After so many years, he was finally facing the
Nie Li knew the Demon God Sect inside and out. They were old adversaries — in his previous life, he had fought several of the sect's core members and understood their strength down to the last detail.
With a sharp whistle, Nie Li dissolved into an afterimage and disappeared into the void.
Hundreds of miles away, three figures hovered silently in the void. All three were elders of the Demon God Sect. Leading them was the Second Elder,
Feng Yu was a figure of considerable standing within the Demon God Sect — the third most important person in the entire organization.
The other two were the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Elders. Their status was far inferior to the Second Elder's, but their strength was still formidable, having reached the early stage of the Martial Sovereign realm.
"Elder Feng Yu, rest assured — the Heavenly Sound Sacred Sect is completely surrounded. Not even a fly can escape," the Sixteenth Elder said with an ingratiating grin, his gaze inevitably drifting across Feng Yu's generous bust, a barely perceptible flicker of greed crossing his eyes.
"Xu Hu, don't be so quick to boast. If even a single one gets away, you'll answer for it," Feng Yu replied with a cold snort.
"Understood. I've laid a net of heaven and earth around the Heavenly Sound Sacred Sect. A hundred miles from here, there's also the Myriad Separation Fire Formation. Even a Martial Sovereign-level expert couldn't possibly break through," Xu Hu said, a savage light gleaming in his eyes.
"Let's hope so," Feng Yu said, her expression detached.
"Elder Feng Yu, our brothers have never failed at a job. Just give the word, and we'll storm the Heavenly Sound Sacred Sect and leave nothing standing," Xu Long said, a cold smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't come to the Heavenly Sound Sacred Sect today to have you destroy it. I want you to capture someone!"
"And they must be alive!" Feng Yu said, her dewy eyes flickering with a profound light.
"I wonder what person has Elder Feng Yu so interested?" Xu Long asked, unable to hide his puzzlement.
"Yes, we don't quite understand — who could warrant this level of attention from us?" Xu Hu echoed.
"There are things you don't need to know. All you need to know is that this person is named Nie Li. Young as he is, with only Dragon Path realm cultivation, he has already become the Sect Master of the Feather God Sect," Feng Yu said.
"Dragon Path realm cultivation, yet he gets to be Sect Master of the Feather God Sect? That sect must be running short on talent!" Xu Hu burst out laughing.
"Hmph, you'd better drop that contemptuous attitude. The Feather God Sect's current strength is unfathomable — Martial Sovereign-level experts are as numerous as hairs on an ox. With your current level, going there would mostly just be throwing your lives away," Feng Yu scoffed.
"If the Feather God Sect has become that powerful, then how could this Dragon Path realm youth possibly become its Sect Master?" Xu Long asked, baffled.
"That is exactly the key. All you need to do is capture him!" Feng Yu said. "If you can't find him, bring me your heads!"
Just as Feng Yu finished speaking, hearty laughter echoed through the void.
"Feng Yu, the third-ranked elder of the Demon God Sect, coming all this way to find me — I must be quite the distinguished guest!"
At the sound of that voice, Feng Yu's elegant brows furrowed slightly. She focused her gaze toward the void and saw a figure standing quietly in the distance. It was none other than Nie Li.
He had been able to overhear her words and remained undetected for this long — this person was truly no ordinary fighter.
Feng Yu fixed Nie Li with a cold stare.
"You're Nie Li?" A cold gleam swept through her eyes as she looked him up and down.
