Chapter 457 Even the Master is no match for him, right?

The Blood River Saint was scared away by a phantom image of Lian Yue Zhou and fled directly from the Tianluo Continent.

To this day, he doesn't know Li Xuanfeng's background, nor does he recognize Lian Yue Zhou. He doesn't know her origins, only feeling that she is either a Holy King or a Great Saint, an existence he, a Holy King (Mid-stage), could never provoke.

Originally, the Blood River Saint had no intention of returning to the Tianluo Continent; if he couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't he at least hide?

But along the way, he "by chance" met a Holy King (Mid-stage) Senior, who is the Black Robed Man before him.

This person's identity is mysterious, seemingly more knowledgeable about Li Xuanfeng's background, and also aware of Lian Yue Zhou's existence, though he doesn't seem to have much apprehension about her.

From his conversation with the Black Robed Man, the Blood River Saint sensed that his origins were extraordinary, possessing an unimaginable background. If he could attach himself to such a powerful figure, his cultivation potential might advance further, and he would no longer have to fear Li Xuanfeng's Master.

The Black Robed Man felt that the Blood River Saint was a promising talent, with the potential to reach the King Realm in the future. He invited him to join his faction to work for a supreme expert in the Canglan Realm, but he first needed to pass his assessment.

The Blood River Saint, who already had some ideas, naturally agreed with pleasure, proactively leading the way for the Black Robed Man, also hoping to use him to kill Li Xuanfeng and eliminate this huge hidden danger.

Boom!

Torrential blood Qi swept out, and the entire abyss began to tremble.

Saints possess superb concealment methods, but once they act, the commotion they cause is quite astonishing.

The moment the blood Qi permeated, Cultivators from various factions stationed in the Barren Abyss Land were startled.

"Abyss anomaly!"

"What terrifying power!"

"Someone is forcibly opening a passage!"

"This is Saint Power; a Saint is taking action!"

The Saint's might was vast, impossible for anyone to ignore.

Currently, there are only five or six known Saints in the entire Tianluo Continent, representing the true ceiling of combat power. Each appearance is enough to cause a huge stir.

"Has he returned?"

In a certain cultivation hall, a blue-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful woman opened her eyes from meditation, and with a movement of her body, appeared outside the hall, looking towards the abyss thousands of miles away.

Whoosh!

A burly man also appeared not far away, his arms crossed as he gazed at the abyss. This person was the Force Barbarian Half-Saint from the Southern Frontier.

And that blue-haired, blue-eyed woman was the number one King Realm expert in the Southern Frontier — Miao Emperor.

"It's the Blood Saint!"

The Force Barbarian Half-Saint's expression sank.

The only Saint of the Eastern Wild's Blood River Holy Land — the Blood River Saint, a Holy King (Mid-stage) existence, once conducted a carpet search in the Eastern Wild, attempting to find and kill Li Xuanfeng, but was scared away by a phantom image of Lian Yue Zhou, fleeing to an unknown location.

He never expected him to suddenly appear here today. The Force Barbarian Half-Saint didn't know what this meant. Was he trying to enter that unknown Forbidden Land to find Li Xuanfeng?

But wasn't he afraid of Li Xuanfeng's Master?

Or did he have a new reliance?

Various thoughts flashed through the Force Barbarian Half-Saint's mind.

He came from the strongest force in the Southern Frontier, the Barbarian Tribe, and was inclined to befriend Li Xuanfeng, this peerless Prodigy.

It was just that at first, he was wary of the unknown force that specifically hunted Prodigies and dared not show it too obviously.

Later, Li Xuanfeng killed the Black-Robed Sage above the abyss and was about to conveniently eliminate the Demon Sword Half-Saint from the Ten Thousand Swords Holy Land and the Blood Fiend Half-Saint from the Blood River Holy Land.

Miao Emperor feared that her great-grandfather, the Force Barbarian Half-Saint, would also be killed by Li Xuanfeng, so she humbly begged Li Xuanfeng in front of many Cultivators to spare her great-grandfather's life, offering herself as a slave.

In the end, Li Xuanfeng only killed the Demon Sword Half-Saint and the Blood Fiend Half-Saint, sparing the Force Barbarian Half-Saint.

However, it wasn't because of Miao Emperor's plea, nor did he want to take Miao Emperor as a slave. It was only because these two had not participated in the faction targeting him, which was why he spared their lives.

Although Li Xuanfeng then departed gracefully and disappeared into the abyss, after that incident, the Force Barbarian Half-Saint personally took action to clear out many enemies targeting Li Xuanfeng.

For example, the Fan Family, the Black Fire Sect, and the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

Even though these enemies were so weak that Li Xuanfeng couldn't be bothered with them, the Force Barbarian Half-Saint had demonstrated his stance through his actions.

His attitude, to a certain extent, also represented the attitude of the Southern Frontier Barbarian Tribe.

The Blood River Saint was Li Xuanfeng's enemy, so in a sense, he was also the Force Barbarian Half-Saint's enemy.

Half-Saints are powerful, and even the major super forces of the Eastern Wild cannot threaten him, but this does not include Saints.

If the Blood River Saint were to attack him, he could kill him with a single palm strike.

This was very unfavorable news for him.

However, the current Blood River Saint didn't seem to notice him. The towering blood Qi converged into a surging torrent, roaring down towards the abyss.

The entire world trembled violently at this moment.

A spatial passage rapidly formed.

"The passage is open!"

"We can go to that Forbidden Land space!"

Many Cultivators' eyes flickered.

Although most Cultivators who went to that Forbidden Land space never returned.

However, the successful examples were incredibly attractive, and that successful person was right before their eyes: it was the Blood River Saint!

It is rumored that the Blood River Saint's attainment of Sainthood was due to obtaining an astonishing Opportunity in that Forbidden Land space. With his Breakthrough, the force he created also instantly became the only Holy Land in the Eastern Wild.

Now, this Cultivator who once visited that Forbidden Land and obtained an astonishing Opportunity has once again opened the passage to the Forbidden Land. Many Cultivators were eager to move, wanting to follow him, but no one truly dared to step in.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Blood River Saint stood above the abyss, looking respectfully to his front-left.

"The passage has been opened, Senior, please go first!"

The Blood River Saint made a gesture of invitation.

This scene greatly shocked countless Cultivators.

Looking closely again, they discovered that a Black Robed Man had appeared in front of the Blood River Saint at some unknown time.

This person's entire face was shrouded in a hood, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see any part of his face. Furthermore, his body had no Qi fluctuations whatsoever.

This familiar appearance reminded people of the Black-Robed Sage killed by Li Xuanfeng three years ago.

But this Black Robed Man was clearly not as simple as a Saint.

The Blood River Saint, a powerful Holy King (Mid-stage) existence, who could make him so respectful?

And willing to break through space to open a path for him?

A moment's thought would reveal that this person must have an extraordinary background!

"Who is this mysterious person?"

"Could it be the legendary Holy King?!"

Countless Cultivators were greatly shaken.

Saints were the ceiling of combat power in the Tianluo Continent. As for Holy Kings, they were simply beyond the imagination of these Cultivators.

The Blood River Saint's reverence for the Black Robed Man indicated that he was at least a Holy King (Late Stage), and even had a very high probability of being the legendary Holy King!

"He's going to have trouble again!"

At the edge of the Barren Abyss Land, the Ice Feather Emperor, dressed in white, stood on a mountain peak, silently gazing at the abyss.

The Ice Feather Emperor is a good friend of Linghuang Xin Ruyu and a disciple of Leng Wuyan.

She had been stationed here for two or three years, hoping to find an Opportunity to enter that Forbidden Land space.

Leng Wuyan's last Incarnation, left in Hanbing Valley, had entered the Star Realm with a high-grade treasure medicine after exchanging it with Li Xuanfeng.

She had sent a message to the Ice Feather Emperor before leaving, so the Ice Feather Emperor knew that her Master was currently in that Forbidden Land space, and she also wanted to go in and see.

Now, she finally waited for the Opportunity for the passage to open, yet she dared not step forward.

She knew that the Blood River Saint had a grudge against Li Xuanfeng. He had once tried to find and kill Li Xuanfeng but was scared away by a phantom image of Lian Yue Zhou.

Now, he had returned, bringing with him a powerful expert of unknown strength and identity, most likely having found a way to deal with Li Xuanfeng's Master.

Facing an existence suspected to be a Holy King, the Ice Feather Emperor didn't know how Li Xuanfeng would respond, but having suffered a setback before, she felt that Li Xuanfeng should not fall into a desperate situation.

"I just don't know if he has met Master, but even if it's Master, she probably isn't a match for this Black Robed Man, right?"

The Ice Feather Emperor thought to herself.

As Leng Wuyan's disciple, she didn't know her Master's exact strength, only that Leng Wuyan had already broken through to the Saint Realm.

She didn't even know if Leng Wuyan was stronger than the Blood River Saint.

The main reason was that Leng Wuyan had never told her; her Master was incredibly taciturn.
