"Husband!" Bu Yao dared not let go of Jiang Yuan any longer; she knew that the Holy Lord's appearance would disrupt all plans.
“Jiang Yuan, I will give you the route from the Holy Spirit Kingdom to the human territory. You’d better hurry up and leave!” Ping Xi said in a heavy tone.
“Ping Xi, heir of the Seven Star Imperial Lineage, step forward to receive the divine title!” The shaman gave Ping Xi a wink, his intention clear: he wanted her to bring Bu Yao up to receive the title as well.
I'm so sorry!
Ping Xi silently recited a phrase in her mind, then walked between the two and used her powerful Heavenly Spirit Realm strength to separate their hands. However, as she touched Jiang Yuan's hand, a stone the size of a fingernail was stuffed into Jiang Yuan's palm. "This is a Boundary-Breaking Stone. It can break through the barrier of the Divine Kingdom, and there is an escape route for you inside! This is all I can do to help you!"
"Walk!"
Pingxi grabbed Bu Yao and then, half-pushed and half-forced, led her toward the altar of the divine kingdom.
"Don't pull me!"
Bu Yao activated the Holy Divine Pulse and returned. She could not give up on Jiang Yuan today. She did not give up five years ago, and she would not give up five years later. She could not let Xiao Xiao lose her father, and she could not lose her husband.
"I don't want the title anymore, I just want to go back to Blue Hidden Divine Mountain!" Bu Yao pulled Jiang Yuan and turned to leave.
But she was clearly being too optimistic. As she prepared to leave, a group of men with murderous intent blocked their path, and it seemed that things were not going to end well.
“Bu Yao, you can return to Lan Yin Divine Mountain, but you must return the Gentleman's Sword of Lan Yin Divine Mountain!” Tianyi Mountain Master also looked at Bu Yao with a smile.
"Impossible! My husband drew the Gentleman's Sword, why should I hand it over to you!" Bu Yao said angrily.
"Then it's not up to you!" Duan Lang walked out with a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at Jiang Yuan.
No matter how talented you are at drawing a sword, in the face of absolute power, even if you manage to draw your sword, you will have to obediently hand it back and you will die.
"Nine Revolutions of the Holy Spirit!"
Nine halos appeared in Bu Yao's body one after another. Each time a halo was activated, her strength doubled. She used all her strength to activate the seventh halo, which was comparable to the Xuan Shen Realm.
"Let's go!"
Bu Yao grabbed Jiang Yuan and tried to run out of the divine kingdom, but it was clear that Jiang Yuan wouldn't let her do such a foolish thing.
"Bu Yao, stay and receive the investiture!" Jiang Yuan remained motionless. Even though Bu Yao had reached the power of the Profound God Realm, he could burn his Demon God Body, so he was naturally not weak either.
"Xiaoxiao still needs you to take care of her. What will happen to her if you run away with me?"
Jiang Yuan knew that only Xiao Xiao could move Bu Yao, so Bu Yao's expression changed when he said those words.
"Don't worry, I haven't given you the life you deserve yet, and I'm not willing to die!" Jiang Yuan glanced boldly at Bu Yao's graceful figure, then released her hand and said, "Besides, you should pursue your own things, instead of being bound by me and Xiao Xiao!"
Seeing that Bu Yao was slightly hesitant and not yet determined, Jiang Yuan said again, "Do you remember what you said before? Give me five more years to find myself. Next time we meet, I will give you this answer!"
"Alright, then don't go back on your word!"
After Bu Yao finished speaking, she numbly took a step forward. Seeing this, Ping Xi protected her and led her to the altar of the divine kingdom.
"Serving Heaven above and Earth below, honoring our ancestors and promoting the holy destiny, today Bu Yao, a member of the Sword Spirit Clan, is blessed by our ancestors with the Holy Divine Lineage bestowed upon her, and is specially granted the position of Princess of the Divine Kingdom; if she reaches the Divine Realm, she will be conferred the title of Saint."
Despite the grand investiture ceremony, Bu Yao showed no joy; her gaze remained fixed on the battle below.
"Outsider, even Bu Yao can't protect you now, what do you have to fight us with!" Duan Lang and Cao Xuan undoubtedly hated Jiang Yuan the most, and they spoke up to mock him.
"Of course, I'll take your Sword Spirit Clan's Gentleman's Sword!" Jiang Yuan retorted sarcastically.
The Gentleman's Sword fell into his hands; this was the best mockery of the Sword Spirit Clan.
"Foreigners, you killed my disciple! Pay with your lives!"
The mountain lord of Wunian Divine Mountain has made his move, and he has immediately reached the Profound God Realm.
Besides those at the Profound God Realm, other mountain lords also made their moves, including countless outsiders who had joined the Holy Spirit Clan, including former humans.
"Kill me? Then I'll turn your world upside down today!"
Jiang Yuan was just about to activate Ghost Burial when he felt a mental breakdown as he thrust out his Gentleman's Sword.
"Holy crap, where's my Mark of the Dead?"
He had previously spent nearly ten million Dead Marks in order to integrate the power of the Death series, but he was 100% certain that he had left behind no less than five million Dead Marks. Now, only those Dead Marks that he had deliberately collected remained in the Reincarnation Space, while the other five million had vanished without a trace.
He definitely couldn't use the remaining Dead Marks; those were the Dead Marks of Little Fatty, Leng Yue, and others. He would regret it for the rest of his life if he used them.
"Damn it, burn the Demon God runes!"
He had no time to think. Although the marks of the dead had disappeared, he still had a trump card: the Demon God Body!
The Demon God Runes began to burn completely, and the burning of the Demon God Runes brought forth an incomparably powerful force, instantly bringing Jiang Yuan's strength to the first stage of the Supreme God Realm.
"To lay a hand on him before the altar of the divine kingdom is utterly treasonous! Seize him!"
With the golden-robed envoy speaking, this open and covert struggle officially began. Those who had been hiding in the shadows no longer concealed themselves and jumped out to try to kill Jiang Yuan.
