Chapter 1236 Power
When the two arrived in front of Zhu Lingyun, Zhu Lingyun was measuring the golden scepter.

He looked solemn.

They had originally planned for Chu Liezhao to use the Haoyang Subduing Demon Mirror, and even with Ji Qingyun and Zheng Pingzhang watching, they were determined to make Chu Liezhao appear.

The soul of the Undying Evil Lord was unwilling to give up.

Unexpectedly, the golden scepter was so powerful that it directly blasted away the soul of the Undying Evil Lord.

Before I could even take it in, it had already returned to the Dreamland.

That means this feud is now set in stone, so the Wuxin Sect must be destroyed.

Destroying the Heartless Sect will sever the passage through which this immortal evil lord descends.

The biggest surprise was this golden scepter, whose power was beyond imagination.

"God!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Ji Qingyun and Zheng Pingzhang floated over, smiling and clasping their hands in congratulations.

Zhu Lingyun glanced up at them, noticing their pale, haggard, and weak faces, and said indifferently, "Didn't you retreat far enough?"

Zheng Pingzhang said, "We retreated another mile, but we still couldn't hold on. This golden scepter is too powerful!"

He looked at the golden scepter with admiration: "It actually destroyed the Supreme God!"

Ji Qingyun said, "This scepter is powerful, but it also depends on the person wielding it. If it is not a deity, it cannot unleash its power."

Zhu Lingyun said, "You have indeed done a great service this time... I will pass on a secret technique to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Qingyun quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

He wanted to say something modest, that offering the scepter to the deity was his duty and that no reward was needed.

But I'm also afraid that this secret method will really be lost.

Zheng Pingzhang looked at Ji Qingyun with envy. Seeing that Zhu Lingyun had not conveyed any message to him, he rubbed his head and looked pained.

Zhu Lingyun pretended not to see it and said indifferently, "The rest is up to you."

He pointed his golden scepter at the opposite mountain peak, which was covered with dense forests, where houses and pavilions were hidden.

Zhu Lingyun said, "The people inside should all be powerless to resist."

The two were startled.

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "After dealing with them, let's move on to the next location."

"Yes!" The two men solemnly clasped their hands in greeting.

They exchanged a glance, then gracefully glided towards the opposite mountain peak.

They did not doubt Zhu Lingyun's words.

Even from miles away, the shockwaves felt like their brains were about to splatter and their heads were about to split open.

How could these Wuxin Sect disciples nearby possibly stop them?

These disciples of the Heartless Sect are probably already dead; I'm just going there to count their corpses.

The outermost part of these buildings is a pavilion, which is obviously a sentry post.

As soon as they approached, four middle-aged men emerged from the pavilion, dressed in black robes with ashen faces.

The four middle-aged men didn't even ask where they came from before they pounced on them and struck with their palms.

The two were taken aback and raised their palms to meet the attack.

With a "bang," the four middle-aged men took several steps back.

One of them suddenly pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle.

Amidst the shrill cries, groups of experts rushed out from one pavilion after another and one courtyard after another, surrounding the two of them in the blink of an eye and launching a fierce attack.

"What's going on?!" Zheng Pingzhang shouted.

Ji Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "Are there any treasures here to protect the sect?"

Even the most powerful treasures often have counteracting treasures.

It is highly likely that the Wuxin Sect possesses a treasure capable of countering the Golden Scepter, thus protecting them.

Unfortunately, this was the time when the two of them were at their weakest. They had headaches, their bodies ached, they were weak and powerless, and they could only exert 30% or 40% of their strength.

"Let's retreat!" Zheng Pingzhang said. "We can't hold them off!"

Among these masters of the Heartless Sect, none were Venerables; they were all below the Venerable level.

Otherwise, the two of them would be seriously injured by now.

These non-Venerables were not strong; normally, even if there were many of them, they wouldn't be enough for the two of them to kill.

But now, it's like ants biting an elephant to death; if they don't leave now, they might not be able to escape.

"withdraw!"

Ji Qingyun gritted his teeth.

Zheng Pingzhang swung his palm fiercely, using all his strength to send several people flying. The two rushed out through the gap, turning into two wisps of smoke, and arrived in front of Zhu Lingyun in one breath.

Zhu Lingyun sat cross-legged on a blue stone, calmly watching them fall to the ground in a sorry state, breathing heavily, blood gushing from the corners of their mouths.

He watched the two of them without saying a word.

Zheng Pingzhang grinned bitterly, wiping the blood from his mouth: "Your Majesty, those guys are all safe and sound, not even injured. They were full of energy and almost wiped us out!"

Zhu Lingyun frowned and looked down at the golden scepter.

Zheng Pingzhang asked, "Could it be that it's been countered by some kind of treasure?"

Zhu Lingyun coldly asked, "They weren't injured at all?"

"No, absolutely not injured!" Zheng Pingzhang stated confidently.

Zhu Lingyun looked at Ji Qingyun.

Ji Qingyun frowned in deep thought.

Zhu Lingyun asked, "Is something wrong?"

Ji Qingyun looked at Zheng Pingzhang: "It seems there are no experts at the Venerable Realm, all of them are below the Venerable Realm."

"...Yes, there really isn't a Venerable One here," Zheng Pingzhang said. "Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble!"

"Where have their Venerable Masters gone?" Ji Qingyun asked. "Could it be that they were dispatched by the Undying God Venerable and none of them remained in the sect?"

"Really?" Zheng Pingzhang said, "No matter what, even if the Undying God is powerful, he still needs to leave two people to guard the sect. He can't send them all out."

Ji Qingyun's expression changed: "They wouldn't turn against us, would they?"

"Impossible!" Zheng Pingzhang said, "They don't...have the guts?"

As he spoke, his voice gradually softened, and he became less confident.

It's not impossible.

They are thinking of dealing with the Heartless Sect, and the Heartless Sect will probably try to deal with the Myriad Manifestations Sect as soon as it gets the chance.

He then shook his head: "If they really want to deal with us, why isn't the Undying God making a move?"

Ji Qingyun said in a deep voice, "I have to admit it! ...Godly Venerable?"

Zhu Lingyun shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it... Let's go explore again and see if there are any Venerable experts inside."

"Yes." Ji Qingyun agreed without hesitation: "I'll go take a look."

He waved his hand to stop Zheng Pingzhang from speaking: "It's settled then!"

Zheng Pingzhang said helplessly, "Alright, I'll recover for a bit. I can't hold on any longer."

The injury is getting worse and can't be delayed any longer. Even if I take the elixir, I need to recuperate.

"Your Majesty, I'm off." Ji Qingyun clasped his hands in greeting.

Zhu Lingyun nodded indifferently, put the golden scepter back into his sleeve, and closed his eyes again.

Just as Ji Qingyun turned to leave, his indifferent voice rang out: "They may have already been wiped out."

Ji Qingyun was taken aback.

Zhu Lingyun closed his eyes and mouth, and stopped speaking.

Ji Qingyun hesitated, clasped his hands in a fist salute once more, and then turned and floated away.

He walked while pondering Zhu Lingyun's words.

All the Venerable Masters have been wiped out?

Who destroyed these Venerable Ones? Was it the Undying God Venerable, or a God Venerable?

If he is an immortal god, then what exactly does this immortal god want to do?
If it was a god, how was it destroyed? ...The golden scepter?

His figure grew increasingly dim, seemingly merging with the surrounding trees, his breath becoming one with theirs.

After circling around, they slowly moved from outside another pavilion and safely entered the Wuxin Sect.

……

A quarter of an hour later, he returned to Zhu Lingyun, his eyes burning: "Divine Lord, those Venerables are indeed dead, all bleeding from their seven orifices."

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "It is the wonder of the golden scepter."

Zheng Pingzhang couldn't help but speak up: "But none of those guys were injured... Could it be that the Golden Scepter only kills Venerable-level experts and not those below the Venerable level?... That's too outrageous, impossible!"

Zhu Lingyun glanced at him.

Ji Qingyun asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, is it really so?"

“Below the Venerable One, divine essence cannot be generated,” Zhu Lingyun said calmly, “It causes divine essence to backfire on itself.”

"I see..." Ji Qingyun suddenly realized.

Zheng Pingzhang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Divine Lord, then it will be too easy for us to destroy other sects, and we can even directly wipe out the Evil Extermination Division!"
