NOVPUBThe Old Land had also experienced chaos before, and the Divine Gate was not unacquainted with it.
But the resurgence of monsters from the Old Land was almost aimless in their attacks, so they were not much trouble for the Divine Gate.
However, the organization and premeditation behind the current chaos were palpable.
Yet now, the Divine Gate still didn’t know who the mastermind was, plus they dared not delve deep into investigating this Old Land.
Yin Wuheng, having failed to persuade, eventually handed a signal flare directly to the Divine Emperor.
He said, "Elder ancestor, if you encounter danger in the outside world, just open this signal flare, and we will definitely rush out at the first moment."
Yin Wuheng also knew that the current Divine Emperor no longer had Destiny.
Although he had cultivated for thousands of years, his strength at best was now at the Divine Vein Realm.
An immortal being from the outside world could possibly defeat the Divine Emperor.
The news of the Divine Emperor’s resurrection was very secretive within the Divine Gate, known only to him, the Sect Leader, and a few old patriarchs of the Sect Gate.
The Divine Emperor fell silent for a moment and eventually picked up the signal flare.
His tone solemn, he said, "If everything goes smoothly when we return this time, it will be the era of our Divine Gate’s rise once again."
"Godspeed, elder ancestor," Yin Wuheng knelt on the ground and said hastily.
...
Subsequently, the three of them left the Divine Gate and headed out towards the exterior of the Old Land.
Due to the battle last night, the outside world was piled up with a multitude of monster corpses.
They were everywhere, and Xu Zimei roughly estimated that there were at least ten thousand bodies.
And the air around was filled with a pungent and dense smell of blood.
"Are these monsters all from the Old Land?" Xu Zimei inquired.
"Yes, they are probably remnants from the Wild Desolation era," the Divine Emperor explained.
After all, he was the one who founded this Divine Gate, so he understood the situation here the best.
"Most of the time, as long as you don’t traverse their territory and awaken them, they remain in a slumbering state.
But now, for some reason, they are so irritable."
"After you become a Great Emperor and invincible in this world, what’s there to fear," Xu Zimei said with a light chuckle.
"It’s not that simple with the Netherworld Blood Sea," the Divine Emperor slightly shook his head.
The three were about to speak when they suddenly heard hissing growls from all around.
"Looks like we’re in trouble," Xu Zimei said with a light chuckle.
He looked around to see a massive group of monsters crawling towards them from the front and back.
And on the slopes to both sides, countless monsters lay hidden. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The group was virtually surrounded, airtight.
"Seems like a tough battle is coming," Ye Feiyang said with a profound look in his eyes.
The monsters that surrounded them seemed much larger, even their momentum had grown imposing, with an abundance of Malice Qi around them.
"One side each, how about that?" Xu Zimei proposed with a smile.
"Let’s end this quickly, no need to waste time with these monsters," the Divine Emperor replied with a nod.
Although there were many monsters, their strength was indeed too low for Xu Zimei.
Tyrant Shadow in hand, it trembled slightly as Blade Qi infused with Wu Geng’s power concentrated along the blade.
As Xu Zimei slowly raised Tyrant Shadow above his head, the Blade Qi grew more spirited, soaring towards the heavens, piercing the clouds.
With a slash, there came a thunderous boom, and the entire expanse of space in front of him was annihilated within it.
On the Divine Emperor’s side, endless Spiritual Energy gathered in his hand, eventually forming an immense palm shadow that reached for the sky.
With a single slap, all the monsters were obliterated beneath it.
As for Ye Feiyang on the other side, his speed was much slower, the main reason being that he was absorbing the blood of these monsters.
Almost every monster’s death was extremely tragic.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Zimei and the others were about to extricate themselves from the entanglement of the monsters and leave when suddenly, they heard a round of applause.
They turned their heads and saw the space beside them being torn apart, and three figures walked out from within.
"So there really are people pulling the strings behind the scenes," the Divine Emperor murmured.
The three of them were two men and one woman, one of the men wore a black vest and had a string of red Buddha Beads around his neck.
With a crew cut and a scar on his face, his appearance was quite fierce.
The man standing in the middle was wearing a white robe, even his long hair was grayish-white.
His demeanor was very ethereal, just like a handsome man who had walked out of a painting.
His clothes were made of many fine silks, and a deep white longsword hung at his waist.
With a smile on his melon-seed-shaped face, coupled with his attire, he truly had the demeanor of a graceful young gentleman capable of captivating thousands of women.
The person to the right was a woman, dressed in a clear, lake-like azure-green long dress.
The feeling the woman gave off could be described in one word: "cold."
Extremely cold, as if she were a piece of eternal ice, unable to melt.
Her face was melon-seeded, with a light, delicate makeup applied.
With eyebrows like crescent moons and eyes that were charming with glistening and lively pupils, yet they were very cold.
Earrings of pure white adorned her ears, and at this moment a gentle breeze blew, gently swaying her earrings.
"Who are you?" Ye Feiyang asked.
"It seems your status in the Divine Gate must not be low," the crew-cut man with eyes ablaze with fighting spirit said.
"The turmoil in the Old Land, was it your doing?" the Divine Emperor asked with furrowed brows.
"Since when has the Divine Gate offended you?"
"Why ask so much? You’re just a man about to die," the crew-cut man retorted while taking out two long knives from his sleeves.
The knives were two sharp short daggers, looking menacing and reddish in color, with a flowing luminescence coursing over them.
"How about you all fight and I watch from the side?" Xu Zimei suggested with a smile.
"Let’s make it quick," said the man with white hair in the middle, speaking in a gentle tone.
The Divine Emperor and the crew-cut man had already begun fighting, and Xu Zimei turned to Ye Feiyang and said, "You go deal with him, leave the woman to me."
Ye Feiyang did not refuse, directly attacking the white-haired man.
...
Xu Zimei’s gaze was drawn towards the last woman as she saw the power of the Divine Vein Realm surging around her.
It was as if snowflakes were falling, and the temperature around them was getting colder and colder.
In her gaze was full of frost, as if a single look could freeze a person solid.
"Miss, may I have your name?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
"Extraterritorial Extreme Palace, Mo Xiaolu!"
Accompanied by a light shout, a myriad of chills swept over, and the woman in green attacked Xu Zimei.
"Extraterritorial Extreme Palace," Xu Zimei whispered to himself after hearing the name.
Muttering, "This force, it has finally appeared."
Watching the woman come at him, Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
"Why so aggressive at such a young age?" he said.
He then slapped a palm towards her.
