80: Chapter 80 You can die now!

"Sect Master!!"

A group of Xuantian Sect Elders rushed forward, surrounding and protecting Xuan Tiance.

One of the Elders released his Divine Sense to investigate.

A moment later, his face turned grim as he said, "It's shattered. The Sect Master's entire Dantian is completely shattered!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned deathly pale.

One had to realize that Xuan Tiance was at the ninth level of Core Formation!

He was the undisputed strongest expert of the Xuantian Sect!

Yet, in just a single encounter, his Dantian had been crippled by someone!

Just how strong was this person's power?

Core Formation Great Perfection?

Or even...

Nascent Soul!?

What terrified these Elders the most was that this person was merely a Disciple of the Qingxin Palace!

"Sect Master, what do we do now?"

The Grand Elder was filled with anxiety.

"Activate the Great Array... request the Old Ancestor to come out of seclusion!"

Xuan Tiance's breath was as thin as a thread, but the hatred in his eyes burned like a raging fire, wishing he could swallow Wang Ming alive.

...

A hundred miles away from the Xuantian Sect.

A white silhouette was racing through the air.

This person was none other than the Palace Master, Shen Lanxin.

"I must make it in time."

At this moment, her face was full of anxiety. Spiritual energy surged wildly through her body as she pushed her speed to the absolute limit, heading toward the Xuantian Sect.

Others might not be aware.

But as the Palace Master of the Qingxin Palace within the Three Sect Alliance, she knew the Xuantian Sect's foundations all too well!

The reason the Xuantian Sect could firmly remain the head of the three Sects...

...was not because of Xuan Tiance and those two eighth-level Core Formation Elders.

Nor was it because of those three Core Formation Disciples.

What it truly relied on was its strongest trump card, the predecessor of the previous Sect Master, Tang Yangwei!

Tang Yangwei's situation was somewhat unique.

He should have returned to the earth long ago, but he was unwilling to pass away just like that.

Thus, he found a secret technique to refine himself into a living corpse.

His cultivation remained the same as it was when he was alive.

The third level of Nascent Soul!

However, this secret technique had a flaw: he had to rely on the Xuantian Sect's protective array to constantly provide him with spiritual energy.

Only then could Tang Yangwei move about as he did in life.

Once separated from the support of the array, he would be nothing more than a walking corpse without any thought.

In other words, if he were outside, Tang Yangwei would be powerless even if he wanted to act.

But if he were inside the Xuantian Sect...

...he could display the peak combat power of his lifetime!

This was exactly what Shen Lanxin was most worried about!

Wang Ming's strength was beyond doubt.

While still at Foundation Establishment, he could make it so that even she, a ninth-level Core Formation Cultivator, could not break free from his control.

And now, Wang Ming had successfully reached Core Formation.

His combat power would likely be even more terrifying.

But Tang Yangwei was a genuine Nascent Soul expert!

Furthermore, he had been in seclusion within the Xuantian Sect for many years.

Although his cultivation could no longer progress, after all these years, his mastery of Martial Skills and power absolutely far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator!

In Shen Lanxin's view, Wang Ming had zero chance of winning against Tang Yangwei!

Even if she joined him, there was only a slim chance they could escape the Xuantian Sect.

The more likely outcome was that she and Wang Ming would be buried together within the Xuantian Sect.

She was the leader of a Sect.

Logically speaking, she should not put herself in danger.

If anything happened to her, the centuries-old foundation of the Qingxin Palace would be completely ruined.

But right now, she couldn't just watch Wang Ming go to his death!

"I have sacrificed so many years for the Sect."

"For once, let me be selfish for my own sake."

Shen Lanxin's eyes were filled with determination.

On this trip, either she and Wang Ming would return together...

...or...

...they would die together!

...

Xuantian Sect.

The winds and clouds shifted, and the earth trembled.

An incredibly terrifying Aura rose from the back mountain of the Xuantian Sect, instantly sweeping across the entire Sect.

"What is this?!"

"An enemy attack?"

"Such a terrifying Aura, it's even stronger than the Sect Master's!"

"Could it be a Nascent Soul expert attacking the Sect?"

Within the Xuantian Sect, no matter what they were doing, all the Disciples looked up in shock.

Panic instantly spread throughout the entire Sect.

Inside the main hall.

Xuan Tiance stared fixedly at Wang Ming, his eyes full of malice. "Boy, no matter how Heaven-Defying your talent is, before you've grown up, you're still just an ant!"

As he spoke, he and many Xuantian Sect Elders looked toward a certain spot with respectful and fanatical expressions.

"We welcome the Old Ancestor!"

Wang Ming also looked in the direction they were facing.

An intriguing smile played on the corners of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding such a big trump card."

"However..."

Wang Ming licked his lips.

His gaze was fervent.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator!

He wondered to what extent his Divine Sense would grow after devouring him?

While Wang Ming was thinking, countless streaks of gray spiritual energy gathered in the center of the hall.

They gradually solidified into a human figure.

The person was completely shrouded in a gray robe, their face obscured.

A strange Aura of death circled around them.

This person was the predecessor of the previous Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect, Tang Yangwei!

"Why have you summoned me?"

Tang Yangwei's gaze swept across the room as he spoke in a raspy voice.

Supporting his weak body, Xuan Tiance knelt respectfully before Tang Yangwei, pointed at Wang Ming, and recounted the events.

"You can't even handle a mere brat? Trash!"

Tang Yangwei gave a cold snort and looked at Wang Ming.

His eyes were full of contempt.

"Boy, I will give you only one chance."

"Hand over your soul blood, and I will let you take the position of Sect Master of my Xuantian Sect."

"Otherwise... die!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying Aura swept out from Tang Yangwei's body.

It pressed down heavily on Wang Ming.

"Old Ancestor, you..."

Hearing Tang Yangwei's words, Xuan Tiance's expression changed drastically.

Wang Ming had crippled his Dantian.

Yet the Old Ancestor didn't kill Wang Ming and even wanted Wang Ming to take his place!

This was even harder to bear than being killed!

"A cripple dares to speak?"

Tang Yangwei raised a finger.

A sharp black light shot out from his fingertip.

It instantly pierced through Xuan Tiance's head.

Xuan Tiance's face still held an indignant expression as his body completely slumped over.

In the hall, the group of Xuantian Sect Elders didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

They were afraid that a single mistake would displease the Old Ancestor and he would kill them too.

"Now, tell me your choice."

"To reach this step at such an age, I believe you are a smart man and should know how to choose."

After doing all this, Tang Yangwei's gaze fell on Wang Ming once more.

Wang Ming sniffed the air.

He shook his head slightly.

"What a pity, just a walking corpse."

"Not a true Nascent Soul."

From the moment Tang Yangwei appeared, he had sensed that strange Aura of death on him.

Now, after seeing Tang Yangwei kill Xuan Tiance...

...he was certain.

This Tang Yangwei was not a living being.

Instead, he was a living corpse whose life signs were forcibly maintained by some special method!

His spiritual energy remained, but his Divine Sense was completely gone.

To him, he was no different from a Mortal, utterly useless!

Seeing Wang Ming remain silent for a long time...

...Tang Yangwei's patience gradually vanished.

"Boy, you..."

"Since you are useless, then... you can die now!"

Wang Ming's eyes narrowed.

His Divine Sense transformed into an invisible sword and pierced through Tang Yangwei's neck.
