Chapter 580: Yuan Sect

Xiao Ming waved his sleeve and stored away the demonic bead that had gained a little bit more of strength.

At this moment, numerous figures suddenly appeared in the sky. These illusory figures all deeply bowed to Xiao Ming. The elderly man Hei An stood at the forefront of the group, wearing an expression of joy.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency. We have no means of repaying this huge favor of yours. All we can do is to express our sincere gratitude."

Hovering in the sky, the bodies of Hei An and the rest gradually began to dissipate. Suddenly, some mysterious spots of light were formed. Subsequently, those spots of light drifted towards Xiao Ming.

The sky was filled with slowly drifting specks of light, as though the entire place had turned slightly dreamy. The unique Reincarnation ripple pulsed, causing one's eyes to become rather dazed.

Xiao Ming extended his hand and gently touched those spots of light, his eyes revealing a

hint of surprise. Were these… Reincarnation essences?

These Reincarnation essences were left behind by the countless powerful ancestors of the Great Desolate Sect. Although they had died, all of them continued to guard their sect. Now that the culprit who had destroyed their sect had been killed, they were finally able to put down the unwavering persistence in their hearts. These wills began to disappear, leaving behind their comprehension towards Reincarnation.

Having said that, such things were of no use to Xiao Ming himself.

Of course, he wasn't going to waste it. He flipped his palm, and a bottle resembling a black hole appeared in his right hand. The brilliant specks of light in the sky continued to pour into the bottle, and in the end, all of them entered the bottle.

...

Yuan Gate was the leading faction in the East Xuan Region. They held sway over the region's martial world. They were known for their domineering behavior, yet they served as a formidable force against the Western Xuan Region. This made many factions in the East Xuan Region extremely wary of them.

Even the location of the mountain gate of the dominant Yuan Gate had always been unique among the various sects. Today, however, the atmosphere was tense. It was as if a storm was brewing. Not long ago, Yuan Gate had suffered heavy losses in the Great Sect Competition, with two of their Three Little Kings dead and one injured.

And now, the very person responsible for these events, the Elder Senior Sister of the Sky Hall of the Dao Sect, had come knocking on their door!

A hundred miles from Yuan Gate.

On the mountaintop, patrols were continuously scanning their surroundings with their sharp eyes. Occasionally, there would be some people scuttling around and checking on other places.

"What is that?"

Time passed by. Suddenly, someone let out an exclamation. The people around him immediately lifted their heads to take a look, only to see a bright light illuminating the distant sky. Within that surging light was a figure.

"Oh no. Send the signal"

The patrols' expressions changed drastically while horror surged into their eyes. Immediately, a sharp screech was emitted from their lips.

Swoosh!

A fiery red light shot out from their hands and burst into the sky, visible even from a hundred miles away.

As the signal flared up, the light on the horizon rapidly approached them. It was then that they finally identified the person within the light, and their expressions turned to horror.

It was none other than Wang Jie, the Elder Senior Sister of the Dao Sect's Sky Hall, a figure on their Yuan Sect's wanted list. She was viciously staring at them with an intense hatred in her eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Without any hesitation or wasted words, a relentless barrage of attacks whizzed down from the sky and instantly razed the entire mountain peak to the ground!

With the mountain peak flattened, the figure in the sky didn't pause for a moment and headed straight for the distant Yuan Sect's main gate. Many curious onlookers who had been attracted by the commotion followed suit.

Upon arriving at Yuan Gate, Wang Jie encountered resistance from numerous elite disciples and elders of Yuan Gate. Many of these disciples brandished their weapons and formed a formidable defense formation, exuding an extremely imposing aura.

However, the Elder Senior Sister showed no fear and shouted, "Yuan Sect, hand over the murderer who killed my parents, Li Lei! And release my younger brother, Wang Yan! Otherwise, either the fish dies or the net splits today!"

Many of the onlookers who had been secretly following her were surprised. They now understood why this Dao Sect genius had stormed into the Yuan Gate; it was because her family members had either been captured or killed!

Huh? This event seemed strangely familiar, didn't it?

"Wang Jie, do you have any evidence to prove that your family was harmed by my Yuan Gate? Attacking Yuan Gate without any proof is undermining the alliance between my Yuan Gate and Dao Sect." A man with a strange aura stepped out from Yuan Gate and calmly said.

"Li Lei!" Wang Jie's eyes blazed with barely concealed anger when she saw this man. He was the only surviving Little King among the Three Little Kings of this generation.

"You actually dare to come out and still claim it wasn't you. Prepare to die!" Wang Jie swung her sword horizontally and slashed directly at Li Lei's head.

"Hmph! Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Do you think you're the only one who has reached the Profound Life Stage? I'm not the same as before!" Li Lei sneered coldly.

Rumble!

The sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and a faint rumble of thunder could be heard. Then, Li Lei activated his martial arts. In an instant, an endless lightning glow appeared in his hand.

With a single step forward, the resplendent lightning glow fluctuated wildly, transforming into a lightning lion head on his fist that raised its head and roared at the skies.

The Thundering Lion Fist, one of the Martial Arts from the Three Great Divine Codes of the Yuan Gate, was unleashed.

Li Lei's fist rumbled forth, immediately causing a deep lion's roar and the sound of thunder to spread outwards from his fist. A lighting glow fluctuation that was visible to the naked eye swept forward, causing the ground to instantly crack into a web-like network of fissures.

The ferocious lightning lion was rapidly expanding and about to engulf Elder Senior Sister completely. However, the lightning was split in two with a flash of sword light!

"No... impossible, you've actually reached the Advanced Profound Life Stage..." Li Lei's eyes widened in disbelief as his words began to falter. As he uttered his last words, his body was also split in half, creating a gruesomely bloody scene.

"Audacious!"

At the moment of Li Lei's death, a surge of overwhelming aura burst forth like a storm from within Yuan Gate. Ten figures rushed out from a distance, and a roar filled with murderous intent thundered through the air.

"How dare you, ruthless and vicious witch! You brazenly intruded into my Yuan Gate for no reason and killed our disciples. There will be no escape for you today!"

Ten elderly figures with grim faces finally appeared in the sky. They all unleashed their auras to the fullest, revealing themselves as powerful Advanced Profound Life Stage practitioners. Their energy fluctuations caused the Yuan Power of the world to boil, and waves of oppressive Yuan Power emanated from them, enveloping the area.

"They deserved to die! Since I dared to come, do you really think I would be afraid of you?"

The Elder Senior Sister also unleashed her aura, confronting them head-on and surprisingly holding her ground without faltering!

The entire Yuan Gate fell eerily silent due to the standoff in the sky. Spectators from afar watched the fierce confrontation with fiery eyes. Such grand spectacles were truly rare.

"Attack!"

The leading elder's voice turned cold as he waved his sleeve. His command, filled with intense murderous intent and impatience, quickly spread across the sky.

Boom!

A vast and mighty Yuan Power erupted from their bodies in response to his command. Their figures immediately rushed towards Wang Jie on the other side.

Wang Jie narrowed her eyes, then stirred the multi-colored flames within her Dantian. Her aura instantly soared as she met their advance.

The surge of Yuan Power collided with each other in the sky. A terrifying fluctuation that could make one's scalp tingle quickly spread out with a sound that was like thunder rolling down from the sky.
