31: Chapter 31 The Sect Leader Arrives! The Entire Sect is Terrified!
On the small path, the evening wind was desolate.
Su Changge stood frozen in place.
That crazy man in black had just vanished into the night.
Everything felt intensely unreal.
"I... scared him away?"
"Just with a glance?"
He looked down to examine his hands, then reached up to touch his face—still his same plainly handsome self, unchanged.
Just a moment ago, his body had lost control.
That feeling was fleeting; he couldn't even accurately describe what had happened.
But he knew he had survived.
"Whew..."
The exhaustion of surviving a disaster hit him all at once.
Su Changge's legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
At that very moment, a piercing sound of something breaking through the air whistled from the distant horizon!
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect the Little Martial Ancestor!"
"Quick! Go to Changge Peak!"
Streaks of light tore through the night sky, rising from all corners of the Taixuan Sect, rushing toward Changge Peak regardless of the cost.
The spectacle was like the sky collapsing.
The leading blue rainbow was the fastest of all, moving as if burning its own life force, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on the path.
As the light faded, Sect Head Qingyunzi's face was devoid of color, filled with terror and lingering fear.
"Little Martial Ancestor!"
The Sect Head rushed in front of Su Changge in a single stride, his Divine Sense frantically scanning his entire body. Seeing he was completely unharmed, his taut nerves suddenly relaxed, and he swayed, nearly collapsing.
"Are... are you alright?"
His voice was trembling.
He had clearly heard that shrill, distorted scream from just moments ago, and the fear and despair contained within it had shaken even him, a Golden Core True Person, to his core.
He was truly afraid.
Afraid that this supreme Opportunity, once in ten thousand years for the Sect, would be cut short.
If that were to happen, he, the Sect Head, would be the eternal sinner of the Taixuan Sect!
Su Changge looked at the Sect Head, who looked like he was about to cry, and his heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, the stage is set; he had to keep acting.
He immediately wiped away the lingering shock on his face and put back on that unfathomable expression of a Master.
He put his hands behind his back, stood against the wind, and indifferently glanced at the direction where the assassin had disappeared.
He spoke casually, in an indifferent tone as if crushing an ant:
"A small matter, no need to panic."
A small matter? No need to panic?
These eight words exploded in the Sect Head's mind like a thunderbolt.
He almost knelt on the spot.
When he arrived, he had clearly captured a wisp of lingering aura.
Golden Core!
And it was a Demonic Path cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core with a cold and treacherous aura!
A top-tier assassin at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core had infiltrated Changge Peak, and in the mouth of the Little Martial Ancestor, it was merely "a small matter"?
What kind of heaven-defying Realm was this?
What kind of overbearing aura was this?
The Sect Head's brain instantly erupted with wild waves, completing the entire earth-shattering drama in his mind.
A Demonic Path Golden Core assassin, relying on stealthy Divine Ability, had snuck up to the seemingly Mortal Little Martial Ancestor and launched a fierce attack.
As a result, the moment he showed his head, he was directly defeated in his Dao Heart and crushed in his Divine Soul by the Little Martial Ancestor's "Death Gaze," which contained supreme Divine Might!
In the end, he turned into a stray dog, screaming as he fled!
And the Little Martial Ancestor, from beginning to end, hadn't even lifted a finger!
Thinking of this, the look in the Sect Head's eyes as he gazed at Su Changge had transformed from admiration into fanatical faith.
At this moment, Wang Tiemian, the Elder of Tianjian Peak, and other high-level members of the Sect arrived one after another.
As soon as they landed, they saw the Little Martial Ancestor standing with his hands behind his back in the wind, his sleeves slightly fluttering, his expression indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
And their Sect Head stood respectfully to the side like a Disciple who had made a mistake, even deliberately slowing his breathing.
In the air, a faint, cold aura had not yet dissipated, and the lingering pressure made every Elder who arrived shake to their core.
"This... this is..." Wang Tiemian sensed that aura, and his face turned pale instantly. "Golden Core! It's the aura of a Golden Core Demonic Path cultivator!"
All the Elders were struck as if by lightning, standing frozen on the spot.
They never dreamed that a Golden Core assassin could silently infiltrate the heart of the Sect!
If this person's target hadn't been the Little Martial Ancestor, but them...
A chill shot from their tailbones straight to their scalps, and cold sweat instantly soaked everyone's backs.
When they looked at Su Changge again, their eyes were filled only with endless gratitude and awe.
It was the Little Martial Ancestor again!
It was the Little Martial Ancestor again, invisibly resolving a catastrophe for the Sect!
"We arrived late to protect you, please forgive us, Little Martial Ancestor!"
With Wang Tiemian at the lead, all the Elders knelt down in a dense crowd.
It was this familiar scene again.
Su Changge was already numb to it.
"Again? Do you buy your knees wholesale?"
He roared silently in his heart, but on the surface, he just waved his hand impatiently.
"Get up, I said it was a small matter."
"In the future, strengthen the guard, and do not let such petty villains disturb my quiet cultivation again."
In this tone, there was a hint of faint reproach.
Falling into the ears of the Sect Head and the others, it was no different from a thunderclap, exploding and leaving them so ashamed they wished they could disappear.
Yes! It was their incompetence!
They couldn't even protect the Sect's safety, forcing a Senior Master to take action personally, and then being scolded for being noisy afterward!
What a dereliction of duty!
"Yes! This Junior knows their crime!"
The Sect Head led them, and they kowtowed heavily.
"This Junior will return and activate the highest alert of the Mountain Protection Grand Array! We will mobilize all Sect Disciples to thoroughly investigate inside and out, and we will never let any petty villain step foot into the Taixuan Sect again!"
Su Changge nodded in satisfaction.
Very good, now his sense of security had increased again.
He ignored this group of Elders addicted to overthinking, turned around, and with leisurely steps, sauntered back to his thatched cottage.
Leaving everyone with a solitary, refined figure, hiding his merits and fame, sparking infinite imagination.
