"This person really doesn't know the meaning of fear, daring to speak to Emperor Wuji like that. He probably hasn't seen the earth-shattering scenes when Emperor Wuji attacks."

A steward of Blood Cloud Palace coldly watched everything. Although Chu Ming killed many experts from Blood Cloud Palace, including Bei Yun, the Young Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace, there were thousands of martial artists from Blood Cloud Palace who entered the Ancient Battlefield this time, with countless strong individuals among them.

"I've seen this person before. It seems he's called Chu Ming. He once snatched the Dragon Bone from Emperor Wuji's hands."

An old man in gray clothing laughed sinisterly as he watched Chu Ming and Emperor Wuji. This person was Hong Huang Zhenren, who had once snatched the Dragon Bone alongside Chu Ming. At that time, when he saw Chu Ming grab the Dragon Bone, he was envious, but Chu Ming's speed was too fast, even Emperor Wuji could not catch up, let alone him.

The surrounding crowd was instantly in an uproar upon hearing this. Firstly, they were shocked that Chu Ming had managed to get an advantage over Emperor Wuji. Secondly, the mention of the Dragon Bone name shook their hearts, as a pinnacle expert of the Guiyuan Realm who refined the Dragon Bone Essence might have a chance to break through to the Realm of Transcendence and even have a slim chance to become a King of the Life and Death Realm in the future.

The battle was about to erupt!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of gray evil wind flew out of the red coffin, as dazzling as the sand in the sky. The surrounding martial artists instantly backed away, not daring to hesitate in the slightest. They had seen the power of this evil wind before; even Chu Ming and Emperor Wuji did not dare to touch it.

"Sword Emperor, do you know where the Undying Tree is?"

Chu Ming's heart stirred, and he sent a voice transmission to the Sword Scripture in his dantian.

"The Undying Tree is inside the red coffin where the Evil Wind Emperor is lying."

The Ancient Sword Emperor sighed slightly. He knew exactly what the Evil Wind Emperor was thinking. The Evil Wind Emperor clearly intended to use this opportunity to reconstruct his body and refine the Undying Tree together, thus achieving a true undying form.

Chu Ming fell silent, guessing the Evil Wind Emperor's plan. Indeed, if he were in the Evil Wind Emperor's place, facing such a temptation as the Undying Tree, he wouldn't easily let it go either. But in that case, wouldn't his visit here be without any gains?

Boom!

The sound of several terrifying bangs erupted all at once. Chu Ming looked up and saw more than ten martial artists attacking the red coffin together, as if unleashing an apocalyptic catastrophe. The grand noise made the other martial artists gasp internally.

"Don't they know that the Evil Wind Emperor is about to be resurrected soon? Attacking him now is nothing short of madness!"

"Madness, they are all mad!"

"Oh, you might not know. The ones attacking the red coffin are from the Xiao Family. The Evil Wind Emperor was once the strongest ancestor of the Lin Family. If the Evil Wind Emperor revives, the Xiao Family will suffer greatly even if they do not perish."

The surrounding martial artists retreated quickly, fearing the aftermath of the attack would affect them. They watched the attacks from Xiao Yuan and other martial artists, discussing fervently.

Boom!

With his hands displaying a tight five-finger grip, Xiao Yuan released his spiritual power. In a terrifying burst, he directly attacked the red coffin. However, the red coffin was incredibly fearsome. The burning spiritual power left not even a trace on it.

Boom, boom, boom!

After several wild, consecutive attacks, Xiao Yuan retreated dozens of meters. His eyes were dark, his expression uncertain as he deeply inhaled while staring at the red coffin below.

"Brother Mu, how long do you plan to watch? When the Evil Wind Emperor revives, it will be the end of the Mu Family."

Xiao Yuan's voice rang out forcefully, amplified by his spiritual power, spreading a thousand meters. The surrounding individuals like Zhang Xingyun and Nangong Yueling looked hesitant, unsure of what to think.

"Hmph, I thought Young Master Xiao was so impressive, but now it seems you're just like this."

A sinister voice sounded. A middle-aged man with green hair flew out of the crowd, surrounded by Wood Spirit Power. His eyes swept around like a venomous snake, chilling others to the bone.

"Mu Yuan, stop making cynical remarks. Given the grievance between the Mu and Lin Families, if the Evil Wind Emperor revives, the Mu Family will not fare any better. We are all in the same boat now."

Xiao Yuan was slightly annoyed, but his hands did not stop attacking. Palm seals covered the sky like stars, wildly striking the red coffin, causing it to shake.

"Hmph!"

Mu Yuan sneered but did not retort. In Tongzhou, there are four major families, aside from the City Lord's Mansion, the Mu, Xiao, and Lin Families have fought for tens of thousands of years, with countless family members killed in each other's hands.

Mu Yuan's body erupted with Wood Spirit Power, transforming into a terrifying storm of spiritual power that swept everything in the sky. His green robe fluttered menacingly, producing a whooshing sound.

"Wood Spirit Spear!"

Boom!

A terrifying electric light flashed in the sky. Immediately, a black hole vortex large enough for a person to pass through took shape. A green long spear emerged from it, sending out terrifying sound waves that swept the heavens and earth. At the tip of the spear, countless terrifying runes flickered, suppressing everything.

Boom!

Crack!

With a single thrust, Xiao Yuan's body swiftly retreated, revealing a trace of apprehension in his eyes. Undeniably, Mu Yuan was powerful. He had once single-handedly killed a Second Layer Realm of Transcendence expert, shocking the entire Tongzhou. If not for his advanced age, he would already be a prominent figure.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, fine cracks slowly appeared on the red coffin, spreading like a spider's web. A wisp of Evil Wind Emperor's aura leaked, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

Swish, swish, swish!

In a flash, several black shadows flew from the distance. As soon as they appeared, a thunderous roar echoed across the sky: "How dare you, wretches!!"

Boom!

A terrifying palm seal shot toward Mu Yuan and Xiao Yuan, covering the sky and blotting out the sun.

"It's that guy, Lin Xiong!"

Mu Yuan remained unfazed, a faint smile appearing on his face. He crossed his arms, madly exerting force. A spirit power dragon roared and whirled toward the gray palm seal in the sky.

Boom!

It was like brilliant fireworks bursting, making the entire world tremble. Then, to everyone's astonishment, the gray palm seal and the spirit power dragon dissipated into nothingness.

Chu Ming quietly watched everything unfold. The situation was extremely complex, involving many factions. Even someone like Emperor Wuji didn't dare act rashly because their actions would often represent their backing forces' stance.

Whether the Evil Wind Emperor could truly revive remained unknown. It was clearly impossible for them to pick sides at this moment.

Tongzhou was one of the nine states within the Central Divine Domain, containing countless powerful individuals. Thousands reached the Realm of Transcendence, and even the Life and Death Realm kings numbered more than a dozen. The forefathers of the Xiao and Mu Families were highly esteemed kings, and even sects like the Blade God Palace did not want to provoke them.

Boom, boom, boom!

Mu Yuan and Lin Xiong clashed, causing terrifying white waves to sweep across the sky. The white clouds scattered, the space distorted, on the brink of breaking apart.

The other members of the Lin Family fought against the guards of the Xiao Family, with sound waves rolling everywhere.
