198: Killing Traitors

“To think, such explosive events occurred in the Extreme Yin Holy Land. The Nether God Saint Lord’s daughter is actually so fierce and debauched.”

Coming out of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, Qian Duoduo couldn’t help but smile.

It turned out that after the Nether God Saint Lord’s daughter married, she was willful and licentious, secretly meeting with multiple lovers. This matter was discovered by the Extreme Yin Holy Master’s son, but he was not only crippled of his Cultivation but also stripped of his dignity as a man.

Such a great humiliation was naturally unbearable for the Extreme Yin Holy Master, but the Nether God Holy Land’s handling of the matter was even more perfunctory. They merely killed those lovers and recalled their daughter to be confined, nothing more.

Furthermore, the majority of the Extreme Yin Holy Land’s high-ranking officials, and even the Extreme Yin Old Ancestor himself, personally suppressed this matter.

This also led to discord between the Extreme Yin Holy Master and the Extreme Yin Old Ancestor. However, due to the face-losing nature of such an incident and the inability to find fault with the Extreme Yin Holy Master, he was not dismissed.

Therefore, it wasn't that the Extreme Yin Holy Land wanted to betray them, but rather that the Extreme Yin Holy Master wanted to seek protection.

“The people of the Nether God Holy Land are truly arrogant to the extreme!” A Hui shook his head.

“Haha! When your fist is big, whatever you say naturally makes sense. The Nether God Saint Lord is a Saint of the Middle Stage, and behind him are three Saints and one Quasi-Emperor. The Extreme Yin Old Ancestor is merely a Saint of the Middle Stage, how could he contend?”

“However, with such an incident, even a proper protest would have been acceptable, yet they suppressed the matter without any objection. No wonder the Extreme Yin Holy Master sought us out.” Qian Duoduo shook his head.

A Hui asked, “What do you intend to do?”

“That depends on his sincerity!” Qian Duoduo sneered.

A Jade Slip appeared in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he transmitted a message into it.

On the other side, in a hidden stronghold, Cong Wu suddenly opened his eyes, then took out the Jade Slip. When he saw the message within, his entire body trembled, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

But then, he hesitated.

After some thought, he still took out a Jade Slip and transmitted the message exactly as it was.

Deep within Jiyin Island.

In a courtyard, a white-robed young man sat in a wheelchair, staring blankly at the koi in the water. Dozens of powerful auras were hidden around, guarding the courtyard.

At this moment, the Extreme Yin Holy Master walked in from outside. Seeing the young man in this state, a pain flashed in his eyes, and his fists involuntarily clenched.

But then he couldn't help but relax his grip, his eyes filled with helplessness and pain.

Suddenly, a Jade Slip appeared in his hand, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

There were only eight characters on it.

“If you wish for revenge, meet at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!”

The message was sent by Cong Wu, which meant... The Extreme Yin Holy Master glanced at the white-robed young man, and his eyes became resolute.

Then he left the Extreme Yin Holy Land, his purpose being to search for a certain medicinal herb.

This did not attract the attention of the Extreme Yin Holy Land's high-ranking officials. Over the past million years, the Extreme Yin Holy Master had frequently left the Holy Land to search for medicinal herbs.

On the other side, Ancient Martial Emperor Sect.

As all the powerhouses were recalled, the Sect-protecting formation also covered the entire Sect territory that day. From that moment on, no one from the Emperor Sect was allowed to leave, and the space within a million-mile radius was sealed off, making even communication impossible.

This also sparked protests from the Gu family lineage.

Tyrant Heaven Hall.

“Old Ancestor, what is Wu Xingqiong’s intention with this move? Isn’t he trying to trap us here?”

“Old Ancestor, Wu Xingqiong’s motive is probably not simple. We should strike first!”

“Yes, Old Ancestor!”

Under the instigation of a few individuals, a group of core high-ranking officials from the Gu family spoke up one after another.

“Is that so?”

Gu Batian’s gaze fell upon the person who spoke first, a half-smile on his face.

This person was one of the core Elders of the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect and also one of the influential figures of the Gu family lineage.

When he saw Gu Batian’s smile, his heart inexplicably fluttered with panic.

“Elder Xingsu, what benefits did Nine Rivers Holy Land promise you?”

At these words, the entire hall was shaken!

Elder Xingsu’s heart trembled, but he still feigned composure and said, “Old Ancestor, what are you saying? Why don’t I understand?”

Gu Batian smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Down below, you’ll have plenty of time to think!”

Elder Xingsu’s expression changed. His Saint Qi surged wildly, and he lunged at an Elder beside him. The latter had no chance to resist and was controlled by Elder Xingsu, with one hand placed on the Elder’s head.

“Saint Emperor Perfection?”

“How is that possible?”

The Elders scattered one after another.

It was well known that Elder Xingsu’s Cultivation had always been only Saint Emperor Middle Stage, but now he was displaying the strength of Saint Emperor Perfection. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy going on here?

“Let me go, I’ll leave now!”

Elder Xingsu said sharply.

“Bastard! Gu Xingsu, you scoundrel, how dare you betray the Sect!”

A Half-Step Saint shouted angrily.

This person was the Second Elder of the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect.

“Gu Xingsu, do you know that all your descendants are within the Sect? By doing this, do you not consider the consequences?” The Fourth Elder of the Emperor Sect also followed with a reprimand.

“Hehe, you fools, the Emperor Sect has already declined. If you don’t find a way out, then there’s only death!”

“It wasn’t easy for this old man to Cultivate to this Realm, and I still have nearly two hundred epochs to live. I don’t want to be buried with the Emperor Sect!”

Gu Xingsu had a sinister expression, his emotions extremely agitated, and the power in his hand intensified a few points.

“Elder Xingsu, don’t get agitated, we have no grievances or enmities!”

The Elder in his hand was startled and quickly said.

“You...”

“Clap clap!”

The sound of applause rang out, and Gu Batian looked at Gu Xingsu with a smile.

“Do you think that by taking a hostage, you can escape in front of this old man? To crush you, this old man only needs a thought! Moreover, you, of all people, chose to capture a spy from the Nether God Holy Land as a hostage!”

Gu Batian looked at Gu Xingsu with a mocking expression.

“What?”

At these words, everyone was shocked.

Gu Xiang, who had originally been terrified, heard this and his expression changed. He suddenly unleashed his Saint Emperor Perfection Cultivation, and then, taking advantage of Gu Xingsu’s inattention, he slammed a palm into the latter’s lower abdomen.

“Pfft~”

Gu Xingsu was severely injured by the sudden palm. Then Gu Xiang counterattacked, placing a palm on his back and throwing him towards Gu Batian.

After doing all this, Gu Xiang transformed into a streak of light and rushed out of the main hall.

All of this took only a few breaths of time.

“Ah!!!”

On the other side, Gu Xingsu felt his Dantian swell, and countless Saint Qi within his body became violent, while his body rapidly expanded.

“Self-detonation!”

Inside the main hall, the Elders’ faces were filled with terror.

The self-detonation of a Saint Emperor Perfection would not spare even a Half-Step Saint.

“Petty tricks!”

Gu Batian grabbed at Gu Xingsu, and a world of mountains and rivers instantly manifested in his hand, absorbing Gu Xingsu into it.

“Boom!!!”

A terrifying explosion erupted within the world of mountains and rivers. The entire world of mountains and rivers was instantly destroyed, but the main hall remained completely unaffected.

This was the method of a Saint giant: mountains and rivers in the palm, capable of easily evolving a world of countless sands in their hand. When facing an enemy, attacking with the power of a world of countless sands, its might was unimaginable.

“Pfft!”

The next moment, outside the main hall, a figure spat out fresh blood and flew back.

Everyone looked closely, wasn’t this Gu Xiang?

However, at this moment, his Dantian had been crippled. But above the Saint Realm, as long as the sacred soul was not destroyed and the Origin remained, his Cultivation would regress but would not fall below the Saint Realm.

“Thump thump!”

Outside the main hall, Gu Xingkui walked in.

“Father!”

“Have they made their move over there?”

Gu Batian asked.

Gu Xingkui nodded, “It has already begun!”

“Then let’s begin!”

A murderous intent appeared in Gu Batian’s eyes...
