"Brother Yang, what kind of reception do you think the Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects will prepare for you?"
On the back of the Purple Gold Cloud Peng Beast, Lu Fangliang asked Yang Xiao with a smile.
He wasn't worried in the slightest about the Four Great Sects making a move on Yang Xiao.
Compared to Cheng Boxuan, he had a much deeper understanding of Yang Xiao's strength.
He knew that even if all the experts from the Four Great Sects attacked at once, they would be no match for Yang Xiao. As long as the two behemoths—the Profound Celestial Sect and the Pure Yang Sword Sect—didn't get involved...
...then there was nothing to worry about.
"I think the Profound Celestial Sect will make a move," Yang Xiao said suddenly.
"The Profound Celestial Sect?"
Lu Fangliang was taken aback.
He recalled what Yang Xiao had told him before: that the Young Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sect, Xuan Tianzhan, was an Immortal Cultivator, and that the entire Profound Celestial Sect might even be an Immortal Dao Sect.
A grim look instantly flashed across his eyes.
He felt a strong aversion, even hatred, toward Immortal Cultivators.
He wouldn't be satisfied until they were all dead.
His ancestors had died at the hands of Immortal Cultivators, and as a mber of the Lu Family with the Greater Yang Body, he had been trapped here all his life.
And it was all because of the Immortal Cultivators.
It could be said that Lu Fangliang shared a blood feud with the Immortal Cultivators; they were enemies who could not exist under the sa sky.
But by the sa token, if the Profound Celestial Sect truly was an Immortal Dao Sect, and if they made a move just as Yang Xiao predicted...
...the consequences would be dire.
Very dire indeed.
"I know what you're worried about, but do you really think the Profound Celestial Sect has any High Tier Immortal Cultivators?"
Yang Xiao gave a faint smile.
Compared to Lu Fangliang, he seed far more relaxed and at ease.
"Brother Yang, I don't think you should be so careless. Immortal Cultivators are different from us Martial Cultivators. Their cultivation thods are quite sinister. It's said that just by planting a Spirit Seed, they can gain abilities similar to Martial Arts Divine Techniques. What's more, after only a few years of practice, they can break through to the Innate Realm without any bottlenecks. Neither their power nor their speed of advancent is sothing we Martial Cultivators can match."
"If the Profound Celestial Sect really is an Immortal Dao Sect, then it must be filled with a terrifying number of Immortal Cultivators…"
Before he could finish, Lu Fangliang saw Yang Xiao's expression shift slightly.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Yang Xiao gently shake his head.
Then, he had the Purple Gold Cloud Peng Beast co to a halt and stared toward a certain spot ahead.
He called out, "Co on out. I've already found you."
"What? Soone's here?"
The mont the words were spoken, Lu Fangliang felt his skin crawl.
He knew his Spiritual Power wasn't weak; in fact, among his peers, it could be considered exceptionally strong. Yet, he hadn't detected a thing.
It was only after Yang Xiao spoke that he sensed a faint disturbance.
'There really is soone here!'
As the disturbance beca clear, Lu Fangliang's expression turned grave, and he stared nervously in that direction.
"Not bad. You have so skill. A pity you must still die by my hand today."
Now that Lu Fangliang had also detected him, the person hidden in the void finally erged.
He wore a grayish-white robe and had an aged face, looking utterly plain and ordinary. Like a common man, he seed to carry not the slightest hint of an expert's aura.
Using so unknown Secret Technique, he simply stepped out of the void.
It was a bizarre sight.
This alone proved he was undoubtedly an expert.
And a terrifying one at that.
"From the Profound Celestial Sect?"
Yang Xiao asked.
"Correct. I just never expected a junior like you would actually uncover the Profound Celestial Sect's greatest secret. No matter. I was going to kill you today anyway. Oh, and you," he said, turning. "Judging by your aura, if I'm not mistaken, you're from the Lu Family, correct?"
Although Yang Xiao had seen through and exposed him,
the gray-robed elder remained completely nonchalant.
He radiated an imnse confidence.
He believed he could dispose of the two before him with ease.
"An Immortal Cultivator, as expected,"
Yang Xiao snorted.
At the sa ti, Lu Fangliang recovered his composure and nodded.
They both had ways of detecting the Immortal Dao Aura on him, an aura that was quite distinct.
Once you knew what to look for, it was impossible to miss.
Moreover, the elder's words had confird a certain fact for them.
The Profound Celestial Sect.
They were truly the Immortal Cultivators hiding in the Celestial Cloud Region.
This discovery made Lu Fangliang bristle with fury.
He wanted nothing more than to kill the man before him right now, then charge into the Profound Celestial Sect and slaughter all of these Immortal Dao Demons.
"What? Do you two little brats actually think you're a match for ?"
Seeing the hatred in Lu Fangliang's eyes, the gray-robed elder simply gave a faint smile.
He seed completely unconcerned by the two of them.
Lu Fangliang's face twisted in disgust at the man's smug act.
"Brother Yang, I can't take it anymore. Leave this old bastard to ."
As he spoke, a purple spear appeared in Lu Fangliang's hand with a flick of his wrist. He swept it forward, attacking the gray-robed elder.
Although Yang Xiao was just as annoyed with the old bastard,
he held back since Lu Fangliang had already made a move.
He stood on the Purple Gold Cloud Peng Beast, crossed his arms, and watched with keen interest.
This caused the ever-smug, gray-robed elder's expression to darken. "Since you are so determined to court death, then I shall grant your wish."
With a cold snort, his aura erupted.
As it flared, Yang Xiao imdiately gauged his strength.
Tier Seven!
Martial Saint Seventh Rank.
And at the Peak of Tier Seven, no less.
'Of course,' Yang Xiao recalled, 'I've read books on the Immortal Dao. At this level, they don't call it Martial Saint or the True Intent Stage. They call it the True Tier.'
Mortal, Spirit, Profound, True.
The Mortal Tier corresponded to the three foundational stages: Martial Disciple and Martial Artist.
The Spirit Tier corresponded to the Grand Martial Artist, also known as the Innate Realm.
The Profound Tier corresponded to Martial Grandmaster, and the True Tier corresponded to Martial Saint.
'In other words,' he thought, 'this gray-robed elder is a True Tier Seventh Peak Immortal Cultivator. In a real fight, he's definitely much stronger than an ordinary Tier Seven Peak Martial Saint.'
'Because this guy is bound to have so strange Immortal Dao Mystic Skills or Secret Techniques.'
'Just like how he was hiding in the void earlier.'
'If I didn't have so understanding of the void, I probably wouldn't have noticed him at all. If we'd just flown into him, we'd likely have died a miserable death.'
'Looks like it'll be difficult for Brother Lu to win.'
'Unless he uses his Greater Yang Treasure Technique right from the start for a decisive kill, he's probably not this old bastard's match!'
Sure enough, things unfolded just as Yang Xiao predicted.
The mont the gray-robed elder attacked, the Primordial Power of the world surged toward him in a frenzy.
Instantly, a dazzling barrier of light ford around his body.
It looked very similar to Yang Xiao's own Vajra Indestructible Body when activated, only much weaker in power.
But even so, it managed to block Lu Fangliang's assault.
At the sa ti, the elder raised a hand and pointed.
Instantly, his gesture conjured seven Light Sabers.
The seven blades spun through the air.
They flew at Lu Fangliang like seven Spirit Swords, forcing him to dodge left and right, putting him in a difficult spot.
Seeing that Lu Fangliang was about to be overwheld, perhaps without even a chance to use his Treasure Skill, Yang Xiao could no longer stand by. He stepped forward and threw a punch.
"Brother Lu, this old bastard is tough! Let take over!"
As his voice fell, the physical strength of two hundred and forty Flood Dragons erupted from him completely.
The very void itself seed to tremble before this power.
