Chapter 70

Standing three zhang above the ground, the cultivator was three zhang away from the ground!

In the Lingxiao Realm, three zhang meant absolute power!

He did not use any magical treasures like the Wind Riding Jade; he was floating in the sky of the Lingxiao Realm with absolute power!

"Hmm, let me see where the thing is." The cultivator had an evil smile, his crane-like hair and youthful face, his green robe flapping in the wind.

"It turns out it's on this blue-robed boy." As soon as he spoke, his figure flashed, and before anyone could react, Qiming Zhenren was sent flying backward. When he landed, he had already turned into a bloody, mangled corpse!

And in the cultivator's hand was a ring.

"Ha, not bad, it has a First Rank Void-grade magical treasure. No wonder it can hide most of the aura of this treasure. Unfortunately, you can deceive them, but you can't escape the eyes of Zhenxuezi." The cultivator calling himself Zhenxuezi was extremely ruthless, and neither the Taiheng Sect cultivators nor the Landon Pavilion cultivators had reacted yet.

With a crisp sound, Zhenxuezi lightly crushed the ring, and a massive, violent aura immediately swept across the battlefield. A red, eerie pearl slowly floated into the air.

"Ha ha ha, that's right, it's you, it's this aura that attracted the Death Grass!" The Heavenly Evil Pearl finally reappeared. It turned out that after Zibì secretly put the Heavenly Evil Pearl away, she had placed it in the magical treasure that Qiming Zhenren had given to Yifeng early on. This was also why Ling San had been unable to sense the aura of the Heavenly Evil Pearl all along.

The principle is simple: each Void-grade magical treasure has its special ability. The special ability of this ring is to hide the aura of items. In fact, it's only because Ling San's cultivation was too low that he couldn't sense it. How could the aura of the Heavenly Evil Pearl be hidden by a Void-grade magical treasure?

"Senior!" Although Zhenxuezi had helped the Taiheng Sect deal with Qiming Zhenren, Ling San and Ren Wuyou were also covered in injuries. But from the trend, it seemed that Zhenxuezi did not intend to return the Heavenly Evil Pearl. "This Heavenly Evil Pearl is a magical treasure passed down by our Taiheng Sect ancestors. I wonder if Senior can..."

"Nonsense!" Zhenxuezi didn't even look at Ling San, and with a light flick of his hand, a red yuan force blew over, instantly turning Ling San and Ren Wuyou into blood!

"Grandpa!"

"Master!"

Just because of a respectful request, this person actually killed!

Yixia wanted to rush forward but was held back by Gu Xuyao.

Until they turned into blood, Zhenxuezi never looked at them. He just flicked his sleeve, and a withered straw fell into his hand. "I don't care about your inheritance or not. My purpose today is this. The only way to say 'no' to me is to beat me and take it from me!"

A soft cry came from the straw, and all the cultivators present felt a sharp pain in their eardrums. After that, the straw slowly floated up and merged into the Heavenly Evil Pearl!

"Ha ha ha, I didn't expect, I didn't expect, such a reaction, this time I've made a huge profit, a huge profit!" Zhenxuezi laughed heartily, he was extremely happy, while the cultivators in the field were extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Xuyao, being close, felt it most acutely. At first, it was just a sharp pain in the eardrums, but later, his head also began to feel uncomfortable, a swelling sensation as if his skull was about to crack.

"Ah!" Cries of pain echoed, and many cultivators who had not yet reached the Root Birth stage began to bleed from their five senses, and soon after, they exploded!

"Shuisheng!" Li Shuisheng's cultivation was still shallow, and he was close to the Heavenly Evil Pearl. After being constantly invaded by evil qi, he could no longer hold on and was about to explode.

Li Shuisheng pushed Gu Xuyao's hand away, took a few steps back, and clutched his head. "Big Brother Gu, I can't make it, don't worry about me..." As he spoke, Li Shuisheng used the Flying Technique to take off. "Big Brother Gu, thank you for always taking care of me. I am very grateful to you, thank you for caring so much about me, this clumsy cultivator. Big Brother Gu, this parting today will definitely not be seen again, but please remember, Shuisheng's only friend in this life is you, Big Brother Gu!"

After Li Shuisheng finished speaking, he flew away. Gu Xuyao shouted loudly, but it was too late. Just as Li Shuisheng used all his strength to fly, the evil qi in his body moved faster. After flying out a dozen zhang, he exploded in the air.

"Shuisheng!" Li Shuisheng had few friends in the Taiheng Sect, and Gu Xuyao was no different. Seeing him die and being unable to help, Gu Xuyao's hatred reached an unprecedented level. He turned his head and looked at the mad Zhenxuezi, clenching his fists.

But reason still prevented him from doing something foolish. He knew he couldn't throw away his life for nothing. This life was no longer his own; it carried a debt, a blood debt.

"Run, run, he's using evil techniques, run!" After the Landon Pavilion cultivators lost Qiming Zhenren, they didn't know what to do. Seeing cultivators explode one by one, how could they still have the confidence to stay? They all jumped onto flying boats, intending to leave.

Zhenxuezi's mad laughter continued, and the flying boats took off one after another. But at this moment, the entire Taiheng Sect was covered in a layer of blood. The flying boats that flew fast turned into powder as soon as they touched the blood layer, and the cultivators on them were completely destroyed.

"Run, this place is not suitable for staying. I know a place that might be able to resist the evil qi of the Heavenly Evil Pearl!" Yixia said, and with a few leaps, she moved towards the deeper part of the Taiheng Sect.

Gu Xuyao naturally wouldn't stay here to die. He nodded to Xiaohu, picked up the dazed Zibi, and followed Yixia into the deeper part of the Taiheng Sect.

Tuye also knew that the current situation was wrong. Seeing Yixia move, he knew she must know some safe place. His face turned serious, and he was about to follow.

"Uncle Tuye, save me..." At this moment, Yifeng suddenly reached out and grabbed Tuye's ankle. His cultivation was higher than that of ordinary cultivators. Although he was injured, he had not exploded yet. But the blood-red aura had already invaded his body. At this moment, he was bleeding from his seven orifices, his face twisted, and his former vigor was gone.

Tuye frowned. He was not a kind person and would not save a dying person like Yifeng. With a light kick, he sent Yifeng to the side and pursued alone.

Not long after Tuye left, the evil qi in Yifeng's body also began to erupt. With a loud explosion, the once spirited Master of the Taiheng Sect turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

At this moment, the Taiheng Sect was filled with cries of distress. Everyone was looking for a safe place to take refuge, but nowhere seemed safe.

As for Zhenxuezi, he didn't care about the actions of the other cultivators. He just looked at the Heavenly Evil Pearl, which was merging, and laughed madly.

"Senior Yixia, you said there is a place that can resist this evil qi. Where is it?" At this moment, Gu Xuyao could already feel a growing evil force in his body, as if it would burst out at any moment.

The Daoist chambers flashed by, and finally, a particularly large house appeared before Gu Xuyao's eyes. He had never seen this house in the Taiheng Sect before.

"The place ahead is the ancestral hall that only the Taiheng Sect Master can enter. Inside, there is a formation set up by the senior who originally brought back the Heavenly Evil Pearl according to ancient methods. Normally, the Heavenly Evil Pearl is stored inside. Since this aura comes from the Heavenly Evil Pearl, I think it should be able to provide refuge."

The Heavenly Evil Pearl is managed by the Master, but some cultivators are not good at resisting the evil power of the Heavenly Evil Pearl. If that is the case, the Heavenly Evil Pearl must be stored in this ancestral hall; otherwise, it would cause other cultivators to become violent.

As for Yixia, being female and not yet combined with yang, she can resist the temptation of the Heavenly Evil Pearl.

"I see." Gu Xuyao glanced at the Zibi on his back; her reaction to the Heavenly Evil Pearl was indeed not as strong as his.

"Ha ha ha, Niece Yixia, thank you for telling me this." Tuye, as the head of the Speed Academy, was extremely fast and quickly caught up with Yixia. "If it weren't for the Landon Pavilion cultivators breaking the illusion, I wouldn't have known about the existence of this ancestral hall. I guess the Heng character technique and some secrets of the Taiheng Sect are hidden here, right?"

Zhenxuezi appeared too suddenly, and for a moment, they all forgot about Tuye's existence. Now that he had caught up, it was a new problem.

Xiaohu frowned, and his figure flashed, attacking Tuye!

"Hmph, Xiaohu, everything you know is from me, don't waste your time!" Tuye easily dodged Xiaohu's attack. Tuye's cultivation method was extremely fast, and with the difference in cultivation, Xiaohu found it hard to touch Tuye.

At this moment, the five of them had already reached the entrance of the ancestral hall. Xiaohu glanced at Tuye, jumped back to Gu Xuyao's side, "Gu Xuyao, take Zibi inside, I'll hold him off. As long as I don't let him in, the evil qi will slowly kill him. The more he uses his power, the faster it will be!"

Xiaohu whispered to Gu Xuyao, but Gu Xuyao did not agree. "This is absolutely not possible. Your cultivation is not as high as his, how can you last as long as he does? This will only result in a pointless death and not solve the problem!"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm really foolish? Since I said this, it means I have a way to take him down with me. Don't say more, quickly take Zibi inside."

Xiaohu's evil qi was surging, and he cared about Zibi and did not want her to stay outside.

Gu Xuyao looked at Yixia, who nodded slightly. At this moment, someone had to make a sacrifice, or none of them would survive.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xuyao nodded heavily, patted Xiaohu's shoulder, and entered the ancestral hall with Yixia.

"Hmph, little thing, you actually dare to overestimate yourself and block me?" Tuye looked at him with disdain.

Xiaohu stood in front of the door, his eyes determined.

"Before this, I respected you for teaching me the Dao, so I called you Head. But from the moment you betrayed the Taiheng Sect, we are only enemies. Come, today I have seen death, and you will step into the Yellow Springs with me!"
