“If you can’t hold it in later, just shout it out, okay?”
His words hung in the air, leaving everyone utterly bewildered.
Hold in what, exactly?
Dao Feng Old Ancestor suddenly remembered something, his old face flushing crimson. He originally wanted to explain, but thought better of it. What’s a little embarrassment when your life is on the line? Besides, the entire Grand Dao Sect was about to be humiliated anyway…
Soon.
Lu Xuan settled into a cross-legged position, his white robes billowing around him. With a flick of his wrist, his Spirit Art shifted, and his Heaven-Reaching Medical Dao Power descended like a gentle spring breeze, caressing the crowns of their heads. It was like an immortal’s touch. This gentle power surged into everyone’s bodies.
And just as it began, someone couldn’t hold it in.
“Uh-ah…”
“Ah…”
A soft moan, then another… Soon, the sounds of moans began to spread, a tide of hushed cries.
The Misty Peak Peak Master’s eyes lowered, her chest rising and falling with quick breaths, a fragrant sigh escaping her lips. It was almost unbearable. She murmured, “This feeling… it’s like, it’s like…”
Never before had she felt such profound comfort! Heaven-Man Resonance! Every meridian in her body trembled faintly.
She looked at Liu Xuan beside her. “Xuan’er, how are you faring?”
Liu Xuan was already emitting faint wisps of heat, her entire being like an ethereal fairy, radiating allure and temptation. Drops of fragrant sweat glistened on her fair, delicate neck.
“Master, I feel so strange.”
It wasn’t just Liu Xuan; all the female disciples of Misty Peak found it almost too much to bear. Their thin garments clung to their curvaceous figures, unable to conceal their alluring forms. Their delicate, misty bodies seemed on the verge of bursting forth, like captivating lotuses emerging from water.
Misty Peak drew the gazes of all the Grand Dao Sect members.
The crowd thought to themselves, “White Robe Supreme, forever divine!”
The entire Grand Dao Sect had become a peculiar sight. The scene was too beautiful to behold, yet no one dared to look away. The voices of Misty Peak’s fairies were utterly intoxicating. The sounds from Dao Feng Old Ancestor and the others, however, left everyone speechless.
Still, everyone noticed that the two forbidden powers within their bodies were steadily vanishing.
Dao Feng Old Ancestor’s old face burned crimson. Inwardly, he pleaded, “Please, let this end quickly!”
***
Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.
Within the dim, eerie Twisted Jungle, dense Eerie Power and Ominous Power drifted everywhere.
In the deepest hall of the Twisted Jungle, the Silent Destruction Old Man’s expression was chillingly cold. With a calculating, shrewd look, he was pondering matters of the Supreme Path.
Just then, a black-robed elder entered and reported, “Ancestor, You Quan Old Ancestor and the others are dead.”
Hearing this, the Silent Destruction Old Man showed no surprise. Instead, a faint smile played on his lips. Because You Quan Old Ancestor was a suicide operative! He had sent You Quan Old Ancestor out with no intention of them returning alive. Before leaving, You Quan Old Ancestor and his group had taken with them a massive amount of the Silent Destruction Sect’s Eerie Power and Ominous Power. This time, dealing with the Grand Dao Sect was a guaranteed victory!
Thinking of this, the Silent Destruction Old Man revealed a sinister smile. “The Grand Dao Sect must have already fallen into a dead sea of these two forbidden powers. Even if the White Robe Supreme rushes back, what good would it do? He would be powerless!”
The black-robed elder beside him asked, “What if the White Robe Supreme, in a fit of rage, steps into the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone?”
The Silent Destruction Old Man simply laughed. “That would be even better!”
***
Yao Family.
In a grand hall.
Yao Feng Old Ancestor suddenly awoke from his cave dwelling, several gray-robed elders standing beside him.
“Old Ancestor, you’re awake,” the elders whispered.
Yao Feng Old Ancestor touched his head, where a bloody welt had already formed. His expression grew increasingly grim. The memory of being forcibly pressed down by Lu Xuan to kowtow to Ye Chen was utterly indelible. Humiliation! It was utterly, shamelessly humiliating! And it had happened before the eyes of almost every powerful figure in the Southern Wilds! The Yao Family’s reputation had been dragged through the mud!
Yao Feng Old Ancestor’s face twisted into a ferocious snarl. He hissed, “White Robe Supreme, I want you dead! Dead!”
The gray-robed elders watched Yao Feng Old Ancestor, whispering, “Old Ancestor, the White Robe Supreme has already returned to the Grand Dao Sect. You Quan Old Ancestor of the Silent Destruction Sect has made his move!”
A sinister grin spread across Yao Feng Old Ancestor’s face. “Excellent.” Indeed, it was their Yao Family who had secretly contacted the Silent Destruction Old Man! That You Quan Old Ancestor was a suicide operative of the Silent Destruction Sect, after all! Purely sent to exact revenge on the Grand Dao Sect! Even if the White Robe Supreme could arrive in time to kill You Quan Old Ancestor and his group, the sheer volume of those two forbidden powers alone would be enough to annihilate the Grand Dao Sect!
Yao Feng Old Ancestor’s lips curled. “The Grand Dao Sect is finished!”
The gray-robed elders shivered, still shaken. “Old Ancestor, what if this matter is exposed? Our Yao Family would be in grave danger!”
Yao Feng Old Ancestor scoffed. “It won’t be. This time, the Silent Destruction Sect came prepared, bringing immense forbidden power. The White Robe Great Emperor will be drowned in it!”
The gray-robed elders asked, “Old Ancestor, the other factions are waiting for our Lineage Integration Ceremony. Should we proceed as planned?”
Yao Feng Old Ancestor declared, “Proceed as planned! Immediately, bring out Yao Liuli, the sinner of our Yao Family!”
“Understood!”
The gray-robed elders departed.
Meanwhile, in Sin Valley.
Yao Liuli, clad in a long gown, a faint smile on her face, recalled the brief time she spent with Ye Chen and Ye Changfeng, her heart warmed. “Everything is fine.”
Just then, several black-clad men entered Sin Valley, heading directly for Yao Liuli’s secluded cave. With brutal force, they bound Yao Liuli with thick black chains. Chains were fastened around her neck, wrists, and ankles! They were incredibly heavy! Inscribed with incredibly intricate and obscure Dao Patterns, these chains exerted a terrifying suppressive force on Yao Liuli.
The leading black-clad man scoffed. “Sinner Yao Liuli, your judgment ceremony is next!”
Yao Liuli’s expression grew much heavier. She knew that today, she was destined for public humiliation. She had already prepared herself mentally! But as long as she could reunite with Chen’er and Ye Changfeng, that was all that mattered!
Soon, Yao Liuli was led away by the black-clad men.
On the other side.
In the Yao Family’s massive plaza, numerous major factions from the Southern Wilds had gathered, awaiting the start of the Yao Family’s ceremony.
Elder Cang Li remarked, “Lineage integration is a complex affair. Someone always has to be made an example of.”
An Old Ancestor from the Wang Family said, “Indeed. It’s well-known that the Yao Family’s Saint Son’s Lineage and Saint Daughter’s Lineage are at odds. Today, I’ve heard, they intend to publicly curb the Saint Son’s Lineage’s arrogance. Once the Saint Son’s Lineage is suppressed, the other lineages won’t amount to anything.”
Elder Cang Li nodded, “Precisely!”
Not far away.
Ye Chen, Ji Fuyao, Ye Changfeng, Yao Yan, and others stood together. Ye Changfeng’s body trembled slightly.
Ye Chen whispered, “Father, there’s no need to worry. My Master has already punished Yao Feng Old Ancestor. The Saint Son’s Lineage wouldn’t dare disrespect my mother!”
Ji Fuyao, clad in a fiery red gown like a sea of spirit fire, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, murmured, “I hope the Yao Family doesn’t walk down a narrow path!”
Suddenly, “Boom!” The void tore open, and a terrifying, peerless pressure surged forth. Yao Feng Old Ancestor, clad in gray robes, stepped out from the spatial rift. He forced a smile and bowed to the crowd.
“Everyone, thank you for waiting! Next is our clan’s Lineage Integration Ceremony!”
Everyone’s faces showed anticipation.
Yao Feng Old Ancestor waved his sleeve and commanded, “Guards, bring out Yao Liuli, the sinner of our clan!”
