The Break

Wei Chunxi clicked his tongue in praise, his possessiveness evident in his undisguised expression.

Not long after, a strong wind suddenly swept across the ground, spreading out in all directions, as the air at the location of the Divine Pillar was being squeezed out.

Wei Chunxi said, "Now is the time to make our move!"

"Remember to collect my body."

Lin Qingtong immediately broke the seal and tore off the talisman. Instantly, a fierce aura spread out, disturbing people's minds. Furthermore, an evil light shot into the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

"The mystery has finally been solved... Over six hundred years... Speak the name of your enemy, and I will subject him to the most excruciating punishment in the world."

The Fallen Sun Devil Saber emitted a whisper that pierced the soul, as if it could stir up hatred in people's hearts, making them want to take the weapon and go on a killing spree to vent their pent-up emotions.

Lin Qingtong was prepared and remained focused, unaffected by the attack. With a burst of energy, she shot towards the Divine Pillar like an arrow.

At the same time, Wei Chunxi waved the black banner, formed hand Law Seals, and activated the Spirit-Summoning Divine Arts. Instantly, a huge black shadow descended on Lin Qingtong's back, transforming into an indistinct black evil god, which enhanced his supreme cultivation.

"The Peng Wings Soar and Cover the Firmament!"

The roc spread its wings and transformed into a blade of light, the dark blade energy obscuring the sky. Behind it, the evil god made the same move, just like a scene from a mythological story, and the fierce weapon slammed into the Divine Pillar.

Boom!

As if the heavens and earth were collapsing, the Divine Pillar snapped in response. The backlash force surged forth like the wrath of a saint, and the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire roared in fury. The yin and yang energies collapsed, and the Fallen Sun Devil Saber was still bewitching its master with its murmurs, shattered instantly. The Artifact Spirit was annihilated before it could even let out a wail, and Lin Qingtong was also shaken to pieces.

Wei Chunxi hurriedly waved the black banner, which immediately transformed into a black wind that swept away all of Lin Qingtong's corpses. Then, he fled without looking back.

Even if Si Ming was slow to react, he realized something was wrong after the Divine Pillar appeared and stopped playing. However, he did not connect the whole thing to his performance. After all, the audience was not under control like the citizens of Linked Mountains City. From his perspective, it was just that a tall and thick pillar suddenly appeared in mid-air during the performance.

What's going on?

Si Ming was completely bewildered. He turned around to ask Yuezheng Qiong a question, but was met with a sudden slap.

Her slender palm pressed against Si Ming's chest. The external force was completely blocked by the Jade-Clad Dharma Body, leaving him unmoved. The internal force penetrated into his body and should have been resisted by the Bodhi Golden Body. However, the No-Emptiness Sound Flow, which was originally responsible for protecting his internal organs, suddenly went berserk, causing trouble within his own body and rampaging around.

Si Ming's body trembled violently, blood gushed from his nose, and he staggered back several steps, almost collapsing to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but I have no chance against you here, so I have no choice but to strike first," Yuezheng Qiong said apologetically.

"I do not understand?"

The turn of events came too suddenly, Si Ming was completely unable to make sense of it. She couldn't understand why the other party would launch a sneak attack on her. Was she being controlled, or was she being replaced? Was the strange phenomenon at the God-Sealing Platform related to her? Various guesses kept popping into her mind.

At this moment, Yuezheng Qiong took out a peacock mask from his pocket and said, "Now you understand, right?"

"..."

At this point, even if Si Ming found it hard to believe, he had to accept reality. "How could it be you? Could you be Yuezheng Yao in disguise?"

He immediately dismissed this possibility, because his master had assured him that Yuezheng Yao was one of his own, so there was no reason for her to attack him, especially since the real Yuezheng Yao had already come over.

"How is this possible? Why are you here too, sister...?"

Yuezheng Yao looked at Yuezheng Qiong, her expression equally incredulous.

"You are a spy planted in the Remote Heaven Society by Yan Jinghong. The organization has known this for a long time. In fact, I was in contact with them even earlier than you. Before the Yuezheng Lineage moved to Su State, they had already sent people to contact me. However, I never made up my mind until that kidnapping incident happened."

Chaos erupted at the scene. The crowd was bewildered by the sudden appearance of the Divine Pillar. Since they were unharmed, after the initial shock, they did not turn and run. Instead, they simply regarded it as a rare phenomenon, like the aurora or a mirage. The television crew also turned their cameras to the scene, excitedly explaining the extraordinary sight, completely unaware that no one was watching the program anymore.

The only people who reacted immediately were Yuezheng Yao and Fifth Uncle. The former was always concerned about her sister's every move, while the latter was responsible for protecting her.

Yuezheng Qiong turned to look at her fifth uncle who was walking over, "For this, I have to thank you, fifth uncle."

Fifth Uncle was unaware of the Remote Heaven Society's affairs, but judging from the other party's tone, he knew it wasn't a good thing, so he kept a sullen face and didn't react further.

"I understand now, there are two women wearing peacock masks!" Si Ming suddenly realized.

Yuezheng Qiong admitted, "My sister and I both played the same role, but she didn't know I existed. Remote Heaven Society also deliberately concealed this fact. The person you injured that night was actually me, so of course you couldn't have seen the injuries on my sister... By the way, on the day of the concert, my sister and I were also taking turns performing, and when the unexpected attack happened, I was the one who went on stage."

Yuezheng Yao exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you doing this, sister? The Remote Heaven Society is definitely not a benevolent organization. Although I haven't had much contact with them, I know it's full of irrational lunatics!"

"I know, especially with this 'Heaven-Breaking Scheme,' severing the Four Heavenly Divine Pillars and breaking the Eternal Barrier —just hearing the goal of this plan tells you how insane those people are... But what does that have to do with me? To me, it's just part of a deal. They give me methods to increase my power, and I help them complete their mission; we each get what we want."

Yuezheng Qiong's voice trembled slightly, seemingly not as firm as she had said.

Fifth Uncle finally understood what kind of organization Remote Heaven Society, and scolded, "Yuezheng Qiong, have you gone mad? Do you know how much disaster this will bring to the Lineage? Do you really think that just because modern law doesn't have the crime of guilt by association, others won't hold a grudge against our Yuezheng Lineage?"

Yuezheng Qiong said in an icy tone, "What does that have to do with me? Since I've made up my mind to become a traitor to the Lineage, I naturally don't care about the Lineage's fate. Whether you live or die, what does it have to do with me?"

Fifth Uncle's face darkened, and he said, "I understand. I'll take you back now to the ancestral hall to beg forgiveness from our ancestors."

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved instantly, his palm unleashing a sound like wind and thunder, causing the void to tremble and an invisible wave to spread across the heavens and earth. Everyone affected felt their Qi and Blood and qi churning within them, making it difficult to control themselves. However, this was only the effect of the residual force; the vast majority of the power was directed at Yuezheng Qiong. At the same time, Uncle Wu moved with his palm, reaching out to grab the other man's neck, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

However, Yuezheng Qiong simply extended a finger, conjuring an invisible sound barrier that blocked all his attacks.

"Fifth Uncle, I remember your philosophy is that strength is more important than music, and only powerful martial arts can guarantee the prosperity of the Lineage. Therefore, only a martial arts expert can assume the position of family head. It seems to make sense. Well then, I have something to say to you—you are too weak."

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful aura erupted from Yuezheng Qiong's body, far surpassing that of ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivators. However, it appeared extremely chaotic, as if it were pieced together from the auras of countless people. Regardless, her cultivation level was genuine.

Ripples spread through the air, and the No-Void Sound Barrier, originally used for defense, was transformed into an offensive barrier. Its area was forcibly compressed, becoming the size of a fist. Like a spring rebounding, strong vibrations penetrated along Uncle Wu's arm.

Although Fifth Uncle tried to defend himself, his cultivation Cultivation Method was no secret to Yuezheng Qiong. All his resistance was crushed, and he was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow, spitting blood and crashing into the mountain wall. His fate was unknown.

Chapter 470 Breakup

With a single move, he severely injured a Spirit Transformation expert. While this was partly due to his familiarity with the opponent's Cultivation Body, it was enough to prove that Yuezheng Qiong was no ordinary person.
