Chapter 433: Chapter 427: Capturing Tianzhu Alive

In the main hall of the Qingluo Sect, Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng sat with the sixteen Sect Elders of the Qingluo Sect currently in the sect, engaged in heated discussions.

From time to time, more Sect Elders summoned by Sect Leader Guoo would hasten into the main hall to participate in the deliberations.

Outside the main hall, eight True Disciples hovered above in all directions, their piercing eyes watching over the surroundings like hawks, occasionally shooting out orbs of Spiritual Power into the void, guarding with extreme vigilance.

They had received orders from Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng that not even a fly was to come within a hundred meters of the main hall.

For nothing else but the fact that the matters being discussed within the main hall were closely guarded secrets, and any leaks could bring catastrophic disaster to the Qingluo Sect!

At this moment, however, the Qingluo Sect’s main hall was filled with a cacophony of voices.

"Sect Leader, I suggest we mobilize immediately, split forces to strike at Yang Mountain and Pingnan Mountain first, and reclaim the three Spirit Crystal Veins in those areas that Phantom Divine Sect snatched from us years ago.

After that, attack Cishui and Tornado Valley, seize the mid-grade Spirit Crystal Vein in Cishui, and take over the copper mine in Tornado Valley. Then we can observe the situation and decide on our next move!" Grand Elder Zi Shi urged with urgency.

"Sect Leader, absolutely not!"

"According to our intelligence, all we know is that nearly half of Phantom Divine Sect’s Sect Elders have suffered casualties. In reality, though Phantom Divine Sect has suffered significant losses, it is far from being crippled."

Before Grand Elder Zi Shi could finish, True Master Tianzhu jumped in to object, "If we act rashly and infuriate Phantom Divine Sect, forget everything else, if Phantom Divine Sect’s two Supreme Elders personally come to demand accountability, how shall we respond?"

"Does the Sect Leader forget the disastrous defeat eighty years ago? At that time, Phantom Divine Sect’s Supreme Elders Huan Cang and Huan Meng visited Qingluo Sect, and with just a few words, they took a third of our land and Spirit Crystal Veins!

If we suffer another mishap, what hope will there be for the Qingluo Sect?"

"Tianzhu, are you scared out of your wits by Phantom Divine Sect? Are we really to forfeit this once-in-a-century opportunity?" Grand Elder Zi Shi berated.

"Grand Elder, it’s not about giving up, but we must have precise intelligence! Otherwise, a single mistake, and our Qingluo Sect... can’t afford to lose..."

...

The entire main hall was in uproar.

Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng’s brows were tightly furrowed in frustration and irritation.

Indeed, as the second largest sect within the Phantom Divine Empire, Qingluo Sect had received intelligence on Phantom Divine Sect, the first and foremost sect, at the earliest opportunity.

However, those they planted as spies within Phantom Divine Sect were not high-ranking, and the information they obtained was somewhat vague.

The intelligence only mentioned that nearly half of Phantom Divine Sect’s Sect Elders and one-third of the True Disciples had been killed or injured, with countless ordinary Disciples suffering casualties, resulting in significant turmoil within Phantom Divine Sect.

But they were completely in the dark regarding the most critical and top-tier forces of Phantom Divine Sect, including the conditions of the two Supreme Elders and Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing.

The chaos within Phantom Divine Sect was an extremely rare opportunity.

Such a chance had not presented itself for several centuries.

To let it go would leave no one content!

But should they take action, what if Phantom Divine Sect’s higher-ups were unharmed, or had suffered minimal loss?

In that case, Qingluo Sect would be merely inviting humiliation onto itself.

"Sect Leader, let’s deploy our forces!"

"Sect Leader, it would be a grave mistake!"

...

"Report to the Sect Leader, Ye Zhen, a disciple of the Qiyun Sect from Black Water Kingdom, requests an audience!"

The clear announcement of the door-guarding Disciple brought a momentary hush to the main hall.

But only a few breaths later, rebukes started to ring out.

"Ridiculous, can’t you see what time it is? And you still convey a message for an outsider?"

"At this time, we see no one!"

"Whose disciple are you, to have no discernment at all?"

"Let him wait! When the Sect Leader is free, he will naturally meet him!"

The announcer’s face flushed red with reprimand, yet he still persisted stiffly, "I didn’t want to either, but he produced a Pass Order Token personally bestowed by the Sect Leader, along with a handwritten letter claiming that all would become clear to the Sect Leader upon reading!"

The numerous Elders of the Qingluo Sect were taken aback for a moment, but Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng appeared utterly astonished.

And for good reason; the announcement was unusual.

Previously, Ye Zhen had entered and exited the Qingluo Sect under the false name Zheng Fuyun to avoid detection.

This time, however, Ye Zhen had boldly used his real name for the public announcement, which was unexpected indeed.

Suddenly, Guoo Wanfeng recalled the last snippet of intelligence from Phantom Divine Sect—that the high ranks of Phantom Divine Sect, along with members of the Huaa Clan, seemed to have gone in pursuit of a young man who appeared out of nowhere!

Could that person be Ye Zhen?

"Where’s the letter, bring it here!"

"I know what you want to know!"

"Please invite him in!"

"Elder Mu Fang, would you do me the honor of receiving our guest?" Not only did Sect Leader Guoo invite Ye Zhen in, but he also directly ordered a Sect Elder to welcome him!

"Sect Leader, Ye Zhen is an outsider, how can we let him into our Sect’s council hall?" Law Enforcement Elder Xie Lvu was highly dissatisfied.

"Sect Leader, Ye Zhen is but a junior, are we not elevating him too much?"

True Person Bixin, who had always been at odds with Ye Zhen, also felt disgruntled.

Although Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng had ordered them not to divulge any information about Ye Zhen, it did not mean that their enmity with Ye Zhen had vanished.

Sect Leader Guoo Wanfeng didn’t say a word but simply handed over Ye Zhen’s handwritten letter.

As the Elders passed the letter among themselves, the opposing voices quickly dissipated.

For the current Qingluo Sect, accurate intelligence concerning Phantom Divine Sect was of paramount importance.

"Sect Leader, be wary of that boy’s trickery; he has always been exceedingly cunning..."

"Hmph, that disciple of mine is at least ten times more honorable than anyone from your Sky Pillar Sect!" retorted True Person Bixin coldly.

"Enough, no more bickering, let’s not become a laughingstock!" Guoo Wanfeng waved his hand impatiently.

...

"Ye Zhen, you say you know the details of the high-level members of Phantom Divine Sect, is this true?" Qingluo Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng asked Ye Zhen, who had just arrived at the Sect Main Hall.

"Absolutely true!"

"Do tell, quickly!" Qingluo Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng’s face was full of joy!

"Hmph, Ye, if you dare to tell one false word, I will annihilate your entire clan!"

Before Ye Zhen could speak, True Master Tianzhu’s chilling threat suddenly rang out, causing Ye Zhen’s face to darken abruptly as he swiftly turned towards True Master Tianzhu!

"Tianzhu, you want to annihilate my entire clan? Say it again if you dare!"

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly became extremely dangerous!

"I just said it, what can you do about it? Hmph, if you dare to tell one lie today, I will annihilate your whole clan, you little rascal!"

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, a bolt of lightning erupted abruptly from the palm of Ye Zhen’s hand!

"Be careful!"

All the Sect Elders of Qingluo Sect cried out in alarm at the same time.

"Courting death!"

Seeing Ye Zhen recklessly make a move, Tianzhu flew into a raging fury. Just as he was about to mobilize his spiritual power, the lightning above his head thundered explosively.

A previously unknown sense of paralysis spread from within to the outside, coursing through his entire body, and even the spiritual power he had just raised dissipated under this numbing sensation.

A hint of fear suddenly appeared on Tianzhu’s cheeks!

Swoosh!

True Master Tianzhu could only watch helplessly as the Sword Gang spewing from Ye Zhen’s Profound Yang Sword directly pierced towards the center of his forehead.

"Don’t!"

"Please show mercy!"

This unexpected scene caused all the Sect Elders of Qingluo Sect to change color drastically, and Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng pleaded vehemently for mercy!

From the moment Ye Zhen launched the lightning attack to now happened too quickly, so quickly that everyone was unable to react in time, let alone offer any help!

Hisss!

The Sword Gang abruptly pierced through True Master Tianzhu’s forehead, and a trickle of fresh blood flowed down his brow, the icy Sword Gang on top of his head causing Tianzhu to shiver abruptly!

The feeling of death suddenly overtook his entire body!

True Master Tianzhu suddenly realized that if it weren’t for being inside the Qingluo Sect Main Hall, he might already have been killed by Ye Zhen!

"Old man, you can try to mobilize your spiritual power and see whether the spiritual power surging from your dantian is faster, or my Sword Gang piercing your skull is faster!"

Ye Zhen’s mocking laughter made True Master Tianzhu’s face change again, as the spiritual power he had just gathered quietly dissipated.

He couldn’t afford to take that risk!

Nor dare to bet!

Because the slightest mistake could cost him his life!

"Ye Zhen, stop it right now, do you know where you are? How dare you commit violence?"

"You bastard, are you saying our Qingluo Sect has no one?"

In an instant, the Sect Elders of Qingluo Sect who were on good terms with Tianzhu scolded Ye Zhen furiously. No matter what others said, Ye Zhen remained unmoved, the Sword Gang pulsing at Tianzhu’s forehead, detering anyone from making any rash moves!

However, even more sounds of sharp intakes of breath filled the air!

Nobody expected, nobody in the Sect Main Hall anticipated, that True Master Tianzhu, at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, would be captured alive with just one move by Ye Zhen, whose cultivation was only at the Third Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

"Apologize, apologize to your young master! I will spare your life today!"

"Ptui, kill me if you have the guts!" Tianzhu, convinced that Ye Zhen wouldn’t dare to kill him inside the Qingluo Sect Main Hall, actually cursed instead of begging for mercy.

"Hmph, you think I don’t have the nerve?"

"Under the pursuit of four Vein Forging Realm powerhouses, I still managed to escape unscathed; what about here?"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen sneered coldly and shouted: "Kitten!"

Whoosh!

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten immediately crawled out from Ye Zhen’s arms, slipped under him, and with one flap of its flesh wings, a massive amount of Cloud Qi surged from all around, filling the entire Qingluo Sect Main Hall.

"Sect Leader Guo, shall we try it out? If I kill this old coot Tianzhu, let’s see if you can catch up to me?"

Ye Zhen’s voice was full of mirth, but it carried a chilling sensation to everyone present.

Everyone could see, everyone could hear, Ye Zhen was not joking, he was serious!

Even Tianzhu, who had been cursing loudly just moments ago, fell silent. Even as a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he couldn’t help but feel cowardice in the face of death!

"Ye Zhen, don’t be rash!"

Guo Wanfeng’s brows were tightly furrowed, somewhat dissatisfied with True Master Tianzhu; a simple matter had been turned into such a mess by Tianzhu.

"Ye Zhen, True Master Tianzhu was speaking carelessly, don’t take it to heart, let him go!"

"Careless words?"

"Xie Lvu, you’ve been opposing me at every turn. After today, I will exterminate your whole family!" Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s roar thundered at Xie Lvu, the Law Enforcement Elder of Qingluo Sect.

"You dare!"

Xie Lvu’s eyes widened in fury and after shouting, he realized he had been tricked by Ye Zhen. His face turned unspeakably ugly in a moment!

"Sect Leader Guo, I came here in good faith to bring you the most needed intelligence, yet your Qingluo Sect Elders want to annihilate my family; what do you say we should do about this?"

Sect Leader Guo Wanfeng’s brows immediately furrowed into a ’川’ shape; this was a headache, one problem after another.

And the worst part was, not only had Ye Zhen subdued True Master Tianzhu, but he also held the moral high ground!
