The sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Ghost Fiend Sect. The discussions about the Grand Elder immediately ceased, and everyone turned to look at the council hall, speculating about what had happened…
Before anyone could answer their guesses, a terrifying aura, so powerful it sent chills down their spines, swept through the entire sect in an instant…
This apocalyptic atmosphere weighed heavily on the hearts of every disciple…
boom…
Finally, that oppressive atmosphere, like a balloon inflated to its limit, suddenly burst...
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then something happened that they would never forget...
The entire council chamber was instantly reduced to dust. That council chamber, protected by defensive arrays, vanished so easily…
When he attacked me, the sect leader held back. If he couldn't break through my defenses, the rebound would be unbearable for him. Therefore, when he attacked, he held back his power...
It's like an armor-piercing projectile; it penetrates the armor before exploding—that's the effect it aims to achieve…
Even if his power fails to penetrate the defense, his attack will still erupt at the last moment…
The damage dealt by a full-force attack landing on a single point is completely different from the damage dealt by a full-force attack landing on an entire plane…
Therefore, after confirming that he could not break through my defense, the sect leader immediately unleashed his attack. In the instant before the attack rebounded, it exploded like a bomb, completing the final strike...
However, the consequence was that the council hall was gone, and even though he withstood the attack, his image in the eyes of his disciples was no longer invincible...
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the ground where the council chamber had stood had become a deep crater. I looked down at the three pale-faced people at the bottom…
It's clear that the rebound attack caused considerable trouble for the three of them...
The two elders were the most aggrieved; they were just watching a show, and they almost lost their lives…
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
To show off, the Second Elder quickly asked with concern…
The sect leader remained silent, his face cold. He could understand why a Martial Venerable's attack couldn't break through his defenses—the ninth-tier magic weapon's defenses were powerful. But he was a Martial Emperor; even if he couldn't destroy a ninth-tier magic weapon with a single strike, he could still inflict some damage…
However, his attack was still deflected, something a ninth-tier magic weapon couldn't do...
"How exactly did you do that?"
The sect leader stared at me and murmured a question…
He had two guesses: either I was a powerful expert whom he couldn't shake, or I possessed a treasure even more powerful than a ninth-tier magic weapon...
Regardless of which guess it was, he understood that he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend...
Considering all my unusual behavior, he knew perfectly well that it was all intentional. It stemmed from a strong confidence in my own strength; all schemes and tricks were nothing but a joke in the face of absolute power…
"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know how I did it..."
Upon hearing my answer, the sect leader suppressed his anger. He really wanted to ask, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
What ordinary person could withstand the attack of a ninth-rank Martial Emperor? At this level of strength, ordinary people are not even ants in front of him, let alone withstand a full-force attack from a Martial Emperor...
"metropolitan…"
The long-faced and square-faced figures suddenly rushed to a short distance away and immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the sect leader…
What are you doing here?
The sect leader unleashed a powerful aura and roared, a sight that stunned the two already dim-witted individuals...
The long-faced man replied in fear.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do..."
Actually, no one from the sect dared to come and find out what was going on, so they could only send these two idiots...
After all, these two had just distinguished themselves and had a say in the sect leader's eyes...
Unbeknownst to the others, the merits of these two individuals had become a grave offense. Today, the three strongest members of the sect had utterly lost face and had nowhere to vent their frustrations…
The culprits behind their humiliation are this shameless duo; who would have thought they'd dare to show their faces like this...
"I don't know what you're doing here. What are you doing here?"
The bone sword in the sect leader's hand trembled; it was clear he had already decided to kill...
"I used to know, but now I don't..."
The man with the long face said, looking aggrieved, "This idiot is even more idiotic after being scared like this..."
"Long-faced guy, get down and carry me up..."
I gave the order to the long-faced man from the bottom of the pit…
Upon hearing my command, the two men who trusted me implicitly ran towards me without a word…
The reason we're here is no longer important; what matters is that you can't go wrong by listening to me…
The sect leader was filled with boundless rage, with nowhere to vent it. Now these two idiots were adding fuel to the fire. He could no longer tolerate it and raised his bone sword, ready to stab them to the bone and scatter their ashes...
"Sect Master, wait..."
The Grand Elder rolled to the Sect Master's side, mainly because his legs were too short; whenever he moved, it looked like he was rolling...
"Elder, have you thought carefully about the consequences of obstructing me?"
The sect leader's eyes were already bloodshot; he needed to kill a few people to vent his anger...
"Sect Master, this man is Tuoba San's father, and he's a hot potato right now..."
The sect leader's anger intensified, thinking to himself, "Do I need you to repeat this?"
However, the elder continued to explain...
"Since we're caught in a dilemma, let's send him to the sect's forbidden area and let him fend for himself. Regardless of whether Tuoba San attacks or not, we're guaranteed to win this round..."
If we kill Tuoba San, both problems will be solved. If Tuoba San manages to infiltrate the sect, then we'll use the power of the sect's forbidden area to eliminate him…”
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Sect Master's anger vanished instantly, and his eyes brightened considerably...
He looked at the elder and said with a smile.
"Haha... As expected of the Grand Elder, this method is brilliant! If this person dies in the forbidden area, then the ninth-tier magic treasure will be ours too. We'll get it without any effort, killing two birds with one stone..."
"Our sect leader is truly wise; to have devised such a brilliant plan, we are all ashamed of our own inferiority..."
The Grand Elder hurriedly and respectfully said, "Just now, because of my instigation, the relationship between the two people was affected. Now, the Grand Elder finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Sect Master wouldn't blame him..."
He was fine, but the Second Elder behind him was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "This flattery is truly amazing. What am I supposed to do?"
The sect leader glanced sharply at the second elder, ignoring him, and instead gave orders to the two shameless duo.
"You two take him into the sect's forbidden area, and remember, the deeper the better..."
Upon hearing the word "forbidden area," the long-faced and square-faced men visibly trembled. Even if they weren't particularly bright, they still had an instinctive fear of forbidden areas...
"metropolitan…"
The long-faced man tried to struggle, but the sect leader's expression immediately darkened, causing him to swallow back what he was about to say…
Without the slightest delay, they carried me straight to the sect's forbidden area...
