138: The Heaven-War Hammer appears, the Emperor's weapon shows its power

Seeing this, Lu Yichan also rushed to Lin Yuan’s side, forcibly squeezing into the man’s embrace.

Zhao Cailian was a little displeased that her embrace was shared, but she didn't say anything.

After all, the other party was her Senior Sister, and they had all served him together, so there was no need to be jealous.

“Young Master! Chan’er missed you so much!”

Lu Yichan, like Zhao Cailian, felt no less longing in her heart than her Junior Sister.

She had long considered Lin Yuan her everything; even a moment of separation was unbearable, let alone being trapped for so long.

Both women had tear-filled eyes, their faces full of the joy of reunion.

Lin Yuan patted their backs and said softly, “Alright, don’t cry. I missed you too. From now on, just stay in the Sect and avoid dangerous places.”

That being said, no one could have predicted that a trip to War Heaven City would encounter such a thing.

Liu Yuyan watched the three of them being intimate, and a look of longing appeared in her eyes.

She suddenly envied these two women. How wonderful it would be if she could also lean into Lin Yuan’s embrace and express her feelings like them.

Shen Mingzhu, on the other hand, felt complex emotions.

Watching her Disciple throw herself into her man’s arms made her envious, yet she didn't know how to face it.

“Alas, bridges will be crossed when they are reached. We’ll take things one step at a time from now on.”

With a light sigh inwardly, she feigned a teasing tone, “You two girls, didn’t you see that Sect Leader is still here? You should pay attention to the occasion when you’re hugging and embracing, shouldn’t you?”

Hearing this, the two women’s expressions changed slightly, and they quickly left the man’s embrace, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment.

“This Disciple greets Sect Leader.”

Cupping their hands towards Yun Qiying, they obediently stood beside Lin Yuan.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd also noticed the Sect Leader and bowed in greeting.

Yun Qiying nodded and opened her lips, saying, “Congratulations on your safe return. The crisis here has not yet been resolved, so please leave quickly to avoid being caught in the crossfire.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed, and they turned and fled.

Yun Qiying turned to look at Lin Yuan and the others, intending to let them leave as well, when a loud bang echoed from inside the cave. Three streams of light rose from it, stopping in mid-air.

Looking closely, it was Qingxie Daoren and the two Gao Family members!

The two of them were covered in injuries, with blood at the corners of their mouths, and their Qi was weak.

The Qingxie Daoren’s condition was not much better, but he held a dark war hammer in his hand, attracting everyone’s attention.

Zhan Tian Hammer!

The worst-case scenario had indeed occurred!

The Emperor Weapon had fallen into his hands!

Gao Hong gasped for breath, looking at his enemy with disbelief, “The Zhan Tian Hammer was Seal-ed by our ancestor, and only members of my Gao Family can wield it. How can you control it?”

The man sneered, “Gao Hong, since you insist on knowing the answer, then open your eyes wide and see who I truly am.”

With that, he removed the dark mask from his face, revealing a pale, sinister middle-aged face to everyone.

“You are… High Evil! It’s actually you!”

Gao Hong exclaimed in surprise!

He never imagined that the disgraced clansman who was expelled from the Gao Family back then would transform into a Dao Platform Realm expert!

High Evil’s lips curled slightly, “Didn’t expect it, did you? I’m back, and I’ve obtained the Gao Family’s greatest treasure. All the humiliation and bullying you inflicted upon me back then, I will return in full today!”

With that, he raised his hand and lifted the hammer. The vast Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was mobilized, converging towards the war hammer.

Behind him, a gigantic hammer shadow appeared, dozens of meters long, radiating dazzling blue light, spreading along with the Emperor’s might.

For a moment, wind and thunder intertwined, dark clouds covered the sky, and the earth cracked, as if it were the end of the world!

“Is this the power of a King-Tier Emperor Weapon? Just by injecting Origin Qi, it can stir up wind and clouds. It’s truly terrifying!”

Everyone’s faces were horrified, startled by the scene before them.

“You scoundrels of the Gao Family, take this hammer!”

High Evil gripped the handle with both hands and exerted force. The giant hammer phantom followed his movements, smashing down with earth-shattering momentum!

They were locked on!

Gao Hong and Senior Gao were already severely injured and completely unable to resist, they could only watch as the attack struck.

“Boom!”

The clash of man and hammer produced a colossal sound that pierced everyone’s eardrums. Thick smoke instantly rose, mixed with residual power, sweeping outwards.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

The smoke gradually dissipated, and a woman’s coughing sound emerged. A graceful figure in a white dress appeared before everyone’s eyes.

It’s Sect Leader!

She had blocked the attack for the two Gao Family members!

It was evident that Yun Qiying’s face was quite pale, clearly not feeling well.

“Sect Leader!”

Senior Gao said with distress, “We are severely injured and won’t live much longer. Why did you have to do this?”

Gao Hong also said, “Sect Leader doesn’t need to sacrifice herself for us. We will deal with the remnant of our Gao Family ourselves.”

Yun Qiying firmly stated, “War Heaven City is an affiliated city of the Cloud Ripple Sect. As the Sect Leader, I naturally have the duty to protect you.”

With that, she looked at the Qingxie Daoren and said with full majesty, “You are High Evil, right? I don’t know what grudges you have with the Gao Family, but War Heaven City is within my Sect’s territory. Your actions against the Gao Family mean you are an enemy of my Cloud Ripple Sect. Now that you have obtained the Emperor Weapon, it’s a significant gain for you. Why don’t you retreat now? I can overlook your previous transgressions.”

Facing the powerful Cloud Ripple Sect, High Evil was completely fearless: “Sect Leader Yun, this is an old grudge between me and the Gao Family. Please do not interfere. I, Gao, have no intention of becoming an enemy of your esteemed Sect. Once I deal with these two, I will naturally leave.”

Yun Qiying shook her head: “Gao Hong and Senior Gao have made many contributions to our Sect. If I allow you to kill them, where would the Cloud Ripple Sect’s reputation stand?”

High Evil said coldly, “Sect Leader Yun, do you think reputation is more important, or the future of the Sect?”

As he spoke, he released Origin Qi, and the war hammer was triggered again, with a rich Emperor’s might tearing through the Void Realm.

“You are only at the Dao Platform Realm. Do you think you are invincible with just an Emperor Weapon?”

“With the Emperor Weapon’s assistance, I, a Dao Platform Realm Cultivator, can also slay Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators. I wouldn’t say I’m invincible, but it’s enough to deal with your Cloud Ripple Sect.”

“Heh, an Emperor Weapon. Do you think you’re the only one who possesses one?”

Yun Qiying chuckled, and with a thought, a white cloud-patterned longbow appeared in her hand.

Immediately, she channeled her cultivation and infused Origin Qi into the bow and arrow.

In an instant, a majestic Emperor’s might burst forth, like raging waves, surging and churning!

Emperor Weapon!

Another King-Tier Emperor Weapon!

Shen Mingzhu looked up and said, “The Cloud-Piercing Sun-Shooting Bow is our Sect’s Emperor Weapon. I didn’t expect Sect Leader to bring it. Although its power is immense, I’m afraid it alone cannot contend against the Zhan Tian Hammer.”

High Evil frowned slightly, then realized something and sneered dismissively, “I thought it was some divine artifact. It turns out to be just a pseudo-emperor artifact. How laughable, how laughable.”

Yun Qiying said proudly, “Even if this isn’t a true Emperor Weapon, with my Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, how much chance of victory do you think you have?”
