Chapter 767: Chapter 766: [The Generous Old Hunchback Marching to His Death]

The Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, Xian Yutong, had unexpectedly proposed that Bei Lengshi become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, which was something no one had anticipated and was almost unbelievable.

Shaolin, Wudang, Songshan Sect, Mount Hua, Ancient Tomb, Turquoise Pool, Sword Control, and Five Poison Sect—these Eight Great Sects had each dominated a region. Though there had not been major conflicts in recent years, there were still occasional frictions, just not enough to provoke a bloodbath. Among these eight sects, no one submitted to another; no one could manage another. It was for this reason that peace had been maintained. If these eight sects were united under one person’s command, it would be a disaster, especially if someone as ambitious and ruthless as Bei Lengshi became the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. That would be truly terrifying.

”Sect Leader Xian flatters me, I have merely done what I could for the Ancient Martial World!” Bei Lengshi said with a feigned humble smile.

”Master Bei is too modest. Over the years, the growth of the Songshan Sect and its contributions to the Ancient Martial World are evident to all. It can be said that the Songshan Sect has been maintaining the peace of the Ancient Martial World. Therefore, it is only appropriate for you to be the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. The Huashan Sect will follow Master Bei’s lead and supports Bei Lengshi’s ascension as the ruler of the Ancient Martial World,” Xian Yutong declared loudly.

”What’s happening? Xian Yutong is actually supporting Bei Lengshi to be the ruler of the Ancient Martial World?”

”Did I hear that wrong? The Huashan Sect is supporting Bei Lengshi?”

”The Eight Great Sects have always been non-interfering and non-supportive of each other, and Xian Yutong is seldom active in the Ancient Martial World. Why would he support Bei Lengshi this time?”

”Is the Huashan Sect planning to grovel to Bei Lengshi now?”

Many martial artists began to discuss in disbelief. They had not expected any of the eight sects to support another sect, especially someone like Bei Lengshi, who was known for his cruelty. Even if he could slaughter his own disciples as if they were mere chickens and dogs, what else couldn’t he do? With such a person controlling the Ancient Martial World, how could the lives of all martial artists not be at risk? Did Xian Yutong not know this? There must be some unspeakable scheming behind this.

”To think that Xian Yutong would support Bei Lengshi, this practically allies the Huashan Sect with the Songshan Sect!” Dongfang Meng said somewhat worriedly.

”These two are birds of a feather,” Qing Chengyue frowned as she spoke.

”You don’t know, but in order for Xian Yutong to support him as the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, Bei Lengshi had already been colluding with him, helping Xian Yutong to become the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect. He even provided gold and beauties to Xian Yutong, allowing him to enjoy the luxuries of the Mortal World,” Xie Yuhe said gravely.

”Let’s not act rashly. I think the situation is not as simple as it seems. It’s just the beginning. Let’s see what other tricks Bei Lengshi has up his sleeve,” Ye Tianchen said after a moment of shock.

”The Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, Xian Yutong, supports my election as the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. I thank Sect Leader Xian for his high regard. Does anyone have any other nominations?” Bei Lengshi asked with feigned humility.

”I, Xian Yutong, will say this upfront: the Huashan Sect supports Master Bei becoming the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. Anyone who dares to harm Master Bei will be at odds with both the Huashan and Songshan Sects,” Xian Yutong stated coldly.

This statement infuriated many people internally, but they dared not speak out. With just the Songshan Sect, they were already a formidable foe. Now the Huashan Sect had joined them in collusion; who then could afford to offend Xian Yutong and Bei Lengshi?

”Xian Yutong has really set his heart on being Bei Lengshi’s dog!”

”Ah, if only the senior Feng Qingyang were in the Huashan Sect. With such base and shameless people, how could they possibly become the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect?”

”What now? The Huashan Sect has already joined forces with the Songshan Sect. The other major sects are unlikely to support each other either. Are we really going to watch Bei Lengshi become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World?”

At that moment, Bei Wei couldn’t help but laugh coldly at Du Wanli, ”Du Wanli, if you have the guts, stand up and oppose it. See if you don’t get obliterated here.”

Du Wanli furrowed his brows deeply. He hadn’t expected Bei Lengshi to make his move so soon and that Xian Yutong of the Huashan Sect had already been bought over. As the only one from the Five Poison Sect who had arrived here, even with the Poision Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand, he couldn’t unleash its full power like the Ancestor Poison Saint. He was no match for Bei Lengshi and could only swallow his anger, hoping his father Du Tianqi would arrive soon.

”Any other objections?” Bei Wei asked disdainfully, glancing over at Du Wanli and arrogantly addressing everyone present.

Dongfang Meng, Qing Chengyue, and Xie Yuhe, three great beauties of the Ancient Martial Sects, looked at one another. It was time for them to unite and collaborate; the power of just one person or one sect was not enough to contend with Bei Lengshi. Only by joining forces could they possibly stand a chance.

Unexpectedly, just as the three of them were preparing to stand up and oppose him collectively, an old hunchback, a loose cultivator, once again stepped forward with a generous air ready to meet his death. He walked to the middle of the area and turned to address all the martial artists, ”Martial Arts fellows, in his quest to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, Bei Lengshi has resorted to every conceivable tactic. Have you not seen it? If such a person becomes the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, do we still have a way to survive? Don’t be afraid; we must unite, or we all have only death to face!”

”You old undying creature, you’ve caused trouble in my Songshan Sect time and time again, and now you dare insult my father—die!”

Bei Wei made his move. This time, he brought his hands together and slashed down a tremendous Qi Force towards the old hunchback, startling everyone present. Du Wanli no longer dared to intervene, as Bei Lengshi was sitting in the highest position. Making a move in front of Bei Lengshi was a death wish, wasn’t it? Among those present, no one was as powerful as Bei Lengshi.

This time, as Bei Wei launched his assault to kill the old hunchback, everyone could only watch. They dared not utter a word—Bei Lengshi’s cultivation was not for show, immensely powerful. No one there could possibly defeat him; they could only watch helplessly as the old hunchback was being killed.

The old hunchback seemed to realize that standing up this time would mean his end. Even if he had not stood up, having offended the Songshan Sect just earlier meant that Bei Lengshi and his son would surely not let him off.

”I, the old hunchback, have cultivated in the Ancient Martial World my entire life. My cultivation may be modest, but I know the bottom line of being human and preserving basic dignity. Since I dared to stand out, I never thought about leaving alive. I only hope you all can awaken!” the old hunchback yelled to everyone present.

Bang!

Powerful Qi Force crashed down. The old hunchback did not attempt to resist; he knew with his cultivation, it was impossible to resist. Having cultivated in the Ancient Martial World his entire life, although only achieving the late-stage Martial King realm, the old hunchback had always been upright and strong. This time, he was even prepared to use his life to awaken the other martial artists, to not be stepping stones for Bei Lengshi.

As everyone fixed their gaze, the old hunchback did not die. In front of him stood a woman—Ye Tianchen. It was Ye Tianchen who had intervened to block Bei Wei’s lethal move and had saved the old hunchback.

”Thank you, miss, for your intervention!” the old hunchback gratefully said.

”The elder deserves our respect. Haven’t you come to your senses yet? Only by resisting together against the Songshan Sect can we avoid being exploited by Bei Lengshi,” Ye Tianchen also loudly said to all the martial artists.

”I, Bei Lengshi, do not casually take lives, but you have been relentlessly aggressive, repeatedly tarnishing my reputation, and insulting my Songshan Sect. I have no choice but to kill you!”

Boom Boom Boom!

Bei Lengshi made his move, merely extending a huge palm, and the entire sky darkened. The immense Martial Arts pressure hadn’t even fallen yet, and already, Ye Tianchen and the old hunchback felt their blood surge. Everyone present hastily circulated the Martial Arts True Power within their bodies for protection. Xie Yuhe, Qing Chengyue, and Dongfang Meng desperately wanted to rush forward to assist Ye Tianchen, but found that the area where Ye Tianchen and the old hunchback stood was isolated by a powerful force of Martial Arts, impossible to penetrate. Bei Lengshi was intent on killing, to silence them permanently.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen knew he was no match for Bei Lengshi, yet, waiting passively for death was absolutely not his style. He immediately unleashed a golden fist light, meeting the descending palm of Bei Lengshi head-on.

Bei Lengshi frowned, coldly remarking, ”What formidable power. With just the move you made, you could easily rank among the top contenders of the younger generation in the entire Ancient Martial World. It’s a pity you won’t have the chance...”

”What formidable power. Bei Lengshi is too formidable!”

”Wrong place, wrong time. Should not have sought death by provoking Bei Lengshi.”

”We might as well let him rule the Ancient Martial World. Otherwise, we are likely all going to die here.”

Bei Lengshi’s hand came crashing down, directly sealing off the surroundings of Ye Tianchen and the old hunchback, preventing their escape. The old hunchback, already pale, collapsed on the ground. Some of the martial artists of slightly lower cultivation also paled, nearly collapsing. The high realm of Martial Saint was too overwhelming. Ye Tianchen, struggling to hold on, felt as if his bones were about to break. Indeed, the gap between him and Bei Lengshi was too enormous. This time, he feared he might be utterly annihilated right here...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation ticket and monthly ticket.
