Xiao Zhantian stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, and sighed deeply.
“I previously visited the old team leader Xing Yuanfeng and begged him to spare Ye Tian’s life for the sake of the higher-ups.”
"The old team leader knew why I came and refused to let me in."
"Just last night, the old team leader sent word."
"The five major clans have already invited the Black Fiend Emperor of the Skull Palace to oversee things, and are just waiting for Ye Tian to walk into their trap."
Black Demon Emperor!
Upon hearing this name, both Wen Yue and Tu Sandao's expressions changed drastically, and deep fear was revealed in their eyes.
Black Demon Emperor, one of the three emperors of the Skull Palace, possesses unfathomable strength.
Like the patriarchs of the seven major clans, they were all servants of that important figure.
However, after leaving that important figure, they took a completely different path from the seven major clans.
The seven major clans developed their clan power, becoming the most powerful families in Jiangnan City, standing above all others.
Meanwhile, Black Demon Emperor, along with two other great emperors, formed the Skull Palace.
He walks the dark world, lives by killing, and is cruel and terrifying.
In terms of financial resources and influence, the Skull Palace is inferior to the seven major clans.
However, in terms of combat power, the seven major clans and the Skull Temple are not even in the same league.
In particular, the three emperors of the Skull Palace reached the late stage of the Profound Rank several decades ago.
Even Xing Yuanfeng, the former team leader, could defeat Qi Feng with a single punch.
However, it took two full hours of fighting to defeat the Black Demon Emperor before he was severely injured with a single blow.
This shows just how powerful the Black Demon Emperor is.
Unexpectedly, the five major clans actually managed to get the Black Demon Emperor to intervene.
No matter how strong Ye Tian is, how could he be a match for the Black Fiend Emperor?
But soon, both Tu Sandao and Wen Yue showed solemn expressions.
"Team Leader Xiao, could it be that the Skull Palace is trying to use this opportunity to make a comeback?"
Xiao Zhantian nodded, looking wistful.
"Before this, Ye Tian had destroyed the Skull Palace's mortal forces and challenged the Skull Palace to a duel."
"The Broken Blade Emperor of the Skull Palace has come out to accept the challenge. Three months later, he will have a decisive battle with Ye Tian at the summit of Emerald Peak."
"Given the strength Ye Tian displayed at the time, how could he have alarmed Broken Blade Emperor, one of the three great emperors of the Skull Palace?"
"This is clearly the Broken Blade Emperor trying to make a comeback using this opportunity."
"Now, before three months have passed, Ye Tian has killed the seven clan leaders and brought back the Black Fiend Emperor."
"The old team leader went to great lengths and paid a heavy price to suppress the Skull Palace."
"Yet he alone managed to draw out two emperors in a short period of time."
"If we were to lure out the Skeleton King, the leader of the three great emperors of the Skeleton Palace, Jiangnan would never have peace again!"
Upon hearing the name Skeleton King, Wen Yue and Tu Sandao both shuddered.
The Skeleton King, that's a nightmare!
Others may not know how terrifying the Skeleton King is, but how could Wen Yue and Tu Sandao not know?
Back then, in order to force the Skull Palace to retreat, the old leader defeated the Black Demon Queen on the shore of South Lake, which angered the Skull King.
The two fought for three days and three nights, ultimately ending in mutual destruction.
The Skeleton King was defeated and fled, and the old leader had to step down to recuperate from his injuries, which are said to be incomplete to this day.
If even the Skeleton King were to reappear, then Jiangnan City would never have a peaceful day again.
Only then did they realize the enormity of the trouble Ye Tian had caused for Jiangnan City.
"What does the old team leader mean?" Wen Yue asked, frowning.
Xiao Zhantian's gaze was complicated. He remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"The old team leader said that no matter who wins or loses between Ye Tian and Black Fiend Emperor, he will step in."
"If the Black Demon Emperor wins, he will kill the Black Demon Emperor to intimidate the Skeleton Emperor and the Broken Blade Emperor, preventing them from making a comeback."
"If Ye Tian wins, he will challenge Ye Tian to a duel to avenge his son and rid Jiangnan of this scourge!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Sandao exclaimed in surprise.
"So, does that mean Ye Tian is doomed?"
"Even if he were lucky enough to defeat Black Demon Emperor, how could he possibly be a match for the old team leader?"
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xiao Zhantian's eyes.
"Now it seems that it is indeed a dead end."
"Let's see if he has the ability to turn the tide!"
"If he can even get through this hurdle, then he will truly have leaped over the Dragon Gate and transformed into a dragon!"
