After Yuan Luozi drove back the Heavenly Ruins Immortal Sect's elders, he swept out a hand. A massive palm print took shape and thundered toward Chu Hansha.
Chu Hansha's expression changed drastically as he watched the palm print descend. "Yuan Luozi, what are you doing?"
"Don't you dare hurt my father!"
Chu Hongjiao stepped in front of Chu Hansha.
Just as the palm was about to strike her, a streak of lightning shot in from afar and shattered the palm print.
The lightning gathered into the figure of an elderly man in purple robes before Chu Hongjiao.
"It's the patriarch! The patriarch has come out of seclusion!"
The crowd stared in astonishment.
He was the patriarch of the Heavenly Ruins Immortal Sect.
The patriarch glared at Yuan Luozi. "Yuan Luozi, you dare try to kill the sect master of the Heavenly Ruins Immortal Sect in front of everyone? Your cultivation hasn't improved over the years, but your nerve certainly has!"
"Chu Hansha has been controlled by a Ghost Path Cultivator! If you don't kill him, he'll bring disaster not only upon the Heavenly Ruins Immortal Sect, but upon the entire Jade Clarity Immortal Realm!" Lu Ren shouted.
"Words alone prove nothing. Show me the evidence!" the patriarch said.
But no sooner had the words left his mouth than a scream rang out.
Everyone saw Chu Hongjiao spin around, produce a dagger, and unleash the power of One Tribulation Transcendence as she drove it into Chu Hansha's brow.
Chu Hansha had never expected Chu Hongjiao to attack him, much less that she was so strong.
His strength had been damaged, and he no longer even possessed Transcendence Realm cultivation.
With a single strike, Chu Hansha collapsed to the ground. He looked at Chu Hongjiao in disbelief.
"Hong Jiao... you..."
Chu Hansha
