h.i.+ng blow to the southern territory. Because everyone will feel that you, Yang Ye, are human as well, and you can be defeated. At that time, the Hallowed Grounds would only have to extend an olive branch and everything we formed with great difficulty would collapse in an instant!”

“Looks like the pressure on me is great!” Yang Ye chuckled.

She gazed at him seriously and said, “If anything were to happen to you, then all those who’ve been following you since the beginning will be buried with you. They include me, the Demon Emperor, and even Elder Mu. Understand?”

Yang Ye’s smile froze when he saw the serious expression on her face because the fate of many had suddenly rested on his shoulders, and it was the very first time that Yang Ye felt pressure weighing down on his shoulders.

Because he didn’t want anything to happen to Elder Mu, the Demon Emperor, Ding Shaoyao, and various others!

Right at this moment, a wave of sweet fragrance a.s.saulted his nostrils, and then he felt Ding Shaoyao hugging him. Yang Ye was stunned.

“Don’t think too much about it. At the very least, many will always be there to support you!” Ding Shaoyao turned around and walked out of the room once she finished speaking. Only Yang Ye who was staring blankly there remained.

“The 2nd and 3rd on the Hallowed Rankings, Xiahou Xuan and Unseeing, have come to seek guidance from the Sword Emperor. Please meet us outside the city!” Meanwhile, a voice resounded through Ancient Domain City.

Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed and turned cold.

Outside Ancient Domain City.

Yang Ye appeared outside the entrance of the city with the ancient sheath in his hand.

“You’re Yang Ye?” The green clothed man sized up Yang Ye and said, “Sword Intent that’s restrained yet fierce. As expected of 2nd level Heaven Realm Sword Intent. You’re qualified to know my name. I’m Xiahou Xuan, an inheritor of the Dao of Confucianism. He, on the other, has no name, and we just call him Unseeing. He’s ranked at the 2nd position on the Hallowed Rankings.”

Yang Ye said, “I thought the Hallowed Grounds would send the 5th on the Hallowed Rankings!”

Xiahou Xuan shook his head and said, “Our Hallowed Grounds underestimated you. Our arrival here today represents that the Hallowed Grounds isn’t underestimating you anymore. So, you and the forces that stand behind you can vanish completely now.”

“Too much talk!” Meanwhile, Unseeing suddenly took 2 steps forward and said, “Take a stab of my spear!” As soon as he spoke, the violet spear in his hand shot off from his grasp like a bolt of lightning and instantly arrived in front of Yang Ye.

Yang Ye’s pupils constricted because his Sword Intent actually showed faint signs of being suppressed by his opponent’s Spear Intent!

3rd level Heaven Realm Spear Intent? Yang Ye immediately drew the Mortal Emperor Sword and slashed. A strand of sword qi surged forward, but it trembled slightly upon coming into contact with Unseeing’s spear, and then it was blasted into nothingness just a moment later….

The violet spear instantly smashed against Yang Ye’s chest!

Bang!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out from Yang Ye’s mouth as his figure flew backward before smas.h.i.+ng against the walls of Ancient Domain City. The entire wall trembled violently before countless cracks appeared on it….

Everyone within the city was flabbergasted!

“Take this as well!” Xiahou Xuan waved his brush in midair, and then an enormous ‘灭’ character appeared in the sky. As soon as it appeared, an aura of destruction swept out, and then the walls of the city collapsed….

“Ganging up on him? Is this how the Hallowed Grounds acts?” Right at this moment, a golden spear tore through the sky, and it pierced through the ‘灭’ character, causing it to explode apart.

A wisp of surprise flashed through Xiahou Xuan’s eyes, and he looked over and saw a woman walking over slowly!

She wore a white robe, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail….

An Nanjing!
