Chapter 3805: Reduced to Ruins
The Warring Old Freak also looked at the Transcension Ancestor coldly, radiating with killing intent. As it turned out, the Transcension Ancestor’s ultimate objective for forging the Fiend Soul Banners was actually to deal with his War sect.
Fortunately, this matter had been prematurely exposed. If they really managed to make all of their arrangements and forge the Fiend Soul Banners, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The Flying Leaf Ancestor collapsed onto the ground powerlessly. Her eyes were hollow and empty. Clearly, she had already given up on everything.
There was not just the Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven gathered here but also the Warring Old Freak, a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, and the Aural Heavens Elder from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance who was clearly even stronger.
Faced with such a force, she did not even have the courage to flee.
The Transcension Ancestor was calm. Despite everything having been exposed already, he still behaved like nothing had happened at all.
He turned his gaze and looked at the Flying Leaf Ancestor. “Junior sister, do you blame me for everything that’s happened today?”
The Flying Leaf Ancestor shook her head numbly. She said nothing in response.
“However, I was entirely responsible for forging the Fiend Soul Banners. Neither you nor your senior brother Space-purging took part in this, so this has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment either,” the Transcension Ancestor said calmly before glancing past the dozen or so Immortal Exalts present slowly. “You must have heard what I’ve just said. I’m entirely responsible for the Fiend Soul Banners. It has nothing to do with anyone else, much less the sect.”
“As a result, feel free to come and find me, but if you want to drag junior sister Flying Leaf and the sect into this…” Reaching there, the Transcension Ancestor paused. His eyes surged with endless coldness. “Then I swear that when I return, I will make you all pay an unimaginable price.”
After saying that, the Transcension Ancestor’s clone began to burn, turning into ash and dissipating into the surroundings.
“How blatant, how utmostly blatant!” Many of the Immortal Exalts in the tower were angered, but they recalled the Transcension Ancestor’s threats and shivered after calming down.
The Hall Brilliance Heaven mostly had early Immortal Exalts. There were only a measly total of three or four people who had reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Faced with the threats of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, probably only an expert like the Warring Old Freak could remain unfazed.
Most importantly, the Transcension Ancestor’s strength ranked a terrifying second on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
It was also because of the Transcension Ancestor’s presence that the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment could stand as the second greatest organisation of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, only second to the War sect!
Simply the thought of any expert like that becoming unchained and going after them for revenge was terrifying.
“This person does indeed deserve to die. He puts on the facade of a righteous member of the orthodoxy, yet he commits deeds even more heinous than the demons of the Demons’ World.” The normally amicable Aural Heavens Elder was angered as well. His expression became slightly cold before he extended two fingers gently towards the space where the Transcension Ancestor’s clone had vanished.
The profound presence of ways flowed through the tip of his fingers, possessing the secrets of how the ways operate. It was as if his fingers could rewrite the laws in the surroundings.
This was the comprehension of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt!
Shortly afterwards, a presence seemed to silently condense on the tips of his fingers.
It was the Transcension Ancestor’s presence. Originally, when he destroyed his clone and incinerated all of his clone’s presence and traces, it was to ensure that he left behind no clues connected to his main body.
But despite that, the Aural Heavens Elder had used his laws to revert this process and turn back time, forcefully extracting a wisp of the Transcension Ancestor’s presence.
The Aural Heavens Elder trapped the Transcension Ancestor’s presence in one hand as he formed seals with his other hand. His eyes became deep like the starry sky. Laws seemed to weave through his pupils as the complex ways manifested.
He was using his cultivation at the Seventh Heavenly Layer to deduce the location of the Transcension Ancestor’s true body with the presence as a medium.
In the tower, all of the experts understood what the Aural Heavens Elder was doing. They all held their breaths, staring straight at him as they waited eagerly.
As long as the Transcension Ancestor was still alive, none of them dared to move recklessly. On the Hall Brilliance Heaven, none of them stood a chance against the Transcension Ancestor’s vengeance apart from the War sect.
Even for the War sect, it would be tremendous trouble if a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt hidden in the shadows decided to go after them.
“Hopefully, we can find the Transcension Ancestor’s true body and kill him in one fell stroke before the main banner of the Fiend Soul Banners is forged.”
“Yeah, if we let him forge the main banner successfully, he’ll probably be able to rival senior Warring with the power of the Fiend Soul Banner.”
Many of the Immortal Exalts were filled with worry.
A while later, the Aural Heavens Elder stopped. Before he could say anything, some of the Immortal Exalts already began to ask him for the result.
The Aural Heavens Ancestor sighed gently. “This person is extremely cautious. Although he left a clone here, he’s already severed all connection with the clone. Moreover, I’ve deduced that it’s extremely likely that he possessed a treasure that can obscure the heavenly secrets and hide him from all attempts at searching for him.”
When they heard that, the hearts of many Immortal Exalts sank.
“In other words, unless the Transcension Ancestor shows himself, it’ll be almost impossible for us to find him?” the Warring Old Freak said sternly. The Transcension Ancestor was forging the Fiend Soul Banner to come after his War sect. He was in greater urgency to eliminate this threat than any of the people present.
The Aural Heavens Elder nodded and said in thought, “Right now, his main body should be hidden in a lower world, but there are innumerable lower worlds. With his strength, if he wants to hide, finding him is almost impossible.”
The Warring Old Freak fell silent.
“However, this person is forging the Fiend Soul Banners. He’s already committed a great taboo. Our union leader cares very much about this, so the union leader should make some arrangements later.” The Aural Heavens Elder glanced at the Warring Old Freak first before glancing past all of the Immortal Exalts present slowly. “In short, this is no longer just a matter of the Hall Brilliance Heaven anymore, so you don’t have to feel too much pressure.”
Only when they heard that did some of the Immortal Exalts present ease up. They all knew the strength of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance. With the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance’s participation, everything would become much easier.
“I still have to report back to the union leader about what had happened here, so I’ll be taking my leave first!” The Aural Heavens Elder seemed very amicable. He did not put on the airs of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt at all. He clasped his fist towards everyone before vanishing.
