Chapter 26 - Just a Misunderstanding?
“Hiss, why haven’t we seen Purple Mountain Ancestor? Could it be that he hasn’t arrived yet?”
“That person seems to be Su Changsheng. Master, what should we do now?”
Not only the Millennial Beast Sect’s master but also the sect disciples who followed him had realized something was amiss. They all anxiously asked with a sense of unease.
The Millennial Beast Sect’s master opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything. He could only force out a smile, but that smile looked even more unsightly than crying.
The Millennial Beast Sect’s master felt like crying without tears! He couldn’t say their own Saint Ancestor had been slaughtered, right? Wasn’t the blood-colored bow in Su Changsheng’s hands the Divine Annihilation Bow that Purple Mountain Ancestor took away?
The originally intact Divine Annihilation Bow was now broken in half, held by Su Changsheng. Moreover, the world had a lingering aura that couldn’t be dispelled. The Millennial Beast Sect’s master understood everything. Their Ancestor had indeed arrived, but not only had he failed to kill Su Changsheng, instead, he had been killed by Su Changsheng.
“Su Changsheng, we were just here to participate in the ceremony. Do you believe us?” The Millennial Beast Sect’s master stammered, trembling for a long time before he barely managed to utter a sentence.
Behind him, the Millennial Beast Sect experts, even if they were fools, could understand what was happening. They were sweating profusely, their hearts trembling, almost kneeling on the ground.
Su Changsheng glanced at them and waved the broken bow in his hand. The heavy bow descended like an immeasurable mountain. Even though it was broken, it still erupted with terrifying power. The fluctuation of a Saint-level burst forth, directly shattering the void.
With a loud bang, the void collapsed, and the Millennial Beast Sect experts, including the sect master, were all obliterated, not leaving behind a trace of their souls. They were just a group of ants. Su Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them and directly killed them with one arrow.
This scene made the powerhouses of the various forces present feel their scalp tingling. The semi-saint sect masters, especially Ling Sword, couldn’t help but inhale cold air, their palms trembling. That was a semi-saint, and just like them, he was the sect master of a top-tier force. Yet, right before their eyes, he was killed by Su Changsheng with a single arrow. If it were them, the result would probably be the same.
Ling Sword was even more fearful and wished he could turn around and run back to the Lingxu Sword Sect. He didn’t want to stay in this ghostly place any longer. But if he left now, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to Saint Changsheng?
“Saint Changsheng is invincible!” At this moment, the Su family, accompanied by a roar from a clan member, all Su family members became extremely emotional. Waves of roaring voices reverberated through the heavens and earth like tidal waves. All of Su’s family members were filled with excitement.
They had thought they were doomed this time. Even the mighty Saint Changsheng might die in battle, and they had even prepared to die alongside their ancestors. But they didn’t expect that Saint Changsheng would be so heaven-defying, forcefully suppressing the saints of the Millennial Beast Sect!
Su Yun, Su Qing, and others were also extremely excited. The beards of the elders trembled. Their fingers quivered with excitement. The Su family was finally going to rise! Gu Qingge also raised her head. Although she couldn’t see Su Changsheng, she knew he had won.
“I’ll be back in a moment!” At this moment, Su Changsheng left behind these words indifferently, then took a step, and his figure disappeared.
Back in a moment? Seeing Su Changsheng suddenly leave, everyone was stunned. At the same time, they remembered his previous words, and an incredible thought arose in their hearts.
Especially the various sect masters, all of them were shocked. Could it be that Saint Changsheng would destroy the Millennial Beast Sect?
…
On the other side, in the Million Beast Mountain Range, towering mountains and palaces stood in the Million Beast Sect. It was majestic and ancient, like a primitive and savage holy realm.
Dong, dong, dong…
Between the mountains, one huge ferocious beast after another shuttled through, their terrifying aura shaking the earth, occasionally letting out roars that caused the forest to tremble.
Bang, bang, bang…
In one of the grand halls of the towering palaces, numerous lamps flickered, and firelight shimmered. Some blazed like pillars. Others were calm as water.
Each flame carried a faint fluctuation of divine consciousness. These were the divine consciousness lamps. Each divine consciousness lamp symbolized a powerful individual, and the state of the flame represented the situation of the corresponding individual.
Once a flame shattered and extinguished, the individual had fallen!
And within this ancient hall were thousands upon thousands of lamps, representing the numerous powerhouses of the Million Beast Sect.
“Hmm hmm…”
At this moment, within the hall, the doors were pushed open, and a cultivator dressed in the attire of an inner disciple walked in, humming a tune, ready to conduct his daily inspection. This was one of the sect’s tasks, quite leisurely, and the rewards were not bad. It was also a significant opportunity. To secure this task, he had even bribed the elder of the sect.
Tsk tsk, as long as I complete this month’s quota and receive the reward, I can break through to the seventh stage of Divine Abilities. By then, my ranking will improve even further! The inner disciple thought happily.
Competition within the Million Beast Sect was fierce, but at the same time, the resources were abundant. As an inner disciple, advancing in rank would bring substantial rewards.
“Ah, there’s nothing to worry about. The Million Beast Sect is a top-tier power with two esteemed elders watching over it. Even the demonic cultivators dare not provoke the sect’s powerful members!”
“I heard that the Sect Master recently led a group of elders and disciples to wipe out the Su family. I envy them so much. They will surely gain significant benefits!”
The inner disciple expressed some jealousy, as the Su family was on the verge of becoming a top-tier power, and its destruction meant immense resources. Even gaining a small share of those resources could benefit a disciple, possibly propelling them to heights.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t get anything from it and could only watch from afar.
“Humph… I told you there was no problem…” The inner disciple muttered lightly, raised his head, and began inspecting the numerous divine consciousness lamps with a sense of pride. It would be surprising if anything happened here!
Each divine consciousness lamp represented at least a Law Phase Realm cultivator or a sect prodigy. If any of them shattered, it would be a significant event.
“Let’s go then!”
After finding no issues, the inner disciple relaxed and prepared to leave.
“Bang…”
However, at that moment, among the countless lamps, one of the higher-ranking lamps suddenly trembled violently and then exploded with a bang.
“Hiss!”
Seeing this, the inner disciple gasped, his eyes almost bulging out. The divine consciousness lamp at that position represented an Elder in the Eternal Ancient Realm.
Who would dare to kill an Elder of the Million Beast Sect? Could it be the unruly Chilian Devil Palace? Or the powerful sea race from the Extreme Sea Territory? Or maybe it was a top-tier power?
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Just as the inner disciple was shocked, hundreds, even thousands of lamps shattered one after another among the countless divine consciousness lamps, extinguishing their flames. This included several of the highest-ranking lamps. Those positions represented the Sect Master and the Saint Ancestors!
“This, this…”
The inner disciple collapsed, his trembling finger pointing at the lamps. Fear surged within him, and his whole body trembled. His mind went blank.
The Million Beast Sect is facing a catastrophe! At this moment, that was the only thought on his mind.
Not only the Sect Master but even the Saint Ancestors had met with an accident. For the Million Beast Sect, it was as if the heavens were falling and the earth was crumbling.
“Ah!!!”
At the same time, a furious roar resounded, shaking the vast wilderness for thousands of miles.
