Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren took control of the Sect Protection Array and raised two fingers in unison.
At once, the lightning above Nether Ghost Master's head blazed with dazzling light. With a thunderous boom, it unleashed a bolt of lightning a hundred meters thick.
Carrying terrifying destructive power, the lightning was like a thunder dragon as it instantly appeared above Nether Ghost Master and pierced through the crown of his head!
"Ah..."
Nether Ghost Master threw back his head and screamed. Even the black chainmail he wore had been struck smoking.
But soon...
"Hahahaha!"
Nether Ghost Master, who had been screaming, suddenly burst into laughter. A treasure lamp artifact appeared in his hand, and the instant the lightning touched him, it vanished into ash and smoke!
"What?"
"What kind of artifact is that?"
"The attack of a low-grade Saint-tier Sect Protection Array actually failed!"
The elders were greatly alarmed and could no longer remain calm.
Hua Yunfei narrowed his eyes. This was...
Xiaxuan Zhenren became cautious once more. With a wave of his hand, he cast a defensive spell over the many disciples, guarding against any unforeseen mishap!
"Didn't expect that, did you?"
Holding the treasure lamp artifact, Nether Ghost Master wore a mocking expression. His stiff face was crammed with ridicule. "You know how to put on an act, but I'm even better at it! It's just acting. When I was using such tricks, you were still running around in crotchless pants! Hmph!"
As his words fell, Nether Ghost Master suddenly blew on the lamp's wick.
At once, towering flames erupted.
The flames actually came in three colors—white, yellow, and red—and waves of heat billowed forth!
The flames pounced upon the Sect Protection Array and, in an instant, dismantled the entire array!
"This..."
Xiaxuan Zhenren was stunned.
All the elders and disciples were dumbstruck!
What kind of artifact was this?
It could actually dismantle a low-grade Saint-tier Sect Protection Array in an instant!
"So what if it's low-grade Saint-tier? Before my artifact, it is all beneath contempt!"
Nether Ghost Master sneered, sweeping his gaze across everyone's expressions before nodding in satisfaction.
This treasure borrowed from the Sun Moon Divine Church was indeed useful.
He had originally intended to use it to break open Backer Sect's Sect Protection Array.
But when he saw that Backer Sect had left its gates wide open and was completely defenseless, a plan sprang into his mind, and he swaggered right in.
He had thought he would not need it, but who would have known that Backer Sect's Sect Protection Array possessed offensive power?
That was why he had taken it out and shattered Backer Sect's Sect Protection Array!
"Your artifact? I'm afraid that may not be the case!"
Hua Yunfei remained calm and chuckled. "Could it be that you borrowed a treasure from some sacred-land-level force?"
Nether Ghost Master narrowed his eyes. "Are you looking down on Nether Ghost Palace?"
"I certainly am." Hua Yunfei nodded frankly.
"Very well. I'd like to see how long you can keep talking tough!"
"Now that the Sect Protection Array has been broken, Backer Sect's great momentum is gone. There is no need for you all to hide anymore. Come out!"
With a wave of Nether Ghost Master's hand, he took out a bag and opened its mouth. In an instant, nearly a hundred figures appeared all around them!
This was an artifact capable of storing living beings!
It contained the many experts of Nether Ghost Palace and other forces!
"No wonder he dared to charge into our sect alone with such swagger!"
The elders narrowed their eyes as they stared at those who had appeared.
Many of these people were familiar to them.
Having dealt with Nether Ghost Palace for so many years, they recognized nearly all those at the elder level.
There were also some they did not recognize.
Such as the two gray-robed old men standing beside Nether Ghost Master.
Their expressions were calm, and their auras were powerful!
They were actually not much weaker than Nether Ghost Master!
There were also several dozen black-robed figures standing two or three meters tall. Their bodies were enormous, their oppressive presence overwhelming. No one knew what kind of monsters were hidden beneath those black robes!
"Hehehe!"
"I have finally come out. So this is Backer Sect? From now on, it will be the territory of the Blood Demon Clan!"
A sinister laugh came from beneath the black robe of the largest figure. His voice was piercing and chilling.
"Blood Demon Clan!"
Xiaxuan Zhenren was startled. The Sect Leader and the others had gone to wipe out the Blood Demon Clan, yet they could still spare manpower to deal with Backer Sect!
"Hehe, they've finally come out. This old man has been waiting until his arms went sore!"
The many elders of Nether Ghost Palace sneered as they took out their artifacts and circulated their divine abilities, preparing to swallow Backer Sect whole.
The two gray-robed old men beside Nether Ghost Master remained expressionless as they slowly retreated behind the crowd, showing no intention of taking part.
Nether Ghost Master said, "You two, this will be over soon. When the time comes, we will certainly split the spoils evenly with you."
"Hurry it up."
The two gray-robed old men said no more. They simply stood in the air and closed their eyes to rest.
Everything around them seemed to have nothing whatsoever to do with them.
Hua Yunfei took in this entire scene.
Though the situation was clearly grim, the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
Not only him—Xiaxuan Zhenren and all the elders revealed smiles once more!
Impossible! Absolutely Impossible
The identities of the two gray-robed old men were nowhere to hide in Hua Yunfei's eyes.
With a single glance, he saw through all their information.
