Chapter 1171: Chapter 724: Star Array, Successive Appearances (Part 2)

"Yu Jian, you’re still so stubborn."

The black-masked figure known as Hei Ming shook his head.

"I told you long ago, the grudges between our Sects should remain as grudges and shouldn’t affect the bond between us. You saved my life back then, and I’ve never forgotten that debt."

"That was because I didn’t know your true identity at the time. Otherwise, if I had known you were the Young Palace Master of Netherworld Palace, I would have definitely stood by and watched, letting the deadly array swallow you whole."

The white-robed youth still spoke with a cold demeanor.

The disciples on both sides listened to the conversation and were somewhat stunned.

They didn’t expect their senior brother (Young Palace Master) to know the leader on the opposite side, and judging by their words, it seemed there was a deep entanglement.

"Regardless, I owe you my life, and I will always remember this debt, Brother Yu Jian. I have a proposal—why don’t our two families join forces and explore that secret realm together?

If we acquire any treasure, we’ll split it sixty-forty, with your Sky-breaking Sword Sect getting sixty. You can also have the first pick of any treasure or fortune. How about it?"

In the face of the white-robed youth’s indifference, Hei Ming remained unfazed, proposing earnestly instead.

"I get sixty and you forty? How can you call the shots for your Netherworld Palace?" The white-robed youth mocked.

"Of course," Hei Ming replied coolly, "I am fully in charge of this expedition to the secret realm, so naturally, I am the one calling the shots."

Behind Hei Ming, all the figures in black robes stood upright, none speaking, as if consenting to his words.

"Too bad I don’t trust you. You negotiate with a tiger, and I’m afraid that just when we obtain the treasure, it’ll be the moment when you insidious people stab us in the back."

Though Hei Ming’s tone seemed sincere, the white-robed youth didn’t believe a word, chuckling instead.

"Brother Yu Jian, there’s no need to be like that..."

Just as Hei Ming was about to persuade further, suddenly, a loud laugh resonated.

"Brother Hei Ming, since the others aren’t willing, why persist in smoothing a cold face? I have a proposal. How about an alliance between your Netherworld Palace and our Black and White Temple?"

With the roar of a rough voice, another streak of light flew in from afar.

When the light stopped, it revealed a Flying Boat characterized by stark black and white contrasts.

On the boat stood a group clad in Black and White Taoist Robes.

Leading the group was a tall and burly figure.

Though clad in a Daoist robe, his chest was bare, with a string of human skull beads hanging before him.

He seemed scarcely like a legitimate cultivator, exuding an intense evil aura instead.

And the figures behind him, each exuded a strange and sinister aura.

"It’s the people from the Black and White Temple!"

The disciples of the Sky-breaking Sword Sect were once again shocked.

At the same time, their faces showed even more apprehension.

The Black and White Temple, at first glance, might seem like a Righteous Sect.

But only those who know them well understand just how malevolent this Sect is.

One could say that the cultivators from the Black and White Temple are more evil than the assassins and demons of the Netherworld Palace.

The assassins of the Netherworld Palace kill with their principles, only acting when rewards are offered.

Without treasures or Spirit Stones, no matter how much you plea, they would dismissively ignore it.

But the people of the Black and White Temple are different; they kill based purely on whim, never adhering to rules.

If you provoke them or hinder them, you are almost certainly doomed.

Moreover, these sinister individuals are extremely bloodthirsty and ruthless once they make a move, being completely evil.

"Tu Shan the Demon, I didn’t expect you to come as well."

The white-robed youth saw the people from the Black and White Temple arrive, a cold aura arising from his body.

Especially when his gaze fell on the string of human skulls on Tu Shan the Demon’s chest, a murderous intent appeared.

It was said that this string of human skulls was refined by Tu Shan the Demon with the skulls of eighteen infants early in his cultivation journey.

Now seeing those tender skulls, the white-robed youth understood that the rumors were likely true, and a wave of murderous intent surged within him.

"Such intense Evil Qi, Yu Jian, are you intending to make a move against me?"

The white-robed youth did not hide his murderous intent. With Tu Shan’s cultivation, he naturally sensed it at once.

Yet, he was unfazed, grinning instead.

"Indeed, each of your Black and White Temple’s demonic ways should be condemned and eliminated by all."

"Well then, condemned and eliminated by all it is. I’m standing right here; try making a move?" Tu Shan provocatively challenged, "I’d love to see for myself what makes your Sky-breaking Sword Sect’s Sword Dao so exceptional."

The cold gleam in the white-robed youth’s eyes intensified, his aura surged, and a terrifying Sword Intent erupted from him.

Indeed, he intended to act against Tu Shan.

But at that moment, a coquettish voice suddenly chimed in.

"Hehe, all my dear brothers arrived so quickly, without waiting for me."

A voice full of allure, causing everyone’s heart to flutter involuntarily.

Accompanied by this beguiling voice, yet another streak of light flew in.

Upon stopping, it revealed a pink Flying Boat.

On the boat stood a group of figures, both men and women, each exceptionally beautiful.

Their very presence exuded a charm and allure.

Particularly the leading woman, a stunning beauty standing barefoot, draped in light peach gauze, dressed rather skimpily.

Her every frown, and smile seemed infused with endless charm, making one unable to look away, their Heart and Spirit trembling.

A certain impulse arose to bow down before her, allowing her to trample upon them at will.

Fortunately, everyone present was of profound cultivation, Great Powers of the Primordial Spirit Realm with steadfast Dao hearts.

Upon realizing this, they quickly guarded their Heart and Spirit, dispelling the surge of impulse.

Nonetheless, several in the realm of the Primordial Spirit felt some fear, marveling at her power within.

And being thus interrupted, the fight between the white-robed youth and Tu Shan could not proceed.

Because they recognized the newcomer’s identity — people from the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal.

The one in the lead was the current Holy Daughter of the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal, Peach Fairy.

The otherworldly techniques of the Pavilion of the Enchanting Immortal were incredibly strange, capable of subtly manipulating hearts and minds, as they had just demonstrated.

So, even the white-robed youth knew now was not the time to clash, lest they exploit the situation’s vulnerability.

No matter how strong his killing intent toward Tu Shan was, he restrained for the moment.

"Dear brothers, the secret realm has not yet appeared, why are you all at each other’s throats here? If you were to fight, it might unintentionally trigger the array mechanisms in the Silent Extinction Star Sea, so what then?

If there’s any displeasure, perhaps I could host a banquet to invite you all over, to quell your tempers?"

Peach Fairy coquettishly attempted to mediate.

Her voice swirled enchantingly, seemingly possessing some strange soothing power, even moderating the killing intent in the white-robed youth’s heart.

As for the coarse Tu Shan, it goes without saying — his eyes filled with malicious light, fixating on the half-revealed skin of Peach Fairy.

"Haha, since she invites, how could we refuse? When you host the banquet, I will certainly be the first to arrive!"

"To drink Peach Fairy’s wine would be a great honor for us," Hei Ming also nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for your kindness, but our Sky-breaking Sword Sect has always walked our own path, so there’s no need for us to attend the banquet." But the white-robed youth declined plainly.

"Hmph, pretending to be upright, you truly live up to a hypocritical righteous man." Tu Shan sneered disdainfully.

"It’s said that Brother Yu Jian is forthright, with a Sword Heart as clear and unblemished as a mirror. Today upon meeting, indeed it proves true. To stand unmoved before this enchanting Peach Fairy, I am impressed."

At that moment, a clear, cold voice sounded again.

Following it, a cyan streak of light flew in from afar, ultimately manifesting into a Flying Boat resembling green bamboo.

Standing on the boat were multiple figures, each with a unique presence, yet exuding a sense of tranquility all the same.

In the very front stood a woman in green, with bright eyes and lovely teeth, possessing unmatched beauty.

"The people of Kongming Valley are here too!"

Everyone felt a stir within their hearts.
