In the city where the Heavenly Star Building was located, a group of cultivators gathered beneath an inn.

"Little Sword God Ao Tian, come out!"

"Ao Tian, quickly tell us where Yang Yan is; we want to kill him!"

"If you don't come out, we'll consider you an accomplice and kill you too!"

Many cultivators shouted at the inn, but no one dared to be the first to enter and confront Ao Tian.

It was all because Ao Tian was too powerful. But who was Ao Tian?

He was the son of the Old Sword God, with unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao.

If he hadn't reached maturity, they might not mind the Old Sword God that much.

However, this person could already challenge the Heavenly Star Building alone.

None of these simple cultivators could take him down!

At least the genius of the Immortal Realm was needed to face him, and even then, victory was uncertain!

But the genius wouldn't easily take the stage, so they could only disrupt and wait for the right opportunity!

"Kong Xuan, do you think the rumors about our master are true or false?" Ao Tian asked calmly, sitting at the table.

He didn't care about the clamor of the cultivators outside at all!

*He only cared about whether the rumors about Yang Yan were true!*

"True or false, false or true!" replied Kong Xuan, who was meditating on the bed.

Ao Tian's brow furrowed slightly.

"Isn't that equivalent to not saying anything?"

Kong Xuan smiled.

"Without witnessing it firsthand, this monk dares not speak rashly.

Can only speak enigmatically, in riddles!" he replied.

Ao Tian was helpless!

Kong Xuan had practically admitted that all he said was nonsense!

Saying those things was just to make Kong Xuan appear more profound!

"Monks are all the same, really good at pretending!" Ao Tian commented helplessly. "In my opinion, the rumors about our master are probably true.

The only thing in question is whether he is the brother of the New Saint Master!

Knowing our master, how could he possibly be subservient to others?

If anything, he would become the Saint Master of the Evil Demon Sect!"

He stood up, moved to the window, and looked through the gap.

*The silhouettes of cultivators came into view.*

"So many people are here!" he scanned the street, filled with people.

"There are also some on the rooftops!"

He looked across, seeing cultivators watching them from the buildings and rooftops.

"They are just the forerunners; there are many more who haven't appeared.

They are hiding in the shadows, spying on us!" Kong Xuan spoke slowly.

Ao Tian nodded.

"Indeed, just in this short time, I have felt many Divine Senses sweep through the room!"

With these words, he returned to the table and sat down again.

"Kong Xuan, what should we do next?" he asked.

"Wait."

"Wait for what? Wait for our people to come?"

"No, wait for the master to arrive," Kong Xuan said slowly.

Ao Tian showed a slight change in expression.

"Will the master come with so many people looking for him?"

"He will come. He will come to clear things up!"

"Oh? The master will come to clarify?

Kong Xuan, the master might not come. He might think that the truth will prevail on its own."

*Kong Xuan calmed his breath.*

"The truth prevailing on its own? That never happens. Many things need to be clarified personally to be convincing!

If not cleared up, do you expect others to believe you?

Wait ten years, twenty years for the people who wronged you to provide evidence?

Even if that happens, what then? Who would care?

In this world, unless you're dead,

no one pursued for twenty years would see the truth prevail on its own," he said hauntingly.

"Moreover, the master still needs to participate in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle; he doesn't have time to waste!"

"Yes, indeed!

Then we'll wait. I believe the master will arrive soon!"

Outside the city, a palanquin was being carried along.

The person carrying it was Chen Daoheng, with Bai He standing beside it.

The person inside the palanquin was obvious!

It was Yang Yan!

"Brother Yang, so many outside are holding your portrait!" Murong lifted the curtain, speaking with alarm.

Next to the palanquin, cultivators held portraits of Yang Yan, all showing a cold gaze.

"They all want to kill Young Master Yang. These people are utterly unreasonable!" Qian Rong said with irritation.

Murong agreed.

"Yes, yes, waiting for Brother Yang to prove his innocence.

I want to see how embarrassed these people will be!" she said angrily.

*In their hearts, there was unrest, while Yang Yan remained expressionless, continuing his cultivation leisurely.*

Until the soldiers at the city gate stopped their palanquin.

"Routine inspection!" the soldier said coldly.

Bai He reached out to stop them.

"Inside is my master!"

The soldier remained unmoved.

"It doesn't matter who it is; we must inspect!

This is the order recently issued by the Heavenly Star Building. If disobeyed, kill without mercy!"

Bai He clenched his fist.

"How dare you!"

He wanted to punch the soldier in front of him to death.

The soldier looked unfazed.

"See if I dare or not!" He tightened his grip on the sword at his waist.

Just as Bai He was about to act, Yang Yan's voice came from inside the palanquin.

"Bai He, let him inspect!"

Bai He paused. Although he was puzzled, he complied.

"Yes, Master!"

He stepped back, giving way!

The soldier sneered and released his grip on the sword.

He took two steps forward, arriving at the palanquin.

Reaching out, he lifted the curtain.

*His gaze swept inside, and his expression changed suddenly.*

"It's you, Yang Yan!"

Yang Yan opened his eyes suddenly.

"It is I!"

At the moment his eyes opened, the soldier met Yang Yan's gaze.

*In Yang Yan's eyes, he saw the image of a giant sword reaching the heavens, surrounded by countless rampaging Sword Qi.*

*It made his eyes ache, bleeding.*

"Ah… my eyes…" He covered his eyes, falling to the ground in pain.

*His shout, along with calling out Yang Yan's name,*

*immediately caught the attention of those around!*

"He just shouted Yang Yan's name!"

"Could it be that Yang Yan is inside that palanquin?"

"Very likely, go over!"

Figures surrounded the palanquin, squads of soldiers from the city gate rushed over.

They drew their swords, facing the palanquin directly.

"Who is inside the palanquin, daring to harm the soldiers of the Heavenly Star Building?

Come out!" shouted the Soldier Captain.

The curtain was pulled back by Murong, and a figure emerged from inside.

*At the moment they saw him, everyone recognized who this was!*

"Yang Yan!"

"It's him, Yang Yan!"

"Because he's the brother of the New Saint Master of the Evil Demon Sect, now placed at the top of the List of Human and Gods' Hatred by the Heavenly Star Building!"

"He is called the Evil Demon New Ancestor!"

The top of the List of Human and Gods' Hatred!

*Upon hearing this, Yang Yan showed cold anger.*

*The Heavenly Star Building truly had no regard for its life!*

*It brought him a heap of trouble. They deserved to be killed!*

"Yang Yan, so it's you, this Demon!

What do you intend to do, do you want to go against the Righteous Path, against the Heavenly Star Building?" the Soldier Captain shouted with a panic.

The top of the List of Human and Gods' Hatred, known as the Evil Demon New Ancestor!

*Just such a title was terrifying enough!*

"Go against the Righteous Path? It's always been the Righteous Path against I.

I have never opposed the Righteous Path!

As for going against the Heavenly Star Building?

The Heavenly Star Building presumptuously put my name at the top of the List of Human and Gods' Hatred.

Making me the target of the masses, hunted by all!

If I don't oppose you, do you expect me to worship you instead?"
