Chapter 523 Leader
Yang Shenjing looked to be in his fifties, with a gaunt face that gave him a gentle and honest look, but he also had broad shoulders and chest, and long arms, which gave him the sharpness and strength of a martial artist.
The few strands of white hair on his temples and the beard on his chin revealed the signs of time. He was no longer the young man he appeared to be on the stone wall of Jiuli Hidden Sect’s telekinesis power.
This was the first time Li Weiyi had truly seen Yang Shenjing!
His aura was vigorous, and his magical energy continuously overflowed, as if his body contained a vast ocean. Even standing a hundred feet away, he gave everyone present a great sense of oppression.
This leader of the Sui Sect is not only famous in the southern border, surpassing the three great barbarian bandits, but is also known as the top figure in the past thousand years in the entire Lingxiao habitat.
His reputation is mixed.
Those who dislike him call him a vicious slave who devours his master, an opportunist, a treacherous and vicious person. Those who admire him praise his tenacity, forbearance and resourcefulness, his lack of ruthless tactics, and his difficulty in rising from the ranks.
The Ancient Hermit took out his battle axe and said in a deep voice, "Yang Shenjing, with your cultivation and status, you attacked a junior. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the martial artists of the world? Why don't you let me meet you?"
Yang Shenjing's gaze shifted from the stone coffin to the Ancient Hermit. Their minds collided, and within a hundred feet of space, a powerful force of wind and thunder erupted.
Without fighting, he was able to test the depth of the other party's cultivation.
Yang Shenjing said in a low voice, "The Nine Li Hidden Sect is truly a place of hidden talents. I thought that after defeating Li Minnong and Mo Hai, I would be the best in Lizhou. It seems that I underestimated the foundation left by King Cang and leader Yuan Zhe."
The Yang family is a vassal of the Jiuli tribe, so Yang Shenjing naturally grew up hearing about the reputation of King Cang and Li Yuanzhe.
The immortal giants of the demon clan, Dao Palace, Du'e Temple, and Lingxiao human clan are almost all within dozens of miles under the mirage of the Phoenix Tree, and each of them has a magical energy as vast as a lake or an ocean.
Earlier, the collision of Yang Shenjing and Master Guan's magical energy caused extremely violent fluctuations, which alarmed them all.
The strongest and second strongest men of the Jiuli tribe, the patriarch of the Cangli tribe "Li Minnong", and the high priest of the Jiuli Temple "Mo Hai", successively turned back from the direction of the trunk of the Phoenix Tree Mirage.
Yang Shenjing is the biggest enemy to the entire Jiuli tribe.
"I heard that the Second Palace Master gave you the Thousand Life Pill to help you reach the Beyond Shore Realm. Yang Shen Realm, why haven't you become transcendent yet?"
The High Priest Mohai was glowing with spiritual light, holding a banner, with white hair and beard, and his body was covered with coins, and behind him stood dense crowds of dead souls.
Li Minnong is Yinjun's father and Cangli and Li Ling's grandfather.
A bronze battle axe flew out from his ancestor's field, and he said in a firm tone: "Today, the Jiuli tribe and the Hidden Sect will join forces to eliminate this great enemy!"
"Take these juniors and leave first."
The ancient hermit said this to Qin Lao.
To face an existence like Yang Shenjing, he must give it his all. There is no way he can protect Li Weiyi and others.
Although Master Guan had repelled Yang Shenjing just now, he did not use the power of the transcendent level.
The Ancient Hermit was unaware of Master Coffin's true strength, only that he had passed away, leaving only his remains. Furthermore, if news of the Nine Li leader's return were to leak, there would undoubtedly be turmoil.
"Just you guys? If you could kill me, why would you wait until now?"
Yang Shenjing glanced at the three people in front of him without any fear. He was only interested in the sarcophagus and Li Weiyi.
The reason why he wanted to capture Li Weiyi was to uncover the secret of Li Weiyi's terrifying cultivation speed. Secondly, he saw that the seven strange insects were extraordinary and not necessarily seven princes-level ones.
If they weren't seven princely-level beasts, their value would be unimaginable.
"Amitabha!"
A high-pitched Buddhist chant echoed from the distant ruins. "Three against one? How unfair! I'm also curious about how powerful the Nine Li Hidden Sect is. How did they manage to subdue the Earth Wolf King's army?"
Xu Fudu is 36 feet tall, with a big belly. He wears a gray monk's robe and a string of blood soul prayer beads around his neck, each bead is the size of a water tank.
His bald head was huge and bright, and he walked briskly from beside a dragon head skeleton the size of a hill, along a river of blood. Under his feet were densely packed golden Buddhist texts.
Li Minnong and Mo Hai both expressed fear, knowing full well how powerful Xu Fodu was. This barbarian possessed the blood of an ancient immortal giant, possessing terrifying combat prowess and a formidable reputation. It was precisely for this reason that the Jiuli tribe never dared to provoke him, instead paying tribute annually to Coffin Mountain in exchange for peace.
Xu Fudu can be regarded as the second biggest enemy of the Jiuli tribe.
Yang Shenjing is vicious and cunning, while Xu Fudu is bloody and cruel.
Both of them are deputy hall masters of the Dao Sect's World Hall.
"Three against three, it's fair."
“Wow!”
The master of the Rice Cult's Kurong Hall flew and landed on top of the hill-sized dragon head skeleton. His body seemed to be made of gold, and a golden mirror was floating above his head, as if he was standing in a golden full moon.
He is the father of Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun.
The deputy hall master of Kuruo Hall, the mother of Sikong Jingyuan and Sikong Yanlun, died in the siege of the underground fairy palace a few months ago at the hands of Li Minnong.
Seeing that the Jiuli tribe was in a bad situation, a powerful human from the Lingxiao Biota about forty miles away in the direction of the Phoenix Tree Mirage snorted, "I advise the three of you from the Rice Sect not to act rashly, otherwise we will give up this opportunity and kill you first."
The person who said this was Taishi Qingshi of the Taishi family.
He was accompanied by Princess Yunchang, daughter of the King of the West Sea and the most powerful figure in the imperial court. Her aged voice rang out, "Yang Shenjing, Xu Fodu, don't you know that you are already the public enemy of the Lingxiao human race? How dare you act so presumptuously?"
The opportunity in the ruins of Dragon City is everyone’s current top priority.
They had already smelled the fragrance of the life-saving elixir and felt that the legendary life-saving spring must be under the phoenix tree.
If you can drink the life-spring, your life span will be greatly increased.
The voice of a powerful Inamiya came from fifty miles away, with a threatening tone: "They are settling a personal grudge. There is no need for you, the people of the Lingxiao human race, to get involved."
Hearing this, Yang Shenjing no longer had any worries. He raised his right hand above his head, and a spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.
“Wow!”
With a flick of his wrist, countless scriptures burst out from the spear.
The Dharma energy and scripture culture became a long river of rosy light, and the energy instantly covered all the people of the Jiuli tribe. The terrifying aura on their bodies was like a sacred mountain rising.
Yang Shenjing was good at assessing the situation. His original plan was to capture Li Weiyi and escape immediately. He never thought of going to war with the Jiuli tribe in the ruins of Longcheng.
Now, having accidentally discovered the secret of the sarcophagus and sensed the danger, his curiosity was completely aroused.
His intuition told him that if he didn't solve the secret today, he would die from it one day.
A shot was fired!
"boom!"
A long river of rosy light flew out along the spear, carrying the mighty force of flowing water, instantly knocking Li Minnong and Mo Hai back to the sides and sending them flying several miles away.
The spear light crossed a hundred feet and collided with the battle axe swung by the ancient hermit king.
The clanging sound of metal colliding resounded throughout Dragon City, like two ancient mountains colliding.
The ground beneath the Ancient Hermit's feet sank, and turbulent energy surged. Vibrant energy erupted from the air, causing the branches of the Phoenix Tree above to shake violently.
No one expected that a rational person like Yang Shenjing would actually fight in a place like the ruins of Dragon City.
Qin Lao had already taken Li Weiyi and others more than ten miles away without any explanation.
When he noticed the battle breaking out behind him, a look of extreme worry appeared on his scarred face.
At the foot of Yuntian Fairyland, Qin Lao had fought with Yang Shenjing before, and he knew how terrifying that old man was, and he almost got killed by him.
"Oh no! The Lord of Kurong Palace is coming towards us!"
In Qin Lao's pupils, he saw the golden figure standing on top of the white bone dragon head turning into a golden light and chasing after them.
The master of Kurong Palace, whose cultivation was comparable to that of Yang Shenjing and Xu Fodu, was getting closer and closer, shouting, "Yao Qingxuan, I never thought you were still alive. Even the leader's death spirit fire couldn't kill you."
This voice was heard by many people in the area, and they were all stunned with shock.
Zuoqiu Ling, Yao Xingyue, and the others were so frantic they thought their heads were about to explode, thinking they had misheard or that the names were similar. How could it be her?
"There's no other way!"
Master Guan was well aware of the consequences of exposing his identity and the secret of his return, but he sensed danger in Yang Shenjing and felt that this greatest enemy of the Jiuli tribe would soon join the ranks of the transcendent.
“Wow!”
The sarcophagus flew out and disappeared in front of everyone, at a speed so fast that Yin Jun and Yao Qingxuan could not catch it with their eyes.
"boom!"
The sarcophagus crashed into the golden mirror in front of the Lord of Kuruo Palace. There was a crackling sound, and the mirror turned into golden fragments in circles of golden light.
"How is this possible?"
The master of Kuruo Palace's expression changed with shock, and he instinctively used his hands to block the sarcophagus.
His hands were broken and his body was knocked dozens of miles away by the sarcophagus.
When it reached the place where Yang Shenjing and the Ancient Hermit were fighting, the sarcophagus flipped sideways and slashed towards Yang Shenjing like a blunt sword.
The Lord of Kuruo Palace turned into a ball of bloody mud and collapsed on the ground. The golden light on his body quickly dimmed and he was no longer breathing.
Yang Shenjing's eyes glared like a tiger, his muscles and skin were stretched to the extreme, but he couldn't escape. His legs seemed to be petrified, and his whole body was suppressed by a powerful will.
“Boom!”
The sarcophagus smashed down, directly knocking the arrogant Yang Shenjing into the ground.
With the place where the sarcophagus was smashed as the center, the ground collapsed in circles and spread to the distance.
You know, this is the ruins of Dragon City, and the ground structure is solid.
Such a terrifying attack shocked all the immortal giants under the Phoenix Tree Mirage, and they fell into a brief silence.
Xu Fudu turned around and ran away.
"It's the transcendental Dharma energy... The leader... His cultivation has recovered?" Under the mask of the Hidden Lord, his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets, his heart was beating like a drum, and he could hardly suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
Old Qin couldn't help but take a deep breath of the deadly aura in the ruins of Dragon City.
Li Weiyi's eyes were solemn, devoid of any joy. He was well aware of Master Guan's helplessness. His Beyond Heaven Pill had only slightly revived, capable of unleashing transcendental power, but was still a long way from full recovery.
It is unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse to expose one's strength in order to kill the Lord of Kuruo Palace and Yang Shenjing.
"It is transcendence. There is transcendence hidden among the martial artists in the realm of immortality."
"Quickly send a message to the Demon King!"
The immortal giants from all sides were all shocked.
They knew full well how dangerous it would be for a transcendent to go on a killing spree.
