迈开腿给我尝一下

Xiang Tianyi was confused. He unconsciously wanted to ask the people behind him who Di Jiu was.

“It was really them who killed my grandnephew,” said Ouyang Mufei through gritted teeth before Xiang Tianyi could reply.

“Who killed your grandnephew, Peak Master Ouyang?” Xiang Tianyi got even more confused.

Ouyang Mufei bowed before Xiang Tianyi before he said hatefully, “Di Jiu and Geng Jihua. Elder Shang just said so. The two of them are lawless individuals who started plotting against Ouyang Tao as soon as they entered this sect. After killing Ouyang Tao, they stole all his belongings and killed Qiao Sa...”

After Ouyang Tao had been killed, Ouyang Mufei had checked all the records of the day. Qiao Sa had accepted a mission for the Furious Gale Mountain Ridge. The mission records stated that Ouyang Tao and Qiao Sa had gone together. Di Jiu had accepted a mission right after Qiao Sa. The mission had been the Millennial Floating Castle. According to the records, Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had gone together.

Di Jiu and Geng Jihua had only joined the sect recently, hence, they were removed by Ouyang Mufei from the list of suspects. It seemed now that the murderers of his grandnephew were indeed the two men.

“That’s not possible. Di Jiu and Geng Jihua were recruited by me. They had never cultivated before or possessed a cultivation base. How could they have killed Ouyang Tao, let alone headed to the Marsh Ocean Town and provoked Young Master Shao’s wrath?” said Yu Jingyan hurriedly.

Actually, Di Jiu had cultivated before. However, at that point in time, all his meridians had been shattered. Yu Jingyan had not looked closely enough, so he had failed to see this.

“What is going on?” Xiang Tianyi also sensed that there was something amiss.

“While the Galaxy Sect had been recruiting, I happened to visit the Lonely River City,” Yu Jingyan explained. “Di Jiu and Geng Jihua both had very limited potential, so no sect wanted to recruit them. At the time, I had been in a good mood because I had just won a bet against Elder Hui. Therefore, when I saw that Di Jiu and Geng Jihua knew one of the newly-recruited disciples, Jing Moshuang, I made an exception and accepted them as outer sect disciples. At that point, they truly had not cultivated before.”

As soon as he said that, Yu Jingyan sent a voice message to Xiang Tianyi. “Sect Master, the truth is that Geng Jihua could possess an extremely rare, pure Rainbow Thunder Spirit Root instead of an impure Thunder Spirit Root. Di Jiu’s Spirit Root tested pure black, so I suspect that it was a Spirit Root yet to be found in the Polar Night Continent. The Polar Night Continent is currently going through a period of uncertainty and turbulence, while the Galaxy Sect is getting weaker by the day. If we are unable to recruit genius disciples, I am afraid that this will not be the last time such a thing happens. Perhaps the Galaxy Sect will even be exterminated one day.”

“Unfortunately, I received your urgent message while you were at the Polar Night Sky Market. I intended to personally accept them as my disciples when I came back, but due to the sect’s conference, I did not manage to do so.”

Xiang Tianyi was surprised. If what Yu Jingyan said about Di Jiu and Geng Jihua never cultivating before was true, then the two of them had to be extraordinary geniuses. They had managed to kill Young Master Qi Shao and Ouyang Tao after all.

If they were really so talented, Xiang Tianyi would sacrifice his life to prevent those two disciples from getting captured by the Qi Family.

When he realized that Di Jiu had killed Qi Shao after only cultivating for a few months, Xiang Tianyi immediately made a decision. He did not know that this incident had occurred three months ago.

Qi Zhishang laughed boisterously. There was no trace of a smile on his face, while the killing intent around him was very dense. “So that’s what really happened. Xiang Tianyi, you are the master of the sect, so I am giving you an option. Hand Di Jiu and Geng Jihua over, let Yu Jingyan kill himself and then dissolve the Galaxy Sect.”

If there had been any room for compromise when he mentioned handing over Di Jiu and Geng Jihua, Qi Zhishang’s intention to exterminate the Galaxy Sect destroyed it.

Xiang Tianyi took a deep breath before he said calmly, “The Galaxy Sect may be small and weak, but we cannot be bullied and humiliated by anyone. I admit that the Qi Family’s Commercial Building is more powerful than the Galaxy Sect, but if you have no justification for wanting to casually kill the disciples of our sect, the Galaxy Sect will not concede. We will fight all the way.”

“You must have a death wish!” The killing aura surrounding Qi Zhishang exploded. A Seed Nebula Axe appeared as a powerful axe aura instantaneously enveloped all the Golden Core cultivators present. However, instead of using the Seed Nebula Axe, he struck with a fist, aiming for Golden Core Elder Yu Jingyan.

When the rest of the Golden Core cultivators were trapped, Yu Jingyan, who was severely injured, could not block Qi Zhishang’s fist attack. Not even a defense Dharma treasure would help him now.

All it took was one fist for Yu Jingyan’s body to explode into a mist of blood.

“Kill! The Galaxy Sect’s disciples always fight to the death...” When he saw Qi Zhishang kill Yu Jingyan, Xiang Tianyi’s eyes turned bloodshot. He frantically took out a long spear and lunged at Qi Zhishang.

Besides Ouyang Mufei, who pretended to be fighting against the killing aura and could not rush over, all the other Galaxy Sect Golden Core cultivators took out their Dharma treasures and attacked Qi Zhishang in a frenzy. The killing array outside the Galaxy Sect was also activated.

For a moment, killing intent enveloped the entire sect. Various dharmic spells exploded all over the place. The Galaxy Sect did not have any Essence Soul cultivators, so despite the aid of the killing array, three Golden Core cultivators were still killed. Soon, the Galaxy Sect had lost four Golden Core cultivators, including Yu Jingyan. After losing a limb, Xiang Tianyi finally managed to wound Qi Zhishang’s waist with his spear.

Qi Zhishang roared in anger. He had thought that killing some Golden Core weaklings would be a piece of cake for a fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm expert. He had not expected that Xiang Tianyi would act so crazily and lead the Galaxy Sect’s Golden Core cultivators into a fight to the death despite knowing that every member of the Galaxy Sect could die.

Qi Zhishang’s Essence Soul Realm would be meaningless if he could not exterminate the Galaxy Sect today.

The violent axe aura started to condense. Meanwhile, an oppressive killing aura began to surround Qi Zhishang.

Xiang Tianyi’s heart sank. Despite the Galaxy Sect’s killing array, the sect’s overall strength was still much weaker than Qi Zhishang’s. He had to kill Qi Zhishang before the Galaxy Sect was exterminated.

Boom! Suddenly, a powerful tyrannical aura leaped into the sky. This aura came from deep within the Galaxy Sect, where fury seemed to be brewing.

Qi Zhishang, who flew into a violent rage, immediately sensed this tyrannical aura. His heart was suddenly shook. This was definitely the aura of an Essence Soul cultivator.

The Galaxy Sect had Essence Soul cultivators? If this was true, he would die there if he did not leave.

Although he was not scared of a mere Essence Soul cultivator, the circumstances were not exactly good. Besides the many Golden Core cultivators who were unafraid to die, there was also a killing array.

However, if the sect really had an Essence Soul cultivator, then why did that cultivator refuse to come out?

Xiang Tianyi and co were pleasantly surprised. This aura was evidently the aura of someone who had broken through to the Essence Soul Realm. The Galaxy Sect had a Grand Elder who had gone into seclusion more than 100 years ago, so everyone had logically assumed that he must have met his doom.

Could this Essence Soul Aura mean that this Grand Elder was still alive and had attained the Essence Soul Realm?

“Elder Liu has attained the Essence Soul Realm! Let’s leave him here forever!” Xiang Tianyi had become even more frenetic after losing a limb.

Almost at the same moment that Xiang Tianyi said this, a gray human shadow rushed out of the deep recesses of the Galaxy Sect.

“Kill him!” Xiang Tianyi was the first person to rush at Qi Zhishang. The rest of the Galaxy Sect’s Golden Core cultivators followed him. Even Ouyang Mufei, who had purposely been staying back so far, also rushed over.

Qi Zhishang finally calmed down his killing intent. He could still have succeeded if there had been no Essence Soul cultivator. Now that there was an Essence Soul cultivator though, he would lose his life if he stayed there.

As soon as he thought of leaving, Qi Zhishang instantly restrained his killing aura and tried to rush out of the killing array. Although he was a perfected fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, he still had to lose a limb to be able to escape from the madly-charging 20 to 30 Golden Core cultivators. However, he managed to kill another Golden Core cultivator before he left.

To an Essence Soul cultivator, losing a limb would not be significant if said limb was immediately reattached. However, Qi Zhishang failed to take his detached limb with him, so his strength dropped drastically.

He would need to make a lot of effort to be able to stay at the fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm, let alone be able to break through to the fifth-stage Essence Soul Realm in the future. If he didn’t get even better opportunities, his cultivation would remain stagnant. Therefore, he was more anxious about finding treasure that could help him recover his missing limb instead of chasing down and killing Di Jiu.

As soon as Qi Zhishang retreated, an old man in gray clothes stepped in front of the crowd.

“Grand Elder Liu! Congratulations for attaining the Essence Soul Realm!” All the Golden Core cultivators went up to express their respect.

Even though the Galaxy Sect had lost five Golden Core cultivators in this battle and Xiang Tianyi had lost a limb, if an Essence Soul cultivator appeared in the sect, all this would be worth it.

“Did Qi Zhishang just leave?” the elder asked solemnly as he looked in the direction that Qi Zhishang had disappeared to.

Xiang Tianyi’s limb had been fragmented by Qi Zhishang, so it could not be reattached. Xiang Tianyi could only bow with one hand and say, “Yes, that was Qi Zhishang from the Qi Family’s Commercial Building.”

He subtly sensed that although Grand Elder Liu had attained the Essence Soul Realm, his spirits did not seem to be high. Perhaps there were some issues with Grand Elder Liu’s cultivation. The fact that he did not see Grand Elder Liu’s Thunder Tribulation worried him even more.

“Should we seal off our sect?” asked a Golden Core cultivator worriedly.

“Even if we seal it off, the Galaxy Sect will still be exterminated in a few decades. If we cannot live grandly, then we should at least die grandly. In any case, why would we need to seal off the sect?” Xiang Tianyi said without hesitation.

The elder in the gray clothes nodded his head. “Sect Master Xiang is right. If we seal off the sect, others will think that the Galaxy Sect is afraid. We should not talk about this here. Let’s head back to the sect’s hall first.”
