Divine ability: Sun Moon Wheel Artifact: Celestial Array Dao Brush (Approaching Dao Realm artifact) Fortune: Green
"Heh!"
"Still a pair of twins!"
Hua Yunfei sneered inwardly. Just as expected, Nether Ghost Master truly had someone backing him.
The one behind him was the Sun Moon Divine Church, one of the Eastern Region's two great Ultimate Sacred Grounds!
A supreme faction that possessed an Ultimate Emperor Armament!
With them to lean on, Nether Ghost Master's spine had stiffened. Joining forces with the Blood Demon Clan, he planned to swallow the Backer Sect in one fell swoop.
Hua Yunfei swept his gaze across everyone in the sky, then looked at Nether Ghost Master. "Are all your people here?"
Nether Ghost Master forced out a smile and said arrogantly, "They're all here. The Backer Sect's day of death has arrived!"
"Since they're all here, that makes things easy!"
Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren exchanged smiles, then both looked toward the depths of the Backer Sect.
That was where the Backer Sect's Ancestral Land lay!
Further within was the Ancestral Tomb, where all the fallen seniors of the Backer Sect were buried.
"There's a good show to watch!"
"Hehe, at my age, this old man is actually feeling his blood boil again!"
"Hahaha, so is this old man!"
The elders' faces were flushed with excitement. All of them turned in unison to look toward the Ancestral Land behind Backer Peak.
"What's going on?"
Nether Ghost Master and the Nether Ghost Palace experts looked at one another, utterly baffled.
Had the Backer Sect's elders been frightened senseless? Why were they laughing when death was at their doorstep?
"Something's wrong!"
An elder followed Hua Yunfei's gaze, and his face immediately filled with horror.
From the depths of the Ancestral Land behind Backer Peak, heaven-shaking Dao laws suddenly surged skyward, while a terrifying pressure came crashing down like the sky itself!
In an instant, every Nether Ghost Palace and Blood Demon Clan expert below the Celestial Realm was crushed flat onto the ground.
No matter how they struggled, they could not rise!
Nether Ghost Master's teeth chattered, while the remaining Celestial Realm experts felt chills race down their backs.
This pressure... belonged to an Approaching Dao Realm expert!
"Little ghost, do you still recognize this old man?"
From the depths of the Ancestral Land, a figure shot into the heavens. His aura was earth-shaking, and every word and gesture carried Dao laws of their own.
A few simple words instantly sent Nether Ghost Master reeling back.
He staggered back nine steps before finally failing to hold it in, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Raising his head, he stared at the newcomer in horror.
"Xuancheng Daoren! Didn't you pass away three hundred years ago?"
Xuancheng Daoren wore a green robe and held a three-foot azure blade.
He landed in the center of the crowd, his expression calm as he slowly said, "And you believed something meant to fool children?"
Nether Ghost Master: "..."
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Xuancheng!"
"Greetings, Martial Granduncle Xuancheng!"
Including Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren, all the elders and disciples bowed respectfully.
"Rise. No need for such formality."
Xuancheng Daoren chuckled, like a kind and benevolent elder.
Hua Yunfei smiled as he glanced at Nether Ghost Master, whose expression had turned ugly.
The Backer Sect ran far deeper than you imagined!
Even he did not know just how much the Backer Sect had hidden away!
Behind them, the two gray-robed old men who had been resting with their eyes closed abruptly opened them. Their expressions were grave as they looked at Xuancheng Daoren, seemingly wanting to speak but stopping themselves.
Xuancheng Daoren looked at the two of them. "Sun Moon Divine Church's Li Qingchang and Li Qingping, have you both been well?"
The three were old acquaintances, figures from the same era.
Li Qingchang wore a strange expression. "I never expected that my brother and I, despite possessing the resources of a Sacred Ground, would still fall so far behind you in cultivation!"
"Hehe, merely talent."
Xuancheng Daoren waved a hand. "Are you leaving on your own, or do you need me to see you out?"
The brothers exchanged a glance, but a faint smile appeared on their faces.
"Xuancheng, although you have become an Approaching Dao Realm expert, today, with only you alone, I fear you still cannot protect the Backer Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nether Ghost Master took out another bag at their signal.
Three figures immediately rushed out from within.
At once, the terrifying aura of the Approaching Dao Realm grew even more violent between heaven and earth.
The Backer Sect elders led their disciples far away.
Even Hua Yunfei and Xiaxuan Zhenren had no choice but to leave the range of the four Approaching Dao Realm experts' auras!
Four Approaching Dao Realm experts!
Li Qingping chuckled. "Xuancheng, how is it? Are you satisfied with this grand gift?"
Xuancheng Daoren narrowed his eyes. Of the three before him, he knew two of them.
One was a black-robed old man—the Nether Ghost Palace's ancestor and Nether Ghost Master's master, Gui Xuan Daoren!
The other was Li Chunxiao of the Sun Moon Divine Church, father of the Li Qingchang brothers!
The last one had a humanoid form, but his entire body was blood-red. He had a pair of bull horns, sword-like fangs, and a vicious appearance.
An Approaching Dao Realm expert of the Blood Demon Clan!
"Xuancheng, who would have thought? You're not dead yet!"
Gui Xuan Daoren sneered.
"If you're not dead, then naturally I can't be dead either!"
Xuancheng Daoren snorted coldly, his expression turning grave.
One against three—he had no certainty of victory!
The Approaching Dao Realm Blood Demon spoke disdainfully. "A mere first-level Approaching Dao Realm cultivator. This venerable one can kill you with a single raised hand!"
"That's right!"
"Xuancheng brat, though you may be more outstanding than my two sons, today, you will surely die!"
Li Chunxiao took out a Devil Subduing Pestle. It was a top-tier Approaching Dao Realm artifact with terrifying power.
He had once wielded the Devil Subduing Pestle to suppress and kill an existence at the fourth level of the Approaching Dao Realm!
At that time, his cultivation had only been at the third level of the Approaching Dao Realm!
Among the three, Li Chunxiao was the strongest, having already reached the fifth level of the Approaching Dao Realm!
Gui Xuan Daoren and the Blood Demon were both at the fourth level of the Approaching Dao Realm.
Yet Xuancheng Daoren was only at the first level of the Approaching Dao Realm, completely at a disadvantage.
"Enough nonsense. This venerable one will kill first!"
The Blood Demon could no longer restrain the killing intent in his heart. He wanted to kill Xuancheng Daoren and devour his blood.
He was already at the peak of the fourth level of the Approaching Dao Realm. If he devoured Xuancheng Daoren's blood, he would surely break through to the fifth level!
The Blood Demon drew a blood-red saber dozens of meters long and viciously cleaved it down at Xuancheng Daoren. Powerful Dao laws instantly tore open space!
Facing the Blood Demon, whose realm surpassed his by three levels, Xuancheng Daoren remained very calm.
He slowly swung his sword.
In that instant, the Dao laws of swordsmanship tore apart heaven and earth!
Sword light flashed!
Splurt!
