Chapter 1424 (Raw 1414): Chu Yang's Scheme

Everyone knew that the three Demon Royal Halls were here as a vanguard to scout out news about the Evil Shadow Sword. However, none of the many outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm knew anything about it. The special characteristics, the method to obtain it after finding it, or how to make it acknowledge one as master after obtaining it were all secrets.

Even the outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm were interested in the Evil Shadow Sword. Who could be sure that this Evil Shadow Sword would not be useful to Kunlun Realm cultivators?

Furthermore, the Evil Shadow Sword was in the Kunlun Realm, so many people took it for granted that the sword was their treasure.

When questioned by Chu Yang, the Blood Demon Royal Hall's Wang Feng smiled coldly. "The Sun Palace's Chu Yang, you are also interested in the Evil Shadow Sword? However, you are not qualified for it."

"Even on your deathbed, you Demons are still so stubborn. Truly reckless."

The one who spoke was the Black Sea's Sima Lingxuan, a genius swordsman who came from the Sky Dome Realm together with Xiao Chen. Now, he had completely matured and become the leader of the Black Sea, rising quickly in this golden age.

When Sima Lingxuan spoke, the many cultivators of the Black Sea echoed their agreement.

"You have another seven minutes to think about this. Otherwise, none of you will leave this place; all of you will die!" Chu Yang said indifferently. Then, he closed his eyes and stopped speaking. He looked like he was the leader of everyone here. 

On the Supreme Sky Sect's side, An Junxi's lips curled up as he said, "This Chu Yang really thinks of himself as our leader. It looks like things are going too smoothly for the Heavenly Starry Ocean, and they are getting arrogant. However, the Deity Dao Union's people are not here yet."

Shui Lingling looked around and said softly, "This is rather problematic. He appears to be very eager for the Evil Shadow Sword. My master said that the Evil Shadow Sword possesses startling Demonic Qi. If one is not careful, the Demonic Qi will rebound and pull one into the Demonic Dao."

The three Crown Scions quickly discussed a countermeasure.

We absolutely cannot reveal the Evil Shadow Sword's secret. Otherwise, we will lose not only our positions as Crown Scions but also our lives.

However, what should we do now? This Chu Yang is pressing us very hard, not giving us a chance at all.

This fellow is just a dancing clown. If any one of the Crown Scions from the Celestial Demon Royal Hall, the Snow Demon Royal Hall, the Earth Demon Royal Hall, or the Shadow Demon Royal Hall were here, he would not be so arrogant.

If there is really no way out, we can only leave by ourselves and inform the other Crown Scions of the news we obtained about the Demon Sword. At least we will have contributed.

How unfortunate that our Demon Royal Halls' elites are going to fall here!

Look at that Chu Yang; he is proud and arrogant. Before we leave, we can make use of it… 

After discussing for a while, the three Crown Scions came up with an idea. As Crown Scions, even the weakest Crown Scions, these three were extremely decisive and had the boldness of a major character.

They were truly unlucky. If their forces had not been crippled by Xiao Chen at the start, their three Demon Royal Halls would not have been treated like this.

However, there was nothing to complain about when one's luck was down.

Due to making a move, Xiao Chen also nearly died in the Savage Battlefield. In this light, everything was fair.

"Chu Yang, we agree to tell you the secret of the Evil Shadow Sword. However, you have to guarantee that you will let the three of us go," the Blood Demon Royal Hall's Wang Feng said loudly with a strange expression on his face.

Chu Yang said indifferently from the inside of the Cyclic Astral Palace's war chariot, "Don't worry. As long as you tell me the Evil Shadow Sword's secret, I will definitely let the three of you go. With so many outstanding talents here, I have to keep my word."

"Good. If you dare to, then come over. I will tell you the Evil Shadow Sword's secret," Wang Feng said.

Chu Yang smiled coldly in his heart, not showing any fear at all.

"Be careful," the Holy Daughter Fu Hongyao said out of concern.

"Don't worry; Old Hong will accompany me."

After he said that, two figures descended from the Sun War Chariot. One was Chu Yang, and the other was an old man with a deep cultivation from the Cyclic Astral Palace.

The gazes of all the outstanding talent focused on Chu Yang. At this moment, not many people were willing to take risks like this.

These outstanding talents were happy that Chu Yang dared to step up. They did not have to worry about Chu Yang not telling them the secret. The Cyclic Astral Palace alone would not be able to cover the entire Dragon Burial Mound. There would be hope only if everyone worked together.

"Shui Lingling, what do you think?" An Junxi asked as he looked at Chu Yang's back.

Shui Lingling did not really care. She said, "It's fine. Master only said not to let the Demons obtain the Evil Shadow Sword. Chu Yang taking the lead is not exactly a bad thing for us. As for what he wants to do, that is his problem."

Some people were indifferent like Shui Lingling. However, there were also people who were dissatisfied with Chu Yang taking the lead like that, feeling that he was standing out too much.

Those Crown Scions of the eighteen Demon Royal Halls were not willing to submit to others. The outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm were equally proud, not deeming themselves weaker than Chu Yang.

"Brother Chu is really courageous. You truly live up to being the leader of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. It looks like the other outstanding talents of the Heavenly Starry Ocean submit to you for a good reason," Wang Feng, the Blood Demon Crown Scion, said in a strange and sinister tone.

Yi Xuan, the Winged Demon Crown Scion, smiled coldly and said, "Tell the old man by you not to move. Come over alone. Don't worry; the three of us will not bring our Dao Protectors."

Chu Yang waved his hand to get the old man to wait. Then, he moved forward alone.

The three Crown Scions and Chu Yang approached each other without bringing any of their men.

The atmosphere immediately became tense. Everyone noticed something strange about this scene.

An Junxi exchanged glances with Shui Lingling, their expressions turning grave. Then, he raised his hand and gestured. All the Thunder and Lightning Palace cultivators placed their hands on their weapons, secretly gathering their aura.

The Supreme Sky Sect cultivators also drew back their bowstrings and slowly gathered killing Qi.

Sima Lingxuan whispered a few words to a Great Bandit's descendant. All the Black Sea cultivators focused, preparing to attack at any time.

Clearly, something was not quite right. Everyone here was not stupid. From the moment the Winged Demon Royal Hall's Yi Xuan told Chu Yang to come alone, the situation turned strange.

Demons were naturally crafty. This is not the outstanding talents' first time to deal with Demons.

However, Chu Yang had already stepped into the limelight. He could not retreat. All he could do was steel himself and go up. If he retreated from this, he would appear untrustworthy and fearful of even minor things.

The tense atmosphere made the air feel heavy, stifling the breath.

At the back of the Supreme Sky Sect's group, when Situ Gang noticed this tense atmosphere, a fire blazed in his heart. He came from one of the battle realms of the three thousand lower realms and possessed an innate love for battle. When he thought about how he could not participate in such a scene and had to guard this ice sculpture, he felt depressed.

"Everything was going well. Of all things, why did I carry you back and make things difficult for myself?" Situ Gang said to the ice sculpture covered in black cloth by his side.

As Chu Yang and the three Crown Scions approached each other, the tense atmosphere became even more suffocating.

However, Chu Yang looked oblivious, continuing to walk forward like nothing was going on.

Wang Feng and the other two Crown Scions were somewhat tense. As they saw Chu Yang approach, their footsteps slowed as they surreptitiously gathered their Primordial Energy.

However, no matter how slow they walked, their encounter was inevitable.

Before the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Chu Yang and the three Demons finally reached each other, facing each other.

"Speak, then. You can tell me the Evil Shadow Sword's secret now," Chu Yang said indifferently.

Wang Feng smiled coldly and said, "You fool! You really think—"

However, before Wang Feng could finish, a bright, golden light came from Chu Yang's body. His body became like the sun, radiating boundless heatwaves and golden light. Catching them off guard, the piercing light blinded them, inflicting pain.

Then, Chu Yang charged forward at lightning speed. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he grabbed Wang Feng by the neck and raised him.

Chu Yang's palm gave off a bright golden light that burned Wang Feng, causing him even more pain.

All this happened in an instant. The three Crown Scions never expected Chu Yang to make the first move. They were still planning to attack together and take Chu Yang down in an instant.

However, the situation turned around in such an incredible manner. The eyes of the Fire Demon Royal Hall's Xuan Yan and the Winged Demon Royal Hall's Yi Xuan hurt, scaring them into retreating; they did not dare to remain.

"Do you think that I do not know what you are plotting? I never thought of really obtaining any information from you. Die!"

Chu Yang attacked cruelly, not giving the Blood Demon Royal Hall's Dao Protector a chance to rescue Wang Feng. The dense Solar True Flame burned Wang Feng to ashes.
