Chapter 86: The Ancestor’s Attack
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Let’s just kill him. It’s just death. The Xia Family is made up of warriors. How can we be held hostage by a traitor?”
Initially, Liu Yu was very confused by what he saw in the hall.
But he quickly understood what was going on.
There was a traitor within the Xia Family.
He couldn’t bear seeing how arrogant that traitor, Xia Yun, was.
Some of the elders there replied, “Yes, we can’t be held hostage by a traitor. Even if we spare him, he can’t guarantee that the others in Bailing Valley won’t be killed. It’s not the first time we know about the Honghai Sacred Ground. They are so ruthless that they don’t even spare their own elders.”
“Let’s kill him and find our ancestor to find out what is going on.”
“Now, our Xia family should be on guard against the Honghai Sacred Ground’s attack. Keeping such a traitor alive will only be detrimental to us.”
“Even if we die, we must bring the Honghai Sacred Ground down with us.”
…
The members of the Xia Family were all rather agitated.
Their swords were pointed directly at Xia Yun.
“You can’t kill me!”
Xia Yun became rather anxious when he looked at the swords held by the elders who wanted to kill him.
What was the point of having such a high level of cultivation?
Wasn’t it just for comfort and enjoyment?
He hadn’t even had time to enjoy it yet!
Instead, he was now so scared and regretful!
It was a pity it was too late.
“Go and die!”
Whoos.h.!.+
Some of the long swords pierced through Xia Yun’s body.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Yun’s body was punctured by the long swords. He looked just like a hedgehog.
He was dead.
But there was still a lot of hatred remaining in the Xia Family.
“Let’s go find the ancestor!”
Ooh la la!
A group of elders headed to the Forbidden Ground.
At the same time, several elders informed the rest of the Xia Family to prepare for battle.
The whole Xia family started to become nervous.
Many elders and disciples who were in retreat came out of the Forbidden Ground one after another.
After one day, many of the people in the Xia Family were still not ready for war.
Countless of masters from the Sacred Ground gathered outside of Bailing Valley.
At the same time, the disciples from the Sacred Ground brought a group of people past Muguang Mountain and headed straight to the South Continent.
Suddenly, a shout echoed in Bailing Valley.
“Ancestor of the Xia Family, come out and face your death!”
Boom!
The booming voice rang out loudly across the valley towards the Xia Family members.
Countless people in the Xia Family were shocked.
“Is that Qiu Shuzhen’s voice?”
“The Honghai Sacred Ground is here!”
Suddenly, everyone in the Xia Family started to panic.
The Honghai Sacred Ground was very powerful and had two Virtual Realm masters.
Meanwhile, their ancestor had only just broken through to the Virtual Realm recently. How could they be their match?
What was more was that all the information regarding the Xia Family had been sold to the Honghai Sacred Ground by Xia Yu.
Before the war had even started, the morale of the Xia Family was already falling.
“Everyone, quickly enter the Forbidden Ground in the back mountain,” the Great Elder said.
…
“Are you scared? Let me kill your descendants and see if you will still remain in hiding!” an elder of the Sacred Ground said arrogantly.
“In that case, you can go ahead, Elder Borer!” Qiu Shuzhen yelled back as he stared at the Elder Borer.
“I…”
“Don’t worry. I will take care of that person together with my ancestor. As long as you enter the Xia Family, everything you grab is yours,” Qiu Shuzhen said as he looked around.
“Sectmaster, I will go too!” Elder Gongshan said excitedly.
“I’m going to fight too!”
“I’ll go too!” The other City Lord and his disciples all volunteered to join.
“Okay! Attack the Xia Family and take whatever you can. I will deal with the ancestor of the Xia Family.”
“Let’s kill them!”
Soon, only Elder Mu and a few city lords remained standing beside Qiu Shuzhen.
Qiu Shuzhen narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people.
Raising his palm, he started to destroy the formations in place.
He had mastered all of Bailing Valley’s formations and defensive spells a long time ago.
Click!
The hallucination formation collapsed and the true appearance of Bailing Valley was exposed.
“Woohoo!” The people from the Sacred Ground cheered. The masters stared at Bailing Valley like hungry wolves.
A bloodthirsty gaze filled their red eyes.
Qiu Shuzhen raised his palm again and this time, he broke Xia Family’s defensive formation.
“Let’s kill them!”
All the masters from the Sacred Ground rushed into the Xia Family’s house.
“Let’s kill them!”
Several elders of the Xia Family drew their swords and took advantage of the lingering defense formation.
“Descendants of the Honghai Sacred Ground, prepare to die!”
The first elder of the Xia Family rushed into the center of the Honghai Sacred Ground masters and started attacking them.
The Honghai Sacred Ground retaliated.
Almost immediately, the elder of the Xia Family was chopped into pieces by the masters of the Honghai Sacred Ground.
“Everyone else, withdraw into the Forbidden Ground. Use the defense formation there.”
This delay gave the other elders of the Xia Family time to retreat.
At this point, the rest of Bailing Valley’s formations were unable to stop Qiu Shuzhen.
They could only hope that when the formation broke, their ancestor would be alerted.
But what was the use of alerting their ancestor?
He would only die together with them.
They hoped that their ancestor would escape and try to avenge them in the future instead.
The best solution at the moment was to rely on the two of the Xia Family’s Forbidden Grounds to defend and kill as many of the Honghai Sacred Ground’s disciples as possible.
The masters of Honghai Sacred Ground swarmed forward.
The master next to Qiu Shuzhen left, leaving only Qiu Shuzhen alone.
“Hmph! After I capture the ancestor of the Xia Family, I will be able to improve my cultivation slightly.”
Qiu Shuzhen was eager to get a hold of his skill.
Even though it was only the skill of a half-step Virtual Realm, it was still rather significant.
There was killing everywhere.
The elders of the Xia Family fought desperately for their lives.
However, it was still difficult to defend against the soldiers of Honghai Sacred Ground.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Instantly, the Xia Family’s masters were all forced to retreat into the Forbidden Ground.
The ground was full of blood.
The Xia Family only managed to hold back the Honghai Sacred Ground for now by relying on the defense formations in the Forbidden Ground.
“How many Perfected Persons are still alive?” The Great Elder asked.
“Grandfather was just killed!”
“The three ancestors died while killing a disciple from the Honghai Sacred Ground!”
Liu Yu conducted a quick head count and, with red eyes, said, “There are still thirty-five Perfected Persons left. But every one of them is injured.”
“Thirty-five people! Haha! We need to use them to kill thirty-five Perfected Persons from the Honghai Sacred Ground. Otherwise, we are doomed,” the Great Elder said as blood trickled out of his mouth.
“Kill them! The Xia Family can’t hold on for much longer!”
“Their ancestor doesn’t dare to retaliate. Let’s attack!” Elder Gongshan said with a smile.
He had been cautious while attacking just now as he feared that the Virtual Realm master from the Xia Family would take action.
Otherwise, they would have killed the Perfected Persons from the Xia Family long ago. How else would they have had the time to enter the Forbidden Ground?
There was no need for Elder Gongshan to prompt them any further.
Several other masters had already rushed towards the Forbidden Ground.
Whoos.h.!.+
All of a sudden, sword qi rushed through the air.
Whoos.h.!.+
The elders who were closer to the Forbidden Ground were all sliced in half.
Hundreds of corpses fell onto the ground.
Most of the masters from the Honghai Sacred Ground died before they even had time to react.
In the Forbidden Ground, Li Mu gently shook his head.
After checking in, he had taken a short nap, and now, he was woken up by the people attacking.
The round plate in his hand made him so immersed in it that he momentarily forgot about the outside world.
The higher his cultivation level, the more he could sense a difference in this round plate.
Where had Old Demon Han gone to?
He was thinking about which Perfected Person’s cavern he had found this object in when the noise outside interrupted his thoughts.
If it wasn’t for the Baishan City Lord who had been hiding behind and another suspected South Continent native, the group of Perfected Persons would have all been destroyed by his sword qi.
No one was left!
