Chapter 204: Welcome the Sect Master out of seclusion!
Across the vast plains, a blood-red blade light spread for ten miles, and the heaven and earth seemed to be stained with blood.
The entire plain was shaken violently, and the roar echoed endlessly.
Even the Wandao Sect's protective formation was alarmed by this force and activated on its own, absorbing all the remaining power of the sharp sword.
If not for this, I'm afraid the entire Wandao Plain would have been cut into a bottomless crack by Xiao Mo's sword.
When the sword light gradually dissipated, everyone saw that the large cauldron, a first-grade magic weapon, and Xia Yu were split into two halves, and their souls were annihilated in an instant, leaving no trace.
"How...is this possible?"
"Senior Brother Xia...is he dead?"
"Just one knife?"
"Isn't Xiao Mo only at the Nascent Soul stage?"
"A Yuanying realm killing a Yupu realm? Am I dreaming?"
It took a long time for the monks around to recover from their shock.
They originally thought that they already knew how amazing Xiao Mo's talent was.
But today, he used his Nascent Soul cultivation to kill Xia Yu, who was in the Jade Pu realm, with one sword. It all seemed like a dream and was unbelievable.
How could there be such a talented person in this world?
Is this really something that mortals can achieve?
"Yu'er!"
A mournful cry resounded through the sky. Xia Kong flew down from a high altitude and jumped into the formation. He picked up his son's body with trembling hands, heartbroken.
"So he is your son." Xiao Mo looked at Xia Kong, his tone still calm, "I do remember now."
"Xiao Mo! I want you to pay with your life!"
Xia Kong was furious and punched out. The wind from his fist condensed into the shape of a giant dragon, carrying the majestic aura of the great way, and rushed straight towards Xiao Mo, vowing to kill him with one blow.
However, Xiao Mo just chopped it down with one blow.
The crescent-shaped blade energy collided with the giant dragon formed by the fist wind. The fist wind shattered with a sound, and the aftermath of evil energy mixed with spiritual power spread violently.
"What!?"
Xia Kong was horrified. His full-strength attack was actually broken by Xiao Mo's sword?
Is he really only in the late Nascent Soul stage?
Just when Xia Kong's mind was shaken, a blood-red long sword had already slashed down from the air!
Xia Kong dodged hurriedly, and the long sword slashed heavily into the ground, creating a huge pit. Xia Yu's body also turned into blood mist and exploded under this blow.
But he had no time to grieve.
The woman in the red dress drew out her long sword, her eyes flashing scarlet, and she swung the sword towards Xia Kong again with murderous intent.
Xia Kong did not dare to neglect and immediately used his life-saving magic weapon.
A huge cauldron rose into the air and descended towards the Blood Leader.
Although this is a replica of the immortal weapon "Eight Desolations Cauldron", it has reached the level of a semi-immortal weapon.
Xia Yu’s big tripod is also a replica, but the treasure used in forging it is not good.
Xia Kong originally planned to pass on his life-saving magic weapon to his son after the competition was over.
But who knew that in the end, I would never have such an opportunity again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Blood King slashed the cauldron with his sword one after another. The two semi-immortal weapons collided violently, and the sound waves made some monks of lower realms spit blood and almost lose their balance.
"Stop it, everyone."
Just as Xia Kong was being defeated and the Blood Leader was raising his knife to deliver a final blow, a voice suddenly came from the sky.
The bloody leader frowned slightly, but still slashed with his sword without hesitation!
Xia Kong couldn't dodge in time and had to take the blow head on.
The aftermath of the battle between the immortals erupted again, and some monks who were closer and of lower realms were killed on the spot.
Xia Kong flew backwards, and at this moment, a broad hand quietly pressed on his back, helping him to stabilize his body and land safely.
When everyone saw the clothes the man was wearing, except for the master and apprentice of Yexue Peak, all the cultivators bowed and saluted when they saw this middle-aged man, and shouted in unison:
"Welcome the Sect Master out of seclusion!"
Xiao Mo looked at the man who looked to be no more than thirty years old.
Xiao Mo had heard of the leader of Wandao Sect.
The leader of Wandao Sect - Ding Jingyi, a cultivator in the Ascension Realm, is now nine thousand years old and has participated in several battles between Buddha and demons.
Ding Jingyi used to be very concerned about the affairs of the sect and would personally take care of everything. The disciples of Wandao Sect actually had a pretty good impression of Ding Jingyi.
However, Ding Jingyi once went to the Forbidden Land of Bones, and after returning to Wandao Sect, he seemed to have changed completely.
He was worried about everything and kept himself locked in a stone chamber.
Later, due to the competition for several blessed lands and caves, Ding Jingyi led the Wandao Sect to fight against the Kuangxin Sect, one of the ten major demonic sects.
The two sects suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the older generation of elders, peak masters, and hall masters were lost in that great battle.
At that time, Xue Kui's master died in that battle.
After that, the two sects entered into a truce, and Ding Jingyi went into seclusion. All matters were decided by the deputy sect leader and the council of elders.
For most of the disciples, this was their first time meeting the sect leader.
After all, he has not appeared in the public eye for more than a thousand years.
"Elder Xue Kui is still so impulsive. You and your master really have similar personalities."
Ding Jingyi stood between Xue Kui and Xia Kong and sighed.
"This old man is too shameless and can't afford to lose." Xue Kui said coldly, holding his long sword. "By the way, I didn't expect that the Sect Master would finally come out of seclusion after a thousand years."
"Yeah. I didn't expect that a thousand years would pass in the blink of an eye." Ding Jingyi's eyes were extremely deep.
"I never thought that a thousand years later, the disciples of my Wandao Sect would be so outstanding." As he said this, Ding Jingyi looked at Xiao Mo, "Your name is Xiao Mo, right? Very good."
"Thank you for the compliment, Sect Master."
Xiao Mo bowed politely.
But for some reason, Xiao Mo always had a feeling in his heart.
That is the leader of the Wandao Sect. He looks like a human, but not like a human.
As Ding Jingyi was speaking, a deacon stepped forward, handed over a list, and said respectfully, "Master, the Saint Son Martial Arts Competition selection has concluded. This is the list of ten candidates. Please review it."
Ding Jingyi took the list, read it, and nodded: "No problem, let's inform everyone."
"Yes, Master."
The deacon threw the list into the sky, and in an instant, ten names appeared high in the sky. Everyone in the Wandao Sect could see them no matter how far away they were.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Jingyi's voice echoed throughout the Wandao Sect, shocking everyone's heart:
"Xiao Mo of Yexue Peak, Wu Qingfeng of Sunflower Peak, Si Li of Wanhua Peak, Cheng Yunshang of Hua Peak, Xi Tianqi of Luosha Hall, Lv Lingfan of Shu Peak
From today onwards, the ten of you will be candidates for the Holy Son of the Wandao Sect.
In the name of the Master of the Wandao Sect, I issue the Wandao Sect Holy Fire Order—
Whoever among you first takes down the head of Wangxin from Kongnian Temple will be the Holy Son of Wandao Sect and the next Sect Master!
