Chapter 34: A Mere Supreme Saint, Daring to Run Wild in My Qingyun Sect!

Above the Qingyun Sect, the Heavenly Punishment was still wantonly displaying its momentum, brewing karmic fruit.

The scorching atmosphere in the air made everyone fear for themselves; most people did not hesitate to activate their protective Spirit Treasures, terrified of being caught in the wake of the Heavenly Punishment.

They only regretted that they hadn't left sooner, unlike those who were still inside the Secret Realm and could escape this disaster.

Amidst all this complexity, only Lu Ren, holding a spirit talisman given by the system, was speechless for a moment.

But there was no time to overthink; the Heavenly Punishment in the air was becoming increasingly restless. Once it fell, it would likely be irreversible. Lu Ren made a prompt decision, held the spirit talisman between two fingers, tore it with his Qi in mid-air, and pointed it directly at the Tribulation Cloud above.

This was a sword talisman.

The moment the talisman paper ruptured, the sword Qi within the sword talisman slashed out with lightning speed, unstoppable, overturning the heavens and seas, slashing fiercely toward the brewing Tribulation Cloud!

Within the range of the naked eye, everyone could only see the crystalline sword Qi shooting straight into the clouds, the resulting waves of shock overturning those who were unprepared and causing the face of the powerhouse sent by the Qingyun Sect to change.

"No... impossible... what grade of spirit talisman is this?" He stared with wide, shocked eyes.

In his eyes, that streak of sword Qi instantly disrupted the pitch-black Tribulation Cloud in the sky, piercing a hole through it. Fragmented sword Qi spread like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, the Tribulation Cloud in the sky was actually scattered! Most terrifyingly, the residual fragmented sword intent reverberated in the air, stinging people's skin.

Mei Pinghan, one of the Qingyun Sect's powerhouses, endured the stinging pain and tried to sense the sword intent, but felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness and couldn't make heads or tails of it.

This made him even more certain that this sword talisman... was definitely crafted by a great power higher than a Supreme Saint! No! Perhaps, perhaps even higher than a God Venerable...

This speculation made his hair stand on end, and the look he gave Lu Ren held a hint of deliberation.

He had originally thought this Lu Family Head came from humble beginnings... who would have thought he had such a high-level expert behind him? The Tribulation Cloud in the sky dissipated reluctantly, flashing a few bolts of lightning at the very end.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Dao definitely held a grudge against Lu Ren.

It was just puzzling why the Heavenly Punishment had appeared so suddenly! They didn't have the guts to ask Lu Ren directly, so they could only scratch their heads and guess wildly in their hearts, unable to find the answer.

When the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, the hot tears in Feng Wuyou's eyes finally fell, only to evaporate the next second.

She wiped away the tears and traces of them without a trace, her gaze toward Lu Ren intimate and reverent.

After so many years, Second Brother is still Second Brother...

Feng Wuyou sighed in her heart, almost certain that the Heavenly Tribulation had been brought on because she killed Mo Tianming. The specific reason was unknown, but it did not hinder her immense gratitude toward Lu Ren, nor her hatred for the guy who killed Second Brother in her dream-tracing! This time, she would never allow anyone to hurt Second Brother! As Feng Wuyou swore in her heart, the people who had hidden due to the sudden Heavenly Tribulation gathered back.

Mei Pinghan also arrived in front of Lu Ren; he hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask what exactly was going on.

After all, this was his Qingyun Sect's territory.

But before he could speak, a disheveled figure flew out from the entrance of the Secret Realm. Upon seeing him, the figure acted as if they had seen a relative, flying straight toward him and shouting excitedly.

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!!"

The person who arrived was none other than Mei Yulong. He didn't even care about his composure, shouting urgently, "Something happened, Ancestor, Ming Cheng he..."

He interrupted Mei Pinghan's words, but he couldn't finish his own either.

A monstrous momentum suddenly rose from the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect, sweeping across the entire Qingyun Sect. Even the entrance to the Secret Realm was affected; those who were slightly weaker all turned pale and spat out blood.

Mei Yulong, whose injuries were already unstable, was crushed unconscious by the pressure.

A roar of grief and indignation reached everyone's ears.

"Who is it!"

"Who killed my bloodline!"

The middle-aged man who broke through his seclusion had a ferocious expression. His temples were streaked with white, his eyes were reddened with rage, and he instantly spread his divine sense across the entire Qingyun Sect! Everyone felt themselves being scanned and were completely unable to resist.

The next moment, that sole Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect appeared before everyone, his eyeballs rolling with bloodshot veins; he was already in a state of extreme rage!

He grabbed the unconscious Mei Yulong, slapped him twice to forcibly wake him, and growled: "Did you just say Ming Cheng!" "What happened to Ming Cheng!"

"Speak!!"

Poor Mei Yulong was almost deafened by the roar.

Blood flowed from his ears, yet he stubbornly raised a finger, pointing in the direction of Lu Ren, his spirit unyielding despite his broken body.

"It... it's Lu Ren! He killed Ming Cheng! It was him!"

"His Qiongqi ate Ming Cheng! It was Lu Ren!"

Mei Yulong's two sentences drew all eyes toward Lu Ren.

Ming Zhen threw Mei Yulong aside without hesitation, his eyes fierce, intending to grab Lu Ren! His five fingers turned into claws; he possessed the strength of the Emperor Realm, and almost no one present could resist. Only the old man sitting at the entrance of the Secret Realm slightly raised his hand, but then slowly lowered it and closed his eyes again, ignoring what was happening here.

Seeing the situation was bad, Feng Wuyou cursed inwardly and immediately blocked Lu Ren, shouting coldly: "Senior Ming! I advise you to calm down. Do you want to become an enemy of my Great Yu?"

"If you dare to touch my sworn brother, I will exhaust the Qi Luck of the dynasty to kill you!"

Even if it meant the collapse of Great Yu, it might not necessarily kill Ming Zhen.

Feng Wuyou knew this very well.

However, she was certain that Ming Zhen dared not gamble! Ming Zhen was on the verge of Ascension and was the ancestor with the most hope of ascending in the Qingyun Sect.

If he were to be burdened by the Qi Luck of a dynasty at this juncture, he would basically have no hope of Ascension.

Ming Zhen was indeed hesitant for a moment, just as Feng Wuyou had thought.

He was indeed afraid of trouble.

Not to mention that Ming Cheng wasn't actually dead; Ming Zhen had only felt that his only bloodline was trapped, dying, and his life tablet had cracked, making him anxious.

The reason he made such a big scene was also partly intentional.

But he only hesitated for an instant before his fierce expression returned, and he poured all his pressure toward Lu Ren!

Ming Zhen roared: "Brat, you are merely a Supreme Saint, yet you dare to run wild in my Qingyun Sect. Have your Qiongqi spit out Ming Cheng, and I will spare your life!"

"Otherwise, you will suffer the thunderous wrath of this old man!"

Ming Zhen had expected Lu Ren to be terrified and hand over the person, and he waited with composure.

Yet, he didn't expect that Lu Ren could still move under his pressure! Not only could he move, but the smile on his lips became even more pronounced! The Qiongqi, which had been disguised when leaving the Secret Realm and had shrunk its form when the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, now grew inch by inch behind Lu Ren, completely returning to its true form. Its mane danced wildly, and its mouth, which could almost swallow the entire back mountain of the Qingyun Sect, split open, revealing sharp fangs and grinning ferociously.

"Old thing, who are you saying you will spare the master of?"

"Your bloodline is right in my belly; do you dare to come and take it?"

"Roar!"

At this moment, the sent-flying Mei Yulong finally slowly regained consciousness.

As if he had suddenly remembered something, he shrieked violently: "Lu Ren! Lu Ren's Qiongqi has entered its adult stage!!!"

Ming Zhen wished he could strangle him to death.

Such important news, and he only says it now!? A Qiongqi that has entered its adult stage and fully commands space, together with Lu Ren who has grasped the Time Law—especially since Lu Ren is already a Supreme Saint and has gained a new layer of understanding regarding the Time Law.

What could he use to threaten Lu Ren?

With his life!?
