In the Ancestral Master Hall, the atmosphere was abnormally cold and stifling.
Xuan Yan was tall and solemn to begin with. At this moment, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator enveloped the entire hall.
Xuan Yan's main target was Gao Zhengyang, but the Nascent Soul aura that he emitted was not something that the Palace Masters could bear.
The ten Hall Masters, led by Bai Huan, prostrated themselves on the ground and shivered in fear. Their backs were drenched in sweat. The power of an eleventh-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator destroyed everyone's will.
These Hall Masters could only lie on the ground, their minds filled with endless fear. All the plots and schemes were like a joke under the pressure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong didn't care about these Hall Masters at all, even the Profound Stones, their attention was all on Gao Zhengyang. At this moment, no one cared about the life and death of these outer court disciples.
What surprised Xuan Yan was that Gao Zhengyang stood there steadily. He didn't even deliberately circulate his mana to resist. Only the azure Daoist robe on his body moved even though there was no wind. Divine light circulated and blocked all the pressure on its own.
Xuan Yan tried to activate his power continuously, and Gao Zhengyang's azure Daoist robe also increased in strength, easily resisting the invasion of his power.
Xuan Yan also sensed the power of wind and lightning on the azure Daoist robe during this direct confrontation of power.
The wind and lightning controlled by this Daoist robe was like a cool breeze and flowing lightning, flowing naturally and peacefully, completely lacking the fierceness and fierceness of the wind and lightning.
Xuan Yan was anxious and doubtful in his heart, Gao Zhengyang's azure Daoist robe was clearly a rank 11 God Artifact. Could it be transformed from the Wind Thunder Flag?
Xuan Yan had never seen the Wind Thunder Flag before and did not know what kind of changes the Wind Thunder Flag had. But looking at the pure and thick Wind and Thunder magic power on this Daoist robe, it was undoubtedly the Wind and Thunder Flag.
After he confirmed it, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Transforming the Wind Thunder Flag into a Daoist robe made it much easier to control. It could also be accompanied day and night, ready to defend against external dangers at any time.
After witnessing these benefits of the Wind Thunder Flag, Xuan Yan was very glad that he personally made the trip. If such a divine artifact were to fall into the hands of others, he would die of anger.
Xuan Yan sensed the various changes in the Wind Thunder Flag, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. As for Gao Zhengyang, he didn't care about him at all.
The reason why the other party was able to stand firmly in front of him was because of the power of the Wind Lightning Flag. However, it was a dream to fight him with a Wind Lightning Flag.
He was also not in a hurry to take down Gao Zhengyang. In the Ancestral Hall, it was not convenient to fight. As long as his magical power continued to accumulate, he would eventually break through the defense of the Wind Thunder Flag and crush Gao Zhengyang.
Dealing with a mere Tier Nine, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws would be too unbecoming of him.
Xuan Yan wasn't anxious, but Xuan Tong was a little impatient. Xuan Yan was able to discern that the Daoist robe was transformed from the Tempest Flag, so he was naturally able to discern it as well.
Xuan Tong's heart ached with regret. The Tempest Flag was so miraculous, yet he actually gave it to Xuan Yan so easily. However, it was too late for regrets now.
Right now, he wanted to take down Gao Zhengyang as soon as possible to see what other good stuff he had on him. He couldn't bear Xuan Yan putting on airs and putting on airs no matter what.
"What are you dilly-dallying for? Stop wasting time."
Xuan Tong glanced at Xuan Yan. His old face sank as he slammed the table at Gao Zhengyang and said loudly: "Xuan Yang, I'm asking you a question, you still refuse to admit your guilt!"
Gao Zhengyang's gaze swept over Xuan Tong and Xuan Yan, and said with some amusement: "The two of you came all the way here to interrogate me, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"You abused your authority, embezzled the sect's property, forcibly seized other sects' divine weapons, and destroyed the close relationship between my sect and the Cloud Light Sect and the Iron Armor Sect. You still refuse to admit your guilt! "
Xuan Tong glared at him, and his voice became even louder. In order to increase his imposing manner, he also activated his magical power.
With the two Nascent Soul cultivators working together, the Ancestral Hall was filled with invisible magical power. The Hall Masters who were prostrating on the ground could only lie on the ground motionlessly.
That sorry appearance was like a bunch of dead dogs.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, still had that calm and indifferent look. The magical power of the two Nascent Soul cultivators had no effect on him. On the other hand, divine light circulated on the Tempest Sword Armour, and the power inside had already been stimulated by the two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Tong's eyes turned red. The Tempest Flag was actually able to resist his and Xuan Yan's aura, and didn't even need Gao Zhengyang to activate it, it was truly miraculous.
If he had known earlier, he would have directly gone to the Tempest Sect to rob it. How would it have been Gao Zhengyang's turn to act?
Xuan Tong naturally didn't know that the Tempest Flag was fused by Gao Zhengyang into the Tempest Sword Armour, and also his own Tempest Golden Core, which was why it was so miraculous.
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang didn't speak, Xuan Tong asked proudly: "These are all facts, and the evidence is conclusive, it wasn't your subordinates falsely accusing you, right?"
Xuan Yan also pressured him: "What else do you have to say?"
"What you said, I did it."
Gao Zhengyang didn't defend himself, and directly admitted it.
Xuan Yan originally wanted to question him, but he didn't expect Gao Zhengyang to admit it so easily. He was a bit surprised, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You have committed a great crime, according to the sect's laws, your elder title will be stripped, your cultivation will be restricted, and you will be imprisoned in the Deep Sea Frost Prison for three hundred years."
Xuan Yan said to Gao Zhengyang: "Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I can let you off the hook. You will only be imprisoned for a hundred years. "
"In that case, I have to thank you for your magnanimity."
Gao Zhengyang said, amused.
Gao Zhengyang's mocking and disdainful smile made Xuan Yan very unhappy, and he said with a dark face: "What, you still want to resist?"
Xuan Yan said sternly: "The Law Sword Peak is in charge of the sect's laws. You going against the Law Sword Peak is going against the sect, and you are a traitor of the sect. At that time, it won't be as simple as being imprisoned in the Deep Sea Frost Prison. "
"Oh, what will happen if I resist?" Gao Zhengyang asked curiously.
"If you dare to go against the sect's laws, your body and soul will be destroyed, and you will never be able to reincarnate."
Xuan Yan also didn't want to fight with Gao Zhengyang. The Wind Thunder Flag was in Gao Zhengyang's hands, and if he really fought, what if it was broken?
In fact, he didn't have the authority to kill an elder. If he killed an elder for such a small matter, the sect would have long been in chaos.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong directly dealt with Gao Zhengyang mainly because the power of the Ultimate Sword Peak had declined, and now they only had Yuan Ling to support them. Yuan Ling had a gentle personality and didn't like to fight.
As long as they could successfully take down Gao Zhengyang, Yuan Ling wouldn't say anything else. But if they killed Gao Zhengyang, then the situation would be completely different.
Not to mention Yuan Ling, even the other elders of the sect wouldn't be willing to do it.
With a crime, they could directly kill an elder. With this, who would dare to provoke the Law Sword Peak in the future?
Even the sect master, Xuan Hai, couldn't allow the Law Sword Peak to act recklessly. This had already touched the bottom line of the sect's order, and also destroyed the balance of power in the sect.
Xuan Yan was also very clear about this. He was bullying Gao Zhengyang for being young and ignorant, and for not having a teacher to rely on. He casually scared Gao Zhengyang, hoping to solve this matter as easily as possible.
Xuan Tong was naturally aware of Xuan Yan's plan, but he and Xuan Yan had already discussed it, so he naturally wouldn't ruin his plan.
As long as Gao Zhengyang obediently let himself be captured, there was no need to make things too ugly.
"You guys still left me a way out. Thank you, thank you eighteen generations of your ancestors."
Gao Zhengyang said: "Since that's the case, I'll return the favor and give you a way out."
He grinned at Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong: "Not many can survive under my hands, you two are very lucky."
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong both had gloomy expressions. They weren't surprised by Gao Zhengyang's reaction.
In fact, from the moment Gao Zhengyang didn't come to the shore to greet them, the two already faintly knew Gao Zhengyang's attitude. After Gao Zhengyang arrived at the Ancestral Hall, he didn't have the slightest intention of showing weakness.
It was very obvious that this young man, Gao Zhengyang, was very unconvinced and wanted to fight head-on.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong didn't really want to fight. After all, they were from the same sect, and they were also elders of the Ultimate Sword Peak, so they had to leave some leeway for both sides. But since Gao Zhengyang refused to be captured without putting up a fight, they wouldn't be polite either.
Since they had shed all pretense of cordiality, they instead made up their minds to kill Gao Zhengyang. They wouldn't give this kid the slightest chance to fight back.
Cultivation was a long road, and with how young Gao Zhengyang was, who knew what achievements he would have in the future. They couldn't kill him, but they could destroy Gao Zhengyang's soul so that he couldn't cultivate.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong were both wily old foxes, and with just a glance, they had already reached a tacit understanding.
Xuan Shi, on the other hand, was completely unaware of all this. He was afraid that Gao Zhengyang didn't know his limits and really fought with Xuan Yan. That would be a great crime. He persuaded loudly, "Junior Brother Xuan Yang, your talent is extraordinary. What's there to be afraid of if you make a small mistake? As long as you return to the sect and admit your guilt, you won't be severely punished. "
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Xuan Shi and lightly sighed, "You, you're always unable to understand the situation. Although you don't have bad intentions, you can't do good deeds, and you can't be a good person. "
Xuan Shi was taken aback by Gao Zhengyang's words, he was very puzzled. He had good intentions, but Gao Zhengyang didn't appreciate it at all. In his anger, he simply stopped talking.
He wanted to see what would happen to Gao Zhengyang if he insisted on doing things his own way.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't in a hurry to turn hostile and make a move. He said to Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong, "You've said so much, don't you just want the divine weapon on me?"
Xuan Yan said righteously and sternly, "The Wind Lightning Flag on you was seized by relying on the sect's prestige. It wasn't yours in the first place. We're just taking the divine weapon back and dealing with it later. "
Gao Zhengyang laughed again, "You people are so boring. Didn't two Nascent Soul cultivators cross the sea to come here for the divine weapon? Yet you came up with so many useless charges. "
Xuan Yan sneered. What kind of identity did he have? Seizing something was seizing something, but he couldn't do it without a reason. Directly admitting that he wanted to seize the divine weapon was legally untenable.
As the Peak Master of Magic Sword Peak, finding a reason to accuse him of seizing the divine weapon by force was too unreasonable.
In any case, he held the sect's righteousness in his hands. If Gao Zhengyang dared to go against him, he would be a traitor to the sect, and everyone had the right to punish him. Even if he accidentally killed him, it was pardonable.
Xuan Tong was even more cunning. How could he admit to this kind of thing? He said in a shrill voice, "Kid, you abused your power indiscriminately, embezzled the sect's property, and seized the divine weapon by force. Your methods are greedy and vicious. You even dared to go against the sect's laws, which is an unforgivable crime in itself. Now you still want to make a countercharge, you're dreaming! "
"The two of you are really slick in doing things, not leaving anything behind."
Gao Zhengyang also said it casually, not wanting to get the two to talk.
The order established by a powerful sect was something that even two Nascent Soul cultivators didn't dare to act recklessly. If they wanted to do bad things, they also had to find a reasonable reason to act.
This was also very reasonable. Under the strong order, those who didn't abide by it were all cleaned up. The remaining people would naturally play tricks under the framework of the order. Instead of directly confronting the order.
Gao Zhengyang said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You don't want the divine weapon. This Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk in my hand is also a newly refined divine weapon, I'll also give it to you. "
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he raised the horsetail whisk and activated the Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk's Sea Controlling Divine Power.
The Sea Swallowing Demon Whale could control the sea not because of its huge body, but because of its Innate Divine Power.
The Water-Fire Horsetail Whisk fused with the Demon Core of the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale, and this Innate Divine Power was completely preserved.
The Sea Controlling Divine Power was not simply controlling the sea, but also controlling the endless water essence energy like the sea. This kind of Innate Divine Power was extremely mysterious, but it was far better than all kinds of acquired spells.
The Sea Swallowing Demon Whale didn't have high intelligence, and it could only control the sea by instinct. This Divine Power was completely different in the hands of Gao Zhengyang.
The water essence energy controlled by the Sea Controlling Divine Power fell from the sky like an endless sea.
The dark blue water essence energy was like a real sea, instantly spreading in all directions, drowning the entire Ancestral Master Hall.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong immediately realized that something was wrong. Their bodies shone with divine light, and they each activated their protective magic artifacts.
Although the Heart Sword Sect mainly used flying swords, they also had many protective magic artifacts. Xuan Yan's tenth-stage Heart Light Lamp emitted a three-feet-long clear light, blocking the endless water essence energy outside.
Xuan Tong's protective magic artifact was a jade token. The jade token split into eight sides, blocking all directions, and firmly protecting him in the center.
The two Nascent Soul cultivators had profound foundation, so they easily blocked the Sea Controlling Divine Power. Profound Shi was much weaker. When he was pressed by the water essence energy, he felt like there was a mountain on his body, and his spine was almost broken on the spot.
Profound Shi activated the flying sword, and the strong sword qi barely turned into a protective shield, temporarily withstanding the pressure. However, the light of the sword light shield flickered, and it seemed like it couldn't hold on any longer.
If the dignified ninth-stage Profound Shi was like this, then Bai Huan and the other Palace Masters were even worse. The group of people was already lying on the ground, and now, they were even more miserable after being pressed by the water essence energy that was as heavy as a mountain.
Bai Huan struggled and shouted, "Master, save me …"
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong didn't even look at Bai Huan. It didn't matter if this trash died. With Bai Huan's death, Gao Zhengyang could be charged with killing a fellow disciple.
Bai Huan didn't get any response, and his heart was filled with despair. The other Palace Masters came to their senses as well, and they all screamed for help. Some of them even shouted loudly at Gao Zhengyang, begging Gao Zhengyang to let him off.
"Do all of you know your wrongs?" Gao Zhengyang's voice resounded in the ears of all the Palace Masters, and his tone was extremely rude.
Bai Huan and the other Palace Masters were overjoyed, since Gao Zhengyang was willing to speak, then there was room for discussion. Bai Huan hurriedly took the lead and shouted, "Host, we were wrong, we were wrong, we shouldn't have framed you. We're willing to testify for you, and clear your name … "
At this moment, Bai Huan's mind was instead very clear. He knew that only by saying this would they have value in living, and only then would Gao Zhengyang let them off.
As for what Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong thought, Bai Huan couldn't care less under the pressure of death.
Gao Zhengyang said, "It's good that you've suddenly come to your senses."
Bai Huan and the others relaxed a little. At least Gao Zhengyang's tone had softened, and they had saved their lives.
Gao Zhengyang continued, "However, I won't forgive all of you. Everyone, be good people in your next lives … "
The deep blue water origin power crashed down with a loud bang. The ten Palace Masters, along with the ground, sank more than thirty meters deep.
The vast and mighty water origin power didn't have any other changes, but the superimposed weight was enough to crush all ordinary things.
After Gao Zhengyang released his true power, the Ancestral Hall also began to collapse and shatter.
The walls, pillars, bricks, chairs, incense burners, and so on instantly twisted and shattered under the boundless pressure.
The Heartsword Sect's Ancestral Statue was originally fifteen meters tall, and it was made of pure copper. There were also dust-proof runes carved on the outside.
However, under the pressure of the deep blue water, the tall bronze statue immediately turned into a scarlet copper piece. Under the water pressure, the copper piece rapidly fused with the ground, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
The water pressure increased a hundred times, and the Mystic Stone couldn't withstand it anymore. The sword aura shield immediately shattered. Seeing that it was about to be crushed, the water origin power flicked the Mystic Stone far away.
Gao Zhengyang didn't like the Mystic Stone, and he didn't agree with him. But there was no need to kill him.
In this Divine Realm formed by the water origin power, Gao Zhengyang could control his power at will. He could kill or save anyone with just a thought.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong were in a difficult situation. They were both Nascent Soul Cultivators and famous Overlords in the East Sea.
But in the Imperial Sea Divine Realm, they were at a great disadvantage. The Connate Divine Power of the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale was extremely powerful. Although they were Nascent Soul Cultivators, they were far inferior to the Sea Swallowing Demon Whale in terms of pure power.
Under Gao Zhengyang's control, the Imperial Sea Divine Realm shrank and maintained an area with a radius of a few hundred meters. In this Divine Realm, all external forces were rejected.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong also had their own Nascent Soul Divine Powers, but they were hit by Gao Zhengyang's ultimate move, and it was too late to fight back.
The worst thing was that Gao Zhengyang's control of power was very exquisite. The peerlessly enormous force of water pressure completely pressed down onto Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong's protective magic artifacts soon couldn't withstand the enormous water pressure and began to distort.
The expressions of the two Nascent Soul Cultivators became extremely ugly. The power released by Gao Zhengyang's Water and Fire Horsetail Whisk seemed to be ten times stronger than that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The water origin power kept piling up and pressing down. Such a clumsy and direct method relied on the vigorous and majestic origin power to firmly suppress them.
The heart lamp and the protective jade token shattered into powder almost at the same time.
Xuan Yan and Xuan Tong both activated their flying swords at the first moment, wanting to take advantage of the gap when the magic artifacts exploded to leave. However, the viscous and flexible water element Origin Energy called them glued to the same place.
The flying swords that the two controlled became slower and slower, and after flying for less than ten feet, they were forced to stop where they were.
The water origin power was constantly pressurized, and the two Nascent Soul Cultivators' bodies were overflowing with divine light. Their swords shone brightly, but they couldn't break free from the water origin power's restraint.
Gao Zhengyang separated the layers of water light and walked in front of Xuan Tong and Xuan Yan. "You two dare to covet my divine weapon with just this bit of ability? Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Xuan Tong and Xuan Yan looked at Gao Zhengyang, who was very close to them, but there was nothing they could do. Their flying swords couldn't bear the water pressure any longer.
There was only one way now, abandon their physical bodies and fuse their swords with their Nascent Souls, and they still had a chance to leave. But without a physical body, a Nascent Soul Cultivator would become a rootless tree and wouldn't live for long.
Only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could break free from the restraint of the physical body and survive in the form of a Nascent Soul.
Xuan Yan's square face had been pressed by the water pressure until it was purplish red, and even his body had become purplish red. The blood light, muscles, bones and internal organs in his body had been seriously injured by the water pressure.
If they continued to delay, Gao Zhengyang didn't need to make another move, he and Xuan Tong would be crushed to death.
Xuan Yan struggled and said, "Xuan Yang, you said you wouldn't kill us!"
Before the battle, Gao Zhengyang had said that he would spare their lives. At that time, it sounded like an insult. Now, it was a life-saving straw. Xuan Yan didn't care about his face and took the initiative to bring it up, he only wanted to survive first.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said to Xuan Yan, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, hahaha …"
