Chapter 33: You Are Not Worthy of Knowing My Master’s Name

The imposing aura with which Sect Master Luo had spoken moments ago was now matched by his utter panic as he fled!

Many of the wandering cultivators who had heard Sect Master Luo's words had felt a deep respect rise in their hearts.

As a powerful figure in the Extinction Realm, Sect Master Luo had seemingly shown no fear of death, willing to self-detonate for the sake of avenging his sect disciples!

Such qualities surely justified his rise to power in the Extinction Realm!

Many people began to admire Sect Master Luo, thinking that although Luo Heaven Sect was about to be destroyed, with no survivors, the spirit of Luo Heaven Sect and the spirit of Sect Master Luo would live on!

But then, as Sect Master Luo fled in a panic, everyone froze, the words of admiration stuck in their throats.

"What the hell!"

"That shameless old man, pulling a stunt like this!"

The one most shocked by this was none other than Sect Master Yang Chun, who was also in the Extinction Realm!

At first, seeing Sect Master Luo, a fellow cultivator at the fifth layer of the Extinction Realm and the leader of one of the four major sects, intending to self-destruct for revenge, he had felt a sense of sorrow, almost as if he could relate to Luo Wu's plight.

But who would have thought this old man would turn around and run!

Damn it!

Once Sect Master Yang Chun snapped out of his shock, he too couldn't sit still and quickly fled in the opposite direction of Sect Master Luo.

After all, Leng Yanran's attention was focused on Sect Master Luo, leaving her no time to attack him. With a little more time, he was confident that, with his fifth-layer Extinction Realm cultivation, he could break through the barrier of the restriction array!

He had come to aid the Luo Heaven Sect simply because he had been paid well for it.

He never intended to put in much effort—he was just there to watch.

But who would have thought that the Luo Heaven Sect had provoked such a monster!

It would've been one thing if the enemy had only a Heavenly-grade defensive artifact, but to casually throw out thirty jade pendants capable of unleashing the full power of a ninth-layer Extinction Realm expert's strike?

Even if he called his entire Jin Ding Sect to join the fight, they would have all ended up as cannon fodder in that terrifying bombardment!

At this point, Sect Master Yang Chun had no intention of fighting Leng Yanran. All he wanted was to flee, return to his Jin Ding Sect, and hide, praying that Leng Yanran and the mysterious powerful figure behind her wouldn't set their sights on them!

Seeing Sect Master Luo flee in panic, Leng Yanran finally allowed a faint smile to creep onto her face.

She didn't hurry to give chase, instead descending slowly and beginning to meticulously examine the space between the thirty sky monuments.

"Master said to leave no survivors, I can't afford to be careless."

Leng Yanran mumbled her master's instructions as she carefully inspected the gaps between each of the monuments.

In the end, she found that no one had survived.

Whether it was juniors below the Profound Void Realm or even elders at the Unity Realm, all had been reduced to ashes under that bombardment.

There was even an elder in the Unity Realm who had somehow managed to avoid the direct strikes, only to have his internal organs shattered by the shockwave, dying a miserable death.

"You might as well have died directly under the sky monuments, why endure more pain?"

Leng Yanran commented offhandedly, showing no sympathy. With a casual wave, she sent out a burst of spiritual energy, turning the elder's body into a pile of dust, just in case he had used some secret technique to fake death.

She would not be careless with her master's orders, leaving no loose ends.

The cultivators observing the battle from a distance felt their temples throbbing at the sight, overwhelmed by terror.

This was a true demon!

She had casually wiped out the Luo Heaven Sect, one of the four major sects in the Northern Region, and yet she remained so calm, without a trace of emotion.

She didn't even bother to chase after Sect Master Luo. Was it because she thought she couldn't catch him, or because she had exhausted all her trump cards?

Only after a long while did Leng Yanran finish inspecting the sky monuments. Finally, she felt at ease.

She lifted her head and gazed in the direction Sect Master Luo had fled, then flew toward him at a calm, unhurried pace.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Luo's eyes were bloodshot as he continuously unleashed his divine techniques, attacking the barrier before him!

The transparent barrier looked fragile, but his powerful strikes couldn't even cause a ripple, let alone break through it!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"What on earth is this formation? Could it be a Heavenly-grade formation?!"

"No way! How could they have set up a Heavenly-grade restriction formation under my nose without me noticing?"

"And such formations are extremely difficult to arrange—there's no way it could have been done in just half a month!"

"Unless... this has been a conspiracy targeting my Luo Heaven Sect for decades?"

"Hiss..."

Sect Master Luo had expended more than half of his spiritual energy, yet there was no sign of breaking through the formation.

This restriction formation's barrier was far sturdier than even Luo Heaven Sect's protective array!

Despair began to well up in his heart. He couldn't stop wondering how the enemy had accomplished this, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find an answer.

Just then, a figure silently appeared behind him.

"Sect Master Luo, your sect is already annihilated. Well, not quite—there's still you left."

"Watching your sect be destroyed before your eyes must be a bitter experience, right?"

"But you have only yourself to blame. Originally, I was going to give you a swift death, but you dared to speak disrespectfully, slandering my master. You deserve punishment!"

Leng Yanran stood quietly, looking at Sect Master Luo. Her tone was cold and detached, as if she was talking about the weather.

Her presence, of course, signaled that Sect Master Luo's time had come.

"You... who is this master of yours that you speak of?"

"And this formation—when was it set up?"

"Could it be that you've been plotting against my Luo Heaven Sect for a long time?!"

Sect Master Luo's face was filled with panic. Realizing that escape was impossible, he stopped attacking and instead stared at Leng Yanran, questioning her.

"A long-term plot?"

"I'm afraid not. Everything that happened today was merely something my master did on a whim."

"As for my master's name, you are not worthy of knowing it."

"Alright, Sect Master Luo, it's time for you to go. Don't keep your disciples waiting too long on the road to the underworld."

Leng Yanran's expression remained indifferent, but she harbored deep disdain for Sect Master Luo. 

How dare he accuse her master of having ulterior motives in accepting her as a disciple?

Her master was so gentle and had been nothing but kind to her, asking for nothing in return. Yet this detestable Sect Master Luo dared to slander him!

Unforgivable!

Without hesitation, Leng Yanran flicked the jade pendant in her hand toward Sect Master Luo.

Sect Master Luo immediately became hyper-alert, his focus entirely on that jade pendant!

He already knew the terror concealed within that pendant's power.

While the sky monuments had indeed been fearsome, they were not Leng Yanran's own divine techniques, so they lacked flexibility.

If he could find the right moment, he might be able to dodge the strike!

Moreover, if he could redirect the strike toward the barrier behind him, it might just be enough to shatter it, granting him a chance to escape!
