The Sect Masters of various sects scanned the black-robed martial artists surrounding them with grim faces. These were Xiantian realm experts. Finally, their gazes turned to the sky.
In their taut pupils, an endless undertone of panic was evident.
The Black Underworld Sect's undertaking this time was truly too grand.
Let alone the five Grandmasters whose mere auras made it difficult to breathe.
Even if dozens of Xiantian experts attacked, those present couldn't block them.
Excluding a few hidden Grandmaster old monsters.
The Misty Sect's disciples, along with the many high-level members from various sects who came to attend the ceremony, already represented a significant portion of Cangzhou's top combat strength.
The Moon Sword Sect Master glanced back, his gaze falling on several middle-aged men in brocade robes, his eyes filled with worry.
If, on this trip, the Black Underworld Sect truly annihilated them all...
Then it would likely not be difficult for the Black Underworld Sect to conquer Cangzhou.
Besides the high-level members of Cangzhou's major sects, many from secular forces had also come.
After all, the Misty Sect was the foremost power in Cangzhou, and all circles in Cangzhou were happy to give them face.
The General who commanded the troops in Cangzhou and the Prefect who governed Cangzhou were both present...
At this moment, the old man with white hair and a youthful face in the sky focused his gaze on Chu Feng, saying somewhat flippantly:
"Isn't this person's realm said to be indescribable?"
"Why the rush to leave?"
"This Seat is very eager to witness firsthand an expert who surpasses Grandmasters!"
As these teasing words fell, the Xiantian experts behind him all burst into laughter.
However, these words displeased the young man on the training ground.
Xiao Huohuo frowned and shouted at the old man in the sky:
"What the hell are you?"
"You think you're worthy to see my Master make a move?"
With such arrogant words, everyone around, who had been feeling heavy-hearted, turned to look at Xiao Huohuo, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.
Was this kid truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, or had his so-called Master truly fed him some kind of love potion?
That was a Grandmaster!
Even though Xiao Huohuo had just defeated Xu Ling'er, it was merely a squabble among the younger generation.
There were countless people present who were even slightly stronger than Xu Ling'er.
Even Xu Ling'er's Master, the Misty Sect Master Wu Shan, was only at the Xiantian Peak.
Hearing this scolding, the old man in the sky was also somewhat stunned. Before he could even speak, a commotion once again drew his attention.
On the Small Immortal Terrace, a broad-shouldered, thick-waisted Xiantian martial artist, in the instant the people in the sky were stunned, suddenly drew the great saber at his waist and unleashed a blade light.
As the blade light fell, several black-robed martial artists surrounding him collapsed to the ground.
However, the Mountain Gate Sect Master had no intention of pursuing. Instead, he stood up and leaped towards the sky.
But in the next moment, two black shadows shot out, colliding with his flight path.
With a bang, the massive figure folded in mid-air and crashed to the ground.
Two black-robed Xiantian experts pursued their advantage, swords in hand, continuing to attack the Mountain Gate Sect Master.
The moment the Mountain Gate Sect Master moved, the other high-level figures from various forces also scattered in all directions like arrows loosed from a bowstring.
However, there were more people from the Black Underworld Sect. They would intercept them all from every direction!
Blade light and sword shadows flashed continuously below, the space flickering in and out of existence, alternating constantly.
The old man with white hair and a youthful face still had his hands behind his back, watching this scene with a proud, light chuckle:
"Trying to run?"
"As this Seat said, everyone present, one by one, not a single one will escape!"
He glanced at Xiao Huohuo below:
"As for you, kid, this Seat will deal with you properly later."
After speaking, he cast his gaze towards the rear of the towering Main Hall.
Passing through layers of pavilions and corridors, they gathered in a secret room behind a stone door.
Mo Wanli said faintly:
"Aren't the two of you planning to come out yet?"
"If you don't come out soon, your Misty Sect will be razed to the ground."
As the sound waves fell, after a few breaths, a faint sigh suddenly came from afar.
"Sigh..."
The Moon Sword Sect Master repelled a Xiantian expert with a single sword strike and abruptly looked back.
Within his sight, two elders dressed in white robes and with white hair floated into the sky.
The aura emanating from the two elders, the fluctuations of their realms detected by his senses, were weaker than the Black Underworld Sect Leader, but they were still at the same level!
The Moon Sword Sect Master's eyes narrowed further.
Appearing before him were the Supreme Elder and the Old Sect Master of the Misty Sect!
These two were among the few Grandmasters in Cangzhou.
At this moment, they finally stopped hiding and revealed themselves.
However, seeing the two appear, everyone's expression remained calm, showing no sign of relief.
Even the disciples controlled by the black-robed martial artists on the long corridor looked at the two figures with despair in their eyes.
Noisy voices spread through the crowd:
"Why are there only two of them?"
"Two against five... and the aura of our Misty Sect's two seem weaker than the opponents."
The power of a Grandmaster was displayed without reservation, even the internal energy covering their bodies.
The five members of the Black Underworld Sect exuded a sky-piercing malevolent aura, with clouds daring not to approach within a thousand meters.
In comparison, the two Grandmasters of the Misty Sect were significantly weaker.
"It's not just the numbers, the quality is also so much inferior."
"Is my Misty Sect truly finished this time?"
Everyone despondently lowered their heads, no longer having the courage to watch.
Grandmasters, Xiantian experts, and even Houtian realm martial artists.
Excluding those who had entered the Houtian realm, the Black Underworld Sect held a significant advantage in combat strength at every other stage.
The Misty Sect's Old Sect Master and Supreme Elder, suspended in the air, swept their turbid old eyes across the scene and both shook their heads, sighing.
Old Sect Master Yun Xiao spoke with a heavy heart:
"Shan'er. The situation is critical. Later, Brother Lan and I will risk our lives to hold back those five Grandmasters."
"You have peak Xiantian cultivation, the remaining people won't be able to stop you."
"You must take the sect's elites and break through with all your might, leaving a spark of hope for my Misty Sect."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shan's eyes reddened, and he nodded heavily:
"As you command, Master."
With that, he said no more, immediately turned, and extended his large hand.
Five palms opened, and a gust of wind and clouds surged, forcefully grabbing the five First Elders of the sect in the distance, as well as Xu Ling'er, as if they were bound by ropes.
Wu Shan's figure suddenly flew towards the outside of the sect.
"Trying to escape? Did you ask my grandpa?"
In mid-air, one of the five black-robed figures, an old man with sparse hair who had been staring at the situation below, let out a strange laugh and immediately moved his body to intercept Wu Shan.
Suddenly, a giant phantom, a hundred meters in size, shot down from the sky, hacking towards the old man with sparse hair flying in mid-air.
Yun Xiao's aged and resolute voice also echoed through the heavens at this moment:
"If you want to stop them, you'll have to step over my corpse first!"
