Chapter 368: Chapter 367 – Whose life will you leave here?_1
“Who?” Yan Tianzhi noticed the woman who appeared next to Lu Yang.
He had been closely observing the battle above the heavens, not paying attention to Lu Yang’s situation, and suddenly a person appeared out of nowhere?
Lan Ting and Bai Ming reacted similarly to Yan Tianzhi, they were completely unaware that Lu Yang had used the Imitation Fist to summon the Eldest Senior Sister.
“The Acting Sect Master?” Lan Ting had seen the Eldest Senior Sister while attending a meeting at the Seek Dao Sect with her master, and was even coerced by the Eldest Senior Sister to marry Lu Yang.
Afterward, her master told her that Yun Zhi was the Acting Sect Master of the Seek Dao Sect, and her cultivation level was unfathomable.
Bai Ming, on the other hand, had met Lan Ting at a conference between the Five Elements Sect and the Seek Dao Sect, and he was told by his master that the Eldest Senior Sister of the Seek Dao Sect was the foremost among those of her age in the Immortal Sect and should not be provoked.
Yan Tianzhi didn’t know the Eldest Senior Sister. He heard that the Seek Dao Sect had changed its Sect Leader, but he didn’t know who became the Sect Leader.
Meng Jingzhou smiled confidently, feeling that the sudden appearance of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator in red wasn’t a big deal, so much so that he felt even a battle in the high heavens wouldn’t be a problem.
“This is our Eldest Senior Sister, the Acting Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect, Yun Zhi,” Meng Jingzhou introduced solemnly.
“With her here, this place is absolutely safe!”
Lan Ting and the others did not quite understand.
The Acting Sect Master of the Seek Dao Sect had a cultivation level that was roughly similar to Daoist Buyu’s, and perhaps, if guessed daringly, was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
If the Eldest Senior Sister of the Seek Dao Sect was to fight the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator in the sky, the aftermath alone would be enough to turn mountains and seas upside down and cause devastation, so how could it be safe?
Yun Zhi disregarded the meanings of the people present, quietly watching the battle high in the heavens, her face expressionless, her thoughts inscrutable.
Lan Ting suddenly noticed that Xia Qun, who had been incessantly talkative, had fallen silent, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Mr. Xia, are you okay?”
Gulp, Xia Qun swallowed with difficulty, forced out a smile, “I…I’m fine, look how happy I am, the State Governor will be saved.”
Yun Zhi turned her head to look at Xia Qun: “Do you know who I am?”
In response to Yun Zhi’s inquiry, Xia Qun did not dare to not answer: “I happened to be there when our ancestral progenitor left our ancestral land to personally welcome you.”
Xia Qun had no choice but to feel afraid. Who was their ancestral progenitor, after all? There had hardly been any peers over the ages, and he had never heard of the ancestral progenitor leaving the ancestral land.
Who could have thought that on the day he prepared to visit the ancestral progenitor, he would see the ancestral progenitor leave the ancestral land to personally welcome this unbelievably beautiful elder of the Seek Dao Sect.
The importance of this elder from the Seek Dao Sect could be imagined.
Yun Zhi nodded, “Since we are of similar age, there is no need to address me as elder. You can simply call me Daoist Yun Zhi.”
Xia Qun nodded in agreement, but he didn’t dare to actually call her that.
If their ancestral progenitor were to find out about this, he feared he would have difficulty leaving the Imperial City alive.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was taken aback. If he was of a similar age to the Eldest Senior Sister and had Initial Fusion Stage Cultivation, didn’t that mean that this Mr. Xia’s talent for cultivation was about the same as Senior Brother Dai Bufan’s?
Seeing Xia Qun’s reaction and considering Xia Qun’s talent, Meng Jingzhou was slightly puzzled.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yang asked through mental transmission.
“Do you know the royal family’s surname?”
“Isn’t it Jiang?”
“Yes, it’s Jiang, but when the royal family goes out and needs to hide their identity, they usually change their surname to ‘Xia’.”
“Are you saying that Mr. Xia is from the royal family?”
“It’s possible.”
…
Up in the sky, the figure in red let out a creepy laugh, rescuing two ancient cultivators, giving them elixirs to restore their strength.
“Master.” On seeing the figure in red, the two ancient cultivators put away their arrogance, not daring to be the least bit negligent.
“You both have done well. It was not in vain that I hid you two in this secret realm, so I could have the chance to see the legendary State Destiny and the illusory image of the Taishang Sword.”
With the cultivation level of the figure in red, he could deduce many things from just an illusion.
The State Destiny and the Taishang Sword will inevitably become obstacles to the rise of their Great Yu Dynasty.
If the figure in red were to take action himself, the Province Governor would only use the State Destiny to disperse the lower cultivators. He would not mobilize the State Destiny to battle.
A sense of apprehension formed in the Province Governor’s heart. The State Destiny concerned the very fundamentals. If the ancient cultivators knew how to use it, they would certainly develop a method to counter it. The State Destiny, which was invincible, would then become limited and its power greatly reduced.
As for the Taishang Sword, he wasn’t aware of its true nature. However, if the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators valued it highly, it must be of great significance.
“I cannot let you live!”
At this crucial juncture, people like Sect Leader Mi could no longer serve any purpose. The only thing the Province Governor could rely on was the seal in his hand.
He utilized the State Destiny once again. The vast State Destiny turned into the Taishang Sword once again. The Sword Qi surged, its dazzling radiance shining even brighter than the sun, as if it had the power to create a new world.
The figure in red smirked coldly, seeing the Province Governor’s efforts as futile. He could temporarily make his body intangible, making him immune to all attacks. His fighting power wasn’t particularly strong among cultivators of the same realm, but no one could injure him.
As the illusory image of the Taishang Sword descended, a wound appeared on the chest of the figure in red. His flesh was torn apart, revealing white bone.
“What?!” The figure in red was taken aback. His ability to make himself intangible was part of the rules, and it had never failed before. Much to his surprise, he was wounded by the illusory image of the Taishang Sword and received heavy internal damage.
“No wonder the imperial teacher repeatedly warned me to be cautious of the illusory image of the Taishang Sword. So it has the ability to temporarily erase rules!”
Crack.
A crisp sound echoed, and the figure in red noticed the jade hung around his neck had shattered. It was his life-saving treasure. This meant that the illusory image of the Taishang Sword had already killed him once!
The figure in red, furious, laughed scornfully, “There’s no need for us to make a clean break with Great Xia just yet. I initially wanted to spare your life, but you’ve decided to court death and hurt me. I’ll let you be buried here along with the lower cultivators!”
As the figure in red’s words fell, he reined in his playful attitude. There was an indescribable silence in the air, making breathing seem difficult.
Exotic flowers bloomed at his feet and in an instant covered the entire sky. He clenched his fists tightly, causing the flowers to wither. A point of light flew out from the withered buds and formed a whip in his hand.
Crack—
He flicked the whip, and space shattered along with it.
The expression of the Province Governor changed drastically. This was a treasure capable of shattering space. Even if he could withstand it, the cultivators below surely wouldn’t be able to resist it.
The two ancient cultivators who were closest to the figure in red were shivering with fear. They knew how terrifying this person could be when enraged. His wrath would only be quenched if an entire city fell, hence his nickname, “The Red Calamity.”
“All of you will lose your lives here!”
The figure in red roared, and the space was trembling as if about to collapse under the force of the whipping thunder.
The cultivators below felt despair. Their hearts were filled with fear and terror. The destructive power had far exceeded their imaginations.
The figure in red laughed ceaselessly and brandished his whip forcefully.
“Huh?”
He swung his arm to crack the whip, but found his arm immobilized.
“No, it’s not just my arm!”
He was horrified to discover that he couldn’t move at all.
“Spatial Stasis!”
He was proficient with the whip, and his whip was a treasure capable of tearing apart space, how could he possibly be locked in a spatial stasis by anyone!
When did this happen?
A lady figure appeared in front of him, cold as ice. She opened her mouth slowly. Her cold, beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion.
“Whose life are you going to take here?”
