Primordial Divine Emperor

Chapter 577 - 255: Standoff on All Sides, Cast Aside as a Pawn (Part 2)

On the other side, Luo Qingxian listened to Li Chiyao’s words, and her delicate body couldn’t help but shiver violently. As expected, the thing she feared the most still happened. At least at this moment, the expression in Yao Xifeng’s eyes had completely changed.

Seeing Yao Xifeng’s change in demeanor, the first Saint Heir and Saintess of each Divine Sect began to speak incessantly, pressuring the other side to face reality.

"Sister Yao, we only want Ye Xiaofan dead. As for the Empress Inheritance, it shouldn’t exist in this world anymore. Let it disappear along with Ye Xiaofan. For someone doomed to die, it isn’t worth the Divine Sword Sect’s intervention. Of course, if Sister Yao insists on protecting him, then we’ll have no choice but to offend you."

"Saintess Xifeng, we understand. What the Saintess wants to protect is not Ye Xiaofan the person but his ancient and forbidden potential and the Empress Inheritance. However, if he perishes within the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ all that can be brought back is a cold corpse, which holds no value."

The more Yao Xifeng hesitated, the more Li Chiyao and others pressed their advantage, with even Ouyang Qijue directly ordering, "Everyone, heed my command: No matter the cost, kill Ye Xiaofan! If anyone dares to interfere, no matter who it is, they will be killed as well."

Boom——!!!

Following Ouyang Qijue’s words.

Suddenly.

The ’Dominator Level’ combat forces from Divine Maiden Sect, Cyan Cloud Sect, Qinghe Sect, Celestial Sound Sect, Yunlan Sect, Beixiao Sect, and other sects were suppressed, covering the entire area with a vast killing intent, placing the Divine Sword Sect’s ’Dominator Level’ combat forces within a field of slaughter.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xifeng and others turned even paler. Luo Qingxian was even more anxious, repeatedly looking at Yao Xifeng and shaking her head, saying, "Senior sister, no, you can’t, absolutely not."

Luo Qingxian was already in despair; although Yao Xifeng remained silent, her deep silence provided Luo Qingxian with an answer in her heart.

Yet, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

When Luo Qingxian saw Li Chiyao and Ouyang Qijue approaching this side, Yao Xifeng, after a long internal struggle, finally spoke, "Everyone, leave this place!"

The moment these words were spoken, Luo Qingxian fell into complete despair, as if she had lost her sanity, shaking her head frantically in opposition.

"No, we can’t leave, senior sister, fellow brothers, we can’t leave, we absolutely can’t leave."

Luo Qingxian tried to stop them repeatedly. If the Divine Sword Sect’s ’Dominator Level’ forces left, it would mean abandoning that figure, it would mean Ye Xiaofan ultimately being forsaken. She had promised that person she would never let the Divine Sword Sect abandon him, yet it hadn’t been long before Yao Xifeng and the others publicly decided to give up their protection.

In that moment, Luo Qingxian was genuinely panicked. She immediately turned to the terrifying Saint Heir and Saintess of Divine Sword Sect, trying to find a glimmer of hope from them, "Brothers and sisters, Brother Ye’s talent and potential are exceedingly rare. The Divine Sword Sect must not abandon him. I, Luo Qingxian, beg all of you, we can’t leave, we can’t."

However, faced with Luo Qingxian’s earnest plea, the several Saint Heirs and Saintesses who had a voice in the Divine Sword Sect each chose silence.

Seeing this, Luo Qingxian could only turn her gaze back to Yao Xifeng, almost begging, "Senior sister, I promised Brother Ye that the Divine Sword Sect would never forsake him. We can’t leave now, we can’t leave him to face all this alone, senior sister——!!!"

No matter how many times Luo Qingxian tried to stop them, Yao Xifeng remained silent. It was apparent that after careful consideration, she chose to abandon the Sword Saint’s descendant.

The first Saintess of Divine Sword Sect did not respond to Luo Qingxian. Instead, the current Saint Heir of Spirit Sword Peak spoke after a moment of silence, "Junior Sister Luo, it’s not that we don’t want to protect him, but... we are powerless now."

Hearing the words of the current Saint Heir of Spirit Sword Peak, and seeing the expressions on all the Saint Heirs and Saintesses’ faces, Luo Qingxian was instantly filled with despair. She couldn’t understand how the standout figures of Divine Sword Sect present could not realize the importance of protecting that figure?

What Luo Qingxian didn’t know was that the reason for Yao Xifeng and the others’ decision wasn’t just that they couldn’t protect Ye Xiaofan at the moment. The true cause of the Divine Sword Sect’s ’Dominator Level’ forces wavering was the attitude of the sect’s leadership.

In fact, long before Luo Qingxian and the others returned to the ultimate battle, the events playing out around the Divine Sword Sect outside the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ had been conveyed to Yao Xifeng and the others. Now, the Divine Sword Sect wasn’t just abandoning Ye Xiaofan but also the First Generation Sword Saint Dugu Nan, who had been forsaken by the First Generation Divine Sect.

At this moment, in the far reaches of the region, countless cultivators had gathered around the Divine Sword Sect, including innumerable ’Entering the Saint Realm’ powerhouses. They had come to personally kill the Sword Saint.

Under the pressure from these unprecedented forces, the Divine Sword Sect had to abandon the First Generation Sword Saint, and under the immense pressure from countless forces, they tried every possible means to communicate with the Saint Heirs and Saintesses in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ to inform them of the situation outside.

The current state of the First Generation Sword Saint was that he had ’actively severed ties with the Divine Sword Sect.’ Now the Sword Saint’s descendant was no longer a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. The members of the Divine Sword Sect were no longer permitted to prevent any forces trying to kill the Sword Saint’s descendant in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain.’ They must avoid all matters and people related to the Sword Saint, including the Sword Saint’s descendant.
