85: I stepped on the devil dragon here just to kill people!

Outside, within the main hall of Qingyun Sect.

Lei Yunhe, the Qingyun Sect Master at the Ninth Layer of the Mahayana Realm, along with All the Elders of the Revered Realm from the inner sect, sat upright and solemn.

Their faces were serious, their gazes deep, and their bodies exuded the supreme majesty of those long accustomed to high positions.

Before them stood several young figures.

Upon closer inspection, they were none other than the inner sect disciples who had gone to Youyun Valley with Lin Xun to eradicate demons.

Qingyun Sect Master Lei Yunhe swept his gaze over them, then spoke with a slightly grave expression, asking:

"Just now you said you encountered a powerful expert who did not belong to this world, and Lin Xun, for your safety, instantly sent you back to the sect, then faced that expert alone. Is this absolutely true?"

As he spoke, his eyes, as deep as an abyss, stared intently at the few individuals below.

It was as if he wanted to see through their expressions and hearts to discern the truth of the matter.

At this moment, Lin Xun's Junior Brother Jiang, seeing that it was the Sect Master speaking, immediately replied with certainty:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, everything we said just now was seen with our own eyes, absolutely no falsehoods."

His tone was firm, his gaze unwavering.

"But isn't your Senior Brother Lin Xun only at the Golden Core Realm?"

Clearly, Lei Yunhe still didn't quite believe what they were saying.

After all, in these past few hundred years, as the Sect Master, he had kept a close eye on the cultivation status of the inner sect disciples.

This naturally included Lin Xun.

The latter had spent hundreds of years to finally enter the Golden Core Realm, and was merely an unremarkable individual within the inner sect.

The reason he could become the Senior Brother of the inner sect was because all the inner sect disciples who had joined earlier than him had been promoted to high-ranking deacons of the sect.

If he, as the Qingyun Sect Master, could still be mistaken about such a Golden Core Realm cultivator...

Then that would truly be bizarre!

After all, he was a powerful expert at the Ninth Layer of the Mahayana Realm, just one step away from entering the Tribulation Transcension Realm.

But if what these inner sect disciples said was true, then there could only be one conclusion: Lin Xun was no ordinary person!

If that were truly the case, it was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the Qingyun Sect and the Qingyun Continent!

Just as Lei Yunhe was pondering this in his heart...

Lin Xun's Junior Brother Jiang continued to reply: "The former Senior Brother was indeed at the Golden Core Realm, but I cannot see through the current Senior Brother at all!"

"Junior Brother Jiang is right. The aura emanating from Senior Brother now is extremely unfathomable, completely unlike what a Golden Core Realm cultivator could possess."

"Yes, that powerful aura seems enough to look down upon the entire Qingyun Continent!"

"If Senior Brother hadn't acted today, we would have certainly perished on the spot before that suddenly appearing expert."

The other disciples also chimed in with agreement at this moment.

Lei Yunhe, seated above, seeing how resolutely they answered, sighed helplessly:

"I never expected that my Qingyun Sect would hide such a powerful expert!"

His voice contained both emotion and worry, clearly indicating his deep unease about this unknown variable.

Watching this scene, All the Elders seated on both sides couldn't help but reveal grave expressions.

At the same time, everyone felt an ominous premonition, like a storm brewing, emerge in their hearts, difficult to shake off.

But all they could do now was secretly pray that it wouldn't affect the Qingyun Sect.

However, just at this moment, a dragon's roar, echoing through heaven and earth, suddenly came from the horizon!

"This sound is... a dragon's roar?!"

Lei Yunhe and All the Elders present didn't hesitate; their figures flashed, and they instantly stood in the sky above the Qingyun Sect!

Then everyone gazed at the horizon with grave expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy!

There, a terrifying and eerie black cloud was approaching the Qingyun Sect.

The terrifying aura it emitted alone gave everyone a heavy sense of suffocation and oppression.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was tightly gripping everyone's throats.

Under everyone's fear, the strange black cloud, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, arrived in an instant like a primeval beast.

It came with great momentum, carrying endless gloom and terror, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.

Immediately after, an irresistible voice suddenly resounded from the black cloud.

"My Lord has descended! All of you from the Qingyun Sect, why do you not quickly kneel!"

This voice was like rolling thunder, deafening and chilling, striking fear into the heart.

The terrifying pressure it contained instantly enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect.

That pressure was like an invisible giant mountain, heavy and oppressive, and then it crushed down on everyone with an overwhelming force.

This caused everyone in the Qingyun Sect, from bottom to top, to involuntarily drop to their knees, their legs buckling, bowing down towards the black cloud.

Even Qingyun Sect Master Lei Yunhe and All the Elders.

Submitting to this powerful pressure, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

At the same time, their faces were filled with terror and awe, not daring to show the slightest hint of defiance.

Suddenly, as the black cloud churned.

Two extremely dazzling red lights fiercely shot out from within, instantly illuminating the entire territory of the Qingyun Sect.

The light was brilliant and dazzling, like burning flames, scorching and intense.

Seeing this, everyone, despite their fear, couldn't help but raise their heads and look.

It was better not to look; one look and they were immediately startled.

Because what entered their eyes were actually two eyes, like blazing suns.

Those eyes were enormous, their light dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at them.

A few breaths later, as the surrounding black clouds slowly dispersed, the owner of the eyes was also revealed.

It was none other than a colossal black dragon, its body winding, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, emitting an aura that looked down upon heaven and earth.

For a moment, everyone was greatly alarmed, their faces ashen.

Some, unable to bear the pressure, were directly scared to death on the spot.

This was because such a terrifying existence was already beyond what the Qingyun Continent could possess.

After all, even the current Demon Race Dragon Emperor was only at the Tribulation Transcension Realm.

At the same time, what shocked everyone even more was...

On the dragon's head of this giant dragon, there stood a domineering young figure.

The young man's posture was tall and straight, his aura imposing, as if he controlled the life and death of all things in the world.

Clearly... this was the truly important figure!

Lei Yunhe immediately and respectfully whispered: "I am Qingyun Sect Master Lei Yunhe. May I ask why Senior has graced us with his presence?"

Even though he suppressed his inner fear, his voice still trembled slightly as he spoke.

However, Xuan Tianchen seemed not to have heard Lei Yunhe's words, still standing with his hands behind his back on the head of the Immortal Devouring Demonic Dragon.

His demonic blood-red eyes showed no ripple, as if everything before him could not arouse his slightest interest.

Lei Yunhe, seeing him give no instructions, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

But even as large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, he dared not raise a hand to wipe them away.

A short while later, Xuan Tianchen finally uttered two words indifferently: "Kill people!"

His voice was cold and emotionless, as if announcing everyone's doom.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yunhe was greatly alarmed.

After regaining his composure, he asked in a low voice, filled with despair and unwillingness: "I wonder how my Qingyun Sect has offended Senior?"

"I never need a reason to kill!" Xuan Tianchen's tone was full of arrogance and disdain.

"An existence like Senior, why bother taking out his anger on my small Qingyun Sect?" Lei Yunhe tried to make a final struggle.

"How noisy. Shi Wudao, do it!"

Xuan Tianchen's eyes held no pity or hesitation; he immediately issued the command to the Immortal Devouring Demonic Dragon beneath his feet.

With this command, Shi Wudao's body immediately erupted with terrifying killing intent.

In an instant, that terrifying killing intent spread out like a tangible substance, fiercely enveloping the entire Qingyun Sect.

Under such circumstances, for everyone in the Qingyun Sect, there was truly no escape, no way out.

Today, the Qingyun Sect was in peril!
