As the light emanating from the stone hall became more and more brilliant, a wave of pressure began to rise from within.Su Jingzhen then saw all the Tortoise Sect disciples gathered around the stone hall, all of them kneeling down.
Each of them was filled with fear and trembling.
As time passed, the pressure grew stronger.
Rays of light began to rise above the ancient stone hall.
All the mysterious runes on the stone hall lit up.
Gradually, they constructed a phantom altar, or rather, a phantom array, in the void.
“Suzhen, is this their summoning array?
Why is it so illusory?”
Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen’s expression was filled with confusion.
Bai Suzhen’s voice suddenly sounded at his ear.
“This should only be a projection. It seems that this Qingzhou Tortoise Sect is still too insignificant for them.”
Bai Suzhen’s tone was filled with contempt.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen was once again taken aback: “So what should we do now?”
His plan was to use Bai Suzhen’s power to eliminate some of the people from the upstream sect of the Tortoise Sect.
If they were just projecting, what was the point?
“That’s easy, you just go out and make their real bodies appear, right?” Bai Suzhen said again.
“Ah? I make their real bodies come out?” Su Jingzhen was even more confused.
Seeing his dazed expression, Bai Suzhen was a bit speechless: “You’re usually pretty smart, why did you suddenly become so stupid at this moment?
When their projection comes, just destroy it. The Tortoise Sect might not be the top tier in the Luo River Valley, still, their strength cannot be underestimated.
The people in their sect are all proud and arrogant. If a projection was destroyed in the uncivilized land of Qingzhou, it would be a great humiliation for them.
Of course, they wouldn’t let it go.”
With Bai Suzhen’s words, Su Jingzhen understood.
He didn’t say much and walked directly out of the hidden darkness.
He did not try to hide his aura, and the corners of his mouth still had that warm smile.
He walked directly to the stone hall in front of them.
As soon as he appeared, all the Tortoise Sect disciples around noticed him.
Each of them had a hint of confusion in their expressions.
Most of the Tortoise Sect disciples had never seen Su Jingzhen in person, and his name was just a legend to them.
“Who is this guy? I can sense a killing intent from him.”
“Is he a disciple of our Tortoise Sect? Why is he so arrogant in front of the people from the main sect?”
“No, look at his appearance, he seems a bit like the legendary one?”
After watching Su Jingzhen carefully for a while, the Nascent Soul and Golden Core level cultivators of the Tortoise Sect showed expressions of horror.
They seemed to remember something.
The next moment, the Tortoise Sect disciples who were blocking Su Jingzhen’s path scattered, without even daring to move.
“Is it really the legendary Smiling Ashura?
But wait, how did he find our Tortoise Sect and come here unhindered?”
There were still disciples with such doubts, their expressions terrified.
At the same time, their energy had already begun to circulate, ready to flee at any moment.
There had been rumors before that when the Stone Hall disturbance occurred, it was the day of great disaster for their Tortoise Sect.
Now, Su Jingzhen had directly reached their usual forbidden area. Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Wasn’t this a sign of impending doom?
At a time when the sect’s survival was at stake, if the enemy’s strength was too overwhelming, these disciples had no intention of sacrificing their lives for the sect.
The identity of being a Tortoise Sect disciple was something they were happy to accept when it brought convenience.
But when that identity brought danger,
What is the Tortoise Sect? I do not know.
When Su Jingzhen stood at the entrance of the stone hall, the aura inside had reached its peak.
From this position, Su Jingzhen could clearly see the situation inside the stone hall.
He saw the yellow light on the altar, which was blinding and impossible to look at directly.
And within it, a figure was slowly taking shape.
As the light gradually dissipated, a slightly ethereal figure stood on the altar.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, whose aura was at the late stage of Divine Intent Realm.
His robe also bore the emblem of the Tortoise Sect.
His expression was cold and indifferent.
Even though he was only a projection, he exuded an unparalleled arrogance.
“This is the Qingzhou Branch Sect, why did you summon me?
Do you know the consequences of an arbitrary summoning?”
As he spoke, his cold gaze fell on Xuan Yuan and the other person, who were still kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.
The pressure of his late Divine Intent stage was also pressing down on them.
However, Xuan Yuan managed to speak under this pressure: “I am reporting to the grand master of the main sect that our Qingzhou Tortoise Sect has encountered a disaster.
The giant tortoise that has been nurtured and grown in our Qingzhou since the founding of the sect has finally reached the sixth level.”
Upon hearing this, the black-robed middle-aged man’s eyes clearly flashed with joy.
A sixth-tier beast might not be much in the Luo River Valley, but the bloodline of the giant tortoise was special and could play an important role.
But before he could ask more, Xuan Yuan continued: “But today, a sudden disaster happened, and the giant turtle was killed and its flesh has been roasted!”
Xuan Yuan described what he had seen to the projection.
The expression on his face suddenly darkened.
He had been quite pleased to hear that the giant turtle had reached the sixth level, but now this was the situation.
“Who dares to be so bold? Take me there!”
If it were just other people from the Qingzhou Tortoise Sect who were having problems, he might not even bother and just withdraw the projection.
However, since the giant tortoise had reached the sixth level and was being killed for no reason, he had to intervene.
As his words were about to fall out, Su Jingzhen stepped directly into the hall.
“Your sect’s giant turtle tasted good, do you have any higher level ones?”
Su Jingzhen’s aura was at its peak, and the Heavenly Dragon Scale was activated.
His gaze was calm as he looked at the projection on the altar.
There was a faint smile on his face.
“It’s you!”
Seeing Su Jingzhen directly enter the stone hall, Xuan Yuan and the other person were even more terrified.
This time, they still hadn’t noticed anything.
Su Jingzhen nodded with a smile, as if greeting an old friend: “Yes, it’s me.”
“I ask you, do you have any higher-level giant tortoises in your sect?
No other meaning, just wishing for some.”
His words were filled with unprecedented provocation.
The man at the altar frowned.
Then his killing intent rose to its peak.
The pressure of his late Divine Intent stage suddenly pressed down on Su Jingzhen.
“A mere uncivilized barbarian dares to be arrogant in front of me.
Today, I will make you beg for death!”
As far as he was concerned, the arrival of his projection in the uncivilized land of Qingzhou meant that he could rule everything and settle all matters.
He was the absolute ruler, above all.
And Su Jingzhen’s contempt and arrogance in front of him made him furious.
He immediately extended a hand from the altar and grabbed Su Jingzhen.
This claw had a rather strong restraining power.
He didn’t intend to kill Su Jingzhen with the first strike.
He wanted to fulfill his earlier words of making Su Jingzhen beg for death.
