Chapter 530: All of you, why not join my ranks?

The Yin Dragon Holy Son waved his hand; a Yin Dragon appeared in his palm, and with a pinch of his hand the Yin Dragon vanished, leaving a pearl within.

The Heaven Ghost origin was forcibly extracted by the Yin Dragon.

It condensed into a pearl; holding this pearl, he felt the vast origin within, a Heaven Ghost origin not of this world, a slight touch enough to cause their metamorphosis. The Yin Dragon Holy Son exclaimed excitedly, "Indeed it works—Heaven Ghost Pearl, Heaven Ghost origin, I have finally obtained it."

"This Holy Son has been scheming for over a hundred years, and finally this day has arrived."

"Heaven Ghost True Person, you once tried to extract my origin; who would have thought that one day I would extract your origin, right?"

The Heaven Ghost could not protect the Heaven Ghost True Person; instead it seized all of him, suppressing his consciousness. Had it not been during the battle, the Heaven Ghost True Person might have been swallowed outright by that Heaven Ghost, becoming part of it.

At that point, he would no longer be the Heaven Ghost True Person, but a true Heaven Ghost.

The Yin Dragon Holy Son stared at the unconscious Yin Ghost True Person, shook his head and said, "What a pity—its origin and lifespan have been over‑consumed; it is already ruined."

Its lifespan is nearly exhausted.

The origin is essentially spent, its potential drained along with it; even after waking later it cannot breakthrough, let alone reach that realm. This battle exhausted everything, sealing this fate for the Yin Ghost True Person.

Conversely, the others of the Yin Ghost Sect suffered little loss, their strength reduced to a tenth at most.

Elder Six and Elder Eight stepped forward, blocking Elder Four and the Yin Ghost True Person, preventing the Yin Dragon Holy Son from approaching them.

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, you cannot come forward."

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, what are you trying to do?"

Elder Four stared intently at the Yin Dragon Holy Son, feeling a hint of fear; the Holy Son's power gave him pressure, a pressure akin to facing the Heaven Ghost True Person.

He is a disciple of the Heaven Ghost True Person, having received the True Person's authentic transmission; he is not comparable to the Yin Killer Holy Son.

Within the Yin Ghost Sect, the Holy Son with the strongest innate talent is also the future strongest foundation of the Yin Ghost Sect.

However, this person does not seem loyal to the Yin Ghost Sect.

"You cannot stop this Holy Son, Elder Four, Elder Six, Elder Eight; it is best that you do not impede this Holy Son."

The Yin Dragon Holy Son advanced, and the three Elders—Four, Six, and Eight—remained unmoved.

They stared at him, ready to act at any moment.

The Yin Dragon Holy Son halted, giving a cold stare; anyone who met his gaze immediately lowered their head.

Elder Six and Elder Eight lowered their heads, and the following Elder Nine, Elder Ten, and Elder Eleven also bowed their heads.

Elder Four did not lower his head; clutching the Yin Ghost True Person, he roared, "How dare you disrespect the sect leader—it's an insult to us!"

"Elder Six, Elder Eight, Elder Nine, Elder Ten, Elder Eleven, the sect leader suffered such misery protecting us; how could we abandon the sect leader?"

The Yin Dragon Holy Son sneered, "Elder Four, this Holy Son advises you to be sensible and not stubbornly resist."

"This Holy Son's patience is limited; I do not wish to kill you, so hand over the Yin Ghost True Person."

Elder Four shouted angrily, "Dream on, you want to take the sect leader and step over my corpse."

"Clap clap clap." The Yin Dragon Holy Son clapped.

"Bold move, Elder Four; they all bowed, yet you still resist. Then it starts with you."

He reached out, about to strike.

Elder Six and Elder Eight stepped forward, raising their hands to block.

The Yin Dragon Holy Son narrowed his eyes, staring at the two.

Elder Nine, Elder Ten, and Elder Eleven all stepped forward; the five Elders positioned themselves in front of the Yin Ghost True Person.

This time they did not retreat, standing firmly before the Yin Ghost True Person.

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, do not bring ruin upon yourself."

"Yin Dragon Holy Son, we do not wish to fight you; if you insist on harming the sect leader, then we have no choice but to kill you."

The Elders would not be outdone; at a moment like this, they could not step back.

The sect leader, having protected them, has already fallen unconscious; if they flee now, what kind of people would they become?

"Hmph."

The Yin Dragon Holy Son let out a cold snort, sneering, "Elders, originally this Holy Son did not intend to kill you, but you seek death; therefore, I have no choice but to kill you."

He raised his hand, ready to kill.

Not far away.

The hidden crowd acted in an instant.

The Heavenly Heart Sect was surrounded; the Spirit Sword Sect, the Great Qi Dynasty, and the Monster Race all joined the attack.

Encircling the Heavenly Heart Sect, the Heaven Sword Daoist stared at Xinran Daoist, his gaze indifferent: "Elder Xinran, what does this mean? Does the Spirit Sword Sect truly intend to oppose my Heavenly Heart Sect?"

On the other side, Tianlian Zhenren was blocked; a Monster Race Green Deer Demon General stood before her, preventing her from leaving or assisting.

Blocking her is enough; the rest is left to these humans.

"Green Deer Demon General, stay in your den; how dare you block this True Person, are you not afraid of my Heavenly Heart Sect's retaliation?"

"Today you dared to act; in the future the Monster Race will surely regret your move today."

The Green Deer Demon General gave a cold smile: "Tianlian Zhenren, do not threaten this General; this General is quite timid."

"The Heavenly Heart Sect is indeed powerful; had it been the Heavenly Heart Sect of centuries ago, this General might have left immediately."

"However, today's Heavenly Heart Sect has long lost its former glory."

"Today, you all will surely die here."

One human and one demon general faced off, each stalemated, neither striking immediately.

Tianlian Zhenren hesitated repeatedly; once she acted, she could no longer aid her senior brother.

The disciples, surrounded by the Monster Race, the Black Dragon Guard and others, faced the start of a hunt.

Those people had been lying in ambush for a long time, waiting for this moment.

"Damn it."

The Heaven Sword Daoist's fury rose sky‑high as he watched disciple after disciple fall.

In a duel, the Heavenly Heart Sect's disciples fear no one, except when they are two against one or three against one.

Outnumbered and outmatched, their two fists cannot contend with four hands.

Ah—.

Save me.

I don't want to die.

The Heavenly Heart Sect's disciples fell one by one; they were slaughtered and betrayed.

The one who struck was ruthless and cruel.

On the ground, many corpses quickly accumulated.

These people fell one by one, most of them being Heavenly Heart Sect disciples.

Jing Yuheng and White Wolf Deputy Hall Master rushed in, unleashing a bloodbath.

A massacre began.

"Step aside, Xinran Zhanglao."

Xinran Zhanglao shook his head: "Heaven Sword Daoist, you—don't be angry; after they die, it will soon be your turn."

"The Heavenly Heart Sect has provoked widespread anger; we have long wanted to kill you all."

"By Faction command, Xinran dares not disobey."

Draw sword.

Technique swirled, the two sword styles clashed.

Sword moves countered each other, one after another; Xinran Zhanglao wouldn't let him escape, continuously pressing him.

The more they fought, the more terrified the Heaven Sword Daoist became; trying to leave, he found himself sinking into a Technique mire, struggling only to sink deeper.

"Damn it, Xinran Zhanglao, do you really intend to oppose my Heavenly Heart Sect?"

"Heaven Sword Daoist, it's not that I oppose you; it's that you insist on opposing us."

Xinran Zhanglao waved his hand, a sword slash pierced the Heaven Sword Daoist's arm, a wound appearing.

"Your Heavenly Heart Sect controls too many resources, yet you confine us to a corner; you are guilty."

Huai Bi confesses guilt.
