603: Severing the Three Corpses

After Qi Cheng acted, the point of light erupted with a dazzling radiance.

Clearly, at this moment, he no longer cared about secrecy, seeking only the fastest and most complete eruption.

Outside, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall was momentarily stunned, her eyes appearing as if she had recalled something.

It was precisely this gap that allowed their progress to be more than half completed.

But just when only a tiny bit was left, the hesitation in the Hall Master of Luohong Hall's eyes gradually vanished.

Inside, Qi Cheng was so anxious he was almost breaking out in a sweat.

Chen De was the same, because if things went wrong, his life might also be forfeited here.

Finally, the point of light was successfully activated.

At the same time, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall still made her move.

She still threw out a light, airy strike, venting it upon the point of light.

The point of light had activated and was already in a state of alternating between illusion and reality.

Consequently, the power of this strike was greatly weakened.

During the teleportation process, those below the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm were instantly reduced to nothingness.

Several experts of the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm died, all of whom were on the weaker side.

Those with stronger power were also significantly affected.

Some no longer had complete bodies; the most severe case was left with only a single finger, though fortunately, they could still survive.

As for Qi Zhi, he was in the best condition, also because his strength was the greatest.

Currently, his body was merely a bit ethereal, and his aura was much weaker.

By current calculations, he was barely at the level of someone who had just entered the Eighth Transformation.

Heavy losses, truly heavy losses.

In their current state, what difference was there between Luohong Hall and being annihilated?

"It's safe here now, so you can tell us why the Hall Master has become like this, can't you?"

A voice came from behind Qi Cheng; it was the voice of the Fifth Elder.

Clearly, in the attack just now, he had also luckily survived and did not die.

After all, he was an outstanding figure among the elders, ranked fifth.

If he had died, the rest of the people would have died as well.

However, the Fifth Elder's current state was not very good either; his entire body was reduced to nothing but a skeleton.

Golden flames burned in his eye sockets, serving as eyes.

Although they had just escaped mortal danger and the priority should be to heal their injuries properly,

If this matter wasn't clarified, how could they possibly let it rest?

The vast Luohong Hall was gone just like that.

The key point was that the person who destroyed Luohong Hall was none other than their own Hall Master.

Therefore, there had to be an explanation for this matter, no matter what.

The First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were all at the peak of the Eighth Transformation of the Immortal Law Realm.

Among the ranked elders, they were on one level, while the rest were on another.

Thus, whenever the Hall Master of Luohong Hall had something to discuss, she would first consult the three Great Elders, and only then the others.

If it was something significant, perhaps only the three Great Elders would know.

At this moment, having weathered the crisis, even if the danger wasn't completely resolved, they were already impatient to know everything.

Seeing this, Qi Cheng stopped wasting words and began to explain to them.

"Actually, I don't know much either. It all started when the Hall Master went to attend the once-in-a-hundred-million-years Alliance Assembly of the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring. At the assembly, she..."

At the assembly, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall witnessed Xie Feng's power with her own eyes; he insta-killed the powerful Xuan Ni with just a single move.

At the same time, she also learned that Xie Feng was so powerful because he had successfully slain one of the three corpses.

The well-known method to break through from the peak of the Immortal Law Realm to the Saint Extreme Realm is to break through with brute force.

But in reality, there are many other breakthrough methods in the universe besides that.

With so many talents in the universe, there is always someone who can devise some stunning methods.

The Three Corpses Severing Method is one of them.

And the Saint Extreme Realm expert from the predecessor organization of the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring broke through using precisely this method.

Qi Cheng did not know the specific details; the Three Corpses Severing Method was only held by the masters of the ten sects.

No one else knew, and they hadn't even revealed the existence of this method.

Even now, Qi Cheng only knew that this was a way to break through to the Saint Extreme Realm.

All the masters of the ten sects possessed the Three Corpses Severing Method, but no one had used it for a long time.

Outsiders didn't know why; perhaps the conditions were too harsh.

It was well known that Luohong Hall of the Ten Sects of the Sacred Ring was the most low-profile, usually keeping to a corner.

But in terms of actual strength, they even dared to claim to be number one among the ten sects.

For instance, now that the First Elder has successfully broken through to the Ninth Transformation, with two Ninth Transformation experts in one sect, they are the true number one of the ten sects.

But Xie Feng quietly slaying a corpse truly gave the Hall Master of Luohong Hall a sense of crisis.

More importantly, Xie Feng revealed his ambition to unify the ten sects, and he had even begun to act on it.

As one of the ten sects' leaders, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall naturally harbored such ambitions as well.

Or rather, who among those who could reach this stage lacked ambition?

It was simply that their strength was insufficient to realize it, so they kept it hidden.

Therefore, after returning, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall also prepared to attempt Slaying Three Corpses.

It happened that the First Elder was currently breaking through to the Ninth Transformation, so only the Second and Third Elders knew about this matter.

And they made some arrangements and preparations in case her attempt at Slaying Three Corpses failed.

Originally, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall had envisioned that if she failed to slay the corpses and perished,

The first step would be to seal off all information; her death must absolutely not be leaked.

Then they would stall until the First Elder broke through to the Ninth Transformation, giving Luohong Hall something to rely on once again.

As for why she didn't wait until the First Elder finished his breakthrough before attempting it, Qi Cheng didn't know that either.

Furthermore, the Hall Master of Luohong Hall had made plans for the worst-case scenario: if she perished, the First Elder's breakthrough failed, and the sect faced total destruction.

She had made some preparations for escape, which was that point of light from before.

After she went into seclusion, the Second and Third Elders naturally had to arrange everything outside in addition to concealing the news.

At the same time, this was one of the reasons why Luohong Hall had been so sensitive lately.

Martial law was imposed across the entire territory; anyone who dared to cause trouble would be struck down immediately.

Chen De destroyed a life planet, and immediately three experts of the Immortal Law Realm Seventh Transformation appeared and took him out.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how good a planet was, it wouldn't warrant experts of that level taking action.

Unfortunately, she had prepared for her own death following a failed breakthrough.

But she hadn't prepared for a situation where her breakthrough went wrong, and she herself would end up destroying Luohong Hall.

The First Elder had succeeded in his breakthrough, but he was also insta-killed in one move by her when her own breakthrough went awry.

After the explanation, the surviving elders finally understood what was really going on.

One of the elders sighed, "The Hall Master was still too impulsive."

Not a single one of the other elders spoke up to refute this, including Qi Cheng.

"So what should we do next?"

No one dwelled on that topic anymore, asking instead about the future.

With the Hall Master in her current state, they didn't even dare to approach her; they certainly couldn't go back.

Qi Cheng pondered for a moment, "Why don't we..."

"Wait a moment!"

But he had only just spoken two words when his speech was immediately interrupted.

Turning to look, he saw it was an elder speaking and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

That elder chuckled, revealing an extremely friendly expression.
