Moreover, just by looking at the middle-aged man's appearance, one could tell he had a close relationship with Duan Lingtian. There was a high chance they were related by blood.
If Duan Lingtian really had such a relationship with the leader of a fifth-rate force or above, how could he possibly appear in the Moon Illumination Sect?
The moment Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, and the few Supreme Elders of Moon Illumination Sect thought to themselves.
However, in the next moment, horror dawned on their faces.
This was because they were shocked to discover that the skinny old man's cane had suddenly appeared.
As the skinny old man struck the ground with his walking stick, the area within a hundred meters instantly turned dark, as if night had fallen.
At the same time, withered tree branches shot out from the void as though they had been given life.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The speed of the withered tree branches was so fast that Jiang Wei and the others could not react in time. In just a blink of an eye, Jiang Wei and the others were bound by the flexible withered tree branches.
"Sh * t! My True Origin has been sealed! "
Just as Jiang Wei was about to struggle, his expression changed drastically.
This was because he was shocked to discover that the withered tree branches that bound him actually possessed a sealing energy that suppressed the True Origin in his body, causing him to be unable to mobilize the True Origin in his body.
"My True Origin has been sealed as well!"
"Oh my god! What kind of Territory is this? "
…
At the same time, the few Supreme Elders of Moon Illumination Sect cried out in horror. Their voices were filled with panic and fear.
Even they could not remember when was the last time they were so terrified.
At the same time, when Jiang Wei and the others looked at Ku Mi again, their eyes were filled with terror. Although they knew this skinny old man was not to be trifled with, they did not expect that they would be like three-year-old children in front of an adult. They were completely powerless in front of this skinny old man.
Just by consolidating his Territory, he was able to bind them and control their life and death.
"Lord, I've really never heard of Duan Lingtian before."
Jiang Wei said in a trembling voice.
"Lord, we're really not lying … If you don't believe us, you can ask the other people in our Moon Illumination Sect."
One of the Supreme Elders of Moon Illumination Sect said.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Upon hearing the words of the Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elder, Ku Mi replied in a hoarse voice.
At the same time, his gaze locked onto Jiang Wei. To be more precise, his gaze locked onto Jiang Wei's eyes.
"Look at me!"
After locking his gaze on Jiang Wei's eyes, Ku Mi suddenly shouted in a low voice. His voice seemed to have condensed into a sound line that pierced into Jiang Wei's ears. Jiang Wei was so shocked that he subconsciously looked at Ku Mi and met his eyes.
It was at this moment that Ku Mi's eyes began to shine with a crimson light.
At the same time, two crimson rays shot out from Ku Mi's eyes and pierced into Jiang Wei's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wei's eyes, which had been lively at the beginning, became dull and lifeless.
"This is …"
Upon seeing this, the other few Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders were stunned. Then, as though they had just seen a ghost, they shouted, "Soul Search! It's the Soul Searching Technique! "
"Soul Searching Secret Technique … Impossible! Impossible! "
"How could an expert who has mastered the Soul-Searching Secret Technique appear here?"
…
The few Supreme Elders of the Moon Illumination Sect muttered under their breaths as they watched the scene before their eyes in disbelief.
However, the scene that was deeply reflected in their eyes seemed to tell them that nothing was impossible.
No matter what, the few Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders were Saint Stage powerhouses. They had a certain understanding of the legendary Soul Searching Secret Technique. They knew those who mastered the Soul Searching Secret Technique were all powerful.
Not only did these people mainly cultivate Spiritual Energy and Divine Consciousness, but their cultivation base was also unfathomable!
At the very least, even in the sixth-rate sects, clans, and sixth-rate Saint Nations, there was no one who possessed such a cultivation base.
At this moment, their hearts almost stopped beating.
At this moment, they could not help but recall how the powerhouse who had cast the Soul Searching Secret Technique addressed the middle-aged man. "Lord Mansion Master … Mansion Master … Don't tell me this middle-aged man who looks similar to Duan Lingtian is really the leader of a fifth-rate force or above?"
"That must be it! Only the leader of a fifth-rate force or above would be able to command a powerhouse who has mastered the Soul Searching Secret Technique! "
The moment the few Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders thought of this, despair rose in their hearts.
They knew that in front of the Soul-Searching Secret Technique, Jiang Wei had no secrets to speak of.
Everything Jiang Wei knew, the other party would know as well.
After a while, the crimson ray that shot out from Ku Mi's eyes gradually dimmed. At the same time, he also stopped casting the Soul Searching Secret Technique.
However, his eyes had become exceptionally ice-cold.
"Huh?"
After Ku Mi stopped casting the Soul Searching Secret Technique, Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, had also recovered. He was also confused when he regained his senses.
When he saw Ku Mi staring at him coldly, he said again, "Lord, I've really never heard of Duan Lingtian in our Moon Illumination Sect."
Upon hearing his words, the few Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders had a bitter expression on their faces.
"Sect Leader, it's useless for you to say anything now … This lord has already cast the Soul Searching Secret Technique on you earlier."
One of the Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders said bitterly.
Upon hearing this, horror dawned on Jiang Wei's face. "S-Soul Searching Secret Technique?"
Naturally, he knew what the Soul Searching Secret Technique was.
At the same time, he also knew a powerhouse who could cast the Soul Searching Secret Technique was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, there was no powerhouse at that level even in sixth-rate forces.
Even a sixth-rate force without a powerhouse at that level could easily annihilate a seventh-rate sect like the Moon Illumination Sect.
At once, despair rose in Jiang Wei's heart.
"Lord Mansion Master …"
At this moment, Ku Mi also told Duan Rufeng everything he had learned from Jiang Wei using the Soul Searching Secret Technique.
This included Duan Lingtian's past in the Moon Illumination Sect and everything that happened after that.
He killed Liu Huan, the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage inner court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect.
He killed Qian Kong, the Saint Stage Supreme Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect, with just a sword strike.
Subsequently, he even managed to escape from the hands of a few Saint Stage powerhouses.
Ku Mi also told Duan Lingtian about the extraordinariness of the sword in Duan Rufeng's hand.
During this process, Jiang Wei and the others also heard Ku Mi addressing Duan Lingtian as Young Mansion Master. At once, they learned about the relationship between Duan Lingtian and the middle-aged man whom the skinny old man addressed as Lord Mansion Master. As it turned out, Duan Lingtian was his son.
At this moment, only despair was left in their hearts.
It did not cross their minds that Duan Lingtian would be the son of a leader of a fifth-rate force or above.
"Just like The Oracle Man said, my son is really a person with great fortune … That sword allowed him to display such an attack at the Saint Rudiment Stage. I'm afraid it's even more powerful than the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking!"
Upon hearing Ku Mi's words and learning that Duan Lingtian was safe, Duan Rufeng sighed in relief.
"Lord Mansion Master, they …"
Ku Mi glanced at Jiang Wei and the others indifferently before he respectfully asked for instructions from Duan Rufeng.
"You can deal with them as you deem fit."
Duan Rufeng replied indifferently before he added, "Let's go to the Dragons!"
The moment his words left his mouth, Duan Rufeng vanished into thin air. It was as though he had vanished into thin air before Jiang Wei and the others' eyes.
His speed was so fast that Jiang Wei and the others shuddered in fear.
However, when they saw Ku Mi glaring at them menacingly, horror dawned on them as they cried out in horror, "Lord, please spare our lives! Please spare our lives!"
"We have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended the Young Mansion Master! Lord, please spare our lives for the sake of not harming the Young Mansion Master! "
"Lord, we're willing to help look for the Young Mansion Master!"
…
When Jiang Wei and the others sensed the killing intent emitting from Ku Mi, they began to beg for mercy.
At this moment, the so-called dignity of a Saint Stage powerhouse was completely thrown to the back of their minds.
To them, nothing was important in the face of their lives.
Being alive was the only thing that mattered.
If a person died, there would be nothing left.
This was especially true for Saint Stage powerhouses like them. Only they knew how difficult it was to get to where they were now.
They were really unwilling to die just like that.
"Noisy!"
The instant Ku Mi spoke coldly, he did not seem to have made any movement. However, the dead branches that grew out of thin air within a 100-meter radius seemed to have transformed into pythons as they swept toward Jiang Wei and the others.
In just a few moments, Jiang Wei and the others were crushed into minced meat. They could not be any more dead!
At the same time, Ku Mi also followed Duan Rufeng.
After Ku Mi left, the sky within a 100-meter radius that seemed to have fallen into darkness finally regained its light.
The countless dead branches in the dark night disappeared as well.
Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, and the few remaining Supreme Elders of Moon Illumination Sect had also completely disappeared from this world.
Naturally, the people from Moon Illumination Sect did not notice this at the moment.
After some time, the people from the Moon Illumination Sect discovered that their Sect Leader, Jiang Wei, and a few other Supreme Elders had disappeared into thin air. They had disappeared without a trace.
Without the support of the Saint Stage powerhouses, it was only natural that the Moon Illumination Sect began to decline. It was no longer as glorious as before.
Naturally, all of this was a story for later.
At the border of the vast desert to the south of Windfall Nation, a travel-worn figure had also arrived today.
"This is Windfall Nation?"
The person who arrived was none other than Duan Lingtian who had crossed the vast desert from the Nine Sect Alliances' district to Windfall Nation.
Duan Lingtian stood in the sky above the Windfall Nation's border and looked ahead. All he could see was an oasis. It was like a completely different world from the desert behind him.
"Let's continue forward and ask someone for directions to the capital of Windfall Nation."
