Chapter 225: Panic And The Old Ancestors.
“Martial Uncle’s fire of life was extinguished…”
The Dark Source Sect disciple trembled in fear after he finished speaking. By this point, he already closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate.
When the fire of life goes out, it represents complete death. Not even the Divine Sense escaped.
Due to this, the disciple became even more desperate. He knew very well the position of Mingyou in the Sect.
As one of the Legends closest to Master-class in the entire overseas, his death will definitely arouse the anger of the Sect Master.
Under the anger of the Sect Master, it was difficult for him, a common disciple, to survive.
This was the Dark Source Sect, there was no distinction between good and evil. Here, the strong were respected, the weak were destined to be enslaved and slaughtered.
“What did you just say?”
There was silence in the hall. Finally, the Elders reacted. They stared at the disciple in disbelief. Mingyou was almost at Master-class, he’s famous for his strength, so how can he die?
Furthermore, when the fire of life was extinguished, that meant that the Divine Sense did not survive. Unless the opponent had overwhelming strength, how could he not even escape with his Divine Sense?
“Impossible, Senior Brother Mingyou’s [Illusory Devil Body] is at Great Accomplishment. He can switch between reality and illusion at will. Even if he met a true Master-class powerhouse, he would be defeated but not die!”
“Yes, let alone a Master-class powerhouse, even if a group worked together, Senior Brother Mingyou’s Divine Sense could escape.”
“What’s your name, what is your rank? Are you aware that you will be tortured by the Sect if you lie about such information? By then, you will not have the will to live and won’t be able to ask for death. Now, tell me, do you want to enjoy such treatment?”
The Elders were staring at the disciple. A grumpy Elder was even prepared to take action, and kill the dísciple.
In the minds of all the Elders, such a situation was just impossible!
“Alright.”
“Be quiet!”
Just as the disciple was about to be slapped to death by the grumpy Elder, the Sect Master finally spoke.
Underlying in his words was an inexplicable aura. The grumpy Elder’s face suddenly turned pale and he immediately stopped. His expression became respectful and listened.
The same goes for the remaining Elders, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
“What did you just see?” The Sect Master looked at the disciple, one could not find any wrong in his tone of voice.
But all of the Elders knew that the more calm the Sect Master was, the more he was on the verge of exploding.
“Sect Master.”
“I guard the fire of life of the Elders day and night. I just watched the fire of life of Martial Uncle go out.”
The disciples mustered up his courage and said.
“I see…”
The Sect Master still remained expressionless.
In fact, when the disciple first said that the fire of life of Mingyou was extinguished, he had already confirmed it with his Divine Sense and concluded that what the disciple said was true.
When the remaining elders saw this scene, they sent out their Divine Sense one after another. A Legend’s Divine Sense who had just entered the Legend Realm was able to cover a radius of ten miles, so it was even more for the Elders.
Since they were able to become an Elder, they were at least at the 4th Heavenly Layer. Most of them were even at Peak 4th Heavenly Layer.
In their eyes, nothing in the Sect can avoid them except for some hidden places that can resist Divine Sense detection.
Soon, as the Elders’ Divine Senses swept over the place where the fires of life were being stored, the Elders fell silent.
Mingyou’s fire of life was indeed extinguished.
After so many confirmations by the Elders, it can be said that it was an indisputable fact.
“Senior Brother Mingyou is really gone…”
After a long time, an Elder bitterly opened his mouth.
Just now, they were full of confidence in Mingyou, thinking that the True Monarch’s Cave Mansion operation would be easy. However, it didn’t take long before Mingyou died…
The remaining Elders also showed a sense of concern.
“Sect Master, this matter…”
An Elder wanted to ask the Sect Master for his opinion, but he was interrupted by the Sect Master: “All of you can leave.”
“Yes.” The Elders glanced at each other, before bowing and leaving.
At the same time, the same thing was happening in the Snow God Palace, Myriad Sword Sect and other Major Sects. It was hard to accept the fact that the fires of life of their Elders got extinguished.
The Palace Lord of the Snow God Palace was furious. Extremely cold temperatures shrouded ten miles around. The sky seemed to have frozen, tuning into ice. Except for the disciples of the Snow God Palace, any nearby Legend was frozen on the spot.
Sometimes, disputes would occasionally occur overseas. But in any case, it would be at most disciples fighting. The fall of an Elder level existence was rare.
But now, Major Sects such as the Dark Source Sect, Snow God Palace, etc. had their Elders killed. It was especially painful for the Dark Source Sect, as Mingyou was half a step to Master-class. The shock caused by this can be imagined.
The overseas Martial Arts circles were spiritedly discussing the situation. Both Rogue Cultivators and Major Sects were constantly talking about it in secret.
“Snow God Palace, Myriad Sword Sect and the Dark Source suffered heavy losses this time. The Snow God Palace is in a better position. But the Dark Source Sect lost big time…”
“The Snow God Palace is in a better position? Don’t you know that the Snow God Palace’s Saintess died?”
“What? Their Saintess died?”
Many Martial Artists were suddenly stunned.
The Saintess of the Snow God Palace had a special status. She was the heir of the Palace Lord, and her status was above an Elder.
“Regardless of the loss of these Major Sects, I am much more curious on who is behind all this…”
Someone raised his doubt.
“Is it possible that other some other Major Sect secretly took action?”
“Impossible, the Major Sects are not stupid. Even if they really want to do it, they will do it one by one. How can it be possible to directly declare war on forces on the same level as the Snow God Palace, Myriad Sword Sect and the Dark Source Sect?”
Countless people continued to argue, but they didn’t have an accurate answer. In the end, the only guess that everyone agreed on was that the person who took action should have a terrifying strength to the point of an unpredictable level.
- ווו
While the outside world was bustling with discussions, on an overseas island, the Dark Source Sect Master, the Snow God Palace Lord, the Myriad Sword Sect Master, and the Dao Yi Men Sect Master were having a meeting.
At this time, with the exception of the Dao Yi Men Sect Master, the faces of the others were gloomy.
“What the hell is going on?” The God Palace Lord stared at the Dark Source Sect Master and said with emphasis on each word: “Your Deputy Head, Mingyou, said that you discovered the True Monarch Eastern Sea’s Cave Mansion, but as result, I lost an Elder because of this operation!”
As the Snow God Palace Lord spoke, the Myriad Sword Sect Master also gazed at the Dark Source Sect Master.
With two Sect Masters pressuring him at the same time, the Dark Source Sect Master’s brows slightly wrinkled.
“How would I know what’s going on?”
“Don’t forget, you just lost an Elder while I lost my Deputy Head!” The Dark Source Sect Master suppressed his anger and said solemnly.
“Indeed.”
The face of the Myriad Sword Sect Master slightly softened.
It was true that in terms of loss, the Dark Source Sect lost the most, even more than the Snow God Palace.
The Saintess of the Snow God Palace was dead, but a Saintess was only a Saintess after all. No matter how great her potential was, it is only potential. The Deputy Head of the Dark Source Sect, Mingyou, on the other hand had real combat strength. The latter obviously weighed more.
“Dao Yi Men Sect Master, it has already been twice in a row.” The Dark Source Sect Master turned his head to look at the Dao Yi Men Sect Master and said with a cold voice: “The first time may be a coincidence, but the second time… We all sent our people, but all are dead except your Elder!”
“This Old Taoist really doesn’t know what’s happening…”
The Dao Yi Men Sect Master was rather helpless. Although it was a good thing that his Direct Disciple Elder was still alive, it was obvious that the other Major Sects were beginning to doubt him.
“If I really want to do something to you, how can I just kill your Elders?”
The Dao Yi Men Sect Master, who was silent for a while, slowly said.
Losing an Elder may be painful and a heavy loss, but it does not hurt the roots of the Major Sects.
It was their Sect Masters and the sleeping Ancestors that can really determine the future of the Major Sects.
As for the Elders?
There were countless of them among the big population overseas, and so-called geniuses appear every year. If the Saintess was gone, can’t we train another one?
“I really hope you are not lying…”
The Snow God Palace Lord thought for a moment, and said softly.
She felt that if the Dao Yi Men really dealt with them, they would definitely attack a Master-class level existence. There was no need to deal with the younger generation.
“Okay.”
“In that case.”
“Shall we talk about what to do next?”
The Myriad Sword Sect looked at the others and asked calmly.
“Regardless of this Old Taoist’s Elder not being dead, we know that to be able to kill our Elders so quietly, it would need at least a Master-class to take action.”
In order to remove his suspicion, the Sect Master of Dao Yi Men immediately stated his conjecture.
The Snow God Palace Lord and the Myriad Sword Sect Master slightly nodded in agreement.
I am afraid that only a true Master-class can do such a thing so cleanly. Even the Elders’ Divine Sense could not escape.
“It’s not just some Master-class.”
At this time, the Dark Source Sect Master shook his head and said: “I know the strength of Mingyou. An ordinary Master-class would not be able to stop him from escaping, it needs to be at least Peak Master-class.”
The Dark Source Sect Master’s words barely sounded when the Snow God Palace Lord and the others’ faces changed.
Peak Master-class?
Generally speaking, the 5th Heavenly Layer to 6th Heavenly Layer was the Master-class, while Peak Master-class was Peak 6th Heavenly Layer which was only one step away from the 7th Heavenly Layer. There were not many of such people, even in the entire overseas.
“This is troublesome…”
The Myriad Sword Sect Master suddenly found the situation more complicated.
If it was just a Master-class, even if they could not kill him, they could certainly suppress him.
But Peak Master-class…
If the Peak Master-class wanted to leave, no amount of Master-class could stop him.
What makes the Dark Source Sect Master and the Snow God Palace Lord even more fearful was that they don’t know who was the Peak Master-class that did this? From which side was he from?
“This matter is no longer for us to decide.”
The Snow God Palace Lord solemnly said: “I need to report this to the Old Ancestor.”
