Chapter 128: Western Demon Race, Three Refinement Realms

Everyone present saw Leng Yanran exuding a strong murderous aura, whose killing intent was almost condensed into substance, all of them shrank their pupils suddenly.

Unexpectedly, beneath that cold and alluring appearance, the figure that captivated all, there existed such a formidable side! Especially that terrifying killing intent, one could easily deduce that Leng Yanran had taken the lives of at least a few thousand!

This bloodlust can't be obtained through cultivation!

"Fairy, we really don't know him!"

The three wandering cultivators, seeing Leng Yanran so close, couldn't help but tremble in fear. This Empress of the Northern Domain was exceedingly ruthless in her actions!

"Hmph."

Seeing that the three weren't lying, Leng Yanran let out a cold snort. Her figure dissolved into a shadow and reappeared next to Li Yourong.

"Senior Sister, did Yourong make a fool of herself?"

Li Yourong pouted, looking at her sister with an aggrieved expression.

"Where did you hear that? In the eyes of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion, they are all just a bunch of jokes. Who would dare to ridicule our Heavenly Dao Pavilion?"

Leng Yanran comforted her with a soft voice.

"Hehe, then Yourong can rest assured. But Senior Sister, when are we going to take action?"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Li Yourong's face brightened, and she chuckled.

"Cough cough, the Immortal Tower hasn't opened yet. There are restrictions within a hundred meters around it, preventing entry. At least, we have to wait until the restrictions are lifted and the Immortal Tower trial begins."

The Great Elder on the side saw Li Yourong's impatience and quickly explained to her.

"Oh…"

Only then did Li Yourong finally quiet down, sitting beside her sister, hugging her knees, gazing at the Immortal Tower as if she would rush forward the moment the restrictions were lifted to move it.

As they were talking, the second Elder and Li Shenruo emerged from the flying ship.

"Hiss... Sure enough, Saintess Shenruo is here!"

"Saintess Shenruo's lofty and untouchable demeanor truly…"

"Oh well, Liu is rather fond of being regarded with that disdainful look of hers, as if she's looking down on insignificant ants. I wonder what illness I've caught."

"Tsk... it's you again, Fellow Daoist Liu."

With Li Shenruo's appearance, the discussion resumed, and many began to draw comparisons between Li Shenruo and Leng Yanran. Both exuded an air of inaccessibility, but whereas Leng Yanran emanated an icy chill and a demeanor akin to an iceberg, Li Shenruo was like a celestial being untainted by earthly concerns, making her too sacred to be profaned.

"Hehehe, I had heard of the fame of the Northern Domain Empress, and now that I've seen Fairy Leng, her temperament is truly extraordinary."

Just as the crowd was conversing, Tang Wen found a chance and saluted with a grand laugh as he soared towards the mountaintop where the Holy Mountain was located.

However, this statement unexpectedly reached the ears of Leng Yanran and Li Yourong, both of whom furrowed their brows.

This guy really knows how to stir the pot. In their presence, he dared to bring up the Northern Domain Empress! Moreover, he compared his Senior Sister Leng Yanran to that Northern Domain Empress?

"How do you talk, really? If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth, or I'll punch you out!"

Before her Senior Sister could erupt, Li Yourong couldn't help but wave her fist and glare at Tang Wen.

"Huh?"

Tang Wen was dumbfounded, and so were the others present. What was wrong with that statement?

"I am Tang Wen, the Chief Senior Brother of Flying Cloud Sect. I just found Fairy Leng to be exceptionally captivating, so I couldn't help but offer a greeting. If I misspoke just now, I apologize, and I hope Fairy Leng won't take offense."

Tang Wen quickly adjusted his expression, plastering a smile on his face.

"Come closer, and you'll die."

Leng Yanran frowned, her gaze falling on Tang Wen, who was at most a peak Ninth Heaven of Profound Sky Realm expert. In her eyes, he was akin to an ant!

"Uh…"

Tang Wen froze on the spot, his facial muscles twitching slowly. As a prideful young talent of the Eastern Domain, when had he ever endured such treatment? Yet, he wasn't one to ruin the mood any further. After forcing a smile and offering a bow of respect to Leng Yanran, he turned and left.

In that instant, as Tang Wen turned away, his expression darkened.

Leng Yanran had managed to make him lose face in front of all the Eastern Domain powers gathered here today.

The Empress of the Northern Domain, huh? Just a small territory, yet daring to be so arrogant!

After silently rejoining the crowd of Flying Cloud Sect, Tang Wen made a silent resolution. Once the trial of the Immortal Tower was over, he would definitely keep Leng Yanran here.

Even if he had to ask his Master for help, he would bring her back to Flying Cloud Sect. Once back in Flying Cloud Sect, he would properly discipline her!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. No unexpected incidents occurred among the practitioners, as they all adjusted themselves to their optimal states atop their respective mountains.

"Buzz—"

With a ripple of energy, the restrictive barrier outside the Immortal Tower began to slowly dissipate, and the tip of the tower emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire miasma-covered forest. Sensing the Immortal Tower's activation, everyone's spirits were lifted as they prepared to enter once the barrier vanished!

"Hahaha, it seems I've arrived at just the right time. You lot, stop these Eastern Domain wastes. Today, only I shall use the Immortal Tower!"

Suddenly, an arrogant laughter echoed, and upon hearing this audacious claim, the crowd looked up in displeasure. They wanted to see who dared to label them, the people of the Eastern Domain, as trash!

Bear in mind that many prominent forces of the Eastern Domain were gathered here, even the Great Elder and the Second Elder of the Holy Mountain were present. How could someone be so insolent?

"Is that… a demon clan!?"

"People from the Western Domain?"

"Even if they are from the Western Domain demon clan, they are truly too arrogant. Do they really think there's no one worthy in our Eastern Domain?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone was taken aback as they noticed the four figures that had suddenly appeared, each exuding a faint demonic aura. Their appearances immediately gave away their identities as members of the demon clan.

The one who spoke was a young man with a muscular, bare upper body, his age appearing surprisingly young for him to have reached the Eighth Heaven of the Unity Realm.

As for the other three, they were even more formidable, all at the Void Refining Realm. Even the elders of the Holy Mountain and the leaders and ancestors of various powers, who were at the Divinity Separation Realm, had their pupils constrict upon seeing the three powerful demon clan experts.

"Your actions are excessively overbearing. After all, the Immortal Tower is a chance for the Eastern Domain. Such behavior might not be suitable, no?"

Although shocked by their strength, the Great Elder of the Holy Mountain stepped forward to speak.

"Hehe, this young master is in a hurry. If you all are unwilling, you can challenge me anytime. If you lack the strength, then don't try to take the lead. What do you say, esteemed seniors?"

Although the young demon prince addressed them as esteemed seniors, his tone was full of mockery. However, suddenly, his attention was drawn to a captivating figure, and to his surprise, the person was also a member of the demon clan.

Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but gasp.

"How...? Such a pure demon clan lineage. How have I never seen this woman before!?"
