Chapter 655: Chapter 654 Some Grudges

"Bring her over," the Eighth Prince said faintly through a message.

He had known about Bai Yichuan’s defeat long before it occurred.

After all, Chang Zuhua had told him, even if Bai Yichuan took hundreds of Forbidden Pills, the outcome would be the same.

However, his plan went far beyond that.

Bai Yichuan was just a catalyst.

Whether Bai Yichuan won or lost, it would have no effect on what was to follow.

His real intention was for Bai Yichuan to injure Zhou Youwei, or even kill her, which would naturally bring Ye Xuan to the scene.

If Bai Yichuan made a mistake, then his death was certain.

Because from the beginning, he had Wei Qing give Bai Yichuan several more Forbidden Pills, ideally to the limit.

After taking all the Forbidden Pills and still not being a match, he would die as well.

He would then continue to hunt down Zhou Youwei on the pretext of Bai Yichuan’s death.

He could not believe that Ye Xuan would be able to bear it.

The only thing that surprised the Eighth Prince was the Mo family’s attitude, which was firmer than he had imagined.

In his calculations, the execution of the plan would cause a great deal of dissatisfaction from the Mo family’s side, followed by negotiations.

But when they saw Zhou Youwei surrounded, those people immediately charged in.

"What sort of skills does this Ye Xuan have, that he has earned Mo Yunchui’s protection to this extent? Even risking offending Mr. Lian Long?" the Eighth Prince wondered in secret.

"Eighth Prince, this prince has just received some news," a few young men interjected from within the Floating Divine Tower.

"Long Aotian?"

Seeing the visitors, Chang Zuhua, Wei Qing, and others slightly furrowed their brows.

The newcomers were none other than Long Aotian and Long Chen from the Divine Dragon Azure Sea.

After the previous encounter at the Mo family, the people from the Long Family had gone to collaborate with the Medicine Pavilion, and then made connections with the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

Now, they could be considered allies.

However, whether it was Chang Zuhua of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect or Wei Qing of the Medicine Pavilion, they both actually disliked Long Aotian.

There was no other reason, for the man was just like his name suggested—full of arrogance and often acting in a domineering manner.

Although they sometimes acted similarly, they still had principles in their actions.

So, seeing Long Aotian’s arrival, they were slightly displeased.

The Eighth Prince turned slightly and said faintly, "Speak."

Long Aotian, acting as if he were familiar, directly went to the railing, stood beside Wei Qing, looked at the scene below, and cheerfully said, "Ye Xuan seems not to be here for the time being; Eighth Prince, luring him out might be futile now."

"How do you know?" Wei Qing frowned.

Long Aotian chuckled and replied in a calm and composed manner, "Of course, I had people look into it."

"He would let you know where he is? Why then do we bother trying to lure him out?" Guo Xuan couldn’t help but speak disdainfully.

"Heh, that’s because you lack the capability," Long Aotian said, smiling.

Guo Xuan’s eyes narrowed, increasingly annoyed.

At this moment, Long Aotian seemed to have regained his most haughty demeanor; it appeared he had fully moved past the psychological shadow left by the Mo family’s incident.

Even when speaking to disciples of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, who were part of the East Desolate Ten Dominators, he was quite impolite.

The Eighth Prince said faintly, "If his woman falls into our hands, this prince does not believe he will not show up."

"Hmm?"

But at that moment, the Eighth Prince suddenly twisted his brows and looked down at the arena.

The others also looked there, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

"What is the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect planning?" Long Aotian also frowned deeply, clearly dissatisfied.

They saw that people from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect had entered the arena too, seemingly confronting the Eighth Prince’s men as if they intended to take Zhou Youwei.

"Ke Feiyang, what do you mean by this?" the Eighth Prince directly shouted at the Fierce Sun Saint.

The Fierce Sun Saint’s real name was Ke Feiyang.

In the Floating Divine Tower of the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, the Fierce Sun Saint sat cross-legged, his gaze sharp, staring at Zhou Youwei on the stage, and said faintly to the Eighth Prince, "What you want to do is your business. The Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect has never said it would join hands with you."

To outsiders, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, the Six Demon Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, the Medicine Pavilion, and the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect of East Desolation all disliked Ye Xuan and wanted to make a move against him, so they must be a united front.

But in reality, that was not the case at all.

Firstly, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, the Medicine Pavilion, and the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect were definitely together.

But there were irreconcilable conflicts between the Medicine Pavilion and the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect.

And between the Six Demon Sect and the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, there were also some struggles.

Moreover, the relationship between the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was even worse than its relationship with the Mo family.

The Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect and the Mo family are neighbors, constantly interacting and occasionally clashing, but these conflicts never escalated to the point of life-and-death feuds.

However, the case with the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was different.

Because the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty had once declared that one day he would incorporate the entire East Desolation Domain into the map of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

Presently, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty occupied the southern half of the East Desolation Domain, claiming the most extensive territory among the East Desolate Ten Dominators.

Both the Mo family and the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect were located in the northern part of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty constantly contemplated moving north to obliterate the Mo family and the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

However, they were well aware that as much as they desired this expansion, it was challenging to achieve for now.

First and foremost, a significant threat stood in their way.

That threat was the Mountain God Dao.

As the most unique and mysterious existence among the East Desolate Ten Dominators, nobody dared to underestimate the Mountain God Dao.

The Mountain God Dao’s World Mountain was located precisely between the Mo family, the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, and the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

If a great battle were to occur, it would undoubtedly disturb the Mountain God Dao.

No one dared undertake such a risk.

This situation was well understood by both the Mo family and the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect.

Therefore, despite their common target, it was impossible for them to join forces.

For this reason, the situation swiftly escalated into a chaotic battle involving hundreds of powerful individuals!

Ye Lingzhu, Ye Lingyi, and others found themselves embroiled in the fray.

Fortunately, Zhou Youwei had met up with them, which allowed for mutual support.

In the crowd.

"Supreme Elder, will you take action?"

Lin Feiyan noticed Luo Wenfeng’s frown and couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Wenfeng gently shook his head and said, "After all, I am the Supreme Elder of the Sun Swallowing Sect, which is in a semi-retired state. If I acted recklessly, it would be easy to entail karma, which is also what I have told you, even if you confront someone, do not do so under the name of a disciple of the Sun Swallowing Sect, understand?"

Lin Feiyan nodded slightly and responded, "Understood."

Yet in his heart, Lin Feiyan was incessantly criticizing.

It was not easy to join the ancient Sun Swallowing Sect, and now he was told that he could not reveal his identity as its disciple publicly, and even if wronged, the Sect would not assist him...

Isn’t this basically the same as not joining the Sun Swallowing Sect at all?

Of course, even though this was his thought, he couldn’t voice it out.

If he did, he feared he would be immediately expelled from the Sun Swallowing Sect.

Lin Feiyan, seeing Zhou Youwei and others involved in the turmoil, felt an urge to intervene.

However, when he thought about Zhou Youwei being Ye Xuan’s woman, he felt inexplicably upset and decided against it.

He had already shifted his target, now aiming for the Holy Daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute!

Luo Wenfeng was also observing the situation on the field, his brows furrowing as he muttered to himself, "With Young Master Ye’s temperament, he would surely not fear those so-called Five Dominators of East Desolation, but why hasn’t he shown up yet?"

"Could something have happened?"

Luo Wenfeng was somewhat anxious.

If something had really occurred, he would have no choice but to intervene later.

However, after acting, upon returning to the Sun Swallowing Sect, he would inevitably be confined.

But that was unavoidable.

"Eh..."

Luo Wenfeng’s eyes brightened.

"What’s the matter, Supreme Elder?" Lin Feiyan noticed Luo Wenfeng’s change in expression.

"Young Master Ye has arrived," Luo Wenfeng looked towards the distance.

There, two auras were rapidly approaching.

One of them was indeed Ye Xuan!

The other aura...

What a strange feeling.

After pondering for a while, Luo Wenfeng frowned, "Why does it feel like that belongs to someone from the Mountain God Dao..."

Not only Luo Wenfeng, but many others also sensed the approach of the two auras.

Especially Song Qilin, the heir of the Third Peak of the Li Mountain Sword Pavilion, who instantly detected it.

"It’s Huang Yue, that guy, he’s actually with someone else?" Song Qilin was slightly puzzled.
