Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

At the same time, in the First Eternal Pass city, within a secluded pavilion in the Lanqin Clan's stronghold residence.

Qin, the female tycoon of the Lanqin Clan, had already sent the message out.

She stood on the corridor in front of the pavilion, leaning against the railing, her gaze wistfully looking at the distant sky, a hint of reminiscence on her face, tears blurring her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Qin has no other choice.

The connection between you and me was always shallow.

That matter has passed for countless ages, and although Qin still misses you in her heart, she cannot watch the truth be exposed.

Being in the clan, one's body is not one's own.

After all, I married into the Heiji Clan back then, and that is my husband's family, so I have to think about the interests of my husband's family.

Our Lanqin Clan and Heiji Clan, since the marriage alliance back then, have developed to this day, and the relationship is even closer.

In this special era, how can we allow the events of the past to cause gaps between the clans, or even conflicts…"

Qin murmured to herself, tears streaming down her face.

The events of that year were still vivid in her mind.

She could not forget the scene of her fiancé Yu being beheaded, and she often dreamed about it.

But what could she do?

Apart from thinking about Yu in her heart and feeling deeply guilty towards him, she could not do anything, nor could she do anything.

For the sake of the clan's interests, she had to bow her head in the face of reality and choose to marry Ji Feng, the man who had beheaded her fiancé that year.

From that moment on, her fate was linked to the Heiji Clan, and the interests of the Lanqin Clan were also linked to the Heiji Clan.

…

On the Eternal Road, in a certain pass city behind, within a range of palaces in a mountain range filled with vitality, a black-clothed man wearing golden patterns suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked very young, around thirty years old, with extremely sharp eyes, his gaze like two sharp blades, as if to pierce through people.

This man had thick black hair, draped behind his head and on both sides, his features were quite three-dimensional, and he could be considered relatively handsome.

At this moment, with a wave of his hand, a ray of light flashed, and a talisman appeared in his hand.

The moment he saw the contents of the talisman, a cold light burst out from the man's eyes, and his entire aura instantly became extremely cold, causing a layer of black ice to instantly form in the entire room.

"Yu! You have been dead for countless ages, why do you still come out to cause trouble!

You actually left behind a wisp of primordial spirit imprint, you are truly insidious and despicable, thinking that you can bring the truth back to the clan, I have to say, you are really wishful thinking!

Well, back then, you thought you were better than me in everything, but in the end, you lost, and everything you had was under my control.

The woman you loved deeply became my wife, hahaha!"

The man laughed, but when he mentioned his wife, his expression was a little ferocious, and his emotions momentarily lost control.

"Jun Wuxie, originally there was no hatred or grievance between us, but you insisted on meddling in other people's business.

Since that's the case, I have no choice but to let you die!

The world is afraid of you, but in my eyes, Ji Feng, you are just a young brat."

Ji Feng revealed a sinister smile.

He slowly got up, walked out of the palace, and with a single step, instantly disappeared.

…

In the First Pass City, more and more cultivators arrived from trials, making the city quite lively.

The universe is vast, and there are many branch lines on the ancient road of trials, but they will eventually converge at the Eternal Pass, so the number of people is naturally quite large.

On this day, nothing special happened.

Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao, disguised by the Primordial Spirit incarnation, were not attacked.

They strolled around the city for a day, and then also stayed at the Hengqi Inn, asking for a top-class courtyard.

On the second day, the city lord's mansion of Hengguan posted a notice.

The notice appeared in the sky above every area of the city, floating in the void, the golden characters flashing with light, very conspicuous.

The notice stated that the city lord's mansion would open the Hengguan Secret Realm in five days for a chance to give back, for the cultivators to compete for and seize fortune.

The road of trials from now on also needs to enter from the secret realm of the First Eternal Pass. Only by passing the test of the Hengguan Secret Realm can one continue on the journey.

"Brother Wuxie, those people are lurking in the mountains far outside the pass city, and they don't seem to have any intention of entering the city. Could it be that they don't plan to attack in this Eternal Pass?"

"It's hard to say, God Realm experts will definitely not make a move in Hengguan City. At most, only people in the Eternal Saint Realm can make a move.

Otherwise, in full view of the public, if a God Realm expert makes a move, it will leave a handle for Xianyin Mountain, and the Yinming tribe will be in a lot of trouble.

Their experts will wait to enter the road of trials.

As for the Eternal Saint Realm experts, they should be observing in secret, wanting to figure out my bottom line.

As for my identity, it seems that the woman from the Lanqin tribe has not yet told my opponents, but it is definitely not because she doesn't want to, it should be because she doesn't want to be involved in this vortex and get involved with those forces.

When she left the stronghold residence of the Youyu Clan yesterday, she should have passed the message to Ji Feng of the Heiji Clan.

Ji Feng is probably on his way to this Hengguan City now.

Once Ji Feng arrives, my news will fall into the ears of my opponents, and then someone will definitely take action."

In fact, Jun Wuxie didn't need to disguise himself with an incarnation at all.

But he wants to be quiet now, he just wants to be with Yue Yao quietly, and doesn't want to be disturbed.

On the afternoon of the second day, at sunset, Ji Feng arrived in this city.

He met his wife Qin for the first time.

The two met on that high-rise building.

"You've come?"

"I've come." Ji Feng nodded, looking at Qin with gentle eyes, and said, "How is the situation? Have you given the news about Jun Wuxie to those people?"

"No."

Qin shook her head.

Ji Feng frowned when he heard this, and his voice sank slightly: "You always protect yourself very well. When doing anything, you always try your best to separate yourself and your Lanqin Clan cleanly.

Even for this kind of thing, you have to wait for me to come and do it!

For so many years, you have married into my Heiji Clan, but you have never regarded the Heiji Clan as your own home. You still hide the dead Yu in your heart!

It's a pity, Yu is already dead, and you have already married me, the person who personally beheaded Yu's head!

If the truth of the matter is exposed, what do you think the people of your Lanqin Clan, except for a few high-level officials back then, will think of you!

Will the people of the Youyu Clan let you go!

Will the people of the world despise you?"

"Enough!" Qin scolded with a cold face, then turned around and said, "I am very clear about my identity, and I also know that I have already joined the Heiji Clan, so I notified you.

I am very clear about what I should do and how to protect the interests of our two major clans.

But you are the culprit of the incident back then, you should rightfully do more, why should I do this thing?

As a husband, shouldn't you also take on these responsibilities?"

"Is that so? Then have you ever fulfilled the duty of being a wife once?"

Ji Feng looked at Qin coldly and questioned in a deep voice.

Qin didn't say anything, just turned her back to Ji Feng and remained silent.

Ji Feng's facial muscles twisted several times, his chest rose and fell, and finally he took a deep breath, his tone became more gentle, "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. For this matter, you just need to watch, I will solve it myself.

However, it seems that we don't need to take action at all. Leaking his news and letting the people of the Yinming tribe, the Fallen Red Dust, the Soul Hunting Sacred Palace, and the Tianjing Sacred Sect lock his position will make it difficult for him to survive.

In addition to these forces, there are quite a few cultivators who regard him as the biggest threat on the road to eternal competition.

There are too many people in this world who want to kill him, we just need to create opportunities for those people appropriately, and we can reap the benefits."

After Ji Feng finished speaking, his figure disappeared into thin air and instantly appeared in the mountains outside Hengguan City.

…

That night, a shrill scream broke the silence of the First Eternal Pass City, making the silent night suddenly become noisy.

People were awakened by the scream, and before they could figure out what happened, the second scream followed closely.

"It's the Hengqi Inn!"

People from all over the city got out of bed, opened their windows, or came directly to the roof and the street, looking in the direction of the Hengqi Inn.

Above the Hengqi Inn, a brilliant light flashed and disappeared. The void there was in an annihilated state and was slowly healing at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, something flew out of a courtyard of the Hengqi Inn.

People's pupils shrank slightly.

That's not right!

It wasn't flying out, but being thrown out. It was two people, flying all the way to the highest building of the Hengqi Inn.

Immediately afterwards, two war spears pierced through the air, crossed the sky, penetrated the bodies of the two people, and firmly nailed them to the top of the Hengqi Inn, near the inn's signboard, with bright red blood constantly flowing down the spear shaft and dripping down.

"What's going on, who dares to commit murder in Hengguan!"

Soon, a general wearing battle armor arrived with dozens of soldiers. The leading general was a strong man in the Eternal Saint Realm.

His face was cold, staring coldly at the Hengqi Inn in the air, and then looked at the two people who were nailed to death.

What realm were those two people in? Now that they are dead, it is impossible to tell.

"Private fights are strictly prohibited in Hengguan City. If there are private fights, you must go to the arena of life and death to determine life and death!

Who is the murderer, come out immediately and go to the Hall of Law Enforcement with this general to accept the verdict!"

The general's face was stern, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura. The war spear in his hand made a clanging sound, and a sharp spear intent spread out, spreading to the surroundings, causing many people to feel cold all over.

"Private fight?"

A middle-aged man walked out of the Hengqi Inn. It was the shopkeeper of the inn. He looked at the general coldly, "Explain to me what you mean by private fight."

"Hengqi Inn is our property. When guests stay here and are attacked by thugs, almost causing huge casualties!

As the owners of the inn, it is our duty to ensure the safety of our guests and kill the thugs. This is perfectly justified and has nothing to do with the so-called private fights you mentioned!"

"Steward Sun, this general knows that it wasn't your inn's people who took action. Why do you have to take the blame for others and shoulder the responsibility?"

The general obviously didn't believe him and said it directly.

"Hahaha!" The steward surnamed Sun laughed upon hearing this. He put his hands behind his back, stared at the general from a distance, and said, "You came from afar. Do you understand who took action better than I, the one who killed the invaders here?

Tonight's matter is just this steward killing two invading thugs and protecting the safety of the guests. If the general thinks this is the fault of our inn, then this steward does not agree!"

Upon hearing this, the general narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his pupils. He stared at the steward for a moment, then turned and left.

At the moment of turning around, sweat poured down his face in large drops.

That brief eye contact almost caused his mind to collapse!

In the end, his realm was still lower than that of the Eternal Giant, Steward Sun. In an invisible aura confrontation, he was no match at all.

Hengqi Inn has a long-standing reputation in Hengguan. Every fortress city has one. The forces behind them are not small and are the strongest existence besides the three major clans.

"Sun!"

On a certain high-rise building, Ji Feng's face was gloomy.

That general was from their Black Ji Clan and had gone to capture the person under his secret orders.

He didn't expect that Steward Sun of the inn would forcibly protect him.

"This is really interesting. Hengqi Inn actually helped that Jun Wuxie.

Judging from tonight's events, there is an extraordinary expert lurking around Jun Wuxie. Those two Eternal Peak experts were actually killed just like that…"

Ji Feng was not in a good mood. Although many major forces were targeting Jun Wuxie and wanted to kill him quickly,

the regulations in Hengguan City prevented the experts of those forces from blatantly taking action here. They could only launch sneak attacks like before.

However, the sneak attack failed. There was an expert protecting that Jun Wuxie.

In this way, if they wanted to kill him within Hengguan City, it could only be a contest between the younger generation, or perhaps they could intercept and kill him on the Path of Trials.

"Those young masters from Duo Hongchen are extremely powerful, but they are already ahead on the Eternal Path. I'm afraid we can only meet them at the ultimate Hengguan.

Among the trial participants who have come to this Hengguan, I'm afraid few can fight him one-on-one, unless they gang up on him."

When Ji Feng thought of ganging up, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

…

At the same time, inside Hengqi Inn.

"Thank you, Steward Sun, for resolving the situation."

Jun Wuxie, disguised as an Origin Beginning Incarnation, was currently drinking tea with Steward Sun in the courtyard.

His true body was in the adjacent independent courtyard, fully aware of the situation here, taking everything into his eyes.

"God Jun is too polite. To be honest, the elders of the Youyu Clan have already entrusted this old man to treat God Jun well.

When those two came to attack, I originally wanted to take action, but I didn't expect God Jun to be so capable, actually suppressing and killing them within a few strikes. The younger generation surpasses the old.

This old man and his generation are old and should withdraw from the stage of history. Let's just be a quiet innkeeper, hahaha."

"Steward Sun, don't underestimate yourself. An Eternal Giant is the ceiling of strength in this universe."

"God Jun is too kind. The ceiling is only for people outside the Eternal Path.

Here, it's not the ceiling at all. The ceiling is a demigod.

But I digress. Let's talk about what happened just now.

Speaking of which, it's strange that in this kind of situation tonight, the city's order patrol shouldn't come up and arrest people without distinguishing between right and wrong.

The fact is very obvious. Someone sneaked into the inn to attack a guest. The guest counterattacked and killed them, which is legitimate defense, perfectly justified.

This matter does not conform to the style of the Eternal Path's guardian clans.

That general shouldn't have the courage to do this without someone instructing him, otherwise he would have to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to accept judgment!"

Speaking of this, Steward Sun was silent for a moment and said, "God Jun, have you offended any important figures of the Black Ji Clan and had any conflicts with them?

Logically speaking, since God Jun came out of the First Hengguan, you should have never had any contact with the Black Ji Clan before, so there shouldn't be any grudges."

"Yes, I have never had any contact with them before.

Perhaps, we can't rule out the possibility that I have indirectly offended some important figure in their clan."

Steward Sun nodded upon hearing this and said, "God Jun doesn't need to worry about this. The fortress city is not controlled by the Black Ji Clan alone. There are also the Lanqin and Youyu clans. They wouldn't dare to act excessively."
