The palm force came towards the sect formation in full force, then it crashed into the sect formation, and in just a few seconds, the formation turned into specks of light and dissipated.
But no one was concerned with the dissipating sect formation; they were all looking at Li Kuang as if he's a ghost. In just those few seconds, they knew the exact realm Li Kuang is at. Li Kuang also smugly looked at the Peak Masters and Gu Xuan. He also wanted to show his power, and he did now; he felt amazing.
Ba Tian spoke out first in horror, "Nascent Soul! You're in the Nascent Soul realm... how is this possible?"
All the other Peak Masters and Gu Xuan's faces are grim right now. Even if they don't have any Nascent Soul realm cultivator, they can't win because of Li Zhan. Li Zhan and Ancestor Gu Xuan are in the same realm, and the others could kill the Peak Masters easily due to the huge gap between them. Now what are they seeing? Li Kuang, the ancestor of the Li family, is in the realm of Nascent Soul? What does it mean? It means the Li family is already a high-rank 9th-tier family. If they fought with the Li family, they'd definitely die a miserable death, although they are a mid-rank 9th-tier sect...
Li Kuang was looking at them as if he was looking at some ants. "Now don't even try to resist my attack; just die already... hahaha! I always wanted to kill you all and take the secrets that your sect is carrying from generations. An ancient sect, heh. If that Ling Xiao wasn't here all this time, I'd have taken that secret long ago. But now, ha ha ha..."
Just saying that, Li Kuang created a huge palm above the Eternal Sect and slapped it towards Gu Xuan and the other Peak Masters.
The Peak Masters' and Gu Xuan's faces changed in horror; they couldn't move their bodies at all. They were all locked by that huge palm; no matter how much force they used, they still couldn't break through this palm.
Gu Xuan sighed and said, "Ancestors, I... I can't protect the sect at all... in my time, the sect is going to get destroyed... the light of the Eternal Sect is going to disappear..."
Other Peak Masters also felt a pang of pain in their hearts. They always wanted to see this sect in beautiful glory, but now they can't. The sect is going to be destroyed. They all closed their eyes in pain...
At this moment, a long time passed by, but they are not dead yet. What happened? Why aren't they dead? Why are they still okay until now?
Gu Xuan pointed his finger towards the sky in front of them with eyes bulged out. "Huai! Isn't that Huai..."
Everyone looked at the place their ancestor was pointing. In their horrified eyes, in the sky in front of them stood a guy around 17 years old. His long white robe was fluttering in the air; his black long hair was loose and played with the gentle air. His complexion was fair, just like white jade... his light brown eyes were deep, as if containing vast knowledge. Between his eyebrows, a red mark was shining with a red glow... at his waist, a plaque with a jade pendant was hanging; there were words written on the plaque: SECT MASTER TOKEN OF THE ETERNAL SECT. In his hand, there was a cup of tea that he brewed before...
Not just the group of the Eternal Sect, even the group of the Li family became dumbfounded. What the hell? Who is it? He got a perfect entry? What did he think about himself? A protagonist? But when they looked at their ancestor Li Kuang, their faces started looking like they were already pissing themselves...
What did they see? They saw their ancestor looking at the guy as if he was looking at some unknown horror...
At this moment, Li Kuang looked at Huai in great horror. He knew he used his full power to condense that palm to show off, but to his utter horror, this guy appeared just before the palm landed on the Eternal Sect. But the most disbelieving fact is this guy didn't take any actions; he just took a sip from his cup and the palm force vanished in thin air... he can't see through him at all...
Li Kuang composed himself and asked, "Your Highness, it's a conflict between my Li family and The Eternal Sect. Please don't interfere, or else the Goddess will take action..."
To his surprise, Huai didn't even take his threatening seriously at all. He just took a sip from his cup, then poured the rest of the tea from the cup into two droplets, then sent these two droplets towards Han Mujie and Yan Ruyu. To both of their surprise, their bodies healed in seconds. They bowed towards Huai: "Thank you, Sect Master."
They now know that Huai has already become a cultivator above their own power. They have many questions they want to ask, but now is not the time... the other Peak Masters and even the Ancestor of the Eternal Sect bowed towards Huai and said out loud, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
These words were just a mere greeting for Huai, but for the Li family people, it was a sharp arrow...
Huai looked at Li Kuang. Li Kuang felt naked in that gaze of Huai. He said stammering, "Your Highness, we didn't know that you were the Master of The Eternal Sect. We'd like to..."
Before he said anything more, a thing flew past Li Zhan and others and hit Li Kuang in between his eyebrows. Li Kuang's head burst the moment the flying object touched his head, and his body fell to the Sword Peak...
Silence. Utter silence. No one spoke—not the Peak Master, not the Ancestor, nor those Li clan people... no one spoke a single word. Why? Who'd like to speak at this moment? That was a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, and not just any Nascent Soul cultivator; he was already a level 2 Nascent Soul cultivator, which only the Li clan people knew... that's why Li Zhan and the others felt more fear...
At this moment, everyone saw the flying object that hit Li Kuang because after hitting Li Kuang, the object returned to the hands of Huai. It was the tea cup. A porcelain tea cup killed a Nascent Soul level 2 cultivator? The audience became dumbfounded...
Huai looked at the rest of the Li family and sighed. "The thing I hate most is the people who interrupt me when I do something..." Yes, it's true; he was just drinking some tea when it happened, when the people from the Li family invaded The Eternal Sect. In his previous life, he was soft—too soft to punish anyone... but now he has power, so why not? Why not live a good life this time?
Huai looked at Li Zhan, when Li Rong said from beside him, "Your Highness! We don't..."
He didn't even have the time to complete his sentence when his body and soul already burst into blood mist...
Huai looked indifferently towards Li He and Li Wei and said, "Didn't I already say I don't like getting interrupted?"
How would they refute? This guy already said that, and now after getting interrupted, he already killed two of the members of the family. Li Zhan and others kowtowed immediately at this moment in front of Huai. "Mercy! Please show us mercy... the whole Li family will be cats and dogs for the Eternal Sect. Please show us mercy, Your Highness..."
Huai: "Heh, didn't you already announce that you're going to kill every chicken and dog of the Eternal Sect? Heh! Aren't you the one who killed my master by poisoning his pill? Now you want mercy from his own disciple? Heh, you have great imagination..."
Just by saying this, Huai looked at the porcelain cup in his hand in disgust, then threw it towards Li Zhan, and Li Zhan burst into blood mist...
Li He and Li Wei immediately stood up and tried to run away, but Huai just snorted, and both of them turned into blood mist in just the blink of an eye.
Huai looked at the Peak Masters and smiled. "What? Do you have some work here? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ba Tian spoke first: "Hahahaha, brat! At least now you can take over the Sect Master position."
Gu Xuan looked at him as if he's an idiot, while Han Mujie came to the side of Ba Tian and slapped his head. "What 'brat'? Do you want to die? Call him Sect Master..."
Everyone laughed at Ba Tian while he was busy rubbing his head... Huai also laughed out loud, and then after a few seconds of laughter...
At the Main Hall, Huai sat in the seat of the Sect Master, while Gu Xuan sat in the Vice Sect Leader's seat, and the other Peak Masters sat in their designated seats.
Huai looked at all of them, then said, "Now tell me, what to do with the Li family?"
Su Yun: "Umm, Sect Master, if we take action against the Li sect now, maybe the Goddess will take action against us..."
Before he could say further, Shui Miao said, "But we can't let them go just like that. This time they even killed our Sect Master."
Yan Ruyu: "Yes, Sect Master, we want revenge."
Feng Wuji also felt anger in himself and said, "Yes, Sect Master, this time they plotted against us by doing these dirty tricks. If they do this again, then what? We can't leave them without punishing."
Gu Xuan sighed; he's already old and knows that he'd die at any moment... looking at Huai as if he's a gem. At the time of adversity, he saved the Eternal Sect; now the sect has Huai, now he can fight to the death... he said, "Sect Master, give us your order. I'll go personally to destroy the Li family. It doesn't matter if I live a day more or not, but for the Eternal Sect, I can go to hell..."
Before he said more, Huai looked at him, smiled, and took out a pill from his system space, then tossed it to Gu Xuan. "Eat it."
Gu Xuan didn't think about anything; he just caught the pill and put it in his mouth, thinking that this pill should extend his time before death by around 2 to 3 days at least. The sect already did its best according to this matter; in these years, the sect gave him countless medicines to extend his life. He knows too well that his body is not going to wait anymore; he'd live at least a few months if he didn't take any action, but if he did, then he'd only have a few days, so this medicine is already a huge benefit to him...
But a few minutes went by, and the medicine didn't dissolve fully yet, but he felt a vast energy was enveloping his Golden Core in his dantian. To his horror, inside that Golden Core, an illusory soul started appearing and taking shape step by step... a few minutes went by, and he was still sitting in the same position. Everyone was watching him curiously. They also could feel the changes around Ancestor Gu Xuan.
Minute by minute, half an hour went by; the pill fully dissolved in his dantian. After that, he saw in his dantian a completely illusory soul take shape, and his realm also broke through to the Nascent Soul realm...
A Nascent Soul realm cultivator can live for around 300 years, so just by reaching the first level of Nascent Soul, his aged face started getting younger and younger. His hair and beard turned black in just a few seconds until he became a middle-aged man...
At this moment, Gu Xuan was emitting an aura of breakthrough; just by inhaling this aura, everyone broke through their realm one by one...
Han Mujie reached Golden Core level 9, Ba Tian reached the level 8 Golden Core realm, Su Yun reached the realm of Golden Core level 6, while Yan Ruyu reached the realm of Golden Core level 7. On the side of the other four Peak Masters, Shi Yan also reached Golden Core level 7; as for Shui Miao and Mu Qing reached Golden Core level 5, and Feng Wuji reached Golden Core level 6...
Everyone was excited looking at their cultivation levels. Only Gu Xuan stood up, then bowed deeply towards Huai and asked, "Sect Master, what kind of pill did you just give me?"
Huai smiled and, with a gentle force, helped Gu Xuan to stand up, then said nonchalantly, "It was just a level 8 pill called the Golden Essence Nirvana Pill."
While everyone was dumbfounded about the grade of the pill, Mu Qing stood up and shouted in horror, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Isn't that pill's formula already lost?"
Everyone looked at Mu Qing with confused eyes. Mu Qing sighed and said to all, "The Golden Essence Nirvana Pill is a pill of ancient times; it not only guarantees a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul, but it also can heal hidden injuries to the fullest."
These words fell as if a big stone was thrown into a calm lake.
Huai just looked at them and said indifferently, "What lost pill? Didn't I already give you the pill? "
