Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 292: Chapter 291: Descent

“Super Sects, why would they suddenly start investigating Liang Shaohui?”

Su Yunming was a bit puzzled, “What were the results of the investigation?”

“I don’t even know what they were investigating!”

Xiao Hengshan angrily said, “Those bastards, as soon as they showed up, they demanded I hand over Liang Shaohui. How could I teach? Could I possibly tell them that Liang Shaohui had already been killed by Su Han?”

“Why would they seek out Liang Shaohui for no reason?” Xiao Yuhui asked.

“It seems… Liang Shaohui had offended them.”

...

After thinking it over, Xiao Hengshan added, “From what they hinted, it seems that Liang Shaohui was extremely formidable. He killed many of their people at the Gate of Deer Chasing, and it seems he even killed the Substitute Daoist of the Jade Void Palace. Could there be someone with the same name as Liang Shaohui, which has led the connection to us? Logically, it shouldn’t be, such a powerful genius must certainly have a very strong backing, it’s impossible…”

At this point, Xiao Hengshan suddenly stopped speaking, his voice abruptly cut off.

He looked at Su Yunming, disbelieving, and after a long silence, he slowly said, “The Liang Shaohui they mentioned… couldn’t possibly be your son, could it?”

Su Yunming was stunned, “Why would you say that?”

“I remember, Yun Qianqian once said, among those who entered the Gate of Deer Chasing, the entire Dongling Kingdom was represented only by Su Han and others. And when those Super Sects came, they immediately sought someone named Liang Shaohui. This Liang Shaohui… seems to have some connection to us, could it be that Liang Shaohui was Su Han in disguise?” The more Xiao Hengshan thought about it, the more it seemed plausible.

Su Yunming and the others also fell into deep thought.

“Let’s not worry about whether it was Su Han in disguise for now. Those people from the Super Sects have performed a Soul Search on several of us from the Xiao Family, and they already know that Liang Shaohui was killed by Su Han a year ago. With the character of those scoundrels, this matter will certainly involve God-Slaying Pavilion, we should think about how to explain it, or rather… how to defend,” Xiao Hengshan sighed.

“You should rest first.”

Su Yunming nodded, and after Xiao Hengshan and others left, he said somberly, “Activate the Eighteen Illusory Formations immediately, shut down the Teleportation Formation, and for this period, forbid anyone unrelated to God-Slaying Pavilion from entering.”

“Yes.”

Liuyun nodded and hurried off into the distance.

A shadow of gloom seemed to oppress everyone’s hearts.

Merely the words “Super Sects” felt like a mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

…

Suddenly, a day had passed.

God-Slaying Pavilion had prepared all of its defenses, even though everyone knew that these defenses might not be very effective against the Super Sects.

The next morning should have been illumined by the Jin Yang, but over the Void outside of God-Slaying Pavilion, a massive shadow appeared.

This shadow was like a piece of shattered glass, growing larger and larger, until finally, like the roar of thunder, it spread out in all directions.

It was as if the sky itself had been torn asunder.

The moment the crack appeared, everyone from God-Slaying Pavilion’s gaze sharpened, Su Yunming and others immediately appeared, standing on the city walls, their expressions somewhat grim.

“Whoosh!”

The Void was torn apart, and a huge figure emerged.

This figure was thousands of meters tall, like a great mountain blocking out the sun, resembling a layer of clouds.

Its entire body emitted tremendous pressure, and a sky-high ferocious aura burst forth, making everyone tremble and feel terror just from sensing it.

“What kind of giant beast is this?”

Inside God-Slaying Pavilion, someone asked in a low voice.

No one answered, all were looking at the giant figure of the beast, silent.

Atop this giant beast, there stood at least a hundred people, led by a middle-aged woman with long, flowing hair, who still looked very charming. In her youth, she must have been extremely beautiful.

“Is this the God-Slaying Pavilion?”

The middle-aged woman looked down at the God-Slaying Pavilion’s sect residence, a cold smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

“Chang’an Mountain Gate, open your gates immediately, or face death without mercy!”

“Chang’an Mountain Gate?”

“It is a First-Class Sect!”

“Why has Chang’an Mountain Gate also come?”

The expressions on Su Yunming and others’ faces worsened.

He was silent for a moment before bowing with clasped hands. “May I know why the elder has graced this place with her presence?”

“I told you to open the gates!”

The middle-aged woman’s expression turned icy, her words echoing like rolling thunder.

Though she stood atop a giant beast, her voice turned into a thunderous roar that kicked up clouds of dust on the ground, like a storm.

Seeing this, everyone at the God-Slaying Pavilion’s complexions changed.

Su Yunming’s face alternated between shades of light and dark, thinking of a way to speak when suddenly, another rift tore open beside the middle-aged woman and her companions.

Dazzling golden light burst forth from the rift, obscuring the sunlight, as if this golden light was a second sun.

The middle-aged woman turned her head to look, and saw the golden light gradually fade, finally transforming into a massive sword hundreds of meters long.

On the sword, about thirty people stood, all with subdued expressions and hands clasped behind their backs. Among them, a middle-aged man at the very front was particularly striking.

Dressed in golden garb, he seemed almost to merge with the golden sword. He stood there, emitting no aura, but he felt like a towering, piercing sword.

“Sword Immortal Tomb?!”

Witnessing the arrival of these individuals, the middle-aged woman’s previous aura of authority instantly dissipated.

“Greetings to Void Tranquility Swordmaster.”

She hurriedly knelt on one knee, and the people behind her did the same.

“Rise.”

The middle-aged man, who was the Void Tranquility Swordmaster, glanced indifferently at the middle-aged woman and her companions and said flatly, “You are Yu Ruo, aren’t you? Have you also come to investigate the matter concerning Liang Shaohui?”

“Yes.”

The middle-aged woman respectfully nodded. “A servant brought news that within Yunyang County City, there indeed exists a Liang Family and a man named Liang Shaohui, but he was killed a year ago by someone named Su Han, who happens to be the Sect Master of this Ninth-Rate Sect.”

“I am aware,” Void Tranquility Swordmaster nodded.

“You see the people of Sword Immortal Tomb, yet you don’t kneel?” ℴ

Suddenly, a person behind the Void Tranquility Swordmaster spoke, his gaze sharp. As he spoke, dozens of sword shadows burst forth behind him, transforming into streaming lights and circling above the God-Slaying Pavilion.

Clearly, this was a forceful demand for Su Yunming and the others to kneel.

If they did not kneel, the Sword Immortal Tomb would strike immediately.

For a Super Power like the Sword Immortal Tomb, a Ninth-Rate Sect was truly just an ant, and exterminating a Ninth-Rate Sect was as negligible as squishing an ant, leaving no feeling whatsoever.

Let alone a Ninth-Rate Sect, even an Eighth-Rate, Seventh-Rate, or even Fourth-Rate and Third-Rate Sects are all considered ants!

Only First-Class Sects are regarded somewhat by them.

Of course, that too is merely being regarded.
