381: Yao Guang arrives at the battlefield
Rip—
An arm flew into the air.
In Jieyi City.
Zhao Tinghuang lay in a deep pit on the ground, powerful pressure forcing him to remain still.
Just now, the Great Family Head, seeing his silence, severed another one of his arms.
Ember Dust Daoist watched helplessly as Zhao Tinghuang was humiliated.
He gritted his teeth, "Come at me, you bastard!"
The Great Family Head glanced at Ember Dust Daoist.
He said with a chuckle, "Don't rush, once Zhao Tinghuang is dead, won't it be your turn? Don't panic, one by one."
The Great Family Head turned his gaze to Zhao Tinghuang, who had lost both arms and was bleeding profusely.
"Harmony brings wealth! In this world, there's always give and take. Don't you think your life is worth this secret? I can trade with you!
Whatever you want, as long as you reveal this secret, I can grant it to you."
Zhao Tinghuang remained silent.
Iron Mask looked at the Great Family Head.
This ever-smiling, amiable smiling tiger now revealed his fangs.
The Great Family Head, as a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, similar to the Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace, hadn't made a move in a long time. Even the few times they had clashed, it was merely a test.
Everyone had long forgotten what Dao these top figures of Xuanhuang Domain walked.
Iron Mask frowned.
Cooperating with such a smiling tiger, wasn't Tiance Military Prefecture also playing with fire?
However, as long as the Grand Marshal could reach Nascent Soul Perfection, all of this would be easily resolved.
The Great Family Head grew a bit impatient.
He frowned and said, "Zhao Tinghuang, do you really think I can't bring myself to harm you?"
Zhao Tinghuang listened silently.
The Great Family Head looked at Linghuang Pavilion, "Doesn't your Linghuang Pavilion have many direct descendants? They all say Zhao Tinghuang is cold-blooded, that you can kill anyone, and anyone can kill you.
I don't believe anyone can truly be cold-blooded. I believe that even Cultivators have seven emotions and six desires.
From a small assassin organization, Linghuang Pavilion has become a major power today. Did you, Zhao Tinghuang, not put in any effort?
Do you, Zhao Tinghuang, have no feelings at all?
Let me test it out, shall I?"
With that, the Great Family Head pointed towards the location of Linghuang Pavilion.
Linghuang Pavilion immediately turned into a pile of ruins.
Zhao Tinghuang's eyes instantly widened.
The Great Family Head said, "From now on, every three breaths, if you don't answer my question, I will kill one person from your Linghuang Pavilion."
Zhao Tinghuang gritted his teeth.
Then.
He completely relaxed.
He burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha..."
Ember Dust Daoist also sensed something and started laughing as well.
The Great Family Head raised an eyebrow, "Madmen, what are you laughing at? Speak quickly!"
Iron Mask was puzzled, "What are they laughing at? What did you do?"
The Great Family Head felt extremely irritated.
Then, he felt a powerful aura sweep from afar, heading straight for this place!
The opponent was like a meteor, crashing directly towards them.
In the sky, it left a long trail.
The Great Family Head's pupils constricted abruptly.
"Who is this?!"
He hadn't detected it at all.
Ember Dust Daoist and Zhao Tinghuang exchanged glances.
Their eyes glowed with fanaticism.
The Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace had broken through to Nascent Soul Perfection.
The reason he suddenly laughed just now was because his sound transmission jade talisman had received the voice of the Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace.
"Fellow Daoist Ember Dust, have you come out of seclusion? How is Jieyi City now?"
Seeing that Ember Dust Daoist hadn't responded.
The Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace realized the seriousness of the situation.
She hurriedly sent a sound transmission to Zhao Tinghuang.
Similarly, there was no response.
Something had happened in Jieyi City!
But what made the Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace even more certain was that her initial sound transmission hadn't even been delivered!
Jieyi City was sealed!
Hence that question.
And what made Ember Dust Daoist and Zhao Tinghuang fanatical was that a voice had been transmitted, yet the Great Family Head hadn't discovered it.
This meant that the Great Palace Master's cultivation had already far surpassed the Great Family Head's!
Nascent Soul Perfection!
They both understood in their hearts.
At this moment.
The Great Family Head's heart was churning with a tempest!
Being able to easily break through the Restriction he had set meant that her cultivation surpassed his.
This person was... the Great Palace Master!
Yes!
Why should that secret only allow Cultivators to advance from Early Nascent Soul Stage to Nascent Soul Mid-stage?
Why not think bolder?
Why couldn't it be that it allows everyone at the Nascent Soul Realm to advance one minor Realm?
A powerful desire to possess this secret surged in the Great Family Head's heart.
But he didn't hesitate for a moment.
He immediately fled.
He didn't even waste a second to warn Iron Mask.
Nascent Soul Perfection!
Damn it!
This was Nascent Soul Perfection!
The first Nascent Soul Perfection in Xuanhuang Domain!
Who would have thought that in this battle, while the Grand Marshal was still in seclusion, it would be the Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace who would first enter the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm!
What's the point of fighting now?!
The Great Family Head wanted to curse.
A deep sense of regret also welled up.
If he had persisted a little longer, perhaps he too could have enjoyed the fruits of this secret, and he too could have advanced to Nascent Soul Perfection.
A single thought, a single thought made all the difference!
The Great Family Head felt indignant.
But what he didn't know was that even if he stayed with the Alliance, Jiang Ning wouldn't sell the nascent soul breaking pill to this Great Family Head. The nascent soul breaking pill in Jiang Ning's hands wasn't sold to just anyone.
By then, the Great Family Head would inevitably have sided with Tiance Military Prefecture.
This was historical inevitability!
The Great Family Head cursed and flew rapidly out of Jieyi City.
Anywhere was fine, as long as he left temporarily.
Suddenly, he saw a shadow darting even faster beside him.
He was stunned.
"Marshal Dark Feather?!"
Dark Feather ignored the Grand Marshal.
They had entered the city together, but he preferred not to stand in the light, always maintaining his habit of hiding in the shadows. He hadn't expected it to actually gain him a sliver of an opportunity.
Dark Feather felt behind him.
After a brief collision with the beam of light, Iron Mask had instantly perished, his Nascent Soul also turning to dust.
Iron Mask was dead.
From now on, only he remained as a Marshal in Tiance Military Prefecture.
"Damn it."
That aura was getting closer and closer.
He couldn't escape either.
Dark Feather looked at the Great Family Head beside him and had an idea.
"Great Family Head, I'm sorry! I didn't want to do this!"
He suddenly kicked the Great Family Head.
This kick carried abundant Spiritual Qi, as well as Dark Feather's unique dark Spiritual Qi.
The Great Family Head's pupils suddenly dilated.
"Damn it!"
He subconsciously tried to resist.
But in that less than a second, Dark Feather used the shadows to "bounce" away and disappear.
The Great Family Head crashed into a Spiritual Qi wall.
His heart sank.
"It's over."
He had thought that the battle in Jieyi City would be a sure victory, but he hadn't expected such a major change to occur.
The Great Family Head used the momentum to turn around.
He stood in mid-air with the beam of light.
"Yaoguang, we are all old friends. Harmony brings wealth, there's no need to make it a matter of life and death, is there? Besides, Iron Mask was a Nascent Soul Mid-stage Cultivator, so killing him is fine.
But if you kill me, aren't you afraid that the people of Yousen Domain will seize the opportunity to attack Xuanhuang Domain?
They've been eyeing this place for a long time."
The golden beam of light paused and transformed into a woman.
The Great Palace Master of Yaoguang Immortal Palace wore a white long dress and a golden hair ornament on her head.
She appeared elegant and noble.
She raised her hand, emitting a green light that rescued the heavily injured Zhao Tinghuang and Ember Dust Daoist from the ground.
Then she looked at the Great Family Head.
"Great Merchant, I have already entered Nascent Soul Perfection. The death of one Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator is of no great consequence."
