Chapter 393: Ancestral Master Unmatched!
“Big Brother, help!”
The voice of the Second Deacon was filled with an unmistakable fear.
After traversing the world for so many years, he had never felt this helpless before. It was only today that he realized what true strength meant!
“Stop!”
Before his voice had faded, a figure appeared as if to shatter heaven and earth, transcending time itself.
Xuan Qiubai finally made his move; he hadn’t been idle before, but the speed of the Ancestral Master was so fast that he didn’t even have time to react.
“Hmph!”
Seeing this scene, the Ancestral Master merely sneered, turning a flick of her wrist into a grab, constraining the throat of the Second Deacon and lifting him up completely.
With her other hand, she gently waved, sending out a shockwave to clash with Xuan Qiubai’s fist.
“Boom!!”
The clash between the Peak Sage was earth-shattering. In the instant they touched, the surrounding space collapsed, and countless living beings bowed down as if disaster was upon them.
This power was enough to slay all living beings within a thousand-mile radius!
“Submit!”
Suddenly, the Ancestral Master brought her fingers together and lightly pointed at the void. The terrifying ripples disappeared in an instant, causing Xuan Qiubai to involuntarily furrow his brow as he solemnly assessed the opponent before him.
Just a moment ago, the Ancestral Master had one hand grasping the Second Deacon while using the other to defend and simultaneously extinguishing the aftermath of their confrontation.
Multi-tasking, effortlessly.
Even though Xuan Qiubai was very confident in himself, he had to admit that he could never accomplish such a feat.
It appeared that there were indeed disparities among Peak Sages.
“Uh… Big Brother, save me! I feel like I can’t breathe!”
The Second Deacon struggled desperately. At his level, going without air for three to five days was nothing, yet now he was feeling suffocated, indicating that his situation was dire.
“Let him go!”
Xuan Qiubai spoke coldly.
“Even if the Celestial King came, he wouldn’t have the right to give me orders!”
The Ancestral Master replied indifferently, “Dare to command me, and I’ll make sure you get nothing.”
“Crack, crack…”
The sound of the Second Deacon’s neck nearing fracture came through bit by bit, filling him with terror.
“Let me go, I know I was wrong…”
“Just an ant. What if you admit your mistakes? What if you refuse to repent!”
The Ancestral Master sneered, killing both body and spirit, reducing his dignity to nothing.
Only now did he understand that in front of the Ancestral Master, he was truly just an insignificant worm.
“Do you want to start a war between the Profound Sky Hall and the Joyful Union Sect?”
Xuan Qiubai’s voice rose and fell, clearly anxious. He had heard of how troublesome the Ancestral Master was but hadn’t taken it seriously until now; indeed, he was experiencing the consequences!
“Want to start a war? Fine! Whoever regrets it is a grandson. Let’s see if I can wipe you out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, red lightning surged from the Ancestral Master, and in an instant, wind and thunder erupted, filling the heavens and earth with a murderous atmosphere.
“I vow by the Heavenly Dao that as of today, we officially declare war against the Profound Sky Hall! Let heaven be my witness, let the earth be my covenant, and we shall become irreconcilable foes!”
“Wait!!!”
Xuan Qiubai’s voice suddenly became incredibly urgent, his face turning pale.
Even as a Peak Sage, he was frightened at this moment, and genuinely so.
What he had said about starting a war was merely a bargaining chip, yet he did not expect that the other side would take it seriously!
The woman before him was not only an unparalleled genius but also a complete madwoman!
“Speak plainly, what do you really want?”
Xuan Qiubai’s tone softened. He hadn’t expected that even after reaching the pinnacle of the world, there was still someone who could make him feel this pressured.
“Not starting a war? I would like to see if the Joyful Union Sect can destroy you. Besides, I really do want to eat your feast!”
The Ancestral Master teased, causing Xuan Qiubai to feel ashamed. The words he had used to threaten others were turned back on him, and now he had to concede, which was akin to offering his face for a slap!
The most terrifying part was that listening to the other party’s tone, there seemed to be absolute confidence. He really didn’t dare to take risks lightly.
“This matter must not be raised again. If our two families go to war, it will be a loss for all humanity. You set a line!”
The Ancestral Master couldn’t help but laugh as she held up the Second Deacon and casually stated, “This person dared to be rude to me and speak insolently; I want to kill him!”
“No!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Xuan Qiubai refused. Not only was he the Second Deacon, but he was also the second strongest in the Profound Sky Hall. How could they just kill him? It would lead to significant losses!
“In that case, hand over the Nine Fragrance Heavenly Soul Orchid to me, to compensate for my little apprentice.”
Upon hearing this, the other side showed signs of difficulty.
That Nine Fragrance Heavenly Soul Orchid is a treasure of the world, a holy object for cultivating spiritual power, probably only one exists in the world, and it was collected by the Profound Sky Hall. Now that the Ancestral Master had demanded it, it was akin to cutting off their flesh.
“It seems you are still unwilling. If you refuse this and that, then let’s just part ways!”
Saying this, she increased the strength in her hand, intending to kill the Second Deacon immediately.
“Stop, I agree!”
The Ancestral Master’s lips curled slightly upward, having long anticipated that the other party would yield.
If at the beginning you told the people in the room that you wanted to open a window, they might oppose you, but if you said you wanted to tear down the ceiling, they would agree to open the window.
After all, most people are always creatures of compromise, and that will never change.
“Here you go!”
The Ancestral Master casually tossed the Second Deacon back as if discarding rubbish, an action that left the other party feeling humiliated.
This indicated that the Ancestral Master completely disregarded him and highlighted a terrifying fact: the other side was not afraid that Xuan Qiubai would go back on his word, showing confidence to release him so casually, believing she could capture him again!
Even with a Peak Sage by her side!
“I can give you the orchid, but there is one condition: you must make a Heavenly Dao pact with me, and we will no longer interfere in the struggles among the younger generations.”
The Grand Deacon took a deep breath, wanting to secure the greatest benefit for the Profound Sky Hall.
“It seems you are still not convinced and want the young ones of the Profound Sky Hall to reclaim their dignity, but this condition is not equal and must be revised.”
The Ancestral Master replied starkly: “I can step back, but my requirement is that the entire Deacon Hall must not interfere!”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Xuan Qiubai drew in a deep breath.
“Do you really think that one of you can match the entire Deacon Hall?”
“If you don’t believe it, you can try. I allow you to call for help immediately. Whether it’s nine old guys from the Deacon Hall fighting me in shifts or all at once, let’s see if you can bring me down!”
Xuan Qiubai fell silent. For a moment, he really wanted to try. But reason told him he absolutely must not do that!
Not to mention whether he could truly defeat or kill the Ancestral Master; even if he won, what would it matter? The price they would pay would undoubtedly be catastrophic, with at least half of the entire Deacon Hall suffering losses. Even he would surely be left with lifelong serious injuries, which was not worth it!
“Fine, I accept your condition!”
After a brief hesitation, Xuan Qiubai ultimately agreed.
The reason was simple: even if the entire Deacon Hall withdrew, the remaining Profound Sky Hall could still crush the Li Family.
The advantage lies with them!
