CHAPTER 672: CHAPTER 672: COUNTERMEASURES

"Boy, do not let me find out who you are, otherwise I will crush your bones to ashes!"

A roaring voice erupted from Wang Hao’s mouth!

Wang Hao vented for quite a while, then finally stopped.

"What did that person look like?"

The disciple immediately used Spiritual Power to conjure up Ling Chen’s appearance.

However, since Ling Chen had changed his appearance back then.

No one recognized him!

The disciple added, "That person is at the early stage of the ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm. Furthermore, Huang Guardian mistook him for Ling Chen of the Star Pavilion during the battle, but the man denied it."

"That man’s words are not credible!"

Wang Hao said.

Now, he finally regained composure.

Now that the sect’s foundation is shaken, anger is of no use, it is still better to find the perpetrator first.

"However, someone who could slay a King while possessing the cultivation of the Palace Mansion Realm, other than Ling Chen and Shen Xing from Star Pavilion, I can’t think of anyone else!"

Wang Hao’s face was gloomy as he spoke, "Tell me about the battle!"

The disciple then recounted the battle between the two.

Hearing that the murderer had used the Emperor Spirit Technique, Wang Hao’s expression was incredibly shocked.

As everyone knows, only a King can use the Emperor Spirit Technique.

Even Ling Chen, when he killed a one-star King, had never used the Emperor Spirit Technique.

It’s unbelievable that such a prodigy has appeared in the Eastern Domain!

At this moment, the Sect Leader of Fierce Sun Sect had also arrived.

He also had a disciple behind him.

Who had come to report as well.

The two exchanged intelligence.

"The cultivator who attacked your Fierce Sun Sect is an eighth layer King in the Palace Mansion Realm, almost entirely using Physical Power to beat your sect’s guardian to death, it must undoubtedly be Shen Xing of the Star Pavilion!"

Wang Hao said.

They were all aware of Shen Xing’s strength.

That was a being capable of contending with a late third layer World Realm King!

Even if they made a move, they might not necessarily be better than Shen Xing.

Furthermore, the Divine Body of Shen Xing and the background behind him made them extremely wary!

Soon, Ye Tianjun also came over.

Upon hearing that Divine Saber Sect and Fierce Sun Sect had been attacked, he rushed over immediately.

"Both Sect Masters, this matter is definitely not done by the disciples of my Burning Flame Sect!"

Ye Tianjun immediately explained as he arrived.

If their Burning Flame Sect really had such disciples, how could they have been so disastrously defeated in the first clash with the Star Pavilion?

But now, there are rumors everywhere of their Burning Flame Sect disciples taking action.

He could only come forward to clarify.

The Sect Leader of Fierce Sun Sect nodded, "I know, the one who attacked our sect should be Shen Xing!"

So physically powerful, it could be none other than Shen Xing!

Hearing this, Ye Tianjun felt relieved and immediately looked towards Wang Hao, "Master Wang, has the identity of the attacker against your Divine Saber Sect been confirmed?"

"No!"

Wang Hao shook his head: "The murderer is suspected to be Ling Chen."

"Ling Chen?"

Upon hearing this name, a killing intent erupted in Ye Tianjun’s eyes.

This situation right now, it’s all because of Ling Chen!

"Yes!"

Wang Hao nodded: "The murderer is at the early stage of the ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm, but he can use Emperor Spirit Technique!"

"What?"

Ye Tianjun was shocked.

Ling Chen is still a King now, and he doesn’t even have the World Power, how could he possibly use the Emperor Spirit Technique?

"Master Wang, are you sure?"

Ye Tianjun hastily asked.

If this is indeed the case, then the repercussions could be quite severe.

Just a few months ago, when Ling Chen was only at the fifth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm, he was able to slay his son who was at the seventh layer!

"Sect Master Ye, it was witnessed by the disciple himself! The Spirit Art used by the murderer indeed exceeded the scope of King Spirit Technique, and moreover, before Huang Guardian died, he mentioned it was Emperor Spirit Technique."

"That disciple said."

"Not only him, but several others can also testify."

"How could this be?"

"Ye Tianjun also started to panic."

"If the murderer really is Ling Chen, then doesn’t that mean Ling Chen’s strength is already comparable to a three-star King from the World Realm?"

"He knew Ling Chen’s cultivation speed was extremely fast."

"The problem now is that they are completely unable to take down Star Pavilion, and have fallen into a deadlock!"

"If Ling Chen had a few more months, wouldn’t he be a threat to even him?"

"At this thought, Ye Tianjun shuddered."

"At that point, let alone avenging Ye Fentian, perhaps even the number one sect of the Eastern Domain would change hands!"

"Master Ye, I’d like to return to the sect!"

"Wang Hao said."

"After all, the sect has been his home for many years, and he has grown attached."

"Although with him, the sect leader present, the Divine Saber Sect wouldn’t be considered wiped out!"

"But, years and generations of sect leaders meticulously managing their stronghold, to see it wiped out in one fell swoop, ultimately hurts."

"Both of you return for a while!"

"Ye Tianjun nodded."

"This is natural human sentiment; if not allowed, it would likely affect morale."

"In that case, I’ll send the first and second guardians of the Burning Flame Sect with you! If you encounter the murderer, you can kill him on the spot!"

"Ye Tianjun continued."

"Thank you, Master Ye!"

"Both sect leaders gave a slight bow."

"These two guardians are warriors of the same caliber as them."

"Two three-star late-stage Kings in the Eastern Domain could practically roam unchallenged!"

"Activate the Sect Protection Array!"

"Upon hearing this news, other sect leaders from the seven major sects immediately contacted their people guarding the sects."

"Even the Burning Flame Sect was no exception!"

"Having heard that two major sects guarded by Kings had been overrun, they obviously couldn’t be careless!"

"Ye Tianjun convened the Kings once again."

"My lords, you all are presumably aware of the situation."

"Ye Tianjun started."

"Master Ye, we want to know, who exactly is responsible?"

"A sect leader asked."

"They were risking their lives for the Burning Flame Sect, yet their stronghold was in danger of being overrun."

"The one attacking the Fierce Sun Sect was Shen Xing, the bearer of the Star Divine Body! As for who attacked the Divine Saber Sect, we are still uncertain."

"Ye Tianjun explained."

"It’s safe to speak of Shen Xing."

"His strength is there for all to see."

"But, Ling Chen can’t be mentioned."

"His strength is terrifying; a mere King able to slay Kings, and even a two-star King at that, if revealed would easily disturb morale!"

"Shen Xing, he shouldn’t have been inside Star Pavilion, how could he have gone to the Fierce Sun Sect?"

"Someone asked."

"Ye Tianjun glanced at the man and said, "Shen Xing, with strength comparable to a three-star late-stage powerhouse, do you think the ones encircling Star Pavilion could have detected his presence?""

"So, Master Ye, what should we do now?"

"Someone asked."

"They had been here so long, unable to breach Star Pavilion’s Sect Protection Array, yet Shen Xing can threaten their sects."

"Surely they can’t just let Shen Xing run wild?"

"Other Kings also looked towards Ye Tianjun."

"For a moment, a sense of unease prevailed."

"I have my ways to handle it!"

"Ye Tianjun declared."

"First, I have already dispatched four three-star late-stage Kings to pursue the two murderers."

"Second, I will have someone set up a Spirit Array ten miles away. As soon as someone steps into it, I will be alerted. Shen Xing, being from Star Pavilion, will surely return here. The other person, though uncertain, should also be from Star Pavilion."

"Third, I have sent for the Heavenly Destiny Master from the Heavenly Destiny Sect! With the Heavenly Destiny Master here, these two individuals’ whereabouts can definitely be traced!"

"So, please, everyone, stay calm. I didn’t anticipate this move from Star Pavilion, but since they dared send these two, their deaths are certain!"
