Seeing the group of Unity-stage cultivators about to attack the Tiansheng Sect’s array—and with one fellow even looking ready to self-detonate—the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor knew he couldn't stay hidden any longer!
If the array were broken, the losses to the Tiansheng Sect would be catastrophic.
With that thought, his body transformed into a streak of pale-gold light, instantly positioning himself in front of the group of Unity-stage cultivators.
In an instant, the unique pressure of the Mahayana stage swept out, the majestic weight of it crushing the void. Everyone felt their hearts suddenly sink, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.
Emperor Tianqi and his group knew it was the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor. However, he wasn't worried; when he came this time, he had also called upon his own Ancestor.
Sure enough, the moment the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor appeared and before he could even speak, two identical auras tore through the sky from opposite sides, landing steadily in the void nearby.
In the void to the left stood a majestic man in a gold robe embroidered with dark patterns of nine dragons chasing the sun. He was the Tianqi Ancestor.
In the void to the right, the Yunhua Ancestor stood gracefully, wearing a plain white Daoist robe with cloud patterns. His face was handsome and gentle, appearing as detached and elegant as a banished immortal, with eyes as deep as a sea of stars.
As soon as the two appeared, they simultaneously released the pressure of Mahayana stage cultivators. Like two invisible giant walls, they completely neutralized and dispersed the pressure emitted by the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor.
The vast spiritual energy of the three parties collided in mid-air, stirring up ripples in space and causing the atmosphere to freeze to its limit.
Emperor Tianqi and the others saw this and thought... well, the three big shots had arrived. This matter was no longer for them to decide!
“Old Ghost Ling, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to bully the weak?” The Tianqi Ancestor flicked his sleeve, his voice sounding majestic and heavy.
The Yunhua Ancestor also stared at the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor with deep eyes, waiting for an explanation.
Seeing this, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor furrowed his brow slightly, secretly thinking to himself: I absolutely cannot give these two old fellows a chance to team up and beat me.
With that in mind, he raised an eyebrow and spoke up: “Ancestor Ji, what nonsense are you talking about?”
“I see that our three sects have been loving and harmonious for so many years, so why would we start fighting for no reason? I simply wanted to ask if there was some misunderstanding between the juniors!”
As soon as the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor finished speaking, the Great General of the Tianqi Dynasty shouted at the top of his lungs, “What misunderstanding could there be? Your Tiansheng Sect killed our Crown Prince!”
The Palace Master of the Yunhua Sacred Palace chimed in, “And our Saint!”
With their own Ancestors backing them up now, they naturally had to voice their grievances.
“That’s right... and the Saint of our Artifact Forging Sect!”
“And our Beast Taming Sect’s Saint!”
“Our Nine Array Sect’s Saint!”
Others also ‘borrowed’ the presence of the Ancestors to bolster their own courage.
Hearing these shouts, the Tiansheng Sect Leader was beyond furious. These people were truly shameless. He now strongly suspected that the Saints and Saintesses of these sects had conspired to kill his own Saintess!
Thus, as soon as they finished speaking, the Tiansheng Sect Leader could no longer restrain himself: “You’re full of it! It was clearly your Crown Prince and Saints who conspired to kill our Saintess, and now you’re crying thief!”
“You’re the one full of it! Your whole sect is full of it! It was clearly your Saintess who used her beauty to trick and kill our Crown Prince!” Mo Changye’s voice rang out in exasperation the moment the Tiansheng Sect Leader stopped.
Following him, Gu Qing also shouted indignantly, “Exactly! It was clearly your Tiansheng Sect that killed our Saint, yet you’re the ones crying thief. You’re all just reincarnations of dung beetles—you don’t speak a word of truth!”
Hearing this, the members of the Tiansheng Sect were so angry they wanted to rush up and tear their mouths apart. Damn it, their words were too vicious.
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor also looked grim, but as an Ancestor, he couldn't exactly engage in a shouting match with them!
Seeing the look on the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor's face, the Tianqi Ancestor and the Yunhua Ancestor both had twitching lips, clearly enjoying his frustration.
At this moment, the Tiansheng Sect Leader was so angry his face turned the color of pig liver. He took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide:
“You insidious, despicable, shameless, unscrupulous, rot-bellied bastards! You're the ones crying thief while being the thieves yourselves, and yet you have the nerve to frame my Tiansheng Sect...”
As soon as the Tiansheng Sect Leader finished, the entire field fell silent. Everyone stared at him with their mouths agape.
Good heavens, was this still the righteous and dignified Tiansheng Sect Leader? This was a total shrew!
Even the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor looked surprised. He never knew his own Sect Leader had such verbal talent.
While everyone was still in shock, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor coughed twice and said, “Ahem... everyone, let’s stop arguing. I believe this is all just a misunderstanding...”
As his voice fell, the others snapped out of it. Of course you want to stop the argument now—your Sect Leader already had his fill of cursing!
The Tianqi Ancestor’s face was ashen as he looked at the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor. “Old Ghost Ling, you’d better give us an explanation!”
In truth, he also felt something was off! If the Tiansheng Sect’s Saintess was also dead, then this matter was indeed strange!
“I can swear to the Heavenly Dao right now that our Saintess, Ye Qingcheng, is truly dead!” the Tiansheng Sect Leader shouted directly.
Emperor Tianqi and his group were stunned. They hadn't expected the Tiansheng Sect’s Saintess to actually be dead.
Could it be that their Crown Prince really wasn't killed by the Tiansheng Sect?
“Our Crown Prince is also truly dead! Not only that, but of all the people the Tianqi Dynasty sent to participate in the Saintess's Husband Selection Assembly, everyone except Mo Changye is dead!” Emperor Tianqi said coldly.
“In our Yunhua Sacred Palace, everyone except Gu Qing is dead as well!”
“For our Artifact Forging Sect, there is no ‘except’—everyone is dead!”
“Our Beast Taming Sect is the same—all dead!”
“The Nine Array Sect is wiped out!”
“All dead!”
...
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, the Sect Leader, and the rest couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. No wonder these people were besieging their sect. So many people had died!
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor frowned and asked, “Then why do you believe it was my Tiansheng Sect that did it?”
Mo Changye jumped out immediately. “That’s because before our Crown Prince died, your Saintess organized a Monkey-Killing Plan...”
“What Monkey-Killing Plan?” the Tiansheng Sect Leader asked, looking completely bewildered.
Mo Changye didn't waste any words and recounted the story of Ye Qingcheng seeking out the Tianqi Crown Prince and the others to kill the monkey.
“An immortal artifact?”
“An immortal-grade technique?”
Hearing Mo Changye’s narration, many people couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
When Mo Changye finished, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, the Tianqi Ancestor, and the Yunhua Ancestor looked at each other, momentarily speechless.
Did their Xuantian Continent even have such things?
“Is your Saintess a member of a hidden ancient power from the Immortal Ancient era?” the Tianqi Ancestor asked, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor.
The Yunhua Ancestor also stared intently at him.
In the Xuantian Continent, there were rumors that some ancient powers from the Immortal Ancient era had survived to this day, remaining hidden from the world.
