59: sneak attack

"beast, you are looking for death! How dare you kill my grandson!"

The Grand Elder let out a furious roar, and the cold, glinting battle sword in his hand swung out. The sharp Sword Qi, carrying a brilliant and dazzling light, instantly slashed toward Yang Lingchen with fierce speed.

"Old thing who doesn't know better."

Yang Lingchen's eyes turned cold as he quickly unleashed a soul-stirring Soul Devouring Slash. Instantly, the Grand Elder fell into a daze.

"Swish... Swish... Swish...!"

"Go to hell!" A cold light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes as that mysterious immortal demon sword instantly slashed out several incomparably sharp streaks of Sword Qi.

"Bang... Bang... Bang...!"

In an instant, Sikong Guan's body was torn into pieces, and bright red blood scattered across the ground. With a cultivation level only at the first layer of the Gui Xuan Realm, how could Sikong Guan possibly be a match for Yang Lingchen?

At this moment, everyone on the scene was shocked! Everyone wore expressions of extreme disbelief. In their eyes, the Grand Elder had always been an existence high above, like a god! They never expected him to be unable to withstand even a single strike from Yang Lingchen.

"Didn't you leave?"

Although Dongfang Yunbing's voice was still cold, she was extremely excited deep down.

"Revered Master, I still want to Cultivate with you for a lifetime!" Yang Lingchen said with a grin.

"Then what were you doing just now?"

Dongfang Yunbing's tone was unfriendly; she had thought Yang Lingchen had secretly run away just now.

"Just now, this Disciple went to set up a Formation. Now, everyone doesn't need to worry; they shouldn't even think about charging in." Yang Lingchen's face showed an expression of supreme confidence.

"You know how to set up Formations?" A deep sense of surprise flickered in Dongfang Yunbing's eyes.

"This Disciple knows many things; otherwise, how could I be your man?" Yang Lingchen said boldly, biting the bullet.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen didn't want to hide their relationship anymore. Since the high-level members of the Heavenly Origin Palace were all present, he took the opportunity to announce it. At worst, he would just get a severe beating from her.

"Whoa...!"

The high-level members of the Heavenly Origin Palace on the scene were shocked. One by one, they stared at Dongfang Yunbing in a daze, as if they were all anxiously waiting for her response.

"This news is just too shocking!"

"They are Revered Master and Disciple! How can they do this?"

Especially Dongfang Jie; his eyes were bulging so much they almost rolled out.

How the hell was he supposed to get revenge in the future? This kid had become his Uncle-in-law.

Meanwhile, Ling Yanyun and Lin Yurou both covered their mouths, staring at the two of them in disbelief.

Dongfang Yunbing gave Yang Lingchen a harsh glare, then said in a cold voice, "From today onwards, Yang Lingchen is no longer this Palace's Disciple, because he is my... man."

"Aunt, I object." Dongfang Jie stood up with a face full of grievance.

He was raised by Dongfang Yunbing, so his feelings for his aunt were very deep.

Over ten years ago, the Dongfang Family encountered a vicious arch-enemy and was wiped out overnight. At that time, the only twelve-year-old Dongfang Yunbing fled to Nanzhou in a panic with the five-year-old Dongfang Jie.

Relying on her extraordinary world-shaking talent, Dongfang Yunbing became the Palace Revered Master of Heavenly Origin Palace at the age of twenty. She was only twenty-six years old now.

"Objection overruled. If you keep chirping, don't blame your Uncle-in-law for giving you a good beating." Yang Lingchen said with the air of a superior lecturing a Junior.

"You..." Dongfang Jie's eyes were burning with fire. At this moment, he was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

"Yang Lingchen, come with me to check the situation." Dongfang Yunbing's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from the hall.

In this situation, it was very awkward for her to continue staying here.

"Good nephew, your Uncle-in-law is leaving now. I'll prepare a meeting gift for you later." Yang Lingchen quickly used his Movement Technique to catch up.

Everyone on the scene stood there stunned and bewildered.

By this time, the defensive formation around the Heavenly Origin Palace had been activated, and the entire Mountain Gate was shrouded in layers of mist. Even if the enemy wanted to launch a fierce attack from the air, they wouldn't be able to get in... "Brother Huang, we simply cannot break this defensive formation. What should we do?" Feng Wuji said with a deep frown.

"Strange. As far as I know, the Heavenly Origin Palace shouldn't have a defensive formation!" Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect said with a puzzled expression.

"What do we do now? We can't just wait here like this!" Luo Tianming said in a heavy voice.

The Sect Leader of Tiantian Sect, Duanmu Ce, spoke up, "It's fine. To keep such a defensive formation running requires countless precious Spirit Stones. With the Heavenly Origin Palace's shallow foundation, it probably won't last more than a few days."

Duanmu Ce continued with a smile, "When the time comes, with Sikong Guan working from the inside, as long as we capture Dongfang Yunbing alive, the Crown Prince Your Highness will surely reward us handsomely."

"Brilliant! Brother Duanmu's move is truly exquisite! I wonder if the experts arranged by the Prince have arrived?" Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, the Prince's people have already arrived." Duanmu Ce said... "Yang Lingchen, this defensive formation of yours won't last long, right?" Dongfang Yunbing frowned slightly.

"Yeah... well, I spent twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on this! Revered Master, you have to reimburse me!" Yang Lingchen looked like his heart was aching over the cost.

"Over twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones? How could I possibly produce that?" Dongfang Yunbing's brows knitted tightly.

"It's fine if you don't have it. In the future, let this Disciple be on top..."

*Slap!*

Before Yang Lingchen could finish his sentence, he received a slap.

"If a man has no strength, then stay down there honestly. Understand?"

"Understood." Yang Lingchen quickly changed the subject and said, "Revered Master, how about we sneak out and kill Feng Wuji and Luo Tianming?"

"Wouldn't that be too risky?" Dongfang Yunbing said.

"We'll disguise ourselves first, then sneak out from the back and find a chance to get close to them. Once we kill them, we'll run back into the defensive formation." Yang Lingchen said.

"Alright then. Do you know how to disguise yourself?" Dongfang Yunbing asked.

"Of course!" Yang Lingchen performed the Shadow Shifting technique, instantly transforming into a rugged man in his thirties.

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this? It's so miraculous!" Dongfang Yunbing's face showed an expression of extreme surprise.

"Want to learn?" Yang Lingchen said with a smirk.

"Yes." Dongfang Yunbing nodded.

"Then tonight..."

"What do you want to do tonight?" Dongfang Yunbing said coldly.

"Tonight, I'll teach you." Yang Lingchen quickly corrected himself.

"Then how is this Palace supposed to go out and kill like this?" Dongfang Yunbing said.

"I have a way. This is a Disguise Pill; just rub it on your face. I'll help you."

Yang Lingchen took out a strangely colored Disguise Pill, pulled off Dongfang Yunbing's veil, and then very carefully applied it directly to her face.

"Alright, it's done. You just need to change your clothes." Yang Lingchen said.

"Stinky brat, I'm not done with you! You actually dared to make my face full of freckles." Dongfang Yunbing scolded.

"Revered Master, don't be Life Qi. I'm doing this for safety's sake as well."

Soon, the two of them finished changing their clothes and then secretly slipped out from the back mountain of the Heavenly Origin Palace. With their current strength, it was very difficult for ordinary people to notice them.

Before long, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain of the Heavenly Origin Palace. At this time, tens of thousands of people were stationed in front of the Heavenly Origin Palace's Mountain Gate; these were all Disciples of the Four Great Sects.

The reason Yang Lingchen and his companion could get close was that he claimed he could break the Formation, so the people from the Demon Cloud Sect let them through.

"Sect Leader, there is a man and a woman here who say they can break the Formation." A Demon Cloud Sect Disciple bowed toward the Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect.

"Call them over." Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect said in a heavy voice.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Subsequently, that Demon Cloud Sect Disciple quickly led Yang Lingchen and Dongfang Yunbing over.

"You know how to break Formations?" Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect frowned.

"Sect Leader Huang, rest assured. We two have studied Formations for dozens of years; breaking this kind of Formation is no problem at all." Yang Lingchen had a calm and composed manner.

"Very good. If you break the defensive formation, this Sect Leader will reward you handsomely." Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect laughed.

Then, under the leadership of the Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect, Yang Lingchen and Dongfang Yunbing came to the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Origin Palace.

"Brother Feng, Brother Luo, let these two Great Masters of Formations give it a try." Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect said.

At this time, Feng Wuji and Luo Tianming were racking their brains studying the Formation.

"Alright. Then let them try!" Feng Wuji said in a heavy voice.

"Swish... Swish... Swish...!"

In an instant, the light of blades and shadows of swords intertwined, and violent Sword Qi ran rampant.

Yang Lingchen and Dongfang Yunbing suddenly lunged, and in an instant, they ruthlessly slit the throats of Feng Wuji and Luo Tianming.

"You... you..." Feng Wuji and Luo Tianming looked unwilling as they slowly collapsed. They truly hadn't expected that they would die here so inexplicably.

"Swish... Swish... Swish...!"

Sword shadows layered upon each other as Yang Lingchen brandished the immortal demon sword, quickly and fiercely attacking the Sect Master of Demon Cloud Sect.

At this time, Duanmu Ce, who was not far away, also realized something was wrong and immediately rushed toward Dongfang Yunbing to kill her.

However, to their surprise, Yang Lingchen and Dongfang Yunbing were actually suppressing and pummeling the two of them.

Just as Dongfang Yunbing was about to kill Duanmu Ce, an extremely terrifying Sword Qi slashed over from a distance.

Dongfang Yunbing quickly dodged, and only then was Duanmu Ce's life saved.

"Courting death!"

A sharp shout rang out, and two masked men with terrifying auras quickly charged toward them.
