The Sword Demon Palace's representative confronts the Supreme Ancestor over Ye Chen. Demanding compensation for Ye Chen's disrespect, the palace demands two Great Luo Sword Fruits. When the Supreme Ancestor hesitates, Ye Chen intervenes, swiftly killing the Sword Demon Palace disciple. This act enrages the other ministers and the Supreme Ancestor, who fears the inevitable retaliation from the Sword Demon Palace.

Thud!

The Third Leader knelt down, tears streaming down his old face, and wailed, "Supreme Patriarch, you must present Ye Chen to the people of Sword Demon Palace; only then can our Daluo Sword Palace be saved from annihilation!"

"I beg the Supreme Patriarch to deal with Ye Chen..."

Several more heads of the sect also knelt down.

Li Chengtong knelt as well, his body trembling slightly, and shouted, "My Great Luo Sword Palace has stood for a million years and must not fall because of a disciple from the Outland, risking the legacy of our Nine Major Meridians!

Supreme Patriarch, you must not be confused!"

The Disciples of Heaven’s Pride on the square were deeply shocked to see the Palace Master and the eight heads all kneeling.

They too knelt down but remained silent.

"Is this a palace revolt?"

Liu Yiyi stood motionless, thoughtfully observing the scene, sneering coldly in her heart.

Such a minor Sword Demon Palace scared these people to such a state; it was truly disgraceful.

If this were to happen in Jianyun Sect, it would never be like this.

Even if the disciples of Jianyun Sect shed their last drop of blood, they would never grovel to the enemy.

"What do you know? The disciples of Sword Demon Palace are already dead; handing over Ye Chen won’t solve the problem!"

The Supreme Ancestor waved his large sleeve, annoyed as he shouted.

Ye Yun nodded silently.

The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

The higher-ups of the Daluo Sword Palace feared death... feared the powerful Sword Demon Palace to the core of their being.

It seemed the Sword Demon Palace had no reason to exist any longer.

Ye Yun waved his hand, and beams of light fell across the Daluo Sword Palace.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing?"

The Supreme Ancestor asked, surprised.

"I’m setting up a formation."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, watching the lights vanish then cast a spell with both hands.

Whoosh!

Lights rose and converged overhead, forming a transparent protective shield.

It encompassed the entire expanse of the Daluo Sword Palace.

The Nine Major Meridians were all safeguarded within.

The Supreme Ancestor sensed the formation and was surprised, murmuring, "What a powerful formation..."

"Supreme Ancestor, this formation may protect the Daluo Sword Palace from the interference of Sword Demon Palace..."

Ye Yun smiled gently.

Since he was considered a disciple of the Daluo Sword Palace’s Ninth Spiritual Vein, and the Supreme Ancestor protected him so, he might as well augment it with something nice.

This formation could not be easily breached by anyone below the God King Stage Six.

"Is this formation so strong?"

Li Chengtong was somewhat unbelieving, waved his hand, and a sword light shot forth.

Bam!

The sword light struck the barrier and immediately shattered.

The barrier vibrated slightly but remained unharmed.

"Indeed very strong!"

Li Chengtong felt a chill in his heart and couldn’t help but stand up.

He stared at Ye Yun’s back with anger in his eyes but was helpless.

This grand formation could indeed block the forces of Sword Demon Palace, but this Ye Chen irked him greatly.

His authority as the Palace Master was severely challenged today.

The other eight heads also stood up, examining the formation, speculating in their minds: "How does this Ye Chen have such a powerful formation?"

The Supreme Ancestor withdrew his gaze, sighed, and said, "Ye Chen, you have saved Daluo Sword Palace..."

"Supreme Ancestor, don’t be polite; it’s what I should do."

Ye Yun smiled lightly.

Then.

The two did not speak again, seemingly waiting for something in sync.

The death of a disciple of the Divine Sovereign Realm from Sword Demon Palace was a significant matter, and undoubtedly Sword Demon Palace had known for some time.

After all, such disciples had a Soul Lamp left in the sect.

North Tianluo Domain.

Amongst a foggy, swirling land lies a vast Black Mountain Range.

Sword Qi shuttled within the Black Mountain Range, and there was no living being except for the disciples of Sword Demon Palace.

Sword Demon Hall.

Two indistinct figures opened their eyes at this moment.

Swish!

Sharp stares like swords pierced through the void, settling in a deep, dark hall underground.

The hall was densely filled with many Soul Lamps.

One of them had extinguished.

"What audacious Daluo Sword Palace!

I sent a disciple to ask for a Daluo Sword Fruit, and they dare kill my disciple!"

A tall, burly man in black abruptly stood and strode out.

Beside him, a woman, her face also filled with anger, followed closely behind.

These two were the Palace Masters of the Sword Demon Palace.

The stalwart man was the Sword Demon.

And the delicately beautiful woman with exquisite features dressed in a loose black robe was the Sword Demon’s consort.

Within the Sword Demon Palace, she called herself the Flower Devil.

Moments later.

On the outdoor square, over ten thousand people gathered.

Rumble...

A low rumbling echoed in the void, and a massive whirlpool appeared, swirling in the air.

A pillar of light descended, enveloping everyone.

Rumble...

The light pillar retracted into the whirlpool, which then vanished.

The Sword Demon Palace spared no expense, employing Void Throw to transport an army of over ten thousand directly above the Daluo Sword Palace.

"So fast!"

The Supreme Ancestor looked up at the emerging whirlpool, his expression surprisingly excited.

Never had Daluo Sword Palace daringly provoked Sword Demon Palace, always maintaining their relationship cautiously.

But this time, Ye Chen first killed a disciple of the Divine Sovereign Realm from Sword Demon Palace, then laid a powerful formation.

This gave him a sense of surrealism.

For some reason, he greatly trusted Ye Chen, also believing this formation could definitely withstand the Sword Demon’s people.

Rumbles continued...

The whirlpool spun unceasingly, and a brilliant beam of light suddenly descended.

Within the beam, shadowy figures emerged, forming a terrifying army of over ten thousand.

The light vanished.

The two Sword Demon Lords led a Sword Demon Palace army, hovering like a massive black cloud over Daluo Sword Palace.

The air was heavy and murderous.

"Old Man Qiu, damn it, has Daluo Sword Palace gone mad? How dare you murder our Sword Demon Palace disciple?!"

Sword Demon stood with arms crossed, looking disdainfully.

While in the light pillar, he’d seen his dissected disciple’s corpse, the death extremely tragic.

This ignited his heart’s fury, erupting like a volcano.

The insignificant Daluo Sword Palace, so ruthless as to kill his disciple—

This was a provocation to Sword Demon Palace!

Today, if he didn’t destroy Daluo Sword Palace, his rage couldn’t be quelled.

Before the Supreme Ancestor could speak.

Ye Yun pointed his sword at the Sword Demon and said indifferently, "I killed the disciple of Sword Demon Palace, direct your anger at me!"

"Such an arrogant brat, you’re courting death!"

Sword Demon was furious, thrusting a sword towards Ye Yun.

The thrust was astonishing.

A black sword light, like a black giant dragon, descended.

Boom...

The black sword light struck the formation’s barrier and was forcefully rebounded, then shattered into pieces.

Sword Demon was stunned.

When did Daluo Sword Palace acquire such a powerful formation?

"Husband, no wonder Daluo Sword Palace is so fearless; they have a new Mountain Protection Array..."

Flower Devil’s eyes flickered with icy light, her face cold, sneering repeatedly.

"No matter; with the combined might of our Sword Demon Palace, I refuse to believe we can’t break this Mountain Protection Array!"

Sword Demon sneered, waving his hand to dispatch an order.

Rumble...

Lights flickered.

All the disciples of Sword Demon Palace bombarded the Mountain Protection Array around Daluo Sword Palace.
