Chapter 26  The Lord of the Star Ancient Sect! The Ancient Divine Artifact!

On this day, all races in the Great Ruins were shocked. The Xuan You Sect, ranked ninth among the super sects in the Great Ruins, was completely destroyed. This ancient sect with a heritage spanning over ten thousand years was broken through by the Blood Corpse Demon Clan.

Inside, the Ghost Profound Daoist and the sect leader Xuan Youzi both perished in battle. Almost no one from the Xuan You Sect survived. Corpses piled up like mountains, and over half of the sect’s buildings collapsed, showing how fierce the battle had been.

Some powerful figures went to investigate, trying to piece together what had happened. However, the mysteries of heaven and earth around the Xuan You Sect seemed to be disturbed, and the causal clues were cut off!

There was simply no way to start the investigation.

“It must be that the legendary Blood Corpse Ancestor used Dao arts to conceal the truth and disrupt the cause and effect,” said a strong cultivator at the Inquiry Dao stage.

“If anyone insists on investigating, they will surely be noticed by him and bring trouble upon themselves!”

All the powerful sects knew that the Blood Corpse Ancestor was a top-tier expert at the ninth level of the Inquiry Dao realm!

Once targeted by him, it was almost impossible to escape death. Under these circumstances, perhaps only the Holy Lands dared to take the risk and investigate. But what did the destruction of the Xuan You Sect have to do with the Holy Lands?

In the cultivation world, sects disappearing every so often is a common occurrence. Survival of the fittest has always been one of the laws of the cultivation world.

If every sect’s destruction had to be investigated by the Holy Lands, they would be overwhelmed.

Though the Blood Corpse Demon Clan was truly vicious, it was also because the Xuan You Sect’s strength was insufficient that they were so utterly defeated.

An ancient sect with a legacy of ten thousand years was so easily wiped out—its foundation was too weak. It seemed that the title of the Nine Super Sects was somewhat undeserved.

Some even sarcastically said the Xuan You Sect did not deserve to be counted among the Nine Super Sects. To be wiped out without a sound… If this news spread, they would be laughed at by other races.

“The Blood Corpse Demon Clan is acting so arrogantly—could they be trying to recreate the ancient war?”

A sect elder nervously spoke, afraid that their own sect might be the next target. In ancient times, the Blood Corpse Demon Clan was a branch of the demon royal family.

They were incredibly powerful, enslaving myriad races and causing bloodshed disasters. In the ancient era, supreme experts led armies to attack the Blood Corpse Demon Clan’s stronghold, sparking the Ancient War.

The Blood Corpse Demon Clan was defeated, abandoned their stronghold, and only a few young blood corpses fled. The current Blood Corpse Demon Clan are their descendants, long since diminished.

“They wouldn’t dare. Moreover, I believe the two Great Holy Lands would never stand by and allow the Blood Corpse Demon Clan to act recklessly!”

An elder spoke, his words suppressing the fears of many powerful figures in the Great Ruins. Indeed, after such a major event, the Tian Xuan Holy Land and the Star Ancient Sect, as the two leaders of the Great Ruins, would never remain idle.

But…

Inside the Ancient Star Sect, at the entrance of the ancestral temple, a middle-aged man dressed in a black-and-white Taoist robe stood. His whole body was surrounded by a holy aura, his face blurry and indistinct.

In front of him knelt three people, Li Chunxiao and his two sons. The three knelt on the ground, trembling nervously, teeth clenched, their backs already soaked with sweat.

This middle-aged man in the black-and-white Taoist robe was the sect leader of the Ancient Star Sect. He was a Saint Lord-level figure who made the entire Great Ruins tremble in fear upon hearing his name.

“The Holy Demon Mountain actually has more than one Dao-seeking level expert, and Chen Gang has even reached the seventh heaven of Dao-seeking…”

The sect leader of the Ancient Star Sect fell silent for a moment, glanced at the three, and said, “The Xuan You Sect was definitely wiped out by Holy Demon Mountain, and then the blame was framed on the Blood Corpse Demon Clan…”

“If I’m not mistaken, the Blood Corpse Demon Clan is now only a name without substance…”

“The Great Palace Lord Duanmu Yan and the True Spirit Daoist of Holy Demon Mountain shouldn’t be opponents to the Blood Corpse Ancestor.”

“That’s right. Could it be that after the Blood Corpse Ancestor repelled Holy Demon Mountain’s strong warriors, he realized his plan was irretrievable…”

“So he turned his spearhead towards the Xuan You Sect, which had lost Xuan Youzi and Gui Xuan Daoist?”

“Possible…”

Li Chunxiao and the others looked nervously at the sect leader and explained in low voices.

“Hmph!”

The Ancient Star Sect leader snorted coldly, “Fools! Chen Gang can hide six minor levels, so why can’t the True Spirit hide too?”

“The True Spirit is very likely also a Dao-seeking level expert at the ninth heaven!”

“A bolder guess is that he might have reached the perfect level of Dao-seeking!”

“He should be the strongest in Holy Demon Mountain, so it was he who secretly followed the campaign against the Blood Corpse Demon Clan, not his junior brother Chen Gang.”

Faced with the sect leader’s analysis, the three dared not argue. But they really did not want to believe that the small Holy Demon Mountain could have two late-stage Dao-seeking experts.

“You survived because Chen Gang spared the Ancient Star Sect’s face.”

The sect leader looked at the three and said, “If my sect didn’t have the ancient artifact, I’m certain you would have all died without a doubt!”

“We are an extreme Dao sacred land, even without the artifact…”

The Ancient Star Sect leader snapped his finger. Li Qingchang immediately collapsed while talking, a hole appeared between his eyebrows, blood flowing profusely, his spiritual sense severely damaged.

“Sect Leader!”

“Please spare him!”

Li Chunxiao and Li Qingping hurriedly begged. If the sect leader had applied a bit more force, Li Qingchang would have been dead!

“Hmph!”

“Foolishness within the sect, I can tolerate. But outside the sect?”

The sect leader’s voice was like thunder from the nine heavens, shaking the three’s heads until they almost lost consciousness.

“One day, if you encounter someone who doesn’t fear death, even if you tie the ancient artifact to your waist, you will still inevitably die!”

The sect leader was filled with frustration and disappointment. These three fathers and sons, the older they get, the more their intelligence worries people. So stupid it makes one want to smack them.

“You don’t understand what the ninth heaven of Dao-seeking means, but I do!”

The sect leader said, “This matter ends here. Everyone must pretend it never happened!”

“The destruction of the Xuan You Sect, send people to investigate, but just a token effort is enough…”

“If anyone asks in the future, just say it was done by the Blood Corpse Demon Clan.”

“Our sect is already being held at a disadvantage by Holy Demon Mountain, although we can afford to ignore it, now is not the time to tear relations with Tianxuan Sacred Land.”

“If we can retreat one step, then retreat. Go along with them.”

Li Chunxiao and Li Qingping stabilized Li Qingchang’s injuries and hurriedly said, “Yes, we remember!”

Within the Ancient Star Sect, the hierarchy was strict. Though they were elders, and Li Chunxiao even a Supreme Elder, before the sect leader, they were just subordinates!

“Go down and receive your punishment. If you make mistakes, you will be severely punished.”

The sect leader’s tone was cold.

“If you fail again, I will show no mercy!”

“Yes!”

“Go.”

The three relaxed immediately and stepped back, quickly speeding away and disappearing in an instant.

“With such fools, I truly worry about the future of the sect.”

The sect leader rubbed his forehead, very troubled. They were already over a thousand years old, yet couldn’t understand such a small matter and had to bother him. Truly extremely stupid.

“Holy Demon Mountain…”

The sect leader revealed a faint smile, and behind him appeared a strange phenomenon of sun and moon. Though he was standing there, he seemed not to be in this space…
