Chapter 1458

The figure of the Xuehe Old Ancestor was retreating.

At this moment, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

He had never expected—

That Ximen Wudi would be so formidable.

Moreover, what irritated him even more was—

At this moment, he was actually being threatened by the great Han, and did not dare to leave.

After all, if he were to leave—

The entire Xuehesheng Sect would surely be destroyed.

Therefore, he could only choose to hold on stubbornly.

However, Ximen Wudi gave him no chance to catch his breath.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Endless crossbow bolts tore through the air.

Each one carried a destructive force.

Putting the Xuehe Old Ancestor in an utterly wretched state.

He could only rely on his movement techniques to dodge.

But, after all, he was already injured.

After a moment, the wounds on his body grew increasingly severe.

Finally, after dodging several rounds of shooting—

A look of terror appeared on the Xuehe Old Ancestor's face.

He shouted toward the elders below.

"Protect me, quickly protect me!"

He knew he could not hold on much longer.

And upon hearing the shout—

The remaining elders also struck one after another.

Preparing to resist the great army's assault.

However, in Ximen Wudi's eyes, these men's cultivation was nothing worth mentioning.

He threw a punch.

Blazing light burst forth.

Wherever it passed, a figure was directly blasted apart on the spot.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out.

At this moment, the Xuehe Old Ancestor was utterly in despair.

He understood that he had encountered a formidable enemy.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

"Your Majesty, this general is willing to surrender—I only beg you to spare my life!"

The Xuehe Old Ancestor shouted aloud.

At this moment, a pleading look appeared in his eyes.

However, Ximen Wudi showed not the slightest hesitation.

"Boom!"

Another punch came down.

On the Xuehe Old Ancestor's forehead, veins bulged.

Then, his body shattered inch by inch.

This was the result of being killed in a single strike.

The Xuehe Old Ancestor had been slain.

"Haha, satisfying, truly satisfying!"

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile.

At this moment, he appeared immensely excited.

As the Vice Cult Leader of the Xuehaijiao Sect—

Cao Zhengchun had long forgotten the sorrow he once shared with his own father.

Now that he could take revenge, he was naturally overjoyed.

As for the others around, their eyes were filled with fear.

This Han Emperor was truly far too ruthless—he had even slain the Vice Sect Leader of the Xuehesheng Sect.

However, this did not hinder the people's desire to pledge allegiance.

This time, after the Xuehe Old Ancestor's fall—

Within the Xuehaijiao Sect—

Apart from a few individuals, all the rest submitted.

The Xuehe Old Ancestor's clan, although possessing some power, was still far from sufficient within the Xuehaijiao Sect.

Beside the Xuehe Old Ancestor, there were also several elders assisting him.

The Xuehe Old Ancestor's faction had already been wiped out, so they could only attach themselves to Ximen Wudi.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the headquarters of the Xuehe Sect had become utterly chaotic at this moment.

After the Blood River Old Ancestor fell.

Across the entire continent, every major power felt the shock.

"Did you hear? The Old Ancestor of the Xuehe Sect is dead!"

A voice rang out, causing the surrounding crowd to involuntarily gasp.

Everyone knew that this Blood River Old Ancestor was a figure of an overlord.

No one had expected that he would actually die.

But then, another piece of news spread.

"The Sect Master of the Xuehe Sect was actually also slain by the Han Emperor. This Han Emperor will likely reach the Xuehe Sect within days!"

As these words fell.

The people of every major power no longer paid attention to the Xuehe Sect—after all, it was a hot potato, and offending the Great Han meant the best outcome was still utter annihilation.

But what they did not know was.

The Xuehe Sect had already been completely annihilated.

At this moment, in a small town ten thousand li away from the Xuehe Sect.

An old man said slowly.

"The Blood River Old Ancestor has been slain, the Blood River Sect is leaderless.

We can seize this chance to go snatch the treasures!"

"Exactly. Now the Great Han's strength grows ever more overbearing. The Xuehe Sect's destruction—this is the best chance!"

"Let's go!"

A burst of discussion rose, and then they set off toward the Xuehe Sect.

The Blood River Old Ancestor had always been their enemy.

And just as these people were heading toward the Xuehe Sect.

They had absolutely no idea.

Deep within the Xuehe Sect.

The Blood River Old Ancestor knelt prostrate on the ground.

He said reverently.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

His face bore an expression of devout piety.
