74: People from the Ancient Imperial Domain

The atmosphere in the arena solidified for a moment; the pressure he carried was immense the moment he spoke, and everyone looked at him with a hint of fear.

Huang Wuji also had a solemn expression and quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then he scanned the crowd, his gaze finally landing on The Elder Host.

Everyone followed his gaze to the elder, somewhat puzzled, wondering if this matter was also related to this highly respected senior expert.

The Elder Host was startled at first, then a murderous intent appeared on his face as he looked at Huang Wuji with some surprise, asking faintly, "How did you know that thing was in my hands?"

Huang Wuji's expression remained unchanged, his tone somewhat sarcastic: "Everyone thought you were an independent cultivator of the Qingxuan Domain, highly respected, and never interfered in the domain's disputes, but little did they know you were the most deeply hidden person!"

"If I hadn't accidentally discovered a secret, I would have truly believed you were without sect or faction, a reclusive expert. Am I right, the inheritor of the Qingxuan Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

Huang Wuji's meaning was that The Elder Host of the Qingxuan Grand Competition all this time was the inheritor of the Qingxuan Sect, which had perished tens of thousands of years ago?

This news was nothing short of astonishing. One must know that the name of the Qingxuan Domain itself was named after the Qingxuan Sect at that time.

Everyone thought that everything about the Qingxuan Sect had vanished into the dust of history, never expecting that an inheritor was still alive in the world.

Mu Yunsong smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and praised, "As expected of the Huangji Sect Master, truly a generation's hero, with such meticulous thoughts. If you truly became the Domain Lord of the Qingxuan Domain, it's hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse!"

"However, since you've discovered this old man's identity, there's no need for you to live any longer."

With that, he swayed and disappeared into thin air.

"Not good!"

Huang Wuji was greatly alarmed and quickly retreated, but he was still a step too late.

The vanished elder was seen clutching his neck with one hand, making Huang Wuji's soul nearly leave his body.

He quickly begged for mercy, "Senior, for the sake of His Majesty, please spare my life!"

While speaking, his eyes constantly sought help from the effeminate Middle-aged man on the giant lizard.

At this moment, everyone in the arena was greatly shocked. Huang Wuji's cultivation was at the Half-step God-Emperor Realm, and in the Qingxuan Domain, only the sect masters of the other major forces could compare with him.

But now, he was utterly helpless in the elder's hands. A glimpse of this showed his true cultivation was about to be revealed.

He was not at all at the peak of the Spirit King Realm; he had clearly reached the true God-Emperor Realm, truly unrivaled in Qingxuan.

Nangong Xiaotian and his group were not surprised by this. From the very beginning, Wei Shengjin had discovered it and told everyone, and only their Chang Sheng Sect on the entire Qingxuan Mountain peak could remain calm.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

A round of applause rang out.

Everyone looked up to see the effeminate Middle-aged man smiling, constantly clapping his hands, as if he had encountered something interesting.

"My origin, I presume you've guessed it too?"

He slowly spoke.

Mu Yunsong, the inheritor of the Qingxuan Sect, who was also The Elder Host of the competition, his eyes flickered with brilliance. After a long while, he said, "As expected, you all come from the Gu Huang Domain, don't you?"

Gu Huang Domain!

From its name, it was not difficult to guess that it was another realm, but this domain name was unheard of, suggesting it was not one of the surrounding realms.

"Indeed!"

"Since you know that we come from the Gu Huang Domain, you should understand the purpose of our visit, right?"

The effeminate Middle-aged man laughed.

"Hmph, tens of thousands of years ago, your Gu Huang Domain colluded with several other realms, attempting to scheme against my Qingxuan Sect, and you ultimately succeeded."

"My Qingxuan Sect was annihilated in a single day, corpses littered the ground, and even the spirit beasts raised within the sect did not escape your poisonous hands."

Mu Yunsong's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he recounted the tale.

The arena was silent. These words revealed the truth behind the Qingxuan Sect's demise tens of thousands of years ago, causing tumultuous waves in everyone's hearts that could not be calmed for a long time.

"But you still didn't get what you wanted. Are you still not giving up now?"

He added another sentence.

"Haha, I like talking to smart people. What the ancestor couldn't accomplish tens of thousands of years ago, let me complete it. I know that thing is in your hands."

That emperor stated with certainty.

While speaking, Nangong Xiaotian was also guessing what that 'thing' was, that it could make them remember it so deeply, with such profound obsession, even after tens of thousands of years.

Wu Kuang's mind next to him seemed to have crashed, his eyes clear, looking somewhat bewildered at the two people constantly conversing in the arena. He listened for a long time but didn't understand a single word. What riddles were they playing, what the heck!

Mu Yunsong also had no intention of continuing the argument, and with chilling killing intent, he said, "So what if it is? If you want it, come and get it!"

In Huang Wuji's terrified gaze, he twisted slightly with his hand.

Crack!

The Sect Master of Huangji Sect, the overlord of the Western Continent, a generation's hero, died so ignominiously.

"Father!"

"Sect Master!"

Several sorrowful cries came from the direction of the Huangji Sect. A group of people with bloodshot eyes watched Huang Wuji's limp body fall to the ground.

Huang Wuji's death, apart from the forces of the Western Continent, did not cause too much of a stir. After all, if it weren't for him, this kind of unforeseen event would not have occurred.

Instead, many people secretly muttered a feeling of satisfaction.

"Pitiable, tragic. You calculated everything, but never expected to invite a wolf into your house. You conspired with a tiger and were ultimately devoured by it."

Mu Yunsong's faint voice echoed throughout the arena.

The emperor of the Gu Huang Domain was not angry that the other party called him a tiger. He himself valued the intelligence revealed by the other party; as for whether the person lived or died, he didn't care at all.

Then Mu Yunsong took a deep breath, his spiritual power surged throughout his body, and an aura several times stronger than Xiao Yiyun and others erupted, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

God-Emperor Realm!

"Is this the God-Emperor Realm?"

Xiao Yiyun and others, feeling this irresistible aura, their pupils slightly contracted, with a hint of yearning in their eyes.

But facing this aura, the effeminate man's expression did not change at all. He lightly clapped his hands, and behind him, three powerful experts, also exuding initial-stage God-Emperor Realm cultivation, stepped out simultaneously.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Everyone in the arena was so shocked they lost their voices. They had thought the one making a move would be the leading emperor, but they never expected that among the group standing behind him, there were experts no less powerful than Mu Yunsong, and more than one at that.

Wei Shengjin's eyes also showed some surprise, revealing a hint of apprehension. He turned to glance at the sleeping gray-white kitten beside him, feeling much more at ease.

If he were to face three experts of the same rank, although they couldn't do anything to him, Nangong Xiaotian and the others wouldn't be able to protect him.

Mu Yunsong seemed to have expected this and was the first to erupt, taking the initiative to launch an offensive against them.

His weapon was a long sword. As the inheritor of the Qingxuan Sect, he naturally cultivated the sword dao. The three-foot green blade in his hand emitted a dazzling cold light. With a gentle wave, a terrifying sword qi locked onto the three opponents.

"Hmph!"

The three opponents felt they were being underestimated and did not hold back, going all out to unleash their respective martial skills.

The attacks collided, and an unprecedented terrifying fluctuation erupted on the Qingxuan Mountain peak.
