"Jinyun, where are you going?"
When the sect leader saw Immortal Yun wave his sleeve and leave, he hurriedly called out to him, but only received a graceful figure in response.
At this moment, everyone present understood that there was probably only one person who could make both the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord so impulsive.
After so many years of silence, that person has finally reappeared.
Is the world about to change?
...
The Dragon Roar Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a clan skilled in formations; even Demon Lord Luan Hua couldn't break free for the time being.
Just as he was about to make a desperate attempt using brute force, a cold voice rang out:
"Please do not act rashly, Demon Lord."
A woman dressed in a pure black robe, covered from head to toe and adorned with gold ornaments, appeared. She was none other than Longyin Shengsheng, the current Holy Lord of the Longyin Clan and Li Mingke's maternal grandmother.
Luan Hua didn't recognize the person, but her eyes were fixed on him like a hawk's.
"I am Long Yin Shengsheng, the Holy Lord of the Longyin Clan. I greet Your Majesty the Demon Lord." She placed her right hand on her chest and bowed.
"The Dragon Roar Clan? So that's how it is!" He stopped trying to break through the formation and instead calmed down.
“Lord Dragon Roar, I did not force my way in; I am simply searching for my wife.”
Long Yin Shengsheng nodded and said understandingly, "I understand the Demon Lord's feelings very well. However, outsiders rarely enter our Long Yin clan. The Demon Lord has probably come to the wrong place."
"Oh?" Luan Hua raised an eyebrow. "You've come to the wrong place?" He countered. "Precisely because outsiders rarely come in, I should investigate further. My wife hasn't appeared for so many years; she's probably being hidden here!"
Although Luan Hua's statement was somewhat biased, it was largely accurate.
In a sense, Li Mingke was hidden away by these people.
"Please don't joke, Demon Lord. If your wife's reincarnation is truly born into our clan, and given your unparalleled bravery, we would be very willing to form a marriage alliance with you."
Yeah, right!
A man who killed his own wife in his quest for ascension to immortality. Who would entrust their child to such a person?!
"Is that so? Since the Holy Lord has said so, why don't I go in and find out!"
The soul call of Hanjian is in this direction! Although it was interrupted, this area is all the territory of the Dragon Roar Clan, so Hanjian must be on the island!
Upon hearing his words, Long Yinsheng said coldly, "Doesn't the Demon Lord understand? The person you are looking for is not on the island!"
"Since the Holy Lord does not welcome me, then I have no choice but to force my way in!"
Although they were within the formation, it did not prevent Luan Hua from displaying his strength. With a roar, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. A tidal wave surged towards the two of them, and a fierce wind blew the hem of their clothes fluttering.
Despite the jingling of his gold ornaments in the wind, Long Yinsheng remained standing still.
The previous continuous attacks, coupled with the sudden burst of power, have caused cracks to appear in the formation that trapped Demon Lord Luan Hua.
Although Long Yinsheng saw it, he did not move, and silently recited:
three……
two……
one……
Sure enough, when the word "one" disappeared from her mouth, the maddened demon lord suddenly stopped, as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned.
He concealed his aura, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "It seems I have misunderstood the Holy Lord. I will take my leave now."
Long Yinsheng said nothing, nor did he ask why he suddenly stopped and chose to leave. He simply moved his fingers slightly and deactivated the formation.
"I hope that Your Majesty the Demon Lord will soon have your wish fulfilled and win the heart of your beloved!"
As soon as the formation was broken, he rushed out without hesitation.
The direction where Hanjian is located is...
Mysterious Sakura Island!
Long Yinsheng watched the Demon Lord's departing figure, sneered, and returned to the island without looking back.
...
The entire Misty Cherry Blossom Island was under a barrier, so when a powerful force, whose strength far exceeded that of those who did not participate in the Heroes Tournament, attacked the seal, it quickly attracted attention.
"Someone has maliciously trespassed onto the island and disrupted the tournament!"
This news was immediately reported to the upper echelons of both the immortal and demonic realms.
The Demon Lord had fled, and the Immortal Lord was absent; the sect leader held the highest status here. So he reassured everyone and went off alone to resolve the situation.
When he arrived at the attacked barrier on Misty Cherry Blossom Island, there were already two people confronting each other there.
"..."
The sect leader looked at the scene before him and felt a headache coming on.
It's true what they say, enemies always meet; these two are at it again!
"Demon Lord, Jinyun, what's wrong with you two this time?"
He looked like the parent of two unruly children, with a helpless expression.
He realized that Luan Hua wanted to break into the island, and Jin Yun was trying to stop him.
"Get out of the way!"
"No!"
He shook his head and walked between the two men, pressing down the tip of his sword with his left hand and pressing his fist down with his right.
“Demon Lord, this Heroes Tournament is a major event that only happens once every few years. The entire Three Realms are watching. Your actions are probably inappropriate.”
He turned to Jinyun and said:
"Jinyun, you too, don't be so impulsive. By the way, why did you suddenly run out just now?"
"My wife is inside!" Luan Hua said anxiously. "Sect Leader, I need to open the barrier to go in and search for her!"
"Insolence!" Jinyun rebuked, "The Heroes Tournament is the collective effort of the Three Realms; how can you be allowed to act recklessly alone!"
He didn't believe the Demon Lord when he said he was looking for Lin Banjian. That's just how Luan Hua is; he always jumps on the bandwagon. Several times he claimed to have found the person, but each time he returned empty-handed.
He strongly suspected that the Demon Lord was up to something again.
"It's true! This is a serious matter, I must go in!"
He could sense that the soul had started summoning again on Misty Cherry Blossom Island after the connection was severed. And unlike before, it wasn't just for a short while; now it was constantly reminding him of her location.
"Demon Lord, this barrier won't be lifted until after the Heroes' Tournament ends, which is still ten days away!" the sect leader said.
"Let's end the tournament now. Anyway, everyone's skill level is what it is, so what difference does it make if the leaderboard isn't updated?"
He can't wait ten days.
"This..." The sect leader was helpless in the face of the Demon Lord's unreasonable behavior.
Seeing Luan Hua's anxious face, with sweat soaking her temples, Jin Yun realized it wasn't an act. After pondering for a while, he stepped forward and asked, "Luan Hua, did you really sense her?"
"certainly!"
Does he have any reason to lie about something like this?
"Sect Leader, summon the high-ranking officials from both the Immortal and Demon Realms to break the seal!" Luan Hua said to the Sect Leader again.
He couldn't wait a moment longer!
He was afraid that this time, like before, he would come up empty-handed again!
To prevent outsiders from entering and disrupting the Heroes' Tournament, talents from both the Immortal and Demon realms worked together to build this barrier. As a precaution, five exits were left, but the Demon Lord has just discovered that all five exits have been destroyed and are no longer usable.
That's why he planned to force his way through, but unfortunately, he underestimated the seal.
"Demon Lord, it's not that I'm saying anything, but your suggestion is probably..." The sect leader waved his hands repeatedly.
Jinyun glanced at Luan Hua, then at the sect leader, and finally spoke, "Sect leader, let's end the Heroes Tournament early..."
"Jinyun, you!" The sect leader exclaimed in disbelief.
Jinyun is the head of the immortal sects, a role model in the hearts of countless people! How could he say such a thing!
"Sect Leader, please break the seal..."
Suddenly, the void behind him shattered, revealing a long sword. The sword god was surrounded by stars; it was none other than Ta Chuan.
He twirled his sword, as if to say:
"Open the seal quickly, or I'll cause trouble!"
The sect leader felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, unable to swallow it or spit it out.
Why are they all suddenly going crazy?!
But facing the two strongest people in the world who were now on the same side, the sect leader felt he should reconsider.
"I'll go... and discuss it with everyone. This isn't something I can decide alone."
Some things can be worked out!
Having made up his mind, he instructed the two not to do anything reckless, and then ran away in a flash.
Now only the two of them remained.
"Are you telling the truth?" Jinyun asked.
"What?" Luan Hua didn't even glance at him.
"I saw her twice..."
"Why should I tell you?" Luan Hua's voice suddenly rose. "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? What does it have to do with you? Jinyun, remember this: Banjian is my wife. Don't have any improper thoughts about her!"
A surge of anger rose within Jinyun. "Your wife? Ha, that was in her past life. In this reincarnation, she is a completely new individual! She belongs to no one!"
Luan Hua laughed angrily, "What do you mean by this? Are you finally willing to let go of that pathetic past? Haven't you been clinging to the past all this time? Didn't you think you had the kindness of raising her and used that to blackmail her?"
Jinyun's tone was icy cold: "This time, it's fair competition."
"Fair competition?" Luan Hua laughed heartily. "Alright, let's do it your way, fair competition!"
Even in fair competition, he already has the upper hand!
"Jinyun! What do you have to compete with me with!"
