CHAPTER 68: CHAPTER 68: THE YU MO SECT, A STRONG DIVINE BRIDGE REALM FIGHTER ARRIVES

Feeling the powerful presence, all the members of the Shen Family rushed out into the courtyard, knelt, and kowtowed respectfully.

"We respectfully welcome Elder Zhu!"

Countless voices roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The visitor was Elder Zhu of the Yu Mo Sect.

The Yu Mo Sect was one of the three most formidable "major Sects."

In the entire Shenfeng Dynasty, it was considered a titan among forces.

This Elder Zhu was an unparalleled expert at the fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm. To the members of the Shen Family, he was almost a god-like existence.

From mid-air, Elder Zhu observed the Shen Family’s respectful demeanor, and a faint smile touched his cold, handsome face.

"All of you, rise."

Elder Zhu descended from the sky. With a wave of his hand, a surge of Mana swept out, lifting everyone from the ground.

He glanced around and asked indifferently, "Where is Shen Wei? How is the matter I entrusted to him progressing?"

An elderly man in black hurriedly bowed, ran forward, and explained, "Elder Zhu, our Clan Leader went to the Chang Family to retrieve that Cultivation Technique and has not yet returned."

"Very well, I shall wait for him for a while."

Elder Zhu flicked his wide sleeves, preparing to enter the main hall to wait.

Just then, a streak of light suddenly descended from the sky.

"Second Uncle, quickly open the Treasure Pavilion and bring out the Black Lotus Continuation Ointment!" Shen Ting yelled as soon as he landed, his face contorted in agony.

He had not yet noticed Elder Zhu standing nearby.

Elder Zhu’s eyes flickered. Seeing Shen Ting clutching a severed arm, he frowned and asked, "A distinguished Shaping God Realm Cultivator like yourself, how did you manage to get your arm severed on your own territory here in Xuan Yang County?"

Shen Ting focused his gaze and, upon recognizing Elder Zhu of the Yu Mo Sect, was greatly alarmed. He quickly knelt and said in a trembling voice, "Shen Ting was unaware of Elder Zhu’s esteemed presence. Please forgive my offense."

"I do not hold it against you," Elder Zhu said with a faint smile. "Just tell me... who injured you."

"It was a third-level Shaping God Realm Cultivator from the Chang Family..." Shen Ting hesitated for a moment, then recounted the events, mixing truth with falsehood.

Elder Zhu frowned. "Since when did the Chang Family have a Shaping God Realm Cultivator?"

Shen Ting shook his head. "Elder Zhu, I am not clear on that either. It seems to be an outside Cultivator. Right now, the Clan Leader and the others are fighting her. They should be able to kill that woman soon."

Elder Zhu gazed towards a certain direction in the sky, a sense of unease stirring within him.

He did not entirely trust the Shen Family. He wanted to seize the Chang Family’s Yuan Yang Tempering Body Technique. It was rumored that this Cultivation Technique could lead directly to the Destiny Realm. Five years ago, he had fortuitously discovered a small Yuan Yang Stone mine and had since been searching everywhere for a Yuan Yang cultivation method. Unexpectedly, through a stroke of luck, he received astonishing news: the Chang Family of Xuan Yang County possessed an ancestral Cultivation Technique. This technique, if aided by Yuan Yang Stones, could supposedly allow one to cultivate all the way to the Destiny Realm.

This news immediately piqued Elder Zhu’s interest.

Recalling his established connection with the Shen Family of Xuan Yang County, he had written a letter and dispatched it via Flying Sword, instructing the Shen Family to acquire the Cultivation Technique in advance. He too had then set out from the Yu Mo Sect, heading straight for the Shen Family.

Elder Zhu had only heard rumors about the Yuan Yang Tempering Body Technique and did not understand it thoroughly.

In reality, the Yuan Yang Tempering Body Technique could not only lead to the Destiny Realm but even to the Life and Death Realm. After all, this Cultivation Technique had once been refined by the most powerful expert on the Cangnan Continent.

「」

With his mind made up, Elder Zhu immediately tore through the air, heading straight for the Chang Family.

Meanwhile, at the Chang Family’s estate, Su Wanyi and Shen Wei’s group were still locked in a fierce battle.

Although Shen Wei’s side had superior numbers, they had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. They were being thoroughly suppressed by Su Wanyi, and members of their group were continually sustaining injuries.

Shen Wei lamented inwardly. He had never imagined that this stunningly beautiful woman, with her divine swordsmanship, would be so terrifyingly powerful. Their five experts were attacking her together, yet they were still no match for her. If this dragged on, they would likely be completely annihilated. However, withdrawing now was also practically impossible. If they tried to disengage, Su Wanyi would likely pick them off one by one, leading to the same disastrous outcome of total annihilation.

Just as they found themselves in this predicament, a voice familiar to Shen Wei suddenly echoed through the sky above the Chang Family estate.

"Shen Wei, you lot are truly pathetic! To be bullied to this extent by a little girl at the third level of the Shaping God Realm! No wonder Xuan Yang County never produces any talents!"

As his voice fell, an immense pressure, characteristic of a Divine Bridge Realm expert, descended from the sky.

All the members of the Chang Family felt their knees buckle; they could no longer remain standing. Some collapsed to their knees, while others fell prone on the ground.

Chang Feng looked up, his expression changing drastically. He saw an elderly man in a black robe standing in mid-air—a Divine Bridge Realm expert.

Recognizing him more clearly, Chang Feng was horrified to realize that the newcomer was from the Yu Mo Sect!

The crushing pressure of the Divine Bridge Realm expert bore down.

At this moment, Su Wanyi’s movements also became somewhat sluggish.

Elder Zhu stood in the void, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding a faint luminescence, like a deity surveying the mortal realm.

He did not intervene directly. After all, as a Divine Bridge Realm expert, he had his pride. Simply releasing his oppressive might would be enough to greatly hinder that insignificant female Shaping God Realm Cultivator below. This, in turn, would create an advantageous opening for Shen Wei and his men.

「Inside the ancestral hall.」

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

The black carriage parked outside the Chang Family’s residence suddenly emitted a glow and swiftly descended into the main courtyard. The light dissipated, revealing a youth of about fourteen or fifteen.

"Junior Brother!" Su Wanyi exclaimed, both surprised and overjoyed at Jun Moxiao’s sudden appearance.

Her Junior Brother was a powerful Divine Bridge Realm expert! His strength was immense, and he could fight those of higher cultivation levels with ease. Su Wanyi was confident that the old man at the fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm would be no match for her Junior Brother.

Jun Moxiao quickly assessed the scene, his understanding clear. He drew his Chaos Element Unlimited Sword and declared with a hearty laugh, "Senior Sister, I’ve come to lend you a hand!"

With that, Jun Moxiao soared into the air, positioning himself in the void directly opposite Elder Zhu.

A Divine Bridge Realm youth? Elder Zhu stared at the suddenly appeared Jun Moxiao. Sensing the latter’s aura, he couldn’t help but be greatly astonished. To reach the Divine Bridge Realm at the age of fourteen or fifteen—even in the Yu Mo Sect, such a person would be considered a top-tier prodigy!

"Old fogey, how dare you bully my Senior Sister! This young master will teach you a proper lesson today!" Jun Moxiao proclaimed. He flicked his Chaos Element Unlimited Sword, producing a clear, crisp ringing sound. Instantly, an enormous Divine Dragon Phantom materialized behind him.

This Divine Dragon Phantom was even larger and more solid than Su Wanyi’s.

The Golden Giant Dragon coiled in the void, its pair of golden eyes radiating an icy gaze that made Elder Zhu’s heart pound with trepidation. His expression turned grave, and he quickly drew his sword.

Despite this youth only being at the first level of the Divine Bridge Realm, he exuded an intense sense of danger.
