Serpent Ancestor

In fact, before the Inner Demon could answer, Xu Hei already had the answer.

The Inner Demon was just another side of Xu Hei; they were essentially one. What the Inner Demon could think of, Xu Hei naturally could as well, though he was unwilling to admit it.

After flying for a while, Xu Hei suddenly saw a purple light speeding towards him.

Focusing his gaze, he saw a man with purple hair standing on a flying sword, moving as fast as lightning.

Xu Hei’s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered something and quickly accelerated.

”Fellow Daoist Xu, pay up!” Han Te shouted from behind, ”Debts must be repaid, it’s only right, don’t run away!”

Originally, Xu Hei had forgotten about this matter, and under no circumstances would he acknowledge it.

But ever since he accessed the memories of the Void Realm, he suddenly remembered that he did indeed owe Han Te a spirit stone, and it was a Supreme Spirit Stone!

But now, he didn’t even have lower-grade spirit stones, so where could he find a Supreme Spirit Stone?

Besides, even if he had one, he might not give it back.”What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly owe you spirit stones?” Xu Hei cursed.

”You clearly borrowed from me in the Void Realm!” Han Te retorted.

”Then tell me, how much did I borrow?” Xu Hei asked again.

”I don’t know, but you definitely borrowed some!”

”Then you’re talking nonsense, get lost!”

Xu Hei cursed, stepping on the Star-Moon Sword, his speed suddenly increasing, leaving a meteor-like trail in the sky as he sped into the distance.

Han Te also sped up, closely pursuing from behind.

At this moment, Xu Hei’s eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered that Han Te indeed had some skills in the Void Realm. With his help, he could have an extra hand when plundering sects.

So, Xu Hei said, ”Alright, I admit it, I do owe you spirit stones, but I don’t have any money right now. I need to do a deal first.”

”If you’re willing to help me, I can repay you with interest, giving you a Supreme Spirit Stone plus thirty million lower-grade spirit stones as a reward. How about it?”

Hearing this, Han Te’s eyes lit up, and he quickly flew to Xu Hei’s side, flying alongside him, eyes gleaming, ”Are you serious?”

”Of course, if I’m lying, may the heavens strike me down!” Xu Hei said earnestly.

Han Te swallowed, rubbing his hands together, and tentatively asked, ”May I ask, Brother Xu, what kind of deal are you planning to do?”

”Robbery!” Xu Hei said leisurely, ”First, we’ll rob the Tianhen Sword Sect, then the Ancient Tomb Sect, and not leave out any of the Five Great Sects in the Outer Battlefield.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

”What?!”

Han Te almost had his eyes pop out. Robbery was one thing, but robbing the Five Great Sects? Who gave him the courage?

Han Te quickly said, ”Brother Xu, I dare not participate in this, it’s practically suicide!”

”You don’t need to show your face, just find a place to hide, and when needed, pick up the leftovers.” Xu Hei said.

Han Te was still hesitating, ”But, it’s too dangerous...”

”I’ll add more, two Supreme Spirit Stones, plus fifty million lower-grade spirit stones, how about that?” Xu Hei sneered.

Han Te’s eyes immediately went wide, his body trembling.

He had never seen so much money in his life.

”Then... let’s sign a contract, you better not go back on your word!”

Han Te quickly took out a piece of paper, his excited heart and trembling hands quickly writing a few lines and pressing his fingerprint on it, handing it to Xu Hei.

Xu Hei glanced at it briefly and pressed his fingerprint without hesitation.

”Alright, from now on, Brother Xu is my biggest client, may our cooperation be successful!” Han Te took a deep breath, put away the contract, and his eyes showed determination.

Xu Hei glanced at Han Te a few times, with many doubts flashing in his heart.

From the moment he met Han Te, this person was either making money or on the way to making money. What did he need so many spirit stones for?

Yet, every time he acquired a large amount of spirit stones, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. It was truly miraculous.

The Tianhen Sword Sect was located at the peak of a mountain in the Central Plains. The mountain seemed to have been sliced off by a sword, leaving a flat area where a city was built.

This city was named Tianhen City, and it was the stronghold of the Tianhen Sword Sect.

Tianhen City had a population of thirty thousand, half of whom were rogue cultivators, and the other half were forces closely related to the Tianhen Sword Sect, mostly vassals.

As for the disciples of the Tianhen Sword Sect, there were only a hundred in total.

The core high-level members had all died in the battle at Liefeng City, leaving only two late Elemental Infant stage elders guarding Tianhen City.

However, with a sword formation nearly reaching the fifth rank, no one dared to provoke them.

Three days later, Xu Hei arrived outside Tianhen City.

His gaze swept over the prosperous Tianhen City, taking a deep breath, and with the Dragon Shatter Roar, he shouted, ”Tianhen Sword Sect, I give you the time of a stick of incense to hand over one hundred million spirit stones, plus five Supreme Spirit Stones, or I will bathe this city in blood!”

Xu Hei’s voice exploded like thunder, echoing within Tianhen City, alarming everyone.

At this moment, the merchants, rogue cultivators, passersby, and even the disciples of the Tianhen Sword Sect all stopped what they were doing, looking towards the source of the voice, eyes filled with shock.

Who had such audacity to utter such wild words?

One hundred million spirit stones, plus five Supreme Spirit Stones, what a huge appetite, was he trying to empty out a super sect?

However, this was the result of Xu Hei’s careful consideration and precise calculation.

Based on the Spirit Gathering Formation left by the Tianhen Sword Sect, they had harvested at least five Supreme Spirit Stones in the Outer Battlefield, and this was a conservative estimate; in reality, there might be more!

”It’s you!”

In the sky above Tianhen City, an old face appeared, one of the late Elemental Infant stage elders left to guard, Mo Yun.

”You didn’t stay holed up in Liefeng City, and you dare come to my Tianhen Sword Sect to cause trouble, do you really think my sect is easy to bully?”

Mo Yun soared into the sky, sitting cross-legged on the clouds, and without further ado, directly activated the city’s protective sword formation.

A giant flying sword rose from the city, hovering in the air. This sword was transformed from the life-bound flying sword of the Tianhen Sword Sect’s Ancestor, Liu Wuhen, named the Tianhen Immovable Sword.

Although it was only an avatar of the flying sword, it already possessed the power of the fifth rank, containing the power of laws, invincible below the Divine Transformation stage.

Even if a true Divine Transformation stage cultivator came, it could hold them off for a while.

Seeing the appearance of the Tianhen Sword Formation, the crowd in the city finally calmed down a bit. This formation was left by the Ancestor Wuhen.

It was said that back then, a cultivator who had just broken through to the Divine Transformation stage came to attack, but couldn’t break through this formation, enough to demonstrate its power.

Xu Hei stared at the sword formation, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He stepped on the Star-Moon Sword, instantly flying forward, rushing into Tianhen City.

”Immovable True Sword, slash!”

Mo Yun waved his hand, and the Tianhen Immovable Sword remained motionless, but Xu Hei felt that the sky and earth were filled with sharp, murderous sword beams, omnipresent, with every place being a point of attack.
