"Your Highness, Mengying has always been the Holy Maiden of our Moonlit Hall. We implore you to release her."
"Allow her to return to the Moonlit Hall and inherit its legacy."
Hua Yaoyue naturally knew that Fang Chen's identity was not simple, and with the Cold Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyue guarding him, she spoke with extreme courtesy.
"What if I refuse?" Fang Chen said calmly.
He knew exactly what Hua Yaoyue was up to. Moreover, he had long planned to eliminate her, and she had conveniently delivered herself into his hands.
"Cloud Heaven Holy Son, you have no right to refuse!"
At that moment, Xie Mubai stepped forward, and an old man appeared behind him.
Hua Mengying was of paramount importance to Xie Mubai, as her possession was crucial to his future cultivation. He would stop at nothing to obtain her, even if it meant offending the Cloud Heaven Holy Son.
Besides, the Heavenly Demon Sect was already universally hated—one more enemy wouldn't make much difference.
"Old Demon Han, you've grown quite bold, daring to show your face," Fang Chen said with feigned surprise.
He knew Hua Yaoyue had colluded with the Heavenly Demon Sect, but he hadn't expected her to be so audacious as to appear before them.
This woman was clearly prepared to abandon even the Moonlit Hall.
"Cloud Heaven Holy Son, why shouldn't this old man dare to show his face?"
"The Profound Heaven Realm is vast and boundless, allowing me, Old Demon Han, to roam freely. Moreover, if I were to appear, who would dare kill me? Who would dare stop me?"
Old Demon Han smiled, his face radiating confidence.
Of course, his confidence stemmed from his formidable power. As a Sage Realm expert, he was one of the most powerful beings in the Profound Heaven Realm. Coupled with his mastery of numerous techniques, killing him would prove no easy task.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sword light, appearing without warning, erupted with overwhelming pressure. It hurtled toward Old Demon Han with lightning speed.
Facing such a formidable sword intent, a glint flashed in Old Demon Han's eyes. A skull materialized in his palm, hovering in the air.
*Bang!*
The skull exploded with black light, radiating a sinister, terrifying aura filled with malevolent intent. The two forces collided.
The impact shattered the sky and cracked the earth, reducing everything within tens of thousands of miles to dust.
"The Cold Moon Sword Immortal's sword intent remains as sharp as ever!"
"However, I did not come here to spar with you, Cold Moon Sword Immortal. I merely wish to take Hua Mengying with me."
"Hua Mengying is the Holy Maiden of the Moonlit Hall. The hall now requires her to return and inherit its legacy."
"I implore you, Cold Moon Sword Immortal, to grant me this boon!"
As Old Demon Han spoke, he brewed his aura, his presence surging with each word.
"I'm sure the Cold Moon Sword Immortal wouldn't want the Cloud Heaven Holy Son to perish, would he?"
"Even if the Cold Moon Sword Immortal is powerful, I can hold you off for a while."
"But how could the Cloud Heaven Holy Son possibly resist the Flower Demon Moon Palace Mistress?"
"A mere Void Return Realm cultivator like the Cloud Heaven Holy Son stands no chance against the Flower Demon Moon Palace Mistress!"
Old Demon Han said with a smile, his face radiating confidence as if he held all the cards. His words carried an unmistakable threat.
Hua Mengying trembled slightly at his words. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Holy Son, perhaps I should go with them?"
"Why should you go?" Fang Chen glared at her. "With me here, no one will take you away."
"Cloud Heaven Holy Son, this isn't a matter of your will. Today, we must take Hua Mengying."
Hua Yaoyue stepped forward, unleashing the full pressure of her Sage Realm cultivation.
Her power was formidable; she was a true Sage Realm expert.
No matter how monstrous Fang Chen's talent, he was still hopelessly outmatched against a Sage Realm cultivator.
After all, he was only at the third heaven of the Void Return Realm, a full major realm below the Sage Realm.
The mere pressure of her aura made him feel crushed.
Without his Innate Dao Physique supporting him, he would have collapsed long ago.
Hua Yaoyue was surprised to see Fang Chen still standing.
Her pressure was enough to make even Void Return Realm experts, and some early Sage Realm powerhouses, collapse to their knees.
That Fang Chen still stood there, resisting her pressure, truly shocked her.
"As long as the Cloud Heaven Holy Son is unwilling, no one can force him."
Just then, a deep voice boomed.
A massive palm descended from the sky, striking directly at Hua Yaoyue.
In the next moment, an overwhelming aura surged forth, vast and profound, surpassing even Hua Yaoyue's own pressure.
"Qin Tianba!"
"How could you possibly be here?"
Hua Yaoyue's face paled. This man's appearance was completely beyond her expectations.
"It seems this Emperor has been absent from the world for too long. All the people have forgotten me!"
"I come to meet my imperial brother, yet no one recognizes me!"
Just then, another deep voice resonated, and a vast pressure swept through the air, making the sky hum and vibrate.
"Emperor Qin!"
This time, not only Hua Yaoyue was stunned, but even Old Demon Han was frozen in place.
Not only a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty had arrived, but the Emperor himself had come!
Old Demon Han's scalp tingled.
If it had only been the Cold Moon Sword Immortal, he could have handled it. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he could have at least stalled for time.
But now that Qin Tianba, a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, had arrived, and even Emperor Qin himself had come, it filled him with dread.
"You were too arrogant this time. We thought you'd wait some time after leaving Imperial Mausoleum City before reappearing."
"I didn't expect you to be so impatient, jumping out so soon after leaving the city."
"I must say, you don't seem to take the Great Qin Dynasty seriously."
Fang Chen sneered.
He knew the plot development well. He'd long anticipated that Hua Yaoyue, in her eagerness to curry favor with the Heavenly Demon Sect's Demon Son, would forcibly abduct Hua Mengying.
Of course, Hua Yaoyue couldn't have managed it alone; she'd naturally need the Heavenly Demon Sect's power.
The Demon Son's lack of strength and poor character meant he'd be impatient, inevitably forcing the sect's experts to act.
Since Hua Mengying was at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, they wouldn't dare come.
With so many experts in Imperial Mausoleum City, they wouldn't dare come either.
This meant they'd have to wait until she left the city before making their move.
What Fang Chen hadn't expected was their audacity—attempting to strike within the Great Qin Dynasty's territory.
They truly didn't take the Great Qin Dynasty seriously!
"You knew from the start we were coming?"
Not only Hua Yaoyue was shocked, but even Old Demon Han was stunned.
Their plan was highly secretive, known only to a few. How could the Cloud Heaven Holy Son have discovered it?
"That's not important. You should focus on how to escape."
"Alright, let's move."
Fang Chen said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them attacked almost simultaneously.
