Chapter 867: Chapter 867

"Everyone seems to be in quite a bad mood."

Just as the conflict was about to escalate, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to stop.

A purple figure appeared in front of Wang Yang, followed closely by the four Great Flower Maidens, positioning themselves protectively around Wang Yang.

"What is the meaning of this, Huaying?"

Seeing Huaying stand by Wang Yang with the four Great Flower Maidens, the leader of the Nine Swords Sect coldly questioned.

"It means nothing. Young Master Wang Yang is a friend of the Huaying Sect, and I won’t stand by while the Nine Swords Sect bullies him with superior numbers!"

"Haha, as far as I know, the four Great Flower Maidens from the Huaying Sect ambushed Wang Yang within the Falling Leaves Mountain Range but failed. Yet you still dare to call him a friend?"

Yao Bin, the Mountain Master of Orange Sword Mountain and leader of the Nine Swords Sect, mocked, but Huaying just shook her head and smiled disdainfully.

"The Huaying Sect has long since reconciled with Young Master Wang Yang. As for the Falling Leaves Mountain Range, although my four Great Flower Maidens were defeated, at least they survived!"

"Unlike the Nine Swords Sect’s strongest, the Red Sword Mountain, whose Red Sky Nine Swords set up an Ancient Sword Formation but all perished together!"

Yao Bin was furious. Few knew about this incident, but Huaying’s mention of it today greatly tarnished the Nine Swords Sect’s reputation!

"It seems Huaying is determined to oppose the Nine Swords Sect today!"

Unable to best Huaying in words, Yao Bin brought up the weight of the Nine Swords Sect, the largest of the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, and the one with the most disciples.

"As a Mountain Master, you’re not qualified to question me!"

Huaying’s voice turned cold. She had no patience for Yao Bin and was only buying time for Wang Yang and Cao Man to recover.

"If he’s not qualified, what about me?"

A voice from Qinghua City broke in, followed by a flash of red light. A middle-aged man in a red sword robe appeared before Huaying, hands clasped behind his back, radiating arrogance.

"You’re not qualified either!"

Huaying shook her head with a smile. Though surprised that Long Xiao, Mountain Master of the first Sword Mountain among the Nine Great Sword Mountains, showed up in Qinghua City, her eyes still conveyed disdain.

Clearly, Long Xiao did not impress her.

"As expected, Huaying is arrogant. Our Nine Swords Mountain sends two Mountain Masters, and even we don’t have the right to speak to you. It seems only our Sect Master is qualified to talk to you?"

"Haha, even he isn’t qualified!"

As soon as Huaying finished speaking, the surrounding temperature soared. Flames erupted from within her, and a resounding Phoenix cry echoed through the heavens!

The Flame Domain spread, and behind Huaying, a colossal Phoenix spread its wings, exuding an unbearable heat!

"You have three breaths to decide: leave or die!"

Huaying’s dominating aura left no room for opposition. Long Xiao’s face turned pale. Despite being the Mountain Master of Red Sword Mountain and only second to the Nine Swords Sect’s Sect Master in cultivation, he struggled to breathe in the Flame Domain and couldn’t deploy his Sword Domain!

"Huaying, the girl beside Wang Yang emanates death energy, Nether Ghost Claw, and Nine Nether Ming Flame—proof she’s from the Underworld. Are you willing to oppose the entire cultivation community of the Western Region?"

Long Xiao shouted, his voice empowered with spiritual power, making sure everyone in Qinghua City, including disciples of both sects and other cultivators, heard him loud and clear.

The Underworld is forbidden in the Western Region, and encountering someone from the Underworld means certain death!

Long Xiao’s words undoubtedly placed Huaying against the entire cultivation community!

"Time’s up! I told you, you’re not qualified to speak to me! Holy Domain! Phoenix’s Wrath!"

Huaying seemed to ignore Long Xiao’s accusation, snapping her fingers to unleash the Nirvana Flames, instantly incinerating the entire Nine Swords Sect group to ash!

Seeing this, Long Xiao and Yao Bin tore through the void to escape before the Holy Domain engulfed them. Huaying didn’t stop them.

Killing the two Mountain Masters from the Nine Swords Sect would take considerable effort.

"Huaying, the Nine Swords Sect will remember this!"

From the void came Long Xiao’s final words. Huaying sneered, unafraid, as no one in the Nine Swords Sect, except those old undying figures, could threaten her.

"My lord, leave quickly. I’ll handle things here!"

"Wang Yang thanks Huaying!"

Wang Yang didn’t waste any time. After expressing his gratitude, he carried Lingyu and left, followed by Cao Man and Muxue.

Huaying nodded, understanding that Wang Yang knew her real intention for risking offending the Nine Swords Sect.

"Return to the sect, recall all the disciples outside, and activate the Great Formation!"

Huaying gave her instructions before disappearing. Xia He and the other three Great Flower Maidens exchanged glances and nodded before dispersing in four directions.

Today’s events had undoubtedly created an enmity with the Nine Swords Sect, making it the best choice to recall the disciples and activate the Great Formation.

"My lord, why is Huaying helping us so much, even at the cost of a fallout with the Nine Swords Sect?"
