“Did the Holy Son go up to Qingyun Mountain and not come down?”
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, in front of the mountain gate, the Great Elder of the Refining Sect coldly stared at a disciple.
Behind the Great Elder stood several figures dressed in black.
These were all elite disciples of the Refining Sect.
The Great Elder’s powerful aura made Wang Kunpeng’s lackey tremble and panic.
Wang Kunpeng was the Holy Son of the Refining Sect, and internally he had quite a few followers.
But now, Wang Kunpeng was missing.
He had very likely met with an accident.
However, there was no one on Qingyun Mountain who could challenge Wang Kunpeng.
“Yes, the Holy Son told us to wait at the mountain foot before he went up. He said he’d be right back.”
The disciple said in terror.
“So he just hasn’t come back down?” The Great Elder Wang Hui frowned.
Could it be that other sect’s strong practitioners had come onto the mountain?
Even those ancient fossils in the Divine Martial Realm wouldn’t find it easy to defeat Wang Kunpeng, given that he was also a powerful martial artist in the Divine Martial Realm and wore the Ten Absolute Battle Armor.
“Boss, what are we waiting for? Let’s storm the mountain and find out if the Holy Son is dead or alive!”
Another thin old man looked toward the mountain.
“Alright, let’s go up the mountain!” The Great Elder Wang Hui waved his hand and strode toward the mountain gate.
The elite disciples of the Refining Sect followed him closely.
At that moment, Xiao Yang stood under a large tree at the mountain’s peak, looking down.
“Today, I shall unleash a massacre!” Xiao Yang proclaimed as he put on a mask.
At this time, Liu Qingyun and the others had all hidden in the Qingyun Secret Realm.
The Great Elder of the Refining Sect led dozens of elite disciples swaggering up the mountain.
“What’s going on? The Qi in Qingyun Mountain…”
Great Elder Wang Hui quickly sensed something was off.
“Is the Qi reviving?”
Third Elder Wang Yue looked incredulous.
“How is this possible…”
Wang Hui exchanged a glance with Wang Yue, both seeing the shock mirrored in each other’s eyes.
The Earth’s veins of Qingyun Mountain had been destroyed by the masters of the Demon Sect when they attacked the Qingyun Sect years ago. The spiritual Qi here couldn’t possibly revive!
Yet, the spiritual Qi here was indeed far more concentrated than that outside the mountain.
They quickened their pace.
Before long, they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Just then, a figure appeared on a nearby ridge.
It was none other than Jiang Qitian, the Sect Leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect.
“Xiao Yang, I’ll see how you scale the snowy heights!” Jiang Qitian coldly gazed at the towering Qingyun Mountain.
At this moment, several mysterious figures quietly entered Qingyun Mountain.
There were indeed quite a few people wanting Xiao Yang’s life.
“Xiao Yang, this time, you’re dead for sure!” Qin Fei had also arrived.
After Xiao Yang self-destructed his dantian, he had become a complete waste.
In Qin Fei’s eyes, there was no way for Xiao Yang to escape this calamity.
Because he had invited the infamous Tian Can Old Demon from the Demon Sect.
Tian Can Old Demon was someone who had once single-handedly blocked Huang Tian and other three major masters outside Nine Heavens City.
The renowned assassin from the Demon Sect, Mo Hongyue, had also come.
The assassins from Smoke Rain Tower were also on the move.
In the blink of an eye, no one knew how many pairs of eyes were focused on Qingyun Mountain.
Xiao Yang needed this effect.
He wanted to draw all his enemies to Qingyun Mountain and then eliminate them without a trace.
With the mask on, he felt carefree.
He didn’t want the world to know his true strength.
What he needed to do now was to use the blood of these guys to intimidate those who wished to have their designs on the Qingyun Sect.
Xiao Yang didn’t initiate the massacre right away.
He let the people from the Refining Sect directly ascend Qingyun Mountain.
At this moment, the top ten sects had also arrived.
The leader of the Heguan Sect, Nie Ruyan.
The master of the Carefree Palace, Hua Linglong.
They did not enter Qingyun Mountain but merely watched from outside.
Even the Fuyiao Sword Sect had appeared nearby Qingyun Mountain.
Soon, the Refining Sect’s people, under the leadership of the Great Elder and Third Elder, charged up to the peak of Qingyun Mountain.
At this point, Xiao Yang, donning his mask, set up a chair and sat on the steps in front of the Qingyun Great Hall.
The Great Elder Wang Hui and Third Elder Wang Yue, along with dozens of elite disciples of the Refining Sect, walked onto the square in front of the Qingyun Great Hall.
They crossed the square and reached the steps leading to the main hall.
“Enough with your tricks, where is Liu Qingyun? Tell him to come out and face me!” Wang Hui coldly glared at Xiao Yang sitting in the chair on the steps.
At this moment, Xiao Yang was wearing a mask, and his aura was completely different.
No one could recognize him.
Because during the national competition, he self-destructed his dantian, becoming a wastrel.
Yet now, with the mask on, he deliberately released a wave of Qi Fluctuation.
“Get lost, or you’ll die!” Xiao Yang’s voice was hoarse.
“Haha…”
Hearing this, Great Elder Wang Hui couldn’t help but burst into derisive laughter.
“With you hiding and peeking, too afraid to show your true face, you dare to speak wastefully before me?”
Wang Hui’s laughter faded, his expression turning cold as he narrowed his eyes at Xiao Yang.
“Looks like you want to die.”
Xiao Yang replied indifferently.
“Unbelievable, slaughter him with knives!” Wang Hui pointed his right hand towards Xiao Yang on the steps.
The elite disciples of the Refining Sect immediately dispersed, three figures leaping up, and simultaneously slashing their knives at Xiao Yang on the steps.
With a swing of his right hand, Xiao Yang sent three heads soaring into the air, the three headless corpses crashing down onto the steps.
Scarlet blood stained the steps.
The three heads rolled onto the square like soccer balls.
“…”
The Refining Sect members were all dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene.
Great Elder Wang Hui and Third Elder Wang Yue fixed their deadly gaze on Xiao Yang, who was masked and casually lounging in the chair.
“Who on earth are you?” Wang Hui locked onto Xiao Yang.
“The show is just beginning!” Xiao Yang said as he stood up from the chair, his icy gaze penetrating through the mask, looking down at the people on the steps.
Like a ruler gazing down upon mere ants below.
All members of the Refining Sect were shaken to their core.
How could there be such a powerful expert stationed on Qingyun Mountain?
That’s impossible!
Wasn’t Qingyun Mountain just home to a few insignificant figures like Liu Qingyun?
The Refining Sect did not act rashly; they had investigated thoroughly before storming Qingyun Mountain!
In recent days, there had been no sign of any strong practitioners on Qingyun Mountain.
In fact, Xiao Yang, that wastrel, had been scurrying around the mountain—who knew what this guy was up to.
In their opinion, Xiao Yang was just a cripple who had self-exploded his dantian; they didn’t take him seriously at all.
The focus was on Ling Xian’er.
You need to realize that Ling Xian’er is now the strongest presence in the Qingyun Sect.
Her master, Liu Qingyun, only has the strength of the Divine Ability Realm and isn’t even in the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Whereas Ling Xian’er was different.
She possessed the Sacred Body of Taiyin and has entered the Divine Martial Realm.
Capturing Ling Xian’er equated to capturing the entire Qingyun Sect.
As for Xiao Yang and Liu Qingyun, they were just two wasteful figures, unworthy of attention.
However, who could have expected that a mysterious powerhouse suddenly appeared from the Qingyun Sect?
At this moment, Jiang Qitian, on a ridge near Qingyun Mountain, was also taken aback.
Who is this masked guy?
Not only Jiang Qitian, even those lurking in the shadows were equally surprised.
“How is this possible…”
Qin Fei recognized the dragon-shaped golden mask that Xiao Yang was wearing.
If it really was that person, then everyone who entered Qingyun Mountain today would be doomed!
Qin Fei thought of that person’s formidable and terrifying presence, breaking into a cold sweat.
“It can’t be that person, right!”
Qin Fei found it hard to believe. Could there indeed be some unknown connection between Xiao Yang and that person?
At this moment, in front of the Qingyun Great Hall, the members of the Refining Sect had surrounded the masked Xiao Yang.
The clash of weapons echoed as these elite disciples in black donned the battle armor crafted by the Refining Sect.
Though these armors couldn’t compare to Wang Kunpeng’s Ten Absolute Battle Armor, they were still high-quality products made by the Refining Sect.
Third Elder Wang Yue waved his right hand, and three sharp blades suddenly shot forth from the back of the metallic glove on his right hand.
“Kill him!”
Great Elder Wang Hui also donned his battle armor.
Xiao Yang, appearing calm, stood in the middle of the encirclement.
These disciples of the Refining Sect all possessed strength in the Divine Ability Realm, each a highly skilled elite.
Their equipment was also crafted by the sect’s refining experts.
With a command from the Great Elder, dozens of Refining Sect disciples immediately launched their attack on Xiao Yang.
Some released poisoned needles, others threw flying daggers.
Some directly hurled thunder-fire bombs at Xiao Yang.
And others unleashed their flying swords.
In a moment, these dozens of Refining Sect disciples exhibited their capabilities, inundating Xiao Yang with numerous hidden weapons and bizarre weapons.
The Great Elder of the Refining Sect was especially devious, sending a flying blade to sneak in among all the hidden weapons, circling behind Xiao Yang, aiming for his back head.
However, the next moment, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded unfolded.
All the various hidden weapons and weapons launched at Xiao Yang came to a sudden stop in mid-air, just before hitting him.
Dozens of black-glimmering poisoned needles hovered before Xiao Yang.
“What…”
All members of the Refining Sect were utterly stunned.
Even Great Elder Wang Hui and Third Elder Wang Yue were dazed.
Because their weapons had also halted in the void.
Those weapons were spiritual artifacts!
Xiao Yang merely extended his hand and flicked a poisoned needle that was suspended in front of him.
The needle was sent flying, directly piercing the brow of a Refining Sect elite disciple.
That elite disciple immediately fell dead to the ground.
Xiao Yang then reached behind his head, retrieving a blade about the size of a palm, radiating a chilling aura, and casually swept it towards Great Elder Wang Hui.
Wang Hui was startled and quickly dodged.
Yet, the blade sliced through him like a bolt of cold lightning, severing him in two.
A once-majestic Great Elder of the Refining Sect just fell to his own crafted spiritual weapon.
The hidden observers on Qingyun Mountain were paralyzed with fear and attempted to flee the mountain.
However, it was already too late.
“Formation, activate!”
With Xiao Yang’s bellow, the great formation of Qingyun Mountain instantly began to operate, trapping everyone on the mountain.
