85: Conquer the Tiangang Sect

Inside the palace, dozens of golden jade statues, each a zhang tall, stood on both sides, each exuding an inexplicable Law power.

The Tiangang Sect Master and the other person continued forward until they reached a statue three zhang tall.

At this moment, a black-robed Old Ancestor with a gloomy face was sitting cross-legged beneath the three-zhang statue.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

The two respectfully bowed to the black-robed Old Ancestor.

"Where is the jade talisman?" Tiangang Old Ancestor asked.

Upon hearing this, the Tiangang Sect Master quickly took out the jade talisman and held it up with both hands above his head.

"Pop!"

Space fluctuated slightly, and the jade talisman appeared in Tiangang Old Ancestor's hand.

"Interesting!"

Looking at the Law swirling around the jade talisman, Tiangang Old Ancestor sneered, then unleashed a surge of extreme cold Law power, instantly making the palace bone-chillingly cold, causing the two below to shiver.

"Buzz~"

The Law power on the jade talisman, upon contact with this Law power, instantly burst forth with dazzling light, and a terrifying aura spread out.

"Not good!"

Tiangang Old Ancestor's expression changed drastically, his entire body's Qi surged wildly as he tried to suppress the jade talisman. Seeing this, the Tiangang Sect Master and the other person also made their moves.

At the same time!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

All the statues in the palace seemed to awaken at this moment, and powerful Law powers burst forth, attempting to suppress the terrifying aura from within the jade talisman.

"Boom!"

A supreme power erupted from within the jade talisman.

"Pfft!"

Tiangang Old Ancestor and the two others were all sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as their Qi rapidly declined.

Meanwhile, cracks appeared on the golden jade statues under the recoil of this power.

"How is this possible!"

Tiangang Old Ancestor was in disbelief. One must know that the golden jade statues in the main hall were made from extremely rare Chongming Golden Jade, which was an object of extreme rigidity and Yang energy.

The origin of these statues was that when successive Venerable Realm powerhouses of the Tiangang Sect passed away, they integrated the Laws they had comprehended into them, allowing them to exert three or four tenths of their power from when they were alive, to protect the Tiangang Sect.

But now, this foundation of the Tiangang Sect was damaged by a mere jade talisman, which was something Tiangang Old Ancestor found hard to accept.

Just as he was about to get angry, the light from the jade talisman dissipated, and the ethereal figure of a handsome young man appeared in the main hall.

As soon as the young man appeared, a vast Qi permeated the entire scene, his aura filled the entire palace, all Law power stagnated and dissolved at this moment, and layers of space vibrated.

"Young Master of the Xu Family!"

Venerable Tianhai's expression changed.

Xu Qing merely glanced at him, then locked his gaze on Tiangang Old Ancestor, who instantly felt as if he had been targeted by a giant beast from the abyss, and the blood in his entire body stopped flowing at that moment.

"You are Tiangang Old Ancestor?"

A calm yet vast voice echoed within the main hall.

"Weaker than I imagined, no wonder that fellow Ye Xunzheng could suppress you!"

Tiangang Old Ancestor was about to speak, but only heard Xu Qing say a cold remark, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.

"Your Excellency, you can kill this Old Ancestor, but you cannot insult this Old Ancestor!" Tiangang Old Ancestor said exasperatedly.

"Oh?"

Xu Qing said with a half-smile, "Then let's kill him!"

As he spoke, an invisible force pressed down, Laws roared, and the terrifying pressure made Tiangang Old Ancestor nearly suffocate to death.

"No... spare me..."

Tiangang Old Ancestor had no desire to die; what he had said earlier was merely a tough remark, never expecting Xu Qing to not play by the rules.

"You, why are you showing off?"

Xu Qing glanced at him mockingly, then dispelled his attack.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

Tiangang Old Ancestor gasped for air. He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and this was the most humiliating day of his life, but he understood that in front of such a powerhouse, he was utterly powerless to resist.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, the opponent's cultivation was at least at Profound Venerable Perfection, or even a half-step Heavenly Venerable who had brought the Law power to Perfection, only needing the recognition of the Heavenly Dao to become a Heavenly Venerable Realm powerhouse.

As for Heavenly Venerable, he hadn't considered it, because the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds hadn't seen one for a million years. Since the great war in the Tianwu Era, the Land of Thousand Domains had been jointly sealed by powerful existences, restricting the emergence of Heavenly Venerables.

For millions of years, people in the Land of Thousand Domains who wanted to Breakthrough to Heavenly Venerable had to leave the Land of Thousand Domains and go to other Great Domains to Breakthrough.

And these powerhouses who left, after Breakthrough to Heavenly Venerable, could not return unless they paid a huge price.

"May I ask Young Master Xu, what is the purpose of your visit?" Tiangang Old Ancestor no longer had his previous arrogant demeanor.

"You truly lack discernment. I have come to this place; why do you think I am here?" Xu Qing asked with a sneer.

Tiangang Old Ancestor and the two others' expressions changed upon hearing this.

"Young Master Xu, do you know that even a power as strong as Tianyun Prefecture would not dare to demand the Tiangang Sect's submission!" Tiangang Old Ancestor took a deep look at Xu Qing, then said.

Xu Qing said with a smile, "That's because they lack the ability!"

The voice was not loud, but it contained unparalleled dominance, as if he had no rivals in the Southern Four Hundred Domain Worlds.

This person is so arrogant!

Tiangang Old Ancestor's expression froze upon hearing this.

"Young Master Xu, it's not that they lack the ability, but rather that the Tiangang Sect has someone behind it. If you want the Tiangang Sect to submit to your Xu Family, are you prepared to bear this Karma?"

At this point, Tiangang Old Ancestor involuntarily regained some confidence.

"Heh heh! Which is stronger, the Hall of the Gods behind the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall, or the Tiangang Divine Sect behind your Tiangang Sect?" Xu Qing sneered.

Tiangang Old Ancestor's expression changed upon hearing this!

Xu Qing actually knew about the power behind the Tiangang Sect. One must know that this information was only known by forces that were also among the Thirteen Sects.

The Tiangang Divine Sect behind the Tiangang Sect was precisely the Dao lineage established by powerhouses who had left the Tiangang Sect over these millions of years. Although its strength was considerably weaker than the Hall of the Gods, it also had a Divine Venerable powerhouse within its gates.

"Young Master Xu, do you know that Ye Xunzheng, whom you killed, was a personal Disciple of a Divine Venerable!" Tiangang Old Ancestor said faintly.

"Luo Qianjue?" Xu Qing scoffed, "Am I afraid?"

Upon hearing these words, Tiangang Old Ancestor felt that Xu Qing was insane. That was a Divine Venerable! Even in an imperial-level force, they would be an Elder!

"Alright! I don't want to hear any more nonsense. Submit or die!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura enveloped Tiangang Old Ancestor, who trembled all over. He knew that if he dared to say no, he would be killed by the opponent in the next moment.

But if he submitted, the Divine Sect would definitely not let him off.

Thinking of this, Tiangang Old Ancestor couldn't help but curse Xu Qing as a madman. How arrogant was it for the other party to dare to provoke a Divine Venerable.

The Tiangang Sect Master and Venerable Tianhai looked terrified; no one expected things to escalate to this point.

"It seems you choose death!"

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold, and he was about to deliver a killing blow.

"Submit! I am willing to submit!"

In the face of life and death, Tiangang Old Ancestor chose to live. No matter what, he had to preserve his life first. He still had nearly twenty thousand years of Lifespan and did not want to die like this.

As for submitting to the Xu Family, it was merely out of coercion.

He was waiting, waiting for the Hall of the Gods to make a move. The personal Disciple of that Divine Venerable had died, and surely powerhouses would be sent. At that time, the Xu Family would be annihilated, and he would still be the Old Ancestor of the Tiangang Sect.

Xu Qing glanced at Tiangang Old Ancestor and sneered.

"Open your Sea of Consciousness!"

Upon hearing this, Tiangang Old Ancestor's expression changed. If he opened his Sea of Consciousness, wouldn't it mean his life and death would be controlled by the other party?

"You have no choice!"

Upon hearing this, Tiangang Old Ancestor looked dejected and decisively opened his Sea of Consciousness.

Xu Qing branded a Divine Soul seal in his Sea of Consciousness. If the other party had any ill intentions, he could kill him with just a thought.
