Chapter 250: The Might of the Peak Sage: I Decide What Counts!
“Ahhh…”
The wretched screams echoed throughout the hall, shocking everyone present.
Before their eyes, the Sage of the Heavenly Fire Clan, who had once looked down on everything from a lofty position, was now like a plaything in the hands of a mysterious figure!
“Who dares to attack my Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground!”
The other two Sages roared, launching a joint attack.
“Overestimating yourselves!”
Amidst a melodious voice laced with anger, a jade-like hand trembled gently, sending the attackers spitting blood as they were knocked back.
“This…”
Seeing this scene, nearly everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
“Hehehe…”
Only You Jingfeng laughed happily. The female demoness had finally arrived; the Li Family and the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground were in big trouble!
“What are you laughing at? Like a night owl, just hearing it makes me want to vomit!”
With these words, You Jingfeng immediately stopped laughing.
In front of this person, he was just a small child.
“Crack!”
The space tore open, revealing a white-clothed celestial maiden stepping out. Her snowy hair danced in the air, her tall figure adorned in wide-sleeved robes that billowed loudly, exuding a breathtaking beauty intertwined with an overwhelming aura!
“Who are you?”
The experts from the Li Family and the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground trembled. Faced with this person, they found themselves lacking the courage to resist.
In the entire Central Continent, there were only five Peak Sages, who were like dragons that were rarely seen; they existed only in legends.
Thus, they did not recognize the Ancestral Master, only knowing that she was an Advanced Sage.
“Ancestral Master?”
The Little Demoness tentatively asked, immediately performing the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill to reveal her identity.
“Good girl, you’ve actually reached the fifth layer of the Celestial Speech, much better than those useless things!”
This exchange directly highlighted the relationship between the two parties.
The members of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground and the Li Family looked at the Little Demoness as if they had seen a ghost.
This woman truly had connections behind her!
Why didn’t she say so earlier?
And the Celestial Master Clan was also culpable; having secured such a powerful ally, why didn’t they reveal it sooner? Would they have dared to act so arrogantly otherwise?
This truly caused them great suffering!
“It’s a misunderstanding; this must be a misunderstanding!”
The Sage who was caught spat blood and hurriedly argued.
“It’s not a misunderstanding. I’ve been watching from the side, which is why I made my move. You are indeed deserving of death!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the opposing party was filled with dread, but upon recalling his identity, he regained some assertiveness.
“So what? I am a Sage of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground. Even if you are an Advanced Sage, you must give the Sacred Ground some face. One should know to leave room for negotiation, for a day…”
“For what? To end up at your grave!”
The Ancestral Master had a violent temper; any talk of backing down for peace was nonsense!
Revenge must be exacted on the spot, and what was the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground? It was nothing compared to a single hair of her precious former disciple!
“Let it be known that I helped you give birth well; consider it your fortune!”
With that, the Ancestral Master moved her hands like grindstones, unleashing supreme magic to directly obliterate that Sage, ensuring not even a trace of his soul escaped, nor did the Heavenly Dao’s notification appear!
This could only indicate one terrifying truth.
The number of Sages this person had slain was incalculable, reaching a level where even the Heavenly Dao had become numb.
This sent chills down the spines of all present!
“You… you dare to kill him? We are the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground…”
The remaining two Sages turned pale, never having felt such fear as they did now.
“Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground? Well, you lot actually dared to bully my grandmother! Today, let me show you my capabilities!”
Without another word, the Ancestral Master tore apart space, reaching a hand inside!
…
Within the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground, the news of the Sage’s death fell like a shooting star, crashing down upon everyone’s heads!
“Who is so bold?”
The Sacred Ground’s Sage leader’s eyes nearly split with rage; they had just become a Sacred Ground!
Now, losing a Sage was akin to bleeding out.
“What do we do? The Virgin Saint worked hard to find the Vermilion Bird Pool, helping the Heavenly Fire Sect become a Sacred Ground, and now this has happened. How can I face the Virgin Saint!”
“Sage Leader, we must seek revenge!”
“Did you really need to say that?”
The Sage Leader took a long breath, his expression sharp, filled with an oppressive might.
“Find out how that Sage died!”
“Reporting to the Sage Leader, that exalted being had recently received a distress signal from the Li Family, and thus, together with two other Sages, went to the Celestial Master Clan. Shortly thereafter, he perished!”
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
The Holy King roared with fury: “A mere Celestial Master Clan, what gall do they have to attack our people? Besides, do they even have that strength?”
“You may not know this, but it is said that not long ago, two Sages joined the Celestial Master Clan, one of whom is the Sword Saint!”
Huh?!
“Well, that’s not surprising!”
The Sage Lord nodded, his fury intensifying.
“They’ve gotten a bit too arrogant. Since that’s the case, let’s send troops to crush the Celestial Master Clan!”
“Understood!”
In the blink of an eye, counting the Sage Leader, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground had gathered six Sages.
Aside from the Virgin Saint being held back outside, this was the strongest force they could muster.
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!!
With a thunderous sound, the space of the Sacred Ground began to tremble!
“Someone is tearing apart the spatial rift!”
“Truly overestimating themselves! The space of the Sacred Ground is immensely stable; even a Sage…”
Before he could finish speaking, the space suddenly tore open, revealing a slender, snow-white jade hand reaching out, grabbing the Sage Leader by the neck.
“Come here!”
In the next moment, amidst the terrified looks of everyone, the Sage Leader was dragged into the rift without resistance.
…
In the Celestial Master Clan, the conference hall!
“What tricks are you playing?”
The Sacred Ground Sage gritted his teeth and said, “You killed our people; this matter is not over!”
“Not over, huh? You think you have a say in this?”
The other side’s face instantly turned ashen.
“Understand this: Only what I say counts!”
In the next moment, the Ancestral Master threw out a figure, slamming them heavily onto the ground.
The immensely solid floor shattered into powder upon impact.
“Who is it!!”
Everyone grew alert, and as they recognized the other’s face, the two Sages from the Sacred Ground seemed struck by lightning, instantly breaking into a cold sweat.
Wasn’t this their Sage Leader?
To know that the Sacred Ground was at least three thousand miles away from here, yet this woman had merely reached out and captured a Sage level expert.
Wasn’t this the legendary “Close at Hand Across Thousand Miles” technique? Only a Peak Sage possessed the ability to wield it!
Upon this realization, their expressions cleared.
Such a powerful figure, the Sacred Ground truly couldn’t afford to provoke!
“Who dares to ambush our Sage Leader!”
The Heavenly Fire Sage Leader sprang up, but when he saw the Ancestral Master, profound fear suddenly filled his eyes, and he slowly knelt down.
“Greetings… Ancestor…”
Seeing this scene, the couple from the Li Family was hit like a thunderbolt, nearly fainting.
It was over; they had kicked an iron board!
