Chapter 779 Mysterious Origin
boom! !

A deafening roar erupted, followed by a shockwave carrying lightning that extinguished the campfire instantly and snapped branches from nearby trees.

The Left Protector looked down at him, his eyes slightly narrowed and his brows slightly furrowed.

"To actually block my Storm Hammer, you truly deserve to be called the Divine Beggar of the Nine Provinces!"

At this moment, Ashina sat blankly on the ground, with the Divine Beggar of the Nine Provinces standing in front of her, raising one hand with his five fingers spread out, like a shield.

"Why..." Ashina shook her head in disbelief, then gritted her teeth and shouted, "Left Protector, how dare you attack our Holy Maiden? Are you going to betray the Six Paths Sect and its leader?!"

"Holy Maiden? Heh..." The Left Protector smiled slightly: "It wasn't me who was betrayed by the Six Paths Sect, but you, the Holy Maiden."

“You disobeyed the sect leader’s orders, went down the mountain without permission, and even colluded with the Yuhua sect in the Central Plains. Isn’t that a betrayal of our sect?”

"Don't make false accusations!" Ahina retorted, "I was kidnapped by him, not willingly..."

"Then what crime should you be punished for going down the mountain without permission?" the Left Protector sneered.

"Even if I'm wrong, it should be the cult leader who punishes me!" Ashina gritted her teeth and said, "If you kill me, aren't you afraid of being punished by the cult leader!"

The Left Protector chuckled: "How do you know that killing you wouldn't be the leader's intention?"

"What did you say?" Ashina's eyes widened. "You're talking nonsense, that's impossible, Grandpa couldn't have..."

"Shut up!" the Left Protector shouted. "The leader is the leader, he is not anyone's parent, much less your grandfather!"

The Left Protector's words completely stunned Ahina. She sat there dumbfounded, muttering, "The leader...it's the leader..."

"Hmm?" The Left Protector suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at the old beggar in front of Ashina halfway through his sentence: "What are you doing?"

The old beggar took out a small bottle, opened the cap, and took a small sip.

"It's nothing... Let's have a little wine before we start fighting." The Beggar of Kyushu chuckled and put away the bottle: "Come on, since you've also ascended to immortality, come and experience this old beggar's Dragon Subduing Palm!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from him, causing the Left Protector's eyebrows to twitch: "This is..."

Before he could react, the Divine Beggar of the Nine Provinces soared into the air, drawing a sharp zigzag line as he shot straight toward the Left Protector.

Upon seeing this, the Left Protector's aura suddenly surged, and streaks of lightning crackled around his body, forming a massive lightning shield in front of him.

boom!
The powerful impact triggered a massive explosion, a hundred times more powerful than the previous hammer strike. The shockwave swept outwards, uprooting nearby trees and instantly carbonizing the trunks and branches within a hundred-meter radius under the influence of lightning!

"Ok?"

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, the Sword Saint stood atop a mountain and suddenly looked westward.

"Two Ascended beings clashed? One of their auras was present when Brother Qi stormed the Six Paths Sect's headquarters... The other one seems to be the old beggar?" The Sword Saint frowned. "There were also some other auras mixed in..."

"That old beggar really loves causing trouble." Beyond the East Sea, Dragon Mother Ao Zhen sneered, "The Six Paths Sect isn't someone to be trifled with..."

"The Beggar God has gone to the main altar too? This isn't like him..." A somewhat weak voice came from the Heavenly Gate's secluded cultivation room: "But this opponent is not as simple as you think!"

"Leto has been fighting someone?" A calm voice came from the temporary headquarters of the Six Paths Sect: "The opponent's style should be that of the Nine Provinces Beggar."

"It seems we guessed right, the Holy Maiden has indeed been captured by the Beggar God." Another, younger-sounding voice said, "Master, are you really going to make a move? I think the Holy Maiden is still somewhat useful; such talent truly deserves to be called a once-in-a-century talent."

“But her very existence is an unstable factor.” The steady voice gritted its teeth and said, “I’m increasingly losing control of him…”

…………

In an instant, all the Ascended beings throughout the martial world became aware of the battle between the Divine Beggar and the Left Protector Leto. But the one who felt the power of the two Ascended beings most deeply and directly was naturally Ashina, who was right next to them.

"This is... the power of ascension?"

Asina murmured, watching the two constantly clashing in the air.

Although she had met three Ascension cultivators in the Six Paths Sect and had sparred with them, both the sect leader and the left and right protectors treated her with the same care as if she were a child. Therefore, it can be said that Ashina had never truly experienced the power of Ascension!

Even when he encountered the Beggar God before, he was subdued in one move, and it can't be said that he used his full strength!
This time, the two figures ascended to heaven in the sky, like two supernovae exploding in the night sky, so dazzling, brilliant, and splendid!

No... In comparison, one of them is much more dazzling and overwhelms the other in terms of sheer presence!
It's the Left Protector, Leto!

His aura continued to rise, and the lightning crackling around his body almost illuminated the entire night sky. In contrast, the beggar opposite him was actually weaker. If this continued, it probably wouldn't be long before the beggar was defeated...

As she watched the protectors of the Six Paths Sect overpower the Divine Beggar of the Central Plains, Ashina felt a mix of emotions.

In the past, she would have unconditionally supported her fellow believer, but now, the scene of Leto attacking her was still vivid in her mind, as were his words about the leader…

All of this made him feel like a stranger to Mahado, who was both the religious leader and his father.

For the first time since the founding of the Six Paths Sect, Ahina's faith has been shaken...

She was raised by Mahado from a young age. In the eyes of others, he might be the leader of the religion or a messenger of God, but in her eyes, the leader of the religion was her father and the Six Paths Sect was her home!

Now, this elder in the family, second only to her father in status, is telling her that this family can no longer accept her, and that even her father wants to kill her. How can Ashina accept this?

"No... I don't believe it!" Ashina gritted her teeth: "I don't believe my grandfather would do this to me! Old beggar, if you can defeat him, I can take you to the main altar. Then you can fight whoever you want, and know whatever you want, as long as you can kill this guy!"

Ashina's voice was drowned out by the battle sounds of the two ascended beings. The divine beggar in the air was not as she had hoped. Not only did he have no chance of winning, but his momentum was also getting weaker and weaker until he was completely obscured by the dazzling aura of the approaching beings, and he could hardly be felt at all.

"The Beggar God actually lost..." Zuo Taixuan, a thousand miles away, frowned deeply: "The Six Paths Sect is truly terrifying!" "The Beggar God lost just like me?" The Lord of the Heavenly Gate coughed lightly: "His aura is so weak that it's almost undetectable, could it be..."

"Is the battle going to be decided so soon?" Guan Tianfeng stroked his long beard. "Is the demon of the Six Paths Sect really that formidable?"

Among the many Feathered Realm cultivators, the process of the two Feathered Realm cultivators fighting was characterized by one's momentum surging while the other's momentum continuously plummeted. Although this process was somewhat rapid, it perfectly matched the typical pattern of Feathered Realm battles.

But there was one person whose experience was completely different from the others who had ascended to immortality.

That's Jared Leto himself!
He was indeed constantly raising his morale and increasing his effort, not because he was close to winning. On the contrary, the reason he kept getting stronger was because of the ever-increasing pressure!

That's right, this old beggar in front of us is simply outrageous. We can't see any internal energy from him, and his aura is even weakening, but he just gets stronger and harder to fight the more we fight him!
"You...you're not from the martial arts world, are you?"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the old beggar grabbed Leto's hands and suddenly asked with a ferocious expression.

"What do you mean?" Leto was still a little confused.

The old beggar chuckled and said, "Your ability is unique. It's based on martial arts, supplemented by elemental and creative skills. These three filmmaking abilities complement each other. This is technology from another world!"

"What did you say?" Leto realized the implication behind the other's words and immediately retorted, "So you're not..."

"Hehe, it's almost time..." The powerful cyclone blew away the old beggar's headscarf, revealing a bloody hole on his forehead.

"My aura should have almost completely dissipated by now. If you don't stop now, it will arouse suspicion."

As he spoke, the old beggar suddenly increased the force in his hands. The terrifying power was so great that even the Qi of the Feather Transformation level could not withstand it. With a crack, Lai Tuo's hands were actually crushed!

"Aaaaaahhhhh..." Leto screamed in agony, and then the old beggar's face filled his vision, more terrifying than the most horrifying ghost face.

"Don't come any closer!" Leto roared, then channeled all his inner energy, determined to fight back even at the cost of mutual destruction!

Sensing the change in the other party's aura, the old beggar suddenly hugged Leto, pushed off with his horns, and soared into the sky. Then, with a loud boom, a huge bolt of lightning exploded in the night sky, illuminating the area east of Xiyong Mountain as if it were daytime. It took a long time for the light to subside.

"What happened? Who won?" Ahina looked up at the sky nervously. Just after the explosion, Leto's presence disappeared, and she didn't know the final result.

After a while, a figure fell from the sky and landed right in front of Ahina with a thud.

The figure was charred black all over, but from his figure and clothing, it could be vaguely identified as the Divine Beggar of the Nine Provinces!

However, the beggar god is now lifeless and is clearly dead.

"The Beggar God is dead... What about Leto?" Ahina looked around in a panic. After a short while, she suddenly saw another figure slowly descending. It was Leto!

"You're still alive!" Ashina's eyes widened, her face filled with terror.

"Go away, and don't come back." Somewhat unexpectedly, Leto didn't kill Ahina this time.

"You're willing to let me go?" Ahina looked at Leto suspiciously. "Didn't you just try to kill me?"

"Whether you live or die is entirely up to me." Leto sneered. "I'm in a good mood today because I killed this old beggar, so I'll let you go. But if you ever return to the Six Paths Sect, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Remember, the cult leader is no longer the one you know. When I decide to kill you, no one can stop me!"

As he uttered this threat, Leto released a terrifying burst of mental energy, which flowed directly into Ahina's mind through his eyes. This usually bold and willful girl inexplicably shivered, feeling a chill run down her spine from the inside out, making her instinctively want to escape from here, to escape the Six Paths Cult where she grew up...

After watching Asiya leave, the "Nine Provinces Beggar" on the ground suddenly opened her eyes, nimbly got up, and as she got up, her figure changed. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from an old beggar covered in charred soot into an elegant and noble exotic beauty.

"Master, shouldn't we kill her too?" Ashlia approached Leto and asked respectfully.

“Right now, only a few Ascended cultivators have sensed the death of the Divine Beggar, and they may not even be able to determine whether the Divine Beggar is truly dead or merely defeated,” Leto replied. Although he wore the face of the Left Protector, his tone and demeanor were exactly the same as Luo Jun’s.

"If we release this girl, we'll have another witness, which will confirm that the Beggar God was killed by the Six Paths Sect!"

Indeed, according to the perceptions of many ascension-level beings, the Beggar God's aura disappeared after the battle with the Elder Protector of the Six Paths Sect. He might have been killed, but he could also have escaped and gone into hiding. Moreover, the perception of his aura is only corroborating evidence; the girl's testimony can more accurately prove the Beggar God's whereabouts and clear the Hundred Patch Sect of suspicion.

As he spoke, Luo Jun flipped his hand and took out a small bottle, which was the Ascension Essence Collection Bottle that the God of Wealth had given him earlier.

"This Left Protector is quite powerful. He was able to drink three-fifths of what I drank."

As a sage, Luo Jun couldn't release his ascension aura in a way that would be detected by other ascension beings. However, he happened to possess the ascension essence of the Divine Beggar. Drinking a sip of this essence would temporarily boost the power of any ascension being, and for Luo Jun, it would also temporarily allow him to release the aura of the essence's owner. It was through this ability that he was able to deceive the numerous ascension beings in the martial world, simulating that the Divine Beggar was still alive.

“That way, if we collect two more, that will be just enough.” Luo Jun shook the bottle and turned to look at Xiyong Mountain: “There are two there.”

"Does Master intend to march on their home base?" Ashlia asked. "I am willing to lend Master a hand."

"No rush." ​​Luo Jun put away the essence collection bottle and took out another bottle: "These guys have some issues. I want to report the situation first."

As he spoke, he pulled out the cork from the bottle and took out the note inside.

That's right, this is a message in a bottle, which can send letters regardless of distance or world barriers.

Luo Jun wrote down the current situation on the parchment, including that he had already killed one of the protectors of the Six Paths Sect. What he emphasized was that this protector was not a native of the martial arts world!

If they are not from the martial arts world, then the most likely candidate is a corruptor. However, Luo Jun felt that this matter was not so simple. Moreover, according to Ashina's memories, the two guardians seemed to appear out of thin air. How could two ascension masters hide in the martial arts world, where there are so many ascension masters?

Clearly, the situation of the Six Paths Sect is far more complicated than the Yuan Cultivation Society imagined!
