Chapter 204: The Mountain Pressing Down on the Prodigies of the Southern Region

Jiang Cheng looked at the person who had appeared before him: "Liu Qinghe of the Profound Heaven Sect, I didn't expect you to come here."

"It seems you must have received some news that something unusual is happening here."

"However, to be honest, if that Wu Xiaofeng had come, I wouldn't have made a move and would have just left."

"But as luck would have it, you are the one who came this time."

Jiang Cheng looked at Liu Qinghe, who was a top-tier existence in both appearance and cultivation.

She also possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root; he wondered how much benefit he could gain after absorbing it.

If he absorbed this Liu Qinghe, he might be able to contend with that Innate Sword Body.

With such a great temptation, Jiang Cheng would not let it go easily.

Even if there were risks, Jiang Cheng would have to try.

This Liu Qinghe was definitely no match for him; Jiang Cheng knew that although Liu Qinghe had grasped Sword Intent, she had not yet reached the Realm of the Sword Domain.

As long as she hadn't entered the Domain, their strength was not on the same level.

But Jiang Cheng would not underestimate Liu Qinghe either; after all, Liu Qinghe was a being with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Furthermore, his actions here might attract the attention of others.

That was why Jiang Cheng said there were quite a few risks, but this risk was worth him trying.

Liu Qinghe had come here, just as Jiang Cheng had expected.

Liu Qinghe had come here to investigate the situation because she heard others mention that there seemed to be an anomaly here.

So, she came over to take a look.

When Liu Qinghe descended to this place, the people around were stunned for a moment.

"Is this a Fairy descended from heaven? How beautiful!"

Many people recognized her.

"This is Liu Qinghe of the Profound Heaven Sect. She really is just like the rumors, like a Fairy descending to earth."

"Just one look at her is enough to heal my soul; it's as if the trauma from the battle with the Demon Race has already been cast to the back of my mind."

"She is truly too beautiful, and her strength is also powerful, having reached the Soul Transformation Stage. The gap between people is truly too great."

"Today is truly too lucky; to have actually received support from Liu Qinghe, I feel like I have inexhaustible energy now."

"If only this Liu Qinghe could take a fancy to me."

The people around all expressed their agreement.

Liu Qinghe felt the gazes around her; she had long since grown accustomed to this.

Every time she appeared, she could cause a sensation, and she was the focus wherever she went.

But for Liu Qinghe, compared to that Ye Lin, she still had too large a gap.

Although they were now in the same Realm, there was a world of difference between them.

Liu Qinghe had always lived under the shadow of Ye Lin's radiance.

Just as the world said, being born in the same era as Ye Lin was a tragedy.

Ye Lin was like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of the prodigies of the Southern Region.

He could be touched, but was difficult to surpass.

Liu Qinghe did not care about the surrounding gazes and began to investigate the situation around her.

Liu Qinghe probed the surrounding situation, but there was nothing amiss.

However, there were still many remaining Demon Clan members here.

Unable to find any useful information, she dealt with those Demon Clan members and left the place.

Just as Liu Qinghe was about to make a move, Jiang Cheng appeared.

Liu Qinghe looked at the person who had suddenly appeared before her, and an instinct in her heart told her to run quickly.

This person revealed something wrong from head to toe.

Jiang Cheng watched Liu Qinghe standing in place, and thought, well, she probably felt his unusual aura. Under the cultivation of the Yin Yang Art and the effect of the Yin Yang Demon Pearl, the aura he radiated was completely different from before.

And while it was fine for male cultivators, in the eyes of female cultivators, his aura was particularly eerie.

The crowd also saw Jiang Cheng: "Oh no, it's a Soul Transformation Stage member of the Demon Race!"

"It seems he has been lurking here for some time, but this Soul Transformation Stage Demon Clan member shouldn't be a match for Fairy Liu, right?"

Jiang Cheng did not give Liu Qinghe a chance to react; before anyone could react, his large hand reached out toward Liu Qinghe.

Jiang Cheng did not want Liu Qinghe to die; if she died, then she would be of no use to him.

Then there would be no point in him making a move.

Liu Qinghe reacted, and an ethereal Sword Intent wandered through the heavens and earth.

In an instant, she neutralized Jiang Cheng's attack.

Jiang Cheng looked at Liu Qinghe; he knew that it wouldn't be easy to take down this Liu Qinghe, but…

Sure enough, a Heavenly Spiritual Root was different; this made him want to obtain her even more.

The crowd around reacted: "Quick, notify others to come and support! A Demon Race expert has appeared here!"

"Quick, go find people to support Liu Qinghe!"

But just as the people around wanted to leave to report the news, Jiang Cheng released endless pressure, and those with weak strength fainted directly.

Except for Liu Qinghe, no one on the scene could move freely.

Jiang Cheng laughed: "I advise you all to be honest; calling for support is impossible now."

Liu Qinghe looked at the person in front of her, knowing that she might not be a match.

But she would only know the result after fighting.

A long sword appeared in Liu Qinghe's hand; no matter what, she had to try.

At this moment, on Su Yu's side, they had already finished dealing with the matters regarding the Demon Race.

The Demon Clan members who were ambushed nearby had all been cleared out.

And that Grand Array of the Demon Race was never even put to use before they died.

This was thanks to someone who accidentally discovered the base of the Formation set up by the Demon Race.

This caused the Demon Race's plan to fall through.

This was not something Su Yu had secretly manipulated; it was indeed that the people on their side had discovered it by accident.

It seems that luck was on their side.

But this battle caused them to lose quite a few people, and many teams had to withdraw just after arriving.

The same was true for the group of people on Su Yu's side.

Many people were injured.

There were also a few who were seriously injured, and Su Yu naturally would not be unscathed either.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Yu had also suffered not-insignificant injuries.

Many people from the Celestial Maiden Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect had returned, and they were no longer able to continue fighting against the Demon Clan members behind them.

The same was true for Su Yu's six-man team.

In this battle, except for Su Yu, Wang Yang, and Li Yun, who were stronger and didn't have any major problems, the others had all returned, leaving only the three of them.

Those three had all suffered relatively serious injuries; this battle was more difficult than any before.

It was not only them who became stronger through battle.

The Demon Race was the same.

Fortunately, they won in the end; if the Demon Race's Grand Array hadn't been discovered, the outcome would have been hard to say.

And those few fledglings from before were all seriously injured, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives.

With old Seniors like them around, how could they let those few get into trouble?

They had more or less seen shadows of themselves in those few people.
