<h4>Chapter 559: Xi Wuya</h4>
Five kilometers away from the Great Qian Ruins, in the pavilion.
The Perfected Lords of the Duanmu and Ouyang ns sat inside with rxed expressions, sipping tea leisurely.
Although the Nascent Souls outside the pavilion looked indignant, they did not dare to leave without permission.
In this short period of time, there had already been more than ten Nascent Souls who wanted to challenge the Duanmu and Ouyang ancient aristocratic families but were killed helplessly!
The number of shattered Destiny Talismans was still increasing rapidly.
Gradually, fear, doubt, shock and frustration spread through the crowd.
They were not the only ones; even the Nascent Souls of Heaven Motion Sect, Ster Luna Sect and Dark Ghost Sect from the ten upper sects could only watch helplessly as the Destiny Talismans in their hands shattered.
The three of them looked extremely furious!
Too many paragons had fallen by this point of the Vermilion Fruit fight.
Even among the ten upper sects and four gentry ns, there were few paragons remaining.
The remaining few Destiny Talismans were also dark at this moment, proving that even those paragons who managed to survive were not doing well.
Finally, the Perfected Lord of the Yuwen n could not hold it in any longer and snarled, “Duanmu n has truly produced a wonderful sessor!”
“Isn’t the sessor of the Duanmu n being too ruthless just to fight for a single Vermilion Fruit?!” The expression of Blood Mist Sect’s Perfected Lord was terrible.
“Fufu.”
The Perfected Lord of Duanmu n chuckled and shook his head. “This is a fight between the paragons to begin with and is extremely fair for everyone. Why are you holding the Duanmu n ountable for the death of your disciples?”
The many Nascent Souls were silent.
No matter what, it was indeed a fair fight between the paragons.
If their disciples had the chance to kill Duanmu n’s paragon with ease, no mercy would be shown either.
The Perfected Lord of Duanmu n said coldly, “Don’t try to fight for the Vermilion Fruit if you don’t have the capabilities! If you dare toe for the challenge and die because of it, there’s no one else to me!”
“You... ”
Although the words of Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord were nasty, everyone was rendered speechless.
All of a sudden!
Sensing something, Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord frowned and pped his storage bag, retrieving a Destiny Talisman.
The initial radiance of the Destiny Talisman was rapidly dimming.
“Hmm?”
Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord was stunned!
At the same time, Ouyang n’s Perfected Lord withdrew a Destiny Talisman as well.
Its radiance was also diminishing rapidly.
Something was wrong with the situation!
The Duanmu and Ouyang ancient aristocratic families had a close rtionship.
Although Duanmu Kang and Ouyang Xiayu could not be considered as childhood sweethearts, they would definitely not fight one another given their rtionship.
In other words, a strong foe had managed to threaten the both of them!
Although the Nascent Souls outside the pavilion were silent, all of them were gloating in secret.
“They seem to be in trouble,” The Perfected Lord of the Ouyang n had a grim expression.
Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord frowned deeply.
Naturally, he could sense that there was an issue through the feedback of the Destiny Talisman.
However, what he could not understand was who could threaten Duanmu Kang in the Great Qian Ruins given thetter’s strength!
Furthermore, Duanmu Kang was apanied by Ouyang Xiayu and two powerful demon beasts as mounts!
Shing!
Right then, a noise sounded from the Destiny Talisman in the Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord’s hands.
Although it was not loud, it felt like thunder booming in his ears!
Instinctively, he looked down.
A series of cracks appeared on the Destiny Talisman that represented Duanmu Kang!
This meant that Duanmu Kang was already dead!
The Perfected Lord of the Duanmu n froze up.
He did not even realize when the broken Destiny Talisman fell through his fingers.
Although most of the Nascent Souls outside the pavilion were gloating at his misfortune, they had conflicted expressions.
They were also curious as to what was happening in the depths of the ruins!
Who was it that had the capabilities and guts to murder the paragon of an ancient aristocratic family?!
After a moment of hesitation, Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord pped the table and stood up, remarking darkly, “Something strange is happening in the ruins, I must head there and check things out! While there might be paragons in the North Region who can defeat my Kang’er, I don’t believe that any of them can kill him!”
“Hehe!”
A Nascent Soul from the crowd could not hold it in and snickered, “Who was the one who said earlier on that no Nascent Souls are allowed to interfere and enter the Great Qian Ruins to ensure that this was a fair fight?”
“That’s right! Reneging on your own words right away? How shameless can you get?”
“You guys have a death wish!”
Triggered, Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord was enraged and his be shone, sending forth his spirit consciousness.
Vines started growing endlessly beneath the feet of the two Nascent Souls who spoke and wrapped around them!
Almost instantly, the two of them were cut mercilessly by the vines with fresh blood dripping.
“Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!”
Both of them let out miserable wails.
No matter how they struggled, they could not break free from the vines. Instead, the vines wrapped around them even tighter instead.
The vines were already digging into their flesh!
Poof!
Their bodies could not take it and were sliced into meat lumps by the vines, falling onto the ground with a nauseating stench.
“Anyone else disagreeable?”
Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord surveyed his surroundings with a murderous aura and asked frostily.
“Fufu... ”
Suddenly, a mocking chuckle sounded in the air.
An old man with a sloven face and scrawny body had appeared unknowingly. With an ancient stare that seemed to be able to peer through everything, he remarked nonchntly, “How imposing.”
“You are...”
The Perfected Lord of the Duanmu n froze for a moment.
Immediately after, his stare shifted onto the old man’s waist.
When he caught sight of the sect badge, Duanmu n’s Perfected Lord shuddered with a look of disbelief in his eyes, eximing, “ss Pce!”
Those two words seemed to be magical.
Instantly, silence ensued outside the pavilion.
Almost all cultivators who could cultivate to be Nascent Souls have heard of the nine immortal sects before.
The Nascent Souls of the North Region who knew about the nine immortal sects would definitely know about ss Pce!
That was a true super sect of the North Region and was a titan!
“Fellow Daoist, may I ask who you are from ss Pce?”
The Perfected Lord of Duanmu n asked with difficulty, vaguely sensing something.
“I don’t have a title. I’m merely an old servant of the young master.”
The ss Pce old man’s tone was still calm.
“Y-Young master... has he arrived?”
The Perfected Lord of Duanmu n murmured softly with a bitter tone.
He finally understood how Duanmu Kang died.
If that man from ss Pce arrived in the Great Qian Ruins, even 10 Duanmu Kangs won’t be a match for him!
That was the number one Perfected Being of the North Region 30 years ago!
That man could have entered Nascent Soul realm 10 years earlier. However, the reason why he did not take the step forward was because he wanted to enter the ancient battlefield 20 yearster.
Xi Wuya of ss Pce!
He reigned supreme across the Golden Core realm in the North Region 30 years ago!
When the Perfected Lords of the ten upper sects and four gentry ns heard the name Xi Wuya, all of them went silent.
The Perfected Lord of Ouyang n murmured softly, “If we knew that Xi Wuya woulde, why would we bother sending our disciples to fight for the Vermilion Fruit? That’s just seeking trouble for ourselves.”
