Tang Jingtian coldly snorted and raised the spear in his hand, his aura burst out silently but coldly as he looked at Na Wuyi and directed his spear towards him.
Ling Tian had always told them that they should keep a firm and strong heart, and not waver in their actions. Nor should they lower their heads and humiliate themselves.
If they were to worry about what other people said and thought, then they would not be able to make much progress in their cultivations.
Na Wuyi felt terror when he saw Tang Jingtian's action, not understanding why this guy who was younger than him could make him feel threatened.
"S-sect leader... help me!" Na Wuyi screamed in terror.
Tang Jingtian's expression flashed briefly, he tightened his grip on the spear and threw it towards Na Wuyi.
The leader of the sky sword sect frowned and hesitated for a moment, before making the decision and appearing in front of Na Wuyi. Right now the sect and its strength were taking flight still, so he couldn't afford to lose the members until he can reach the peak of the golden core and try to touch the threshold of the nascent soul realm, so he needed all the treasures he could find in this place.
If he let Na Wuyi die, the trust in the disciples would diminish and there would be trouble in the future. Moreover, the sect disciples might hesitate and would not easily hand over the treasures of heaven and earth that they managed to find if they saw that he let one of their fellow disciples die.
"Junior! I'm just giving you face for the forces behind you, but if you want to be arrogant don't blame me..."
The sky sword sect leader swung his sword towards the spear Tang Jingtian had thrown, exerting much of his aura. He took the opportunity to kill Tang Jingtian with a single strike right after he received his attack.
But before the spear touched his sword, the sky sword sect leader's expression changed as he felt a terrifying strength surpassing his own.
Although Tang Jingtian had not thrown his spear with his full strength, his nascent soul realm power was not something that a mere golden core realm cultivator could defend against, especially an ordinary one.
* Crack! *
The sky sword sect leader's sword shattered into pieces when it made contact with the spear, shattering his aura and piercing through the sky sword sect leader's chest before following up and piercing through Na Wuyi as well.
The sky sword sect leader's expression was filled with stupefaction as he didn't understand what had happened, his gaze on Tang Jingtian was filled with regret and eventually fell into darkness. Meanwhile, Na Wuyi kept that terrified expression filled with fear, watching the spear pierce through his chest and heart.
The two bodies stood for a few seconds before falling, completely dead!
Silence mixed with horror ruled the place. The disciples were in disbelief when they saw that their sect leader did not move on the ground, while the other two leaders of both sects were stunned to see that this man with a slightly superior strength to them had been easily killed on the spot.
Their gazes towards Tang Jingtian became filled with anguish and terror.
"I don't blame you, only you can blame yourself for your arrogance and lack of strength..."
Tang Jingtian let out a sigh and waved his hand causally. The spear that had been thrown and was stuck in Na Wuyi's body quickly returned to his hand.
After all this time, just like Mu Shen, Tang Jingtian had witnessed everything bad in the world and had strengthened his mind and hardened his heart, making his own decisions and acting according to his heart.
"Top expert in the golden core realm!"
The mystic martial sect leader whispered with some terror when he sensed Tang Jingtian's powerful aura.
Only a true golden core realm peak expert could easily kill a cultivator at the golden core realm late stage!
The sun shining sect leader didn't say anything, but his expression also showed some fear when he saw Tang Jingtian, knowing that this man who was so young was stronger than them, who had been cultivating for years and decades while Tang Jingtian looked like he was only twenty years old.
The disciples of the three sects looked at Tang Jingtian with horror and fear, watching how he had killed Na Wuyi, a golden core realm early stage cultivator, while the other was the sect leader of the sky sword sect, a true expert who had reached the golden core late stage!
Shang Moyu, Lao Lihong, Hu Xuo, Chang Yi, Mio Yidan and the rest of the group looked dumbfounded at Tang Jingtian, their minds slowly working before they could understand that Tang Jingtian was a great powerful golden core realm expert!
"Do you have a problem with me speaking the way I want?"
Tang Jingtian looked at both leaders of the two remaining sects, who maintained solemn expressions and quickly shook their heads at his words.
Tang Jingtian snorted and finally focused his gaze on the barrier in the background. His spirit sense expanded and covered the entire barrier, noticing the powerful force exuding from the barrier itself.
"High-level nascent soul formation..." Tang Jingtian frowned slightly.
The barrier protecting the entrance exuded great power, much stronger than his own strength. Even if he tried to make an attack with all his power, there wouldn't be much of a chance that he would be able to break it completely.
Even if everyone in the place gathered together and attacked the barrier at the same time, it still wouldn't be completely safe to open it.
"Good thing Brother Tian left us some jade plates containing information about the formations..." Tang Jingtian took out a jade plate that contained basic information about the area of formations, specifically the way on how to break through or pass through them.
* Rumble... *
However, immediately the place shook when the next moment the sound of a sword coming out of its sheath and slashing forward was heard, almost imperceptible, but perfectly clear in everyone's ears!
Everyone present looked up, as if something on the ceiling caught their attention.
Then, in full view of all, they saw a fleeting flash that completely crossed the ceiling, when the next second a smooth, thin crack appeared halfway across the entire ceiling, extending to all sides, as if the crack was expanding in a circle. The sunlight came in quickly, further illuminating the place.
It should be remembered that they were now all below the ground by several meters! The ruins of this place had been buried since ancient times, so they had no choice but to enter the caves and entrances discovered nearby.
A large sword that appeared to be about five meters long swiftly descended from the hole, carrying on its surface what appeared to be two figures.
Tang Jingtian frowned as he sensed a force vastly superior to his own, realizing that the aura exuded by this sword seemed to be even beyond the body condensation realm!
"Huh?"
But Tang Jingtian was stunned when his gaze finally clearly noticed these two figures that had appeared, standing on the sword.
"Husband, that's not him..." Yu Qing approached and she whispered somewhat incredulously. Za Niu and Leng Zilan approached Tang Jingtian as well, nodding at what Yu Qing said.
"Yes! It's brother Tian!" Tang Jingtian nodded with a smile.
The person who had appeared was Ling Tian!
However, what they didn't know was who the girl with him was.
Ling Tian controlled the flying sword, directing it towards the barrier in the background. His eyes glittered slightly.
Yang Jing was sitting on the flying sword as well, so she couldn't help but be surprised to see how many people were in the place. Her gaze on Ling Tian was also full of astonishment and shock, remembering how this man had casually cut the ground and they went down over 100 meters, resulting in one cut had made that whole hole.
Moreover, when they went to look elsewhere for some remaining treasures, Ling Tian had easily killed experts who tried to attack them at that time, experts who were stronger than his brother Xiao Chen and sister Ziu Momo.
Ling Tian observed the barrier in front of him, sensing the aura belonging to the pinnacle of the nascent soul realm.
However, Ling Tian simply waved his hand and the barrier instantly disappeared!
Ling Tian casually glanced at Tang Jingtian and immediately directed the flying sword inward, leaving the hundreds of members of the three sects in shock.
Tang Jingtian raised his eyebrows before frowning, "Brother Tian seems to be a bit in a bad mood..."
"What's wrong, husband?" Leng Zilan asked Tang Jingtian.
"Come on, he said for us not to leave." Tang Jingtian took Leng Zilan's small hand and walked towards the entrance where Ling Tian had passed.
Yu Qing and Za Niu smiled and followed Tang Jingtian and Leng Zilan.
"Let's go! You guys are coming too!"
Tang Jingtian looked at Shang Moyu and the others and nodded to them, urging them to follow him.
"Will it be okay?"
Shang Moyu hadn't recognized Ling Tian for fear of angering this expert if he used his spirit sense on him, so he asked full of confusion upon hearing Tang Jingtian.
"Or would you rather stay here with all of them?" Tang Jingtian pointed at the others before continuing to walk leisurely with his wives.
Shang Moyu looked at Lao Lihong and the others behind him before nodding to them and following Tang Jingtian.
"Come on, brothers and sisters, maybe we can find some treasure too." Shang Moyu said and quickly followed Tang Jingtian's lead.
Lao Lihong and the others looked at each other before following him as well, not wanting to stay in this place where everyone else was an enemy.
The martial mystic sect leader and the sun shining sect leader looked at each other for several seconds before clenching their fists and nodding.
"Let's go!"
"Let's move forward! Maybe we'll manage to find several hidden treasures!"
Both leaders looked at their sect members and quickly followed in the footsteps of Tang Jingtian, Shang Moyu and the others.
Although they clearly knew that Ling Tian was a powerful expert even stronger than Tang Jingtian, they still couldn't stand idly by and wanted to search for the treasures of heaven in this place. After all, a ruin of this magnitude could not be easily plundered by just a few, so they had to take the risk.
Quickly the disciples of both sects followed their leaders and passed through the entrance.
The disciples of the sky sword sect did not know what to do, with their gazes focusing on the few elders of their sect. Their sect leader, the strongest of the sect had been killed, and only the elders remained.
The elders of the sky sword sect looked at each other and had no choice but to follow the two sects.
Now they had no leader, and the sky sword sect would probably disappear without the leader and be absorbed by the two strongest sects in the region, just as they had done with the clouds on the horizon sect.
