Chapter 274: Seems like the time has come~

　　Gazing at the mysterious cultivators who had appeared out of nowhere in the vast sky.

　　The practitioners within Heavenly Profound Gate were all utterly baffled.

　　Judging by the spiritual pressure emanating from them, these cultivators were of extremely high realms! And they emerged from a mountain peak, seemingly bearing a grudge against Heavenly Profound Gate.

　　Heavenly Profound Gate had been imprisoning these cultivators all along? When did Heavenly Profound Gate become so powerful? “Wait, is that man perhaps Tang Long?”

　　Within Hundred Springs Plain, an elder looked astonished at the practitioner whose form flickered unpredictably.

　　”Tang Long? Who is Tang Long?” A disciple beside the elder asked.

　　The elder shook his head: “Tang Long was a legendary thief two thousand years ago, stealing from the imperial palaces of the ten great human dynasties to the four sacred lands and five major sects—there wasn’t anything he dared not steal.

　　Thus, Tang Long was wanted and hunted down by the sacred lands and sects.

　　It was rumored that Tang Long was eventually surrounded, killed, and his soul scattered.

　　Everyone thought he was dead, but who would have thought, he was actually imprisoned in Heavenly Profound Gate.”

　　”Brother Qin! Is that you? Brother Qin!”

　　An elder in the Nascent Soul Stage looked up at Qin Feng in the sky, wielding a spear and charging back and forth seven times, his eyes flickering, even with tears welling up. He shouted loudly.

　　”How do you know my name.” Qin Feng glanced at the elder on the ground, “Who are you?”

　　”Brother Qin Feng! It’s me, Lin Jiang!” The elder named Lin Jiang blurred his eyes, “Don’t you remember me?”

　　”Lin Jiang… Lin Jiang” Qin Feng kept muttering this name, feeling it was very familiar, but too much time had passed, and he couldn’t recall.

　　Lin Jiang continued: “Back then, I was an inner sect disciple in the Unparalleled Divine Spear Sect. I once sought your guidance on spear techniques, and you said if I worked hard, I would at least reach the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.”

　　”It’s you…” Qin Feng remembered, “Are you still alive?”

　　”Alive, I’m still alive, not only me, but also fifty disciples of the Unparalleled Divine Spear Sect are alive. After the Unparalleled Divine Spear Sect fell, we rebuilt it. The current sect leader is your younger brother—Qin Ling.”

　　Qin Feng’s body trembled slightly; the usually calm him now had a trembling voice: “Qin Ling, he is still alive?”

　　”Yes, Brother.” Lin Jiang nodded quickly, “Although our Unparalleled Divine Spear Sect isn’t as glorious as before, it’s getting better now.”

　　”Good! Good! Good!”

　　Qin Feng raised his head, took a deep breath towards the sky, as if all the frustrations of these years had dissipated: “You’ve rebuilt the sect, and I haven’t given any gifts. Once I take Xia He’s head, I’ll congratulate you!”

　　As soon as the words were spoken, Qin Feng stepped forward, merging with the ordinary spear, spear qi swirling around Qin Feng’s body, transforming into a white dragon, rushing towards Xia He.

　　Apart from Qin Feng and Tang Long, some other cultivators imprisoned on Three Stone Peak were also recognized to varying degrees.

　　They were all famous figures a thousand years ago. Even though they had disappeared for a thousand years, many juniors didn’t recognize them, but some old timers knew clearly.

　　Xia He, seeing Xu Chang and others coming to kill him, realized he was at his last moment.

　　But there was no trace of panic in Xia He’s eyes.

　　After preparing for so long and simulating tens of thousands of scenarios, how could he not leave himself any trump cards?

　　Xia He took out a black short knife, looked up, and said to the bull-headed demon in the sky: “I accept your previous offer.”

　　”Hehehe…” The bull head let out a “hee hee” sound, “You should have done this earlier, otherwise you wouldn’t have so many troubles.”

　　Xia He inserted the black short knife into his own heart.

　　Black mist continuously spread out from Xia He’s chest, and the bull-headed demon withdrew its head into the void.

　　The crack in the sky closed.

　　But the next moment, a huge hand suddenly appeared behind Xia He.

　　This giant hand tightly gripped Xia He!

　　The black mist from the giant hand drilled into Xia He’s eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

　　Just as Xu Chang and others approached, an invisible barrier repelled everyone. “Damn, did this guy sell his soul?” Xu Chang spat.

　　”Old man, what’s going on?” Zhou Wanfeng walked to Xu Chang’s side.

　　Xu Chang frowned: “I don’t know what means Xia He used, but he colluded with one of the demon kings, selling his soul in exchange for demonic power.”

　　Hearing Xu Chang’s explanation, Zhou Wanfeng frowned, looking at Xu Chang and spat: “Disgusting!”

　　”Hoong!”

　　A black storm exploded, scattering the ominous aura of the demon.

　　”Don’t disappoint me.”

　　A hollow voice echoed from the sky.

　　As the voice faded, the giant hand gradually disappeared.

　　Xia He slowly opened his eyes.

　　Black flames enveloped Xia He’s body, his eyes hollow, as if his eyeballs had been gouged out by someone.

　　”Tch!”

　　Xu Chang rolled his eyes, feeling the situation becoming tricky.

　　Still, Xu Chang was the first to charge forward, swinging his sword towards Xia He’s head. Xia He raised his hand and directly blocked Xu Chang’s sword.

　　The mountain peak behind Xia He was split in half by Xu Chang’s penetrating sword qi, but Xia He remained unscathed.

　　Xu Chang frowned.

　　If it were before, how could this person dare to block the sword? His current strength has indeed declined too much, and he needs time to recover.

　　”You will all die!”

　　Xia He punched Xu Chang away, and with a thought, the three great immortal weapons of Heavenly Profound Gate began to swirl around Xia He.

　　The three great immortal weapons resonated, breaking through the clouds and sky, black winds rampaging throughout Heavenly Profound Gate.

　　”Kill him! He’s summoning the Demon Lord!”

　　After Xu Chang spoke, he moved forward again, and Qin Feng and others didn’t stay idle, constantly launching attacks on Xia He.

　　Everyone knew what Xu Chang meant by summoning the Demon Lord.

　　The strength of a Demon Lord is equivalent to the Ascension Realm.

　　Their group was far from their peak state. If the Demon Lord arrived now without any Ascension Realm cultivators present, everything within ten thousand miles would be flattened! However, the black mist inside Xia He formed a barrier, blocking them all fifty meters away.

　　”Hehehe, it’s about time for me to come out and play.”

　　Above the sky, a hollow voice sounded again.

　　A massive armored humanoid monster clawed at the crack in the sky.

　　”Trouble.”

　　Zhou Wanfeng frowned deeply, staring intently at the towering figure.

　　”Seems like the time has come~”

　　Just when everyone felt the situation was hopeless, a gentle feminine voice softly echoed.
