The Heavenly Emperor's seat should have fallen far behind, but the Yuwen Clan and the Hai Sha Gang had no time to pay attention to it, as they had already ridden away to catch up with Fu Junzhuo and Yang Xuyan.

He was not alone; a dozen or so disciples and followers chased after him to bolster his morale.

Even if his disciples and subordinates did not return, the Heavenly Emperor Xi Ying was not afraid.

There are only three people on the other side.

Shi Qingxuan, Hou Xibai, and this arrogant guy who dared to try and take my life.

"Boy, don't think that just because you've ambushed and injured my horse, you can hurt me. I've roamed the martial world of the Sui Dynasty for decades, and there are very few who can fight me to a draw."

"You've seen it today, I'm one of them, but not in a draw, but in defeating you and killing you."

"How arrogant."

Tianjun Xi Ying sneered at Shi Qingxuan: "Miss Qingxuan, if you want to avenge Yue Shan, you should find someone decent. You brought over an arrogant brat just because he's handsome? Good looks don't mean high martial arts skills."

Shi Qingxuan's eyes sparkled, her spirits high, showing that she had fully trusted Lin Bufan's abilities.

She found Tianjun Xi Ying's various sarcastic remarks rather amusing.

"Heavenly Lord, you should worry about yourself. You Niaojuan has already been killed by Young Master Lin. Today it's your turn."

"What? You Niao is dead?"

Upon hearing this, Tianjun Xi Ying was shocked and his expression immediately turned solemn.

Upon closer examination, Lin Bufan revealed that this young man possessed a restrained aura, a true master who kept a low profile.

It turns out he was also a master of the Earth Realm.

"Hmph, so what if you're in the Earth Realm? I'm also in the Earth Realm, late stage."

Tianjun Xi Ying, trying to bolster his own prestige, looked down on Lin Bufan: "You think you're so great for killing a mid-stage Earth Realm cultivator like You Niao Juan?"

Lin Bufan put one hand behind his back, leaving Tianjun Xi Ying with the other, intending to kill him by destroying his spirit: "Successor of the Dao of Extinction of Emotions, I can give you a fair way to die."

"Give me one hand? That's too arrogant."

Tianjun Xi Ying's eyes widened in fury. Taking the initiative, he immediately attacked Lin Bufan, shouting, "Purple Qi Heavenly Net!"

"I also have the Purple Cloud Divine Skill." Lin Bufan also made a move.

It uses the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

Nearly three hundred years of internal energy were accumulated in the Zixia Divine Skill, causing it to unleash its full power.

The two clashed, their bodies radiating bursts of purple energy that rose three zhang high and mingled together.

It was impossible to distinguish which purple aura belonged to Tianjun Xiying and which belonged to Lin Bufan.

The two were completely enveloped in purple aura, their figures concealed and indistinct from the outside; only the sounds of fists and palms clashing could be heard.

"This young master Lin is truly remarkable; he is evenly matched with the Heavenly Lord."

Hou Xibai smiled easily. It seemed that Miss Qingxuan had made a friend who was a master.

"Miss Qingxuan, congratulations! You have avenged Senior Yue Shan."

"The battle is not yet over, so it is too early to congratulate you."

Shi Qingxuan remained vigilant.

Tianjun Xi Ying said something right: You Niao Juan was only at the mid-stage of the Earth Realm, ranking last among the eight great masters of the Demonic Sect. Although his death was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Young Master Lin is highly skilled in martial arts and can kill someone in the mid-stage of the Earth Realm. It would probably take him quite a bit of effort to kill someone in the late-stage of the Earth Realm.

Outside the battle zone, a dozen or so members of the Extinction of Emotions Sect were also watching from the sidelines.

Shi Qingxuan, her murderous intent rising, asked Hou Xibai, "Young Master, are you going to steal the Longevity Scripture, or will you help me kill these people?"

Hou Xibai said with a smile, "I can't beat either Senior Brother or Yuwen Huaji. Going there would only be for watching the show. You should help Miss Qingxuan deal with the minions. Remember to repay the favor."

“No problem.” Shi Qingxuan already owed Lin Bufan a favor, so she didn’t care about owing Hou Xibai as well.

Hou Xibai rolled up his sleeves, ready to get down to business.

The disciples of the Extinction of Emotions sect were ashen-faced, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans appearing on their foreheads.

Because Hou Xibai is also above the Grandmaster level, one of Shi Zhixuan's most outstanding disciples, with an elegant and refined demeanor, unparalleled in the world.

In reality, he is the leader of the Flower Sect, a ruthless and vicious demon.

Both the Extinction of Emotions Sect and the Flower Sect are demonic sects, and they frequently interact with each other; who doesn't know Hou Xibai?

Master was being harassed and held back by Hou Xibai, who wanted to kill them. How could such a small group of people resist him?

"Don't come any closer!"

The members of the Extinction Path trembled with fear. "The Heavenly Lord will kill that brat soon. If you dare to lay a hand on us, we..."

A burst of dragon-slaying blade energy suddenly erupted from the purple aura.

A huge arc of golden light swept across the neck of the disciple of the Extinction of Emotions Sect.

More than a dozen people had their throats slit and collapsed to the ground dead.

Lin Bufan had already made his move before Hou Xibai did.

Lin Bufan's voice came from within the purple mist: "Miss Qingxuan, you can only owe me a favor, you don't need to owe anyone else a favor."

Shi Qingxuan was taken aback, thinking to herself: What an overbearing Young Master Lin! He even cares about the favors I owe to my friends. If I marry him in the future, I'll be completely controlled by him.

Just as this thought came to mind, Shi Qingxuan was startled by the sudden idea.

What am I thinking? How could I have such an absurd idea as marrying him?

Although Young Master Lin is highly skilled in martial arts, and I feel safe with him these days, we are still not familiar with each other.

Shi Qingxuan quickly nipped the thought of "shame" in the bud and stopped her wild thoughts. She said to Lin Bufan, "Young Master Lin, please rest assured. As long as you kill the Heavenly Lord, I will give you the Undying Seal Scroll and the incomplete scroll of the Sun-Changing Technique."

"That would be best. I hope Miss Qingxuan will keep her word."

Lin Bufan gathered his purple aura and emerged from the purple mist.

When the purple aura dissipated, a corpse was found on the ground.

Who else could it be but the Heavenly Emperor Xi Ying?

Shi Qingxuan was thrilled and quickly went to examine the Heavenly Lord's mouth and nose.
