Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 558 You dare insult my lord? You're asking for death!

The Royal Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Mo Jingtian was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when he suddenly sensed two powerful auras descending from the sky.

He looked up and saw two beautiful figures already standing in front of the hall.

The woman at the head of the group was dressed in a white dress and a veil, her face veiled, as aloof as a fairy under the moon. She was none other than Ling Qingzhu.

Beside her was a girl in colorful clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with exquisite features, beautiful eyebrows and a pair of bright and lively eyes.

"Young...Young Palace Master?!"

Mo Jingtian quickly got up and hurried out to greet him, feeling both surprised and delighted.

To everyone's surprise, Ling Qingzhu suddenly arrived; to everyone's delight, the young master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace had finally come to the Great Yan Dynasty again.

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly and went straight to the point: "King Yan, do you know Senior Xiao Bai?"

Mo Jingtian was taken aback, then smiled bitterly: "Young Palace Master, you've come at an inopportune time. Mr. Xiao—has already left the Great Yan Dynasty."

"You left?"

Ling Qingzhu frowned slightly: "Where did you go?"

"Ancient Battlefield"

Mo Jingtian answered truthfully: "Mr. Xiao participated in the Hundred Dynasties War several months ago and entered the ancient battlefield through the teleportation array of Holy War Mountain."

Upon hearing this, both Ling Qingzhu and Xiao Hong were taken aback.

Ancient battlefield?

The Great War of a Hundred Dynasties?

Wouldn't that be—a trial for the eight super sects to select their disciples?

A complex and indescribable emotion welled up in Ling Qingzhu's heart.

Back when she was at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, she personally invited Xiao Bai to join the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, but he flatly refused.

Who knows————

He turned around and ran off to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War, accepting the selection of the eight super sects.

Does he look down on the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?

Or is it that—

Has he set his sights on another sect?

Ling Qingzhu's red lips, hidden beneath her veil, pursed slightly, and a rare hint of resentment flashed in her usually aloof eyes.

"Sister Qingzhu, shall we go to the ancient battlefield to find him?"

Xiao Hong turned her head, her bright eyes pleading, and her voice soft and sweet: "I finally got out, I don't want to go back like this—"

Having spent over a year in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, she naturally knew what the ancient battlefield was.

That was the training ground for the Hundred Dynasties War, a space jointly controlled by the eight super sects, accessible only through a teleportation array.

But given Ling Qingzhu's status, getting in was naturally not a problem.

Ling Qingzhu blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded gently.

She really wanted to know which sect that person had chosen after rejecting the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

"King Yan, Qingzhu wishes to borrow the ancient teleportation array of the Great Yan royal family. I hope you will grant my request."

Ling Qingzhu spoke softly, her tone polite but carrying an air of undeniable authority.

"Young Master is too kind to me!"

Mo Jingtian was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "The teleportation array belongs to the major super sects. Our Great Yan royal family is merely guarding it on their behalf. How can it be a matter of consent or disapproval?"

He was secretly delighted.

When Ling Qingzhu first came to the Great Yan Dynasty, he naturally paid attention to her, given his intelligence capabilities.

Later, from the conversation between Xiao Bai and the old man in hemp clothing, he learned that this woman was actually the young master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace!

That's the future leader of a super sect!

For the Great Yan Dynasty, being able to form a good relationship with such a person is an incredible opportunity!

He was about to ask if there was anything he could help with when he looked up and saw—

There was no one in the air anymore.

Mo Jingtian stood there dumbfounded for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Sure enough, this kind of person didn't give him any chance to curry favor.

At the summit of Holy War Mountain.

The teleportation platform still stands silently, its runes flowing, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Ling Qingzhu stood in front of the array platform and took out a palm-sized token.

The token is light blue and crystal clear. The front is engraved with the two ancient seal characters "Taiqing" and the back is a blooming blue lotus.

Ling Qingzhu infused her Yuan Power into the token.

"Buzz—"

The token emitted a soft light, automatically flew up, and hovered above the teleportation array.

The light poured down like flowing water, flooding the array platform.

The runes on the platform began to light up one by one, spreading from the edges to the center, like a sleeping behemoth slowly awakening.

Space began to distort, and silvery-white light flickered continuously.

"Let's go."

Ling Qingzhu, holding Xiao Hong's hand, was about to step into the teleportation array.

However-

Just as she lifted her foot, Ling Qingzhu suddenly frowned and stopped.

"wrong----"

"Sister Qingzhu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Hong was overjoyed at the prospect of seeing Xiao Bai soon, but when she heard Ling Qingzhu's voice sound strange, her heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face froze.

"I can no longer sense the spatial coordinates of the ancient battlefield."

Ling Qingzhu's gaze turned serious. She tried to communicate with the teleportation array again, but found that the space on the other side seemed to be blocked by an invisible giant wall, and her consciousness could not penetrate it at all!

"It's like that place is under lockdown—"

She paused, then suddenly remembered something: "This token was given to me by my master. It's part of the spatial barrier of the ancient battlefield, and she was one of the main participants back then."

"Logically, the entire spatial barrier of the ancient battlefield is connected to the token, so nothing should have happened—"

Ling Qingzhu was completely baffled.

The spatial seal of the ancient battlefield was laid down by the eight sect leaders together, making it as solid as a rock.

Unless a powerful figure at the sect leader level intervenes, it is absolutely impossible for it to be blocked!

Could it be that...?

"Could it have been done by the master?"

Xiao Hong asked cautiously, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She subconsciously thought of Xiao Bai.

In her heart, Xiao Bai was omnipotent.

Locking down a space shouldn't be too difficult for the owner, right?

Ling Qingzhu's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she gently shook her head: "I don't know—"

Her senior's actions were always unpredictable and whimsical, something she couldn't fathom.

But for some reason, she felt a vague unease.

Meanwhile, on the ancient battlefield...

Baichaoshan.

"Damn it!"

Bai Qiu slammed his palm onto the golden light screen, but the screen remained unmoved. Instead, the impact made his arm go numb and his Yuan energy surge.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger and resentment.

Just now, the seven of them joined forces and attacked this damned seal with all their might!

However, no matter how they channeled their energy or what martial arts they used, the seal remained unmoved, without even the slightest crack appearing!

"Save your energy."

Outside the seal, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, a mocking smile on his face, as if watching a caged beast.

"If Liu Tong were still alive, it would be quite difficult for me to trap you all if the eight of you joined forces."

Zheng Zhong chuckled lightly, his gaze sweeping leisurely over the crowd: "But now—hehe."

That "hehe" was full of sarcasm.

"You bastard!"

The leader of the Wan Kui Sect slammed his fist into the light screen, producing a dull thud, but it didn't even cause a ripple.

"Zheng Zhong definitely let that black-robed youth go on purpose!"

Zheng Zhong smiled without saying a word, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

The black-robed youth killed Liu Tong as easily as killing a chicken, which startled Liu Tong greatly!

He thought the mission was going to fail.

Who knew the road would take such a dramatic turn—

After killing Liu Tong, the young man simply left!

Zheng Zhong was naturally delighted with this outcome and even welcomed it with open arms!

Suddenly, he frowned and turned his gaze to the other side of the battlefield.

There, disciples from the Western Xuan Region were engaged in a fierce battle with a young boy.

"waste!"

Zheng Zhong cursed angrily, "A Six-Element Nirvana Realm cultivator can't even defeat a Four-Element Nirvana Realm cultivator? This is a disgrace to the Western Xuan Region!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Western Xuan Region blushed deeply, feeling both ashamed and angry, yet utterly helpless.

Who knew this boy would be so extraordinary!

At the crucial moment of the battle, he actually broke through the enemy lines and survived three tribulations of wind and thunder in one go!

The lightning struck down, and they couldn't dodge it in time, almost getting burned to a crisp!

"Go and call Mo Tong to deal with him!"

Zheng Zhong shouted sharply.

"Yes! Yes!"

The disciples of the Western Xuan Region felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly began to transmit their messages.

Mo Tong, a powerful expert at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm!

As long as he makes a move, this young man is bound to lose!

However, just as the sound transmission was sent out, "Buzz—"

—

A vast and boundless pressure suddenly descended from the sky!

The oppressive force was like the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth, like stars falling, carrying an irresistible majesty, and instantly enveloped the entire Hundred Dynasty Mountain!

"This is----"

Zheng Zhong's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up!

Above Baichao Mountain, space seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and a golden light slowly emerged!

Amidst the light and shadow, a figure can be vaguely seen, standing with hands behind his back, looking down upon all living beings!

The moment the golden light appeared—

The Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram, which sealed off Hundred Dynasty Mountain and left the leaders of the seven major sects helpless, suddenly trembled!

"Click—click—"

A sickeningly sharp, shattering sound rang out from the center of the array!

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire array in the blink of an eye!

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram shattered!

"Oh----"

The golden light casually withdrew its palm, as if it had only done a trivial matter.

His gaze swept over Baichao Mountain, his eyes indifferent: "I thought those old guys from the Western Xuan Region were well-prepared, daring to join forces to block my Yuan Sect—"

He paused, a hint of disdain in his voice: "So there are only a few small insects here."

1

As soon as he finished speaking, the immense pressure surged once again!

Zheng Zhong felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to his knees!

He gritted his teeth, looked up at the golden figure, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The Third Sect Master of the Yuan Sect—you—you actually broke through to the Reincarnation Realm?!"

Zheng Zhong was shocked, and a terrible thought surfaced in his mind.

The Western Xuan Domain's plan is to take advantage of the eight super sects' unpreparedness, launch a surprise attack on the ancient battlefield, and seize control.

To this end, they prepared several experts at the Reincarnation Realm to specifically restrain the eight sect leaders.

But they never expected that Ren Yuanzi would actually break through!

And they came so quickly!

Zheng Zhong suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.

Liu Tong!

It's all because of Liu Tong!

As soon as Liu Tong died, the Yuan Sect would know immediately and investigate the cause of death.

It was discovered that the space of the ancient battlefield was sealed off!

Anyone would notice something was wrong.

"Walk!!!"

Zheng Zhong acted decisively, activating the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram without regard for the consequences!

He frantically formed hand seals, and a scroll that was pitch black yet gleaming with silver light emerged from the void—the very body of the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram!

The scroll unfurled, emitting a brilliant silver light, about to suck Zheng Zhong in and send him into the void!

"Walk?"

Ren Yuanzi scoffed, "If I were to let you escape before my very eyes, what face would I have left?"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"Buzz"

A giant golden hand, hundreds of feet in size, materialized out of thin air and descended from the sky, like the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha, grabbing the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram that was about to disappear into the void!

"Come back here!"

Ren Yuanzi clenched his five fingers.

The giant golden hand clenched tightly!

The Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram struggled violently in his hand, but like a flying insect trapped in a spider web, it could not break free no matter what.

"No!!!"

Zheng Zhong let out a desperate roar.

The giant golden hand trembled slightly.

Zheng Zhong's figure fell out of the scroll, landing awkwardly on the ground, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear.

"Did you kill Liu Tong?"

Ren Yuanzi spoke calmly, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

Zheng Zhong trembled violently, shaking his head hastily, his voice quivering: "No—no!"

"I didn't kill Deacon Liu! He—he died at the hands of a young boy!"

"juvenile?"

Ren Yuanzi's gaze turned cold, and his fingertips shone brightly as he pointed a finger at Zheng Zhong's brow!

"ah!!!"

Zheng Zhong let out a piercing scream, his whole body convulsed violently, and blood flowed from his seven orifices!

Soul search!

Forcibly read memories!

Liu Wei and the others' pupils shrank sharply, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes filled with apprehension.

The Yuan Clan is truly ruthless and acts without any restraint!

Ren Yuanzi closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before slowly opening them, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Good means----good weather----"

He saw the scene of Liu Tong's death.

The black-robed youth punched Liu Tong away, then used golden lightning to blast Liu Tong and his demonic energy into dust!

What stirred even more murderous intent in his heart was that the young man—he actually recognized the demonic energy!

The biggest secret of the Yuan Sect was thus exposed in front of everyone!

Liu Tong deserves to die!

That black-robed youth deserved to die even more!

Ren Yuanzi withdrew his finger, his sharp gaze suddenly turning to Liu Wei.

"One of our own?"

He spoke calmly, his tone utterly composed, yet brimming with murderous intent: "Tell me, who is he?"

Liu Wei's delicate body trembled, as if a chilling wind from the depths of hell had swept over her, and an uncontrollable fear surged from the very marrow of her bones.

That's something that willpower can't resist!

It's an absolute crushing of the opponent's level!

Even a single glance from a Reincarnation Realm expert can send a Life Profound Realm cultivator plummeting into an ice cave!

Liu Wei's legs sank half a foot into the ground!

"I—I—don't—know—"

Her face was as pale as paper, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed down her red lips.

Those were internal organs that had been severely damaged by the oppressive force!

"have no idea?"

A flash of golden light.

Ren Yuanzi had already appeared in front of Liu Wei, grabbed her slender neck with one hand, and forcefully pulled her up from the ground!

"I'll give you one more chance."

Ren Yuanzi looked down at Liu Wei as if she were an ant: "Tell me the name of that little beast."

Liu Wei's feet were dangling in the air, she was having difficulty breathing, and the light in her eyes had begun to dim.

She could feel the terrifying power contained in the hand gripping her neck.

If Ren Yuanzi exerts even a little force, her neck will break like a withered branch!

But she still shook her head, her voice weak but firm: "I—really—don't know—"

She really didn't know the man's name.

From beginning to end, the black-robed youth never introduced himself.

"Okay, okay, okay—"

Ren Yuanzi laughed in extreme anger: "Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, what a tough nut to crack!"

He increased the pressure on her neck, and Liu Wei's slender neck began to deform, making a faint sound of strain.

If you apply any more force, your neck will break!

Just then, "Buzz—!"

A crisp sword cry suddenly rang out!

A sharp sword light pierced through the air from outside Baichao Mountain, heading straight for Ren Yuanzi's back!

"Let go of my senior sister!!!"

The graceful figure in white, like a celestial maiden descending from the heavens, was none other than Ling Qingzhu!

Ren Yuanzi didn't even turn his head, casually flicking his left hand.

"Ding!"

The sharp sword light, powerful enough to kill a Life Profound Realm expert, vanished instantly as if it had hit an iron wall!

Ling Qingzhu let out a muffled groan and staggered back several steps, the longsword in her hand emitting a mournful cry.

Although she was also at the Ninth Nirvana stage, she was not even in the same league as a Reincarnation Realm expert!

"asshole!"

A sharp, angry shout, as clear as pearls falling onto a plate, suddenly rang out!

"You dare insult my lord? You deserve to die!"

"Hey!!!"

A clear phoenix cry echoed through the heavens and earth!

A violent seven-colored light erupted from Xiao Hong's body, and terrifying Nirvana Flame soared into the sky. Her figure instantly transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards Ren Yuanzi!

"Little Red, come back!"

Ling Qingzhu's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly called out.
