The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1149 - 348: Senior, When Did My Taiqing Sect Offend You?

"A mere rustic sect dares to use the Three-Color Restriction? Truly a waste of heavenly resources!"Nangong Xiongba’s eyes glittered with cold light, his tone full of disdain and contempt.

"Cough—"

Suddenly, he let out a muffled groan, a trace of crimson seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He hadn’t expected that mysterious Spirit Severing expert with the mask from that night over a year ago to have such uncanny and unpredictable skills.

Though their exchange was brief, it left a persistent dark wound within him.

"Just a fledgling newly into Spirit Severing..." he wiped the blood away, a hint of malice in his eyes.

Though that person’s strength was commendable, their use of Spirit Severing’s profound mysteries was evidently clumsy, clearly a recent breakthrough.

With this thought, the fury in Nangong Xiongba’s chest intensified.

That thief not only stole the Nangong Family’s treasure accumulated over millennia but also dared to use him as a whetstone for practice!

Such humiliation, what contemptible arrogance!

"This matter will definitely not end like this..." he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Once I’ve settled the matter with Mr. Ji and his people, I will make you beg for life, yet find death unattainable!"

Then, he turned his gaze toward the direction of the Imperial City, Nangong Xiongba’s black robe fluttered despite the calm: "Mr. Ji, Ghost Mastiff, since you’re determined to hide in the Imperial City..."

He slowly raised his right hand, gathering a heart-palpitating surge of Spiritual Power in his palm: "Then don’t blame me for starting with your sect!"

...

When the morning bell of the Taiqing Sect rang for the seventh time, Nangong Xiongba suddenly moved.

Without building momentum, without any warning, he simply raised his right hand and pressed lightly in the direction of the mountain gate.

"Boom——!!!"

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly went berserk, the clouds within a ten-mile radius were shredded to bits by an invisible force.

A giant hand of Spiritual Power materialized out of nowhere, its palm patterns as clear as ravines, crashing down with world-subduing might.

Before the palm wind even arrived, the bluestone ground outside the mountain gate had already cracked inch by inch, and the hundred-year-old pines on both sides snapped at their waists.

"Enemy attack——!"

Elder Wuzhu, guarding the mountain gate, could only let out a loud shout.

The next moment, the terrifying Spiritual Pressure swept in like an enraged sea, his chest met with the force of a heavy hammer, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood!

"Buzz——!"

The "Zhou Tian Star Formation" painstakingly crafted by Zhou Qing over a year erupted in radiant brilliance!

Silver, blue, and red Spiritual Lights intertwined and flowed, cascading like a river of stars, forming countless profound array patterns in the void, forcefully resisting the world-ending palm!

"Crack——!"

The light screen of the great formation trembled violently, its surface showing spiderweb-like cracks, but ultimately did not shatter!

"Hmm?" Nangong Xiongba frowned, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Able to withstand eighty percent of my strength?"

"Who dares to intrude upon my Taiqing Sect?!"

A thunderous shout exploded like lightning; from deep within the Taiqing Sect, five figures soared into the sky!

Leading them was none other than the Sect Leader of Taiqing Sect—Cao Zhengyang.

His beard and hair bristled in anger, Spiritual Power roared around him like a furious dragon, a green-bladed longsword in his hand hummed ceaselessly, its sword light reaching nine skies!

Behind him, Mo Xingjian, Gao Xuan, and six other Peak Masters appeared together, each presenting their Lifebound Magical Treasure, instantly emitting dazzling radiance, Spiritual might overwhelming.

Nangong Xiongba stood in the void with arms crossed, his black robe fluttering without wind.

Facing the might of five Divinity Transformation Perfections, he sneered, "Ants."

With the utterance of two words, the heavens and earth changed dramatically!

"Boom——"

The unique pressure of the Spirit Severing Realm cascaded down like a celestial river, instantly stagnating the Spiritual Power around Cao Zhengyang and his companions.

Their Lifebound Magical Treasures trembled intensely, emitting piercing sounds, sword light dimmed, cauldron flames extinguished.

Even the void beneath their feet began to collapse inch by inch!

"This is..." Cao Zhengyang’s pupils trembled, veins bulging on the hand holding the sword, "Spirit Severing Realm?!"

Disbelief and shock echoed in his voice.

When did the Taiqing Sect provoke such an entity?

Why did a Spirit Severing expert suddenly come knocking without any warning?

"Senior!"

Cao Zhengyang, enduring the agonizing pressure constricting his organs, a metallic taste rising in his throat, exited the Barrier and saluted: "Taiqing Sect holds no grievance with Senior, if there is any offense..."

"Silence."

Nangong Xiongba waved his sleeve lightly, an invisible force like divine punishment struck Cao Zhengyang’s chest.

Cao Zhengyang’s chest caved instantly, his body flung backward like a cut-string kite, heavily crashing into the protective formation’s light screen.

Silver, blue, and red patterns of the array fluctuated intensely, rippling layers of blood-red ripples.

"Sect Master Brother!" Mo Xingjian’s eyes almost popped, and together with several Peak Masters, they turned into streams of light, darting out of the formation.

And presented their respective magical treasures for cover, swiftly dragging the gravely injured Cao Zhengyang back into the formation.

"Cough... cough..." Blood trickled from Cao Zhengyang’s mouth, his gaze fixed firmly on the demon-god-like figure outside the formation.

His voice was hoarse: "Quickly contact... all the senior uncles... and external Peak Masters... through the sect’s Teleportation Array... for reinforcement..."

"The rest of you..."

Cao Zhengyang fought to stand with his heavily wounded body, forming the Taiqing Seal with his hands, "Follow me to guard the Star Formation!"

"Yes!"

One Peak Master immediately departed while the remaining five watched as Cao Zhengyang retrieved the Array Disc, and quickly performed incantations, the majestic Spiritual Power pouring into the Array Disc like a breached river.

In no time, the "Zhou Tian Star Formation" shone with increasing brilliance.

Silver stars transformed into heavenly nets, blue Spiritual Light spun webbing across the terrain, while red runes flickered like stars embedded within.

"Struggling at death’s door!" Nangong Xiongba sneered, raising his hand to point at the void with his forefinger.

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged violently, winds and clouds changed color!

"Let’s see if your turtle shell can compare to my Nangong Family’s Nine Heavenly Scorching Sun Array!"

"Boom——"

A massive finger as black as ink descended from the nine heavens!

The finger was a hundred feet thick, its surface shrouded in gray-white aura of death, resembling a Demon God’s finger reaching from the depths of the Nine Netherworld Hell.

On its joints, strange blood-red runes appeared, each line seemingly twisted from countless vengeful souls.
