Chapter 153: Ambush on Merged Dao

"Lingwu True Person, what is this? We both came for the Phoenix Divine Beast's opportunity, yet now we stand opposed—is this necessary?" The vague old man with a grim face spoke.

They did not understand why the situation changed suddenly in an instant.

Not only the Silver Moon Divine Sect's old witch, but even Lingwu True Person defected on the spot—there must be a reason.

But they did not know.

On the flying vessel, many elders of the Profound Yang Sect looked up in shock and astonishment.

The two Merged Dao Realm powerhouses are now on our side?

The Grand Elder and others are ready to die; no matter what, we must not let the younger generation meet harm and perish here.

But now it seems we may not need to act ourselves?

Only the Tuoba Prince and his companions know that this… is Qing Xuan Zi's master; from now on, there is no need to worry.

Lingwu True Person's name shakes the East Divine Province; he is extremely powerful and protective of his own.

Only Yu Sheng, now curled inside the flying vessel's cabin, trembles for fear of being discovered by the Profound Dark Holy Land's old ancestor.

And Qin Yu also had Sect Master Yang Hao specially set up a concealment formation for him; in the future… this will become a pawn.

It can produce remarkable effects.

"Young Master, shall we… settle everything next?" Qing Xuan Zi stood beside him, his face showing a cold gleam—this was a perfect chance to perform.

How could we let it go?

My master just happens to be here; the Sword Sect's powerhouse will also arrive soon, now I can prove my standing in the Sword Sect, and in the future the Young Master will surely rely on me.

Seeing this, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "Elder Mu, get ready… to act."

"These people have already set their sights on my Profound Yang Sect, so there's no need to keep any of them."

"If there's a chance, keep them all!"

The two concealed figures' powerhouses, lurking in the dark, remain a hidden danger.

The Sword Sect's powerhouse could not possibly stay in the Profound Yang Sect.

Now, this is indeed a good opportunity.

Dealing with these people will avoid much trouble.

Letting them go, if they ever have designs against me in the future, I will find it impossible to move an inch.

Even if Merged Dao powerhouses guard the Dao, they are still not enough.

"All right, Young Master, rest assured." Bi Qing Mu gave a slight nod; previously he had not revealed his full strength, nor been detected.

If we strike from the shadows, it will have remarkable effect.

"Your identity… must be a true descendant of the Hidden World Great Sect; at Foundation Establishment you already mastered the Ancient Phoenix, your life-saving means are astonishing—I cannot see through them, and… your master is not weak either; a Venerable slays Merged Dao and turns the tables."

"This Profound Yang Sect is probably just a training ground for him; my current position is very important."

Bi Qing Mu pondered, his emotions somewhat turbulent, for now… he might be the sole Merged Dao of the Profound Yang Sect.

Equivalent to a Protector of the Dao.

If he performs well, he will be valued by those behind the Young Master—this is definitely a great opportunity.

Moreover, Bi Qing Mu believes that at this very moment, top-tier powerhouses guard the Dao in the void, but they have not appeared because the situation has not yet reached a life‑or‑death crisis.

"Boom—"

As everyone's thoughts swirled, an earth‑shaking battle erupted in the sky.

Lingwu True Person threw out a piece of emerald‑green leaf; countless laws converged, divine rhythm trembled, forming myriad sword gleams that slashed straight ahead.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The disciple who possesses an Innate Sword Heart has been found; naturally we cannot let him come to harm.

Moreover, Qing Xuan Zi emerged from the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone; he surely carries a secret.

This news must be blocked.

Otherwise, those ancient sleeping old fogies will all start to stir.

Even the Sword Sect would probably be unable to protect it.

Therefore, acting is the killing move.

"Rip—"

The void was torn apart, black light burst forth, countless sharp and fierce sword intentions enveloped the entire Qingshi Jun sky.

Compared to the earlier clash of the Yang Heaven Old Ancestor and the Profound Dark Venerable, this is stronger by countless folds; the two sides are no longer merely contemplating.

The vague old man's face changed dramatically; countless mysterious profound Dao patterns condensed, and behind him a phantom of an ancient ferocious beast loomed, spreading terrifying pressure.

He stepped forward directly, covering the sky and blocking the sun, seeking to devour heaven and earth—truly terrifying.

"Slash!"

Countless silver‑white sword gleams instantly pierced the ferocious beast phantom, causing it to shatter.

He rushed forward, turning his finger into a sword; the aged body surged with an irresistible momentum.

That old man felt immense pressure; his heart was shocked beyond measure—he had summoned a thread of ancient ferocious beast power, only to be cut apart by a single sword.

His inner self was roiled by huge waves, unable to calm.

Is this truly the power of Merged Dao?

Each sword intention made him feel his flesh pricked by blades, especially painful.

"Attack—first surround and kill Lingwu True Person!" Nine Darkness True Person shouted angrily, no longer confronting the Silver Moon Divine Sect's witch.

He stepped forward, arrived behind Lingwu True Person, and threw a punch aimed at shattering the void.

Now… if we do not deal with Lingwu True Person, let alone contend for the opportunity.

They may all end up losing their lives here.

The Profound Yang Sect's Yang Heaven Venerable, using heavenly‑tier spirit medicine, can mobilize Merged Dao strength for a short time.

Another old man concealing his aura instantly understood, intercepting the pursuing Ancestor Yangtian and the Divine Sect old woman: 'Stop.'

A formation was set up, enveloping the two, trapping them for a short time.

Boom—

A heavy, muffled roar, like thunder, True Person Lingwu simultaneously fought both, wielding an ordinary iron sword in hand, slashing nonstop.

But being besieged by the two, he eventually found it somewhat strenuous.

After all… they are both elders of the same sect, peers of the same generation; numerical advantage aside, it's ultimately hard to stay even.

"If you turn back now, you still have a chance."

"If we two join forces, you will perish here, sharing this opportunity; we have a chance to enter the Unity Dao and be reborn a second life." True Person Jiuming, his face grim, spoke.

True Person Lingwu's swordsmanship is terrifyingly profound, suppressing the two, making them feel extremely uneasy.

Unless the three join forces, it will probably be hard to resolve him quickly.

Wait for Venerable Yangtian and that old demoness to break free; then… they will be the ones doomed to die.

True Person Lingwu stood in the sky, iron sword in hand, his disheveled white hair flying wildly in the wind: 'Do you really think you can kill me?'

"Today, none of you will think of leaving."

His skin gradually became smooth and tender, emitting a white glow—a sign that he was about to burn his essence and blood.

Qing Xuan Zi emerged from the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone; this secret must not be leaked, equivalent to him and the members of the Profound Yang Sect now standing on the same front.

Bury these three here.

Just let myself fall.

Within the Sword Sect, there are still those who protect the Dao.

"Are you crazy? Risking your life for an unknown sect?" True Person Jiuming felt uneasy inside; this was a fight to the death, he would expend his life to suppress and kill both of them here.

He could not understand why.

What does the Profound Yang Sect have to do with you?

They're completely unrelated, right?

But… True Person Lingwu moved; his response was only a fierce assault.

Below, the Second Elder and Supreme Elder of the Floating Light Sect were also stunned, trembling, realizing… the Profound Yang Sect still had this connection?

Even the damn ancient great sect that produced a Sword Sect of the Sage is risking everything for it?

Reparation?

What reparation? Damn, either submit and belong, or disband the sect.

These are likely the Profound Yang Sect's trump cards; once exposed… the entire Canglan Yu, or even the Western Sea Main Domain, will fall into great chaos!

Qin Yu saw the situation above become tense, light flashing in his eyes: 'Elder Mu, attack!'

Countless emerald-green branches tore through the void, surging forward to attack!
