Chapter 881

Cui Wu looked at Su Ming, his eyes flickering with a ghostly light.

"Hehe, Big Brother, Second Brother, that middle-aged Venerable is not the biggest surprise."

"This little friend, young as he is, likely already has the strength of a Venerable realm."

"He is the most perfect human vessel."

As he spoke, he swept a glance at Su Ming.

Upon hearing this, the two elders were greatly shocked.

"W-what!"

"To break into the Venerable realm while looking only about twenty years old?"

"What kind of heaven-defying genius is this?"

"He is simply a heaven-sent immortal-grade cauldron."

The two elders' voices trembled, shock and excitement rising in their hearts simultaneously.

Their smiles were truly difficult to conceal.

Ni Shuang had a simple personality; after all, she had grown up in the apocalypse and rarely interacted with people.

Therefore, she hadn't noticed much amiss along the way.

Only now did she realize something was truly wrong.

"Hey, you old men, what are you talking about? Didn't you say you were going to host us!" she said, confused and angry.

As she spoke, the ice Qi she had been brewing in her hand blossomed into over a dozen long spears, hovering in mid-air and pointing outward to protect everyone.

"Hehe, little girl, our hospitality consists of flaying your skin, pulling your tendons, and letting you become a part of our 'Sect Master' lord."

"You also have the strength of the Golden Core realm. Don't worry, we won't waste your corpse," Cui Wu sneered.

The Golden Core realm he spoke of was equivalent to the fifth-turn strength of a job-changer.

Hearing the elders' words, Su Ming, Yan Ze, and Wan Wu remained calm.

Because they had already communicated privately and knew a battle was coming.

"Su Ming, it looks like we have to fight them!" Ji Yao said with a tense expression, taking out her staff to prepare to summon the undead.

She had thought this was truly a righteous sect because Cui Wu had appeared elegant and spoke with restraint earlier.

Now it seemed they were a thorough and utter evil sect!

"Correct, attack with all your might!" Yan Ze said.

Jiang Yunqing hurriedly chanted, applying buffs to everyone.

As a fifth-turn soul-support Archmage, her buff skills were not only group-wide but also extremely powerful.

In an instant, all of Su Ming's attributes increased by about 15%!

Su Ming's cold eyes were sharp, his posture standing firm.

"I thought you would keep pretending for a while longer; I didn't expect you to tear off your masks so quickly."

He smiled indifferently.

In the sky, Xiao Ming was circling, providing Su Ming with high-altitude vision.

He could see that over a hundred disciples of the sect were all brandishing weapons and channeling their cultivation arts, gathering toward the main sect hall.

It was a scene of an impending siege!

"Haha, you youngsters, having ventured deep into our sect hall, you cannot escape!"

The three elders laughed.

Afterward, they suddenly formed hand seals, activating the sect-protecting array.

In an instant, all the carvings on the stone pillars of the Sect Master's hall began to shimmer with brilliance.

A dark purple membrane emerged, sealing and shrouding the entire mountain; no one could escape, and no one could attack from the outside.

At the same time, other arrays began to glow, starting to suppress the attributes of Su Ming, Yan Ze, Wan Wu, and the others.

The Second Elder wore a cold smile, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent.

"A young Venerable, a middle-aged Venerable, two Venerables together."

"If we were outside, we might find it difficult to take you down and would have to weigh our options."

"But here, this is our sect, our territory."

"We have long since laid out various arrays to suppress the outsiders we lure in."
