Immortal Jian Chou and Buyu Shangren had history? Otherwise, why would her tone be so familiar, like meeting an old friend?

But they had never heard of this before.

Almost everyone present was initially confused by Jian Chou’s casual tone, taking a long time to react, thinking they were reminiscing about old times and that Buyu Shangren had truly prepared this Long Night Bamboo Slip for Jian Chou.

But before the various thoughts in their minds could take root, with a turn of their eyes, they had already seen Buyu Shangren’s expression.

Where was the look of meeting a friend? This was clearly the look of meeting an enemy!

This Immortal Jian Chou had stirred up bloody storms upon first entering the Upper Ruins, and now she had actually killed her way to the front of Pangu’s Desolate Domain?

In the immortal realm, a mere few decades was like a snap of fingers. Everyone’s memories of those rumors related to Jian Chou were no different from yesterday’s events.

Among the present Golden Immortals and Saint Immortals, not all were without grudges against her.

The two sect masters of Kongfang Sect, one male and one female, almost immediately glared at her, their eyes surging with uncontainable killing intent. Xieyang Sheng, standing on the Great Luo Heaven side, frowned even more, his gaze toward Jian Chou gaining several parts of unfathomable darkness.

Among the cultivators were many who detested killing, and even more detested Jian Chou’s past habit of killing without blinking. Before others could react, they had already righteously and sternly shouted: “You female demon! Decades ago you committed evil in the immortal realm, killing countless people. Now you dare to intrude here and disrupt our Upper Ruins’ great undertaking! Are you seeking death?!”

“Swish, clatter!”

A sound of weapons being drawn, accompanied by terrifying humming between heaven and earth!

Most of them had never fought with Jian Chou, but merely from the slaughter scenes they had heard about in rumors, they knew her cultivation was extraordinary.

So everyone didn’t dare to be careless at all.

Once they gripped their magical artifacts, an atmosphere of drawn swords and taut bowstrings immediately emerged.

Luye Laozu, White Crane Great Emperor, and others had long heard of Jian Chou’s name, but today was their first time seeing her. Before they could speak, the scene had already become tense.

Because just when this group drew their magical artifacts, another group also unsheathed their swords.

“Clang—”

A long sword cry!

If it were just one sound, it would be like a water dragon, quite pleasant to hear, but dozens of sounds layered together made one’s scalp tingle.

Standing among the group of Saint Immortals from Great Luo Heaven, Yashan’s Half-Crane True Person drooped his eyelids, only stepped forward one step, his calm gaze already sweeping over those cultivators who had drawn swords against Jian Chou like a blade, only asking coldly: “Do you all think the people of my Yashan are dead?!”

Half-Crane True Person was an elder from Yashan who had ascended thousands of years ago.

The name of Returning Crane Well atop Lingzhao Peak came from the crane he raised. In the Origin Realm, he was also a legendary figure of his time.

Wearing green pine and white cloud dao robes, his immortal bearing was ethereal.

But when he was deeply angry and not smiling, the sharpness and momentum unique to sword cultivators exploded forth.

Everyone was startled by this voice, even other Saint Immortals couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Yashan cultivators drew their swords!

How many years had it been since this was seen?

This was going to be a major incident.

Everyone’s gazes couldn’t help but wander between both sides, only thinking in their minds how they could persuade against this conflict that should never erupt.

But no one expected that at this moment when saying even one word might ignite sparks, the one who suddenly spoke was Daidai, who by any measure shouldn’t have spoken.

At some point, she had again transformed into that naked beauty appearance.

A pair of alluring eyes blinked, her gaze falling on Jian Chou, but her beautiful brows furrowed as if thinking about something.

Then those eyes suddenly brightened.

The next moment, she actually raised her hand directly, pointing toward Xie Buchen standing to the side, and said to Jian Chou as if suddenly understanding: “Ah, it’s killing wife to prove dao! So you’ve already slept with him…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

At the entrance to the entire Desolate Domain, deathly silence descended without warning, covering everyone.

Not everyone was well-informed, so when they heard the four words “killing wife to prove dao,” they were still somewhat confused.

But those who knew these four words all changed expressions.

Not to mention several people who had some relationship to this matter.

This red powder skeleton from Feixie Heaven, though of high status and powerful cultivation, truly said whatever came to mind. Whatever others couldn’t say, to her it was as simple as eating and drinking.

What sleeping or not sleeping…

Being an Immortal Venerable, how could she speak so vulgarly?

The gazes of White Crane Great Emperor and others became somewhat strange.

Luye Laozu instantly frowned, her sharp gaze directly shooting toward the unrestrained Daidai, frightening the other into a shiver.

Xie Buchen’s usually calm eyebrows finally couldn’t help but twitch.

Sword Bearer, also among the Great Luo Heaven Saint Immortals, had shown some undisguised joy when he first saw Jian Chou appear.

But at this moment, he felt bewildered.

He looked at Jian Chou, then at Xie Buchen standing there, only now truly carefully examining this male cultivator who had advanced to Saint Immortal in the fastest time.

And on the Feixie Heaven side, Yinghu, who originally had mortal enmity with Jian Chou, also instantly had his face turn cold and grim.

The demonic aura that Yinghu usually displayed had become like frozen ice.

The hand hidden behind his back and half-covered by his sleeve robe also clenched tightly, his two lips with their slightly demonic tinge pressed together, showing several parts of grim killing intent.

But his position was really inconspicuous, and at this time everyone’s attention was on Jian Chou, so not many people noticed his unusual abnormality.

Jian Chou naturally also didn’t notice.

Suddenly having old matters brought up, she also froze for a moment. Seeing Daidai’s appearance, she knew that even in the Upper Ruins, this person was probably an oddity, so she simply pretended she hadn’t heard these words.

Facing those many cultivators who had raised swords against her, she was really too lazy to look at them even once, only staring directly at Buyu Shangren who still hadn’t spoken, saying to everyone: “This one has some private grievance with Buyu Shangren. Heaven’s way is clear – I never had any interaction with Shangren, no enmity or hatred, yet upon first arriving in the Upper Ruins I was pursued by Ten Death Orders, fleeing for my life for ten years. Since Shangren dares to act, naturally he must dare to take responsibility. I come merely to collect this debt from Shangren.”

Ignoring her ghostly nonsense about “fleeing for my life for ten years,” everyone was practically blown away by the meaning in her words.

That Ten Death Order actually came from Buyu Shangren?!

But how did she find out?

One must know that what Feixie Heaven took most seriously about accepting Ten Death Orders was secrecy. How could they let someone being hunted know who was hunting her?

Besides, since there was no enmity or hatred, why would Buyu Shangren act against her?

A string of doubts almost immediately emerged.

People were waiting for Buyu Shangren to deny it.

But he didn’t.

Facing Jian Chou’s calm words, Buyu Shangren only raised his head to look directly at her, his heart surprisingly very calm, as if a great stone had fallen to the ground.

Ever since his array was seen through by that gaze, he knew this day would come.

Now it was merely all the bad premonitions coming true.

Only he didn’t plan to directly surrender, but raised his hand and waved, actually summoning ten thousand zhang of starlight in the sky above the Desolate Domain entrance.

They pierced through the thick darkness, instantly condensing together.

In the blink of an eye, they became a brilliant star, descending downward and spreading into a magnificent dueling platform!

Having been in the Upper Ruins for decades, Jian Chou naturally understood what this meant.

Only…

“Our cultivation levels are vastly different. If you duel with me, you cannot possibly have a chance of victory.”

“Even losing, one must fight – only then can there be no regrets.”

Buyu Shangren also clearly knew that Jian Chou couldn’t possibly easily let him go, but just as he had ascended with the existence of his heart demon, if he didn’t fight, how would he know he couldn’t find life in a desperate situation?

He lowered his eyes, not responding to the gaze Luye Laozu cast toward him.

At this moment, he only gestured toward Jian Chou, saying lightly: “Please.”
