Chapter 351: Hurry and Apologize

"Hey!"

"Consider my feelings!"

Cang Li roared, and immediately he also raised his spear and charged.

Seeing this, Hua Chengyan promptly ordered the Hua Sect disciples to withdraw from the area.

At the moment Bian Chen learned Yuan Yao's identity, his heart trembled slightly.

Now seeing their senior brother and sister trio act directly, Bian Chen felt somewhat worried.

But the next scene made his pupils contract slightly.

The black‑clad youth swung a sword at Second Elder Wang Yangbo, shattering the opponent's defensive layer and striking his shoulder.

Flesh burst open, blood splattered!

Second Elder let out a pained groan, his eyes showing an expression of disbelief.

He immediately poured all his strength into a palm strike toward Ying Wuji.

Ying Wuji blocked it with his sword!

Yuan Yao rushed straight at Seventh Elder Rong Jin Zhi, slashing at her with a sword.

The Seventh Elder's expression shifted slightly; she swiftly summoned a long sword to parry Yuan Yao's strike, but at that critical moment a terrifying wave of spiritual power enveloped her, rendering her body immobile.

In that instant, Yuan Yao swung another sword.

"Countless Mountains, Myriad Methods—"

"Sword Suppresses All!"

The massive blade surged like an unstoppable tsunami, charging at the Seventh Elder.

Boom!

The Seventh Elder was blasted away, letting out a "waa" as she spat a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterward, the young disciples of Tianyi Sect, after their shock, tried to intervene against Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao spun, instantly forming a formation; she brushed the tip of her finger against the Phantom Spirit Sword, and blood instantly stained the blade.

"With blood to sacrifice the formation, ten thousand swords fire together!"

She half‑crouched, forcefully thrusting the Phantom Spirit Sword into the ground.

A deep, muffled roar rang out, shaking the entire earth.

In an instant, a massive, intricate formation totem suddenly rose from the ground, radiating dazzling light and expanding outward.

Simultaneously, countless sharp sword qi burst from the formation like a dense hail of arrows, sweeping toward the outer‑gate disciples of Tianyi Sect.

The Tianyi Sect disciples' faces turned pale; they never expected Yuan Yao could wield such formidable tactics.

They quickly raised their weapons to block.

At this moment, Lu Xiangxiang's heart suddenly sank a few notches; she never imagined Yuan Yao's growth speed could be so fast!

Even more terrifying than that scoundrel Ying Wuji!

Lu Xiangxiang conjured a long sword in her hand and lunged toward Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao naturally noticed Lu Xiangxiang's movement.

She flicked a glance away.

A massive net of spiritual power followed.

Intangibly, the spatial airflow seemed to warp.

Lu Xiangxiang was startled, swiftly raised her sword for a slash, aiming to cleave the invisible spiritual net!

Boom!

At that moment, Seventh Elder Rong Jin Zhi sprang to her feet, brandishing two swords, unleashing astonishing Spirit Transformation Realm power, and slashing fiercely toward Yuan Yao!

"Moon‑Listening Slash!"

This sword radiated an extremely potent sword intent.

The ground cracked open.

Yuan Yao's expression shifted slightly; she raised her sword to counter, when suddenly her Youngest Senior Brother appeared.

The two swung their swords together!

"Great Desolate Sword Method—"

"Cross Cut!"

Boom Boom Boom!

The explosions kept ringing, and the Seventh Elder was cut and sent flying.

Two "cross" sword marks remained on her body, one deep and one shallow.

The Seventh Elder coughed up blood incessantly, her face paling to death, she stared at Ying Wuji with an expression of disbelief, murmuring, "Spirit Transformation Realm…"

Such a young Spirit Transformation Realm practitioner?!

Could it be that he is…

Ying Wuji?!

Ying Wuji's cultivation has already broken through to the mid‑stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

At that moment, a earth‑shaking dragon roar thundered across the heavens, as if to tear the sky apart.

Simultaneously, a heartrending scream came from nearby—it was the Tianyi Sect's Instructor Qu.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a massive black dragon standing on Instructor Qu, its blade‑sharp claws deeply embedded in his chest, crimson blood gushing out and staining the surrounding ground.

Meanwhile, Cang Li gripped his long spear and thrust at Instructor Qu, the spear tip piercing precisely into the opponent's palm.

"Ahhh…"

In an instant, Instructor Qu let out another bone‑chilling scream, terrifying to the core.

Cang Li scanned the crowd with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to insult our Master again will meet this fate!"

The Second Elder of the Heaven One Sect, gravely wounded from his fierce battle with Ying Wuji, saw this scene and his complexion darkened as if about to drip water.

Just as he was about to exert all his strength to give them a lesson, Hua Chengyan spoke up.

"Everyone, this is certainly not the time for internal strife! If we do not quickly break the sealing barrier, we may soon be besieged by snow beasts!"

Nie Bai also said at this moment, "We are all here for the treasure; now we should set aside our grievances and jointly break the sealing barrier as the top priority."

Bian Chen stepped forward a few paces and said softly, "Brother Yuan, Elder Wang, their words are not without reason."

Yuan Yao heard this, turned her head and met the gaze of her three senior brothers and the Youngest Senior Brother.

They nodded slightly.

The reason they did not finish off the Elder of the Heaven One Sect in full view of everyone is that it would cause trouble for the Carefree Sect.

In a sense, the major forces of the First Continent are highly united.

That is, they are xenophobic and will not allow forces from other continents or islands to desecrate the dignity of the First Continent.

Cang Li said, "We are naturally willing to break the sealing barrier together with you all."

He paused briefly.

"But …"

"The Heaven One Sect dared to insult our Master publicly, which truly pains us, so we only need you to apologize to our Master in front of everyone! If you do not apologize, we disciples will certainly not let this go peacefully!" he declared passionately, his face showing pain as he scolded.

Having said that, before they could act, Cang Li pointed a finger and asked, "And you, Lu Xiangxiang! Where did you come from?"

Lu Xiangxiang's expression lingered slightly.

"Weren't you detained in the heavenly prison by Immortal Master Fan Quan? How did you end up here?"

Cang Li let out a meaning‑laden "oh", "So you are a fugitive!"

Everyone, hearing this, looked at Lu Xiangxiang with varied expressions.

They already believed it about eighty or ninety percent.

At this moment, the system broadcast in Yuan Yao's Sea of Awareness sounded again.

All of them were news of target characters' Awakening Value increases.

Lu Xiangxiang was just about to argue, "I …"

"Apologize!" Cang Li abruptly cut her off, scanning everyone of the Heaven One Sect, "If you don't apologize, my junior brothers and sisters will not let you go!"

Yuan Yao: "…"

Ying Wuji: "…"

Yuan Yao added, "Our Master will not let you go either."

Hearing this, everyone of the Heaven One Sect felt great dread.

The young disciples all looked toward the Second Elder.

And the Second Elder's face turned iron‑blue; he seemed to be suppressing his fury, his heart extremely resentful, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Seventh Elder, District Mentor, why don't you apologize quickly?!"
