Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

For a moment, everyone stopped fighting.

Was this the man before them? The legendary, elusive Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect?

The Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect was like a legend. He had never shown his face, nor had he ever fought anyone. But rumors about him constantly circulated throughout the Eastern Profound Domain, and the experts of the major sects were all incredibly wary of him.

Everyone had only one impression of him: mysterious and powerful.

Xia Qianhe, Bai Xu, and the others couldn’t help but gasp as they looked at the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect, their hearts tightening in apprehension.

Tangg Guanzhong’s eyes narrowed. ”You old fox,” he said. ”You’ve finally come out. It’s been twenty years. You haven’t shown your face in twenty years, have you?”

The Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect smiled and shook his head. ”You’re mistaken. I haven’t been seen in fifty years.”

”Fifty years?” Tangg Guanzhong repeated in confusion.

”Tangg Guanzhong, you and Yum Tianyang are truly prodigies of your generation. It’s a pity,” the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect said, shaking his head with a smile. ”Now that I’ve appeared, do you think you’re any match for me?”

”Hahahaha!” Hearing the Sect Leader’s words, Tangg Guanzhong threw his head back and roared with laughter. ”You think you’re a match for *me*?”

As he spoke, Tangg Guanzhong stomped his foot.

BOOM!

In that instant, it felt as though heaven and earth themselves were trembling. Tangg Guanzhong’s aura surged to its absolute peak.

”Is that so?” The Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect revealed a peculiar smile.

It was a smile tinged with an eerie, inscrutable quality.

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Situ Yun, who had been locked in combat nearby, abruptly spun around, thrusting her sword directly at the imperious Tangg Guanzhong.

Tangg Guanzhong seemed not to notice, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

Her speed was so breathtaking that no one had time to react.

’This is bad!’

The next moment, the hearts of Xia Qianhe, Hua Lie, Bai Xu, Chen Baili, Zhang Zihou... everyone from the four sects hammered wildly in their chests, as if they had leaped into their throats.

If Tangg Guanzhong died, they would all die! It was an inevitable conclusion.

A cold, beautiful smile graced Situ Yun’s exquisite face. In an instant, she was before Tangg Guanzhong, her sword just an inch from piercing his heart.

CLANG!

But in the next instant, her smile froze on her face.

Following the blade with her eyes, she saw that two fingers had lightly caught her sword.

”Yum Tianyang!”

Situ Yun hastily retracted her sword and stared at the owner of those fingers, crying out in shock.

Everyone stared, stunned, at the man standing behind Tangg Guanzhong.

Yum Tianyang?

’How did Yum Tianyang get here?’

’Why is he here?’

Everyone’s mind went blank, completely at a loss for what to do.

Yum Tianyang smiled. ”Brother Tangg, I’m not too late, am I?”

”Not at all. You’re right on time,” Tangg Guanzhong replied with a faint smile.

Ouyang saw him and shouted in disbelief, ”Yum Tianyang, how are you here? Weren’t you in seclusion on Forget-Life Peak, cultivating the Trapped Dragon Ascending Heaven Formation?”

Yum Tianyang shook his head with a smile. ”That was merely a Blinding Technique.”

Tangg Guanzhong relaxed his posture slightly and asked, ”How did it go? Is everything taken care of?”

”Senior Brother Zhang has annihilated the eight Elders of Siyun Mansion and leveled Siyun Cave with a single sword strike. Meanwhile, Senior Brother Qii Yue and Martial Uncle Liu of Life Peak should have already razed Yanxu Mountain.” Yum Tianyang paused, then smiled nonchalantly. ”They’re all on their way here now.”

Yum Tianyang’s words were calm and measured, but they struck the members of the Heaven-Burying Sect like a sledgehammer. The color drained from their faces, and their breathing grew ragged.

Hearing this, Ghost Child froze. He immediately abandoned his fight with Hua Lie and turned to Yum Tianyang, roaring, ”Yum Tianyang, what did you just say? Say that again!”

Zhang Bubai roared with even greater fury, ”YUM! TIAN! YANG! I’LL KILL YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!”

At that moment, the two were consumed by rage, having completely lost their minds.

SWOOSH!

Yum Tianyang didn’t answer Ghost Child. He lunged forward, moving like a phantom to appear beside Situ Yun. Before she could react, his hand clamped tightly around her neck. The Primordial Qi throughout her body was instantly sealed, leaving her completely unable to move.

The Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect looked at Tangg Guanzhong and Yum Tianyang, his voice cold. ”You knew all along that Situ Yun was a traitor?”

Yum Tianyang laughed. ”That’s right. She exposed herself seven years ago. We’ve known ever since the previous Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak died and she took over.”

”I...” Situ Yun stared at Yum Tianyang, her eyes wide with disbelief.

The situation had reversed dramatically once again, and everyone’s heart began to pound with trepidation.

Hua Lie quietly let out a sigh of relief. He, too, had been kept in the dark about this plan, but he felt no resentment toward the two of them now. Perhaps what they did was the right call.

But then, his gaze on Situ Yun grew complicated. ’How could she be a spy?’ This was something Hua Lie had never imagined.

Ouyang’s expression was as dark as a thundercloud. ”How did you find out about our Heaven-Burying Sect’s meticulous plan?” he asked.

Just then, Wen Qingye slowly sheathed his sword, a faint smile touching his lips. ”Did you think Taiyi Pavilion was the only one with spies in the Celestial Profound Sect?”

”A mole?”

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, both the Heaven-Burying Sect’s Sect Leader and Ouyang felt a cold chill.

Yum Tianyang looked at the Sect Leader and laughed heartily. ”Brother Tangg, it’s been years since we’ve fought side-by-side, hasn’t it?”

”Today, we can finally fulfill a wish we’ve held for over twenty years! Hahaha!” Tangg Guanzhong roared with laughter.

”Hahaha!”

The two of them laughed, their voices full of heroic spirit. Everyone watched the pair as they stood tall against the wind, their own expressions complicated.

Such charisma, such presence. The Celestial Profound Dual Pride were truly worthy of being called the pinnacle of their generation.

This was their era.

CRACK!

Yum Tianyang’s hand tightened forcefully. The look of terror on Situ Yun’s face froze, and the light faded from her eyes.

Yum Tianyang released his grip, letting Situ Yun’s beautiful form fall to the earth. He then turned to the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect and Ouyang, smiling. ”Alright. Now, it’s your turn.”

But the Sect Leader of the Heaven-Burying Sect suddenly roared.

”Everyone, on my command—retreat!”

As soon as he gave the order, the Sect Leader shot backward, fleeing.

”Don’t let that old fox get away!”

A cold glint flashed in Yum Tianyang’s eyes as he shot forward in pursuit.

Only then did everyone realize that Yum Tianyang’s speed was in no way inferior to Tangg Guanzhong’s—he was as fast as a bolt of lightning, as startling as a bird in flight.

BANG!

Yum Tianyang threw a punch at Zhang Bubai, who was scrambling to escape. Zhang Bubai was in a complete panic, his only thought to flee. Already heavily injured and with his strength greatly diminished, he was utterly obliterated by Yum Tianyang’s single blow.
