Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses-Chapter 622 - 589: Unbridled Arrogance, Distorting Black and White (Combined - )
The dazzling cyan light crossed the sky like a long rainbow.
In the blink of an eye, it flew swiftly from Cyan Wolf Ridge to the gates of the Corpse-Driving Sect, watched by all humans and demons.
"Taiyi Sect’s Sword Elder, Hua Baiyu requests an audience!"
The formidable voice pierced through the blurry, semi-transparent protective barrier as if resonating beside every cultivator within the sect.
Many cultivators of the Corpse-Driving Sect, whether practicing inside their rooms or discussing Dao with fellow disciples outside, or walking along the roads, heard Hua Baiyu’s voice clearly and couldn’t help but show expressions of shock.
"What is this menace here for?" In Borrowed Peak, an elder with a Fake Pill expressed his suspicions.
"Letting him in is like letting a tiger into the house, life and death would be out of our control." Another Fake Pill elder lamented, his face looking grim.
Hua Baiyu’s strength was too overwhelming, single-handedly making Cyan Wolf Ridge bow its head.
And this time, he came with such might, possibly not with good intentions; if he acted after entering the sect gate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, the high-ranking members of the Corpse-Driving Sect hesitated, not knowing what decision to make.
"Taiyi Sect’s Sword Elder, Hua Baiyu requests an audience!"
The second, even more majestic and expansive voice struck the protective barrier, causing visible ripples, resonating throughout the sect.
This time the sound carried a hint of the Golden Core’s authority, akin to thunder roaring, waves crashing upon the shore.
Clouds billowed atop the thirteen peaks of the sect, reverberating through the mountains, shaking the range, with numerous rocks falling ’swish swish swish’.
’Pfff!’
In an instant, many cultivators who hadn’t ended their secluded cultivation were disrupted by this sound, spilling a mouthful of blood, their faces pale and their breaths chaotic.
’This guy definitely comes with ill intentions!’
The thought arose in everyone’s mind.
They were also shocked by the Taiyi Sect’s Golden Core prowess.
Just releasing a small amount of aura resulted in such a significant impact.
If he struck with full force, the Corpse-Driving Sect’s protective barrier might not last long.
"Master Hua’s presence in our sect is truly a great honor."
As an elderly yet soothing voice sounded, the Corpse-Driving Sect’s protective barrier slowly dissipated.
At the same time, a rich white light flew from Forgetful Peak, arriving before Hua Baiyu.
In the air, it gathered into the image of a white-robed elder, precisely the Corpse-Driving Sect’s sole Golden Core, Supreme Elder, known as Master Cang Yu.
"Master Hua, please enter the sect gate and take the honored seat." Master Cang Yu extended an invitation.
However, Hua Baiyu didn’t enter the sect immediately. He looked at him firmly, then suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Concealing one’s true face; can’t bear to show it?
Or is this the Corpse-Driving Sect’s way of receiving guests?"
Everyone turned to Master Cang Yu.
They noticed he was enveloped in hazy white light, his features somewhat blurred and unclear.
But in the cultivation realm, not presenting one’s true face is generally considered quite ordinary.
Hua Baiyu pointing this out evidently came with discontent, intending to cause trouble.
"That Taiyi Sect figure definitely came to provoke." Several Golden Core Masters from Red Sun Sect, True Blood Sect, and Qingluan Palace, observing the situation in the Corpse-Driving Sect exclaimed.
Although the Corpse-Driving Sect was their ally sect, they had no intention to intervene; the Taiyi Sect’s might was simply terrifying, fearing to get entangled themselves.
"Taiyi Sect is truly overbearing, even wanting to meddle in others concealing their true appearance?" An elder from a cultivation family in the East Sea murmured discontentedly.
All Corpse-Driving Sect members, including Lou Yi, who just hurried back to the sect, felt a sinking sense in their hearts.
Even a fool could see Hua Baiyu’s intentional targeting.
"Alas, Master Hua, forgive me, it was my negligence."
Master Cang Yu sighed deeply, then promptly removed all concealment, revealing his true appearance.
Seeing his revealed looks, everyone’s faces changed, stirring up waves of shock in their hearts.
Master Cang Yu outwardly appeared as an elder in a gray Daoist robe, with white hair, a short and thin stature, exuding thick, decrepit aura.
Most notably, his face was covered with dense black age spots, seeming ready to collapse at any moment.
Usually, age spots aren’t possible on Qi cultivators, not to mention the divine skill-wielding Golden Core Masters, unless...
"Oh, so your lifespan is nearing its end, looks like you have only seven or eight years left." Hua Baiyu mentioned indifferently, pointing out the reason for Master Cang Yu’s hidden appearance.
At the same time, he unabashedly announced the Corpse-Driving Sect’s long-hidden secret information about Master Cang Yu’s remaining lifespan to the world.
Letting neighboring forces, be they human or demon, hear it.
As such, the weakness of the Corpse-Driving Sect thoroughly exposed to the world’s eyes.
Seven or eight years later, without a Golden Core to oversee, what will happen?
"Damn it, the Supreme Elder kept it hidden for so long, but this guy easily exposed it!"
"If I could defeat him, I’d surely teach him a good lesson!"
"This person is utterly despicable..."
Many high-ranking cultivators of the Corpse-Driving Sect were fuming with anger.
But they didn’t dare to speak out, fearing Hua Baiyu’s hearing, merely cursing silently in their hearts.
The Supreme Elder of the Corpse-Driving Sect, Master Cang Yu, also showed a trace of helplessness on his face, repeating: "Master Hua, please."
Hua Baiyu arrogantly nodded and stepped forward, disappearing from his original position.
In the next moment, he appeared in the luxurious palace of the Sect Leader Peak, with the incense burner’s cyan smoke curling, overhead a fist-sized bright pearl glowing.
