Traitorous Senior Brother
Zhang Yang earnestly urged Emperor Cloud Soaring, Lu Bingnian, not expecting that the emperor had already decided to pledge allegiance to the Langya Sacred Land.
He could barely accept being insulted by the Azure Cloud Sect.
However, wouldn't aligning with forces on other continents significantly weaken the power of the Azure Cloud Continent?
Most importantly, if the Langya Sacred Land were to attack Azure Cloud Sect one day, the Cloud Soaring Empire would certainly be its pawn.
Despite being from the Azure Cloud Continent, they made such a decision... In an instant, Zhang Yang felt a surge of murderous intent.
He stared at Lu Bingnian: "I'd like to see what gave you such audacity, the confidence to do such a thing."
"Take him down!" Lu Bingnian decisively ordered those around him.
Lu Qian felt a chill run down his spine; he knew he was doomed.
He hurriedly looked up and shouted, "Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
However, it was too late for him to stop them. The other three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators unleashed their Law Treasure and attacked Zhang Yang and Cang Song.
Cang Song stood calmly in place, showing no intention of making a move. He wanted to see how Zhang Yang would respond.
The three Nascent Soul Realm's Dao techniques swept towards Zhang Yang as if ignoring Cang Song.
Zhang Yang smiled coldly, and the Immortal-Binding Rope flew out towards a Nascent Soul Realm. At the same time, the Heavenly Net swept towards another Nascent Soul Realm.
As for himself, he was clad in Radiant Armor, facing the Nascent Soul Realm.
With the Radiant Armor protecting him, he didn't need to worry about defense at all; he could just go all out to deal with the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Flash Technique!"
A dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the hall, catching everyone off guard. They felt a sudden darkness before their eyes and could see nothing at all.
However, cultivators still possess Spiritual Sense to perceive their surroundings. The Nascent Soul Realm hurriedly extended their Spiritual Sense to automatically explore their surroundings.
They could indeed sense the fluctuations in the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, but they were still not as agile as usual and could only confront the various Daoist techniques that Zhang Yang.
"Gravity Technique!"
Everyone felt a sudden heaviness, as if they were carrying several people on their backs. The cultivators were still mobilizing the Power of Principle to resist, while the emperor, a mere mortal, knelt down.
"Lightning Technique!"
A ball of lightning rolled rapidly toward the Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"Chain Fireballs!"
Dozens of fireballs flew in a row, sweeping towards the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Air Burst Technique!"
The surrounding air suddenly contracted, then exploded violently, creating a massive shockwave.
"The Tiger Roar Through the Forests!"
A massive sound wave spread out in layers, causing everyone in its path to tremble violently, even cultivators. As for Emperor Cloud Soaring, he was already suffering from internal bleeding.
One Law Technique after another was continuously unleashed from Zhang Yang's hands.
By the time the Nascent Soul Realm on the other side finally regained his sight, his body had been attacked by countless Law Techniques.
Although he possessed defensive Law Treasure, with the power of the Cloud Soaring Empire, his robe, which was merely a fifth-grade Law Artifact, had long been shattered by the bombardment of various forces.
The Nascent Soul Realm glared fiercely at Zhang Yang, then collapsed, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The other two Nascent Soul Realm, while not facing a direct impact from Zhang Yang's Daoist techniques, will instead face the Spirit Artifact Immortal-Binding Rope and the Spirit Artifact Heavenly Net.
Moreover, they were also affected by Flash Technique, Gravity Technique, Air Burst Technique, and Sound Wave.
Under such circumstances, both Nascent Soul Realm were captured by the Immortal-Binding Rope and the Heavenly Net.
Three Nascent Soul Realm, all defeated!
"You've been pampered all your life, haven't you ever had a proper fight?" Zhang Yang looked at the three Nascent Soul Realm. "All you know is how to use Law Treasure, and how to bully Golden Core Realm cultivators just because you're of higher cultivation level. Bah, three novices!"
Standing beside Zhang Yang, Cang Song, being at the Dao Integration Realm, was completely unaffected by Zhang Yang's Daoist techniques.
The instant the Flash Technique appeared, he had a thought, and the power of the Principle erased the Light Power he was receiving.
Then, he watched the whole process from the sidelines, looking at Zhang Yang as if he were a monster.
"Your spiritual power is so profound, that's one thing, but what kind of messy Daoist Law Power have you comprehended?" Cang Song looked at Zhang Yang with a bewildered expression. "What kind of Great Dao power are you cultivating?"
Why can't he understand?
Zhang Yang chuckled, "Experience gained through battles, how can it have any fixed magical Law Power?"
He didn't fight the Tiger Demon for nothing; he even stole two of the Tiger Demon's signature moves.
Seeing the emperor coughing up blood on the ground, Zhang Yang walked over, picked him up, and said indifferently, "Is this all the arrogance you've got? Looks like it's nothing special!"
You call the Azure Cloud Sect a joke? I think you're a clown!
The emperor was speechless; he was severely injured and would surely die if he did not receive immediate treatment.
"Please spare His Majesty!" Lu Qian pleaded hastily. "The Cloud Soaring Empire cannot be without His Majesty, otherwise the world will surely descend into chaos."
"He's right, let's release His Majesty the Emperor quickly, my good junior brother!"
An immense pressure emanated from outside the hall, and at the same time, a young man dressed in silver entered, accompanied by voices.
A long banner hangs above the head of the man in silver.
It was this long banner that exuded such powerful pressure.
"Soul-Suppressing Banner!"
Cang Song seeing the banner, Cangsong couldn't help but blurt out.
He took a deep breath and transmitted his thoughts to Zhang Yang Divine Sense: "Boy, this is one of the top Spirit Artifact of your Azure Cloud Sect, almost becoming an Immortal Artifact. I'm not afraid, but to deal with it, I'll have to go all out, which will inevitably expose my identity. However, although the Soul-Suppressing Banner is powerful, I can still take you away without any problem, so I advise you to quit while you're ahead."
Zhang Yang's eyes were fixed on the silver-clad man who entered.
From the silver-clad man's words, he knew that this was Nangong Qiyu Azure Cloud Sect.
As for the Soul-Suppressing Banner, it must have been one of the treasures that Nangong Qiyu took from the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Shameless!" Zhang Yang coldly shouted, "As an elder, you willingly aid and abet evil, bullying the younger generation of the Azure Cloud Sect. If the ancestors of the Azure Cloud Sect knew, they would be ashamed beyond measure!"
Nangong Qiyu looked at Zhang Yang with a leisurely air and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, do you know what's being suppressed underground in the Azure Cloud Sect? If you did, I believe you would make the same choice as me."
Zhang Yang completely ignored Nangong Qiyu's question and coldly continued, "You still have the nerve to betray your country and help the enemy? Where is your face? Where is your sense of shame? If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago."
Nangong Qiyu raised an eyebrow. "Junior brother, isn't it inappropriate to speak to your senior brother like that?"
Zhang Yang suddenly took out the Sect Master Token, activated Sect Master Token, and shouted, "Now, in the name of the Azure Cloud Sect School Leader, I demand that you return to the Azure Cloud Sect!"
Nangong Qiyu chuckled, "Junior Brother, I've discovered you're incredibly naive. Since I chose to leave the Azure Cloud Sect, there's no way I'm going back."
Zhang Yang completely ignored Nangong Qiyu's words and shouted, "Just because he cultivated the Chaotic Soul Art, you're following him? Do you know that although he took the Chaotic Soul Art away, the original Chaotic Soul Art is still in the Azure Cloud Sect? The True Immortal Realm who created the Chaotic Soul Art has long since ascended to the Immortal Realm. If one day he finds out that the master you're following is actually a traitor to the Azure Cloud Sect, what will he think?"
You spent your whole life with him, and he left you to protect the younger generation of the sect. Is this how you repay him?
You are a top-tier Spirit Artifact; even if you don't acknowledge him as your master, what can he do to you?
Therefore, you have forgotten your responsibilities as a member of the Azure Cloud Sect, and this is your betrayal.
Now that you've encountered a successor of the Azure Cloud Sect, are you still going to continue your betrayal?
When you meet your master again someday, how will you answer him?
I can find anyone who cultivates the Chaotic Soul Art for you at any time; that is the true successor of my Azure Cloud Sect.
The person you're following now is nothing but a traitor!
Look at the seniors around me, they've done much better than you.
This is the one that my Azure Cloud Sect truly recognizes and loves.
I hope you can repent and turn over a new leaf, and stop being so foolish, lest you not only regret it for the rest of your life, but one day even meet your demise!
Zhang Yang was eloquent and spoke fluently and fluently.
Standing on the moral high ground, he launched a tirade against the Soul-Suppressing Banner from four aspects: caring for the younger generation, inheriting the legacy of the Azure Cloud Sect, being accompanied by its master, and the betrayal of the Azure Cloud Sect by Nangong Qiyu.
This outburst left the Cang Song beside him dumbfounded.
That kid has a really sharp tongue.
Besides, what's the point of cursing at the Spirit Artifact?
Nangong Qiyu finally understood: Zhang Yang hadn't spoken to him at all from beginning to end; he was talking to the Soul-Suppressing Banner instead.
He said with amusement, "Junior brother, you're so adorably silly... That's my Spirit Artifact. It has already chosen to be my master, don't you understand?"
Zhang Yang suddenly took out one Spirit Artifact after another, even taking back the Immortal-Binding Rope and the Heavenly Net. The Immortal-Refining Cauldron, the Immortal-Binding Rope, the Heavenly Net, the Dragon King Basket, the Radiant Armor, the Restriction-Breaking Banner... each Spirit Artifact was emitting a powerful fluctuation.
Then, Zhang Yang solemnly said to the Soul-Suppressing Banner, "Senior, come back! Here are your companions, here are your fellow cultivators, here are the juniors you must protect, and here are the people you truly must follow. Only here is your final resting place!"
Looking at the numerous Spirit Artifacts, Nangong Qiyu laughed excitedly, "Junior Brother, you've brought me treasures, haven't you? Now that you've brought them, don't go back. I never expected Master to be so generous, giving you so many treasures..."
As he was speaking, the immense pressure emanating from the Soul-Suppressing Banner hanging above his head suddenly began to weaken, becoming smaller and smaller until it completely withdrew its influence.
Nangong Qiyu, who was laughing wildly, suddenly stopped laughing. He stared at the Soul-Suppressing Banner in disbelief.
This is his Spirit Artifact!
They've already launched the attack under his orders, so why haven't they given their own commands and why have they suppressed their movements?
Suddenly, the Soul-Suppressing Banner trembled violently and vanished into thin air.
"No!!! My Soul-Suppressing Banner!!!"
Nangong Qiyu screamed shrilly as he chased after the Soul-Suppressing Banner.
