The youth was precisely Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had been cultivating well in the Tai Xuan Sacred Land, about to joyfully cultivate after obtaining a thousand-year-old spirit medicine.
However, suddenly, the Holy Lord of Tai Xuan Sacred Land summoned Ye Tian.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had an insider in the Tai Xuan Sacred Land and learned that someone was spreading the news that he was the Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor from a hundred years ago.
And the rumors were quite detailed.
Ye Tian of course would not go. The Holy Lord of Tai Xuan Sacred Land was a Supremacy-level figure.
Although Ye Tian considered his concealment to be excellent and without any flaws, what if the Holy Lord had a "better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go" mentality?
If he were to be captured, Ye Tian would have nowhere to cry.
Ye Tian knew very well how terrified they were of his past self.
Even with a one-in-ten-million chance, they would have soul-searched and stripped his bones.
Therefore, Ye Tian decisively fled without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as Ye Tian fled, the credibility of this news immediately increased by several levels.
The Tai Xuan Sacred Land immediately began to search for Ye Tian and issued a bounty.
Whoever could capture Ye Tian alive would be rewarded with ten million top-grade spirit stones.
Almost the entire Eastern Wilderness went crazy.
That was ten million spirit stones, and they were top-grade spirit stones.
As soon as the bounty was issued, the entire Eastern Wilderness descended into chaos. Many rogue cultivators, and even disciples and elders from many Sacred Lands, were eager to dig three feet into the ground to find Ye Tian.
Ye Tian fled all the way, from the central Tai Xuan Sacred Land of the Eastern Wilderness, all the way to the southernmost part.
He had almost traversed half of the Eastern Wilderness.
During this journey, he encountered countless ambushes and attacks.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had contacted many of his loyal subordinates from his previous life.
With the help of his many subordinates and their bizarre and unpredictable methods,
Ye Tian managed to find a glimmer of hope amidst this net of heaven and earth, this nationwide pursuit.
Many of Ye Tian's subordinates, who had been well-hidden, were also more or less killed or injured in this pursuit.
Thinking of those subordinates, Ye Tian's heart was almost bleeding. They were the strong individuals who would follow him when he would rule the world.
He never expected that they would perish because his identity was leaked.
"Lord Demon Emperor, what should we do next? I fear the Eastern Wilderness is no longer a safe place!" The Nightmare Beast beside him spoke.
Ye Tian took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart.
"We probably can't leave the Eastern Wilderness now. The borderlands will definitely have countless experts waiting. Leaving the Eastern Wilderness now would be like walking into a trap!" Ye Tian's thoughts raced.
"Rustle!!!"
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from nearby.
Ye Tian's heart sank. Had they caught up?
"Demon Emperor, it's me!" a deep voice sounded.
Ye Tian's eyebrows shot up as he looked at the white-robed youth rushing towards him.
The white-robed youth had sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes, looking extremely cold.
"Actually, you don't have to follow me. They won't trouble you!" Ye Tian said lightly.
The person who arrived was Li Jianchen. Li Jianchen had been following Ye Tian ever since he received Ye Tian's promise last time.
Li Jianchen raised an eyebrow, "You said you would help me destroy the Tai Xuan Sacred Land. Are you scared?"
Ye Tian smiled and then said, "A joke. Once I recover my previous life's cultivation, the mere Tai Xuan Sacred Land can be destroyed with a flick of my wrist!"
After that, Li Jianchen said nothing more, only guarding by Ye Tian's side.
Ye Tian looked at Li Jianchen beside him, lost in thought, and then a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Li Jianchen, I have an supreme sword art from an ancient sword demon. Are you willing to cultivate it?" Ye Tian took a deep breath and then slowly said.
Li Jianchen's eyes lit up, and he said, "What is there to be afraid of!"
Only those who are mad for the sword can be called sword demons. Ancient sword demons were Supremacy-level experts, and their demonic swords could almost cleave the heavens and destroy the earth.
Although their Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace also had top-tier sword cultivation legacies, compared to the ancient sword demon's sword art, there was certainly a huge difference.
"The inheritance process will be a bit painful, so bear with it!" Ye Tian smiled and then said.
Li Jianchen nodded, then closed his eyes.
Ye Tian flicked his right hand, and then a black stream of light shot directly from his right hand into Li Jianchen's forehead.
Li Jianchen's face instantly turned extremely pale.
A violent aura surged wildly within Li Jianchen's mind, seemingly tearing at his soul.
Agony, deep agony, almost plunging Li Jianchen into an endless abyss.
Li Jianchen felt as if his body was being sliced into a thousand pieces, countless sword energies tearing at his flesh and soul.
This was not a little bit of pain, it was clearly billions of points of pain...
The violent aura and the intense pain tore at Li Jianchen's body and soul.
...
Half an hour later, Li Jianchen finally finished digesting the inheritance given by Ye Tian.
Li Jianchen's body slowly recovered under the nourishment of Ye Tian's spiritual energy.
...
"Lord Demon Emperor, someone is coming!" Just as Ye Tian was recovering Li Jianchen's body, the Nightmare Beast beside him exclaimed.
Ye Tian's heart sank, and he then hid in the nearby jungle.
...
"There was just an extremely dark aura here. Could it be Ye Tian?" A middle-aged cultivator wearing a blue robe asked.
There were also quite a few cultivators beside him, all searching for Ye Tian along with this middle-aged cultivator.
These cultivators were mostly at the Spirit River Realm, with a small portion at the Divine Sea Realm.
They continuously scanned their surroundings with their spiritual power, trying to find Ye Tian's whereabouts.
"Whether he's here or not, let's search slowly. That's the Demon Emperor, a story to brag about for a lifetime. I once pursued the Demon Emperor!" The middle-aged cultivator continued.
"That's right, that's right. If we really capture the Demon Emperor, not only will we get ten million top-grade spirit stones, but the Demon Emperor must have many treasures. The Tai Xuan Sacred Land said we can choose freely!" Another cultivator beside him said, his eyes full of greed.
Ye Tian, hiding in the dark, felt his scalp tingle upon hearing their words.
Ten million top-grade spirit stones. Was the Tai Xuan Sacred Land out of its mind?
I'm just a cultivator who just broke through to the Spirit River Realm... Is it that necessary...
Ye Tian finally experienced the terrifying power of a Sacred Land now. If he had such a powerful force in his previous life, he wouldn't have...
Thinking of being chased like a dog all the way, Ye Tian felt boundless rage.
When had he, the dignified Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor, ever endured such humiliation?
Forget it, my cultivation is not enough yet. I won't bother with them for now, Ye Tian thought, and then continued to hide.
These cultivators searched the surroundings several times but found nothing.
"Could this Demon Emperor be hiding underground? I think we should dig three feet and burn the forest as a sign of respect..."
"Yes, this Demon Emperor is cunning and treacherous, perhaps hiding very deeply. Dig, we must dig..."
'That's right, I agree too... After digging and burning... then set up a net of heaven and earth...'
