Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 226 What do you know?

The six elders of Yougu Palace and Master Jihe did not back down at all. They quickly adjusted their formation and each unleashed their strongest spells to attack Palace Master Wan.

Master Ji He's ancient whip danced in the air, its shadow flashing like a nimble dragon, lashing out at Palace Master Wan from time to time; the spells of the other honorary elders also struck Palace Master Wan one after another.

However, the Palace Master's defenses were as solid as an impenetrable wall. These attacks only caused him to sway slightly and did not cause him any real harm.

Palace Master Wan laughed arrogantly: "You ants think you can defeat me? Today, I will show you what true power is!"

His voice, like a booming bell, echoed throughout the library, filled with boundless pressure.

The Palace Master's maniacal laughter was suddenly interrupted by a beam of dark blue light. The void behind him cracked open like a mirror, revealing an ancient palace floating above the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The three blood-red characters "Tianxu Palace" on the palace plaque dripped with black blood, and twelve chains extended from the palace into the main body of the palace complex.

"I said I would preserve their Nascent Soul sacrificial flags." A faint, ethereal voice echoed from the palace. The twelve chains suddenly tightened, and demonic runes identical to those on the stone coffin appeared beneath the Palace Master's skin. "Now, let them see what true power is."

Everyone present was a cultivator. Not to mention that Gao Yongxiu and a few other elders who were only around three hundred years old had never seen anything like it, even those honorary elders who were six or seven hundred years old and had not yet broken through to the Mahayana stage had never seen such a spectacle in all their long lives.

I've never even heard of "Tianxu Palace".

"My lord!" The Palace Master's voice suddenly became respectful, "These ants have discovered my identity. I will leave no one alive."

Ji He cursed, "Wan Chongshan, you are the master of Yougu Palace. As the master of a palace, what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with? Why do you want to be a lackey of this damned Tianxu Palace?"

"What do you know!"

Palace Master Wan suddenly shouted, "When you've seen a wider world, you'll know that even though we are already Great Ascension Star Lords, we are nothing more than ants in their Taixu Palace. What's wrong with wanting supreme power?"

Song Hongyuan: "But you shouldn't have taken the life of the Palace Master of Fengze, nor should you have framed Junior Brother Xu."

"What are you pretending to be?"

Wan Chongshan scoffed coldly: "You just didn't get the chance."

As early as when that person from Tianxu Palace appeared, the Taixu Mirror began to tremble incessantly, and ancient records from the Tianji Pavilion appeared in the well: Tianxu Palace, an ancient sect, was sealed by the nine major sects for cultivating forbidden techniques.

They used living people as alchemical furnaces, attempting to refine the power of the underworld.

The Hidden Valley Palace is not only renowned for its alchemy, but also for its forbidden arts.

However, previous palace masters had already banned forbidden techniques and placed books on forbidden techniques on the top floor of the library to prevent palace disciples from reading or practicing them.

Unexpectedly, the Palace Master was attracted by the forbidden technique and stole it from his own guard.

"I see." Leng Xuan suddenly spat out his life essence blood, drawing the Ziwei Doushu diagram of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the void. "Palace Master Wan, you already offered your Nascent Soul to the Heavenly Ruins Palace, didn't you?"

The Palace Master's pupils turned into vertical lines, and his body began to swell.

“That’s right!” His voice became hoarse. “As long as the Master opens the passage to the Netherworld, I will gain eternal life and supreme power!”

Gu Changzhou's Starry Sword Qi was suddenly absorbed into the body of Wan Gong, and the Xuan Tie Sword let out a mournful cry.

"He's absorbing the power of the stars!" A black dragon mark appeared on Gu Changzhou's arm. "Jun'er, use the Taixu Sword Soul!"

Liu Sijun plunged the Taixu Sword Soul into the ground, and the phantom of the Fengze Palace Master appeared on the sword. "Sijun, ignite his nascent soul with the Nanming Li Fire."

When the Southern Ming Fire spread along the chains to the Heavenly Ruins Palace, the twelve blood cauldrons in the palace suddenly exploded.

When the twelve blood cauldrons in the palace suddenly exploded, a powerful and evil force erupted from them, causing the entire library to tremble.

Black smoke billowed out, mixed with shrill screams and curses.

Liu Sijun gripped the Taixu Sword Soul tightly, the Nanming Li Fire burning fiercely on the sword, yet it was still difficult to completely suppress this sudden evil power.

She could sense that the power sealed within these blood cauldrons was far stronger than she had imagined.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Liu Sijun shouted loudly while circulating his spiritual power, trying to stabilize the situation.

Gu Changzhou quickly came to her side, the Xuan Tie sword flashing with light, and the power of stars flowing around him, forming a defensive barrier to resist the impact of that evil power.

Leng Xuan's expression turned extremely solemn, and his Zi Wei Dou Shu chart teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of this force.

He gritted his teeth and spat out another mouthful of his life essence, injecting it into the Ziwei Doushu diagram in an attempt to maintain the stability of the formation.

"We cannot allow this power to spread, otherwise the entire cultivation world will face a great calamity!"

The six elders of Yougu Palace and Master Jihe did not back down at all. They cooperated with each other and used various powerful spells to try to dispel the black smoke.

Master Ji He swung his ancient whip even more fiercely in the air, and wherever the whip's shadow passed, the black smoke was dispersed, creating gaps.

However, taking advantage of the chaos, the Palace Master launched another attack.

His body swelled to its limit, the demonic patterns beneath his skin shimmered with an eerie light, and twelve chains, as if alive, wrapped around Liu Sijun and the others.

"You will all die today! Once I open the Netherworld passage, the entire cultivation world will grovel at my feet!"

Liu Sijun's Taixu Mirror shone brightly, shooting out sharp beams of light that attempted to sever the chains.

However, with the blessing of the Heavenly Ruins Palace, the power of the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Palaces became exceptionally strong. The chains were only slightly blocked before continuing to wrap around him frantically.

Just when everyone was in dire straits, Liu Sijun suddenly remembered a special alchemy technique that Master Lu had taught her, which might be able to transform this evil power.

She took a deep breath, enduring the corrosive influence of the surrounding evil forces, and began to circulate the Southern Bright Fire of the Taixu Sword Soul in a unique rhythm, attempting to mimic the method of harmonizing spiritual energy during alchemy.

"Hang in there, everyone! I have a plan!"

Liu Sijun shouted loudly, his forehead covered in sweat, his hair disheveled by the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Gu Changzhou stood tightly beside her, wielding his Xuan Tie sword continuously. His star-shaped sword energy clashed fiercely with the twelve chains, attempting to buy time for Liu Sijun.

"Jun'er, don't worry, I will definitely not let this evil thing harm you!"

Leng Xuan also did his best to maintain the Ziwei Doushu Diagram. Although his face was as pale as paper and his spiritual power was almost exhausted, his eyes remained firm.
