The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 700 - 235: The Previous Taiqing Sect Leader Is Still Alive
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Xuanji suddenly accelerated his pace, attempting to escape.
But in the next moment, a suffocatingly powerful aura slowly spread from the mist ahead.
Zhou Qing, who had just caught up, instantly changed his expression, with alarms going off in his heart, suddenly recalling the terrifying scene where the two Mansion Masters were hunted down that day.
At this moment, Master Xuanji was also startled, subconsciously raising his head to look.
In front, an old man in black robes slowly walked out of the mist.
Every step he took seemed to fall upon the void, not making a single sound.
Yet the surrounding air, due to his appearance, rippled with strange waves.
The old man's face was gaunt, his skin like dry bark, his eyes deeply sunken, emitting a blood-red glow.
His body exuded a thick ghostly aura, and besides that, the blood-colored large knife he held constantly dripped with thick dark blood.
"Ghost Emperor!" Master Xuanji exclaimed in his heart.
But soon, when he saw the attire of the Ghost Emperor and that large knife, Master Xuanji suddenly thought of something, his face full of disbelief.
"Canglong Taoist? Impossible, how can you still be alive!"
Hearing Master Xuanji's scream, Zhou Qing was also stunned, his face turned horrified, as he immediately looked at the Ghost Emperor in front of him, especially his attire.
Canglong Taoist, the previous Sect Leader of the Taiqing Sect.
At the same time, he was also the mentor of their master.
Recalling the last portrait in the Ancestral Hall, the depicted clothing was almost identical to what the figure in front of them was wearing.
Wasn't he supposed to have failed to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection and sat down transforming due to lack of lifespan?
How could he appear in the first coffin and become a Spirit Severing Realm Demon Emperor?
Zhou Qing only felt his heart pounding intensely.
It was excitement, fear, and the dread of the unknown.
At this moment, that Ghost Emperor, surrounded by ghostly aura burning like black flames, did not respond to Master Xuanji's screams.
He simply raised his hand slowly, withered fingers giving a light wave.
And the surrounding dozen or so Divinity Transformation Realm Wandering Souls that had surrounded them again retreated to the side as if they had seen an emperor, standing respectfully with eyes full of awe.
Master Xuanji trembled all over, in panic, hurriedly pulled out the Phecda Sword of his sect, gripping the hilt tightly with both hands, his voice filled with pleading.
"Uncle Master Canglong, it's me. Didn't my master Qiansuan Zhenren bring me to visit you many times, this Phecda Sword is made with Taiqing Sect's treasured minerals..."
Whish!
Before Master Xuanji could finish, the Ghost Emperor instantly appeared before him, moving so fast that Master Xuanji didn't have time to react at all.
The large hand like withered wood grabbed Master Xuanji's head.
In an instant, Master Xuanji felt his entire body being tightly restrained, and a piercing pain came from his scalp.
"No—"
Master Xuanji screamed in despair, struggling desperately, trying to escape the Ghost Emperor's control.
But someone with not very strong combat power in the late-stage Divinity Transformation was like an ant shaking a tree in front of a Spirit Severing Realm being, utterly ineffective.
As a surge of black flames emerged from the Ghost Emperor's palm, enveloping Master Xuanji completely.
Master Xuanji immediately let out continuous, miserable cries.
His entire body's essence blood, as if drawn by an invisible giant hand, surged crazily into the Ghost Emperor's five fingers.
In the blink of an eye, Master Xuanji's body rapidly withered, his skin beginning to sag.
The once spirited eyes also gradually lost their luster, becoming hollow and lifeless.
In just a moment, he became a dried corpse, casually tossed aside by the Ghost Emperor, landing not far away.
Kicking up a small patch of dust, becoming another insignificant remnant in this place.
Zhou Qing, who had witnessed the whole scene, only felt his throat intensely dry, unable to resist swallowing, not even realizing when the Ghost Emperor left.
Even the Sect Leader, who did not fall during the Battle of the Five Sects, now died so miserably here.
It took him quite a while to come to his senses, stepping to Master Xuanji's side, looking at the notation above his head of the [Threat that must be eliminated early], bit by bit breaking apart until it disappeared.
