Chapter 2166: Chapter 2166

Amidst the uproar of the crowd, after about two hours, finally a figure in white appeared from the distant sky, flying towards them.

"He's here! He's here! Ye Sword Saint is here!"

"Make him give us an explanation!"

"That's right, does he really think he can command everyone in the Nine Realms?!"

"Hmph, a member of the Human Clan, what right does he have?!"

The crowd murmured angrily, ready to unite against Ye Sword Saint.

Su Yang and his companions looked worried. With so many people here, wasn't Ye Sword Saint coming into danger?

Ye Sword Saint moved swiftly, arriving at the scene in the blink of an eye. He scanned the crowd, his gaze finally landing on Ye Wantong.

Ye Wantong's face was already streaked with tears. She rushed forward, hugging Ye Sword Saint tightly.

"Silly child!" Ye Sword Saint gently patted Ye Wantong's hair, chuckling softly, "How long has it been since we've met, is this necessary?"

The crowd, who had been clamoring just moments before, suddenly fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at this scene in astonishment. What did this mean? What was this woman's relationship with Ye Sword Saint?

The crowd exchanged glances, but it was a few people from the Heavenly Realm who stepped forward first.

The leader was an elder with a very high status in the Heavenly Realm, much higher than that of the Heavenly Court Master.

"Ye," the elder clasped his hands in salute, "I just arrived and heard from a few of my inept juniors that you left word for them not to leave this place. I'm not quite sure what Ye means, are you planning to save a few people from the Human World, or are you intending to punish them?"

Ye Sword Saint glanced at him, then scanned the others who had spoken before, and said softly, "I have no intention of punishing them!"

These words brought a collective sigh of relief from the crowd. The elder also smiled, nodding, "That's more like it. Ye, we all come from the Heavenly Realm. You should heed my advice. It's wise to forgive when possible. In this Endless Starry Sky, conflicts among realms are normal, even the Saints permit it. After all, strength improves most rapidly through combat. They are just doing what they should, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you truly intended to punish them, it would be unreasonable!"

When the elder finished speaking, Ye Sword Saint softly replied, "I'm going to kill them!"

"What!?" The elder's eyes nearly popped out of his head, staring at Ye Sword Saint in shock, "You... what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" With a subtle motion, Ye Sword Saint sent his longsword flying directly at a slick, powdered-faced man.

The man was startled and tried to run. However, he was no match for the longsword, which pierced through him directly.

The man's strength wasn't weak, but once pierced by the longsword, even his Origin Power was obliterated, and he was killed on the spot!

This scene shocked everyone, and even the elder's eyes were wide with disbelief and anger. He took a deep breath, pointed at Ye Sword Saint, and roared, "Ye Sword Saint, you... you dare to kill someone from the Heavenly Realm, do you realize this is outright betrayal of the Heavenly Realm..."

"Betrayal of the Heavenly Realm?" Ye Sword Saint sneered, "I'm not from the Heavenly Realm, have you forgotten?"

"But you are from the Heavenly Realm..." the elder argued anxiously.

"That was because you forced me there!" Ye Sword Saint replied icily, "Do you not understand how I ended up in the Heavenly Realm?"

The elder was infuriated to the extreme, gritting his teeth, "Fine, you say you aren't from the Heavenly Realm, then the Heavenly Realm will no longer interfere in your affairs. If you have the ability, then kill everyone here. Hmph, I don't believe it, can you defy the heavens with just one man and one sword?"

Ye Sword Saint waved his right hand, and the longsword fell into his grasp. He lightly flicked the sword and replied softly, "I have never thought of defying the heavens, but with one man and one sword, to cut down you all, is more than enough!"

The crowd instantly erupted, angrily cursing Ye Sword Saint for being too arrogant. After all, there were four to five hundred people present. How could one person and one sword possibly slaughter so many?

Ye Sword Saint stood with his sword, waiting for the voices to subside, then leisurely said, "Have you finished speaking?"

The crowd looked at each other, and the elder gritted his teeth, "Finished speaking, so what? Ye Sword Saint, I'm not afraid to tell you. Today, we will protect these people. If you want to kill them, you'll have to step over our corpses!"

"Yes, if you have the ability, kill us first!"

"Ye Sword Saint, do you really think you're invincible? Do you see how many of us there are? Can you fight us all?"

"Everybody, let's go together, he only has one sword, how big of a wave can he stir?"

The crowd roared in anger, their courage bolstered by their numbers, daring to defy Ye Sword Saint.

Ye Sword Saint smiled faintly, not speaking, but simply raised his longsword.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the distant sky, "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Brother Ye, show mercy with your sword!"

The crowd turned to look and saw three people quickly approaching from afar.

Seeing these three, everyone was stunned and immediately bowed down.

For no other reason than the fact that these three people were the top experts of the Heavenly Realm, Demon Clan, and Feather Realm, three experts who had entered the final region.

It can be said that these three people were absolutely major figures in any realm. Those who could enter the final region were all half-step Sub-Saints, and that's what they all were.

A Sub-Saint, although not as powerful as a Saint, is extremely rare in the Nine Realms, revered by all. Because each Sub-Saint has the possibility of becoming a Saint!

The seniority and power of these three people were naturally respected.

The crowd bowed down, and the leading elder excitedly said, "Nanji Immortal, Ye Sword Saint is too arrogant, he actually wants to..."

Before the elder could finish speaking, the leading Nanji Immortal clasped his hands in respect to Ye Sword Saint, loudly declaring, "Congratulations, Brother Ye, congratulations on breaking through to the Sub-Saint Realm. Our Nine Realms welcome another Sub-Saint, it's a blessing for the Nine Realms!"

This declaration caused an uproar, everyone watched with wide eyes, staring in disbelief.

Ye Sword Saint, has broken through to the Sub-Saint Realm?

Ye Sword Saint, has become a Sub-Saint?

At that moment, everyone forgot to speak.

They were all recalling the words Ye Sword Saint had said before, one man and one sword, more than enough to cut them down!

Before, they thought Ye Sword Saint was boasting, now they realized Ye Sword Saint wasn't boasting, he was telling the truth.

The current Ye Sword Saint, never mind cutting down these people, even if there were three more half-step Sub-Saints like the previous ones, it would be no problem at all!

A Sub-Saint, the strongest existence below a Saint, is inherently someone who defies the heavens.

Moreover, as a Sword Cultivator, Ye Sword Saint's attack power far surpasses the average Sub-Saint, not to be measured by normal standards!
