Chapter 53 - Emergence of Darkness 3

The servant went to get the Young Master of Sun Moon Divine Hall.

Soon, he returned with a beautiful young man. His brows were as sharp as swords and his eyes glistened like stars, making him look quite handsome.

He had jade-like white smooth skin. But despite his beautiful appearance, he had an ȯbsċėnė smile on his face that he didn't bother hiding.

He had two women on both sides, glued to him. His both hands were wandering over their bodies, neglecting the other around him.

When girls saw him, their expression stiffens for a second. Disgust was evident but they hid it well.

The young man, Ye Xinghan — when his eyes fell on the girls inside, he was stunned. He never thought that he would see so many beauties sitting together.

He had heard that Divine Phoenix's Princess Feng Xue'er also known as Snow Princess was the most beautiful woman in Profound Continent, but looking at the gathered women here, he was sure that every one of them could be considered number one beauty in the whole Profound Continent.

Thinking this, his smile widens.

"It is my pŀėȧsurė meeting you, Princess Cang Yue or should I call you Vice-Guild Leader." He said as he gazed at her with unrestraint eyes.

Cang Yue smile didn't break as she replied, "You can call me anything you like, Young Master Ye Xinghan. Though I would prefer Vice-Guild Leader."

She didn't like him calling her name. If she were to put it in words, then she felt disgusted.

Ye Xinghan didn't mind her words. He was smart enough to understand the hidden meaning behind those words, but he ignored them.

Looking around the room, his eyes fell upon Feng Xue'er. Seeing her innocent eyes, he couldn't help but lick his lips.

"It is our first time meeting, Snow Princess. Am I honor enough to see your face?"

Feng Hengkong, when heard that Young Master of Sun Moon Divine Hall was coming, had Xue'er wear a veil on her face. He didn't like other men; especially someone like him, who ŀusts over every beautiful woman, seeing her face.

Feng Xue'er looked towards her father for help, Feng Hengkong seeing this coughed and answered, "She and also me, don't like strangers looking at her face so can you please not ask that?"

If it was before when they were weaker than Sacred Ground, he wouldn't have said something like this, but now they had Half-Step Divine Realm Expert and Guild at their backing, he wasn't that afraid of Sacred Grounds now.

Ye Xinghan's smile vanished hearing him, but he changed back to his usual appearance soon, "Forget it," he looked towards Cang Yue as he said, "I was here to invite Vice-Guild Leader and her team to explore the dead land with us. I and my father would be happy to have your company."

Cang Yue hearing him frowned before she answered, "I am happy for your invitation but forgive me as I or Guild has no plans to explore the Deadland."

Ye Xinghan raised a brow, "So you are saying that Guild will not bother to check the source of evil. Is it afraid?" he snickered at the end.

Sacred Grounds never liked the Guild, to begin with as it took their position as number one force on Profound Continent. For them, Guild was a fat sheep that they would devour sooner or later — just like Eternal Night Royal Family.

Other girls hearing him frowned when Shea was already ready to kill him. For them, Guild was something Wang Lei has created. It was like another home for them; insulting it was the same as insulting Wang Lei and their home, they didn't mind killing someone for that.

Ye Xinghan feeling girls killing intent had sweat released from his brows. Though he was at the Peak of Sovereign, it was still impossible for him to take six Peak Sovereign Realm experts on his own.

"I will take my leave then!" He said as he hurriedly left the camp. He can't create any scene or it would destroy their plans.

Seeing him running away, everyone calmed down as Shea spoke, "Why did you let him leave, Cang Yue-san? Killing him would be the same as killing a bug for us!"

Cang Yue hearing her smile, "We can't cause any scene before Young Noble comes back. It would not be late if you want to kill him then."

Cang Yue didn't want to cause or create another enemy right now when they didn't know what lies in a dead land. It was better to have one more friend than another enemy.

Though she hadn't known that Scared Grounds were enemies from the start.

Outside, the atmosphere was getting tenser with every passing minute.

Whenever someone gazed at the dead land, they could see black shadows moving from time to time, indicating living activities inside.

Many cultivators have already left to check on the dead land per their sect's orders, but none has come back yet.

This tensed the already tensed atmosphere even more.

Now, most of the sects were waiting for other bigger sects to move. They didn't want to be vanguard anymore.

As they were waiting, another meeting was going on inside the dead land. Since it was covered with dark miasma, it was hard for people to see inside. And taking the fact that it was covering the area of million miles, it was not strange that people didn't know that there were people inside this godforsaken place.

At the forefront of this army was a giant throne made of different bones of Divine Beasts which should be impossible as no such beast existed on the Profound Continent.

On the throne sat a man. He wore simple green robes, his body was lithe and limber, his long black hair was left free falling at his back, reaching his waist. His face is thin and sunken; his features were completely ordinary.

Yet the aura that was being released from his body was enough to scare any cultivator on Blue Pole star — Peak of Divine Origin Realm! If one gazed at his eyes then they could see eternal darkness sleeping there, waiting for the right time to come out.

It was Xuanyuan Wentian! Master of missing Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.

He looked at his side where an old man stood and said, "Are they still not here, Heartless?"

Heartless hearing him bowed as he said, "They would be here soon master."

Wentian hearing him smiled, "I can't wait to take over this world. And once I take over this world, Primal Chaos will be next!" he said.

"Don't be too conceit, Wentain! You still are not strong enough to do that. You don't know the horror of those in darkness yet!" A slightly young voice came from the sword at his side.

Hearing it Wentain raised a brow, "You are saying as if you know them." He said.

The sword hearing him snort, "Know them? If you were alive during the ear of gods and devils, then you would know the true terror of that side. You should be grateful that Gods and Devils killed their overlords or this world would have been finished long ago!" it said.

It had knowledge from the forgotten era that people of today still were unaware of. All they knew was that era of gods and devils ended when devils used one of the Heavenly Treasures, Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.

But it seems that there was more to it.

Wentian hearing him smirked, "They are strong indeed. I won't deny it. They are at the top of Primal Chaos but for how long? Someone would take their position sooner or later. Why can't it be me?" he said.

"Humph! If it was that easy to take them out, then Gods and Devils would have done that long ago." It answered.

Xuanyuan Wentian hearing him become quiet. He knew that he was not strong enough, but it didn't matter to him. Sooner or later he would reach their level. So what if he has to grovel before them before that? As long as he lived, he had a chance to reach the top and he would do anything to reach it.

Thinking here, Wentian gripped his fist as dark profound energy released from his body. Though it was dark profound energy, it had something else mix with it that made it look even more sinister.

'Just a little more…'

At this time, Sword Attendant Heartless said, "They are here master,"
