Chapter 192 The Ancestor Emerges from Seclusion

Seeing these brats about to flee, Li Mingbai immediately wouldn't stand for it!

What was this?

Weren't they all acting mighty and powerful just moments ago?

Showed off their power and now they wanted to run?

Was there such a cheap thing in the world!

Witness my invincible staff technique!

Li Mingbai waved his hand.

The divine wood in his hand suddenly extended, chasing after one of the elders.

Hearing the increasingly close whistling sound from behind, the elder nearly peed himself!

What was even more fatal was that an even more intense, nauseating stench was coming again!

Gag—!

The other elders secretly rejoiced.

Since that kid had his sights set on that unlucky fellow, this old man could escape smoothly.

As the saying goes, "Better a dead comrade than a living self."

Brother, accept my condolences!

We'll burn more paper money for you later!

Before they could finish rejoicing, a whistling sound came from behind them as well!

The legs of these elders instantly went weak…

A sense of tightness, as if bound by ropes, came from their bodies, and their bodies uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…!"

After landing, they finally understood what was going on!

That thick, dark staff actually had forks!

Those branching forks were like ropes, tightly binding them!

The fine branches had dense protrusions, pressing firmly against their bodies!

And the true qi within their bodies had been completely sealed!

What kind of perverted abomination was this???

Li Mingbai walked up and restored the divine wood to its original shape.

But these elders weren't running anymore.

Not because they didn't want to.

But because they couldn't…

Damn it, let alone run, they couldn't even move!

At this moment, they were completely desperate!

In the past, they were all aloof elders, but now they could only be at the mercy of others…

Especially the perverted expression on that brat's face…

They were probably doomed…

"You bunch of brats, you have quite the nerve! You dare to bully our Ziyun Sect?!"

Li Mingbai picked up his staff and began to beat the elders soundly!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…!"

He didn't use any true qi, nor any flashy techniques.

It was just the most simple and unadorned beating.

Yet, this attack, utterly devoid of skill, made the elders writhe in agony…

An even more disgusting stench than before was疯ishly assaulting their nostrils…

"Beat you to death, you scoundrels!"

The more Li Mingbai thought about it, the angrier he became, and the faster he swung his staff.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…!"

"We were wrong, we won't dare again, young hero, spare us!"

"Yes, yes, we… Don't, don't hit my face!"

"Hitting my face is fine, just don't hit my crotch… Ow—!"

On the other side of the Demonic Beast Forest.

A team of cultivators had just finished a battle.

"Senior brother, I think I just heard the voice of our Fifth Elder?" a disciple said, twitching his ears.

"Didn't our elders go with those other sect elders to teach that suicidal fellow from Ziyun Sect a lesson earlier?" the senior brother said matter-of-factly. "Isn't that normal?"

"No?" the junior disciple asked, puzzled. "Then why was it our Fifth Elder's voice? And it sounded like a scream."

The other junior disciples, hearing there was gossip, had eyes that lit up like little bulbs!

"You guys don't know this yet, do you?" The senior brother quickly scanned their surroundings and then whispered to the junior disciples, "Let me tell you secretly, our Fifth Elder is actually a psychological pervert!"

"Hiss—!"

Everyone collectively gasped.

"Senior brother, is that true?"

"I know a senior brother from the Disciplinary Hall, he told me." This senior brother also got excited, his face full of excitement. "Not only are his methods extremely cruel, but he also likes to scream himself when punishing disciples!"

These junior disciples were stunned!

Holy crap!

He really is a psycho!

These big shots really know how to have fun!

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." The senior brother cautioned carefully. "If our Fifth Elder finds out later, we're finished!"

"Senior brother's words are wise!"

The next morning, the bodies of the elders were sent back to their respective sects.

Their bones and meridians were shattered, they were beaten to death alive!

According to the disciples, someone from Ziyun Sect had provoked them first.

However, they hadn't followed at the time and didn't know the specific details.

It was only later, when the elders didn't return, that they went to investigate.

But by the time they arrived, the elders' bodies were already cold…

They hadn't even seen the appearance of the attacker…

The ten sect masters held another meeting.

"I think there's no need to wait any longer, this time we have sufficient reason!" the sect master of Lieyang Sect gritted his teeth.

The Lieyang Sect, to show their sincerity, had specially sent a few more elders.

Now, they were all gone…

The Lieyang Sect had suffered a great loss of vitality!

"I think it's acceptable…" the sect master of Luoyu Sect nodded. "Ziyun Sect killed first, and even if that person from the imperial family finds out, it won't be easy for them to protect them too overtly."

"According to investigations, the highest cultivation in Ziyun Sect is only Li Tianjiu, who is at the tenth level of Soul Transformation."

The sect master of Youlong Sect frowned.

"Now, someone capable of killing a first-level Void Comprehension cultivator suddenly appears…"

"I think it's worth a try," the sect master of Wuhua Sect analyzed. "Ziyun Sect's hidden strength is indeed somewhat surprising, but it's likely about all they have."

"If the other party truly has cultivators who can contend with us…" The sect master of Wuhua Sect glanced around at everyone. "They wouldn't have endured it like that before!"

The remaining sect masters nodded in agreement.

In the cultivation world, might makes right.

If I'm stronger than you, I can destroy you!

The imperial family and the ten great sects survived due to delicate political relationships; they were exceptions.

Otherwise, they would have been eliminated by the imperial family long ago.

Ziyun Sect, as newcomers, didn't have this situation. If they were truly that powerful, they would have attacked long ago!

Moreover, Ziyun Sect had just arrived. If they had the strength, they would definitely use this matter to establish their authority!

"Good!" The sect master of Youlong Sect, ranked first, made the decision. "After we handle the funeral rites for the elders, we'll go to Ziyun Sect and demand an explanation!"

A terrifying aura suddenly descended!

Everyone was greatly alarmed and looked towards the direction of the imperial city in unison.

This aura…

Could it be…

Imperial City.

Entrance to the Forbidden Land.

A figure slowly walked out.

Liang Dekui respectfully bowed, "Welcome, Old Ancestor, out of seclusion!"

The figure was none other than the imperial family's ancestor worshiped as a guardian.

Liang Feifan!

"Rise," Liang Feifan replied indifferently.

Only then did Liang Dekui raise his head.

"Old Ancestor, your…" Seeing Liang Feifan's appearance, Liang Dekui was greatly shocked.

His complexion was unnaturally pale, and he could barely stand steady!

Liang Dekui quickly supported the Old Ancestor.

"Alas…" Liang Feifan sighed helplessly. "This seclusion was originally intended to resolve an old injury…"

It turned out that a thousand years ago, he had suffered a severe injury in a battle, which had never healed.

This time, not only was the old injury not resolved, but it had flared up!

"Old Ancestor, I will immediately order the best resources to be sent." Liang Dekui quickly replied. "Oh, right, recently two people arrived at our Dan Lou…"

"No need," Liang Feifan waved his hand, interrupting him. "My fate is exhausted, I don't have long to live."

Liang Dekui immediately panicked…

The Old Ancestor was his greatest reliance.

If the Old Ancestor were gone, when Liang Rujing's 16th birthday calamity arrived, the Liang family would be utterly finished…

"Don't worry, although my time is short, I can still hold on until Rujing is 16." Liang Feifan comforted him.

However, he knew that even in his prime, he wouldn't have been able to resolve Liang Rujing's 16th birthday calamity.

He didn't say it out loud just to prevent Liang Dekui from panicking even more.

"By the way, Old Ancestor," Liang Dekui reported, "A while ago, a secret guard discovered an ancient ruin. This might be an opportunity."

Liang Feifan's eyes lit up!

Every ancient ruin represented an unknown opportunity!

If luck was on their side, perhaps it could truly become the Liang family's only hope!

"Pfft!" Liang Feifan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Old Ancestor!" Liang Dekui was terrified. "Why don't you go to Dan Lou…"

"It's nothing," Liang Feifan raised his hand to stop him. "You go and make arrangements, I want to meet with the ten sect masters."

"But Old Ancestor, your current state…" Liang Dekui worried. "If they see through the facade…"

If the ten great sects knew that Liang Feifan was this weak, they would definitely cause trouble!

"There's no other way," Liang Feifan sighed. "In the past, whenever I emerged from seclusion, they would come to pay their respects. If I avoid them this time, wouldn't that tell them I'm in trouble?"

"I will use a secret technique to suppress my injuries," Liang Feifan waved his hand. "You go and make the arrangements."
