351: Jiang Taishen returns

"Word Spirit, Dustless Land!"

Just then, a low shout came from afar.

A colorless barrier once again appeared around everyone.

Hearing this voice, the four members of Lingyun Sect were overjoyed.

"Teacher is back!"

Lu Xingchen let out a sigh of relief, placing the Offering Token into his Storage Ring.

With Jiang Taishen stepping in, he wouldn't need to use the Offering Token anymore.

Lin Junyi's attack landed on the colorless barrier, only stirring up a tiny ripple, but it was utterly unable to shake it even slightly.

Lin Junyi was greatly astonished and quickly retreated, shouting loudly: "May I ask which Fellow Daoist has appeared? Can you give me, Lin Junyi, some Face and not interfere in this matter? Afterwards, our Yinkui Sect will surely offer a generous reward!"

Jiang Taishen's clear and cold voice echoed from a distance.

"So many of you bullying my Disciple, and you still want me not to interfere? Do you really think I, Jiang Taishen, am made of mud?"

Hearing this, the people from the four Sects were all greatly astonished.

"What? Jiang Taishen? That old immortal is actually still alive!"

Everyone looked up towards the source of the voice.

They saw Jiang Taishen, dressed in white robes with sleeves fluttering, flying in from the horizon.

Lin Junyi's Face was extremely grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Taishen, what good is it that you've returned? When you disappeared three years ago, you were merely an Eight-Star Martial Venerable. How much could your Realm have improved in such a short time?"

"Today, all four of our Sect Masters are here. Since you dare to return, we'll kill you along with them!"

Jiang Taishen said indifferently: "Lin Junyi, you're still as impolite as ever! We two are old rivals, and we've fought many times before. I suppose this Four Sects Alliance is also led by you, isn't it? If so, I'll give you a quick death!"

Lin Junyi snorted coldly: "Jiang Taishen, let me see how much you've improved in these three years! Soul-Sucking Palm!"

Although he spoke arrogantly, Lin Junyi did not underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

After all, Jiang Taishen's youthful Genius was well-known throughout Tianyuan Continent; he had Broken through to the Martial Venerable Realm at only 40 years old.

Who knew what he had experienced in these three years, or if he had become even stronger.

Lin Junyi and the Puppet at the Eight-Star Martial Venerable Realm attacked Jiang Taishen simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right.

Jiang Taishen stretched out both hands and clashed with Lin Junyi.

A huge Qi wave sent the people from the four Sects flying, and ripples appeared on the colorless barrier Jiang Taishen had set up.

Lin Junyi grunted and, along with the Puppet, flew backward.

Jiang Taishen also flew backward, crashing into the colorless barrier.

Liu Ruyan let out a surprised cry and shouted: "Teacher, are you alright?"

Lu Xingchen reached out and stopped Liu Ruyan, smiling: "Senior Sister, you must believe in Teacher. He is a Genius renowned on Tianyuan Continent for a long time, and his prestige is much higher than ours. It's impossible for him to not be able to deal with just one Lin Junyi. We just need to quietly watch his performance, and that's it."

Liu Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gently, and calmed down.

Lu Xingchen, however, was thoughtful, looking at the top of Jiang Taishen's head.

His Realm was the same as three years ago, still an Eight-Star Martial Venerable.

But for some unknown reason, Lu Xingchen could always sense an extremely dangerous feeling from him.

This feeling was incomparable to what Lin Junyi possessed.

Needless to say, Teacher definitely had a powerful trump card!

Lin Junyi stabilized his body, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! Jiang Taishen, everyone says your talent is extraordinary, with the Potential of a Saint, but now it seems you're nothing special! Three years have passed, yet you're still treading water!"

Jiang Taishen chuckled: "Lin Junyi, have you forgotten the foundation of our Lingyun Sect? My strength doesn't only come from fighting Qi."

"Hahahaha! No matter how much your Soul Power improves, it's impossible for you to Break through to the Heaven Realm Mid-stage, is it?"

"As long as you haven't Broken through, our four Sects working together will definitely be able to kill you!"

Jiang Taishen snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "You like 'killing' so much, so I'll give you one!"

"I say, explode!"

Jiang Taishen's voice transformed from gentle and refined to majestic and solemn.

As his voice fell, Lin Junyi suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Seeing this scene, the entire audience was shocked.

And as Jiang Taishen unleashed his Word Spirit, everyone also sensed his Soul Power, which had astonishingly Broken through to the Heaven Realm Mid-stage!

"Oh my god, how is this possible? Jiang Taishen killed Lin Junyi with just one sentence! Although Word Spirit Power means 'what is said comes to pass,' this is too exaggerated!"

"Heaven Realm Mid-stage! He really Broke through to Heaven Realm Mid-stage! Even most Saints only have Heaven Realm Soul Power. With just this Heaven Realm Mid-stage, Jiang Taishen can challenge a Saint!"

"In just three years, Jiang Taishen completed the transformation from Early Heaven Realm to Heaven Realm Mid-stage, which many Martial Artists find difficult to achieve in a lifetime! He is simply too amazing!"

"Ten years ago, it was rumored in Central State that Jiang Taishen possessed extraordinary talent and the Potential of a Saint; now, he has truly stepped into that Realm!"

"Although Martial Venerable and Martial Saint are only separated by one major Realm, they are as different as heaven and earth. Even if all of us joined forces, it would be impossible to shake Jiang Taishen in the slightest!"

Jiang Taishen's single sentence annihilating the Yinkui Sect Sect Master was too spectacular a scene; the other members of the Four Sects Alliance were all terrified.

Jiang Taishen mobilized his Soul Power, collecting Lin Junyi's Storage Ring and the Puppet into his possession, then said indifferently: "Lin Junyi is dead; are you still planning to resist stubbornly?"

Wang Yan, the Chiyan Sect Sect Master, bravely stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiang Taishen, on your Breakthrough to Heaven Realm Mid-stage! We and Lin Junyi were only allied by common interest; if we had known earlier that Fellow Daoist had Broken through to Heaven Realm Mid-stage, how would we dare to show any disrespect?"

"We will leave immediately and will never again have any dispute with Lingyun Sect!"

Jiang Taishen said indifferently: "You have already offended the people of our Lingyun Sect; it will probably not be so easy for you to leave safely!"

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, what compensation do you want? As long as it is within the capabilities of our Chiyan Sect, we will surely fulfill it!"

Jiang Taishen said indifferently: "Each of your four Eighth-Rank Sects will give me ten million gold coins. It must be done within three days, otherwise, I will personally come to collect it!"

Wang Yan nodded repeatedly, smiling bitterly: "No problem, we will definitely do it!"

Ten million gold coins, even for an Eighth-Rank Sect like Chiyan Sect, would be a severe blow.

What's more, they had recently participated in an auction held by the Royal Family of Wangshu Kingdom and had no liquid funds at hand.

To gather ten million in a short time, they would have to sell existing assets.

But even so, it was better than losing their lives directly.

Lin Junyi was already annihilated; would the remaining people dare to have any objection to Jiang Taishen's words?
