Chapter 455: Chapter 449: The Masked Man

Yan Rufeng used the powerful spell ’Absorption Immortal Technique’ to absorb the Immortal Yuan Qi from Yun Jiuge, who was about to self-destruct. This was no trivial matter.

It must be known that Yun Jiuge possessed the cultivation at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Eighth Realm. If Yan Rufeng had the cultivation of an average Daluo Golden Immortal, he would have already perished from the explosion.

However, Yan Rufeng, who practiced the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art, would still face backfire if he couldn’t immediately consume the immense Immortal Yuan Qi he absorbed from Yun Jiuge, no matter how large his dantian space was...

Yan Rufeng didn’t have time to think. He quickly said, "Brother Tang, Yun Jiuge is here. You can take revenge if you have grievances, get even if you have enmity. Little brother will leave first."

"Emperor Yan, where are you going?"

Yan Rufeng had already leapt onto his flying sword.

"Brother Tang, no matter where I go, I will appear at your sect’s auction in Dragon Valley in seven days."

"Whoosh~"

A green light flashed, and Yan Rufeng disappeared before Tang Liben.

At this moment, Tang Liben slowly walked over to Yun Jiuge.

"Yun Jiuge, didn’t expect you’d face this day, did you?"

Yun Jiuge stammered, "What are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do?"

A murderous gleam flashed in Tang Liben’s eyes.

"Of course, it’s to kill you and avenge my son Jinke."

"No, don’t!"

Yun Jiuge backed away, trying to escape. However, he found that without Immortal Yuan Qi in his dantian, he couldn’t use any Immortal Law.

In an instant, Yun Jiuge, drenched in cold sweat, knelt down.

"Elder Sect Master Tang, spare me. It was Gudu Mohan who killed Jinke, it has nothing to do with me."

"Heh heh!"

"Gudu Mohan?"

Tang Liben roared.

"Yun Jiuge, you still want to quibble. If you hadn’t altered the content of the Communication Immortal Sword, would my son Jinke have died at Gudu Mohan’s hands?"

"Father!"

Tang Xiaoke stepped forward.

"Yun Jiuge deserved to die for plotting against my elder brother. Let me, as his younger brother, avenge him."

Tang Liben nodded.

"Zheng~"

Tang Xiaoke’s longsword was in hand, its tip pointed directly at Yun Jiuge.

"I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die!"

Yun Jiuge, kneeling on the ground, kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Swish~"

With a swift motion, the sword fell. As a gush of fresh blood spurted out, Yun Jiuge’s head dropped into the dark void.

Then, Tang Xiaoke formed a spell, and a flash of light summoned a spherical glow from afar, within which was a human-shaped shadow.

"Father, how should we handle Yun Jiuge’s divine soul?"

Tang Liben coolly said, "Destroy it."

"Understood!"

Tang Xiaoke immediately used his cultivation technique and launched several beams at the glowing sphere, accelerating the destruction of Yun Jiuge’s divine soul.

"Buzz~"

A golden light flashed, the sphere shattered, and Yun Jiuge vanished entirely from this world.

"Hahaha..."

Tang Liben suddenly laughed heartily to the sky.

"I’ve waited for this day for nearly two years. Jinke, do you see this? The one who framed you has met their deserved end..."

Tang Liben suddenly burst into tears.

Tang Xiaodie approached.

"Father, the great revenge has been taken. We should now hurry back to Dragon Valley and inform Brother at his memorial tablet of this good news..."

Tang Liben nodded.

With a flash of a rainbow light, Tang Liben and his two children vanished into the void.

Just then, a masked man appeared beside Yun Jiuge’s corpse.

"Yan Rufeng, you indeed made your move."

"Hahaha..."

The masked man laughed loudly.

"Since you know the truth, let our struggle begin from here..."

The masked man cast a flame, instantly engulfing Yun Jiuge’s body in a blazing fire, reducing it to ashes in no time.

After the masked man left, a white-robed elder, hidden in the distance, let out a long sigh.

"Brothers, let’s return and report to the senior brother..."

"Swish swish~"

Eight beams of white light swiftly flew towards the Immortal Emperor Star.

On a peak at the forbidden land of the Heavenly Dao Sect on the Immortal Emperor Star, Sect Leader Mo Qianchou frowned deeply.

"Brothers, is the news reliable?"

"Senior brother, this is absolutely true. We saw with our own eyes Yan Rufeng using the Absorption Immortal Technique to drain Yun Jiuge’s Immortal Yuan."

"Sigh..."

Mo Qianchou let out a sigh, thinking, "I never expected that the resurrected Yan Rufeng would learn Demon Clan’s techniques. It seems the Immortal Domain is in for another catastrophe..."

Mo Qianchou suddenly became serious.

"Brothers, to avoid causing the Immortal Domain untold suffering, notify our disciples to continue the pursuit of Yan Rufeng. If necessary, they may act first and report later."

An elder in gray robes cupped his hands, "Senior brother, I believe this is not appropriate."

"Third junior brother, what do you mean?" Mo Qianchou asked.

"Senior brother, during the tracking of the Tang family father and sons, I also learned that twelve years ago, the battle between Yan Rufeng and the Demon Clan orchestrated by Yun Jiuge had nothing to do with Yan Rufeng."

"What?"

Mo Qianchou asked in confusion, "How could it have nothing to do with Yan Rufeng? What is the situation?"

"Senior brother, the one who colluded with the Demon Clan is Yun Jiuge. He confessed this himself. However, it seems Yun Jiuge wasn’t the only participant in that event."

"What do you mean by this?" Mo Qianchou urgently asked.

"Senior brother, Yan Rufeng used the Soul Searching Technique on Yun Jiuge."

"Oh."

Mo Qianchou paused and asked, "How did Yan Rufeng react?"

"He was furious and roared to the sky, claiming he was true to the Heaven and Earth, and he kept asking who the masked man Yun Jiuge referred to was."

Mo Qianchou’s eyes became distant.

"Is there really a masked man? Did Yan Rufeng discover you and deliberately ask such a question?"

"Impossible."

Another white-robed elder stepped forward.

"Senior brother, right after Tang Xiaoke destroyed Yun Jiuge’s divine soul and left with Tang Liben, we brothers all saw the masked man burn Yun Jiuge’s body with our own eyes."

"Strange!"

Mo Qianchou lowered his head in thought, pondering, "Twelve years ago, Yun Jiuge colluded with the Demon Clan to frame Yan Rufeng. After Yan Rufeng’s resurrection, he suddenly mastered Demon Clan’s techniques, and now a masked man appears out of nowhere, making this even more enigmatic..."

"Senior brother, the situation has become very complicated. We cannot rashly make Yan Rufeng our enemy. Given his high prestige, if we make a wrong move, the Heavenly Dao Sect will be trapped in a quagmire."

"Hmm!"

Mo Qianchou took a deep breath.

"Brothers, when we participated in the Heavenly Dao Plate, we clearly saw Yan Rufeng leading the Demon Clan to attack the Immortal Domain."

"Now that Yan Rufeng’s resurrection is certain, our Heavenly Dao Sect has always upheld maintaining order in the Immortal Domain as our duty. How can we allow such a dangerous person to grow unchecked?"

"Senior brother, even though we see it that way, what if we misunderstood the Heavenly Dao Plate?"

"Now, another masked man appears, making the situation even more obscure. If we stand against Yan Rufeng before determining who truly colluded with the Demon Clan, wouldn’t we be playing into the hands of the real enemy?"
