Sunset Sect.

Located on top of a huge mountain, clouds and mist can only linger on the mountainside.

At this time, a huge curtain of light covered the entire mountain. This was the Sunset Sect’s protective formation.

There was a gloomy atmosphere within the formation.

The life tablets of the eight elders in the Divine Bridge Realm were broken, which completely alarmed the top leaders of the Sunset Sect.

The remaining three elders and the sect leader discussed it and made a decisive decision.

He packed up all the supplies of the sect, took those talented disciples with him, escaped from the mountain gate, and rushed to the capital to join the Qianyuan royal family.

But before they finished packing.

Kong Nian was the first to arrive at Sunset Sect before the others.

After he used his true self to attack the mountain gate, the sect protection formation was activated in time.

This prevented countless lives from being lost.

Seeing this, Kong Nian stopped.

When everyone saw the majestic statue outside the protective formation, their hearts were filled with despair.

With a Dharma statue blocking the door, they were already trapped.

Now all their struggles and efforts are in vain.

If before, more than a dozen elders from the Divine Bridge Realm were still there, they could have fought against them with the help of the sect protection formation.

But now in the entire Sunset Sect, there are only four practitioners in the Divine Bridge Realm.

Even with the help of the sect protection formation, the four people at the Divine Bridge Realm were powerless against the Dharma Realm cultivator.

The leader of the Sunset Sect stood behind the sect protection formation and saluted respectfully towards Kong Nian in mid-air.

"Senior Kong Nian, can you please show some mercy and let us live?"

Kong Nian stood in mid-air, saying nothing.

Seeing that Kong Nian didn't respond, he could only bite the bullet and speak again.

"Senior Kong Nian, seeing that there are people of the same path, can you let my Sunset Sect keep a few seeds so that my Sunset Sect's inheritance will continue?"

Kong Nian, who had displayed his true self, heard these words and spoke slowly.

"Preserve the seeds? Decades ago, the most outstanding disciple of my lineage, Tianshou Peak, was assassinated by you guys!"

"Why didn't you leave seeds for my Tianshou Peak lineage?"

"I..." the leader of Sunset Sect spoke quickly, but was interrupted by Kong Nian before he finished speaking.

"There is no need to quibble in front of me, and I won't listen to your quibbling!"

"I only trust my judgment!"

Hearing Kong Nian's firm words, the leader of the Sunset Sect remained silent.

The great elder beside him said excitedly: "Master, rush out and fight him!"

"Fight? How?" The leader of Sunset Sect said with a wry smile, "He is a Dharma-Aspect Master, a master who has condensed his true self. Even Wang Xiao and his three Dharma-Aspect Masters seem to have been defeated. What qualifications do we have to fight?"

"What should we do? Are we just going to wait for death?" The Great Elder said excitedly, "Once he makes a move, can this sect protection formation stop a Dharma-Appearance Master in his prime?"

"It can only delay for a while at best. The sect protection formation will eventually be broken!"

"He is not taking action now, but is just waiting for Lu Qingshan and others."

"Once they arrive, it will be time for Kong Nian to take action and break the formation."

The leader of the Sunset Sect spoke slowly.

"It's better to delay it for a while. I have already sent a message to the Qianyuan Imperial Family. They want us to hold on. Reinforcements are on the way."

"Reinforcements? Who is coming, King Shenwei or the other princes?"

"No?"

"Didn't say? Then will there really be reinforcements?" The Great Elder couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Everyone remained silent after hearing this.

Suddenly, another elder said, "It would have been great if Jiang Yuan could have been accepted into the Sunset Sect back then."

“Without Jiang Yuan, Kong Nian can’t get the Longevity Fruit, nor can he break through the Dharma Realm.”

"With Jiang Yuan here, today's situation may be completely reversed."

"We are the ones who are going to block Taixuanmen, not Taixuanmen blocking us!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi on the side pursed her lips, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that everyone in the sect who knew about this was blaming her.

The same was true for the sect leader next to him, but he didn't say it out loud.

The disaster that the Sunset Sect is facing today is not because the Sunset Sect has defected to the Qianyuan royal family.

Nor was it because they had been secretly eliminating the young geniuses from the surrounding major sects over the years, thus bringing disaster upon themselves.

The current situation is only because of Jiang Yuan.

Because of Jiang Yuan, Kong Nian, who was in his twilight years and about to die, was able to obtain a longevity fruit.

It was also because Kong Nian ate the longevity fruit that he was able to extend his life by a hundred years, return to his youth, and successfully break through the Dharma Realm.

If Jiang Yuan had been accepted into the Sunset Sect by her back then, all of this good fortune would have been out of reach for the Taixuan Sect.

The Sunset Sect will also take off with the joining of Jiang Yuan.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zhi said in a low voice: "Today's disaster is all my fault. I was blind back then and didn't see Jiang Yuan's talent."

"That led to him joining Taixuan Sect instead of joining Luori Sect."

"If it weren't for me, he would have joined the Sunset Sect, and this situation wouldn't have happened today."

The leader of the Sunset Sect sighed slightly.

"It's no use talking about this now!"

"Our mountain gate is now blocked, and no one can leave the sect."

"If we want to survive, we can only hold on as long as we can and wait for the support of the Qianyuan Imperial Family."

Half a day later.

With Lu Qingshan and others accelerating at full speed, the flying boat soon arrived at the mountain gate of the Sunset Sect.

Looking at the light curtain below that covers the entire Sunset Sect.

Liu Jie exclaimed: "It's really spectacular! Master Kong is so domineering! One person blocks a sect!"

"Just by standing there, he was like an ancient god, causing the Sunset Sect to immediately raise a protective formation."

Liu Rushi was also amazed: "Yes! But all this is because of Jiang Yuan. Who could have thought that the young man we picked up in the ancient forest in the barren mountains back then could cause the destruction of the Sunset Sect!"

Liu Jie looked a little sad: "In this case, it is still Senior Sister Tan Tai's credit. If Senior Sister Tan Tai hadn't left a token for Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang wouldn't have found my Tai Xuan Sect."

Liu Rushi also nodded, agreeing: "Yes! This may be the greatest contribution of Senior Sister Tan Tai in her life. It's a pity that Senior Sister Tan Tai died in Lizhu Cave Heaven."

Upon seeing the arrival of Taixuan Sect’s large army, the Sunset Sect immediately fell into chaos.

The elders at this time had no intention of paying attention to the commotion below, and their hearts were filled with dead silence.

Because so far, they have not seen any reinforcements arriving.

The message sent by the communication jade talisman fell on deaf ears and there was no response.

After a moment.

The thirteen elders and the chief of the Divine Bridge Realm of Taixuan Sect all stood in mid-air.

The Yuanshen Dharma Image displayed by Kong Nian was also stimulated to the extreme, and the Yuanshen Dharma Image was filled with golden outlines all over the body.

It is over 1,600 feet tall.

Like a god walking out of ancient times.

"Uncle Kong, please break the formation!"

Lu Qingshan bowed.

"good!"

The soul opened its mouth and the words that came out were like thunder.

"Everyone, hold on tight. We must not let the formation break! Hold on a little longer. Reinforcements will be arriving soon."

The leader of Sunset Sect shouted.

Hearing the word "reinforcements", the inner disciples at the base of the formation shouted.

"Yes, I will obey the order of the master!"

They used all their strength to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies and poured it into the base of the formation.

Under their urging, the light curtain became more solid.

Boom——

As a punch landed, the light curtain of the formation was like a stone falling on calm water, causing ripples.

Inside the formation, several inner disciples were vomiting blood and their breaths were weak.

The blood and energy of several elders surged, and the pressure they endured was far greater than that of the other inner disciples.

Lu Qingshan also shouted: "All elders, all leaders, join me in attacking!"

In an instant.

The thirteen elders and the chief of the Divine Bridge Realm used their strongest offensive techniques and attacked the Sunset Sect's protective formation together.

Kong Nian's face was grim, and the second punch also landed heavily.

All the attacks landed simultaneously on the protective formation in front of them.

Boom——

There was a loud noise that resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, and the formation shook violently, as if a huge rock had fallen horizontally, causing violent ripples that spread in all directions.

puff--

One by one, the inner disciples vomited blood and their breath became weak.

Their internal organs could not withstand the impact and exploded one after another.

Blood also flowed from the corners of the mouths of several elders.

There was despair in their eyes.

At this moment, the third attack came.

Boom——

With a loud bang, the formation shattered like a mirror.

The formation bases also exploded one after another.

Under this impact, several elders retreated one after another, leaving a pit more than three feet deep on the ground.

Lu Qingshan looked at the broken formation below, his eyes filled with indifference.

"kill!"

He drank calmly.

Below, a blue figure rushed towards the elders.

Lu Qingshan recognized this person, the deacon elder of the Sunset Sect, Gongsun Zhi, who was in charge of the sect's laws.

This person was filled with a desire to die, and his aura continued to grow.

Looking at the figure whistling towards him, Lu Qingshan muttered to himself: "A forbidden technique, self-destruction? She is a heroine, what a pity!"

He raised his hand and drew his sword.

A terrifying sword intent descended from the sky and landed on Gongsun Zhi.

In this sword intent, she instantly turned into blood mist.

At this time, Lu Qingshan's cultivation improved again and he entered the eighth level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

And Gongsun Zhi is only at the third level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

There was a full five levels of difference between the two, and the final result was this. They were completely powerless to fight back in front of Lu Qingshan.

This is the terrifying effect brought about by realm suppression.

Not to mention that Lu Qingshan is the head of Taixuan Sect and is practicing a top-grade martial arts technique with unparalleled offensive power.

"All disciples, follow my previous orders and kill!"

Lu Qingshan said coldly.

Under the leadership of Lu Qingshan, with the presence of Kong Nian.

The core members of the Sunset Sect were killed, and those who tried their best to resist were also killed.

The rest of the people surrendered.

Only after they handed over all their wealth did Taixuanmen make way for these non-core members.

As for the real core members, they knew that surrender would mean death, so they rushed towards the disciples of Taixuan Sect and were killed by them halfway.

An hour later.

Everything is settled.

The Sunset Sect was buried in the ruins and completely reduced to a few records in the history of Qianyuan Kingdom.

Taixuan Gate.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"I have finally refined the essence of those great medicines. I wonder how the battle situation is going with the headmaster? With Senior Kong Nian, a great Dharma master, in charge, there shouldn't be any problems!"

He muttered to himself, then waved his hand, and five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs appeared in front of him.

This is his only remaining resource for cultivation.

Jiang Yuan picked up one of the thousand-year-old herbs, put it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

He closed his eyes and began to refine again.

Time passes slowly.

Seven days later.

The thousand-year-old medicine he had swallowed before was also completely refined by him.

After feeling the improvement in his cultivation progress, he let out a breath.

"30% progress, with the thousand-year-old elixir to assist in cultivation, this efficiency is indeed high!"

Jiang Yuan sighed lightly and took out another thousand-year-old medicine.

"It's a pity that there are not many left! From now on, this little stock is not enough for me to break through to the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm!"

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.

Then he thought to himself, I wonder what’s going on with the headmaster?

The training supplies that belong to me should be delivered in the next few days!

Jiang Yuan then put another thousand-year-old medicine into his stomach and continued to refine the essence of the medicine in his body.

After a moment, Jiang Yuan opened his eyes.

A smile appeared on his face.

Because he heard a knock on the door, he also felt Lu Qingshan's presence outside the mansion.

"Xiaoxiao, bring the headmaster to my courtyard."

Jiang Yuan immediately stood up, and as he spoke, the surroundings became green again with flowers blooming.

For Jiang Yuan, who now has mastered the rules of the five elements, this miraculous scene was just a thought for him.

Soon, Shu Xiaoxiao led Lu Qingshan to appear in front of Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the golden aura that had gathered on the two of them over the past few days. With a thought, the luck and force of the two of them flowed into his panel.

In the blink of an eye, his current luck power reached 1943 strands.

After taking a look at the luck power that was about to reach 2000 strands, Jiang Yuan immediately closed the panel.
