165: Guxu

“Hmph! You two cannot break through this Senior’s Golden Silk Robe, so what will you do?”

After his initial shock and anger, Yan Qianyang regained his composure. He knew he couldn't break free from these Ghost Chains in a short time, but with the defense of his Golden Silk Robe, his confidence instantly returned. He even sat down to meditate and regulate his breathing.

“Heh heh, we don’t need to break your defense!”

Wang Changfeng sneered.

“What do you mean?” Yan Qianyang heard this and immediately felt a sense of unease.

“My Clan Chief wants to meet you!” Wang Changfeng said indifferently.

“You…”

“Enough with the nonsense, let’s go!”

“Buzz!”

Yan Qianyang hadn’t even finished speaking when Wang Xuanming mercilessly cut him off. Immediately after, a spatial gate appeared, and the latter, pulling the chains, walked towards the spatial gate.

“No! I’m not going!”

For some reason, as Yan Qianyang looked at the spatial gate, he felt his scalp tingle, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, making him unable to breathe.

So he struggled desperately, trying to break through the spatial gate, but it was all in vain. He was dragged into the spatial gate by Wang Xuanming.

Countless powerhouses who witnessed this scene were all horrified, for they too felt an immense terror, a terror that made them feel as if they were suffocating, as if they would die the next moment.

And it was only after the spatial gate disappeared that they collectively breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped from Hell.

Wang Changfeng did not leave. He pointed a finger at the terrified Daoist Chiyang. The latter didn’t even have time to let out a cry before his consciousness was obliterated.

“I’ll leave this place to you all!”

His voice echoed in the Void Realm, and Wang Changfeng’s figure disappeared. On this trip, he was going to Zhengyang Ancient Sect to prevent the other party from escaping.

Not long after, above the Ancient Disc Secret Realm, Deng Changyun’s figure appeared.

Although he said nothing, everyone knew that the two Small Saints of Zhengyang Ancient Sect were likely in dire straits… Half a day later, above Zhengyang Ancient Sect!

Boom!

A terrifying giant hand, as if reaching out from beyond the Nine Heavens, descended upon Zhengyang Ancient Sect with a world-destroying Aura, its dreadful power like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

“How dare you!”

“Who are you, you insignificant Junior? This is Zhengyang Ancient Sect!”

“Ah!”

“No…”

“Old Ancestor, save me!”

“No!!!”

Rumble!

The giant palm was still in mid-air, but its terrifying pressure was already unbearable, causing screams of agony and despair to echo from Zhengyang Ancient Sect, reverberating across hundreds of thousands of miles.

The sounds were like demons from Hell, making people shiver with fear, but many Martial Artists understood the horrors unfolding within Zhengyang Ancient Sect.

Swish swish swish swish!

Countless Martial Artists appeared in the Void Realm, gazing towards Zhengyang Ancient Sect with horrified expressions, yet also with a sense of schadenfreude, as if watching a magnificent play.

This cancerous growth that was Zhengyang Ancient Sect should have been eliminated long ago.

As the giant palm descended, terrifying power erupted within the territory of Zhengyang Ancient Sect, like the collapse of heaven and earth. Countless massive mountain peaks crumbled and shattered, space was torn apart, and hundreds of thousands of miles of land collapsed, forming a colossal crater.

All Martial Artists felt a chill, realizing this was the consequence of offending the Xu Family, even more terrifying than the collapse of heaven and earth.

A super force with a Legacy of over ten million years was directly annihilated, serving as a warning to the world that the divine might of the Xu Family was not to be insulted.

Fear surged within their hearts.

Not long after, all the major and minor forces in the Five Great Domains successively warned their people that if they encountered anyone from the Xu Family or Xuanhuang Hall, they must not offend or disrespect them. Those who dared to disregard this warning would be punished with extreme penalties.

Even the other powerful Fifth-Grade Holy Sects in Zhengyang Holy Domain were terrified, fearing that the Xu Family would target them next.

Wang Changfeng calmly observed his handiwork. Two years ago, he was merely a minor Yuan Ling Realm practitioner, never imagining that one day he could stand outside the heavens and, with a single palm, annihilate an ancient Holy Sect with a Legacy of ten million years.

He glanced at the giant crater below, then looked towards a certain spot in the Void Realm. He had already sensed that there were no Saints in Zhengyang Ancient Sect, but their Auras had appeared in a certain Void Realm tens of thousands of miles away.

Moreover, they showed no intention of concealing their Auras. Thinking of this, he moved, and his figure appeared in that Void Realm.

He saw eight figures lingering in the Void Realm. It was worth noting that three of the Saints, their Auras withered, had their sacred souls sealed and were bound by Saint-grade ropes. They were now heavily injured and unconscious!

“Gu Xu greets Senior!”

Wang Changfeng’s arrival seemed to have been anticipated by the group. The leading figure, an aged white-haired Old Ancestor, stepped forward and bowed.

This person was actually a Late Stage Small Saint, and he exuded a majestic Aura.

Wang Changfeng glanced at him, then at the others. The three standing Saints also had majestic Auras surrounding them. Although there was nervousness in their eyes, they possessed an upright demeanor.

The Auras of the three bound individuals were identical to Yan Qianyang’s. It was this Aura that had attracted Wang Changfeng earlier.

“It is said that the Zhengyang Ancient Sect’s guardian Cultivation Technique is the Zhengyang Hao Ran Art, which cultivates a majestic Qi and achieves Sainthood through the Dao of Hao Ran. However, because the Dao of Hao Ran is difficult to achieve Sainthood with, a powerful being created the Zhengyang Ancient Art.”

“Presumably, you four are those who cultivate the Zhengyang Hao Ran Art!” Wang Changfeng said indifferently.

“Senior’s words are correct! Our lineage was originally the main branch of Zhengyang Ancient Sect, but due to the difficulty of achieving Sainthood, it gradually declined. In the past, an Ancestral Master created the Zhengyang Ancient Art, with the original intention of achieving Sainthood through the Zhengyang Ancient Art, and then entering the Dao of Hao Ran.”

“But with the demise of that Ancestral Master, the atmosphere of Zhengyang Ancient Sect gradually changed. Due to the special nature of the Zhengyang Ancient Art, people’s desires gradually magnified, ultimately leading to the once righteous Great Sect degenerating into the Zhengyang Ancient Sect of today.”

“We are willing, but powerless to change all of this. Today, Senior has eradicated these cancerous growths of Zhengyang Ancient Sect, which can be considered as helping this Junior eliminate the troublesome elements within our Sect. This Junior is immensely grateful!”

“Here is all the accumulation of Zhengyang Ancient Sect, and these three are all direct descendants of the Yan Family, especially this person, who is our Zhengyang Ancient Sect’s Sect Master Yan Fengyang. Now, this Junior hands them over to Senior for your disposal!”

Gu Xu’s attitude was sincere, and he respectfully offered a storage ring with both hands.

Wang Changfeng’s Divine Sense entered it, only to see a mountain of storage rings inside.

Even if the other party hadn’t offered all of Zhengyang Ancient Sect’s accumulation, they had handed over eight or nine tenths of it.

Wang Changfeng was very satisfied. Moreover, they had captured the most important person on this trip, which was Yan Fengyang.

This was a person Xu Qing had specifically emphasized.

“You’ve done well! How about it? Interested in serving under this Senior?”

He could see Gu Xu’s power, and as someone who had achieved Sainthood through the Dao of Hao Ran, such people were generally more upright. If he could recruit him, he would feel at ease using him.

After today, the Five Great Territories would be taken over by Xuanhuang Hall. This was precisely the time when he needed a large number of talents.

And to suppress a Great Domain, he needed a powerhouse like Gu Xu…
