Chapter 167: Still Needing Ye Xuan’s Help
Such a terrifying aura was conjured up in an instant; truly, the elder’s cultivation was exceptional.
If that black orb were to fall from the sky, the lower-cultivated disciples of the Jade Fox Palace would certainly not remain unharmed.
Ren Bai and Hu Lan, being tied up by the Green Snake and the Red Bat demons, were also unable to extricate themselves to come to the aid.
The disciples of the Jade Fox Palace could only abandon their plan to intercept Wan Yuxin, joining forces to form an array, and together face the huge light orb falling from the sky.
Hu Qianzao gathered spells in her hands, leading the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace, condensing spiritual power into a giant Jade Fox imprint in the air, forming a barrier that blocked the falling light orb.
Her gaze turned towards Ye Xuan, her eyes carrying a hint of pleading, yet she was too embarrassed to speak. She had just agreed to use all her strength to repay Ye Xuan.
Yet unexpectedly, before she could begin to repay Ye Xuan, she now needed Ye Xuan’s help. Or rather, she needed Qingxue, who was by Ye Xuan’s side, to help her.
In this chaotic battle among the immortals, the invading forces of the Evil Sky Sect were several notches stronger than the Jade Fox Palace.
Furthermore, with the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array temporarily disabled, many of the less cultivated disciples lacked the ability to protect themselves, making the Jade Fox Palace highly vulnerable.
At this time, without strong external support the fate of the Jade Fox Palace might not be better than what was previously foreseen in the future visions.
Now, only Taihua Sword Saint Qingxue could help the Jade Fox Palace.
“Qingxue…” At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn’t afford to consider what the situation was. He turned his head to Qingxue and asked.
“Mm–!” Mo Qingxue nodded, she naturally understood Ye Xuan’s intention.
Qingxue took out her immortal sword, and soared into the air, charging towards the elder in the sky.

In the air, behind her, the phantom of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique materialized, and with a leap, she thrust her sword fiercely at the Evil Sky Sect elder.
“What–!!!” The Evil Sky Sect elder couldn’t help but show a face full of shock; he no longer cared about attacking the Jade Fox Palace and instead, his figure flashed, dodging Qingxue’s attack.
Seeing the cold woman who had flown up to him, the elder’s expression slightly changed, “Nine Heavens Sword Technique, Taihua Qingxue Elder, how come you are here–!”
During his speech, a hint of wariness flashed through his eyes. It seemed today was a complete miscalculation.
Qingxue’s expression remained cold; behind her, the phantom of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Technique was emitting endless sword intent, coldly looking at the Evil Sky Sect elder.
“Who are you? How do you know me!” She asked.
“The name Taihua Qingxue, I have naturally heard… I am one of the Leaders of the Evil Sky Sect.” The elder said: “I am Gu Li.”
“That old woman is also one of the Leaders of the Evil Sky Sect, Blood Granny–!”
At this moment, the old woman who was single-handedly blocking the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace also spoke, “This battle today is indeed the time for our Evil Sky Sect to make a name for ourselves…”
“I thought it was just about annihilating this Jade Fox Palace, but didn’t expect Taihua Qingxue Elder to be here too, it’s perfect to annihilate the Taihua Sword Saint, and enhance the fame of our Evil Sky Sect.”
“Evil Sky Sect… Never heard of it.” Qingxue frowned.
Suddenly deploying two great demons, two immortal-level powerhouses, and so many warriors. When did such a powerful evil faction appear in the cultivation world?
“Ye Xuan, please hurry and stop Wan Yuxin, if she manages to destroy the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array, the Immortal Alliance won’t be able to come to our aid, and if it takes too long, we will surely be defeated.”
At this moment, Hu Qianzao was leading the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace in formation, together resisting the old woman who claimed to be Blood Granny, and she turned to shout to Ye Xuan.
Currently, the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t spare any elite forces to stop Wan Yuxin. From Wan Yuxin’s previous actions, it seemed that only Ye Xuan could stop her. Yet, as she spoke, she felt even more awkward.
Just moments ago she had been calling for battle against Ye Xuan, then she spoke of repaying him, and now, before she had done anything, she was seeking Ye Xuan’s help again.
How could she not feel embarrassed?!
However, she hadn’t anticipated such a drastic change in the situation; the Evil Sky Sect, which was supposed to attack the Jade Fox Palace only years later, had suddenly launched an attack now.
And although she had made all the preparations in advance, she had not expected the attacking enemies to be even stronger than she had prepared for—!!!
Honestly, if today she had actually killed Ye Xuan, offending Qingxue, and consequently offending the Taihua Immortal Secr, the Jade Fox Palace would really be in danger.
Fortunately, at this moment, no great mistakes had been made. Though it was somewhat awkward, she now had no choice but to ask Ye Xuan for help first.
“Be careful yourself–!”
At this time, what more did Ye Xuan need to hear from Hu Qianzao? He had already left with Yu Ling’er and chased in the direction Wan Yuxin had left.
What exactly the Evil Sky Sect was, Ye Xuan did not know. Previously when he was writing the story, he had created the sect on a whim just to clear his own name.
But now, he finally understood, whether the script came first or the Evil Sky Sect, the power of this evil faction exceeded his expectations.
In his script, the Evil Sky Sect could only take advantage of the times when Ren Bai and Hu Lan were in seclusion to launch a surprise attack, seizing the Jade Fox Palace’s unique Cleansing Stone amid the chaos.
But now, Wan Yuxin had brought two great demons and two immortal-level evil cultivators. Moreover, with the Evil Sky Sect having many more elites than the Jade Fox Palace, the battle was overwhelmingly disadvantageous for the Jade Fox Palace.
Also, if the Evil Sky Sect’s people managed to steal the Cleansing Stone, it would be a big problem. In any case, he had to help the Jade Fox Palace with all his might. Now was not the time to follow the script; if he died now, he might really die.
If the Jade Fox Palace falls, he definitely wouldn’t end up in a good place either.
“Ah–!!!”
Accompanied by a scream, two guards of the Jade Fox Palace who were stationed at the grand array’s hub fell to the ground, covered in blood, their life and death unknown.
As Wan Yuxin and a group of people in black entered the hub of the array, her eerie gaze curiously surveyed the surroundings.
“So, this is the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array, huh? Hehe, what ancient immortal array can compare to the true boundless techniques taught by the Evil Sky Emperor? Once I destroy this place, it will also allow the world to witness the might of the Evil Sky Emperor.”
As she was about to gather evil energy, suddenly, a surge of sword energy shot towards her, forcing her to abandon her spellcasting and dodge the sword strike.
The sword energy hit the ground, and its sword intent remained potent and undispersed. Turning her head, she saw Ye Xuan standing there, his gaze carrying an indescribable meaning, quietly watching her.
