The white-haired youth slowly walked to the front of the two armies, looked at Wan Cangqiong with his unruly expression, and slowly asked, "Are you the wicked child of the Chaos Demon Clan?"
"You bastard? Hahaha!" Wan Cangqiong laughed a few times. He also brandished his gun, pointing the tip at the white-haired youth, raising his neck proudly, and said, "I am the sixth general under the Immortal Su Nian! What kind of bastards of unknown origin are you, daring to speak such arrogant words?"
The white-haired youth sneered and said sharply, "Immortal Su Nian? Hmph! He's nothing but an ungrateful human lackey! Quan Xiu raised him for many years, and he doesn't even know how to be grateful. Does he deserve the title of Immortal?"
"Hahaha! Immortal Su Nian has truly traversed the Immortal Realm Mountains and touched the path of immortality! Tell me, doesn't he deserve the title of Immortal?"
The white-haired youth fell silent.
Throughout the thousands of years of the Nine Provinces Demon Realm, Su Nian was indeed the only person who had ever been to the Immortal Realm Mountain.
He scoffed, "So what? He's still a traitor!"
"Hahaha! Traitor? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!" Wan Cangqiong said sternly, "But so be it! Since you know nothing about it, I'll just use force to capture you! Once you're a prisoner of our army, you'll understand the good intentions of Immortal Su Nian!"
He pointed the tip of his spear at the white-haired youth and asked, "I, Wan Cangqiong, never kill nameless nobodies. Quickly state your name! I want to see if I should use my full strength!"
The white-haired youth sneered, "I am Liu Tianhe, the Sixth Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace!"
"Liu Tianhe?" Wan Cangqiong's eyes lit up when he heard this name.
"Who is that Emperor to you?"
"Hmph!" Liu Tianhe snorted coldly, "None of your business!"
"You won't talk, huh? Whatever!" Wan Cangqiong grinned, stomped his feet twice on his horse, and instantly leaped into the air, soaring into the heart of the two armies. He stood up, brandishing his spear. "I'll catch you, then pry your mouth open and see what your relationship with the Human Emperor really is!"
"Hmph! Come on if you dare!" Liu Tianhe snorted coldly and then charged towards Wan Cangqiong.
As the two clashed, lightning flashed across the dark clouds in the sky. Their battle caused the weather to change drastically, and in the blink of an eye, they were intertwined like lightning.
In the council hall of Seven Star City.
After a long while, a guard hurriedly stepped forward to report.
"Report—" He rushed into the hall, knelt down, and reported, "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor! The Sixth Elder, he..."
After a moment's hesitation, the guard reported truthfully, "The Sixth Elder has been captured alive! That demonic thief said that we must send a stronger representative to fight him! Otherwise, he will kill the Sixth Elder!"
Everyone was surprised.
In just the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Liu Tianhe, the sixth elder of the Human Emperor's Palace, was defeated.
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, as if he had known this outcome all along.
He sighed softly and shook his head. "I didn't expect that demon scoundrel to have hidden his true strength. Although he appeared to be at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the power he actually displayed had already reached the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm..."
"A fifth-stage Tribulation Transcending Body?! This..."
The elders were astonished, and chaos erupted instantly in the council hall.
A fifth-level Tribulation Transcending Body! If this level of strength were placed in the Human Emperor's Palace, it would at least rank among the top three!
And this is only the sixth commander of the enemy's First Army!
If all the commanders of the Demon Clan's First Army are this powerful, then what can the Human Alliance use to fight against them?
"It seems they've sent out a genius..." Ruan Shengtian murmured, stroking his chin.
Seeing the chaos in the council hall, the Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily.
"Shut up! What's all the noise about?! Tianhe has just been defeated, and instead of discussing countermeasures, we're praising others' prowess. If word gets out, what will become of the reputation of our Hundred Sects?!"
Everyone fell silent.
The Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace surveyed the assembled elders and sect leaders with disdain, then approached the Human Emperor and respectfully said, "Your Majesty! Tianhe is exceptionally gifted and of vital importance to our race! I am willing to take on this battle, defeat the arrogant demon race, save Tianhe, and bring glory to our human race!"
The emperor stroked his chin, remaining silent for a long time.
The fact that the opponent had concealed his strength was indeed beyond the Human Emperor's expectations. In his mind, Wan Cangqiong should not be as good as Liu Tianhe.
The Emperor was baffled as to why he was able to defeat Liu Tianhe.
This first move was already beyond his expectations, and Wan Cangqiong's next actions... he found them quite strange.
Now that they have captured Liu Tianhe, why don't they just take him back to the demon camp instead of continuing to clamor for a stronger enemy?
Is it really because Wan Cangqiong is stupid?
The Emperor stroked his chin, nodded, and slowly said, "If you want to fight, then so be it."
The Second Elder of the Emperor's Palace immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"But...you can't go alone. The other side has already captured one of our generals. Instead of killing him, they're using him as bait to lure our clan's experts into battle. They probably have other plans."
The Emperor slowly said, "In this battle, I will accompany you and provide support from behind. If the enemy uses trickery, I will step in to protect you."
The Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace nodded heavily.
"Yes, sir!"
The Emperor nodded, and then the representatives of the hundred sects, along with the Emperor and the Second Elder of the Emperor's Palace, rushed to the Seven Star City Wall to witness the battle firsthand.
However, just moments after the Emperor stepped out of the palace, the steps of the Emperor's Palace became hesitant.
