BXBX NOVEL Chapter 437 - The Immortal Realm Is Shaken
When it stopped in the air, the light emitted by the flames suddenly disappeared.
It was as if an electric lamp had suddenly run out of battery.
Without light, the place fell into endless darkness again.
However, there were some changes this time. There seemed to be no more sounds as well.
It felt as if one was in the dark depths of space, without light or sound, as if time had stopped.
On Luo Ding Sect’s side, on the Demons’ side, the young juniors tried to use their divine consciousness to check the situation.
However, once his divine consciousness spread out, they couldn’t return. They still couldn’t see anything
Apart from the Immortal King experts, no one present knew what had happened.
Because of the darkness, because there was no sound, time had lost meaning.
Everyone could only silently count their heartbeats to record the time that had passed. But they had only counted a few times when the sky turned bright!
The stars dotted the night sky again. They were colorful and beautiful, but it felt like something was missing.
Starlight and moonlight shone on the ground again.
But the ground was no longer there...
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock when they saw the scene before them.
The ground below had disappeared, replaced by a huge pit that covered a radius of hundreds of kilometers. It was extremely dark, like a bottomless abyss.
“This... this...”
The juniors of the Luo Ding Sect and the Demon race gaped in shock, not knowing what to say.
Above the abyss, Qin Chuan stood proudly in the air. His jet-black hair fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyes were indifferent to everything. There was no trace of emotion in them.
He stood there quietly like a god from ancient times, making people fearful.
Opposite him, Peng Yuhu had returned to his human form.
His face was pale, and he was panting heavily. His body was slightly hunched, and his eyes were dull. He exuded weakness and exhaustion from head to toe.
No one knew what he had just experienced.
A few seconds earlier were the darkest moments he had faced since he could remember things.
He never expected that the Law of Devouring he was so proud of would be so weak. “I lost!” Although Peng Yuhui was indignant, he still admitted his defeat. With that, he dragged his weak body back to his side. “Demon Emperor, I’m sorry to disappoint you,” said Peng Yuhui.
“It’s not your problem. The opponent is too strong.” Lu Wei patted his shoulder. “Have a good rest.”
“Yes!” Peng Yuhui moved to the back of the group. His companions felt upset seeing him. They found it difficult to accept Peng Yuhui’s defeat.
Some of his companions came over to comfort him.
Peng Yuhui did not have any negative emotions. He was very carefree and very calm, facing his own defeat head-on.
The other seven paragons looked at Qin Chuan with wariness in their eyes.
Qin Chuan’s strength had completely exceeded their expectations.
Compared to the other seven paragons, Peng Yuhui could not be considered the strongest, but the gap between them was actually very small.
The fact that Qin Chuan could defeat Peng Yuhui in such a manner meant that he also had the ability to defeat them.
On the other hand, the Luo Ding Sect was pleasantly surprised.
Out of every one’s expectations, Qin Chuan actually won the battle and defeated the Demon race’s paragon, Peng Yuhui.
This was completely unexpected.
After Qin Chuan won this round, the score would be tied. A draw meant that they had succeeded in this challenge.
News of the Luo Ding Sect’s tie quickly spread to the rest of the Immortal Realm.
All factions were shaken.
The gambling dens were filled with wails.
This was because when everyone saw the final match information, they all believed that the Luo Ding Sect would definitely lose.
Therefore, they had all placed their bets on the Luo Ding Sect’s defeat.
But now, the Luo Ding Sect had miraculously won the final round and made a draw.
This was unacceptable to most people.
Some people felt that there was definitely something going on behind the scenes. The Luo Ding Sect and the Demon race must have messed around.
Many gambling dens stopped all the people who bet on a draw that night.
A large number of people gathered at the entrance of the Luo Ding Sect.
On the second day, there was a sea of people in front of the gates. It was an unprecedented sight.
They were all above the Immortal realm and were clamoring for the Luo Ding Sect to provide compensation.
The entire Luo Ding Sect was busy.
They did not expect this to happen either.
Xu Longfei immediately gathered all the elders to maintain the situation. Otherwise, the gates would be beaten.
In the sect’s main hall.
“Sect Master Xu, as long as you agree to let me have Sun Luote, I guarantee that I will definitely help your sect resolve the problems outside. At the same time, your sect can also list any other additional conditions.
“As long as it is within a range I can accept, I will not bargain.” The Demons did not leave because Lu Wei wanted to take Sun Luote away.
Xu Longfei said, “Demon Emperor Lu, I’ve already said that no matter what conditions you offer, Sun Luote is a disciple of the Luo Ding Sect and not a bargaining chip for a deal. I definitely won’t give him to you.” “Sun Luote has the blood of us Demons in his veins. He should return to the Demon realm.”
Xu Longfei said, “He was born from a union of Demons and humans. He doesn’t entirely belong to you, Demons.
“Besides, he was born in the Immortal realm and belongs to the Immortal realm.
“There is no need to bring this up again, Demon Emperor Lu. “If you insist, I’ll have to close the door and send you off.”
Lu Wei saw that Xu Longfei’s attitude was firm, but he was still very calm as if he was very confident. “Sect Master Xu, you have to understand that once the Combat Sage Ape bloodline in Sun Luote’s body is activated, his body will gradually begin to demonize.
“Do you think it’s safe to let him stay in the Immortal realm after he completely transforms into a Demon?” “He is a disciple of the Luo Ding Sect. I will explain it clearly to everyone. I guarantee that Sun Luote’s identity is clean enough.”
Lu Wei said, “I know that Sect Master Xu has many friends in the various factions of the Immortal realm and enjoys some fame.
“But do you think everyone will believe you?
“Those anti-Demon activists would not approve of Sun Luote’s identity. “Once a Demon’s bloodline is activated, they will no longer recognize him as a human and will definitely kill him.”
Lu Wei wasn’t exaggerating.
Although the interactions between the Immortal Realm and the Demon race had been very active in recent years, and it seemed like their relationship had improved, most factions were still very hostile towards the Demon race.
Xu Longfei also knew this.
He had also thought of a way out.
“I can hand Sun Luote over to a first-tier faction or those super factions. With such a background, Sun Luote should be safe!” said Xu Longfei.
He did this because he considered the future safety of the Immortal Realm. One had to know that the Immortal Realm and the Demon race had always been enemies, and the problem had not been resolved for a long time.
The Demons urgently wanted to replace the Immortal realm. This could be seen in the Demons’ challenge.
Even though they had suffered crushing defeats since the beginning of the challenge, the more they suffered, the braver they became. The gap between the younger generation and the Immortal realm was already very small.
Sun Luote possessed the bloodline of the Combat Sage Ape. This bloodline was even higher than that of the Golden-Winged Roc. If he agreed to Lu Wei’s request, wouldn’t that be adding an opponent to the Immortal Realm?
Xu Longfei had mainly considered this point, so he was determined not to hand Sun Luote over.
Although neither party had made it clear, they both understood.
To Lu Wei, he had to bring Sun Luote back.
Such a bloodline could not be left in the Immortal Realm. When the time came, if Sun Luote was used to deal with the Demons, it would be a big joke.
Seeing that they couldn’t come to an agreement, Lu Wei no longer held back. “Sect Master Xu, if my guess is correct, you must have hidden Qin Xiaochuan!” said Lu Wei meaningfully.
