Chapter 1971: Chapter 1969: You Came in Here Yourself

In front of the Nine Provinces Governor’s Palace, Black Cloud’s heart surged.

A hundred thousand years ago, the Nine Provinces was the most renowned domain in the entire stellar space, its fame surpassing even that of the present Yellow Dragon World.

But today, a hundred thousand years later, this domain was just an ordinary large domain. In recent days he stealthily investigated and found this domain contained many Constellations, yet not even a single Moon Jade, let alone the Sun Blaze.

Although he didn’t know why the Nine Provinces became this way, it was clearly due to the loss of foundational essence.

This also had nothing to do with him; it was merely a trip for revenge. Who would have thought there would be unexpected rewards, truly delightful.

In a large domain with only Constellations, the power of a Sun Blaze was unimaginable. He pondered how he could find clues about the Dao Tree legacy and ultimately decided to display his supreme might, forcefully suppressing this domain. As long as he controlled this domain, sooner or later he would find the Dao Tree legacy and claim it for himself.

This was the confidence of a Sun Blaze!

At the same time, Lu Ye arrived at Immortal Spirit Peak on Mount Fangcun, meeting an astonished Su Yuqing, as Lu Ye had previously mentioned he was going to train in the Asura Field, yet years later he somehow ended up returning.

Before there was time to inquire, Chen Xuanhai and Woo Qimo arrived after receiving a message from Lu Ye.

The situation was urgent, and Lu Ye immediately informed them about Black Cloud.

Woo Qimo was suddenly enraged: "That Demon Race must be blind, daring to cause trouble right under our noses at Mount Fangcun. Junior Brother, don’t worry, I’ll go get him out of the Nine Provinces right now."

Saying this, he was about to head out.

Mount Fangcun’s relationship with Lu Ye was unshakable. When Lu Ye wasn’t in the Nine Provinces, they naturally had to protect the peace in Nine Provinces, but because they always stayed within Mount Fangcun, they hadn’t noticed that a Sun Blaze had infiltrated Nine Provinces, which made him very angry.

"Senior Brother Woo, hold on." Lu Ye quickly stopped him. He indeed came here to seek help from the three Sun Blazes of the Dwarf Race, but the battle must not erupt within the Nine Provinces.

Immediately, he detailed his plan, and Su Yuqing and the others nodded repeatedly, quickly preparing.

A moment later, Lu Ye left Mount Fangcun again, quietly contacting Number Nine.

Whether his plan could be executed depended on the might of Number Nine and the Asura Field Treasure. If Number Nine could utilize the treasure to create a scene suitable for a Sun Blaze battle, all would be well, but if not, the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze would have to take action by force.

Soon, Lu Ye received a message from Number Nine, and his heart was reassured!

In front of the Governor’s Hall, Black Cloud had already decided and was about to drive his Sun Blaze might to showcase his existence, thus intimidating the Nine Provinces cultivators when he suddenly sensed something and looked up towards the outer sky.

His perception was exceptionally strong, immediately detecting a familiar aura rapidly approaching the Nine Provinces.

After a brief assessment, he chuckled: "Good, good, indeed blessings come in pairs!"

He hadn’t expected that at such a juncture, Lu Ye from Three Worlds Island would appear!

Admittedly, his original intention here was just to destroy the Nine Provinces and avenge Lu Ye’s past slaughter of the Zixuan demon cultivators, but doing so would only temporarily alleviate his hatred, not truly avenge it.

Yet, Lu Ye stayed over at Three Worlds Island in All Phenomena Ocean for so long without coming out, leaving him without a better option.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s appearance was undoubtedly an unexpected joy.

He had communicated face-to-face with Lu Ye back then, so naturally remembered the other’s aura, and thus clearly judged that it was the arrogant human youth from years ago who had arrived.

"Then let’s start with you!" Black Cloud snorted coldly, his figure soared into the sky towards Lu Ye.

Near Nine Provinces, Lu Ye wore an easygoing expression, as if he’d been sightseeing outside for a long time and finally remembered he was a traveler returning home.

Suddenly, his body halted, his expression changed dramatically, confusion and suspicion written on his face: "This is..." He gazed deeply into the depths of the Nine Provinces, as if witnessing something unbelievable: "Demon Venerable Black Cloud? How can you be here?"

Black Cloud’s figure rapidly approached Lu Ye, laughing: "Island Master Lu, long time no see?"

After being suppressed for several years, seeing Lu Ye’s panic-stricken expression made him feel unprecedentedly comfortable, as if all the previous humiliation had finally found an outlet.

Lu Ye’s face was already pale, raising his hand and pointing to the Void in front of him. As he pointed, a spinning vortex suddenly appeared in front of him.

Instantly, Lu Ye, like a startled rabbit, plunged directly into it, and as his figure disappeared, the vortex began to rapidly contract.

Black Cloud was stunned, not quite comprehending this method, but regardless of the method, it was merely another way to escape.

As the whirlpool was about to close up and disappear, Black Cloud’s speed suddenly increased tremendously. In an instant, he rushed to the front of the whirlpool, showing no hesitation, and followed it inside.

Having made a move personally, if Moon Jade manages to escape, it would truly be a joke.

With a shift in vision, the environment became extremely peculiar. It seemed like a starry space, yet somewhat distorted, giving off a very unreal feeling, even the planets in the distance looked strangely shaped, with one resembling a sheet of paper...

This was undoubtedly due to Number Nine’s unfamiliarity with controlling the affiliated treasure. In a hurry, being able to create such an environment was already quite challenging.

Of course, this also relates to the affiliated treasure not being a true stellar space supreme treasure; it is ultimately just an affiliated treasure and cannot unleash the true supreme treasure’s power.

Black Cloud had no interest in investigating those matters, instead, he raised his eyes to see Lu Ye standing not far away. He smiled slightly, with a confident expression: "Run, why don’t you run anymore?"

However, as soon as he spoke, he suddenly felt something was off, because Lu Ye’s face showed not a trace of panic, and he stood there calmly, even more composed than Black Cloud himself...

"You walked into this yourself!" Lu Ye gazed at him with pity.

Honestly speaking, although Number Nine could barely create such a scene, if Black Cloud was cautious enough not to break in, Number Nine wouldn’t be able to forcefully bring him in. Unfortunately, Black Cloud was blinded by hatred and led by Lu Ye into this place.

Black Cloud finally sensed something was wrong, though unsure of what tricks Lu Ye was hiding, warning bells rang loudly in his heart!

Without daring to hesitate, he activated his Demon Origin and raised a hand to grab towards Lu Ye, thinking that whatever scheme the other may have, against overwhelming power, it would be futile!

But as his hand extended, a astonishing sword light suddenly emerged from thin air, its fierce brilliance made Black Cloud’s coloration change.

"Sun Blaze!" He widened his eyes in shock, hurriedly pulling back, yet even so, a considerable amount of Demon Origin was sliced away.

"Congeal!" A cold voice rang out, followed by a blast of purple light from the side. Though Black Cloud noticed it, he was still grazed by it, immediately feeling his body freeze.

"Break!" Another robust voice sounded, and similarly, a purple light came flying.

When Black Cloud turned his head, he was astonished to find that the purple light transformed into a massive axe, descending directly upon him, and from this purple light, he felt another distinct Sun Blaze aura.

His face showed horror, and he swiftly attempted to evade, yet that chilling sword light reappeared.

Moments later, Black Cloud stood there with a terrified expression, having been suddenly attacked, he was slightly injured. He was exceedingly surprised as he looked at the three figures that appeared ahead.

Two men, one woman, each shrouded in the aura of Sun Blaze, and besides the burly man with the Sun Blaze in the middle, the other two seemed not to be ordinary Sun Blaze cultivators, especially the woman...

And the purple light...

"Are you from the Dwarf Race?" Black Cloud finally realized, although he hadn’t personally fought with Sun Blaze cultivators from the Dwarf Race before, he had lived long enough to know that only the Dwarf Race would use talismans to fight with others. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But... how could there be Dwarf Race here, and three Sun Blaze experts at that? Before, he clearly hadn’t discovered any cultivators above Constellation level in Nine Provinces.

"You three, I am Black Cloud of Zixuan Demon Planet, and pass through this place unintentionally, why have you acted? Is there some misunderstanding?" Black Cloud spoke in a deep voice.

The name of Mount Fangcun’s Dwarf Race was widespread, but Zixuan Demon Planet was not weak either. Currently, he found himself unable to contend against these three alone, hoping they would be wary of Zixuan and leave some room between them hence he promptly introduced himself and his background.

Moreover, he knew, Mount Fangcun’s various divisions roam the stellar space, rarely making enemies with powerful beings, because once enmities are formed, targeted sieges might occur.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the three Dwarf Race Sun Blaze cultivators merely looked at him indifferently, showing no intention to respond.

He suddenly turned his head towards Lu Ye, who watched not far away, filled with disbelief.

Given the current situation, he was entirely certain that the three Sun Blaze individuals were called upon by Lu Ye for aid. Although he had heard of Lu Ye’s good relations with the Dwarf Race, there was a talisman shop run by the Dwarf Race on Three Worlds Island, but no one had ever mentioned... their relationship was this good, three Sun Blaze cultivators summoned at will?

The key is... how did he summon them? He didn’t understand.

"Do it," Lu Ye spoke lightly.

"Dragon’s Wail!" Chen Xuanhai whispered, the talisman sword like a dragon, roaring loudly, merging with the sword light charging towards Black Cloud.

Su Yuqing formed a seal with one hand, her serene face calm, sending out waves of purple light, while Woo Qimo’s body was surrounded by purple light, somehow transforming into a fierce exotic beast, furiously attacking.

If it were another place, even in a three-on-one scenario, if Black Cloud intended to escape, it’s possible the three Dwarf Race Sun Blaze would have no effective method unless they were willing to exchange injuries, but this place was ultimately a scene created by Number Nine, with limited ability, and wasn’t as expansive as it appeared on the surface, the actual area for Sun Blaze to contend was only a specific region, all other parts were illusory and couldn’t be accessed.

As a result, Black Cloud found himself in a tragic situation.
