“Who are you?” Li Qing looked at the person who spoke.

“I am the descendant of the Ninth Elder. I am only here to train as Hall Master. I will return to the Myriad Devil Palace to cultivate in the future.” The man said proudly.

Li Qing looked at him indifferently and said, “I said just now that subordinates who disobey orders are useless! No matter what kind of descendant of an elder you are, the outcome will be the same.”

After he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm and smashed into this person’s body, turning into a puddle of meat.

When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately frightened to the point that their souls flew into the sky and their faces turned pale. He was killed by a single palm strike after merely questioning it! Even the descendants of the elders dared to kill him. This Holy Son’s temper seemed to be much more brutal than he had imagined!

Li Qing said with a dignified expression, “I repeat, you don’t need to doubt anything I’ve said. You just need to do as I say. If anyone dares to slack off, these two will be your fate.”

The two puddles of meat were placed in the lobby just like that. The lesson from the past made everyone’s hearts shiver. How could they dare to joke about their own lives?

“I will obey the orders of the Holy Son!” Everyone was convinced and didn’t dare to complain.

“Alright, all of you go down. Yin Qianyu, stay.”

“Subordinate, please leave!” Everyone wiped away their cold sweat as if they had been granted an amnesty and fled the place one after another.

“Yin Qianyu, how did you investigate the matter I asked you to inquire about?” Li Qing asked.

Yin Qianyu took out a pamphlet and handed it to Li Qing. “This is the current situation of the Eight Desolate Sect. The names and information of the sect masters, elders, peak masters, and direct disciples are all recorded on this pamphlet.”

Li Qing took it and casually flipped through it. Many familiar names appeared in front of him.

“Golden Emperor Peak Master, have you been transferred to the back mountain to guard the temple?” Li Qing whispered to himself.

The Golden Emperor Peak Master was precisely the main character who caused this tragedy back then. If he wanted to take revenge, he should be the first to find him.

“Ji Luofeng, this traitor actually ascended to the position of Peak Master!” A trace of hatred appeared in his eyes.

Ji Luofeng was the direct disciple of Lord Flaming Sun Peak back then, but in the end, he betrayed them, framed them, and falsely accused Lord Flaming Sun Peak of wanting to rebel and leave the Eight Desolate Sect to stand on his own.

Apart from that, there were also many people who were about the same age as Li Qing, all of whom held high positions.

“You’ve done a very good job with this information. Let’s go down first.”

“Yes, this subordinate will retire.” Yin Qianyu turned around.

“Actually, you don’t have to be so restrained in front of me. We’ve known each other for a long time.” Li Qing suddenly said.

Yin Qianyu stiffened and said, “What if I do something wrong and the Holy Son kills me in anger? Just like those two people just now.”

“Even if I wanted to kill you, Demon Lord Yin Tianhong would not sit idly by. Your identity is not simple! Otherwise, why would you always appear beside me?”

“This is just a coincidence.”

“Stop pretending. There’s no need for you and me to act so unfamiliar. Just like before.”

“Aiyo, you really scared me to death this time.” Yin Qianyu returned to her usual unrestrained posture. As she spoke, she gently patted her plump chest. “Do you know how frightening it was just now? I’m really afraid that your palm would turn me into meat paste.”

“That’s right. Don’t I know your character?” Li Qing smiled.

‘”Who told you to raise your status so much at once? A dignified Saint Son, under one person, above ten thousand people, I don’t dare to offend you so easily. Of course, I have to serve you carefully. By the way, when will you leave for Yunzhou City?”

“How is the situation there?” Li Qing asked.

“A decisive battle is taking place. The situation is very intense. If you go now, you should be able to catch up.”

“Are you in a decisive battle? The Eight Desolate Sect … After so many years, we are finally going to meet again. Your doomsday will begin today.” A cold light flashed in Li Qing’s eyes.

At this moment, the battle before Cloud Continent City had reached a white-hot stage. The Eight-Colored Army of the Eight Desolate Sect had suffered heavy injuries and was seriously damaged by the impregnable defenses of the city.

However, Cloud Continent City was not undamaged. With such a long period of fierce attacks, it had almost reached its limit, and it was only a step away from breaking through.

The main battle still took place above the Nine Heavens. It was a decisive battle between Void Realm experts.

Three Void Realm experts were holding three Dao Artifacts in their hands, facing five Void Realm experts and one Dao Artifact!

The result was obvious. The power of the three Dao Artifacts was simply heaven-destroying and earth-destroying. They were simply not something that ordinary Void Realm cultivators could contend against.

After fighting for half a day, the five Void Realm experts were defeated without any suspense, and most of them were seriously injured.

“Haha, where are you fleeing to!” Patriarch Youshui’s voice was mournful and fierce like a fierce ghost. He held the Mysterious Water Divine Sword in his hand and slashed fiercely, chasing after the five people who had fled.

Ever since she was injured by Lord Flaming Sun Peak’s explosion, her personality had become more and more moody, twisted, and she liked to kill people to vent her anger.

“You have no way out. Where can you escape to? Yunzhou City is about to be destroyed. As long as we make our move, you will definitely not be able to defend it. At that time, you will also die!” Daoist Jin Xuan said.

“I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. If you continue to resist like this, there will be no chance! The cultivation of Void Realm experts is not easy. If you die here, then everything will dissipate. What’s the point of losing everything?” Adept Qing Yuan also tried to persuade them from the side.

“Surrender is impossible. You don’t have to waste your breath!” The five Void Realm experts fled back to Yunzhou City in a sorry state, their faces pale and ashen.

“This time, I really lost. Yunzhou City was almost unable to hold on. If those three people empty-handed, the grand defensive formation would definitely be broken. Everyone, tell me what to do.” Someone said anxiously.

“We can only evacuate! Yunzhou City can no longer be defended. Staying here is not a problem. We still have our own sect’s inheritance. At that time, we can still fight a beautiful turnaround!” The people from the Tai Hao Sword Sect said.

The Cloud Continent City Lord had a sad expression on his face. This Cloud Continent City was his entire inheritance. If he abandoned it, wouldn’t he be left alone?

These Void Realm experts were only people from their respective factions. Naturally, they would not risk their lives to protect him. In times of crisis, they would definitely abandon the city and flee.

At the end of the day, they still didn’t have the strength to threaten him together.

If he really put in all of his strength, then how could the forces of the entire Cloud Province not be able to defeat an Eight Desolate Sect that had long since declined?

Although they were gathered here in Cloud Continent City, they basically only brought a portion of the experts with them. More than half of them remained in the sect, leaving behind a path of retreat.

Even if they lost this battle, they still had hope of reviving. They even abandoned their sect and fled to other places, leaving a lot of room for choice.

City Lord Yun Zhou would not blame them too much. As the masters of the various major powers, he naturally had to make all sorts of plans.

At this moment, there was a loud rumble and the city shook. Then, there was a burst of cheers, “The city is broken, the city is broken!”

“Kill, follow me in and capture the city!”

“Surrender! Surrender!”

All sorts of voices rose and fell one after another, and the sounds of battle became even more intense. Many miserable screams came from within.

“Hurry up and run. If you hesitate any longer, there won’t be a chance! Those old fellows from the Eight Desolate Sect will definitely come here. Don’t be ruined by them!” Someone hurriedly said.

“City Lord Yun Zhou, come with us as well. Yun Zhou City will definitely not be able to defend itself. It’s still too late for you to leave with your family and friends and go to another place to fight against the Eight Desolate Sect!” Someone persuaded.

City Lord Yun Zhou knew that what they said was correct. He should immediately run away now, so he could no longer hesitate.

He couldn’t help but sigh as he looked around. This ancient city emitted the most resplendent light in his hands, but in the end, it ended in such a manner. He was somewhat unwilling.

But no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do. His strength was inferior to others, so what could he do?

If he didn’t run away, not to mention whether he could take away his friends and relatives, it might even be difficult for him to escape.

“Alright then. Everyone, prepare yourselves, and then we’ll evacuate together!” City Lord Yun Zhou said helplessly.

He returned to the city, waved his sleeve, and the power of heaven and earth wrapped around dozens of his relatives, preparing to take them away together.

After walking halfway, he recalled, “Yes, there are also people from the Liu Clan. Liu shi is dead. If I can’t take care of his family’s safety, wouldn’t I be ashamed of them?”

However, when he arrived in Liu Mansion, he discovered that this place was empty. With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw Liu Ke’er, Wen Xiao Xian, and Princess Lingzhu quietly sitting inside, drinking tea, and not feeling the slightest bit anxious.

“Why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and escape.” Yun Zhou City Lord said.

“Uncle Zhou, you’re here. We’re not in a hurry. If you want to escape, you can leave at any time.” Liu Ke’er smiled.

“Strange, why are there only the three of you? Where are the Liu Clan’s people?” Yun Zhou City Lord asked.

Liu Ke’er took out the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle and said, “It’s inside. It’s very safe. If Uncle Zhou has any relatives or friends who want to leave, we can also take them with us.”

“What is this?” When the City Lord of Cloud Province saw this bottle, he felt that it was unusual.

This Dao Artifact was of great importance, but Liu Ke’er could not explain it in detail. She could only say perfunctorily, “The situation is urgent now, so I won’t say anything more about it. Anyway, it’s enough to take a lot of people away.”

“Forget it. All of you have extraordinary cultivation and aren’t important targets. If you want to escape, there shouldn’t be any problems.” As Yun Zhou City Lord spoke, he couldn’t help but glance at Princess Lingzhu a few more times, as if he had sensed something.

He had never seen Princess Lingzhu before. After all, there was no relationship between the two of them. It was only now that they had met for the first time.

“I wonder what this girl’s name is. If I’m not mistaken, she seems to be someone from the same path.” Yun Zhou City Lord asked.

“That’s right. My name is Spirit Pearl, and I have just entered the Void Realm. It was Wen Xiao’s first wife, right?” Princess Lingzhu smiled.

“It really is the Void Realm!” The Yunzhou City Lord sucked in a breath of cold air. Where had Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao’xian been all these years? Even the Void Realm experts had been brought back.

More importantly, a Void Realm expert was actually Wen Xiaoxian’s wife?

He felt that it was hard to believe, and there were many questions in his heart that remained unanswered. However, this was not the place to speak. The situation was dangerous, and he had to escape quickly. Therefore, he did not ask any further questions.

At this moment, an enormous pressure suddenly came from the sky. Qing Yuanzi was standing in the void, holding the Cyanwood Divine Cauldron in his hand and tossing it upwards.

The divine cauldron swelled in the wind, turning into a gigantic mountain that was as black as a divine mountain, capable of crushing the entire heavens and earth.

“You guys still want to escape? There’s no chance!” Qing Yuanzi hung the Azure Wood Divine Cauldron in the void, forming a green barrier that immediately trapped everyone inside.

“I’ll give you one more chance. Surrender!”

“Break it!” A sharp sword qi rose up and quickly cut a crack in the Azure Wood Divine Cauldron’s barrier. Then, a streak of light flew out and disappeared into the sky.

At the same time, several streaks of light flew up and took advantage of the gap to escape.

This was the gap created by the Tai Hao Divine Sword. Naturally, the barrier of the Cyanwood Divine Cauldron could not trap this Dao Artifact.

“It’s good that these Void Realm cultivators have escaped. The rest are just catching turtles in a jar. There’s no need to worry. The Battle of Cloud Continent City is already a winning battle!” Qing Yuanzi stroked his white beard and laughed heartily.

“Senior apprentice-brother is indeed a good method. You have already unleashed nearly 30% of the power of this Dao Artifact, right? I’m afraid none of the people present are your opponents!” Daoist Jin Xuan smiled.

Adept Qing Yuan had a cultivation at the sixth level of the Void Realm. He was also the oldest of the three. He was already over 400 years old. It was also because Azure Wood Peak was good at health preservation that he was still in his prime.

Generally speaking, a Void Realm expert’s body would decay and his primordial spirit would dissipate by the end of his life, causing his strength to drop by a lot.

Although the time limit for Void Realm experts was 500 years, not all Void Realm experts could live for 500 years!

It was like an ordinary person could live to be a hundred years old, but how many people could really live to that age?

Void realm experts could be said to be in their later years when they were four hundred years old. Under normal circumstances, they would just hide and try their best to avoid fighting. Only then would they be able to live longer.

For someone like Qing Yuanzi to be able to jump around like this, he was obviously someone who had cultivated to the point where he could maintain his health. His body was extremely healthy, allowing him to display his full combat strength.

Daoist Jin Xuan and Daoist You Shui were still considered young, and their current cultivation levels were both at the fourth level of the Void Realm. However, Daoist You Shui had once suffered a self-destructive injury to his body by the Flame Sun Peak Master back then, causing his foundation to tremble. As a result, his strength had fallen, and his appearance was ugly and unpleasant.

Because of this matter, her personality was very twisted, almost to the point of being abnormal.

“Then how should the people in Cloud Continent City be dealt with? In order to avoid trouble, we should just kill them all!” Patriarch Youshui said coldly.

“Don’t kill them all without moving. That will only waste your strength. If those who surrender can not be killed, those who would rather die than surrender can be killed.” Said Patriarch Jinxuan.

“Anyway, the overall situation has been decided. It’s fine how we deal with it. However, I seem to have seen an interesting scene below. The City Lord of Cloud Continent is still in the city and hasn’t come out yet!” Qing Yuanzi said.

“What? Does this fellow want to live and die with the city? Isn’t that too stupid? Haha, let’s go capture him now!”

Inside the Liu Clan’s mansion, Wen Xiaoxian, Liu Ke’er, and the others had awkward expressions on their faces.

Liu Ke’er’s hide just now was too full. She thought that Princess Lingzhu’s speed was unparalleled in the world, and no one could stop her. She could leave if she wanted to, but this kind of accident unexpectedly happened.

No one would have thought that this Azure Wood Divine Cauldron would actually have the effect of trapping people!

Alright, can they really break this barrier?

“There’s really no way to leave now. They’ve locked onto us and are flying this way!” City Lord Yun Zhou smiled bitterly.

Everyone stood up and looked up at the three divine-like figures in the sky. At this moment, they were descending with the might of a Dao Artifact.

At this critical moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

The three Void Realm experts of the Eight Desolate Sect immediately stopped in mid-air. They all raised their heads and saw that the sky above the nine heavens was already covered with violet clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth changed color. The wind and clouds surged. The entire world seemed to be shrouded in a purple light, causing everyone to be absent-minded.

“What is this situation? Where did the purple clouds come from?” Qing Yuanzi’s expression changed.

‘”I don’t know what kind of person is pretending to be a ghost. I can feel that there seems to be a power of heaven and earth brewing in the violet clouds. It should be some Void Realm expert using some kind of unique technique in the sky.”

“What kind of trump card is this? Why is it causing such a big commotion? It makes my heart skip a beat.” Patriarch Youshui had a faint look of fear on his face.

As they spoke, purple clouds suddenly gathered together, forming an incomparably large vortex. Within the vortex was a faint flash of lightning and thunder, brewing terrifying power.

This power had been brewing for a long time before slowly stretching out a large purple saber from the purple vortex bit by bit.

This purple saber was incredibly large. Just the tip of the saber appeared to be even larger than the Cloud Continent City below!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at the colossus in disbelief.

Unbelievable power! When an object was extremely large, it represented an unparalleled power that could suppress hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers and destroy everything in the world.

“No–”

A sense of powerlessness arose in the hearts of the three of them. Qing Yuanzi reacted quickly and immediately withdrew the Azure Wood Divine Cauldron, smashing into the tip of the saber.

Patriarch Jinxuan and Patriarch Youshui also regained their senses, using all their strength to activate the Dao Artifact in their hands, rising against the wind, working together to fight against this inexplicable colossus.

However, the originally incomparably huge three Dao Artifacts were somewhat insignificant against the purple tip of the saber.

In the blink of an eye, the purple broadsword had already extended more than half of its way through the vortex clouds, and its aura was growing larger and larger. However, Qing Yuanzi and the others would not allow the other party to slowly accumulate strength. They immediately controlled the Dao Artifacts and fiercely collided with them.
