CHAPTER 1109: CHAPTER 1100: LIFE AND DEATH TECHNIQUE

"Am I dreaming? Since when did Shi Yan possess such cultivation?"

Below the high stage, all the disciples of the No-Thought Sect were dumbfounded, discussing among themselves.

"Wasn’t his Spirit Sea blocked by miasma, preventing any cultivation progress?"

The matters concerning Shi Yan were no longer a secret within No-Thought Sect; everyone knew about them.

"What exactly happened to Shi Yan? When did he repair his Spirit Sea and elevate his cultivation to the Saint Venerable Realm?"

Everyone was puzzled and intensely curious, yet none could explain it; they would never believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.

As the crowd discussed, on the high stage, the two had already clashed again.

The confrontation between these two Saint Venerable Realm geniuses made the void shiver, heavens and earth darken, the power of infinite laws filled the air, stifling the breath of the disciples.

After a long battle, they stood in stalemate, neither able to prevail over the other.

Zhang Yongfei possessed the power of the second heaven of the Saint Venerable Realm, while Shi Yan was only of the first heaven. No matter how powerful a method he used to attack, the opponent could easily counter and retaliate.

This situation made Zhang Yongfei feel a bit stifled inside.

The Illusion Destruction Divine Palace was one of the Sacred Lands of the Eastern Desolate, and he was among the top ten experts of the younger generation of the sect. He couldn’t do anything against Shi Yan, who had a cultivation level a rank lower.

This was undoubtedly a great humiliation, as the No-Thought Sect was just an intermediate power within the Eastern Desolate. Failing to suppress Shi Yan today would not only be Zhang Yongfei’s disgrace but also that of the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace.

"Slash!"

At this moment, he completely unleashed himself, no longer competing with Shi Yan, but rather engaging in a death match.

The Holy Path Sword Dao stretched across the heavenly vault, containing infinite powers of law, as if it tore through the void, slashing from the chaotic ages, directly targeting Shi Yan, slicing downwards.

"No-Thought!"

Shi Yan’s expression changed, not daring to be careless at all.

He shouted coldly, a surge of overwhelming force bursting from his body, sweeping across the land, icy chill pervading his form.

At this moment, he appeared like a killing god emerging from hell, ruthless and indifferent, slaughtering all around.

"It’s the No-Thought Divine Technique, our No-Thought Sect’s most powerful Life and Death Technique!"

All around, the disciples’ expressions changed. Shi Yan had once been the direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, and it was no surprise he cultivated the No-Thought Divine Technique. Yet none had expected he could now unleash this Life and Death Technique to such extent.

"Crack!"

Above the void, the Holy Path Sword Light shattered instantly, dispersing into countless sword glimmers. An invisible, icy aura transformed into a massive Heavenly Net, enveloping Zhang Yongfei from all sides, seemingly to drown him, erase him here.

Zhang Yongfei’s expression changed dramatically, his great sword broken, leaving him to lament helplessly; now facing the invisible net closing in, he had no power to resist.

"Impudent!"

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed across the field, changing everyone’s expression.

In a flash, an aged figure leapt from the direction where the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace’s people stood, appearing before Zhang Yongfei.

With an angry shout, he thrust his palm forward, crushing the approaching net.

"Who are you, to dare lay hands on a disciple of my Illusion Destruction Divine Palace!"

His gaze bore into Shi Yan, rebuking him, releasing an emperor’s might from his body, pressing down on Shi Yan like a mountain.

"Buzz..."

Shi Yan felt his mind shudder intensely, unable to muster any resistance before the Emperor Realm expert.

"Daoist Dongchuan, quell your anger!"

The Supreme Elder of No-Thought Sect quickly flew over; this elder named Dongchuan was the Deacon Grand Elder of the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace, influential and respected. Though both were of the Emperor Realm, Dongchuan’s strength far exceeded his own.

"In a martial contest, you harbor such murderous intent. If not for my timely intervention, wouldn’t Yongfei have met a bitter end here today?"

Dongchuan sneered, his gaze fixed on the Supreme Elder, flashing with cold glints.

"This..."

The Supreme Elder’s forehead began to sweat uneasily; the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace was one of the Sacred Lands of the Eastern Desolate, not a force the No-Thought Sect could afford to provoke.

"The No-Thought Divine Technique is our No-Thought Sect’s Life and Death Technique. Once unleashed, it may lose rationality in a moment. Shi Yan was forced to act accordingly just now..."

Zhang Yongfei first showed intent to kill. If Shi Yan hadn’t used the No-Thought Divine Technique just then, he would undoubtedly have been wiped out here; that would have been the inevitable outcome.

At its core, Shi Yan was justified in his actions; he was forced to use the No-Thought Divine Technique. However, given that his opponent was the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace, a dominant force of the Eastern Desolate, even if No-Thought Sect was justified, handling the situation improperly could be problematic and troublesome.

"Forced?"

Dongchuan sneered, continuing, "This matter requires an explanation from my Illusion Destruction Divine Palace."

"What kind of explanation do you want?"

However, just as he finished speaking, a faint voice emerged from the crowd.

All the people present were astonished, turning their gaze toward the direction of the voice.

Mo Wangchen gently placed Yuyu down from his embrace, leaving Zhuo Yun to take care of her. He walked slowly ahead, stopping not far from Dongchuan.

"It was your disciple from Illusion Destruction Divine Palace who first showed an intention to kill. Shi Yan was compelled to use the Life and Death Technique. If any explanation is needed, it should be you, Illusion Destruction Divine Palace, giving him an explanation."

"Impudent!"

"Who are you to speak so brashly to the Grand Elder!"

Mo Wangchen’s words instantly ignited the anger of the group of disciples from the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace nearby, their eyes turning fiercely towards him.

"What insolence, does the No-Thought Sect only teach such disciples who don’t know their place? Daring to defy even the Grand Elder of my Illusion Destruction Divine Palace!"

"Huo Dou Sect Master, if you do not expel this person from your No-Thought Sect, my Illusion Destruction Divine Palace will not let this matter rest!"

The disciples looked coldly at Mo Wangchen, then addressed Huo Dou from the distance.

"This..."

Huo Dou was speechless; he lacked the authority to expel Mo Wangchen from the No-Thought Sect because Mo Wangchen was not actually a disciple of the No-Thought Sect.

In fact, over the past six months, Huo Dou had yet to understand Mo Wangchen’s background; he only knew that Mo Wangchen possessed extraordinary Alchemy Dao skill, such that not even the Supreme Elder dared to offend him.

Upon careful consideration, with Mo Wangchen’s extraordinary alchemy skill, few in the Eastern Desolate could rival him; his status was comparable to that of a Saint Master.

It’s no wonder he dared speak so boldly to the Grand Elder of the Illusion Destruction Divine Palace.

Thankfully, he remained silent, observing quietly; when gods fight, it’s best to just watch.
