Chapter 768: Conflict

As many were speculating about the identity of the man before them.

The remaining three faction leaders exchanged a glance, and instantly felt the urge to retreat.

After all, their respective elder ancestors of the Ten Thousand Phenomena were not here.

If they rashly moved against him, they would surely die here, their bodies reduced to dust!

Seeing this,

It's best to leave now...

The three immediately understood this point.

Thus, the Black Rock Sect's leader bowed and said, "We humbly beg your discernment—we are not of the Joyful Union Sect, nor are we closely acquainted. Today we came only as invited guests."

"Now that you intend to settle your personal affairs with the Joyful Union Sect, we dare not remain. We beg your permission to depart first, and will not disturb you further..."

Seeing how the man had immediately slain the Joyful Union Sect's leader and his disciples upon arrival,

They naturally assumed he held some grievance against the Joyful Union Sect.

And the man's next words,

In their eyes, merely confirmed this belief.

"You may go..."

As his words faded,

The Black Rock Sect's leader instantly relaxed.

Afraid the man might change his mind.

He did not dare hesitate a moment, and immediately turned to leave.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Demon Tu Palace and the Master of the Blood Killing Gate also prepared to imitate him and speak their farewells.

Yet, to the utter shock of everyone present,

The moment the Black Rock Sect's leader lifted his right foot, an accident occurred.

"Oh? I told you to go—and you truly dare to leave..."

A cold voice drifted through the air, echoing across the entire scene.

Immediately after,

Shhh—

A brilliant golden spiritual light shot forth, piercing the Black Rock Sect's leader's body at blinding speed!

Only when the Black Rock Sect's leader collapsed to the ground

Did steaming blood gush forth like a spring, forming a horrifying pool of crimson.

In the perception of all present,

The Black Rock Sect's leader's life force had vanished completely.

Clearly, another Sun Wheel realm expert had been slain as easily as a chick in the hands of this mysterious powerhouse!

Faced with this terrifying sight, the remaining Lord of the Demon Tu Palace and Master of the Blood Killing Gate were chilled to the bone, frozen in place, unable to move!

The farewell words they had been about to speak were hastily swallowed back into their throats, not a single syllable dared to escape.

As they stood helplessly uncertain,

Jiang Han slowly turned his gaze toward the two and said casually, "Do you two also wish to leave?"

At these words,

The two immediately wore expressions of terror, trembling all over.

Especially upon recalling the Black Rock Sect's leader's gruesome end, their fear intensified.

Leave? Are you joking? We haven't lived long enough yet!!

The two's hearts turned bitter as they frantically waved their hands: "No no no, we're not going anywhere!"

"Yes! Wherever you tell us to go, we'll go—we won't move an inch without your command!"

Jiang Han's gaze grew distant as he smiled with quiet amusement: "That's good."

Seeing that the man no longer posed a threat, the two also exhaled in relief, then lifted their sleeves to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

At this moment, the Lord of the Demon Tu Palace thought that continuing to stay like this was untenable.

To understand the situation, he gathered his courage and asked, "We were blind to your greatness—may I ask who you are?"

"In the past, did we ever have any grievance with you?"

Jiang Han, upon hearing this, showed no interest in answering, and simply closed his eyes slowly.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Demon Tu Palace grew even more puzzled, assuming the man simply refused to answer.

Yet just then, an aged voice rang out from the crowd:

"Grievance? Today, all of you gathered here were precisely to discuss the annihilation of my Heaven Demon Sect, were you not?"

"In your view, how serious is this grievance?"

At these words, the revelation was earth-shattering, instantly triggering a wave of shocked murmurs and pale faces across the entire gathering!

Heaven Demon Sect?

Before we even moved, they had already sent someone here?!

At this moment, many suddenly realized:

Among them must be spies planted by the Heaven Demon Sect!

Otherwise, how could they know about today's gathering?

And how could they have come here specifically to wipe everyone out?!

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Demon Tu Palace and the Master of the Blood Killing Gate both turned deathly pale with terror.

They had never dreamed—

The very person they had been discussing moments ago was now standing right before them!

Since he was a man of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was no wonder he had slain the Sect Masters of the Hehuan Sect and the Black Rock Sect the moment he arrived.

After all, the several of them were sworn enemies, plain and simple.

Thinking of this, an incomparably intense fear welled up in the two men's hearts.

They feared they would follow in the footsteps of those earlier unlucky ones.

One must understand that as cultivators of the Sun Wheel realm, each of them still had several thousand years of lifespan remaining.

How could they be willing to fall and perish here midway?

In an instant, an intense will to live swept through both their minds.

Immediately after, they hurriedly looked toward the one who had spoken.

That was an old man with greying hair.

His appearance looked rather familiar.

The two men's pupils contracted, and in a flash they recalled the other's identity.

This person was none other than the former Third Guardian of the Earth Demon Sect.

That "Yang Qian" Yang Zhenjun, who possessed a cultivation base at the Myriad Phenomena realm!

Since this person was Yang Zhenjun.

Then the other one........
