If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 479 The Inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor

Following the unsurprising Nascent Soul competition, the Spirit Transformation competition began in full swing.

This time, there was no large-scale shocking incident of a genius from the Xutian Taoist sect making a breakthrough in the battle, so the protagonist of the competition returned to the genius from the Taoist sect who had reached the level of Huashen.

Perhaps because the head elder had given a death order, many geniuses from the super sects fought extra hard, and their dazzling tactics successfully drove away the heaviness brought by the military sect taking over the Confucian sect. However, the elders from the super sects and first-rate sects were somewhat absent-minded, their eyes were wandering, and no one knew what they were looking for.

Among them, super sects such as Dou Zong are particularly uneasy.

Dai Qianqiu was flexing his arms. His opponent, Qiao Zhanshan, had already entered the arena. Although aggressive, Dai Qianqiu could still see that Qiao Zhanshan was absent-minded. This made Dai Qianqiu, who had been preparing for several days and waiting to go on stage and punch Qiao Zhanshan in the face, very annoyed and helpless.

He can still distinguish right from wrong.

Li Yanmo did not explain to any of the sect leaders the matter of the Military Sect taking over the Confucian Sect, but when they thought about it themselves, they found it not strange. Li Yanmo had already intervened himself, so how could the matter be small?
The sect leaders also inferred from Li Yanmo's leisurely attitude of drinking tea that everything was under control.

So what do they have to worry about?

"Qiao Zhanshan, are you still going to fight?"

At Dai Qianqiu's reminder, Qiao Zhanshan came back to his senses and scratched his ears. "You couldn't beat me when you were in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Now you're only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and you still want to fight me? How about this, I won't bully you. I will lower my cultivation level to the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and fight you."

Seeing that Qiao Zhanshan finally got into the state, Dai Qianqiu excitedly rubbed his hands, raised his fingers, and was about to summon the Six Paths Wheel.

At this moment, the sound of heavy horns split the sky apart, and the sea of clouds churned. Countless figures could be seen emerging, at first hazy like phantoms, then gradually becoming clearer. The first to appear was the word "Dayu". The leading general was wearing golden armor and a phoenix-wing helmet, with the helmet tassel dancing like flames.

The representative of the super sect on the judges' platform suddenly stood up.

"Dayu's Imperial Army!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light fell and heavily smashed into the venue of the Taoist competition. When the light dissipated, everyone could see the true form. It was a huge hook, and the heavy chain continued to extend and finally sank into the clouds.

Before everyone could react, more hooks came down, forming a dragnet.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Cang Lei stepped forward, bowing tentatively, "I wonder what brings you here, General?"

The general took off his helmet, and his appearance made everyone present startle again.

Because the visitor was none other than Xiao Yun, who had missed out on the title of marquis because of Li Lin during the Yanzhou expedition and who had cultivated the bones of a great saint with the help of the power of the Dao Pillar.

"Of course it's official business," Xiao Yun snorted coldly. Although he was still in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the powerful aura he exuded made even Cang Lei feel his scalp tingling.

Cang Lei knew that Xiao Yun's high-profile visit this time must have been instructed by Emperor Yu to test him, but people from both Xutian Taoist Sect and Tianxu Tower were watching below, so he couldn't give a direct answer and could only bite the bullet and pretend to be stupid.

"Official business? I wonder what the General is referring to?"

Xiao Yun snorted coldly, "There's a vicious criminal hiding at the Daoist competition. I'm here to apprehend him!"

After these words were spoken, Gui Wuchang and others could no longer hold back.

Isn't Emperor Yu being too impatient? This isn't the right way to force someone to express their opinion!
Cang Lei played dumb, "General, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. How could there be such a vicious person in the Taoist competition? General, can you tell me the truth so I can help you track him down?"

"Humph! Still playing dumb!"

Cang Lei's heart instantly rose to his throat.

"I'm naturally talking about Li Lin! That evil creature practices the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, devouring cultivators to improve his cultivation. I've received reliable intelligence that he's been at the Daoist Competition for a long time, devouring the cultivation of the Taoist geniuses!" Xiao Yun scolded him harshly, "So many people are missing, and you're still pretending to be stupid?!"

Cang Lei was stunned. Gui Wuchang and the others were also stunned. After a brief moment of shock, they reacted and broke out in cold sweat.

Cang Lei's eyes flickered for a moment before he bowed and saluted. "General Xiao, we are not aware of this matter, but the Heaven Devouring Demon Art is a forbidden technique. Anyone who practices this art is punishable by death. If General Xiao doesn't mind, we can help you."

"Help me? Humph—"

Xiao Yun snorted contemptuously and ignored Cang Lei, but turned around and shouted.

"Li Lin! I'm here, do you still want to hide? Or do you want me to catch you out myself?"

Li Yanmo didn't understand how Li Lin and Xiao Yun's drama had come to this point, but out of trust in these two people, Li Yanmo still chose to drink tea leisurely.

Kong Pu and others, who already knew that Xiao Yun and Li Yanmo were master and disciple, rubbed their hands and watched the show.

I said we had a backup plan, and look, it’s here!
After a brief pause, a long laugh came from one of the arenas. A man took off his mask and looked up at Xiao Yun fearlessly, "Why, do you want to give me two more bones?"

Many monks exclaimed in surprise.

It was not just because that person was Li Lin in disguise, but also because Li Lin was already a Jindan cultivator, and he had been winning streaks since he stepped onto the ring. With his initial cultivation level, he had defeated Jindan cultivators in the middle and late stages, and even a disciple from a super sect.

You know, when the Yanzhou expedition started, Li Lin was still in the Nascent Soul stage, but now he's already reached the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage?!
Everyone immediately thought of the reason why Xiao Yun came here.

Arrest Li Lin who was secretly practicing the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art and devouring the geniuses at the Taoist competition.

Mumao Sect and other quasi-first-class sects had more cold sweat on their foreheads.

They knew better than anyone why Li Lin was able to devour so many geniuses quietly.

If Li Lin pushed them out, let alone becoming a first-rate sect, it would be another matter whether they could survive!

Xiao Yun's face suddenly darkened. "You evil creature! Don't be so presumptuous! The Imperial Guards are here, do you think you can escape?"

"Hahahaha—do you think you're the only one with help?"

As soon as Li Lin said this, Gui Wuchang's expression suddenly changed.

This Li Lin wants to drag them all down with him!
What was this? They weren't even ready to drag Bahuang Hou into the water, but they were being dragged into the water first?
Gui Wuchang gritted his teeth, made a quick decision, and prepared to kill Li Lin directly.

It is better to offend the Marquis of Bahuang than to be disliked by the Tianxu Tower, considered useless by the Xutian Taoist school, and regarded as an enemy by Emperor Yu!

But at this moment, the entire Taoist competition site was shaken like the earth shaking.

The pillars nailed into the Eight Desolate Land collapsed with a loud bang, the ground cracked, and the air of desolation gushed out from it. As the cracks gradually widened, one wild monster after another squeezed out, twisting their necks and showing creepy smiles to the monks present.

A strange sound came from their throats.

"The inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor has appeared, and those who are destined to inherit it will obtain it——"

"The inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor!?" someone exclaimed.

Li Lin laughed loudly and jumped into the nearest crack. "Xiao Yun! When I obtain the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor, it will be your death!"

Xiao Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted towards the distance, "Marquis Bahuang, why didn't you stop the desolate monster?"

A voice came from a distance, "This Marquis cannot intervene in this matter, lest the general think that I am abusing my power for personal gain."
