Martial Master

With one strike, the ancestor of the Long family, Long Batian, was heavily injured. Such a record absolutely shocked the world, causing everyone to feel their scalps go numb and goosebumps to rise all over their bodies. In the previous brutal battle, Long Batian had never been in such a dire state; his right hand was nearly shattered, blood and flesh in disarray, a very sorry sight.

Buzz! The dragon energy surged around him, and he warily stared at Shangguan Xi'er, his face twitching. The dragon energy coiled around his right hand, and it was slowly recovering. "Oh? Interesting!" Shangguan Xi'er showed a look of surprise; Long Batian's healing method was indeed strange. It was a type of bloodline power that perhaps only the true dragon bloodline could possess.

Everyone's faces turned ashen. As soon as Shangguan Xi'er made her move, the situation changed dramatically. Shangguan Gufeng and the Devourer Demon Lord flickered and suddenly appeared beside Shangguan Xi'er. "Palace Master!" Shangguan Gufeng said, feeling guilty. After all, she had failed to complete the task given by the Palace Master.

"A Half-Saint among humans?" At that moment, a heavy voice sounded in the hall, coming from the shadow beside the iron pillar, coldly staring at Shangguan Xi'er in surprise. "Half-Saint?!"

Hiss! The Extreme Mirror Pill Emperor and others gasped in shock, looking at Shangguan Xi'er. Had she really reached such a level? A Half-Saint implied that she was already half a step into the Holy realm, didn't it? "Hmm, it seems this Demon Lord has misjudged. She is not a Half-Saint, merely touching the threshold of the Holy realm. Hehe, it seems that beneath this sky, there truly are no Holy realm experts left. The strongest person on the continent? Hehe!" The shadow, sealed by everyone beside the iron pillar, showed no signs of tension, instead speaking lightly, as though reminiscing.

Then, it looked towards the Devourer Demon Lord, revealing a look of suspicion, and said lightly, "You too must be of the Demon Tribe, right? Why does this Demon Lord find the aura on you somewhat familiar?"

"Ancestor, I am but a descendant, the Devourer. I greet you, Ancestor!" The Devourer Demon Lord was ecstatic, kneeling and bowing to the shadow. Ancestor? The Extreme Mirror Pill Emperor and others were all startled, their hearts trembling. This shadow actually had such a relationship with the Demon Tribe of the Piao Miao Palace. Could it be that their arrival here was related to the Piao Miao Palace?

Everyone felt an inexplicable heaviness in their hearts, sensing something was amiss, all having a feeling of falling into a trap. "Devourer?" The shadow frowned. "Yes, Ancestor, I am your seventh-generation descendant, the Devourer. Back then, you led our Demon Tribe experts into the abyss of the Demon Clan. Although it was unsuccessful, you are a great hero of our clan. I have grown up listening to your exploits, regretting that I could not pay my respects to your grandeur."

"Fortunately, I have done everything I can to find out your whereabouts, and I know with your strength, you could not have perished here. Therefore, I joined forces with the strongest power of the Tianwu Continent, the Piao Miao Palace, to rescue you, Ancestor. We are here specifically to save you." The excitement on the Devourer Demon Lord's face was unmistakable.

"You do indeed carry the aura of my bloodline, but what has happened to our continent? How could you unite with this Tianwu Continent's strongest power? Has our tribe already conquered this continent?" The shadow's face was filled with confusion. The Demon Tribe attacked Tianwu Continent to save their own land, and to reclaim the Demon Continent, they had to harm the foundation of Tianwu Continent, destroying it. Hence, in ancient times, the human experts of Tianwu Continent rushed to their deaths, causing them to return empty-handed.

But now, the first power among humans was actually allied with the Demon Tribe, and they were even trying to set it free; this left it extremely puzzled and unable to comprehend. "Ancestor, we attempted several invasions later on but still failed to conquer this Tianwu Continent. I have only awakened in the last few hundred years. This person is the strongest on Tianwu Continent, the Palace Master of Piao Miao Palace. She took in our Demon Tribe, and it is her design that has allowed us to come here."
