Chapter 2: Qingyun Ancestor, Situation Reversed?

"Sect Master, don't bring it up; that's all in the past."

"Now under your leadership, Sect Master, I believe the Qingyun Sect will surely regain its former glory."

"No! Far surpassing the past."

"On the path of cultivation, the strong are respected; although this mysterious Sect Master emits only the aura of the Cave Void Realm."

"But the great terror he senses in his mind will not be wrong."

"Sect Master, I will now retreat."

"If there's anything, Sect Master, just command me anytime."

"Having said that, Li Qingyun's mind stirred."

"Soon after, he vanished without a trace."

"Only Feng Qingyang and this wreckage remained on the scene."

"Summon a Great Emperor Realm ancestor right at the start? Then be invincible?"

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want to think about it."

"With a Great Emperor Realm ancestor, won't my Qingyun Sect just take off directly?"

"On the Desolate Martial Continent, there are many forces; the prefectures are divided into five regions, each region having thirteen prefectures."

"Among them, the Central Region is the strongest, possessing the Imperial Clan and numerous transcendent holy lands and holy land overlords; the strong are as numerous as carp crossing the river."

"The strongest power in the Eastern Region where he is located is no more than the Five Great Holy Lands."

"One could say they act without restraint."

"Now all that remains is to rebuild the sect."

"Otherwise, spreading such an imperial sect's appearance would surely invite ridicule."

"Of course, they would need to have that courage to say so."

"Just as Feng Qingyang was about to use the sect construction card,"

【"Ding, as the future heavens' first divine sect, how can it have no disciples?"】

【"Issue a mission, recruit one disciple; upon completion, a reward will be obtained."】

【"Detected a disciple with decent talent and great perseverance; please, host, hurry to bring them into the sect."】

"Feng Qingyang's hand paused; 'A disciple has come? So powerful!'"

"Then we can only wait a bit before using the construction card."

"At the same time."

"Within the Qingyun Mountain Range, at the foot of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate."

"Five black-clad cultivators were fleeing at extreme speed."

"They occasionally looked back in fear."

"Not far behind, a blood-soaked youth, seemingly a madman, was closely pursuing them."

"His eyes were sharp, he gripped his sword tightly, and his mighty aura shook heaven and earth!"

"Damn! How is his vitality so tenacious!"

"His Supreme Saint Body has been stripped! He's pierced by a hundred and eight swords, yet still vigorous and lively!"

"Damn it! Just how many trump cards did the ancestor give him!"

"Save me!"

"The five black-clad individuals panicked and fled madly, shouting for help."

"Still want to escape!"

"Hmph!"

"Behind the black-clad individuals, the blood-soaked youth let out a cold snort!"

"The violent spiritual energy surged up to the heavens again!"

"In an instant, he rushed ahead of the five black-clad individuals, coldly staring at them."

"The youth's body, covered in countless sword-inflicted wounds, was continuously bleeding."

"Yet he paid no heed, as if this minor injury had no effect on him at all."

"Keep running? You're not that good at running, are you?"

"Those few black-clad individuals immediately stopped, trembling as they looked at the frenzied youth before them."

"Young master, spare my life!"

"We were just following orders; we deserve to die! We deserve to die!"

"The five black-clad individuals dared not delay, quickly kowtowing to admit their mistake."

"It's over...... completely over!"

"In these remote mountains and forests, probably no one will come to save them."

"Damn it! Why did they provoke this calamity-bringing star!"

"Too bad orders cannot be defied, and they also have no regret medicine."

【Shi Hao: Qi Refining Early Stage】

【Talent: Supreme Saint Body (stripped), innately supreme】

【A disciple of the Shi Family; the Shi Family is a top power in Desolate Prefecture, blessed by heaven with two supreme physiques: Supreme Saint Body and Chaos Pupil. A few days ago, his uncle and cousin tricked him and stripped away his Saint Body.】

"Not bad, not bad; the first disciple is innately supreme, although the Supreme Saint Body was stripped, it can still be repaired, right?"

"With a little training, it'll be the Eastern Depot—oh, no, the prestige of the Qingyun Sect."

"But, what is this situation?"

"Your Saint Body was stripped, yet instead of being hunted, you're the one doing the hunting?"

In the distance, Feng Qingyang looked bewildered at this scene, wondering if he didn't need to make a move after all?

"This routine is wrong!" he said, puzzled.

On the other side.

The blood-stained demon-sealing youth glanced coldly at the black-clad men a few times, then silently said, "Remember to open your eyes in your next life."

"Even if I'm crippled, you few ants can't provoke me!"

"Die!"

He then strode forward and charged ahead.

Majestic spiritual energy burst forth.

Crisscrossing fist intent surged toward the five black-clad men.

"Damn it! Fight to the death!"

Seeing no way to dodge, the five black-clad men immediately shouted angrily, gritted their teeth, and rushed forward!

Boom!

A resounding boom echoed as the majestic spiritual energies collided.

Pfft!

The five black-clad men immediately spat blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground.

They were completely outmatched!

It's over; it seems they and their companions will surely die today!

It would be great if a strong savior came to rescue them, but this is ultimately just a fantasy before their death.

The blood-soaked youth merely stepped back one pace.

Just as he was about to continue forward to finish him off, his aura visibly waned at a noticeable speed.

"Hmm! Not good!"

"My last trump card is exhausted!"

Instantly, he was greatly startled.

Cough cough!

A wave of intense pain struck him; he spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately collapsed, his breath fading.

Seeing this, the five black-clad men lying not far away brightened, helping each other up.

Heavens! He finally can't hold on—I'm literally crying to death!

"Tsk tsk tsk! Shi Hao, young master of peerless genius, keep being arrogant!"

"This is what they call the turning of fortunes! Hahaha!"

"I don't know what it feels like to kill a genius, but today you have the honor of being the first genius to die under my blade, Old Ghost Lin."

A black-clad man stepped forward, said that, then pretentiously licked his blade with his tongue.

"Wait, I forgot to tell you something, young master Shi Hao."

"After obtaining your Supreme Holy Body, the young master has gone to the Transcendent Holy Land in the Central State, where he is said to be fully nurtured, ennobled as a Holy Son, and likely to become the next Holy Lord."

"Hahaha, how about it, young master Shi Hao? You can die in peace now."

"This Old Ghost Lin kills and still wants to exterminate the heart, hahaha!"

All five black-clad men burst into loud laughter.

"You're all laughing so happily; if you have any joyous news, feel free to tell our sect."

Just then, a figure descended from the sky.

It was Feng Qingyang, who had rushed over.

He wore a white robe, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

He had just thought he was mistaken, but it turned out someone had been waiting for him behind.

"Uh-oh, something changed! Old Ghost Lin, act quickly!"

Only now do they realize they should act, but it's already too late—villains usually die from talking too much.

The black-clad Old Ghost Lin hastily brandished his blade and rushed forward.

Bang!

Feng Qingyang casually slapped Old Ghost Lin away with a palm, saving Shi Hao, who was awaiting death with neck outstretched.

Then he turned his head to look at the black-clad youth on the ground and calmly said, "Young man, your physique is extraordinary; you have fate with my sect. Would you like to join? I will guarantee your safety."

Hearing this, the blood-soaked Shi Hao lifted his head to look.

He saw a white-clad youth standing beside him with hands behind his back, exuding a mysterious aura from head to toe.

In his desperate eyes, a spark of hope for life reappeared.

"Senior, I am willing to join your sect, but I am now a cripple..."

"It doesn't matter; our sect declares you a genius, so you are. Even if you're trash, my Azure Cloud can cultivate you into a genius."

Meanwhile, Old Ghost Lin, who had been blown away, also rose to his feet, shocked.

"Peak of the Cave Void Realm!"

Among the five of them, only three are at the early stage of the Cave Void Realm, while the other two are at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Damn it! Why didn't you show up when we were just being hunted? Now you appear!

"Peak Cave Void Realm! This is a tough opponent!"

But when you come out to mix, you need to have a background.

"We are the Shi family of the Wasteland State; this is our family matter. If you protect this brat, can you bear the wrath of my Shi family?"

The leading black-clad man said fiercely, his words brimming with threat.

A peak Void Refining cultivator is still not worthy of being looked at.

「I, Qingyun Sect, have experts as numerous as clouds; not to mention your tiny Shi family, even a person from a Holy Land would have to bow their head before my Qingyun Sect—what does your Shi family amount to, a mere scallion? 」

Feng Qingyang said solemnly.

With his spotless white robes and his disdainful attitude toward the Holy Land, he actually bore the aura of an unparalleled expert.

But he wasn't completely lying either—although the entire Qingyun Sect currently only has the two of them, does it have a Great Emperor Realm ancestor? Which Holy Land wouldn't be dazed upon seeing one?

Shi Hao felt a surge of joy; just moments ago he had been worried about implicating this senior's sect, but now it seemed his suffering had finally paid off.

「The sect I am about to join doesn't even regard the Holy Land as worth noticing. 」

「Hmph! Even if you become a Holy Son, my good brother, you still have to wait for me! 」
