The Ancestral Talisman Reappears
Upon hearing this, Ren Yuanzi's expression shifted, becoming uncertain. For a moment, he was speechless. Anyone who dared to speak of annihilating their Yuan Sect was either a fool or an unparalleled expert, and he couldn't fathom the strength of this person. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
"Indeed, our Yuan Sect may have been at fault in today's events. We will not pursue the matter of the three elders further. As for the compensation for Wang Jie, that still needs to be discussed. Would you please withdraw for now?"
As Ren Yuanzi's expression changed, a sound suddenly rang out in the sky, and then everyone saw the space in the sky distort again, and two figures slowly emerged.
Two figures appeared. One was dressed in a black robe with long black hair cascading down his back. His hands, which protruded from his sleeves, appeared somewhat pale, but his face was as smooth and warm as jade, and his eyes were like stars, as if they possessed the power to see through life and death.
The person in front of him was dressed in a white robe with fair skin. He looked quite ordinary, but his eyes were black and white, like the intersection of yin and yang, exuding mystery.
As soon as these two figures appeared, everyone could clearly feel the space around them distorting violently, indicating that they were no ordinary people.
"Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi, and the three leaders of the Yuan Sect have all appeared!"
Below, a sudden burst of gasps erupted as everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. These top experts, who were usually rarely seen in the Eastern Xuan Region, had suddenly appeared one after another.
Xiao Ming looked at them and praised them slightly, "It's good that you can recognize your mistakes. However, my decision to destroy your Yuan Sect today has nothing to do with anyone else. Do you know the King Tian Ming?"
"I don't know him." Ren Yuanzi shook her head decisively.
"The affairs of my Eastern Xuan Region are for the experts of my Eastern Xuan Region to handle. Your interference is excessive. Even if you bring up a so-called King Tian Ming, it is still unacceptable."
"Oh well."
Looking at the three of them from the sky, Xiao Ming waved his sleeve, and a golden light burst out from his sleeve, then transformed into a Golden Lightning in front of him!
Even if you don't know me, I'll still wipe out traitors like you.
Golden Lightning streaked out without any astonishing fluctuations, but at that moment, Ren Yuanzi's child suddenly shrank back, a sense of extreme danger surging into his heart.
The Three Yuan Gate Giants naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their doom. They channeled all their Yuan Power, stretched out their large hands, and unleashed a powerful attack, which was accompanied by an unusually dense aura of Reincarnation.
All three of them were actually experts at the Reincarnation Realm!
Unfortunately, their Yuan Power Light had barely condensed when it was shattered by the Golden Lightning. In just a moment of stalemate, all three figures were sent flying.
The three who had been knocked away regained their footing, staring at Xiao Ming with shocked expressions. They spat out a mouthful of blood, their Aura weakened.
"These are the Three Yuan Gate Giants, the strongest experts in the Eastern Xuan Region. The three of them together swept through the Eastern Xuan Region, and they were defeated by a single finger."
"This person must be at the very top of the world, otherwise how could they be so strong? With someone like this around, who in the Dao Sect could possibly mess with them!"
"What level is this person at? To defeat the Three Palm Masters of the Yuan Sect with a single finger, even the Reincarnation Realm couldn't do that. Those three giants just now actually seemed to have some resemblance to the Reincarnation Realm. Could they be beings above the Reincarnation Realm?"
More and more powerful figures gathered Yuan Sect to watch, discussing the matter animatedly. The fact that the Three Palm Masters of the Yuan Sect had been defeated with a single finger strike, and even if Undying, they would be severely injured, was something no one had anticipated. Everyone could imagine that Xiao Ming was strong, but no one expected him to be this strong.
"This guy is definitely an expert who has survived at least two cycles of Reincarnation Tribulation!"
Tian Yuanzi looked at Xiao Ming with deep fear on his face. Just now, they were completely powerless to fight back against the opponent's attack!
"It looks like things won't end well today. We can't hold back anymore. Let that guy out so we can deal with him together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Yuanzi waved his sleeve lightly, and then the space around him began to twist rapidly. Amidst the surging black mist, a figure seemed to slowly emerge from that space.
Such commotion was naturally noticed by Xiao Ming and the others. From that distorted space, they sensed an exceptionally strange fluctuation.
Rustle.
With a single foot stepping out of the distorted space, the black mist around his body gradually faded away, revealing a slender figure. He was dressed in a black robe, his entire body shrouded in shadow.
"This fluctuation... is from the Space Ancestral Talisman."
Xiao Ming's eyes flickered slightly. Upon hearing the words "Space Ancestral Talisman," Ying Huanhuan and Qing Tan beside him were startled. Then, they saw a figure silently appear in the space in front of him. With a grab of his hand, the space distorted violently, and the invisible space seemed to solidify under his palm.
"Whoosh~~~"
Without a flick of his finger, Xiao Ming sent the figure flying. The figure seemed completely unharmed, taking another step in mid-air and reappearing strangely in front of Xiao Ming.
He pointed again, his fingertip seemingly piercing through space, aiming straight for Xiao Ming's forehead. The attack was extremely ruthless; his silver-glowing fingertip was like a sharp sword, but it stopped three feet away from Xiao Ming, leaving him Hovering Mid-air, unable to advance or retreat.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew through the space, lifting the cloak of the dark figure and revealing a face beneath it—a handsome young face with a pale complexion.
"Wait, don't do it."
A hurried voice suddenly came from the sky behind them. Ying Xuanzi rushed over, his face deathly pale. His finger trembled as he pointed at the figure, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You... you... Zhou Tong, you're still alive?! How is that possible...?"
Ying Xuanzi's voice was full of disbelief, and Ying Huanhuan and Wang Jie below were shocked to hear this. The person in front of them was actually Zhou Tong, the most outstanding disciple of the Dao Sect Desolate Hall a hundred years ago, who had comprehended the Great Desolate Scripture.
"It's Zhou Tong!"
"What's going on? Wasn't Zhou Tong supposed to have died at the hands of the Yuan Sect long ago?"
"Yuan Sect clearly turned people into puppets and then released false information, but this is going too far."
"Although Zhou Tong's attack on the Yuan Sect was impolite, as fellow forces in the Eastern Xuan Region, killing someone was already excessive, let alone turning them into a puppet."
The powerful figures outside the Yuan Sect Mountain Gate were discussing among themselves. These powerful figures, who had come from all directions, did not look too good upon seeing the scene before them.
What happened to Zhou Tong back then is actually quite similar to what happened to Wang Jie today. Everyone knows that it was probably Yuan Sect who did something underhanded, forcing them to come to their doorstep. However, Dao Sect couldn't produce any evidence, so Zhou Tong was killed when he came to their doorstep. He could only suffer in silence.
Killing people is already excessive, but turning them into puppets is a completely different matter. Where is the Yuan Sect now acting as the leader of the righteous path in the Eastern Xuan Region?
Just imagine, if the Yuan Sect can scheme and then "openly and legitimately" seize and control the geniuses of the Dao Sect, could they also use the same methods to deal with the geniuses of their own sect? The thought is chilling.
Ying Xuanzi's body trembled incessantly, and the expression in his eyes changed rapidly, clearly indicating that he was quite unsettled at this moment, and the events before him had given him a great shock.
"Master!"
Zhou Tong stared at Ying Xuanzi for a long time. Then, a gentle breeze blew, and his long hair fluttered. Tears rolled down his handsome face, and his body trembled violently as if he were struggling with something. A hoarse voice came out of his mouth.
That hoarse voice carried an overwhelming sense of despair.
Ying Xuanzi froze, staring at the struggling Zhou Tong. The next moment, his ferocious gaze suddenly turned to Tian Yuanzi, and he roared, "You beasts, how dare you do such a thing!"
Tian Yuanzi frowned slightly as he glanced at Zhou Tong, snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Tong's struggling body slowly froze. The emotions that had just appeared on his face gradually faded away, leaving him like a walking corpse whose mind had been controlled.
"Your disciple's mental fortitude is indeed rare. Despite enduring a century of erosion, he has still managed to retain a sliver of clarity. Heh, actually, I haven't done anything special. I just couldn't bear to part with such a promising talent, so I helped him change his loyalty from the Dao Sect to our Yuan Sect. Now, let him have some fun with you all."
After saying that, Tian Yuanzi led Ren Yuanzi and they broke through space to leave this place. Xiao Ming saw that they were only returning to a location within the Yuan Sect and did not stop them.
Ying Xuanzi was furious, his face contorted in rage. He never imagined that his prized disciple, whom he regarded as his own son, would suffer such torment from the Yuan Sect for a hundred years!
In an attempt to prevent the Three Giants from leaving, Zhou Tong mysteriously broke free of the spatial barrier and appeared behind Ying Xuanzi like a ghost. His palm flashed with silver light, like an extremely sharp spatial blade, and he fiercely stabbed at Ying Xuanzi. Ying Xuanzi could only react hastily, but it was clearly too late.
"Father!"
When Ying Huanhuan was standing next to Xiao Ming, saw that Ying Xuanzi had fallen into danger in such a short time, her expression changed drastically.
Laugh!
Just as the silver-glowing blade was about to strike Ying Xuanzi's forehead, Xiao Ming pointed a finger, and the spatial blade instantly shattered, the attack being blocked. A golden lightning bolt then coiled around him, immobilizing him.
"The Space Ancestral Talisman is indeed miraculous; it can actually bypass the space I can arbitrarily fix. However, once you're entangled by the Nine Profound Golden Dragon, you can't escape."
Xiao Ming looked at Zhou Tong, who was still roaring even though he was frozen in place, and said.
"Teacher, you're the best! Can you save Senior Brother Zhou Tong?" Ying Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her father's crisis was over. She hugged Xiao Ming's arm and started to act coquettishly.
Every era has its own legends, and clearly, a hundred years ago, Zhou Tong was a legend within the Dao Sect. He comprehended the profound Great Desolate Scripture and led the Dao Sect disciples to fiercely compete with the Yuan Sect at the Sect Assembly.
In the end, he committed suicide alone at the Yuan Sect. Although he perished, he left a distinguished mark on the Eastern Xuan Region. His name will be forever etched in the hearts of all Dao Sect disciples.
Ying Huanhuan Ying Huanhuan grew up in such an environment, so she naturally felt sorry for Zhou Tong's current situation.
"That's easy."
Xiao Ming smiled, and after saying this, he directly pushed out one hand, and a Seven-colored Flame enveloped Zhou Tong, while countless black wisps burst out from his body.
Amidst the raging flames, Zhou Tong's body trembled, and the black robe on his body turned to ash and vanished. At this moment, gasps of horror erupted from the onlookers.
Beneath the black robe was not the flesh and blood body everyone imagined, but a black skeleton. On that skeleton were covered with dense, eerie black patterns. These Demonic Markings wrapped around Zhou Tong's bones layer by layer, like maggots clinging to bones, impossible to erase.
Within the black bones, one could see the still-beating internal organs, which were also completely black, a sign that they had been thoroughly corrupted by the Otherworldly Demonic Qi.
Inside Zhou Tong's chest cavity, a black heart beat gently at an extremely slow pace, exuding endless evil.
No one could have imagined that such a horrifying scene would be hidden beneath that intact head.
Within Zhou Tong's strange body, one can see intricate meridians, and within those meridians, one can see silver light surging—the power of the Space Ancestral Talisman.
Looking at Zhou Tong's body, only his meridians have not yet been eroded by Demonic Qi, which is probably the main reason why he can still use the power of the Space Ancestral Talisman.
Black Demonic Markings intertwined within Zhou Tong's body, vaguely forming an extremely evil demonic lock. It was this demonic lock that had harmed Zhou Tong to this state.
"Master, what is this thing? It feels so evil..."
Looking at the black patterns, Qing Tan felt a sense of unease. This evil and gloomy Aura seemed to be the mortal enemy of all living beings.
"This is the Demonic Emperor Lock, a technique created by the patriarch of the Demonic Race Clan Leader. Once this thing is applied to the body, the person's mind will be gradually eroded, and their Divine Soul will be sealed within this body, unable to escape for eternity, and even Reincarnation will be impossible."
Of course, the Otherworldly Demon Lock before me was only created by the Demonic King and is incomplete, but it is enough to show that the Yuan Sect colluded with the Otherworldly Demons; otherwise, why would I have wiped out his entire sect?
"These beasts actually dared to collude with the Otherworldly Demons!"
Among the crowd were many powerful individuals who had inherited their knowledge from Ancient Times and had some understanding of the Demonic Race. Through discussion, everyone naturally realized how evil Yuan Sect's methods were, and someone immediately erupted in protest.
"Ah... Tian Yuanzi, get out here right now!"
Ying Xuanzi's anger, suppressed for a hundred years, finally erupted. He unleashed Sea of Yuan Power with a single palm strike, heading towards the Yuan Sect's mountain gate, intending to find Tian Yuanzi and the other two to vent his rage.
"Boom..."
Ying Xuanzi's palm strike shattered the Yuan Sect Mountain Gate, causing countless Yuan Sect disciples to scream in agony. The disciples and elders lay dead everywhere, but none of the Three Palm Masters of the Yuan Sect stepped forward, allowing Ying Xuanzi to slaughter these Yuan Sect members at will.
