359: Shen Laosan, the newly appointed Ninth Elder of the Inner Court by the Qi Mo Sect?

Tianyun Sect, a force of no small scale in the Inner Sea, had a Sect Master who was close to the Golden Body Realm!

Such a Sect was considered quite renowned in the Inner Sea, controlling a vast sea region. Almost all Cultivators within this sea region were subject to their restrictions.

Of course, the main reason Tianyun Sect could truly control a large sea region was the powerful force standing behind it: Azure Dragon Mansion!

Tianyun Sect was an affiliated vassal of Azure Dragon Mansion.

Due to Tianyun Sect's unique geographical location, being close to the territory of Qi Mo Sect, many experts from the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves were currently gathered there.

Ever since dozens of Saints from Suspended City died, the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves completely fell out with One Sect and Three Halls, and both sides engaged in fierce battles!

Canxing Hall and Feiyu Hall were both forced to retreat and hold crucial sea regions.

Star Palace, however, was the first Sect to control its Disciples and adopt a defensive stance, thus suffering the least impact.

Even a powerful entity like Qi Mo Sect, with its unparalleled might in the Inner Sea, could not be severely hurt by the combined forces of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves in just one or two attacks. Therefore, the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves deployed a large number of experts in various sea regions, guarding them.

They would launch attacks on Qi Mo Sect whenever an opportunity arose. Over a thousand experts, all formidable, were gathered in Tianyun Sect, specifically tasked with defending this sea region and confronting Qi Mo Sect.

And there were certainly not a few Sects like Tianyun Sect; many others were scattered within Qi Mo Sect's territory, waiting for a chance to strike.

Tianyun Sect was located on an island, with palaces spread across the entire island, each appearing grand and imposing.

Some Disciples of the Sect were Cultivating in the plaza, while others stood on mountain peaks, absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the morning glow, observing the changes in the vast sea, and Cultivating themselves.

In the distance, the sea was vast and misty, with surging waves.

At some unknown moment, a colossal shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon, followed by countless black dots behind it.

Unfortunately, the Disciples of Tianyun Sect did not notice this until the sky suddenly became overcast and the Heavenly Phenomenon showed abnormalities, finally alarming them.

The sky suddenly darkened, and within the clouds, fierce winds swept and lightning flashed!

A group of Cultivators emerged from the main hall, looking at the clouds with grave expressions.

"Who dares to visit? I am Bai Gang, Elder of Azure Dragon Prefecture. Your Excellency, please reveal yourself!"

Bai Gang, one of the Inner Mansion Elders of Azure Dragon Mansion, was a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Eighth Level expert with profound cultivation. He was also one of the experts specifically responsible for dealing with Qi Mo Sect at Tianyun Sect this time!

Standing beside him were Elders from other forces of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, all with rosy complexions, long breaths, and extremely stable Auras.

As soon as the Heavenly Phenomenon changed, this group of old fellows immediately noticed it and naturally all came out to see who dared to provoke them here.

Rumble!

In the sky, strong winds swirled, and lightning burst!

A terrifying giant hand suddenly reached out from the lightning-filled clouds!

"People of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, die!"

The newcomer did not even show himself, striking with lethal force from the very beginning, giving Bai Gang and his group of experts no chance to speak!

Endless strong winds surged, and on that giant hand, lightning flashed. Infinite Dao Patterns bloomed from it, almost fixing this entire island in place!

"Who are you, hiding your head and tail? I'd like to see how capable you are if you want to kill us!"

As soon as the giant hand appeared, it exuded an incredibly terrifying Aura, and an overwhelming momentum enveloped the area. Besides these Elders, everyone else was in great peril!

Boom, boom, boom!

The Elder of Immortal Bone Cave did not wait for others to act; he made his move first!

These people were all Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Sixth and Seventh Level Cultivators; how could they tolerate others acting presumptuously above their heads?

Moreover, this giant hand clearly intended to suppress all of them!

Who could endure this?

Boom!!!

As the Elder of Bone Immortal Cave moved, a colossal python soared into the sky. Its massive body, thick as a mountain, was wreathed in black poisonous mist. With its movements, the ground trembled and sea waves surged, incredibly terrifying!

This was the Dharma Body Power being activated; that terrifying giant python was the Dharma Body condensed by this Elder of Bone Immortal Cave!

"Petty tricks! Kill!"

Boom!!!

In the Void Realm, the giant hand descended, covering everything. A sea region spanning hundreds of thousands of miles was enveloped by that single palm, leaving almost no possibility of escape!

Instantly, the giant python Dharma Body directly exploded, and invisible currents of Qi fluctuation transformed into a tornado, sweeping in all directions.

Bang, bang, bang!

On the island, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Palaces trembled, and the experts of Tianyun Sect quickly activated the Sect-protecting formation. Everywhere, brilliant light shone, like blossoming starlight, shooting into the sky!

Pfft!!!

The Elder of Immortal Bone Cave had not expected his Dharma Body to be shattered so powerfully?

Even he himself was severely injured and vomited blood!

The newcomer was very strong!

Boom!!!!

And at this moment, as the palm print fell, the island shattered. Powerful might surged, and all the rocks, trees, and plants on the island were annihilated!

Tianyun Sect's Sect-protecting formation was directly shattered, completely unable to resist!

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!"

Screams echoed, and bodies exploded everywhere.

"Kill!!!"

In the distance, flying boats approached rapidly. Each flying boat was enormous, with battle flags fluttering and people bustling!

"Oh no, it's people from Qi Mo Sect!"

"Qi Mo Sect has attacked! How dare they?"

"How could this be? Aren't they supposed to be holed up? Why are they suddenly attacking us!"

The numerous Cultivators looked at the massive army of Qi Mo Sect Cultivators, hardly believing what they saw.

"Who exactly is this person? There's no such powerful expert in Qi Mo Sect!"

An Elder from Feiyun Cave showed a shocked expression. The giant hand had disappeared, but its lingering power remained, especially the strength of this expert who made the move, which far exceeded their imagination!

With a single strike, he directly crippled the Elder of Bone Immortal Cave. What kind of cultivation was needed to achieve that?

Bai Gang and other Elders like Gao Tianwu stared intently at the sky, their Auras erupting, preparing to meet Qi Mo Sect's sudden attack!

"Looks somewhat decent. This is more like people from a top Sect. If you don't even put up a decent resistance, wouldn't my attack be too boring?"

In the sky, a tall figure appeared.

The newcomer wore a black outfit, with a handsome and very young face!

But as this young face was revealed, all the Elders of the top forces present recognized him at a glance!

"Are you Shen the Third, the newly appointed Ninth Elder of Qi Mo Sect's Inner Mansion?"

Shen the Third, a name that sounded particularly unrefined, but now in the Inner Sea, no one was unaware of him!

...The Eight Great Elders of Qi Mo Sect's Inner Mansion had always been one of Qi Mo Sect's most important high-level figures.

However, just a month ago, a Loose Cultivator appeared from nowhere, incredibly powerful. His appearance was also very sudden, showing up right on the battlefield where Qi Mo Sect and the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves were fighting!

In that battle, this expert, who called himself Shen the Third, made a world-shaking move, directly suppressing and killing dozens of experts from the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves!

Even several Inner Mansion Elders of these top Sects died, which shocked everyone!

The experts of Qi Mo Sect were all frightened!

Not only was he too strong, but the most absurd thing was that he looked very young, claiming to have been in seclusion here and was disturbed by their battle!

But in the eyes of Qi Mo Sect's experts, this young expert who emerged out of nowhere greatly helped them, defeating the encirclement by the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves' experts and saving many lives.

After the battle, Shen the Third was personally received by Gao Tianwu, and at Gao Tianwu's enthusiastic invitation, he joined Qi Mo Sect!

Such a bizarre experience had never occurred in the entire history of Qi Mo Sect, yet it was a very normal phenomenon in the Inner Sea!

Qi Mo Sect had also had some Loose Cultivator experts join before, but never one so strong.

Shen the Third became famous in one battle, and in subsequent clashes against Qi Mo Sect by the experts of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, he killed a large number of them.

Moreover, he only killed Cultivators above the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm. In his words, those who couldn't even reach the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm weren't worthy of his attention.

His arrogant attitude was very much like a young person's way of dealing with the world, but such cultivation and strength made people dare not underestimate him!

Gao Tianwu valued him even more and reported to Holy Heaven Demon Sect, making him the Ninth Elder of Qi Mo Sect's Inner Mansion through an exception!

From then on, the name Shen the Third spread throughout the Inner Sea, commanding immense prestige!

No one dared to underestimate his youth; whoever dared to underestimate him would surely die upon encountering him. This had now almost become a consensus among all top forces in the Inner Sea!

It was just a pity that no one knew what the name Shen the Third represented!

"It seems you are not ignorant, and you know my renown, Shen the Third!"

Shen San was very pleased to see their shocked expressions, and he further exaggerated his arrogance and disdain to the extreme.

This was a tradition passed down by the main body: treat any opponent with disdain, never putting them in your eyes.

Who dares to defy?

Just fight!

The so-called Shen the Third was merely Shen Tianxing's Incarnation, Shen San. These were all contingency plans left by Shen Tianxing to stir up trouble in the Inner Sea.

Without Shen Tianxing himself being exposed, these Incarnations bore the mission of disrupting the Inner Sea, trying to kill as many experts as possible!

They couldn't let these forces cease their actions; they had to keep them fighting and in constant chaos.

Only then could Shen Tianxing gain all the advantages in this chaotic war and enhance his own strength!

"Shen the Third, you are celebrating too soon!"

"Do you think the Inner Sea is still Qi Mo Sect's domain? Experts from the Immortal Great Sects of various regions have already arrived; you won't be arrogant for much longer!"

"If you dare to bring people to deal with us today, then you must be prepared to pay the price!"

The Elder of Lingxu Cave said in a deep voice, a ruthless look in his eyes.

Even though Shen San's previous strike was extremely domineering, it did not scare them.

After all, this was the territory of the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves. As long as they held on, experts would soon arrive.

These top forces had long made thorough preparations; how could they be wiped out in one fell swoop?

"Hahahaha!"

"Just with the likes of you?"

"Don't worry, by the time those people behind you arrive, this place will already have been razed to the ground by me!"

"You will have no chance to leave alive!"

Boom!!!

Shen San had no intention of wasting more words; he was here to reap!

As his voice fell, Shen San stood in the Void Realm, a cold, sharp ancient saber appearing in his hand!

The black-clad youth, with a sharp ancient saber, struck without mercy!

Saber Qi, light suddenly appeared!

Above this dim island, it was as if the darkness was torn apart by this wisp of saber light. Brilliant saber light bloomed, seemingly splitting this world in two!

"Everyone, attack with me!"

Bai Gang and the few Elders at the forefront dared not be arrogant this time.

Shen San's renown was widespread, and his killing intent was heavy. The Elder of Bone Immortal Cave was crippled just like that; how could they dare to act superior in front of him?

Rumble!

One after another, the Elders made their moves. Some shifted their forms, transforming into colossal giants!

Infinite blood light suddenly appeared, forming a terrifying crimson river that swept towards Shen San.

In the sky, a soul banner flew up, soaring into the heavens. From within the Formation Flag, fiercely powerful Vicious Beasts were released, biting at Shen San, intending to devour him whole!

"Heh heh..."

"If it takes a second saber strike to kill you, then my name, Shen the Third, would have no business being flaunted outside!"

"Slay!"

Shen San moved, and a terrifying saber light condensed in the long saber in his hand. That unparalleled saber light, gathering infinite Dao Patterns, descended from the sky!

Screech!

The Void Realm erupted with endless saber light, obscuring the colors of this world. The great waves in the sea were cut open by a single saber, revealing the bottomless world beneath the sea!

Darkness was torn apart, the island collapsed, and massive palaces directly shattered!

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, a saber shadow stretching across heaven and earth formed!

Saber Qi crisscrossed between heaven and earth, as if this place was a world condensed from sabers!

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

No matter how strong your power or how formidable your Bloodline, you could not withstand this terrifying and peerless saber strike!

In an instant, all the Elders from the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves, experts above the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Seventh Level, were annihilated!

Except for those Cultivators who rushed towards the distant sea region to battle with Qi Mo Sect's experts, this island was directly destroyed by his single saber strike!

Under the terrifying saber might, all things perished!

This scene, witnessed by the numerous Cultivators, made them hardly believe what they saw; they were all going mad!

"Shen the Third... Is this Shen the Third's strength? Even the Elders couldn't withstand a single saber strike from him?"

"Too terrifying, too terrifying! With this killing god here, how can we win? Run! Quickly, run!!!"

"Where are the experts from the Great Sects? When will they arrive? No... I don't want to die!"

One by one, the Cultivators frantically fled into the distance; no one dared to stay and die.

And the group of Cultivators from Qi Mo Sect all looked at Shen San's heroic figure with reverence, their eyes filled with joy!

"Kill them! Don't let a single one escape! Ninth Elder is mighty!"

"Ninth Elder is mighty, everyone, kill together!"

Who could let such an opportunity slip by?

Qi Mo Sect was the number One Sect in the Inner Sea. When it didn't act, it was fine, but once it did, it was bound to be world-shaking!
