Chapter 367: Whose Life Do You Plan to Take?
“Who?” Yan Tianzhi noticed the woman who had appeared beside Lu Yang.
He had been focused on the battle high in the sky and hadn’t paid attention to Lu Yang’s situation. How had a person suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye?
Lan Ting and Bai Ming reacted similarly to Yan Tianzhi, completely unaware that Lu Yang had just used the Shape-Imitating Fist to summon Eldest Senior Sister.
“Acting Sect Leader?” Lan Ting had seen Eldest Senior Sister before when she accompanied her master to a meeting at the Dao Seeking Sect, and during that time, Eldest Senior Sister had even tried to tie a red thread between her and Lu Yang, suggesting marriage.
Afterward, her master had told her that Yun Zhi was the Acting Sect Leader of Dao Seeking Sect, with a cultivation that was deep and unfathomable.
Bai Ming had also seen Yun Zhi at an exchange event between the Five Elements Sect and Dao Seeking Sect. He had heard from his master that Dao Seeking Sect’s Eldest Senior Sister was considered the top talent of her generation within the immortal sects and was someone not to be provoked.
Yan Tianzhi, however, didn’t recognize Eldest Senior Sister. He had heard that Dao Seeking Sect had changed sect leaders, but he didn’t know who had taken the position.
Meng Jingzhou smiled confidently, suddenly feeling that the appearance of the red-robed Tribulation Crossing Stage expert wasn’t such a big deal anymore. He even thought that if he had to fight this expert, he could manage it.
“This is our Eldest Senior Sister, the Acting Sect Leader of Dao Seeking Sect, Yun Zhi,” Meng Jingzhou introduced solemnly.
“With her here, this place is absolutely safe!”
Lan Ting and the others didn’t quite understand.
As far as they knew, Dao Seeking Sect’s Acting Sect Leader had a cultivation level similar to Daoist Non-Speaker, or if they were being bold, perhaps even at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
If Dao Seeking Sect’s Eldest Senior Sister were to fight the Tribulation Crossing Stage expert in the sky, the aftershocks alone would overturn mountains and seas, even destroy the heavens and earth. How could they possibly be safe?
Yun Zhi paid no attention to the group, her eyes quietly fixed on the battle high above, her face expressionless, giving no hint of her thoughts.
Suddenly, Lan Ting noticed that Xia Qun, who had been chattering non-stop, had fallen silent and was trembling uncontrollably.
“Lord Xia, are you alright?”
Xia Qun gulped, swallowing with great difficulty as he forced a smile. “I-I’m fine. See how happy I am? The State Governor will be saved.”
Yun Zhi turned her gaze to Xia Qun. “You know me?”
Faced with Yun Zhi’s question, Xia Qun didn’t dare not answer. “When my family’s patriarch left the ancestral grounds to personally greet Senior, I happened to be nearby.”
Xia Qun couldn’t help but feel afraid. His family’s patriarch was an unparalleled figure in history, with few able to match him. He had never even heard of the patriarch leaving the ancestral grounds before.
Who could have guessed that the day he went to visit the patriarch, he would witness the patriarch leaving to personally welcome this otherworldly beautiful Senior from Dao Seeking Sect?
The significance of this Senior from the Dao Seeking Sect was clear.
Yun Zhi nodded. “You and I are about the same age; there’s no need to call me Senior. Just address me as Daoist Yun Zhi.”
Xia Qun nodded in agreement, but he didn’t dare actually call her that.
“No wonder the National Teacher warned me to be cautious of the Supreme Sword projection. It turns out it can temporarily nullify rules!”
Crack.
A crisp sound rang out. The red-clothed figure looked down to find that the jade pendant hanging around his neck had shattered. This pendant was a life-saving treasure, which meant that the Supreme Sword projection had already killed him once!
The red-clothed figure was enraged but laughed bitterly. “Now is not the time to tear apart relations with The Great Xia. I was planning to spare your life, but since you’ve forced my hand and injured my body, you will all die here, along with the cultivators below!”
As the red-clothed figure finished speaking, the air grew heavy with an indescribable sense of death, making it difficult to even breathe.
Vibrant flowers bloomed at his feet, spreading across the sky in an instant. He clenched his fist, and the flowers withered. From the decayed flower buds, a small light flew out, condensing into a long whip in his hand.
Crack!
He flicked the whip, and space itself shattered.
The State Governor’s face changed drastically. This was a treasure capable of breaking space. Even if he could withstand it, the cultivators below wouldn’t survive such an attack.
The two ancient cultivators, closest to the red-clothed figure, trembled uncontrollably. They knew just how terrifying this man could be when enraged. Back during the Great Yu era, he had wiped out entire cities to quell his fury, earning him the title “Crimson Calamity.”
“You will all die here!” The red-clothed figure roared, his whip crackling with lightning. The entire space trembled, as if it were about to collapse.
The cultivators below were filled with despair, their hearts consumed by fear and panic. The destructive power they now faced was beyond anything they had ever imagined.
The red-clothed figure laughed maniacally, swinging his whip forcefully.
“Hmm?”
He raised his hand to swing the whip but found that his arm wouldn’t move.
“Something’s wrong—not just my arm!”
He realized in terror that his entire body was immobilized.
“Spatial confinement!”
He was an expert in spatial manipulation with his whip, a treasure capable of tearing space apart. How could he be trapped by someone using spatial confinement?
When had this happened?
A graceful figure appeared before him, cold as frost. She spoke slowly, her icy eyes devoid of any emotion.
“Whose life do you plan to take here?”
