93: Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, anyone who offends will die!

"Silence!!!"

"You all need not speculate!"

"Although Lingxiao Sword Ancestor is only in the Middle Golden Core Stage, he is a Heaven-Defying genius. Facing danger without fear, he used his cultivation and the might of the divine sword to sever one of Xiang Tianwen's arms as a minor punishment and a warning!"

"..."

The tens of thousands of Disciples of Profound Heaven Dao Sect instantly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone seemed to be under a Body-Fixing Spell, mouths agape, eyes wide, staring incredulously at Xiang Tianwen's severed arm in the air, then subconsciously looking at Su Yang beside the Grand Elder.

Middle Golden Core Stage... severed an arm of a Soul Transformation Stage Pavilion Revered Master?!

How is this possible?!!!

Spanning an entire major Realm and more, this was no longer a challenge beyond one's level; this was Heaven-Defying Immortal slaying!

After a brief silence, the crowd instantly erupted.

"Holy crap, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor severed Pavilion Master Xiang's arm?!"

"Golden Core severs Soul Transformation?! This... even ancient texts wouldn't dare write this!"

"Lingxiao Sword Ancestor reached the Middle Golden Core Stage not long after his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough, which was already Heaven-Defying. To actually be able to sever Pavilion Master Xiang's arm with a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivation... this is too Heaven-Defying!"

"The master of the divine sword is indeed terrifying! No wonder the Three Grand Elders value him so much!"

Countless exclamations, praises, and sounds of adoration intertwined, forming a massive wave of sound that swept across the entire Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Su Yang's image, at this moment, instantly elevated from a Sect Disciple who was lucky enough to be recognized by the divine sword, to a legend with unfathomable strength and talent that shook the past and present!

The eyes of the Sect Disciples, as they looked at Su Yang, were glowing, filled with an unparalleled adoration.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing stepped forward, his aurastern.

"Second matter!"

"Xiang Tianwen and his son secretly formed a faction, coveted the position of Sect Master, and disrupted the Sect's order. This trend must not be allowed to continue!"

"Profound Heaven Dao Sect has its own laws! Sect affairs should be discussed and decided by the Sect Master and the Elder Pavilion! Any private power struggles or actions that undermine unity are enemies of the Sect and will meet the same fate as Xiang Tianwen!"

As his voice fell, Grand Elder Xuan Qing waved his sleeve.

"Where is the Discipline Pavilion?"

Head of Discipline Pavilion immediately stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands in a salute, "Head of Discipline Pavilion, Pavilion Revered Master of the Discipline Pavilion, awaits the Grand Elder's command."

"Xiang Tianwen is to be handed over to the Discipline Pavilion for detention! Imprisoned in the lowest level of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, forever!"

"Yes!"

Head of Discipline Pavilion stepped forward, and two banners appeared in his hands. He tossed them into the air, and the banners tore open a spatial rift in the sky.

A powerful suction directly swallowed the bodies of Xiang Tianwen and Xiang Shaobo, who didn't even have time to scream, and they vanished.

After completing the task assigned by the Grand Elder, Head of Discipline Pavilion cupped his hands in a salute and retreated back into the crowd.

He hadn't expected this great revenge to be avenged so quickly, and Head of Discipline Pavilion was clearly in a good mood.

However, with the Grand Elder here, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, appearing very steady.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing's voice returned to calm.

But it still carried an undeniable majesty, spreading in all directions:

"Remember what happened today."

"Lingxiao Sword Ancestor must not be offended!"

"The Sect's laws must not be defied!"

"We shall remember the Grand Elder's teachings!"

The Elder Pavilion led the response.

The tens of thousands of Disciples of Profound Heaven Dao Sect shouted in unison, afraid that the Grand Elder might mistake their sincerity.

Looking at Su Yang beside the Grand Elder, every Disciple's gaze was fervent.

master of the divine sword.

Grand Elder's foremost Disciple.

Unable to Breakthrough Foundation Establishment for three years, and now his cultivation had skyrocketed to the Middle Golden Core Stage in a short period.

Furthermore, with his Middle Golden Core Stage cultivation, he severed an arm of a Soul Transformation Stage Pavilion Revered Master.

With all these factors combined, even without the Grand Elder's exhortation, they wouldn't dare to offend him.

Let alone offending him, they couldn't revere him enough.

"You may disperse."

After saying what needed to be said and warning what needed to be warned, Grand Elder Xuan Qing waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

"Disciples respectfully withdraw."

Tens of thousands of Disciples bowed respectfully.

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Only the Elders of the Elder Pavilion remained, as well as Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing, who were far away and didn't know whether to stay or leave.

"Repair the Merit Pavilion and select a new Pavilion Revered Master."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing instructed the Grand Elder.

"Yes."

The Grand Elder respectfully accepted the order.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing looked at Su Yang, and his expression immediately softened.

"Su Yang, shall we... go back now?"

Su Yang rubbed his temples and said, "I came to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for Spiritual Plants and immortal medicines. I haven't gotten them yet. I wonder if I can still get them?"

Su Yang looked at Grand Elder Xuan Qing.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing looked at the Elders of the Elder Pavilion.

The Sixth Elder, who handled various matters related to the Merit Pavilion, immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, please wait. I will personally handle your request."

"Thank you."

Su Yang naturally saluted politely.

The Sixth Elder was flattered and hastily waved his hand, "It's nothing, you're too kind."

He left immediately.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said to the other Elders, "Since the matter is settled, you all may return as well."

"Yes!"

"We bid farewell to the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian!"

"We bid farewell to Lingxiao Sword Ancestor!"

The Elders of the Elder Pavilion bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian, who had been patiently waiting, immediately excitedly asked Su Yang, "Revered Master, how did you sever Xiang Tianwen's arm? He's a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator, yet you severed his arm. That's simply incredible."

Su Yang didn't pretend in front of his three old Disciples, saying with lingering fear, "I also used all my tricks and exhausted all my strength to complete that strike; otherwise, I wouldn't have had any chance of winning."

Grand Elder Xuan Jian's eyes lit up, looking like a battle-hungry old man, "Even so, to be able to defeat the Soul Transformation Stage Xiang Tianwen with Middle Golden Core Stage strength, only Revered Master can do it! As expected of a Reincarnated Great Power from ancient times! When Revered Master reaches the Soul Transformation Stage, may I seek guidance from Revered Master?"

Su Yang naturally wouldn't refuse.

Having a Body Integration Stage sparring partner was exactly what he wanted.

He nodded and said, "We can spar together then."

"Thank you, Revered Master!"

Grand Elder Xuan Jian was overjoyed.

At his Realm, there were very few people he could fight, which was something he sought but rarely found.

Without an opponent in the Dao of the Sword, he lacked a goal.

Now that he had his Revered Master as an opponent, he couldn't even imagine how exhilarating it would be when they fought.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing leaned closer and asked curiously, "Revered Master, what happened with you and Xiang Shaobo? What exactly did he use to threaten you, making you want to kill him?"

Su Yang looked around, confirmed it was just them, and then used a sound transmission that only they could hear, saying, "He found out about my Dual Cultivation, and used that to threaten me into supporting his father as Sect Master."

In an instant.

Killing Intent erupted simultaneously from the eyes of the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian.

"No wonder Revered Master wanted to kill him!"

"This child deserves death!"

"Does Xiang Tianwen know about this? If he also knows..."

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "From the looks of it, he probably doesn't know. Xiang Shaobo must have kept it from him and directly discussed this with me."

Grand Elder Xuan Jian said, "No! Revered Master's Cultivation method is a top-secret of the Sect, we cannot take this risk! Revered Master, I'll go!"

As Grand Elder Xuan Jian spoke, he vanished.

Xiang Tianwen would never have imagined that his son's ambition not only failed to elevate him to the position of Sect Master but instead cost them both their lives.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian returned quickly.

He nodded, indicating that the matter had been handled.

Su Yang didn't say anything either.

Better safe than sorry was necessary.

He also wanted to kill Xiang Tianwen, he just hadn't been able to.

But since the Grand Elder was going to deal with him, he naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted.

Grand Elder Xuan Yan ruffled his fluffy hair, puzzled, "There's one thing I still don't quite understand. How did Xiang Shaobo know about Revered Master's Dual Cultivation? Is there anyone else who knows?"

The Grand Elders were not foolish.

As he spoke, his gaze drifted towards Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing, who stood far away, not daring to move.

Su Yang said, "I'll handle the rest of the matters. You all should go back as well. Those who need to Cultivate should Cultivate diligently. There's no need to rush in finding Cultivation partners for me; take your time and be more cautious."

"Yes, we obey Revered Master's command."

The Three Grand Elders left.

Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing were essentially Revered Master's women, so it was most appropriate for Revered Master to handle this matter himself. They shouldn't interfere...
