A single glance was all it took, and the sight was terrifying.

However, the attack from the three Jiang Family Martial Ancestors—an assault that made even Tan Chang's scalp tingle—failed to arouse even a sliver of interest in Xu Lai.

He had given them a chance. It was these people from the Jiang Family who didn't want to live.

With a wave of his hand, the bodies of Jiang Chen and the other two attackers suddenly stiffened. Even their attacks froze, as if the very space around them had been frozen solid.

Young Master Jiang Tengyun, who had been wearing a cold, self-satisfied smirk, spoke in a chilling voice, "Attack! What are you standing there for?"

"..."

The three Jiang Family Martial Ancestors couldn't utter a word, nor could they even blink. In the next moment, they dissipated like smoke and vanished from the mortal realm.

Witnessing this eerie scene, Jiang Tengyun's pupils constricted sharply, and an endless fear flooded his heart!

He too was a Martial Artist. But because he started his Cultivation late, he was only at the early Sixth Grade. He had set his sights on Ye Wuxuan in hopes of quickly advancing his Boundary. It was also from Ye Wuxuan that he had learned about the infant and about Xu Lai's family.

But he had never expected Xu Lai to be this powerful!

Suddenly, Jiang Tengyun shoved Lyu He in front of him, shouting angrily, "It's the Flower Fairy!"

That's right.

Only that illustrious Divine Gate Realm expert, whose fame had spread far and wide in the Martial Dao World, could make three Martial Ancestors evaporate into thin air in an instant.

The Flower Fairy!

These three words seemed to possess a kind of magic, causing Tan Chang, who was entangled with the nineteen Jiang Family shadows, to shudder. He laughed heartily. The Senior has finally made her move! Scum. All are mere ants beneath the Divine Gate. Prepare to face the wrath of Senior Flower Fairy!

However, Tan Chang quickly sensed something was wrong. It seemed Senior Flower Fairy had only helped Xu Lai deal with the three Martial Ancestors, with no intention of assisting him…

His mind raced. After careful consideration, he reached a conclusion—

Could it be... this is also a test for me!? But I'm a strategist, not a god of war!

Gritting his teeth, Tan Chang desperately poured out his Spiritual Energy. Attacks resembling terrifying tidal waves smashed toward the Jiang Family's shadows.

Xu Lai looked calmly at Jiang Tengyun and said, "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"You!" Jiang Tengyun's expression was a mixture of anger and fear.

And Lyu He, now being used as a human shield, had a deathly pale face. "Young Master…"

"Shut up!" Jiang Tengyun took out a Jade Slip from his robes and crushed it violently. "Father, Venerate, save me!"

「Three kilometers away.」

In a hotel room, Jiang Guoyuan looked uncertainly at the Venerate by his side. "The Flower Fairy has made a move?"

"No." The Venerate's gaze was like a torch, staring intently at Xu Lai from across the great distance. A cold smile played on his lips. "That's Xu Lai!"

"What!?" Jiang Guoyuan exclaimed in shock.

"Interesting." The Venerate's lips curled up. "There probably isn't any Flower Fairy at all. This Dragon Vein isn't some blessed land of the Divine Gate; it's a Formation created by Xu Lai!"

HISS!

Jiang Guoyuan sucked in a sharp breath. Hua Country's three Dragon Veins and ten Spirit Veins all took hundreds, even thousands, of years to form. The ability to conjure a Dragon Vein out of thin air with one's own power was simply unheard of!

"Xu Lai might not be from Earth, or rather, his Cultivation might not be Earth's Martial Dao. The moment he attacked, he used Divine Sense..." The Venerate's smile widened. "Interesting. I always knew Earth wasn't so simple, but I never expected to find so many fellow cultivators."

"Let's go. We'll go meet him!"

With that, the Venerate's figure vanished. Jiang Guoyuan suppressed the shock in his heart and teleported to the battlefield.

"Father, Venerate!"

Seeing the two figures appear, Jiang Tengyun's fear dissipated, slowly replaced by a sense of security. His father was a Ninth Grade Martial Ancestor, and the Venerate's strength was even more unfathomable. In Jiang Tengyun's eyes, the safest place in the world was right behind them.

Just like this very moment.

"I advise you to hand over the Dragon Vein. I can make the decision to let you and your family leave safely," the black-robed Jiang Family Venerate said in a hoarse voice. "On this Earth, let's stay out of each other's way. How about it?"

"Venerate!!!" Jiang Tengyun panicked. If they let Xu Yiyi go, how could he continue to drink her blood to rapidly raise his Boundary? As for Xu Lai and Ruan Tang, his interest in them was even more intense!

"Be quiet," Jiang Guoyuan scolded angrily.

Jiang Tengyun reluctantly fell silent.

"You think you're worthy?" Xu Lai looked at the Jiang Family's Venerate, his face expressionless. But in his heart, he confirmed that the one backing the Jiang Family was indeed a remnant of the Ancient Demon Clan from the Eastern Immortal Domain.

"Hehe." The Jiang Family's Venerate let out a strange laugh and sent a message with his Divine Sense: "This old one is named Mo Shan, and I come from the strongest race in the Immortal Domain. Since you're also an outsider, you surely don't wish for us to fight until we're both grievously injured."

Xu Lai was silent. He didn't know how to respond…

Ten thousand years ago, the Eastern Immortal Domain's seven million members of the Ancient Demon Clan were nearly wiped out by the Heavenly Court, with only a few demon leaders escaping. The strongest race in the Immortal Domain? Who bestowed that title?

When Mo Shan saw Xu Lai's silence, he assumed the man was intimidated. A flash of murderous intent flickered deep in his eyes. He had already devised a plan: he would launch a sneak attack the moment Xu Lai let his guard down. At that time, the Dragon Vein would be his for the taking!

Trust? Ridiculous. My Ancient Demon Clan is famous for its law of the jungle. Unless you can beat me into submission, I don't care if you're from the Human Race or the Demon Race, whether you have a sacred body or a divine body—you're all trash in my eyes.

"You remnants of the Ancient Demon Clan, did you think you could just escape to Earth and be safe?" Xu Lai sighed softly. "It seems that after the war ten thousand years ago, your Demon Clan... didn't learn its lesson."

BOOM!

Beneath the black robe, Mo Shan's expression changed drastically. He saw through my identity with a single glance! Who in the world is this man!?

"Who are you!?" Mo Shan demanded, his guard raised as if facing a great enemy.

Ten thousand years wasn't a long time for the Immortal Domain, but it wasn't short either. The once-glorious Ancient Demon Clan had fallen from its peak and was now nothing more than homeless dogs. That was why no one cared about them anymore, and they were gradually being forgotten by the Vast Universe. Therefore, anyone who still knew of the Ancient Demon Clan's existence was by no means an ordinary person!

"I am Xu Lai," Xu Lai said with interest.

"I don't care who you are! Since you know my identity, you must die!" An astonishing killing intent swirled around Mo Shan.

He was currently three hundred years old, at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. In the war of extermination ten thousand years ago, some of his ancestors had participated, but they all ended up either dead or crippled. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reduced to hiding on a remote, abandoned planet like Earth.

As for the name Xu Lai...

After one becomes The Supreme Emperor, their name becomes a taboo under the starry sky, unable to be spoken by anyone! This was even more true for the dilapidated Ancient Demon Clan, who wouldn't dare utter the name Xu Lai for fear of being sensed by that unseen existence who transcends all. Therefore, in the historical archives of the Demon Lord, the only mention of Xu Lai was the four words "Emperor Qingfeng"; everything else was glossed over.

And so...

Mo Shan did not recognize Xu Lai.
