The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 224: Slipped, Do You Believe It?

Yang Yan had already seen through it!

Activating the array required the cooperation of many sect elders.

Only with the golden key and the boost of one’s own profound qi could the array be activated.

An elder alone couldn’t possibly open the array!

So, the only person who could be transmitted into the Ninth Restricted Area by the array was a shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master.

At most, Elder Yujian might join too!

What use were these two coming in?

To kill Yang Yan?

Could the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master truly have the strength to kill Yang Yan?

*Not even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect knew about this!*

But why did he want to activate the array and come in to kill Yang Yan?

*It could be for several reasons!*

One reason was that all the successors of the Heavenly Sword Sect were in Yang Yan’s hands; he had a reason to come in.

Even if he couldn’t kill Yang Yan, he wanted to rescue two of them.

If he couldn’t save even one, then it was for a second reason.

If Yang Yan could defeat his shadow clone, then Yang Yan’s strength was imaginable.

With the Emperor Sword Intent bestowed upon him, could the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect allow Yang Yan to live?

The elders of other sects who saw Yang Yan’s formidable strength wouldn’t recklessly open the array and release Yang Yan.

The array that could seal the Ninth Restricted Area could naturally also seal the present Yang Yan.

*A deeper third reason for the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master coming in!*

Even if the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master was defeated, he would use his last strength to forcibly attract the attention of strong beings in the Ninth Restricted Area.

Using their hands to kill Yang Yan.

And what did he lose?

A clone, and a group of sect successors.

With the loss of a shadow clone, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master only lost some power at most.

With the loss of a group of successors, the Heavenly Sword Sect would break one generation.

But don’t forget, the successors of other sects were still around.

The strong Asura Ghosts in the Ninth Restricted Area may not be tempted by successors with low cultivation.

But since they were coming, would it be the case that only one would arrive?

So, the successors of other sects were certainly doomed as well.

If the successors from the Heavenly Sword Sect were the only ones who died, the information might spread that other sects would know and attack the Heavenly Sword Sect!

If the successors of other sects also died, who would spread what happened here?

If no one knew this secret, the Heavenly Sword Sect would still have no weakness and wouldn’t be attacked.

The calculations and plans of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master had reached an extremely intricate level.

No matter what, he would bind the other sects and the Heavenly Sword Sect together!

With a common foe, facing Yang Yan!

Even if the other sects later knew that it was the Heavenly Sword Sect Master directing his shadow clone to self-destruct, deliberately attracting the strong from the Ninth Restricted Area to annihilate all successors.

At most, they would only question, with no evidence!

Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master could have an explanation!

"For example, I only wanted to eliminate such a demon as Yang Yan, nothing more," he said, "Other sects wouldn’t be able to reason much."

Anyway, by then, without evidence, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect stood in an invincible position!

But now, it hadn’t come to that yet. Yang Yan’s single sentence reminded the many elders present.

These elders weren’t fools!

Each of them was an old fox, especially the elders from the Tianji Sect.

"Stop it!" shouted the elder from the Tianji Sect first.

He put away the key that his sect controlled!

The elders from other sects, after pondering for a moment, also retrieved their keys.

"Elders, why did you stop?" the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master knowingly asked.

"Sect Master Cangjian, don’t think we are unaware of your plans," said the elder from the Tianji Sect sternly.

"Elders, don’t be swayed by his words.

What can I possibly do?

I just want to kill him and recover everything!" the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master earnestly stated.

"Do you have the confidence to kill him? Or do you intend to rescue the successors of the Heavenly Sword Sect and then drive him away?

Let him go deal with the successors from our sects?" asked the elder from the Tianji Sect.

This statement was even more malicious than what Yang Yan thought!

Destructive self-interest!

The Heavenly Sword Sect Master’s shadow clone entering the Ninth Restricted Area wasn’t to kill Yang Yan.

It was to save the successors of the Heavenly Sword Sect and push Yang Yan deeper into the Ninth Restricted Area.

By then, if Yang Yan became enraged, with his strength, it would be easy to wipe out the successors from other sects.

In the end, the Heavenly Sword Sect would lose three Dragon Veins, but other sects would be cut off for a generation.

The Heavenly Sword Sect would still not suffer loss!

"Elder of Tianji Sect, I wouldn’t do such a thing!

I have my principles!" the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master stated seriously.

The elder from the Tianji Sect snorted coldly.

"Whether you have principles or not, I don’t know, but I will never let you in.

Elders, what do you say?"

"The elder from the Tianji Sect is right, you cannot enter!" said the elder from the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect.

"I also disagree with letting you enter!"

One by one, the other elders spoke up.

"If you don’t let me in, he will be in there, acting as he wishes.

All sect successors are in his hands.

He can kill them all at any time!" said the shadow clone of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master anxiously.

"If he kills them, he won’t be able to leave the Ninth Restricted Area!"

"Indeed, without us activating the array, he will be eternally sealed inside!"

"I think he’s smart enough not to do anything foolish that harms others without benefiting himself!"

The elder from the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect looked at Yang Yan.

"Yang Yan, how about we make a deal?"

Her tone was much softer than before.

Yang Yan’s subordinate, Cao Qiu, trembled uncontrollably. He thought to himself.

"Doomed, doomed!

Now, I’m doomed!"

If the Sect Master couldn’t come in and kill Yang Yan, then if Yang Yan didn’t die, what about him and Xu Tianyin...

He dared not think more!

"What deal are you proposing? Let’s hear it."

A few elders exchanged glances and secretly transmitted their discussion.

"It’s a simple deal. Once you obtain the Holy Water, we’ll let you out.

You must not kill our sect successors inside!

All grievances will be addressed once out of the Ninth Restricted Area," proposed the elder from the Tianji Sect.

Cao Qiu and Xu Tianyin were delighted.

"We might survive!"

Yang Yan contemplated for a moment.

"I was never fond of killing!" he said softly.

Not fond of killing?

Cao Qiu and Xu Tianyin were even happier.

"He won’t kill us!"

Their tension eased!

Crack!

Suddenly, a loud snap, and Cao Qiu’s eyes widened, pupils contracting then dilating.

His head was twisted off!

"Didn’t he say he wasn’t fond of killing... why kill, kill me...?"

The elders within the array barrier thought Yang Yan was about to agree to their deal.

Who knew, in the blink of an eye, Yang Yan would make a move and kill a successor.

"My hand slipped!"

Yang Yan said as he raised his hand, and Cao Qiu’s body fell downward.

"I don’t believe it..."

Cao Qiu didn’t believe it!

Nor did the elders from other sects seem to believe it.

Yang Yan looked at Xu Tianyin.

"Do you believe it when I say my hand slipped?"

Xu Tianyin’s lips trembled.

"I, I, I believe..." he said with a forced smile.

"Good!"

Xu Tianyin sighed in relief, but the next moment, a light-shaped sword qi penetrated his body.

"Why... kill me..." he couldn’t comprehend!

"Yang Yan, do you intend to continue opposing us?" asked the elder from the Tianji Sect, puzzled.

The other sect elders felt the same.

"I’m just telling you all..."
