My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

97: Love, hate and vengeance from five thousand years ago“Hehehe…”

“Who are you, young man? How dare you trespass into my Tian Sha Sect? Do you have a death wish?”

The Black-Robed Old Man stood above the void, looking down at Lu Fengming with an unfriendly expression.

In the void, the Black-Robed Old Man’s figure appeared suddenly.

Seeing this, Tian Sha and the two others’ pupils constricted, and their faces changed dramatically.

No one expected this Black-Robed Old Man to appear so suddenly, which greatly startled the three of them.

“The Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion!”

“Greetings, Old Ancestor!”

“We greet the Old Ancestor!”

Upon seeing this Black-Robed Old Man, shrouded in thick mist, suddenly appear,

all the Tian Sha Sect disciples knelt on the ground, respectfully saluting the Black-Robed Old Man.

Even Tian Sha, the Sect Master of Tian Sha Sect, dared not be disrespectful in front of the Black-Robed Old Man. He hurriedly cupped his hands towards the Black-Robed Old Man, then looked at Lu Fengming and began to introduce him.

“Reporting to Old Ancestor, this is His Highness the Demon Venerable. He will become the new master of our Tian Sha Sect and will lead our Tian Sha Sect to new glories.”

“I believe that under the leadership of Lord Demon Venerable, we will surely eliminate the Tianyu Empire and its royal family, wiping them out completely.”

Tian Sha respectfully introduced the Black-Robed Old Man.

His Highness the Demon Venerable?

Hearing Tian Sha’s words, the Black-Robed Old Man narrowed his eyes.

A sharp glint emanated from his gaze as he quietly observed Lu Fengming.

The Black-Robed Old Man was enveloped in a vast black mist.

Under the shroud of this black mist, his figure was indistinct, making it impossible to see his true face.

However, one thing was clearly visible.

Within that black mist, a pair of crimson eyes appeared before everyone.

These crimson eyes, like those of a blood demon, emitted a terrifying red glow that made people fearful and uneasy.

Although the Black-Robed Old Man’s true face was unclear,

the powerful aura emanating from him alone was enough to prove that the Black-Robed Old Man’s strength was extraordinary.

A Combination Realm expert!

Indeed, the Black-Robed Old Man was a top-tier expert of the Combination Realm.

His strength even surpassed that of the Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor whom Lu Fengming had encountered before.

“Lord Demon Venerable, this old man is Wan Chongling, the Old Ancestor of Tian Sha Sect.”

The Black-Robed Old Man seemed to have noticed Lu Fengming’s extraordinary qualities.

He did not flaunt his status or strength in front of Lu Fengming. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Lu Fengming and spoke in a calm tone.

“Divine Fire Sect Old Ancestor?”

Hearing this, Lu Fengming narrowed his eyes, quietly observing the Black-Robed Old Man.

After careful observation, Lu Fengming finally noticed the anomaly on the Black-Robed Old Man.

It seemed that within the black mist, countless invisible chains completely bound the Black-Robed Old Man’s body, causing him immense pain, as if he were imprisoned.

“Judging by Lord Demon Venerable’s expression, you must have already realized that this old man is imprisoned by others and has been placed under a restriction.”

Seeing Lu Fengming’s gaze, and before Lu Fengming could even ask, the Black-Robed Old Man spoke first, finally revealing the secret of his situation.

“Placed under a restriction?”

Hearing the Black-Robed Old Man voluntarily reveal his biggest secret,

Lu Fengming became quite interested, sizing him up with a smirk, a hint of an evil smile on his lips.

Lu Fengming’s change in expression was fully observed by the Black-Robed Old Man, who subconsciously frowned.

His aged face revealed a sinister and malicious expression.

In extreme anger, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from him.

It was as if he was venting his dissatisfaction and inner resentment.

“Five thousand years ago, my Tian Sha Sect once dominated the entire Tianyu Empire and even held a significant position in the Yan Yang Empire. That was the most glorious period for my Tian Sha Sect.”

“However, a tall tree catches the wind. Although my Tian Sha Sect was powerful, it offended many neighbors, including the Yan Yang Empire, Qingtian Sword Sect, and Tianyu Empire, the three most powerful forces.”

“Instigated by the Tianyu Empire, the Yan Yang Empire and Qingtian Sword Sect also dispatched experts to deal with my Tian Sha Sect.”

“The three top-tier forces mobilized a large number of experts, led personally by the then Tianyu Empire King, to launch a massive attack on the Ten Thousand Mountains, intending to completely annihilate my Tian Sha Sect.”

“Although this old man mobilized all the power of the Tian Sha Sect and fought to the death against the experts from the Tianyu Empire and Qingtian Sword Sect, these three forces were truly terrifying, and ultimately, we could only end in failure.”

“This old man was also severely wounded by the then Tianyu Empire King and was bound by the Shuantian Chain, a heaven rank magical treasure unique to the Tianyu Empire royal family, to be sealed forever.”

“Had the Yan Yang Empire not chosen to withdraw its troops at the most critical moment, and the Qingtian Sword Sect also retreated, I fear my Tian Sha Sect would have been completely destroyed by the Tianyu Empire at that time.”

At this point, the Black-Robed Old Man’s eyes revealed undisguised hatred and murderous intent.

In extreme anger, his already ugly, aged face was twisted and deformed, becoming hideous.

One must know that five thousand years ago, the Tian Sha Sect had an extremely glorious history.

At that time, the Tian Sha Sect was extremely powerful, almost occupying the northern border of the Tianyu Empire, and even extending towards the southern border of the Yan Yang Empire.

Its vast influence and territory were equivalent to one-fifth of the Tianyu Empire’s land, and it could even contend with the Qingtian Sword Sect of that era.

However, the rapid expansion of the Tian Sha Sect, coupled with its ruthless and merciless methods, made it a demonic force reviled by all. This naturally aroused the fear and hatred of powerful forces like the Tianyu Empire.

Under the alliance led by the Monarch of Tianyu Empire, the Qingtian Sword Sect and the Yan Yang Empire also joined in, delivering a heavy blow to the Tian Sha Sect, almost completely annihilating it.

Although the Tianyu Empire broke through the Tian Sha Sect’s headquarters and massacred its disciples, severely weakening the Tian Sha Sect’s power and gravely injuring its Sect Master, the Black-Robed Old Man, of the Tian Sha Sect,

the Tian Sha Sect, utilizing the special terrain of the Ten Thousand Mountains, fought to the death.

Moreover, its disciples were ruthless and stopped at nothing to achieve their goals.

They employed various methods, such as poisoning and assassination, causing immense suffering and heavy casualties among the Tianyu Empire cultivators.

Especially the people of the Yan Yang Empire, who not only did not contribute much but also chose to withdraw their troops at the most critical moment, standing by idly.

The people of the Qingtian Sword Sect also saw that things were going badly and fled early, leaving the Tianyu Empire cultivators isolated and unsupported.

Although the previous Tianyu Empire King defeated the Black-Robed Old Man, he could not kill him in a short period.

Under duress, he could only use the Shuantian Chain, a great heaven rank magical treasure of the Tianyu Empire royal family, to seal the Tian Sha Sect Old Ancestor, this Black-Robed Old Man.

The Shuantian Chain is a heaven rank magical treasure of immense destructive power, far superior to ordinary heaven rank magical treasures.

Even within the Tianyu Empire, it is an extremely precious existence.

Even a Combination Realm expert, if bound by the Shuantian Chain, cannot break free.

Therefore, even after thousands of years, the Shuantian Chain has continuously sealed the Black-Robed Old Man, preventing him from exerting his true strength.

The binding of the Shuantian Chain not only greatly restricted the Black-Robed Old Man’s power but also constantly prevented him from absorbing external spiritual energy to replenish himself.

Thus, after five thousand years, the Black-Robed Old Man’s realm and strength had not only not increased at all but had even regressed.
