Old Ghost Qian Yuan
"Ren Yuanzi, why should we get involved? Wouldn't it be better to let our subordinates handle this?"
Ying Xuanzi stared calmly at Ren Yuanzi, displaying an air of composure.
"I have my reasons for stepping forward. Lin Dong led his men to slaughter all the disciples of my Yuan Sect who participated in the competition, causing a gap in the younger generation of the sect. His sins are heinous and unforgivable. He should be brought back to the Ancestral Court of my Yuan Sect to be punished."
Ren Yuanzi smiled faintly upon hearing this.
"Absurd! The Sect Competition is Life and Death- Life and Death struggle, where each member bears the consequences of their actions. These rules were jointly established by our Eight Great Super Sects back then. Do you intend to oppose our collective decision?!"
Ying Xuanzi was a master strategist; he not only effortlessly passed the buck back but also bound the other Six Great Sects to his side.
"Rules are meant to be broken; when you have the strength, you can tear them down."
At this point, a mocking look suddenly appeared on Ren Yuanzi's fair face. "As for the matter of the eight major factions jointly formulating this, do you think the other six families would dare to oppose my Yuan Sect? Protecting themselves is what they are best at, and I saw that a hundred years ago."
"You..."
A flash of anger crossed Ying Xuanzi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "So you're determined to break the rules and take Lin Dong away?"
"Of course, Lin Dong must return to the sect with me today, or I will not give up."
Ren Yuanzi couldn't help but show a smug look on his face. In his view, this was Ying Xuanzi, who always sought stability, planning to once again submit to the power of the Yuan Sect, just like a hundred years ago.
"A hundred years ago, my forbearance caused the Dao Sect to lose an extremely outstanding disciple forever. A hundred years later, am I going to stand by and watch yet another outstanding disciple fall into the hands of your Yuan Sect? Let me tell you: Absolutely not!"
Ying Xuanzi looked at Ren Yuanzi and solemnly said, word by word.
Although his tone was calm, anyone could hear the astonishing determination and strength hidden within it.
"Ying Xuanzi, are you serious? Have you thought about the consequences of provoking our Yuan Sect?"
The smile on Ren Yuanzi's face quietly faded, replaced by a hint of gloom.
"Of course I've thought about it. I've thought about it countless times over the past century."
A hint of mockery flashed across Ying Xuanzi's eyes, and he smiled meaningfully.
"How dare you, Ying Xuanzi..."
Ren Yuanzi also understood the meaning behind the words, frowned and was about to rebuke them.
"Hehe, Ying Xuanzi, you're still too impulsive. Calm down."
As the chuckle faded, two figures appeared strangely beside Ren Yuanzi, causing a large area of space to violently distort and tremble, and the Origin Energy to boil in worship.
A person dressed in a black robe, with skin as clear as jade, long black hair casually draped over his shoulders, and a pair of slender hands hanging outside that looked exceptionally pale, even somewhat eerie.
A man dressed in white robes had a rather ordinary face, but his eyes displayed an eerie blend of black and white, as striking as the black sun on the Yuan Sect emblem, as if yin and yang were rising and falling, the sun and moon were merging, and he possessed a mysterious fluctuation that could see through Life and Death.
As soon as the latter appeared, Ren Yuanzi suppressed his anger and rushed to his side, the three of them vaguely resembling the leader.
The Three Great Yuan Gate Giants have arrived!
"So it's the two of you. Now the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants are all here." Ying Xuanzi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the three whose auras were faintly connected.
"Ying Xuanzi, I advise you not to act rashly. After all, if the three of us join forces and capture you directly, the Dao Sect will truly lose face and will no longer be able to stand in the Eastern Xuan Region."
"Think about the thousand-year-old lineage of the Dao Sect, think about the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Dao Sect, think about the Dao Sect's..."
The white-robed man who led the three seemed not to have heard Ying Xuanzi's sarcastic remarks; instead, his words contained a hint of threat.
"Sect Master Tian Yuanzi, you are mistaken."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a resolute denial rang out.
The space suddenly twisted and rippled, and a Blue-robed Old Man, standing with his hands behind his back, slowly walked out from the spatial rift.
Chen Zhen and the others were overjoyed at the sight, while the thousands of powerful figures in the Demon City were completely dumbfounded. Compared to the shock of Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi's appearance earlier, everyone stared blankly at the old figure, wondering who this person was.
"Grand Elder, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to join Ying Xuanzi in his antics today."
Then, the Supreme Sect Master Ying Xuanzi of the Dao Sect bowed to the newcomer.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing. Let me make a fuss. If this old body of mine doesn't get out and about, it'll really be time to go to the grave."
The white-haired, Blue-robed Old Man in a blue robe waved his hand with a smile.
"Old Ghost Qian, I didn't expect you to still be alive? And you even successfully took that step and reached the same level as us."
Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the old man, his fair face showing no emotion.
Although the Blue-robed Old Man had no trace of Origin Energy, he was faintly surrounded by an extremely mysterious fluctuation. The fluctuation was extremely faint, yet it seemed to be Reincarnation, making people unable to resist immersing themselves in it.
Samsara Stage expert! This must be Samsara Stage expert who has surpassed the Life and Death Mysterious Stage!
With Life Force in one hand and death in the other, the Life and Death Power are completely intertwined. To transcend this further and see through Life and Death is to achieve the cycle of rebirth.
This level already places them among the top super-strong individuals at the pinnacle of the Eastern Xuan Region.
"Back then, when my lifespan was nearing its end, I simply let go of Life and Death and launched an attack on the Samsara Stage. Unexpectedly, because of that fearless state of mind, I broke through the cycle of Life and Death and death and entered the Reincarnation Realm by virtue of the misfortune."
"It is all thanks to the blessings of my Dao Sect ancestors, oh, and also to the blessings of you fellow Daoists from the Eastern Xuan Region of the Yuan Sect."
"Old Ghost Qian," or rather, the Blue-robed Old Man, stroked his beard and chuckled.
Qian Yuan is the highest -Grand Elder currently existing in the Dao Sect. He is known as the Grand Elder or Old Ghost Qian and is a Samsara Stage expert.
The Dao Sect Master's fellow disciples were said to have lived for at least a thousand years. Before disappearing, they were Peak Death Profound Stage. The name of Old Monster Qian Yuan once resounded throughout the Eastern Xuan Region, but there has been no news of him for hundreds of years.
It was once speculated that he was trapped at the Peak Death Profound Stage, his lifespan exhausted, and he had passed away. Unexpectedly, he had secretly entered the Samsara Stage and had lived a secluded life ever since.
If it weren't for today's situation that brought him to the forefront, the world would never have known that he was still alive, let alone that the Dao Sect had quietly gained a giant at the Samsara Stage, increasing the number of top giants from one to two, instantly surpassing the other Six Great Sects.
From today onwards, the strength of the Dao Sect will likely leap from the middle of the Eight Great Super Sects to second place below the Yuan Sect, squeezing out the original Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace.
Silent until it speaks, then it astounds! How magnificent!
"So it was him..."
At this point, the older generation of powerful figures in the Demon City all showed thoughtful expressions.
After a few slight commotions, most of the powerful figures in the Demon City soon learned the identity and origin of the Blue-robed Old Man, and couldn't help but secretly praise him: the Dao Sect is indeed blessed with longevity, and even such a crisis can be resolved.
