Chapter 160: Shocked
“So it’s you, Lingyun! When did you get here?” Seeing the Great Elder appear, Canghai Old Demon was shocked.
Wasn’t Lingyun in the Primordial Holy Land? When did he come here, and since when were the two so close?
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! It wasn’t in vain; I’ve caught a big fish!” The Great Elder remembered Jiang Chen’s words and wasted no time so he acted immediately.
The All Heaven Mirror reflected the heavens, its divine light enveloping all.
In an instant.
Canghai Old Demon was frozen in place.
Following this.
The two Great Saints acted together, one destroying the soul, the other slashing the body.
Boom.
Under the combined attack, Canghai Old Demon was completely obliterated, his soul and body destroyed, leaving no trace.
The reason for his easy defeat was the joint effort of two Great Saints and the power of the All Heaven Mirror.
Earlier, the Great Elder had already activated the All Heaven Mirror, making it easy to deal with Canghai Old Demon.
“Let’s go! This place is dangerous!” After dealing with Canghai Old Demon, the Great Elder wasted no time, using the All Heaven Mirror to take them away.
In an instant.
They disappeared from the spot.
The next moment.
Millions of miles away, the three figures reappeared.
“You old fool, you should thank our Primordial Holy Land this time! If not for us, you’d have suffered great losses!” With the mission perfectly completed, the Great Elder was in high spirits, smiling at Zilei.
“I know, I know! Our Taiching Dao Sect is not ungrateful. We will remember this and repay the favor if needed!” Despite their occasional bickering, Zilei knew that without the Great Elder’s help, they would have faced severe consequences.
The worst outcome would have been the Saintess being taken.
“Qingyan thanks the senior for the rescue!” Zi Qingyan bowed, her tone slightly cold.
It wasn’t intentional; it was Zi Qingyan’s nature. As an Innate Dao Body, she was naturally attuned to the Dao, with a calm heart, rarely showing emotions.
“Lingyun did mention it! The Ancient Desolate Demon Realm wants Qingyan’s physique!”
“The Innate Dao Body refined with the Convergence Flower has the greatest comprehension, easily understanding any law or Dao!”
“They want to use this to break the seals of the ancient Great Emperor’s formations! These formations are weakening, and with Qingyan’s abilities, they might succeed!” Zilei said seriously.
The Great Elder had shared this with him.
“In that case, Qingyan, you must stay within the sect! Your talents are best suited for seclusion!” The Sect Master instructed firmly.
When it came to the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, he was very cautious. No faction wanted to return to the tragic days of a million years ago.
“Yes!” Zi Qingyan had no objections; she had always preferred staying in the sect.
If not for her master, the Sect Master, thinking she needed experience, she wouldn’t have ventured out. Otherwise, Zi Qingyan would have remained within the sect. In a way, she was quite a recluse.
Afterward, Zi Qingyan took her leave. Only Zilei and the Sect Master remained in the hall.
“What do you think the Primordial Holy Land is planning? And their methods recently are very different from before!”
“I’ve been investigating their movements and found traces of the Primordial Holy Land in the actions of the Immortal Divine Phoenix Clan!”
“I have a feeling the Primordial Holy Land is plotting something!” The Sect Master said seriously.
“The Undying Divine Phoenix Clan’s actions are linked to the Primordial Holy Land?” Zilei was shocked.
He was aware of the ancient imperial clan’s movements but didn’t know the Primordial Holy Land was involved. He thought it was just internal strife within the ancient imperial clans as such conflicts were common.
“Don’t you find the destruction of the Gu Family and the Soaring Snake Clan very similar? Both were colluding with the demons!”
“And I’ve heard that Huang Tian once collaborated with the Primordial Holy Land! What they did remains unknown!” The Sect Master said seriously.
Zilei pondered and said, “Thinking too much about it is pointless. The Primordial Holy Land won’t harm us!”
“And I believe all their actions are to prevent the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm’s revival! Whether there’s more to it is unclear!”
“But I think we should consider allying with the Primordial Holy Land. The Holy Son’s future is limitless. If he doesn’t fall, he will likely become an Emperor. Cooperation would benefit our sect greatly!”
“If we antagonize the Primordial Holy Land, you know the consequences!”
The Sect Master glanced at him, saying strangely, “What are you thinking? I’m not pushing the sect into a pit. I’m just curious about the Primordial Holy Land’s plans. But you’ve reminded me, cooperation could be beneficial!”
“But we must find the right opportunity. We can’t approach directly, or we’d seem inferior!”
Zilei laughed softly, “I think Qingyan should marry the Holy Son. With that bond, wouldn’t our relations be closer?”
“What nonsense! Impossible!” The Sect Master glared at him, “Qingyan is focused on the Dao. She can’t be distracted by such matters!”
