The youth's words immediately caused an uproar among everyone.
Where was this place? This was the domain of the Kui Mei tribe, and never had a cultivator dared to openly defy the Kui Mei Sect Alliance like this.
"Who is this kid? To be so arrogant on our territory. Could he be from a Seventh or Sixth-grade sect?" a common disciple of the Kui Jian Sect stared in astonishment at the figure in the sky.
"Who cares who he is, he's going to die anyway? But it's true that he can stay in the air for so long, his strength must be considerable."
"Considerable strength? I think he's an idiot. Even a True Human realm cultivator wouldn't dare to waste so much true essence just to show off."
...
The main figures from a few sects hadn't even spoken, but the disciples below were already in an uproar. They had grown too accustomed to acting with impunity in the northern part of the Northern Region. To be so openly humiliated by this young brat, not only their sect leaders but even they, the outer disciples, could not stand it.
"Kid, do you know that your current entrance has made me very displeased?" Su Chen Ming tilted his head back, looking at the figure in the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly. Those who knew him well understood that this was Su Chen Ming on the verge of killing someone.
"Kid, this is the world of the Kui Mei. You're human, aren't you? Did Dong Fang Dao not teach you to be low-key in the Northern Region? Or does that old man Dong Fang Dao truly believe that after breaking through to the True Human realm, he can do whatever he pleases here?" At this moment, the elder from the Eighth-grade sect stepped forward, looking at Sun Xiao Shan coldly.
Dong Fang Dao's promotion to True Human realm had also elevated the Qing Yue Sect to a Seventh-grade sect. Although the disciples of the Qing Yue Sect had not changed in strength, the mere presence of Dong Fang Dao made these Eighth and Ninth-grade sects feel an urgency, making them view the Qing Yue Sect as a thorn in their side.
"Low-key?"
Sun Xiao Shan looked down at the hundreds of thousands of disciples from various Kui Mei sects, and beyond them, another hundred thousand disciples from other alien races. He couldn't help but sneer.
In this world, Sun Xiao Shan had abandoned Ye Yun's previous low-key development style and become arrogant and boastful. However, this was also built upon his confidence in his own strength.
"Then let me tell you. This spirit mine belonging to the Lei Jian Sect, our Qing Yue Sect wants it!"
As Sun Xiao Shan's voice fell, the noisy chatter in the entire square abruptly ceased. Everyone stared up at the sturdy figure in the sky with disbelief.
"The Qing Yue Sect has truly become arrogant. With just one disciple in the early True Human realm, they are acting so boastfully. It seems like the question of whether this only human sect can even survive is now in doubt."
"Who's to say otherwise? I thought the humans would rise up and help us somewhat contain the Kui Mei tribe in the Northern Region, but it looks like that's unlikely now."
"Stop your bickering. Given this situation, should we help or not?"
"Help? Don't be ridiculous. This situation is even better. As long as these guys truly fall out with the Qing Yue Sect, then that guy Dong Fang Dao will also go on a killing spree against them. Although Dong Fang Dao and his ilk will eventually die, the Kui Mei tribe will undoubtedly suffer considerable damage!"
On the periphery, countless alien races pointed and chattered about Sun Xiao Shan, but none dared to step forward at this moment. Because after Sun Xiao Shan finished speaking, a murderous atmosphere descended upon the entire square.
The Lei Jian Sect and Lei Long Sect, the owners of the spirit mine, were no exception. They thought the few sects of the Kui Mei Sect were ruthless enough, but they never expected a disciple from such a small human sect to be even more greedy, demanding the entire spirit mine! How could they tolerate this?
"Kid, even if your old man Dong Fang were here, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like this! Instead of thinking about how to face the Holy Land's sanctions, you're creating a powerful enemy for yourselves. What basis do you have? Imagination?" The elder from the Seventh-grade sect, a trusted subordinate of Su Yan, naturally could not bear to see Su Chen Ming humiliated.
"What basis do we have?"
Sun Xiao Shan smirked. His muscles tensed, and purple flames erupted all over his body.
This sudden outburst seemed to ignite the heavens and earth. Thick smoke suddenly billowed from the entire square in front of the Lei Jian Sect, covering an area of dozens of miles.
"Haha, kid, I thought you were so capable. Turns out it's just this?" Su Chen Ming and his subordinates roared with laughter.
Boom...
But as his words fell, an endless torrent of flames surged from the ground, and lightning crisscrossed the sky. Countless screams echoed across the square, even among the alien races on the periphery. Even the outer disciples were reduced to ashes before they could even let out a scream.
All cultivators below the Golden Core realm were instantly killed! As for the cultivators in the Harmony realm, they struggled to resist the flames. Even the true disciples and elders who had reached the Void Returning and Enlightenment realms were channeling their true essence, keeping the flames at bay about a dozen centimeters from their bodies.
Ten seconds later, all the Nascent Soul cultivators could no longer hold on. The flames then became like corrosive venom, instantly engulfing them.
Then, slowly, those in the Void Returning realm with weaker strength began to run out of true essence and fall one by one.
"What basis? Naturally, it's based on my strength." Sun Xiao Shan looked at Su Yan, whose face was pale, with some surprise.
Su Yan was merely the sect leader of a Ninth-grade sect, yet he seemed to be coping better than the sect leaders of some Eighth-grade sects. Although his face was pale due to the extensive use of true essence, his cultivation was only at the early Enlightenment stage, while most of those sect leaders were at the peak Enlightenment realm!
Could this guy possess some treasure?
Treasures were rare items in this world. The weapons used by cultivators today were mostly not even at the Epic level, let alone Spirit grade. The universal hierarchy below a certain point meant that the craftsmanship of refiners in this world was not high. Therefore, many cultivators relied directly on heavenly and earthly treasures to help them resist elemental damage.
"Kid, my uncle is the sect leader of the Bei Kui Sect. If you kill me, your human race will face the encirclement of our entire Kui Mei tribe! Think carefully before you decide!"
Su Chen Ming's legs trembled uncontrollably, but his words were extremely defiant.
"Oh? Are you not even looking at your surroundings before threatening me like this?" Sun Xiao Shan sneered at him. At the same time, he produced an ordinary long sword and, to everyone's shocked gaze, pierced it through the Seventh-grade sect elder before he could even react.
