183: Chapter 183 Heavenly Gang City Shakes

Shen Qingyuan's tone was casual, "The Ancestral Master of the Tiangang Sect was quite the ruthless character back in the day. It's just a pity that his descendants didn't understand, using fresh blood and resentful souls to feed it, turning this sword into an evil sword."

He glanced at Sect Master Li Tianxiao, who was paralyzed in the ruins, with a mocking curve on his lips.

"A waste of a divine treasure."

Sect Master Li Tianxiao lay on the ground, his face pale as paper, trembling all over.

"You... you..."

His voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with despair.

Shen Qingyuan did not look at him, but looked up at the Tiangang Sect Disciple hiding on the Peaks in the distance.

"The Tiangang Sect, from this day forth, is removed from the list."

Six words, spoken lightly.

Yet it resonated over the Tiangang Sect like a judgment from the Heavenly Dao.

Sect Master Li Tianxiao struggled to stand, only to find his body unresponsive.

"No... you cannot..."

"Bang!"

A foot stepped on his chest.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi looked down at him, a cold sneer on his lips.

"You said just now that you wanted to slaughter a Saint?"

Sect Master Li Tianxiao stiffened.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi raised the Saint sword in his hand, the tip pressing against his throat.

"Now, do you still want to slaughter one?"

Sect Master Li Tianxiao's face flushed red, his lips trembling, unable to say a single word.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi sneered and flicked his wrist.

"Puchi!"

A head flew up, fresh blood spraying wildly.

Sect Master Li Tianxiao's headless corpse twitched twice, then went completely still.

The Sect Leader of the Tiangang Sect had fallen.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi sheathed his sword, turned to look at Shen Qingyuan, and bowed.

"Thank you, Senior."

Shen Qingyuan waved his hand, his gaze sweeping across the entire Tiangang Sect.

"It is time to wrap things up."

Tiangang City, Yunlai Building.

Tea fragrance curled, string music played.

In a private room on the third floor with half-rolled bead curtains, several middle-aged men who looked like Loose Cultivators sat around the window. The spirit wine in their cups glowed with an amber luster, and a few exquisite small dishes were placed on the table.

"Have you heard? The Tiangang Sect... is gone!"

The speaker was a big man with a full beard, wearing a washed-out gray robe, clutching his wine cup. His voice was extremely low, but the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.

"What? Say that again!" A thin young man opposite him suddenly raised his head, his chopsticks dropping onto the table. "The Tiangang Sect is gone? How is that possible?!"

"It is absolutely true!" The bearded man swallowed, his voice trembling. "A Senior Brother of mine is an Outer Sect Disciple at the Tiangang Sect. He sent me a message this morning saying that the Tiangang Sect had turned into ruins overnight. Sect Master Li Tianxiao is dead, over a dozen Elders are all dead, and hundreds of Core Disciples are either dead or scattered..."

"Hiss—"

The sound of people gasping for air filled the table.

The thin young man's face turned ghastly pale, and the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into pieces.

"That is the Tiangang Sect! The head of the Seven Great Sects in the Southern Region! A Legacy spanning ten thousand years! With an Old Ancestor at the Peak of the Asking Dao Realm guarding it! How could it be gone overnight?!"

"Who is to say..." The bearded man picked up his wine cup and took a big gulp to steady his nerves. "But that is the reality. My Senior Brother saw it with his own eyes. The palaces of the Tiangang Sect have all collapsed, the mountain gate is shattered, the Mountain Protection Array was broken by someone, and even the ancestral grounds have been razed to the ground."

"Who did it?" An old man with white hair sitting in the corner asked in a deep voice, his murky old eyes filled with solemnity.

The bearded man shook his head: "I do not know. My Senior Brother said they only saw a white light shoot into the sky, then the entire Tiangang Sect trembled, and then... there was no then."

"White light?" The white-haired old man frowned tightly. "What level of powerhouse could emit such a white light?"

"At least a Saint, right..." The thin young man swallowed, his voice floating a bit.

The private room fell into a brief silence.

Everyone was digesting this shocking news.

The Tiangang Sect, the head of the Seven Great Sects of the Southern Region, with a Legacy of ten thousand years, had unfathomable heritage.

The sect had an Old Ancestor at the Peak of the Asking Dao Realm, several Elders in the Asking Dao Realm, and countless experts in the Primal Chaos Realm and Void Piercing Realm.

Such a behemoth was actually wiped out by someone overnight?

"That is not all." The bearded man took another gulp of wine, lowering his voice. "Do you still remember the Lightning Tribulation on the horizon yesterday?"

"Of course I remember!" The thin young man's eyes lit up. "That was the Saint Tribulation! The Tiangang Sect Old Ancestor was about to become a Saint! I saw it with my own eyes; the lightning was as thick as a mountain, and it could be seen for hundreds of miles around!"

"The Saint Tribulation was real." The bearded man put down his wine cup, speaking word by word. "But the person Undergoing Tribulation was not the Tiangang Sect Old Ancestor."

"What?!" The thin young man stood up with a start, not even caring that his chair fell backward. "Not the Tiangang Sect Old Ancestor? Then who was it?"

"The Grand Elder of Yinxian Village, Great Elder Yun Zhongzi."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

The white-haired old man's wine cup fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into pieces.

The thin young man widened his eyes, his mouth agape, the expression on his face incredibly vivid.

"Great, Great Elder Yun Zhongzi?! The Great Elder Yun Zhongzi from Yinxian Village?!"

"Exactly." The bearded man nodded, his eyes filled with disbelief. "My Senior Brother said that Great Elder Yun Zhongzi underwent the tribulation to become a Saint yesterday, and today he killed his way to the Tiangang Sect. Sect Master Li Tianxiao used the Ancestral Master's relic to forcibly raise his cultivation to the Saint Realm and fought a battle with Great Elder Yun Zhongzi."

"And the result?" The thin young man asked impatiently.

"The result..." The bearded man took a deep breath. "Sect Master Li Tianxiao is dead, and the Tiangang Sect is destroyed."

The private room fell into a dead silence once again.

Everyone was too shocked by this news to speak.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi of Yinxian Village became a Saint after Undergoing Tribulation, and then destroyed the Tiangang Sect.

If this news were to spread, the entire Southern Region would be shaken!

"But did the Tiangang Sect not have no grudge with Yinxian Village? Why did Great Elder Yun Zhongzi destroy them?" The thin young man came back to his senses, his face full of confusion.

The bearded man shook his head: "I do not know about that. But my Senior Brother said that when Great Elder Yun Zhongzi destroyed the Tiangang Sect, he said one sentence."

"What did he say?"

"The Tiangang Sect colluded with evil paths, plotting something sinister, and deserves to be executed."

The white-haired old man frowned: "Colluded with evil paths? The Tiangang Sect is at least a righteous sect, how could they collude with evil paths?"

"Who knows..." The bearded man shrugged. "Anyway, the Tiangang Sect is already gone, it is too late to say anything."

Just at this moment, a noisy sound came from downstairs.

"Make way, make way! News of the Tiangang Sect! Latest news!"

A young Cultivator rushed into the restaurant, clutching a Jade Slip, his face full of excitement, his voice trembling.

"The Tiangang Sect has been destroyed! Saint Great Elder Yun Zhongzi of Yinxian Village destroyed it personally! Sect Master Li Tianxiao is dead! Over a dozen Elders are all dead! The Tiangang Sect is finished!"

The lobby exploded into chaos.

"What?! The Tiangang Sect has been destroyed?!"

"Great Elder Yun Zhongzi of Yinxian Village has become a Saint?! And destroyed the Tiangang Sect?!"

"How is that possible?! The Tiangang Sect is the head of the Seven Great Sects! With an Old Ancestor at the Peak of the Asking Dao Realm guarding it! How could it be destroyed?!"

"When did Great Elder Yun Zhongzi become a Saint? Was that Saint Tribulation yesterday his?!"

"My heavens... The Southern Region is about to change!"

Exclamations, discussions, and questioning rose one after another; the entire restaurant was boiling.

The news spread through Tiangang City as if it had grown wings.

In a corner of the Yunlai Building, a figure shrouded in a long robe sat.

Zhou Hao listened to the surrounding discussions, his expression dazed.

He was originally in the city receiving the Cultivators of the Xuanyu Palace. Yesterday, he heard that Young Palace Master Yu Wushuang and the others had gone missing, and he was anxiously searching for them.

But he did not expect that when he returned to the Yunlai Building, he would hear the news that the Tiangang Sect had been destroyed!
