Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 318 - 166: Divine Maiden Sect’s Peerless Monster, Three-Way Standoff, Subtle Tension (Part 3)
Among the dozens of graceful figures, there were two who, upon seeing that silhouette, immediately widened their beautiful eyes in astonishment, looking at the young figure with utter disbelief.
Mu Xin and Mu Yan were both incredibly surprised, finding it hard to believe. They exchanged a glance, uncertain at first, but upon seeing the expression in each other’s eyes, the shock in their eyes became even more pronounced.
However, those disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect who hadn’t seen Ye Xiaofan before were filled with confusion and surprise in their beautiful eyes.
They were puzzled about how disciples from outside the Divine Maiden Sect could appear here and shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from that figure.
"A peak expert of the ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank.’"
This was the first reaction of all the disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect.
The other looked extremely young, and it was clear they must be a newly joined disciple of the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain,’ as the marks of time on a cultivator’s body make it easy to discern the age of those who enter the ’Battle Domain.’
A new disciple with the peak cultivation of the ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank’ was likely a rare genius among geniuses from a sect, at the very least a standout among them.
Immediately, even the formidable senior sisters of the Divine Maiden Sect rose one by one, bowing slightly: "We apologize for not greeting our sect friend from afar. Please forgive us." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The lead senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect smiled faintly, apparently recognizing that Ye Xiaofan’s background was extraordinary, categorizing him as a legendary prodigy, for it was indeed rare to see a peak ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank’ cultivator of his age.
However, as that silhouette gradually approached, everyone from the Divine Maiden Sect saw the Divine Sword emblem embroidered on the other’s clothes.
"So it’s a junior brother from the Divine Sword Sect. I’m Yin Ruyue; may I ask how this junior brother from the Divine Sword Sect is called?" The leading senior sister of the Divine Maiden Sect maintained courteous respect, suspecting the emergence of a new rare genius from the Divine Sword Sect, mindful of just how many top experts from their sect might be around.
Yet Ye Xiaofan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Mu Xin and Mu Yan as he quickly walked toward the two elegant figures.
He had already overheard some words from the other party, and it was evident that the two knew far more than the others.
Seeing that the other party did not respond and was instead quickening his pace, the terrifying senior sisters of the Divine Maiden Sect furrowed their brows slightly, feeling a sense of vigilance.
At this moment, Mu Xin and Mu Yan finally recognized and confirmed who that silhouette was, both crying out in shock: "Senior Sister Ruyue, he... he is the Sword Saint’s successor. He is Ye Xiaofan!"
Whoosh!
At these words, all the elegant figures suddenly shivered, their beautiful eyes filled with boundless astonishment.
"Junior Sister Mu Xin, what did you say? He is Ye Xiaofan?"
"Mu Xin, didn’t you say that three years ago, when you saw him, he was still a Profound Spirit Eighth Layer ant? How could he be a peak ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank’ expert?"
"Mu Yan, Mu Xin, could you have mistaken him?"
Many of the Divine Maiden Sect cultivators were deeply moved, endlessly surprised that from a Profound Spirit Eighth Layer just three years ago, he could transform into a terrifying ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank’ peak expert so quickly.
Not only that, but he also seemed to be at the level of a legendary prodigy.
Having been in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ for so many years, the cultivators inside had grown too familiar with the aura and the intangible fluctuations that those legendary prodigies exude, and the possibility of the person before them being a legendary prodigy was extremely high.
Yet Mu Xin and Mu Yan, though utterly shocked with eyes wide open, remained steadfast, saying, "There can be no mistake, it is him, Ye Xiaofan."
After Mu Xin spoke, Mu Yan also affirmed, "Senior Sister, it truly is him. My heavens, how is he a peak ’Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank’ expert?"
The sisters were overwhelmed with shock, their breath rapid, mouths dry, and beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Several formidable figures from the Divine Maiden Sect, who had referred to themselves as Yin Ruyue, also stepped forward, blocking those weaker junior sisters, staring intently ahead in stunned amazement.
At this precise moment, as if to confirm that figure’s identity, an incredibly melodious yet furious voice resounded from outside the forest, reaching everyone’s ears.
"Ye Xiaofan, you can’t escape; just surrender and die, and perhaps I’ll grant you a swift end."
As Yunmo Yue’s voice rang out, dozens of graceful figures from the Divine Maiden Sect were all alarmed, sensing several terrifying auras rapidly approaching.
In just a moment, Yunmo Yue and several others pierced through the sky, shattering countless branches that acted as obstacles, descending from above.
The several terrifying senior sisters of the Divine Maiden Sect immediately raised their heads in astonishment: "A legendary prodigy among the Demon Sect!"
"It’s a Demon Sect expert!"
Clang—!
Clang, clang, clang—!
In an instant, dozens of graceful figures from the Divine Maiden Sect instinctively drew their sharp swords, uniformly pointing them at Yunmo Yue and the others, as well as Ye Xiaofan.
Similarly, the newly arrived Yunmo Yue and others knit their brows, clearly realizing that there were also several legendary prodigies from the Divine Maiden Sect in their midst.
At the moment Yunmo Yue and the others pursued, Ye Xiaofan also instinctively halted, slightly glancing aside.
The people of the Divine Maiden Sect pointed their swords at several members of the Demon Sect, who in turn furrowed their brows, while Ye Xiaofan stood between both sides, facing the Divine Maiden Sect and with his back to Yunmo Yue and others from the Demon Sect.
For a moment, all three parties stood in confrontation, the atmosphere becoming exceedingly tense.
