Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”What the hell is this?”

Xuan Tianxin was horrified.

He could feel the terrifying destructive power radiating from the Light Arrow. He knew that even for him, a single careless move would result in either death or serious injury. And if he got injured… When he thought of Yang Xiao’s expression, a chill ran down his spine. He couldn’t worry about anything else.

With a flicker of his body, he tried to flee.

But at that very moment,

Yang Xiao moved.

He used Star Flash,

appearing directly in front of Xuan Shangqing.

He raised his hand and slashed.

A terrifying Sword Wave

swept out, rampaging through the area.

In an instant, Xuan Shangqing was obliterated.

In addition,

the upper echelons of the Profound Celestial Sect surrounding him were mostly wiped out as well, along with Bing Wuying, the Sect Leader of the Ice Profound Sect.

This woman, who had betrayed even herself,

happened to be right beside Xuan Shangqing and was killed by Yang Xiao’s strike as well.

After killing her, Yang Xiao deliberately glanced at Bing Xin’s reaction. He saw her flinch for a moment before her expression returned to calm. It was clear she had already come to terms with it and let go.

He felt a great sense of relief.

After he was done,

Yang Xiao let out a great laugh.

He swung his sword a few more times,

killing many members of the Profound Celestial Sect.

Surprisingly, Yang Tian and Zhang Mengfei’s position was once again in his blind spot.

This gave Yang Xiao a slight pause.

Once could be a coincidence.

But twice?

’This guy is truly mysterious, as if he can see the future.’

At this moment, Xuan Tianxin, who had just managed to shatter the Light Arrow, finally reacted.

”You junior! You’re courting death!”

With a roar,

he lunged toward Yang Ziling in the distance.

Unfortunately for him,

when it came to speed, he was no match for Yang Xiao.

With a flash of Star Flash,

Yang Xiao intercepted Xuan Tianxin,

forcing him back.

”Fine! You’ve got guts, Yang Xiao!”

Xuan Tianxin was furious.

He looked like he wanted to eat Yang Xiao alive.

Yang Xiao ignored him. A figure flew over from the direction the Light Arrow had been fired.

It was none other than Lu Fangliang.

”Brother Yang, I didn’t let you down, did I?”

”Of course not. If it hadn’t been for Brother Lu’s arrow, how could I have killed so many people from the Profound Celestial Sect so easily?”

Yang Xiao let out a hearty laugh.

Xuan Tianxin’s expression grew even darker.

His gaze turned more venomous.

’Laugh. Go on and laugh. The later you enter, the greater Zhan’Er’s chance of success becomes. When that time comes, I’d like to see which of you can stop the invading army of my Immortal Dao! All of you lowly Martial Dao cultivators will die!’

At the same time, Xuan Tianxin made a decision.

’After Yang Xiao and his group go in, I’ll give him a grand gift.’

’A gift he’ll never forget for the rest of his life!’

”Brother Lu, we shouldn’t delay. Let’s go in now.”

Yang Xiao, however, paid no mind to the gloom in his enemy’s eyes.

Having killed Xuan Shangqing and annihilated so many from the Profound Celestial Sect and Ice Profound Sect, the frustration in Yang Xiao’s heart finally subsided a little.

He had been schemed against in his second life,

and what he hated most was being plotted against.

To say nothing of the fact that the Profound Celestial Sect was one of the Immortal Dao Sects, a mere pawn of the Great Power who had plotted against him before.

Yang Xiao couldn’t kill Xuan Tianxin right away.

If he didn’t kill the people Xuan Tianxin cared about to vent some steam, he felt like he would explode.

Moreover, Lu Fangliang had been lying in ambush all this time, waiting to strike at a critical moment. When they had gone after Xuan Tianzhan, things had happened too suddenly,

so there had been no opportunity for Lu Fangliang to help.

Now that Xuan Tianzhan had already entered the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion,

if they didn’t make a move now, it would be too late.

”Brother Yang is right. Let’s go in. Elder Pure Yang, would you please activate the order?”

Unlike Yang Xiao, Lu Fangliang had some knowledge of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.

He knew one needed to activate the order to enter.

However, his knowledge was ultimately limited. After all, the Lu Family rarely ventured out, and the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion only appeared once every thousand years. Thus, he didn’t know that the Northern Wilderness Sword Order could be secretly refined by someone else.

The Pure Yang Ancestor nodded.

He had them stand together.

Yang Ziling was still unconscious, and the Pure Yang Ancestor didn’t fully trust Bing Xin.

Therefore, the task of carrying the sleeping beauty fell to Yang Xiao once again.

The Sword Order activated.

With a flash of brilliant light,

the four of them instantly

disappeared.

As everyone’s attention was fixed on Yang Xiao’s departure,

in a distant corner, Yang Tian and Zhang Mengfei—who had once again escaped death by a hair’s breadth—also vanished mysteriously at that same moment.

It seemed a mysterious power,

one with the same origin as the Northern Wilderness Sword Order,

had been triggered by Yang Tian.

And then,

he and Zhang Mengfei were gone.

Not only did the ordinary people miss this,

but even Xuan Tianxin and the Pure Yang Ancestor failed to notice.

It was an incredibly bizarre occurrence.

Seeing Yang Xiao depart, the Pure Yang Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of Yang Xiao, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. ’Young Friend Yang is excellent in all respects, but unfortunately, he is far too bloodthirsty. However, the fact that he can hold firm to his heart gives this old man some peace of mind. I’m not afraid he’ll end up like that wretched disciple, a complete slave to the Evil Sword who knew nothing but to kill, kill, kill!’

At the thought of the Evil Sword who threw the world into chaos three hundred years ago, the Pure Yang Ancestor’s heart ached faintly.

The old wounds on his body began to throb with a dull pain.

Everyone in the world knew that three hundred years ago, it was the Pure Yang Ancestor who had turned the tide and slain the Evil Sword that had brought chaos to the lands.

But very few knew the truth.

That the Evil Sword

had once been the Pure Yang Ancestor’s most beloved disciple.

His successor, whom he had treated like his own son.

’That old fossil! I’ll let you be smug for a few more days. Hmph. And as for Yang Xiao…’

The Pure Yang Ancestor’s injuries had mostly healed.

Xuan Tianxin knew that with his current strength, he likely couldn’t kill him.

But Yang Xiao…!

”Pass down my order! Gather all the experts in the Sect and attack Yang Xiao’s Carefree Sect! And right, the other sects—tell their remaining forces to mobilize at full strength. Kill anyone who refuses!”

Xuan Tianxin coldly gave the order to the two remaining Martial Saints of the Profound Celestial Sect.

At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Bing Qingying, the Supreme Elder of the Ice Profound Sect. She was Bing Wuying’s senior martial sister and, after Bing Wuying, the most powerful and influential person in the sect.

She was the one who had represented the Ice Profound Sect in forming the alliance with Xuan Shangqing.

In response to Xuan Tianxin’s command,

Bing Qingying had no way to refuse. After nodding in agreement,

she also gathered her elites

and left the Northern Wilderness Forest.

Also departing

were the two Martial Saints from the Profound Celestial Sect.

As for the rest,

they didn’t leave.

Xuan Tianxin clearly didn’t want to cause too much of a commotion

and alert the Pure Yang Ancestor.

Besides,

in Xuan Tianxin’s view, it was just a newly established power.

’It was probably weaker than even the original Purple Sun Sect, so how strong could it possibly be?’

Even though the Six Great Sects had lost more than half their strength, he now had two Martial Saints and an expert like Bing Qingying, who was at the Peak of Half-Step Martial Saint, taking action.

It should be a foolproof plan.

Xuan Tianxin felt assured.

He was already imagining it.

He imagined Yang Xiao emerging,

only to discover that the sect he had worked so hard to build had been annihilated. He couldn’t wait to see the look on his face.

’You dared to kill my Qing’Er, Yang Xiao… I will make you regret this for the rest of your life!’

Xuan Tianxin roared in his heart,

but his face remained expressionless.

What he didn’t know, however, was

that Yang Xiao had long anticipated this.

He had anticipated that someone would attack the Carefree Sect after he left.

With his foresight and means,

how could he not have left countermeasures in place?

Even without any other countermeasures, eight Fifth Tier Barbarian Beasts, along with several Tier Four Barbaric Beasts, would not be so easy to deal with.

However, at this moment, Xuan Tianxin was unaware of this.

If he had known,

he probably would have taken action himself, even at the risk of alerting the Pure Yang Ancestor.

But alas,

he didn’t know. He couldn’t possibly imagine how the battle at the Carefree Sect a few days later would shake the entire world!
