These words were imbued with spiritual power, which was nourishing the protective shield around them.

Moreover, from time to time, sparkling spiritual energy would emerge from these characters, leaping about like little elves.

It is very beautiful.

However, just as they were admiring and playing with it...

The sky suddenly changed.

The three of them looked up at the sky simultaneously.

An elderly man dressed in a black and white Taoist robe rushed forward, followed by hundreds of others in similar robes, all hurrying to the scene.

They appeared on the mountain next to Yinmo Mountain, but did not head straight for Yinmo Mountain.

As soon as the old Taoist appeared, he floated in the air, stretched out his fingers, and began to calculate something.

A moment later, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. His face instantly turned deathly pale.

"What's wrong, Sect Master?"

His subordinate, seeing his expression, felt a chill in his heart and quickly stepped forward to ask what was wrong.

"Xu Tian... is dead."

Those around him trembled upon hearing this.

Xu Tian was once ranked among the top three experts in the sect. Although he has been missing for ten thousand years, there are now fewer than a hundred people in the sect whose cultivation level surpasses his former level.

How could such a powerful master die so easily?

Moreover, he died in the short time between the sect leader calculating his location and arriving at his destination.

They were surprised.

"Could it be that someone plotted against Elder Xutian, capturing him and then concealing his cultivation level?"

"I can't help but ask," Xu Kong asked from the side.

"It's not impossible."

These words made Xu Yu feel a little better.

He stretched out his fingers again and counted them in his palm.

He then pointed to Mount Yinmo to the side.

"His last breath was taken away in this place."

Following his directions, the group arrived at Mount Yinmo.

They saw the adorable trio watching them from the top of Mount Yinmo.

He asked loudly after a moment.

Have you ever seen an old man dressed like me?

He described Xu Tian's physical appearance to the three of them.

The three of them dared not utter a sound.

The guy he's talking about is the one who was just killed by Senior Big Black...

What should I do? If I say I've seen him, he'll definitely ask where that person is.

Even if they say they've never seen it, they can still figure out something from it, so this lie obviously won't work.

Then let's just get it over with and say I killed him!

"I've met you."

"That's what Fire Peak said."

Without realizing it, he pulled out the Wu Kingdom Divine Sign and the divine sword from his storage ring. These were the two strongest weapons in their sect.

Where are they?

"Dead!"

Fire Mound mustered his courage and answered loudly.

"He wants to wipe out our sect..."

Upon hearing the word "death," he shuddered.

He then felt a little dizzy and lightheaded, but he still forced himself to sit up and asked.

"You killed him?"

"That's right, we should take responsibility for our actions. We were the ones who killed him. He was the one who first threatened to wipe out our sect!"

Big Black had told him not to mention his deeds in front of others, a point that Hizaka kept firmly in mind.

However, they have already seen their senior; the senior has returned.

Therefore, their every move should be observed at this moment.

His absence suggests that he is testing the courage of several people.

Despite the strength of their opponent, they weren't too afraid because of the strong support of their senior.

"fart!"

Upon hearing what Huozhong said, he was initially skeptical.

Although they were far apart, he could see the middle-aged man's strength at a glance.

He was merely a spirit, someone even immortals couldn't touch. His junior brother didn't need to lift a finger; he could simply unleash his cultivation to summon a thundercloud and kill him.

Yet here he is, spouting nonsense and causing the death of his junior brother.

"Sect Master, look at their sect's protective shield."

Xu Kong discovered something fishy.

He stepped forward to remind the sect leader.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the Heaven-Returning Shield, a technique taught only to inner disciples of their sect. Moreover, his junior brother was extremely skilled in this area and had even created the Heaven-Returning Shield skill using it.

Xu Tian was once a renowned master of both offense and defense in their region.

How could such an insignificant sect obtain the Heaven-Returning Cover technique researched by their junior brother?

Could what they said be true?

A sudden pang of pain shot through my heart.

"Where did you get this Heaven-Returning Cover?"

"The Heaven-Returning Cover? You mean this? The one you said you snatched from Xu Tian!"

After exchanging a few words, Fire Mound's fear of Sudden Moment lessened. His tone and movements returned to normal.

At this moment, he also took out Xu Tian's storage ring from his storage ring and showed it to Xu Yu.

It is indeed my junior brother's storage ring.

He was instantly enraged. He unleashed divine power, which he aimed directly at the head of the fire mound.

Despite being protected by this large shield, the Fire Mound still couldn't overcome its conditioned reflexes when it saw the attack.

Turn around and give way.

coax.

The attack, combined with the air's protective shield, exploded in mid-air, turning into a dazzling display of fireworks.

The Return to Heaven is not just a protective shield; it is a spherical object formed by the continuous rotation of divine power.

Furthermore, it will spin at high speed when it senses an attack, thus deflecting the opponent's attack.

Their sect's "Return to Heaven" technique incorporates the power of the words mentioned by their predecessors, adding another layer of protection.
