Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Li Yuqiao cried out in alarm, his expression turning to one of shock and uncertainty.

He had just unleashed the full power of his Eighth Layer Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.

But even so, his attack hadn't even made a ripple. It was completely blocked by the array.

Beside him, Xiong Ba and Yang Luo looked just as grim.

The three of them had attacked together, yet they had failed to cause any significant fluctuations in the array before them.

This showed that the level of this array was likely astounding!

And the expert who could set up such an array must be terrifyingly powerful beyond imagination.

"Can you only cower behind an array?"

"Let me tell you, it's useless!"

Yang Luo frowned, studying the array for a moment. He then suddenly shot forward like a sharp arrow, rocketing toward Mu Shanhong.

"Not good!"

"Yang Luo, stop!"

Seeing this, the other two grew anxious.

They couldn't let Yang Luo get his hands on Mu Shanhong first.

If that happened, the position of Sect Leader would be his for the taking!

Mu Shanhong felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

Every time he thought he was about to die, he somehow survived.

The relief of surviving didn't last long. He watched as these relentless pursuers once again revealed their killing intent toward him.

He no longer wanted to resist, nor did he have the strength to flee.

'Fine, let it be. I'm tired. Just let it all end!'

However, just as Yang Luo was about to succeed…

BOOM!

The empty space before him suddenly rippled.

Not only was Yang Luo blocked, but the powerful backlash also sent a sharp pain through his arm and made his head spin.

"Are you kidding me? That guy can hide inside the array, but we can't go in to grab him?"

Seeing this, Li Yuqiao and Xiong Ba were stunned.

They increasingly felt that the scene before them was growing stranger.

'What in the world is going on?'

'Why did the array only let Mu Shanhong in? Isn't it openly opposing us?'

Just as the men were reeling in shock and suspicion…

An utterly terrifying aura suddenly emanated from the array before them.

"Who is causing a ruckus before my mountain gate?"

"You dare disturb my secluded cultivation? Begone at once!"

As the deep voice faded, an old man with a white beard and hair appeared before them.

A great saber hung at the old man's waist. His robes billowed without a wind, and dense waves of Spiritual Power radiated from his every move.

The men's first reaction upon seeing the old man was that he was strong—absurdly strong.

"Senior, this man is a traitor to our Nine Nether Sect. We have come to hunt him down. We hope you will grant us this convenience,"

Yang Luo said in a deep voice, cupping his fists.

"Grant you a convenience? And who will grant me one?"

"You come here so early in the morning to disturb my cultivation, and you actually expect me to accommodate you? How utterly laughable."

The old man shook his head disdainfully, flatly refusing Yang Luo. His words, laced with mockery, made Yang Luo's expression darken.

"Senior, your cultivation may be profound, but that doesn't mean we will back down."

"If you insist on being obstinate, then don't blame us for being impolite."

Li Yuqiao also cupped his fists, but his tone was much firmer and more aggressive.

"Oh?"

The white-haired elder seemed somewhat surprised. "You actually want to make a move on me? HAHAHA! Truly, you don't know your own limits. You are far too naive."

"So you won't back down, Senior?"

"Then this junior will have to offend you!"

A glint flashed in Yang Luo's eyes as he barked, "Attack!"

With that, he was the first to charge the white-haired elder, his aura surging as his Spiritual Sea churned violently behind him!

On the other side, Li Yuqiao and Xiong Ba also closed in, their faces like ice.

Faced with a powerful enemy blocking their path, they had naturally changed tactics at once, choosing to attack together and take him down first!

"Mere Spiritual Seas, and you think you can overturn the heavens?"

The white-haired elder sneered. With a wave of his sleeve, a supreme power crashed down, directly annihilating the trio's attacks.

Then, with its momentum undiminished, the immense force struck the three of them in succession.

BANG!

With a series of muffled grunts, all three were sent flying backward, spewing blood.

If the force hadn't been divided among the three of them, it's likely one of them would have been killed on the spot by that single blow.

"What?"

"How can he be so strong?!"

Yang Luo struggled to push himself up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and terror.

"This is bad!"

"We might have picked a fight with someone we can't handle this time!"

As the Grand Elder, Li Yuqiao was far more experienced. His gaze was grave as he said hesitantly, "That power just now… If I'm not mistaken, he's probably a Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator!"

"What?"

"Primordial Mansion Realm?!"

At these words, the expressions of Yang Luo and Xiong Ba changed drastically.

No matter how fearless they were, they would never dare to provoke a Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator!

"Dammit!"

"I don't get it either. Why would a Great Power of the Primordial Mansion Realm go out of his way to protect that traitor, Mu Shanhong!"

Li Yuqiao said, his expression ugly.

At this point, anyone could see that the white-haired elder had deliberately saved Mu Shanhong from them.

Not far away, Mu Shanhong was also staring, completely dumbfounded.

A Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator!!!

This was the first time he had ever seen such a being!

One had to know, across all of Lei Province, a being of this cultivation level stood at the very apex of the Cultivation Realm!

It was no wonder he was so astonished to be witnessing such an existence now.

"What should we do now?"

"With that old Primordial Mansion Realm guy here, there's no way we can touch Mu Shanhong!"

Xiong Ba said through gritted teeth.

"There's nothing we can do!"

Li Yuqiao shook his head. "Even though I can't figure out what this old man is thinking, he's a Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator. We'll never get the better of him."

"Since he wants to protect Mu Shanhong, we have no other choice. For now, we can only retreat."

Hearing this, though all of them were unwilling, they had no other options.

With a Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator standing before them, they felt their own insignificance profoundly and couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance.

However, just as the men were about to turn and retreat…

The white-haired elder spoke again.

"What, you think you can come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?"

With that, he drew his saber!

A violent saber aura instantly surged forward, spreading out like an ocean, impossible to defend against.

"What? Wait… No!"

The men spun around, their faces filled with terror.

They had no time to mount a defense before they were killed, one after another.
