When the two-foot-long blade landed in front of him, the green immortal qi on it shone and attracted the faceless secret guards to attack. The Divine Venerable did not come back to his senses.
He had imagined it.
He thought of various words, various methods, and various scenes.
He had thought of coercion and bribery. He had thought of paying for a bargaining chip or attacking directly.
Should he snatch it or exchange for it? Should he cooperate or stab him in the back?
As a Divine Venerable mighty expert, his mind was powerful. He could deduce countless plans in an instant, as well as deduce the pros and cons and obtain the final result.
However, the only thing he did not expect was that the Divine Emperor’s sword, a peerless treasure that concerned the rule of the entire world, was floating in front of him.
As long as he reached out and held this sword, he could control the faceless secret guards behind him and have the power to rule the world. From then on, he would walk to the peak of his life.
“Slash—”
A faceless secret guard swung his long saber down, and the blade brushed past the Divine Venerable’s neck.
If it weren’t for the fact that his cultivation was extraordinary and he was an expert at hiding and moving, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge this attack.
Just as he dodged the blade, the Divine Venerable subconsciously grabbed the broken sword.
Any cultivator would subconsciously hold this sword at such a time, right?
If he did not reach for such a treasure in front of him, he deserved to be poor for the rest of his life.
In the face of a fortuitous opportunity, he refused to let go.
“Boom!”
With the sword in his hand, the saber light arrived.
A Divine Venerable was a Divine Venerable after all.
Han Muye looked at the figure submerged in the saber light with emotion.
Faint golden spiritual light barriers rose, but they were ignored by the blade and shattered.
The saber struck the Divine Venerable’s body, and blood bloomed on his green-black robe.
This robe was a treasure that could even block the sabers of the secret guards of the Divine Court.
“Boom!”
Spiritual light exploded. The Divine Venerable, whose head was covered in blood, flew out in horror and landed 1,000 feet away.
His entire body trembled. His head, face, body, and arms were covered in slashes. His clothes were ragged, as if he had fled here and was being chased by a vicious dog.
Looking up, he saw Han Muye, who had changed into a moon-white robe at some point.
At this moment, Han Muye was wearing a white robe, a jade crown, and a long sword at his waist. He stood in place, motionless.
However, when his gaze met Han Muye’s, he saw a smile in Han Muye’s eyes.
Conspiracy!
Everything was a conspiracy!
The faceless secret guards of the Divine Court were not the ones protecting the Divine Emperor’s sword. They were the ones chasing after him!
All this time, this man had been hunted down by faceless secret guards and experts from all over the Immortal Source World.
This situation had not stopped for 10 years.
The expression of the Divine Venerable holding the broken sword changed. When he looked at Han Muye again, his expression had already stiffened.
It was completely unimaginable that he could escape for 10 years with such a continuous pursuit.
What did this guy mean by giving him the Divine Emperor’s sword?
There was no time to think about it.
On the other side, Han Muye issued a silent warning.
The Divine Venerable moved, and the phantom of a long black claw behind him dissipated, revealing the figure of a middle-aged cultivator with a fierce expression.
He was not a Divine Venerable, but his combat strength was extremely powerful. He dared to sneak attack a Divine Venerable.
“Zhao Zhenghe, I was just curious about who could have the Divine Emperor’s sword for 10 years. So it’s you.” The fierce middle-aged man’s face was cold as he shouted, “It’s you. That’s not surprising.”
“The name ‘Dark Shadow Divine Venerable’ is not for nothing.”
As the middle-aged cultivator spoke, he looked at Han Muye not far away.
Dark Shadow Divine Venerable, Zhao Zhenghe.
Han Muye had really heard this name before.
On the sixth day, there was no lone expert from the sect behind him.
Zhao Zhenghe’s greatest ability was to hide. He had offended many powerhouses from the Upper Three Heavens and had escaped pursuit.
Hearing the middle-aged cultivator’s words, Zhao Zhenghe’s expression was cold. He wanted to speak, but in the end, he did not.
Why would a Divine Venerable need to explain?
Moreover, there was no time to explain.
The faceless secret guards arrived again.
With a cold snort, Zhao Zhenghe’s body flashed and he flew away.
The direction he was going was not the place where the Dao competition was taking place.
The middle-aged cultivator turned to look at Han Muye. Seeing Han Muye’s calm expression, he nodded and followed Zhao Zhenghe.
In the eyes of this middle-aged cultivator, it was best not to offend an expert who could block Dark Shadow Divine Venerable Zhao Zhenghe and injure him for no reason.
“Boom!”
A roaring sound came from the direction in which Zhao Zhenghe fled.
The figures of the faceless secret guards darted around, and the powerful figures silently departed.
Han Muye stood where he was and looked over, but he did not move.
He turned around and walked towards the Dao battleground.
He didn’t walk fast.
In the void, a distance of a thousand miles should have been traversed in an instant, but it took him three days to get there.
During those three days, many people saw him.
However, no one tried to stop him.
At this moment, Han Muye exhibited a mysterious state that was difficult to comprehend. Even those who saw him were unwilling to make a move against him.
Moreover, everyone was paying attention to Zhao Zhenghe, who had taken away the Divine Emperor’s sword.
From the outside, the battlefield of the Dao competition was shrouded in a thin layer of light screen.
If the living beings in the light screen wanted to come out, they needed the power to suppress the Dao Ancestors.
Only an extremely powerful Divine Venerable would be able to do this.
On the other hand, if the creatures outside the Dao Competition wanted to enter, they could directly step over.
The battlefield of the Dao competition welcomed all living beings from outside.
This was because these beings could potentially become resources for the Dao competition.
