The Tianyun Sect Patriarch Who Fears Death

“Me, Senior, spare my life.”

“Senior, please spare my life!”

The old man in plain clothes trembled all over.

He kept begging for his life.

His voice even carried a crying tone.

It wasn't that he was timid, but the large saber resting on his neck seemed too terrifying in his eyes.

Four hundred meters.

A full four hundred meters.

And it was materialized.

He had lived for thousands of years and had never heard of or seen a weapon of this magnitude!

This wasn't even what scared him the most.

What terrified him most was that this four-hundred-meter saber also sealed countless things that made his soul tremble.

Divine Demons on the left, Ghost Gods on the right.

This feeling...

It was as if he were a chick, with an elephant's raised leg resting on his head.

Were he afraid or not?

Especially since the old man in plain clothes had lived to this age, he deeply understood the difficulty of staying alive.

He had been in seclusion in the Heaven Cloud Sect's back mountain for hundreds of years; even when others thought he was dead, he hadn't emerged. All he wanted was to break through to the Earth Profound Realm before his lifespan ran out, to extend his life.

Finally.

When he was at the brink of death, he fortunately broke through to the Earth Profound Realm, gaining thousands more years of life. He certainly didn't want to die as soon as he came out of seclusion.

So, the moment the four-hundred-meter saber rested on his neck, he instantly made this decision.

He even felt his speed wasn't fast enough, and his posture wasn't sincere enough.

Seeing the old man in plain clothes suddenly kneel and beg for mercy, Zhong Qing was also a bit stunned.

He was currently studying Zero Seal, following the system's introduction.

Then this old man popped out.

So, he tried it out according to the system's introduction.

He transformed the Zero Seal into a four-hundred-meter saber, and for the special effects, he also materialized some mythical beasts from his previous life.

He had originally thought there would be a fierce battle.

After all, Zhong Qing was only in the Sun Profound Realm now. Even with all his trump cards, he might be able to deal with this old man, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.

He didn't expect to directly intimidate this old man in plain clothes.

That saved him a lot of trouble.

However.

The mentality of the Heaven Cloud Sect's people collapsed.

They had originally thought their Old Ancestor would display his invincible might and slap the invading enemy to death, but who knew, before it even started, he just knelt?

This outcome, compared to his grand entrance, was too great a contrast.

At this moment.

The light in their eyes died.

There was no future.

Many people collapsed onto the ground, utterly lost.

For them, this rollercoaster-like emotional ride was simply too tormenting.

“Old... Old Ancestor.”

In the distant sky.

Wu Yun's mentality also collapsed; he stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

He was just about to cheer for his Old Ancestor, but before he could even make a sound, his Old Ancestor surrendered?

This further proved how terrifying the person he had provoked this time was.

Otherwise.

How could his Earth Profound Realm Old Ancestor just kneel like that?

At this point, he also didn't know what to do. Perhaps he could temporarily escape to seek reinforcements, but where could he find them?

Go to the few Holy Lands in the Eastern Domain?

Not to mention whether those Holy Lands would be willing to help him.

Even if they were willing to help him, what then?

Given that his own Old Ancestor had knelt, what good would Holy Lands do?

For a moment.

Wu Yun was filled with bitter regret.

If he had known Zhong Qing was so powerful, he would never have dared to provoke Zhong Qing, much less push Zhong Qing to the opposing side.

But just as Zhong Qing said.

There's no medicine for regret in this world.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Zhuge Qing's reminder from Wan Dao Mountain a few days ago.

He had said that the Heaven Cloud Sect should sever ties with Murong Xue, because Murong Xue had provoked someone they couldn't afford to provoke, and it might even bring disaster to the Heaven Cloud Sect.

At the time, he didn't believe it.

He thought, the Heaven Cloud Sect is comparable to a Holy Land, who could they not afford to provoke?

Now, looking back, wasn't the person Zhuge Qing spoke of that day, the one they couldn't afford to provoke, Zhong Qing?

Remembering Zhuge Qing's reminder, the torment of Wu Yun's regret grew even more intense.

The disaster of the Heaven Cloud Sect today, he could have avoided it multiple times.

But he didn't seize any of those opportunities.

“Right, right, right, Wan Dao Mountain, I can ask Wan Dao Mountain for help.” And while regretting, Wu Yun also seemed to grasp a lifeline.

“Zhuge Qing of Wan Dao Mountain might have a connection with this person.”

“Otherwise, how could Zhuge Qing have known in advance that this person was so powerful?”

“If I ask Wan Dao Mountain for help, maybe they can persuade this person to spare my Heaven Cloud Sect this once.”

For the regretful Wu Yun at this moment.

As long as there was a chance to salvage the situation, he didn't want to give up.

He glanced at the war-torn Heaven Cloud Sect, and without another word, he rushed towards Wan Dao Mountain.

The journey to Wan Dao Mountain was long.

So Wu Yun unhesitatingly used a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman.

These Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talismans were extremely expensive, considered the best life-saving treasures for cultivators.

Normally, Wu Yun would never bear to use them.

But at this moment, he only used them for travel, just hoping to reach Wan Dao Mountain as quickly as possible.

Along the way.

He directly used two Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talismans. The talismans carried him directly through spatial restrictions, and in a short while, he arrived at the entrance of Wan Dao Mountain.

Inside the main hall of Wan Dao Mountain.

Zhuge Qing, leading many elders, was studying the mysteries of the two wooden carvings when he suddenly heard Wu Yun's voice from outside the mountain gate.

“Hmm?”

“Wu Yun?”

“What is he doing here?”

“Didn't he already sever ties with my Wan Dao Mountain?”

Zhuge Qing looked puzzled.

But since the person had come, he decided to meet him.

Under Wu Yun's anxious wait, finally, Zhuge Qing, leading a group of elders, flew out.

When Zhuge Qing and the others saw Wu Yun's disheveled appearance.

They were immediately greatly shocked.

His clothes were tattered, his aura was weak, and most importantly, he was missing an arm.

Zhuge Qing and the others gasped.

This was the Sect Master of the Heaven Cloud Sect; who could have made the Heaven Cloud Sect's Sect Master look like this?!

“Wu Yun, what happened to you?”

Zhuge Qing couldn't help but ask.

“Brother Zhuge, please save my Heaven Cloud Sect.”

Wu Yun, seeing Zhuge Qing, quickly approached and, without a word, bowed deeply.

“Save your Heaven Cloud Sect?” Zhuge Qing was even more confused. “What exactly happened?”

Wu Yun heard this, smiled bitterly, and said with a grim expression, “Brother Zhuge, it's all my fault for not listening to you back then. That's why, that's why...”

Hearing this, Zhuge Qing's expression changed in surprise.

“You mean, Senior Zhong Qing wants to destroy your Heaven Cloud Sect?”

“Precisely.”

Wu Yun replied with a grim face.

“But even if Senior Zhong Qing is angry because of his disciple and Murong Xue's matter, it shouldn't go so far as to destroy your Heaven Cloud Sect, right?”

Zhuge Qing asked, puzzled.

Although he hadn't interacted with Zhong Qing, based on the descriptions from Qing Niao and Leng Ning, Zhong Qing shouldn't be a person who kills indiscriminately without reason.

Zhuge Qing's question.

Made Wu Yun shake his head bitterly.

“Alas, it's all my impulsive fault...”

Then, Wu Yun recounted the entire sequence of events to Zhuge Qing, starting from when Zhong Qing ascended the mountain, in detail.

After listening.

Zhuge Qing was greatly shocked.

He couldn't help but point at Wu Yun and scold, “You, oh you, wasn't this all caused by your own hands? I already warned you, and it would have been fine if you just didn't listen, but instead, you offended him to death. Now he wants to destroy your Heaven Cloud Sect, what good is it for you to come to my Wan Dao Mountain?”
