"Everyone, don't panic, the Old Ancestor has arrived."
Chou Qianli shouted, his face filled with excitement.
Fortunately, he was intelligent and resourceful, keeping a trick up his sleeve. When he noticed something was amiss, he immediately informed Yu Yao Sect's Returning Void Old Ancestor.
The speed of a Returning to Void Realm powerhouse was naturally extremely fast.
After all, this plan had been communicated to the Sect's Old Ancestor, so it wasn't a private operation.
Many nearby Sects had even received warnings not to interfere in this matter.
At this moment, in the distant sky, a grey figure seemed to ignore spatial distance, stepping out and instantly appearing above the battlefield.
This person's face was gaunt, his eye sockets sunken, but the Aura emanating from his body was not to be underestimated; he was clearly a powerhouse of the Returning to Void Realm!
This was also the Yu Yao Sect's reliance for holding sway over Youzhou for ten thousand years.
Even looking across East Cangzhou, he was a well-known powerhouse.
His cold gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield, finally landing on Han Xuanji, carrying a hint of scrutiny and icy killing intent.
"Who are you…?"
"How dare Your Excellency harm my Yu Yao Sect disciples and seize my Sect's Divine Beast… Your Excellency, you have immense guts."
Another voice rang out, this voice seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Nether, incredibly eerie, carrying the unique pressure of a Returning Void Cultivator, like an invisible iceberg crashing down.
The grey-robed gaunt Old Ancestor stood suspended in the air, and behind him, a Returning Void Old Ancestor, dressed in a black robe with red patterns and an Aura equally as profound as the sea, also revealed his figure. This person was burly, holding an ancient mirror burning with eerie blue flames in his hand. Wherever the mirror light shone, space subtly twisted.
The two Returning to Void Realm foundations of Yu Yao Sect, Soul Prison Old Ancestor and Burning Sea Old Ancestor, who held sway over Youzhou, had arrived together.
Their appearance was truly uplifting. The Yu Yao Sect experts who had fortunately survived below now felt as if they had found their backbone, their eyes rekindling with hope, looking at Han Xuanji with malice and the joy of impending revenge.
Burning Sea Old Ancestor's gaze was firmly locked on Han Xuanji, as if looking at a dead man.
And Soul Prison Old Ancestor stared at the growling Little White Tiger with undisguised greed.
"Hand over the Little White Tiger, and I can spare your life."
Soul Prison Old Ancestor's voice was dry and hoarse, but it carried an undeniable tone of judgment.
In his eyes, what did it matter if a Returning Void Cultivator with an unstable Aura came with a Yao Beast that had just entered the Returning to Void Realm?
Thinking of this, Soul Prison Old Ancestor's lips curled into an eerie smile, and his eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
Facing the combined efforts of their two Middle Stage Returning Void Old Ancestors, the outcome was already decided.
However, Han Xuanji's origins were unknown, and they didn't want to offend him too deeply without cause.
Besides, if the other party truly had some backing, he could have revealed his identity earlier; why would he put himself in danger?
"To obtain a Returning to Void Realm White Tiger Yao pet this time is truly a blessing from heaven for my Yu Yao Sect."
Thinking of this, even an old antique like Soul Prison Old Ancestor, who had cultivated for thousands of years, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
However, Han Xuanji's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
Calm, indifferent, like an ancient cold pond without ripples.
"Hmph, playing mind games!"
Burning Sea Old Ancestor's eerie blue flame mirror glowed brightly, its surface locked onto the Little White Tiger. A terrifying heat, as if capable of melting all things, began to gather, clearly preparing to strike at any moment to capture it.
And Soul Prison Old Ancestor watched this scene with a calm demeanor, not speaking to stop him.
Burning Sea Old Ancestor understood, and immediately mobilized his Spiritual Qi.
The strike of a Returning to Void Realm powerhouse was naturally extraordinary. In an instant, a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire mountain range, and a dreadful Aura surged in the air. Even before the true strike, it had already caused a celestial phenomenon.
"Go!"
Burning Sea Old Ancestor merely waved his hand, and a Spell was instantly activated.
In a flash, streams of raging flames erupted from the eerie blue ancient mirror, and a towering pillar of fire shot out. This was a terrifying power capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
"Old Ancestor's Divine Might!"
The remaining Yu Yao Sect Cultivators couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in their hearts, especially Chou Qianli, whose face was distorted with ferocity.
What if it was a Returning Void Great Yao?
Did they truly think their Yu Yao Sect was easy to bully?
Flames soared into the sky, and the temperature in the air abruptly rose. The once somewhat desolate mountain range now resembled a volcanic eruption!
Even the previously confident Little White Tiger's eyes were now filled with solemnity.
The previous battle had consumed a lot of its Spiritual Qi and energy. Now, suddenly facing this full-force attack from a Returning to Void Realm expert, it felt somewhat overwhelmed.
After all, no matter how strong its Bloodline, it had only just stepped into the Returning to Void Realm.
Not everyone had Han Xuanji's abnormal cultivation speed, able to stabilize his Realm while quickly mastering various Divine Abilities and Spells.
And it was at this moment that Han Xuanji, who had been standing still, finally raised his hand.
A small shield suddenly enlarged, blocking in front of them.
Boom!
The collision was earth-shattering, raising a scorching heatwave that seemed to give the Tianyou Mountain Range a perm.
"My Heaven-Burning Demonic Art has reached Major Achievement, how can it be easily blocked?"
Burning Sea Old Ancestor couldn't help but show a hint of self-satisfaction.
"Something seems wrong."
Suddenly, a Yu Yao Sect Cultivator spoke at an inopportune moment.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the center of the collision.
They saw that the man and the tiger were completely unharmed, the Seven Stars Black Tortoise Shield protecting them without any blind spots. Instead, a group of Yu Yao Sect Cultivators were covered in dust from the aftermath of the battle.
"This…"
Seeing this scene, the many Yu Yao Sect Cultivators present were instantly dumbfounded, involuntarily looking towards their Old Ancestors.
This time, Burning Sea Old Ancestor also showed a solemn expression. Without a doubt, they had kicked an iron plate.
Anyone who could produce such a defensive Magic Treasure was definitely not a Mortal.
But ultimately, the two Returning Void Cultivators, having cultivated to this point, were not indecisive individuals.
"Let's attack together; do not let him escape."
Soul Prison Old Ancestor immediately decided.
Since they had already offended him, they might as well offend him to the death!
Of course, this 'death' referred to the other side's death.
"Mm."
Burning Sea Old Ancestor immediately nodded.
In the next instant, above their heads, the Myriad Beasts Suppressing Yao Diagram, which covered the sky and glowed with flowing light, now became even larger. Several terrifying Yao Beast phantoms materialized within it, their Aura far exceeding what they had shown before.
This was the true power of their Yu Yao Sect's Sect-suppressing Magic Treasure, a Seventh-rank Magic Treasure, which finally unleashed its true might when activated by two Returning to Void Realm Cultivators.
And Han Xuanji's eyes were cold, and he said coldly:
"Do you truly think I am already at your mercy?"
The moment his voice sounded, he had already circulated the Spiritual Qi throughout his body, carrying boundless Sword Intent and the rage in his heart. All the Spiritual Qi in the world seemed to converge at this single point.
Great Wilderness Sword Finger, Second Form.
Sky-Rending!
He merely pointed his fingers like a sword at the Myriad Beasts Suppressing Yao Diagram that covered the sky and glowed with flowing light, and lightly drew a line from afar.
There was no earth-shattering Sword Qi, no dazzling brilliance.
There was only a nearly transparent, subtle spatial ripple, like water waves, gently caressing the giant beast hide scroll.
"Sss-lah—"
A soft sound, like simply tearing thin silk.
The Heaven-Suppressing Diagram, which emanated heavy pressure, was silently split into two from the center by an incredibly smooth spatial rift!
The Yao Beast totems on the diagram let out a silent wail, instantly dimming and dissipating!
The entire Magic Treasure seemed to lose all its spirituality, shrinking countless times in an instant, and floating down from the sky!
