Chapter 345: Killing a Few Wicked Beasts, I'm a Little Late, Sorry! (4k3)



The Phoenix nestles in the Paulownia Forest of the South China Sea, while the Dragon Clan resides in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

Thus, the chosen location for the alliance between the two clans is at the junction of these two seas.

The Boundless Star Islands.

Situated at the border of the East and South China Seas, it is an archipelago adorned with stars.

The largest island spans ten thousand miles, while the smallest measures a hundred miles, and there are countless thousands of them.

The marriage between the Dragon and Phoenix Clans is a significant event in the long history of the Spirit Ruins Realm, a rare occasion.

Since the invitation was sent out by the two clans, inviting all from the four directions, countless powerful beings have arrived over the past month.

This has transformed the once quiet and desolate Boundless Star Islands into a bustling place during this period.

At this moment, in the sea thousands of miles away from the Boundless Star Islands, ripples suddenly appeared in the void.

Then, a figure clad in a golden-patterned black robe stepped out of the void, treading on the empty space above the sea surface.

Qin Zheng, with his hands behind his back, maintained a calm demeanor, his gaze fixed on the archipelago thousands of miles away.

After sending off the Dragon Clan's envoy, Ouerlie, Qin Zheng didn't linger but headed straight to the grand feast.

Knowing there might be tigers in the mountains, he still chose to venture there!

H

After successfully advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm, even Qin Zheng couldn't estimate his own strength.

Moreover, with the tempering of the Thunder Tribulation, he had further improved, but whether he could contend with those above the Celestial Immortal realm, Qin Zheng wasn't sure yet.

However, at this moment in the Celestial Immortal realm, he was confident in his invincibility!

Therefore, even though he knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Clans had specifically invited him to their grand feast, there was undoubtedly a conspiracy involved.

But Qin Zheng wasn't the least bit afraid.

If everything went smoothly, he would take Bright Moon Immortal Lord and Zhao Qinggan back to the Human Race.

If any unexpected changes occurred, Qin Zheng wouldn't hesitate to unsheathe his sword and unleash a killing spree!

After all, most of the attendees at this feast were from the Demon Race!

It was perfect timing for Qin Zheng, who had just advanced to the Celestial Immortal realm and was in dire need of a vast amount of merit.

These thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.

Bang!

Just then, a sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed from below.

Qin Zheng looked down and saw a large ape demon leisurely whistling, sitting atop a Black Whale.

The Black Whale was heading towards the grand feast thousands of miles away.

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Boundless Star Islands.

Sun and Moon Island.

As the largest island within the archipelago, it served as the main venue for the Dragon and Phoenix Clans' grand feast.

At this moment, under the hands of the two clans' powerful beings, grand and luxurious palaces rose on the island.

Within one of the palaces, guests from all directions gathered to offer their congratulations.

The main hall was divided into two levels.

The central area was hollowed out, with a stage where enchanting women performed dances and songs.

Surrounding the stage on the first level were many guests exuding celestial aura, seated according to their cultivation level. The higher their realm, the closer they were to the central stage.

On the second level, overlooking the stage below, guests could observe the performance and notice every guest's demeanor and actions.

At this moment, on the second level, the number of figures was far fewer than on the first level.

Only seven figures were present.

One man and one woman were from the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest, while among the remaining five figures, one was Bright Moon Immortal Lord.

The other four, except for a lazy man in an ink-colored shirt, exuded unconcealed demon auras.

All seven figures were top-rank celestial immortals.

Boundless Star Islands.

Sun and Moon Island.

As the largest island in the archipelago, it was the main venue for the Dragon and Phoenix Clans' grand feast.

The other four, except for a lazy man in an ink-colored shirt, exuded unconcealed demon auras.

All seven figures were top-rank celestial immortals.

It was truly nauseating to behold.

And their words were equally brazen, ringing out loudly on the first floor, reaching the ears of all the guests.

This instantly drew a round of laughter.

"All three of you are renowned Golden Toad Demon Immortals of our race, top-tier Celestial Immortals. Are you all vying for a Human Race member, jealous over a mere man?"

"In my opinion, the Human Race's Bright Moon Immortal Lord is indeed quite the looker. Why not have one woman serve three husbands? Wouldn't that be beautiful?"

"Haha, most courteous!"

"..."

Down on the first floor, the demons of the Demon Race were blatantly cheering and jeering.

On the second floor, the three demons from the Demon Race glared provocatively at Bright Moon Immortal Lord, their eyes gleaming with lewdness.

Amidst this, the nonchalant man in black also turned his attention to Bright Moon Immortal Lord with interest.

As one of the few Human Race members on this island, even as a top-tier Celestial Immortal, Bright Moon Immortal Lord was still at a disadvantage.

If he mishandled the situation, he might lose control and face backlash.

He was curious to see how Bright Moon Immortal Lord would react to this public humiliation.

At this moment, Bright Moon Immortal Lord's face was calm and unperturbed, as if he hadn't heard the insulting words of the Demon Race.

Had he managed to endure it?

The nonchalant man in black raised his eyebrows slightly.

But at this moment, the enchanting woman from the Phoenix Nest smiled and spoke, "We can't decide on the intentions of the three Demon Lords, we can only wish them well."

"As for the outcome, it depends on how Bright Moon Immortal Lord feels."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Bright Moon Immortal Lord, and she continued with a smile, "Bright Moon Immortal Lord, what do you think?"

This was pushing him down a path of no return!

The nonchalant man in black sighed softly in his heart.

He couldn't quite understand why the Demon Race, which had been hostile to the Human Race for countless years, would now help them, especially since there should be no grudge between the Phoenix Nest and the Human Race.

Were the Human Race truly responsible for the massacre of the Demon Race and the Dragon-Phoenix Clans in the Spirit Ruins?

The man was the Ink Jade Qilin who had escorted his juniors to the Spirit Ruins.

At this moment, a figure clad in golden-patterned black robes, wielding a Flame Enveloped Great Saber, suddenly appeared in his mind.

But before he could process this thought, Bright Moon Immortal Lord, who had been sitting upright with dignified grace, finally reacted.

She slowly swept her gaze over the three demons, then across the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest couple, finally settling on the Phoenix Nest woman's face.

"I cannot accept the intentions of the three Demon Lords."

Bright Moon Immortal Lord responded first.

Then, with a smile, she said gently, "It's true that Princess Three's beauty surpasses mine by tenfold."

"If you agree, the three Demon Lords will surely be overjoyed, and it will be a wonderful tale between our races."

Upon hearing this, the three demons remained unmoved, but the woman from the Phoenix Nest's face changed slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

The man from the Dragon Palace also showed a trace of anger.

Before they could say anything, Bright Moon Immortal Lord stood up and said, "I'm feeling tired, so I'll take my leave."

After speaking, she glanced down at the first floor, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Where was the demon who had insulted her moments ago, and why hadn't it caused a stir among the others?

But this thought only flashed through her mind for an instant, and she decided not to dwell on it. She took a step forward and disappeared from the hall.

After she left, the hall fell silent for a few moments.

The man from the Dragon Palace smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's continue!"

They seemed not to notice that after Bright Moon Immortal Lord's departure, a toad demon on the first floor also stood up and left.

Outside Sun and Moon Island.

On one of the scattered islands.

Bright Moon Immortal Lord stepped out of the void and into the resting place built on the island.

Only now did her calm expression change, her eyes filling with anger and murderous intent.

It was like this every day!

Ever since entering this grand feast.

The demons of the Demon Race had been provoking her, and even the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, who had initially been subtle in their bias, were now openly aiding them.

She understood their intention—to provoke her into taking the first move, giving the Demon Race a reason to strike.

If that happened, the Demon Race would have the moral high ground and could kill her here!

She had no choice but to endure.

But what puzzled her was why the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were also increasingly targeting the Human Race.

The Dragon-Phoenix Alliance's invitation specifically requested Qin Zheng's presence, but he didn't show up. Could this be the reason for the Demon Race's resentment, taking their anger out on themselves?

Bright Moon Immortal's eyes flashed with confusion.

But soon after, she sighed lightly, suppressing the anger and killing intent in her heart, and her expression turned solemn.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng didn't come!

Among the Demon Race members present due to the Dragon-Phoenix invitation, there was even Phoenix Luo!

She's almost been designated as the Demon Race's eighth Celestial Immortal!

Even the Immortal Slaying Sword, tasked with guarding the Demon Emperor's Palace, stands at the Ten Thousand Green Mountains, deterring any attempts to hinder the other party's advancement! The other party also stepped out of the Demon Emperor's Palace, arriving here!

She was just an ordinary top-rank, and the other party might not even bother to take action.

If Qin Zheng were here, the other party would undoubtedly disregard everything and take action, ensuring Qin Zheng's early demise!

Thinking of this, Bright Moon Immortal's expression became increasingly somber.

The Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest specifically requested Qin Zheng's attendance. Could they be conspiring with the Demon Race, truly intending to kill Qin Zheng? If so, the situation would become utterly terrible.

In the Spirit Ruins Realm, there were a total of eleven Celestial Immortals.

Among them, seven were from the Demon Race, one each from the Dragon Palace and Phoenix Nest, and one from the Human Race, the Immortal Slaying Sword.

Currently, the Immortal Slaying Sword alone blocked seven Demon Deities from the Demon Race, already reaching the limit.

If the Dragon and Phoenix Clans fully sided with the Demon Race, the Human Race would face nine Celestial Immortals!

Could the Immortal Slaying Sword withstand such overwhelming pressure?

As these thoughts spread, Bright Moon Immortal's heart grew heavier.

She only hoped that the Dragon-Phoenix alliance feast would end quickly, so she could return to the Human Race and inform the other top-ranks of this news.

Especially Qin Zheng! She must ensure he goes to the Ten Thousand Green Mountains.

Otherwise, the Human Race might genuinely struggle to protect him!

Bright Moon Immortal's mind raced with thoughts.

And at this moment, a presence entered her perception.

Soon after, a Dragon Clan Celestial Immortal stepped out of the void, arriving at the pavilion where she rested.

In his hand, he held Zhao Qinggan, his body twisted and contorted, like a blood-soaked sack, barely alive.

"A mere Earth Immortal dares to run amok, angering a Demon Race top-rank. If I hadn't arrived in time, he'd probably be dead by now."

"Mind your own business."

The Dragon Clan Celestial Immortal's eyebrows furrowed slightly, speaking.

Then, he tossed Zhao Qinggan aside, not saying much else, and directly turned to leave.

Bright Moon Immortal reached out and took Zhao Qinggan, treating his severely injured body and using her precious medicinal herbs to repair his Inner Universe.

With her care, Zhao Qinggan soon regained consciousness.

He looked at Bright Moon Immortal, then struggled to move his right hand, taking out a wooden sword.

"Immortal, give this sword to you. With this sword, if they dare to humiliate you again, you can use it to deter them."

At the same time, Zhao Qinggan spoke with difficulty.

Being a top-rank's sword, it could exert an even more powerful effect.

Bright Moon Immortal patted Zhao Qinggan's hand and smiled, saying, "Rest assured, I don't care what they say. This is the Dragon-Phoenix Clans' territory, and the Demon Race won't dare to surround and kill us here."

"Focus on recuperating. After this feast, I'll take you back to the Human Race."

Under her comfort, the heavily injured Zhao Qinggan fell asleep again.

But in his hand, he held onto that wooden sword, a sword that Bright Moon Immortal hesitated to temporarily accept.

At this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A knocking sound echoed.

Bright Moon Immortal turned to look, and as the door opened, a robust figure appeared, his body enveloped in a bloody aura—a Monkey Demon.

"Who are you?!"

She immediately shouted angrily.

And then, the Monkey Demon was slightly startled, then said, "Sorry, I forgot."

Soon after.

In Bright Moon Immortal's gaze, the Monkey Demon's appearance changed, and he transformed into a handsome young man wearing a black robe with golden patterns.

"I just killed a few annoying creatures. I'm a bit late."

The young man spoke again, and behind him, there were over ten Demon corpses, all Celestial Immortals.

Bright Moon Immortal recognized several of them, the very ones who had insulted her in the Demon Emperor's Palace!

Today's word count is a bit less, my apologies!
