281: Chapter 281 The Pavilion Master Kneels, Pretending to Be a Dao Ancestor

The moment that Divine Sense swept over, Su Changge's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

He could clearly feel the pressure carried within that Divine Sense; it was hundreds of times stronger than the soul refining millstone that Li Changfeng had unleashed using all of his cultivation.

Just by being swept by it, the meager Qi of his Qi Refining First Layer began to tremble violently, and even breathing became difficult.

【Damn, what the hell is this? Such a strong Divine Sense? Could it be some old monster in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?】

【The commotion from the Great Sun Burning Heaven Art earlier was too big, did it attract some old antique hiding in the Lingxu Wasteland?】

Su Changge was panicking inside, his fingertips trembling slightly.

In essence, he was just a newbie at the Qi Refining First Layer. If his true strength were seen through, the opponent could crush him to death with a single finger.

He forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, keeping his expression calm and indifferent. He even put his hands behind his back and looked toward the west, where the Divine Sense had come from, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at something insignificant.

【No, I can't let the facade slip.】

【Quick, activate the special effect and scare this old monster away!】

With a thought, Su Changge deducted 500,000 emotion points and activated the active special effect: Saintly Purple Qi Across Thirty Thousand Miles.

In an instant.

A stream of purple Qi, so dense it couldn't be dispersed, erupted from beneath Su Changge's feet.

The purple Qi spread outward at an incredible speed, covering the entire area of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion in just a few breaths.

Then it covered the entire mountain range where the Jade Cauldron Pavilion was located, followed by a small half of the Lingxu Wasteland, and finally, it completely blanketed the sky of the entire Lingxu Wasteland.

The originally clear, azure sky turned completely purple.

Even the Burial Star Plain, far away in the extreme west of the Lingxu Wasteland, was completely covered by this stream of purple Qi.

The purple Qi carried a Dao Rhyme that was terrifying to the extreme. Any Cultivator touched by the purple Qi, regardless of their cultivation level, immediately fell to their knees, unable to even lift their heads.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing, who was meditating at the entrance of the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins in the Burial Star Plain, had only released his Divine Sense to investigate after sensing the fluctuations of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Art from the direction of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion.

He had thought that some old monster had emerged before him and wanted to snatch the Shattering Star Art in the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins.

As a result, the moment his Divine Sense touched Su Changge, it was slapped back by this overwhelming purple Qi.

Dao Monarch Yun Xing, sitting in his Immortal Cave, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of vital blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

He could clearly feel the Dao Rhyme within the purple Qi; it was a terrifying aura far exceeding the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and even exceeding the Great Emperor Level.

It was a Dao Ancestor.

It was definitely a being at the Dao Ancestor level!

He had actually dared to use his Divine Sense to spy on a Dao Ancestor just now?

How was this any different from seeking death?

Terrified, Dao Monarch Yun Xing rolled off his meditation cushion and knocked his head against the ground three times toward the direction of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion, "thud, thud, thud." His forehead split open, and blood flowed down, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.

"This Junior did not know the Dao Ancestor had arrived and offended you. I beg the Dao Ancestor to spare my life! I beg the Dao Ancestor to spare my life!"

After knocking his head, he scrambled to the entrance of his Immortal Cave, immediately set up eighteen layers of Restrictions, sealed himself entirely inside the Immortal Cave, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that Su Changge would come to settle the score.

Su Changge stood on the ruins of the Qingwei Courtyard and clearly felt that Divine Sense retreat rapidly, leaving no further movement.

The heart he had been holding in his throat finally settled.

【Damn, did it work? Did I really scare away an old monster in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?】

【The 500,000 was well spent! This was a huge profit!】

Su Changge suppressed the excitement in his heart, maintaining his indifferent appearance on the surface, not even lifting his eyelids, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

In his mind, the System notification sounds began to chime frantically.

【Ding! Obtained 500,000 fear points from Dao Monarch Yun Xing!】

【Ding! Obtained 100,000 shock points per person from all hidden Cultivators in the Lingxu Wasteland! Total obtained this time: 12,000,000 points!】

【Ding! Obtained 50,000 worship points per person from all Loose Cultivators in the Lingxu Wasteland! Total obtained this time: 8,000,000 points!】

The string of notification sounds made Su Changge's eyes widen.

He had just earned 20,500,000 in one go?

Including the remaining 32,000,000 from before, his total emotion points had now broken through 52,000,000?

【Damn, I'm rich! I'm really rich! This special effect was so worth it!】

Su Changge almost laughed out loud. He hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face, pretended to be indifferent, and raised his hand to brush the dust off his sleeves.

He crouched down and checked the breathing of Willow and Little Stone. Both were still unconscious, but their breathing was steady, and they were not in serious danger.

He casually placed a purple protective barrier around them to prevent anyone from seeing their faces and to keep them from being injured by the surrounding aftershocks.

After doing all this, he lifted his eyes to look toward the entrance of the Qingwei Courtyard.

He had heard it just now; dense footsteps were coming from outside the courtyard, along with crying shouts, getting closer and closer.

Within a few seconds, a large crowd of people wearing the Jade Cauldron Pavilion Disciple uniforms surged to the entrance of the Qingwei Courtyard.

Leading them was an old man with a goatee, wearing the attire of an Outer Sect Grand Elder, with injuries on his face and several holes in his clothes.

Seeing Su Changge standing in the center of the ruins and the purple Qi that hadn't yet dissipated, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "thump," knocking his head against the gravel-filled ground with a thudding sound.

"Immortal Venerable, spare our lives! We were blind and were previously deceived by Li Changfeng, offending the Immortal Venerable. I beg for the Immortal Venerable's forgiveness!"

The hundreds of Jade Cauldron Pavilion Disciples who followed him also knelt in unison, knocking their heads against the ground with loud thuds, not even daring to lift them.

Su Changge stood in place, looking at the people kneeling all over the ground, and raised an eyebrow.

【Damn, why are there so many still alive? Didn't Li Changfeng drag all the Elders to set up the formation?】

【These people don't seem to have participated in what happened just now?】

He thought this to himself, but on the surface, he showed no fluctuation, casting a calm glance at the Goatee Elder kneeling at the very front.

That glance held no emotion, yet it made the Goatee Elder shudder, knocking his head even harder until blood appeared on his forehead.

"Immortal Venerable, please forgive us! I am the Outer Sect Grand Elder of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion. When Li Changfeng set up the formation, I was guarding at the foot of the mountain with the Outer Sect Disciples. I had no idea he was going to make a move against the Immortal Venerable! I beg the Immortal Venerable to investigate clearly!"

Su Changge gave a faint "Hmm" and said nothing.

He was still pondering how to send these people away so he could quickly take Willow and Little Stone and run.

But the next second, the Goatee Elder raised his head, his face full of excitement, and knocked his head heavily toward Su Changge.

"Immortal Venerable, Li Changfeng committed many evils and has already been executed by you. Now, the Jade Cauldron Pavilion is without a leader, the Sect is half-destroyed, and the Disciples have suffered heavy casualties; we truly cannot go on!"

"I beg the Immortal Venerable to have mercy and take the position of Pavilion Master of our Jade Cauldron Pavilion, leading us to survive!"
