Chapter 939: Confronting the Universal Music Academy

”Sect Master Xiahou, no matter how many times you try to convince us, our conviction and determination to avenge our Sect Master will not change! We will kill the bastard that killed our Sect Master! The only way to stop us is if you kill us all right here and now!” Elder Chen exclaimed in a loud voice.

Sect Master Xiahou rubbed her temples and sighed, feeling like she was dealing with children who can only listen but not comprehend her words.

”Listen. You wonʼt even get the chance to avenge your Sect Master. I donʼt need to kill you because youʼll all die if you try to kill Yuan.”

”You donʼt know the true horror of his strength since you were not there to witness it, but the man who killed your Sect Master is not someone to be trifled with! Even if you bring 10,000 experts, he will easily kill all of you without breaking a sweat! If youʼre just going there to die, you might as well kill yourselves right now. At least that will save you some time and headaches.”

”Hmph! I heard that man is only a peak Spirit Lord! We have two Spirit Kings and fifty Spirit Lords here! Not to mention our Spirit Masters, which is over 9,000! Are you saying that he, as a peak Spirit Lord, is strong enough to defeat all of us?! Thatʼs ridiculous!”

Sect Master Xiahou frowned and said, ”I will warn you one last time. Turn around and leave! Otherwise, youʼll be walking straight to your deaths!”

”I refuse!” Elder Chen declared in a booming voice that made the blood of the disciples behind him boil with excitement.

”I shouldʼve listened to the other Sect Masters. They were all willing to let you die without even giving you a chance. Unfortunately, I have wasted my time by coming here. I will tell Yuan to meet you guys outside the sect. I donʼt want my disciples to clean your corpses afterward.”

Sect Master Xiahou shook her head and began flying back to the sect.

Once she got close to the Spirit Healing Academy, she could hear very pleasant music coming from somewhere within the sect.

ʼThis sounds like the zither. Who could be playing right now? Not even Sect Master Sun could compare to this person even during his prime days.ʼ Sect Master Xiahou could feel her body getting more energetic as she listened to the music.

The music eventually led her to Wang Xiuyingʼs hill.

ʼItʼs him? He can also play the zither with such mastery? Just what is his background?ʼ Sect Master Xiahou was shocked to see Yuan playing the zither for Wang Xiuying.

After staying in the air to listen to Yuanʼs music for many minutes, Sect Master Xiahou snapped out of her daze and finally descended beside him.

However, she didnʼt interrupt his current song and waited until he was finished before she began speaking, ”I have tried to convince the Universal Music Academy to turn around, but they have refused to listen to my warnings. They have two Spirit Kings, fifty Spirit Lords, and over 9,000 Spirit Masters.”

”Is that so?” Yuan mumbled.

He turned to look at Wang Xiuying and said, ”Sorry, but I have to leave for a bit right now. Donʼt worry, I should be back very soon.”

”Whatʼs happening? Where are you going?” She asked with a worried expression on her face.

Judging by the atmosphere and her Masterʼs expression, Wang Xiuying knew that Yuan was involved in some bad business again.

”Your Master can explain it to you.” Yuan smiled.

He then asked, ”Which direction?”

Sect Master Xiahou pointed south.

Yuan didnʼt linger any longer and immediately disappeared towards the south.

”Master! Whatʼs happening?! Please tell me!”

Sect Master Xiahou sighed and said, ”I told you that Yuan had killed the Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy, right? Well, theyʼre here for revenge.”

”What?! And youʼre going to let him fight them?! Canʼt you and the other Sect Masters do something about this?!”

She shook her head and sighed, ”We tried. Multiple times. Unfortunately, they did not heed our warnings.”

”No way…” Wang Xiuying mumbled.

Meanwhile, Yuan and the Universal Music Academy flew towards each other.

”Young Master, should I help you kill these ignorant fools?” Feng Yuxiang asked.

”No, Xiao Hua will kill them.”

”No, I will handle them by myself. This is a mess that Iʼd created, after all.” He immediately refused their help.

Sometime later, Yuan could see the Universal Music Academy and their ten-thousand-strong army of disciples.

Yuan took a deep breath and retrieved the Empyrean Overlord.

The moment Yuan noticed the Universal Music Academy, they also noticed him.

”Itʼs him! Thatʼs the bastard that killed our Sect Master!” Some of the disciples recognized Yuan from when he visited their sect to threaten them for Sun Haoʼs location.

”Everyone! The bastard that killed our Sect Master has appeared! Prepare for battle!” Elder Chen shouted out loud, alerting everyone there.

However, before they could even do anything, Elder Chen suddenly shouted again, ”W-Wait! Heʼs doing something!”

Since they were still very far away from each other, Elder Chen was unable to see Yuanʼs figure very well. However, he can clearly see Yuan lifting his arms into the sky, and he appeared to be holding something that was almost the size of his own body.

After hovering there without moving for a few moments, Yuan suddenly swung whatever he was holding in their direction.

”Shit! Scatter! SCATTER!” Elder Chen roared in a panicked voice, but alas, it was too late.

The following moment, the massive beam of sword light released by Yuan had reached their location, instantly consuming half of the disciples there.

The disciples that were consumed by this sword light were all disintegrated until there were not even ashes left.

Elder Chen had barely survived Yuanʼs Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, but he did not feel relieved even in the slightest, and his wide eyes could only stare at the destruction that was left behind by the devastating attack, which looked even worse than a battlefield that had raged on for thousands of years.

ʼThis bastard… Is he even human…?ʼ Elder Chen wondered inwardly.
