As Everyone Knows, I Have Little Lifespan Left

"Yes, we need to think this through carefully. Judging from the situation just now, Kong Mu is the key figure. If we really make a move, the two sides will probably start fighting directly."

"It's hard to say. It could just be a threat. These top-tier powers have developed over many years, and their influence is deeply entrenched. They're not like those smaller powers that can be wiped out so easily. A complete war between them is relatively rare. If things really escalate, the Xiang Clan will likely be targeted, but how exactly they'll be targeted is hard to say."

Everyone has their own speculations, but they are all very clear about Kong Mu's current importance.

Some eyes turned to Lu Changzhi.

This somewhat lazy young man is becoming increasingly mysterious.

He only said a few words from beginning to end, yet this situation has arisen.

"Even Xiang Ge probably didn't expect things to turn out this way," someone said, shaking their head slightly.

Some people looked at Xiang Li, recalling what Xiang Ge had said before the Law Contemplation Gathering began, and their expressions were somewhat amused:

"His disciple alone has already beaten Xiang Li to this state. If he were to intervene, what would become of Xiang Ge?"

"It seems that it's not just Kong Mu who Xiang Li Liheng can't control. If Kong Mu has other fellow disciples who are all this monstrous, then the idea of Xiang Liheng dominating an entire generation will truly become a joke."

Just when everyone thought the matter was about to end with the Xiang Clan making threats to save face,

A sound suddenly rang out from the distant horizon:

"Take this blow from me, what a fine junior! From today onwards, I've decided to protect you."

The sound traveled very fast, approaching from afar.

The brows of everyone present twitched slightly.

"Besides?"

Most people don't know who the speaker is.

A very small number of the older, powerful individuals present, especially those from the Academy, seemed to have realized something, and their expressions showed varying degrees of emotion.

"That voice, could it be...?"

Duan Bo swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Brush.

Just as everyone was searching for the source of the sound...

Above the arena, a long coffin suddenly appeared silently in mid-air.

The long coffin looked extremely ancient, and there wasn't much of an aura emanating from it. In fact, at first glance, it seemed as if it had just been unearthed.

Upon closer inspection of one side of the long coffin, in the very center, there is a prominent character that reads "poke".

"Really!"

Duan Bo's eyes widened, as if he had confirmed something.

Many people present who knew many past deeds were shocked when they saw the long coffin and the word "tiao" on it.

On the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion side, a powerful figure, his expression moved, murmured in disbelief:

"Still... still there?!"

Another place.

"This... this..."

The Heaven-Piercing Sect leader of the Tongtian Sect, a powerful figure in his own right, even had his arms trembling.

The group of powerful Heaven-Piercing Sect behind them were also unable to remain calm, and their reactions were even stronger than those of the Heaven-Piercing Sect Master.

"Stab? Heaven-Piercing Sect?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly, and he guessed in his heart:

"Could this be the person invited by Ancestor Liang Si?"

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Changzhi used the system to scan the long coffin.

What catches the eye.

A green light appeared.

All done!

At this moment, in mid-air.

The long coffin was erected.

It was accompanied by a creaking sound.

The lid of the long coffin opened from the middle, like a door being pushed open.

A thin, extremely old-looking figure slowly emerged from among them.

As soon as that figure appeared, the arena suddenly fell silent.

Some people had extremely complex expressions on their faces, while those who were unaware of the situation were quickly informed.

The patriarch of the Heaven-Piercing Sect was a powerful figure who perished many years ago.

Later, Heaven-Piercing Sect encountered a crisis, this elderly man stepped in and displayed astonishing strength, helping the Heaven-Piercing Sect overcome the crisis and making the Heaven-Piercing Sect famous.

Unfortunately, it is said that this attack also exhausted the last of the lifespan of this patriarch of the Heaven-Piercing Sect. Not long after, he left behind his legacy and passed away completely.

Many years have passed since that incident.

However, now.

The patriarch of the Heaven-Piercing Sect has actually reappeared!

He's not dead yet!

"Zhang Ming, the thirty-seventh sect master of the Heaven-Piercing Sect, pays respects to the Ancestor!"

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

All the powerful figures and disciples of the Heaven-Piercing Sect bowed in respect.

It was a grand and awe-inspiring event.

It's hard for outsiders to understand their feelings.

The ancestor, who was clearly recorded in the long history of the sect, suddenly appeared vividly before their eyes.

Get up.

The old man looked over and spoke slowly.

As his voice rang out, a force suddenly appeared Heaven-Piercing Sect were located, lifting them up.

Such a small gesture, yet it exuded a certain aura.

Lu Yuan 'Lu Changzhi pupils suddenly widened as he stared intently at Lin Tongtian, the patriarch of the Heaven-Piercing Sect.

"Saint Emperor Realm!"

Even if he hasn't fully entered the Saint Emperor Realm, he's at least Half-Step Saint Emperor.

This founding ancestor of the Heaven-Piercing Sect is truly astonishing!

It wasn't just Lu Yuan.

Huang Zhan also sensed this aura, his expression slightly tense, and then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Lu Changzhi.

Judging from this, did you come specifically for this other party?

The location of the Xiang Clan.

Xiang Ge also sensed this aura, and his pupils immediately contracted slightly.

The Heaven-Piercing Sect, which was previously not taken seriously, actually has a Saint Emperor level expert?!

With the location and resources of the Heaven-Piercing Sect, how could that be possible?!

At this moment, Lin Tongtian looked toward where Lu Changzhi was.

Their eyes met, and a glint of light flashed in Lin Tongtian's eyes. Then, Lu Changzhi heard the other's telepathic message:

"Good lad, you hid well."

"Tell the Ancestor, your true realm now is probably already at the Saint Realm Eighth Layer, isn't it?"

Very straightforward, getting straight to the point.

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled, saying:

"It seems I still can't hide it from the Ancestor."

Lin Tongtian's gaze sharpened slightly as he re-examined Lu Changzhi, and replied:

"It seems I was being too conservative."

Then, he changed the subject and said:

"Let's get down to business first."

After speaking, Qi Lin Tongtian's gaze swept across the field, and he slowly said:

"As everyone knows, my lifespan is nearing its end..."

His words immediately silenced countless people in the audience.

Anyone with even a little knowledge would know how many years have passed, and for him to still personally come here now—is that what you call nearing the end of his life?!

The patriarch of the Heaven-Piercing Sect is just as good at hiding as the Xia Clan.

No, the Xia Clan is so good at hiding, could it be that they learned it from the Heaven-Piercing Sect!

At this moment, Lin Tongtian's gaze fell on Xiao Ye, and he said:

"I like this younger generation very much, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so we must be wary,"

Lin Tongtian's voice suddenly rose several octaves as he looked towards Xiang Ge's location and said:

"If anything happens to his disciple, even if it costs me my remaining lifespan, I will still give your Xiang Clan a good beating."

Lin Tongtian's voice fell.

Among the members of the Heaven-Piercing Sect, Zhang Ming, leading the group, spoke up immediately:

"But at this moment, everyone in the Heaven-Piercing Sect will stand with our ancestor, undeterred by the prospect of death, to plunge into the Xiang Clan!"
