Chapter 491: Bing Yan: I Object
"Do you think the Bright Sword Sect will admit defeat?"
"I doubt it. After all, the Bright Sword Sect is the leader among the six Half-Saint forces. They will never admit defeat easily."
"..."
The crowd of onlookers buzzed with discussion, their opinions varying.
The cultivators from the other four major forces had varied expressions; some were dejected, some resigned, and some relieved.
The disciples of the Extreme Cold Sect were feeling mixed emotions at this moment. Amidst their helplessness, there was a sliver of relief. Even the Formless Great Sage had been so easily defeated by the Wolf God Great Sage.
Even if their own sect's Great Sages joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent. The frustrating part was that they now had to hand over their Saint Artifact.
Without the Saint Artifact, their Extreme Cold Sect would likely fall into decline within a thousand years.
After all, the Saint Artifact was a treasure that could help Marquises comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.
The six major forces were able to stand unshakable in the northwest of Xuan Zhou precisely because each possessed a Saint Artifact.
The North Desert Sect Master said with a smile: "Sect Master Liu, how has your Bright Sword Sect decided?"
"Hmph!"
Sect Master Liu snorted coldly: "We sword cultivators only know death in battle. There is no such thing as lingering on in a cowardly existence. If you want the Saint Seed of my Bright Sword Sect, then you will have to fight for it."
"Good!"
The North Desert Sect Master said with an excited expression: "Worthy of the Bright Sword Sect! This Sect Master has waited for this day for a long time. Today, this Sect Master will see just how strong your Bright Sword Sect's Great Sages truly are!"
Sect Master Liu did not speak. He turned and bowed slightly to the elder beside him.
"Ancestor, I must trouble you."
"It's no matter."
The Nameless Great Sage spoke and then walked toward the sky. He stepped onto the clouds and bowed slightly toward the blood coffin: "Senior, this junior has one sword to offer for your appraisal. If you can receive this sword, my Bright Sword Sect will admit defeat."
"Very well."
The Wolf God Great Sage said plainly: "It has been a long time since this old man has seen the ultimate arts of the Divine Sword Sacred Ground. I wonder which sword you learned from the Divine Sword Sacred Ground."
"In reply to Senior, this junior learned the Heavenly Sword from the Heavenly Sword God. I ask for Senior's guidance."
As the Nameless Great Sage spoke, his pressure instantly erupted. A terrifying aura instantly enveloped a radius of several thousand li.
The swords in the hands of the many cultivators, sensing this aura, let out a chorus of sword cries from within their scabbards.
The Nameless Great Sage did not draw his sword, but at this moment, he himself was a peerless divine weapon, incomparably sharp.
"Are you using the Soul Sword?"
There was a hint of excitement in the Wolf God Great Sage's tone.
"Senior has a discerning eye."
As the Nameless Great Sage spoke, his soul flew out from his body.
"Heavenly Sword Slash!"
As the words fell, his soul shot straight into the sky. Immediately, the situation in the sky changed dramatically. A giant sword was seen descending from the heavens.
It was a divine sword that could cleave the firmament and destroy the earth.
Before the sword fell, its sword energy arrived first, sealing the entire blood coffin.
This sword was unavoidable for the Wolf God Great Sage.
The Wolf God Great Sage had no intention of fleeing either, saying with a smile: "A bit interesting. It's a pity that the true meaning of the Great Dao you have comprehended is still too meager. Otherwise, you could have had a satisfying fight with this old man."
As the words fell, the blood coffin suddenly opened by a third.
A vast aura burst forth from the blood coffin, directly dispersing the sword energy.
Next, that familiar hand reached out from the blood coffin and grabbed at the descending Heavenly Sword.
The unstoppable Heavenly Sword was easily caught by that hand, unable to move another inch.
Crack!
The withered-wood-like hand exerted a slight force and shattered the Heavenly Sword in its grasp.
Pfft…
The Nameless Great Sage immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood, his figure swaying unsteadily in the sky.
"Senior's cultivation is profound and unfathomable. This junior is utterly convinced of his defeat."
As the words fell, the entire area fell silent.
Although many present had guessed that the Nameless Great Sage would be defeated, none had imagined he would be defeated so thoroughly!
The Bright Sword Sect's Master, seated on the high platform, saw this scene and subconsciously closed his eyes. He slumped weakly in his chair, as if his entire being had been hollowed out.
"The Ancestor is invincible!"
The North Desert Sect Master was the first to shout loudly.
Hearing this, the disciples of the North Desert Sect also began to shout loudly.
"The Ancestor is invincible!"
"The Ancestor is eternally victorious!!!"
"..."
The disciples of the five Half-Saint forces saw this scene, and each of them showed envious expressions, but they could only envy.
The blood coffin closed once more.
The North Desert Sect Master asked, full of high spirits: "From this day forward, for one jiazi, the North Desert Sect will be supreme in the northwest of Xuan Zhou. Who agrees, and who objects?"
Although these words were arrogant, the leaders of the other four major forces chose to acquiesce.
The supporters of the North Desert Sect directly shouted: "We support the North Desert Sect Master!"
Just then, a cold voice sounded inopportunely.
"I object."
As these words came out, the entire crowd was shocked. Everyone looked toward the direction the voice came from.
When they saw that the speaker was actually the young lady of the Extreme Cold Sect, incredulous expressions appeared on all their faces.
The most surprised were the disciples of the Extreme Cold Sect. They had thought that after returning this time, they would become the laughingstock of the other five factions.
But no one had expected that this young lady would make trouble again.
Damn it, what on earth was she thinking?
The North Desert Sect Master narrowed his eyes, looking at Bing Yan, and said with a sneer: "Young Lady Bing, are you perhaps intending to go back on your word? Today, the ancestor of my North Desert Sect is here. Even if a Great Sage from the Wen Dao Academy were to come, they might not be able to protect you."
"When did I say I was going to go back on my word?"
Bing Yan retorted coldly.
"Then you mean you wish to challenge my North Desert Sect's ancestor?"
The contempt on the North Desert Sect Master's face became even more undisguised. In his view, even if the other party was a Great Sage from the Wen Dao Academy, they were merely a newly ascended one. How could they be qualified to fight the Wolf God Great Sage?
Bing Yan: "Indeed. Or do you think that I, Bing Yan, am a prodigal daughter who would personally hand over my Extreme Cold Sect's Saint Artifact for nothing?"
Hiss…
Hearing this, the crowd gasped. Their gazes toward Bing Yan were extremely complex.
Especially the disciples of the Extreme Cold Sect. They had thought this young lady was a woman without courage, but they never imagined she would make such a move.
In contrast, the group of elders from the Extreme Cold Sect all had excited expressions on their faces. They had finally waited for this moment.
After feeling so stifled for so long today, they could finally hold their heads high.
"Good, good, good!"
The North Desert Sect Master exclaimed repeatedly: "Since Young Lady Bing seeks her own doom, don't blame my North Desert Sect for not leaving you a way out. Old Ancestor Qian Shan, I must trouble you to suppress this woman."
"As you command."
The Qian Shan Great Sage saw no problem with this. A minor character like this did not require the ancestor to make a move.
Bing Yan, however, turned to Chu Feng beside her and said: "Husband, I must trouble you."
Chu Feng, fanning the feather fan in his hand, said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter. Besides, I also want to see what kind of existence is inside that blood coffin."
As the words fell, Chu Feng stood up and stepped into the void. Seeing this scene, the crowd present could not help but be slightly stunned...
