195: Soul Slayer

Xu Qi'an walked down from the horizon step by step, his powerful Realm pressure pressing all the Cultivators below firmly to the ground.

Yang Qinglong's face was filled with panic and extreme fear in his heart; he didn't know how Qinglong Kingdom had provoked the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator in front of him.

"Senior!!!"

Yang Qinglong shouted, full of fear.

A hint of coldness appeared on Xu Qi'an's face: "Why did you annihilate Qinghe Country?"

"Qinghe Country?"

Yang Qinglong quickly searched his memories, and after a few breaths, he had a slight impression.

At that time, a Tian Shu Sect Cultivator from a seventh-grade Cultivation Country found him.

He was told to send people to destroy Qinghe Country.

Qinghe Country was just a small third-grade Cultivation Country, so he naturally didn't take it to heart, nor did he ask for the reason.

Moreover, this was an opportunity to curry favor with a seventh-grade Cultivation Country, so how could he give it up?

He immediately casually sent a Soul Transformation Cultivator to Qinghe Country, who used a Divine Ability to destroy Qinghe Country.

Now, he realized belatedly why the Tian Shu Sect wanted him to destroy a small third-grade Cultivation Country—it was to retaliate against this Senior!

And this Senior and that third-grade Cultivation Country must have had some connection.

Understanding this, he immediately cried out.

"Senior, all of this was instructed by the Tian Shu Sect!"

"This humble one didn't know that Qinghe Country was connected to you!"

"If I had known, how could I have listened to the Tian Shu Sect and destroyed Qinghe Country!"

Xu Qi'an didn't want to hear his explanation; the destruction of Qinghe Country was already a fact, so what more was there to say?

He then grabbed Yang Qinglong in his hand and performed a soul-searching technique.

In a few breaths, he understood everything that happened back then.

After the great battle, after Xu Qi'an left Nine Dragon Star, Tian Shu Sect Cultivators investigated and ordered Cultivators from Qinglong Kingdom and other Nine Dragon Star Cultivators to search for Xu Qi'an's whereabouts.

But Xu Qi'an had already left, so there were no traces to be found.

The infuriated Tian Shu Sect Cultivators directly ordered Qinglong Kingdom to destroy the places where Xu Qi'an had stayed.

Therefore, not only Qinghe Country but also Dunwu Country suffered a tragic fate.

"Tian Shu Sect!"

"What a Tian Shu Sect!"

He had always remembered the grudge against Xuanling Immortal Palace, but back then, he lacked the strength to avenge it.

Now, old grudges were compounded with new ones.

If he didn't destroy this Tian Shu Sect, he swore he wouldn't be human!

Xu Qi'an's eyes glinted with coldness, and with a gentle lift of his hand, he turned Yang Qinglong into dust.

The surrounding Cultivators, seeing this scene, didn't dare to breathe, fearing they might anger this Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator.

Xu Qi'an coldly gazed downwards, patted his Storage Pouch, and a terrifyingly powerful giant beast appeared in mid-air.

This giant beast was covered in lightning, its strength had reached the Peak of Mahayana, and it was indeed Xu Qi'an's Thunder Beast.

"Thunder Beast, they are yours!"

The Thunder Beast roared, then spat out a huge electric net.

Xu Qi'an left no Cultivation Country that participated in the Tian Shu Sect's affairs!

For a time, the piercing screams of electricity echoed throughout Qinglong Kingdom.

Xu Qi'an closed his eyes, quietly sensing all of this.

......

Tian Shu Sect is located on Tian Shu Star.

Since the Seven Great Sects appeared and Ascension Palace secluded itself, Tian Shu Sect, the overlord of Tian Shu Star, gradually reduced many of its activities.

However, in a certain area on Tian Shu Star, almost no Cultivation Planet dared to disturb it.

But at this moment, a sharp shout spread across the entire Tian Shu Star.

"Tian Shu Sect Cultivators, come out!"

The Cultivators within Tian Shu Sect heard these words and immediately became panicked.

Sect Master Yan Jianshu of Tian Shu Sect was extremely puzzled; who dared to challenge his Tian Shu Sect?

"Could it be a Cultivator from one of the Seven Great Sects?"

"But didn't the Seven Great Sects suffer heavy Origin Qi losses after the Demon Race invasion?"

The Cultivators below immediately reported to Sect Master Yan with fear.

"Reporting, Sect Master! The person who came is a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator!!"

"What??" Sect Master Yan was greatly alarmed and immediately began to contact the higher Sect.

Before he could even make contact, several Cultivators arrived in his Sect's main hall.

"No need to contact, Sect Leader Yan."

"We are already here."

Sect Leader Yan looked up and saw five Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivators!

One of them was one of the Four Kings of Ascension Palace.

It was Zhan Lingwang of Ascension Palace!

This Zhan Lingwang was publicly recognized as one of the top ten combatants in Ascension Palace!

He had a Tribulation Transcendence Stage ninth-layer cultivation, and his Law power was close to the Perfection of Minor Achievement Realm, almost comparable to a Sect's Grand Old Ancestor.

The other four Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivators included two at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage sixth-layer, and two around the Tribulation Transcendence Stage third or fourth-layer, their strength also considerable.

Sect Leader Yan naturally knew who had come.

He had even had the good fortune to meet this person once before.

"So, Lord Zhan Lingwang has arrived!!"

"Yan Jianshu greets Lord Zhan Lingwang!"

Sect Leader Yan bowed at a ninety-degree angle, but Zhan Lingwang merely looked on indifferently, not even sparing him a glance, and directly went to Sect Leader Yan's previous position.

"Alright, no need for formalities," Zhan Lingwang said coldly.

Sect Leader Yan immediately smiled awkwardly and retreated to the side.

Zhan Lingwang continued: "This Xu Qi'an is the Forbidden artistic conception Cultivator that your Tian Shu Sect let escape on Nine Dragon Star."

"Not only that, he is also the successor of Xuanling Immortal Palace back then, the only remaining Heavenly Stellar of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, and the Saint of Yang Sect!"

"He is also the one who ruined Ascension Palace's plan this time!"

"He has now become quite formidable, even capable of slaying a Demon General!"

"What??!" Sect Leader Yan's heart was filled with tumultuous waves.

Wasn't he just a small Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator back then? How did he become a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator now?

Zhan Lingwang chuckled: "Don't worry, with us here today, he won't be able to kill you."

"On the contrary, today, we few will definitely kill this person!"

Sect Leader Yan was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Many thanks, Lord Zhan Lingwang, for coming to our rescue!"

Zhan Lingwang then smiled and said: "However, we will have to trouble Sect Leader Yan to lead him into Tian Shu Sect."

"Don't worry, as soon as he enters Tian Shu Sect, we will make our move!"

Sect Leader Yan was stunned.

Making him lure Xu Qi'an in, wasn't that asking for death?

"Lord, perhaps Xu Qi'an will come in by himself, no?"

Zhan Lingwang immediately narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly not satisfied with Sect Leader Yan's answer.

At this moment, a Tian Shu Sect Cultivator came to report: "Reporting to Sect Master, Xu Qi'an has already broken in!"

Sect Leader Yan was immediately delighted.

Zhan Lingwang mused: "Hehe, then we will have to trouble Sect Leader Yan to go to a Formation we have set up in Tian Shu Sect. As long as Xu Qi'an comes, our plan will be a great success!"

"Ah? Lord! No, Lord!" Sect Leader Yan's brows furrowed, and he exclaimed.

However, Zhan Lingwang and the others had already disappeared from their original spot, not giving Sect Leader Yan any chance to react.

"Alas... Ascension Palace doesn't treat us as people either!" Sect Leader Yan sighed heavily.

But the arrow was on the string, and it had to be loosed.

He then narrowed his eyes, a chill appearing on his face, and immediately made a decision.

As soon as Xu Qi'an died, he would immediately flee, with no more worries.

Even if Yang Sect came looking later, it would be none of his business!
