Chapter 53 - Why Don’t All of You Go to Hell Together?

If there was a word to describe the current mood of the Tianjue Sect Master, it would undoubtedly be:

Dumbfounded.

It was neither anger nor shock, nor any other emotion. It was most simply… confusion!

“What… what did you say?”

It was not until a few moments later that the Tianjue Sect Master reacted. His expression changed drastically and he was so enraged that his anger was reaching boiling point. “Damn it! What did you do to the young sect master…”

On the other end of the line, Feng Xia sneered without hesitation. “I beat him up. I beat him up so many times that my hand hurts.”

The Tianjue Sect Master was even more incensed and he shouted word by word, “No matter who you are, if you dare to make a move against the young sect master, we’ll hunt you down anywhere you go. Even a Primal Core Realm cultivator won’t be able to save you!”

The young sect master was technically his chosen successor.

When he retired from his current position, Young Master Mu would be the next Tianjue Sect Master!

However, in the blink of an eye, Young Master Mu had been captured. In addition, the other party was even bold enough to threaten him and ask him, the current Sect Master, to commit suicide on the spot!

How could the Tianjue Sect Master hold back his anger?

He not only transmitted what he just said using the secret technique, but also shouted it out loudly. The other Dao Platform Realm Champions on the altar could not help themselves from looking over.

“Tianjue brother… May I ask what you’re doing…”

“Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, you mentioned something about the young sect master just now. Did something happen to Young Master Mu of your sect?”

“So does it mean that… this kid is not lying?”

Some people looked bewildered, while others turned to look at the thin young man. However, there was one thing that they could not understand. What had happened to make the Tianjue Sect Master so furious in an instant?

Who was so bold as to beard the lion in its den!

“Something has happened to our sect’s young sect master.”

Squinting his eyes, the Tianjue Sect Master flicked his sleeves and said coldly, “However, there’s no need to worry, fellow practitioners. I know what to do in the face of such a big calamity.”

In front of everyone, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He then used the secret technique to transmit his voice again.

“Since you dare to attack our young master, you must be prepared to die. Then, tell me your name. I never kill unknown people!”

The voice using the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique at the other end was silent for a while.

Suddenly, the other party changed his tone and raised his voice by an octave, as if he was being chased by someone. He replied in an anxious manner.

“I’m Mo Yin, I’m Mo Yin. I need backup, I need backup! I’m being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator, but I’m not panicking at all because his horse isn’t as fast as mine!”

“…”

The Tianjue Sect Master’s face looked twisted as he crushed the jade pendant hanging at his waist.

“You’re testing my patience!”

“I’m Mo Yin, I’m Mo Yin. I need backup, I need backup! I’m being hunted down by a Primal Core Realm cultivator, but I’m not panicking at all because his horse isn’t as fast as mine!” the other party answered again.

“Very good… Really very good!”

The Tianjue Sect Master’s expression darkened and he stopped using the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique abruptly.

There was obviously no need to continue with this secret connection.

The Tianjue Sect Master thought to himself that even if he forced himself to maintain the connection, it would only make him angrier. He felt everyone’s gazes on him and he forced a smile. “Everyone, please wait for a moment. Let me confirm something.”

With that, he flew down from the Five Elements Altar and headed straight for the dense forest in the distance.

As it was one of the array foundations of the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation, there was an incomparably powerful spiritual energy force field surrounding the Five Elements Altar. Ordinary sound transmitting talismans and jades and other forms of devices would all be blocked by the spiritual energy force field, making them lose their ability to send messages.

This was something that even those Dao Platform Realm cultivators could not change.

The reason why the Tianjue Sect Master left the Five Elements Altar was to leave the area bounded by the spiritual energy force field so that he could confirm the safety of the young sect master!

On the Five Elements Altar, the group of people looked at one another but no one said anything to stop him.

“This operation… seems to run into a lot of variables.”

Someone said with a sigh, and all the Dao Platform Realm experts were stunned.

Come to think of it, he was right!

In the original plan, the various sects were supposed to come and lay the groundwork for the Xuanwu imperial court. They would use the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation to lock down the area and cut off all the escape routes of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

The whole area was supposed to become history within three days!

No one imagined that the old Sword King of the Thousand Autumn Valley was not as old as they thought and was able to kill three Dao Platform Realm cultivators as soon as he appeared. They had all been so frightened by what happened that they fled to this place and did not even dare to approach the Thousand Autumn Valley!

Then, they tried to use the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique to connect to the hidden spies of the imperial court in the Thousand Autumn Valley. In the end, there was something wrong with this step as well. Even the young sect master of the Tianjue Sect had gotten himself captured for some reason.

“I originally thought that I could use this opportunity to get some benefits from the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

The fat middle-aged man sighed, his eyes filled with yearning. “After all, there is all kinds of evidence which points to the fact that the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley left behind an inheritance in the valley which can lead to the attainment of levels beyond the Primal Core…”

Being Dao Platform Realm cultivators, all of them were very interested in this inheritance that could lead to levels beyond the Primal Core stage. It was not just them, even that person from the imperial court was interested in it!

“From the looks of it, I have to be more cautious and to watch out for karma. When that person arrives, I’d better leave as soon as possible.” He shook his head and whispered to himself, “The Thousand Autumn Valley is still a place of trouble…”

Right at this moment, they suddenly heard a series of angry shouts coming from the distant forest.

“Bastard!”

“How dare you!”

“No matter what you are… Ah—!!”

However, at the end of the last sentence, it suddenly turned into a scream.

When the scream died down, the air instantly fell silent. As the group of Dao Platform Realm Champions stood on the altar, they could not help their bodies from stiffening. They looked towards the forest in the distance as if they were looking at a monster that devoured living beings.

“W-What’s going on?”

“The fellow practitioner from Tianjue is…”

At this moment, the Tianjue Sect Master’s exasperated voice was heard again as a torrent of magical power erupted. A shout came from the depths of the forest again, “Bastard! I’ll fight you to the death!!”

Boom!

After a violent explosion, the forest returned to a state of silence.

Immediately after, they could hear a man chanting. His voice was completely different from the Tianjue Sect Master. It sounded younger and was full of vitality.

“The great gushing river with piling waves flows towards the east, …”

“Away it carries gallant souls of the remote bygone days!”

A figure walked out of the forest leisurely. His expression was calm and composed and there was a smile on his face that felt like a spring breeze. He cupped his hands and greeted the people on the altar.

“The first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley sends his greetings to all fellow practitioners.”

The first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley?

Just when the group of people was still feeling shocked, they heard Feng Xia continue speaking as he smiled.

“The Tianjue Sect Master is already on his way to hell. Why don’t all of you go together with him?”

As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent!
