Chapter 688: Chapter 687 Ye Xuan is Dead

"Heaven and Earth Treasures are always for the capable. Who do you think you are, declaring that the treasure is yours just because you say so?"

Xiao Peng Wang sneered, mercilessly ridiculing the Fierce Sun Saint.

The numerous disciples of the Six Demon Sect also began laughing derisively.

Between the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect and the Six Demon Sect, there was no small amount of enmity.

Add to that the fiery temper of the younger generation, and it was a wonder the two sides hadn’t come to blows upon meeting.

At the moment, mere jeering was actually quite normal.

"I, indeed, am the capable one," retorted the Fierce Sun Saint, glancing sideways at Xiao Peng Wang, his voice deep and filled with absolute confidence.

Having come to the Hengduan Mountains, though he had faced numerous setbacks, they had not defeated him but instead had strengthened his Dao Heart, making him unshakable in the face of doubt.

This, too, was why the major powers of the East Desolate valued the Hengduan Mountains so highly.

Each opening of the Hengduan Mountains, although it resulted in many deaths, also allowed many who survived to become stronger, later rising as formidable beings of their generation.

Only through life and death trials could one become increasingly powerful and solidify one’s Dao Heart to the point of being imperturbable by external influences.

"You’re capable? You’re nothing," Xiao Peng Wang said arrogantly.

"Xiao Peng Wang, you are at least the Saint Heir of the Six Demon Sect. Using such vulgar language hardly suits your status," Feng Dongbing remarked coolly from behind the Fierce Sun Saint.

"A man born in this world who confines himself with so-called rules and restrictions, what kind of cultivation would he be practicing, what Dao would he be proving?" Mu Yiyang, standing beside Xiao Peng Wang, countered Feng Dongbing.

"A person without decorum is no different from a beast," Feng Dongbing replied.

Feng Dongbing’s fellow disciple from the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, also stepping forward into the fray, added, "Feng Junior Brother, didn’t you speak rudely? Isn’t the Six Demon Sect just a group of feathered beasts?"

"Looking for death?"

This insult immediately infuriated the people from the Six Demon Sect.

Everyone in the East Desolation Domain knew that the members of the Six Demon Sect were primarily from the Demon Race.

What they hated most was being called feathered beasts!

Not just Mu Yiyang, but even Xiao Peng Wang was now furiously laughing, "Fierce Sun Saint, do you dare to fight me?"

"Why would I fear you?" the Fierce Sun Saint smiled coldly, a trace of chill flashing in his eyes.

Boom, boom—

Almost simultaneously, the aura of both men erupted to its peak.

The two saints looked ready to come to blows.

Many onlookers frowned quietly at this.

The treasure hadn’t even surfaced yet, and these two saints were already about to fight?

"Brother Tian, what should we do? Our targets are numerous..."

At Giant Spirit Valley, Giant Spirit Hao saw so many people and couldn’t help but frown.

Giant Spirit Changtian was the tallest, and even the two mutant beasts that had appeared were mere trifles before him.

They lurked in the dense forest, quietly discussing their strategies.

Giant Spirit Changtian, maintaining a calm demeanor, looked toward the distant yet dormant volcano and slowly said, "No matter what, we must obtain the Giant Spirit Holy Blood. Later, you all go together with Xiao Shan to strive for it. As for the enemies, leave them to me."

"Brother Tian, I want to stay with you," said Giant Spirit Hao earnestly.

Giant Spirit Changcun and the others also fixed their gaze on Giant Spirit Changtian, evidently wishing to join the fight.

"Who will protect Xiao Shan then?" Giant Spirit Changtian countered.

"Xiao Shan’s physique might not have awakened, but his strength isn’t weaker than Brother Tian’s," said Giant Spirit Changcun hesitantly.

Giant Spirit Changtian glared at Giant Spirit Changcun and said, "How old is Xiao Shan? If something were to happen, who among us could bear the responsibility?"

At that, no one argued further.

Indeed, Giant Spirit Mountain was of extraordinary importance to the Giant Spirit Clan.

If anything were to happen to Giant Spirit Mountain, the Giant Spirit Clan could not hope to restore its glory.

That responsibility was not something they could afford to bear.

"By the way, Brother Tian, is it really the Giant Spirit Holy Blood inside?" suddenly asked Giant Spirit Hao.

The others also turned their gaze toward Giant Spirit Changtian.

Truthfully, they did not have much understanding of the place, merely following orders to come here and compete for the Giant Spirit Holy Blood.

Yet they had no idea if this was indeed the Giant Spirit Holy Blood.

Upon hearing this, Giant Spirit Changtian pondered for a moment before saying, "According to the elders, this is the only place left. If it’s not here, we’ll have to return and report back."

In fact, as for the real Giant Spirit Holy Blood, who knew where it was?

It was merely speculated by the elders of the clan that the Giant Spirit Holy Blood would appear in the Hengduan Mountains, and that was why they had come.

"If it isn’t so..." Giant Spirit Hao looked toward the nearby Giant Spirit Mountain, but didn’t finish his sentence.

They all understood clearly.

If there was no Giant Spirit Holy Blood, then the Giant Spirit Saint Body of the Giant Spirit Mountain would scarcely be of much use, and Giant Spirit Valley would seal it away until the Giant Spirit Holy Blood appeared.

But this was very unfair to the Giant Spirit Mountain.

In their eyes, Giant Spirit Mountain was their younger brother.

When they were children, they all had elder protection and could play carefree.

They thought Little Mountain should have the same.

But because of the Giant Spirit Saint Body, these things seemed far from Little Mountain.

Only this time, coming to Hengduan Mountain, had allowed Little Mountain to free his spirit.

At home, he had to study vast amounts of knowledge every day and needed to cultivate various ancient Giant Spirit Techniques.

Frankly, they, as older brothers, felt this pain in their hearts.

Although Giant Spirit Mountain was young, his strength was already no less than Giant Spirit Changtian, but the effort he had put in was also unimaginable to ordinary people.

As older brothers, they would rather not have these.

But as members of the Giant Spirit Clan, they knew there was no other way.

Because Little Mountain was the Giant Spirit Saint Body, this meant he must bear the hopes of the Giant Spirit Clan.

This must be what an ancient great being of the Human Clan once said: "Unsatisfactory events are most common, but shared only with a few."

The hardships of the human world were probably just so.

But they still hoped Little Mountain would become stronger, for only by becoming stronger could he control his own fate.

At that time, there would be nothing to fear.

Therefore, they must seize the treasures of this occasion.

"You arrived quite fast?"

Meanwhile, people from Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Medicine Pavilion, and Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect had all hurried to this place.

Seeing so many people at the scene, Eighth Prince couldn’t help but smile lightly and spoke slowly.

"They have also come..."

Seeing these three Overlords descend at the same time, many cultivators felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The competition for the treasures was already extremely difficult, and now that these three Overlords had also arrived, it would probably be tough to vie for them.

"What about Ye Xuan?"

People like Long Aotian and Long Chen from Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family approached, and Long Aotian immediately asked about it.

"Ye Xuan is dead," Eighth Prince said indifferently.

"Really?!" Long Aotian’s eyes brightened, and he broke into a smile: "This guy, he’s finally dead!"

He had lost face at the Mo family before, so hearing the news of Ye Xuan’s death now made him extremely happy.

"And what about Huang Yue from Mountain God Dao?" Long Aotian asked doubtfully.

Logically, Ye Xuan and Huang Yue were together, so Eighth Prince and the others shouldn’t have been able to act.

"Didn’t see him," Guo Xuan said lightly.

They hadn’t seen Ye Xuan, let alone know where Huang Yue was.

As for the news of Ye Xuan’s death, it was only their conjecture.

Who knows whether he was really dead or not.

Who would know that all Corpse Carriers were ordered not to be enemies with Ye Xuan?

If someone knew this, who would say Ye Xuan was dead?

"Didn’t see?" However, Long Aotian was slightly stunned when he heard this.

But whether it was Eighth Prince, Wei Qing, or Chang Zuhua and others, none had any intention of wasting words with Long Aotian.

If it weren’t for the fact that Divine Dragon Azure Sea Long Family still had some usefulness, they wouldn’t bother dealing with this Long Aotian.

However, Long Aotian, seemingly oblivious to the others’ disinterest, continued to ask, "Then how did you deal with Ye Xuan’s body?"

"Why don’t you go look for it yourself?" Guo Xuan said, not in the best of moods.

Long Aotian frowned, "You haven’t seen Ye Xuan at all, have you?"

Nobody paid attention to Long Aotian, but he came to a realization, his expression turning somewhat ugly, "If you haven’t killed him, just say so. What’s with putting on airs pretending otherwise?"

"I said he’s dead, so he is dead, understand?" Eighth Prince suddenly looked at Long Aotian and spoke coldly.

Long Aotian squinted his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within, but then he laughed loudly, saying, "Good news, good news, Ye Xuan is dead!"
