Li Xuntian carried his hands behind his back and stepped forward. With a wave of his sleeves, the gray robed man's hat fell off and his face instantly appeared in front of everyone.

When Sword Sect and all the elders of the Sword Sect saw the face of the grey-robed man, they all shouted out a name at the same time.

"Lin Hao, you … How is that possible? "

Lin Jian looked at the gray-robed man with a face full of disbelief.

Others might not recognize Lin Hao, but how could Lin Jian not recognize him?

This was one of his Sword Sect s from a thousand years ago!

A thousand years ago, when the Heavenly Imperial Palace opened, the other party had not returned since they entered the Heavenly Imperial Palace.

He had thought that the other person had died long ago … but he hadn't expected that he would be able to see him again after a thousand years.

Yet it seemed to become much stronger.

"You're actually still alive!"

Lin Jian, who had reacted to the situation, excitedly went up. He originally wanted to ask the other party how he had been through all these years.

However, as soon as he got close, the other party stabbed his sword at him.

Lin Jian didn't think that he would do such a thing; he simply didn't have time to react.

However, before the opponent could even make a move, Li Xuntian, who had been carefully observing him, raised his hand and pointed at him. With a pfft sound, a bloody hole appeared on his forehead.

The sword tip that had stabbed into Lin Jian's chest powerlessly fell to the ground. Lin Jian, whose face had turned deathly pale from fright, sat on the ground with his heart beating extremely quickly.

"Sect Leader, are you alright?"

The Sword Sect Elder hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up as she asked with concern. As for Talisman Sect, Lin Yin, who was looking at him, her heart trembled.

"What is going on?"

Lin Jian said with lingering fear in his heart. Almost, his several thousand years of cultivation had all gone to waste;

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in dismay. A trace of doubt flashed across their eyes.

Li Xuntian held onto Lin Hao's corpse tightly, his expression becoming heavy. He raised his hand and sucked, causing a ball of black gas s to spill out from Lin Hao's head.

The black gas overflowed, and immediately released a baleful aura.

Everyone's body shook and their pupils rapidly shrank.

"This is …"

"This is a Yin Spirit, Ghost sect Branch... It looks like he was controlled by the people of the Ghost sect, which was why he killed you! "

Li Xuntian slowly said to everyone.

Then his expression suddenly became serious.

He said to them in a clear voice, "Everyone, pay attention. Our whereabouts have been exposed. Be wary of anyone who is familiar with you. He might not be the same person as he was before!"

Hearing Li Xuntian's words, everyone was enlivened, they all understood what he meant.

Of course, only Li Xuntian knew the truth.

The reason he had told them this was because he wanted to use this opportunity to alert them and stabilize their morale.

"Alright, everyone give your all to break through, this Sect Leader will protect you!"

Li Xuntian then said something that surprised everyone.

In reality, Li Xuntian's target was the Heavenly Imperial Palace.

He was not in a hurry to find those resources.

Now that these people had achieved a breakthrough, his chances of winning would increase.

Furthermore, his cultivation had always been stuck at the middle stage of the Transcending Mortality Stage. If he wanted to advance further, he would not be able to do so, even if the Heavenly Imperial Palace s were rich in Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

"Whiz!"

A shadow flashed.

A gray-robed man, carrying two people, suddenly returned to the main hall where the colorful-robed, jade-crowned man was.

Before he even opened his mouth, a dignified and low voice came from above the divine platform.

"Why did you bring two people to this sovereign's place?"

As soon as the voice came out, the gray-robed person put down the two of them and respectfully kowtowed towards the divine altar.

"Sky Sovereign, this kid knows the Soul Suppressing Technique!"
