258: Who said there are only the two of us?

Cheng Qingxuan led the two towards the main hall.

Along the way, Lu Ming's gaze swept around, seeing that most of the Disciples in the Sect looked dispirited and lacked vigor, each like an eggplant hit by frost, appearing as if they had suffered a defeat.

"Isn't it just a major defeat!" Lu Ming sneered inwardly.

The entire battlefield had been taken away by Mu Han, and who knew how many of their close friends, Dao Companions, and relatives were among them.

Now separated by Yin and Yang, and still confined within the Sect, unable even to seek revenge, how could they possibly lift their spirits?

"It's your misfortune to have such an irresponsible Old Ancestor," Lu Ming muttered to himself.

"But there's no need to worry, I, Lu, am here today to rescue you from this predicament!"

He and True Person Tianxing exchanged glances again.

"Act?"

"Act!"

Ding! Signal connection successful √

The next moment, killing intent suddenly emerged, and the two attacked without warning!

Behind True Person Tianxing, the Void Realm vibrated, and a Dharma Ring surrounded by the halo of heavenly stars suddenly appeared.

Then, amidst brilliant light, a phantom of a falling star materialized, carrying a suppressing force, and smashed fiercely towards Cheng Qingxuan.

Lu Ming was even more direct; with a flash of golden light, the sunfall longbow, emitting a scorching Aura, was already in his hand. As the bowstring vibrated, an arrow condensed with terrifying Fiery Sun True Fire tore through the sky!

"How dare you!"

Cheng Qingxuan was both shocked and enraged. He had never expected these two to actually dare to attack on his territory; this was simply not putting him in their eyes!

However, facing these two sudden attacks, he had no choice but to defend.

He saw a burst of green light erupt around him, and an ancient shield was instantly summoned, while his body rapidly retreated.

"Boom—"

The falling star and the blazing arrow struck the shield almost simultaneously. Violent energy ripples spread in all directions, tearing apart the sea of clouds below.

Although Cheng Qingxuan barely blocked the attack, in his haste, he still suffered some minor injuries.

His Qi and blood churned within him, and his internal organs throbbed with pain.

"What's going on? Aren't they the honored guests invited by the Grand Elder?"

"They... how could they attack the Grand Elder?"

"Are they crazy?! How dare they commit violence within my Qingxuan Sect! They're absolutely audacious!"

"…"

The Disciples below were all stunned by this sudden turn of events and began to discuss animatedly.

However, there wasn't much panic on their faces; instead, they seemed to be watching a good show.

Are you kidding? On their own territory, how could they allow others to run wild!

At this moment, Cheng Qingxuan also recovered from the sneak attack, and then he became furious.

"Old Ghost Tianxing! You have some nerve!" But then, a sinister sneer appeared on his face: "What a pity! Your brains have been kicked by a donkey! Outside, I might be wary of you, but here, a Dragon must coil, and a tiger must crouch!"

"Azure Spirit Light Grand Array, rise!"

He bristled with anger, his hands suddenly pointing towards the sky, and his Dharma power surged into the mountain gate and earth beneath his feet like a bursting river.

"Buzz—"

The entire Qingxuan Sect mountain range vibrated violently. Countless azure light pillars shot up from various peaks, intertwining in the sky to form a massive azure light net covering the heavens.

"Suppress them!" Cheng Qingxuan roared.

Although the internal scope of this "Azure Spirit Light Grand Array" lacked sharp offensive means, its suppressing power was enough to make Golden Core Cultivators trapped within it unable to move an inch, with their Dharma power stagnating!

Thus, a vast, boundless, mountain-heavy pressure suddenly descended, as if an entire giant peak was pressing down, fiercely suppressing Lu Ming and True Person Tianxing!

The two immediately felt their bodies sink, their surrounding spiritual light flickered violently, and their Dharma power also became sluggish.

True Person Tianxing's veins bulged on his forehead, and the circumference of heavenly stars ring flickered erratically, seemingly contending with the boundless pressure.

Lu Ming was even worse off; he let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face appropriately showed a hint of "panic" and "unwillingness."

And this scene, in the eyes of the Disciples below, was two Golden Core Immortals who had just been so aggressive, now trembling and tottering under the Divine Might of their own Grand Array!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourselves!"

"To dare provoke the Grand Elder, you're truly seeking death!"

"The Grand Elder's immortal might is unparalleled, his Dharma power boundless!"

"…"

Waves of mockery and flattery came from below.

Normally, how would they dare to openly humiliate Golden Core Immortals? Were they tired of living too long?

But now it was different; both were suppressed by the Grand Array, and with the Grand Elder's temperament, he would certainly not let them off. They had caught a good opportunity, so they might as well quickly mock them to vent their inner frustration.

Their mood had been bad recently, and seeing Golden Core Immortals in such a sorry state now, they all felt their Dao Heart become clear.

And when Cheng Qingxuan saw the two's "struggle" gradually weaken, as if they were powerless to resist, he felt immense satisfaction and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! You two fools! There's a path to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there's no gate to Hell, yet you insist on barging in! What gave you the courage to enter my Sect alone?"

Looking at the two, Cheng Qingxuan's thoughts became active.

If he could completely capture these two Golden Core Immortals today and confiscate all their possessions, what an enormous amount of resources that would be!

Perhaps, with these resources, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, could advance further, allowing him to glimpse the long-desired Late Golden Core Stage!

Originally, he had given up hope because his Aptitude had reached its limit, but unexpectedly, a new village appeared around the bend; today, two 'wealth-delivering boys' came to the Sect!

As greed arose, his killing intent grew stronger.

A cold glint flashed in Cheng Qingxuan's eyes, and he was about to make a move to finish off the two.

However, an unexpected change suddenly occurred in the field!

Lu Ming, who had originally worn a look of "unwillingness," suddenly curved his lips into a strange smile.

"Cheng Qingxuan, do you think this is over?"

The next moment, a soul devouring banner, entirely black with its surface wreathed in the wails of endless vengeful souls, slowly unfurled behind him.

It was precisely the soul devouring banner!

After nearly a year of "repair" by Ji Ruge, this banner had returned to the third-tier level, and had even reached Medium Grade third-tier!

The soul devouring banner grew with the wind. In an instant, a sinister wind howled, ghosts shrieked and gods wailed, and rolling black mist spread out. Its power actually temporarily resisted part of the Grand Array's suppressing force!

Cheng Qingxuan was first stunned, then his face was covered with horror, and he shrieked in surprise: "soul devouring banner! You, you, you... you are that Devil Head from beyond the domain!!"

He thought this was a carefully designed trap for him, a joint scheme by locals and outsiders to trick him.

But the next moment, he did not sense Mu Han's suffocating pressure, and this soul devouring banner was only Medium Grade third-tier, vastly different from the fearsome demonic banner he knew that Devil Head used.

For a moment, his heart was slightly at ease. After a brief further perception, he immediately put on an arrogant face.

His panic turned into mockery: "Hmph, do you think you can turn the tide with just one Medium Grade third-tier demonic banner? I told you, today, this place will be your burial ground!"

Lu Ming, however, was not flustered at all, and grinned: "Who told you there were only two of us?"
