Chapter 68: Sect Master, Save Me

The hunchbacked old man stared at the pagoda fragments slowly flowing out of Li Zhangsheng's massive hand!

The fragments fell like sand, pouring down!

A gentle breeze brushed by, and the sand‑like fragments blew onto the hunchbacked old man's face!

Silence!

Dead silence!

Everyone around, whether from Return Ruins Hall or from this side of All Heavens and Myriad Realms, held their breath and stared at the giant hand in the sky!

All hearts and minds were shaken!

Heaven!

What kind of divine technique is this?!

The hunchbacked old man's gaze had already become dazed!

He stared blankly at the pagoda fragments falling onto his body, his face full of disbelief!

"How could this be possible?!"

He muttered softly.

Undoubtedly, the hunchbacked old man's inner world was collapsing; his mental defenses had been shattered!

One must know that the earth‑yellow Pagoda was a semi‑immortal artifact, yet it was crushed into fragments by a single hand as if it were paper!!

What kind of being is this person?!

Could he be a semi‑immortal powerhouse?

The hunchbacked old man dared not move; his terrified gaze turned to Li Zhangsheng, full of weakness and helplessness!

Li Zhangsheng gave a slight smile, seeming unwilling to continue toying, opened his hand and poured out all the fragments inside.

He waved his hand, restoring his palm to its original shape, then placed both hands behind his back.

On the other side, Mo Jingyuan's heart pounded like thunder at this moment.

His gaze was exceedingly solemn as he looked at Li Zhangsheng.

How could such a terrifying figure suddenly appear?

Mo Jingyuan wanted to flee!

But he instantly realized… before such a being, any attempt to escape would be futile!

Since escape is impossible, then… he could only beg for mercy!

"We do not know where we have offended you, senior; please enlighten us,"

"I, the junior, apologize here; I hope you, esteemed senior, will not hold this against us and spare our lives!!"

Immediately, Mo Jingyuan hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands in the air toward Li Zhangsheng, apologizing, cold sweat streaming down his face, his posture supremely humble.

He was a completely different person from the flamboyant one before!

In fact, Mo Jingyuan was also quite puzzled!

He had never seen Li Zhangsheng, so he did not understand why this white‑clad youth would immediately strike them down!

Could it be… that among those we captured, there is someone of his?

Thinking of this, Mo Jingyuan felt utterly dismal, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

If this were true, the situation would be extremely dire!

Li Zhangsheng looked at Mo Jingyuan, a mischievous smile on his face, and said:

"Your words are quite funny,"

"The law of the strong preying on the weak is the very rule of the cultivation world."

"A swarm of ants—do I need any reason to kill you?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Zhangsheng laughed wildly, looking arrogant.

He directly returned everything they had said to the people of All Heavens and Myriad Realms!

Boom!

Just as Li Zhangsheng spoke, a member of the Emperor Realm from Return Ruins Hall tried to seize the chance to flee, but with a single lift of Li Zhangsheng's hand, that Emperor Realm instantly turned into blood mist!

Li Zhangsheng's move made everyone from Return Ruins Hall feel as if they were sitting on a bed of needles.

They could neither move nor run!

They didn't know what to do!

Before such a powerhouse, any means of escape are useless!!

Mo Jingyuan was also left speechless by Li Zhangsheng's words!

He didn't know what to say either!

Indeed, the cultivation world follows the law of the strong preying on the weak; the weak must be beaten, which is the ideology they just instilled in the people of All Heavens and Myriad Realms...

"Sect Master!"

At this moment, Luo Qingxue had already broken free of the restriction and came to Li Zhangsheng's side.

She performed a bow to Li Zhangsheng, then produced the Nine Heavens Mysterious Ginseng she had obtained inside Stone Mountain, handing it to him: "Sect Master, this is an immortal herb I found within Stone Mountain; it can help cultivators refine immortal Qi, I wonder if it will be of use to you."

Li Zhangsheng looked at Luo Qingxue and smiled appreciatively.

The girl is rather filial!

"It is of no use to me; you may keep it yourself," Li Zhangsheng said softly.

On the other side, Mo Jingyuan, who saw Luo Qingxue talking with Li Zhangsheng, was instantly struck with a jolt of terror, his expression wildly changing!

It turned out that all the talismans on that woman were crafted by this terrifying being!!

Damn, I told you why this white‑clad youth kills us the moment he appears.

It turns out he was the talisman maker who crafted talismans for that woman.

"I'm really stupid… really!"

Mo Jingyuan felt deep regret at this moment.

It turns out this important figure was summoned by me.

He immediately gritted his teeth and took out a token.

This is Mo Jingyuan's teleportation token, which can let him instantly teleport away from this place, with a range of up to tens of millions of li.

Hopefully this teleportation token can escape the pursuit of the white‑clad youth.

Mo Jingyuan thought this.

However, just as he took out the token, Li Zhangsheng uttered a single 'Freeze' character, and Mo Jingyuan was unable to move!

After realizing his whole body couldn't move, Mo Jingyuan's expression changed again.

Whoosh!

Li Zhangsheng flickered to his front, wearing a teasing look, smiled and said: "Didn't you say you wanted me to work for you? Why the rush to leave?"

"Senior, spare my life, I… I…"

Mo Jingyuan stammered, unable to speak.

He never expected that the words he had said to Luo Qingxue earlier would all be known by this white‑clad youth!

Has this person been watching the surroundings all along, guarding the Dao for that woman?

"Ah, boring!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head, losing interest and the desire to play, and with a casual wave, Mo Jingyuan turned into a blood mist before him!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom……

As Mo Jingyuan died, Li Zhangsheng casually raised his hand and slaughtered everyone from the Return to the Void Hall in this area!

More than twenty Emperor Realm experts were killed in the instant he raised his hand.

"Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"

……

With the deaths of everyone from the Return to the Void Hall, the myriad worlds' people who were about to be sacrificed regained bodily freedom, rushing over to Li Zhangsheng in gratitude.

"Is this senior from the myriad worlds?"

An Emperor Realm expert secretly wondered, when did the myriad worlds gain such a terrifying existence, and why had no one heard of it before?

Li Zhangsheng lightly nodded at them, letting them go about their business; saving them was merely a trivial matter.

After everyone had dispersed, Li Zhangsheng looked at Luo Qingxue: "Find a place to break through to the Emperor Realm; after breaking through, continue your training!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" Luo Qingxue bowed to Li Zhangsheng and then left as well!

Li Zhangsheng leisurely took a sip of wine, then glanced toward a direction and chuckled: "Life is still tenacious, a clone?"

Saying this, Li Zhangsheng extended a finger and pointed toward that direction!

……

A desolate stone mountain, its surface bald, with no vegetation at all!

The interior of the stone mountain had been hollowed out, turned into a cave abode suitable for cultivation!!

Layers of terrifying killing formations and restrictions were set up around the stone mountain!

Anyone who dares to approach this stone mountain will be mercilessly slaughtered by the killing formations.

Inside the cave abode, a young man sat cross‑eyed, eyes closed, nurturing his spirit.

Before him lay several stalks of immortal grass, one stalk swirling before him as he refined it…

This young man was none other than Mo Jingyuan!

What Li Zhangsheng killed earlier was merely his external incarnation!!

His external incarnation gathers resources outside, while his true body sits here refining immortal grass to increase cultivation efficiency, hoping to produce immortal qi as soon as possible!

Just then, Mo Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes:

"My external incarnation died?!"

"Damn it, what background does that white‑clad youth have, his strength is actually so terrifying!"

"Even the Third and Fourth Elders, who wield half‑immortal artifacts, aren't a match for him!"

Mo Jingyuan took a deep breath.

When he crafted his external incarnation, it was precisely to let it play the role of an adventurer!

He also knew that his external incarnation, constantly adventuring outside, would eventually fall into someone else's hands.

Therefore, he had long since severed the karmic ties with his external incarnation.

Thus, even if his external incarnation was slain, his true body suffered little harm!

Only his soul suffered a slight injury.

"I'll first refine these gathered immortal grasses before me." Mo Jingyuan thought to himself: "Once I cultivate a strand of immortal qi, I'll meet up with my father and the others!"

Thinking this, Mo Jingyuan closed his eyes and continued refining the immortal grass before him!

Hum!

At that moment, a huge opening suddenly appeared in the sky above the stone mountain where Mo Jingyuan was!

A thick finger, like a pillar holding up the heavens, stretched down from the opening, its fingerprints clear!

Compared to that finger, the stone mountain was as fine as a hair!

It ruthlessly crushed down onto the stone mountain where Mo Jingyuan was!

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

He sensed a huge finger falling toward himself, and Mo Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes, his expression changing wildly!

He hurriedly got up, ignoring the immortal herbs placed ahead, and rushed outward at extreme speed……

However, the descending finger was simply too fast and covered too wide an area—how could Mo Jingyuan possibly escape?

「No! 」

「No! 」

Mo Jingyuan watched as the finger instantly pressed down onto his head, his face filled with a despairing scream!!

Boom!

The finger came down, dust spread everywhere, the stone mountain was crushed into fragments, and Mo Jingyuan was ground into dregs, both body and spirit destroyed!

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng, who had casually crushed Mo Jingyuan to death, returned to that mountain peak as before, continuing to lie there eating and drinking!

Just then, Li Zhangsheng's divine sense heard someone urgently shouting: 「Sect Master save me, Sect Master save me!! 」

Li Zhangsheng looked in a direction, extended his palm, a huge palm traversed the void, and pressed down……
