On the mist-shrouded cliff, it was now evident that the face of this beautiful middle-aged woman showed impatience.
She really didn't want to listen to the old man say those words; if it weren't for the Nine Nether Demon Lord, if he weren't someone of the Nine Nether Demon Lord, this beautiful middle-aged woman would have left long ago.
Sneering at herself, the old man suddenly called the woman's name gently, "Xuan!"
Upon hearing that, the beautiful woman's brows furrowed deeper, clearly disliking the old man's affectionate call.
Then, the old man slowly turned his body, pointing to the bottom of the cliff, and spoke to the dignified beautiful woman:
"Xuan, years ago, the Sacred Land allowed us to train in the Evil Demon Forest, and I was fortunate to be in the same team with you.
If you hadn't acted in time, I would have been swallowed into the belly of the Snow Fang Python by now!
Xuan, although you may not remember these things, and to you, it may be insignificant, to me, it was a matter of life and death. Your brilliance that day, every night, involuntarily appears in my mind, as if it were yesterday!
Xuan, countless years have passed, but I have never forgotten you! I..."
As the old man was about to continue speaking, the beautiful middle-aged woman couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him: "Sorry, I have urgent matters, I need to go."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman prepared to leave.
"No... don't, Xuan!" Seeing her like this, the old man immediately spoke, stopping her.
The beautiful middle-aged woman turned again and said to him, "Sorry, I truly have urgent matters, I cannot linger here!"
After saying this, she no longer stayed, her figure flickered, and finally left this place, leaving the cliff.
Soon after, the cliff was left with only the old man alone.
"This... this... this..." Staring at a misty scene, gazing at the distant disappearing shadow, the old man's face was filled with unwillingness and loss.
He came from the Sinister Abyss miles away to the Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, always thinking about seeing her, but what he got in return was her cold dismissal.
"Brother Luan!" At this time, another elderly voice sounded from beneath the cliff.
Then, an equally old-looking figure as Elder Luan Wu floated up from below, gently landing beside the old man.
"Juyu, my brother. Ah!" Seeing the newcomer, the old man sighed softly.
This person was an old acquaintance of Elder Luan Wu, whom the old man found in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land not long ago.
Initially, Juyu was shocked by the old man's sudden appearance in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, worried for him, despite many years having passed, for Elder Luan Wu had committed a capital crime against Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land years ago!
Though many from those days still live.
However, the old man soon informed Juyu that he's different now; he follows the world's strongest, the Nine Nether Demon Lord.
This left Juyu even more astonished!
Juyu was certainly aware of the Nine Nether Demon Lord.
At this time, Juyu's eyes also stared ahead at the dense mist, saying: "Brother Luan, that Qing Xuan really doesn't know what's good for her! Brother Luan, your current status, if you fancy Qing Xuan, that's her fortune from a past life!"
Having lived in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land for years with low talent, Juyu remains at the Three-star Demigod Realm, holding a low position in the Sacred Land, thus always harboring resentment towards it.
His dislike was especially strong seeing those usually esteemed figures; Juyu never felt pleased.
The Qing Xuan who was now Third Elder of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land always appeared arrogant, in his eyes, from past to present.
"She is now a supreme Nine-star Demigod realm powerhouse, also the Third Elder of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land; perhaps, it is truly I, Luan Wu, undeserving of her! Moreover, the one she married is the Great Elder of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, holding a high power beneath only one yet above thousands!"
The old man's face showed self-mockery and inferiority as he spoke these words.
"Humph!" Hearing the old man's words, Juyu snorted disdainfully.
"A thousand Heavenly Desolation Sacred Lands can't compare to one Nine Nether Demon Lord! Brother Luan Wu, you are now favored by the Nine Nether Demon Lord, how can Elder Yi Xi or Qing Xuan compare to you?
I say, Qing Xuan is the one undeserving of you!"
"Ah!" Hearing Juyu's words, Elder Luan Wu deeply sighed again, thinking to himself: If only everyone thought like Juyu.
Just then, Juyu suddenly smirked insidiously, again saying to the old man, "Brother Luan Wu, you are favored by the Nine Nether Demon Lord, why not borrow the Nine Nether Demon Lord's hand to eliminate Yi Xi!"
Over twenty years ago, Juyu violated the sect's rules when Great Elder Yi Xi was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, giving him the harshest punishment, executed by the Hall's disciples.
Though twenty years have passed, Juyu always remembers the hatred, secretly vowing to repay that pain and humiliation a thousand times one day.
"How to borrow?" Upon hearing Juyu's words, the old man's face moved, a sparkle flashed in his old eyes.
Luan Wu was never a virtuous character; he emerged from a place like Sinister Abyss, where evildoers congregate.
"Just say that Yi Xi secretly slanders the Nine Nether Demon Lord as brutal and murderous, claiming such evil demon should not exist in this world..."
...
"Roar! Roar! Roar roar roar roar!" Bursts of angry roars from the supreme beast reverberated across the sky above Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, causing the entire Sacred Land to shake and vibrate.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
"Could it be that a great demon from Evil Demon Forest is attacking our Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land?"
...
Chaos instantly erupted in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, and waves of surprised cries echoed continuously within the Sacred Land.
The roar was truly too overwhelming, that sensation descending from the sky too shocking.
Soon, warriors of Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land looked up to see a massive Six-headed Giant Snake floating like a mountain above them.
An ancient supreme aura enveloped the entire Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, causing hearts to palpitate and bodies to tremble.
"That... there's someone on the beast!" Then someone cried out.
Soon, all eyes fixated upon the black figure standing arrogantly atop the supreme beast.
"Who is this? What person dares stand alone upon such a fierce giant demon?"
"The Sacred Lord! The Sacred Lord is here!"
"And the Great Elder, Second Elder, Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder..."
Not long after Shi Feng and the Six-separated Giant Snake appeared in Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land, Leng Yan and a group of strong figures from the Sacred Land followed closely behind.
This was after Shi Feng had ordered the Six-separated Giant Snake to slow down a bit; otherwise, at its rapid speed, they'd have long disappeared from sight.
