Gathering the power of a few elders, Wei Hai Zhi pushed the power of the Green Rainbow Sect's Dao Artifact to its limit.
The green bronze mirror floated in the air, and a dim light shone from it.
Then, as if the vast light had gathered into a terrifying eye, a terrifying power shot out from the eye.
"Come at me!"
The old Daoist's expression became serious. He slowly struck out with his palm, and his power was like a mountain toppling the sea. The palm aura grew to a size of over a hundred feet, and an aura that could crush the void erupted.
Bang!
With a palm strike, the dim light shattered.
The huge eye that had been condensed forcefully withstood the attack.
Then.
The eyes of the dark light were filled with cracks, as if they would shatter at any moment.
However, as Wei Hai Zhi's true essence surged in, the cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this.
The old Daoist flicked his sleeve, and a vast amount of astral energy blasted out, once again extinguishing the dim light that shot out from his eyes.
In the next moment.
A vast spirit god spread out from his body, and then he reached out with his palm from his sleeve, imprinting it in a mysterious trajectory.
A cool breeze rose from the ground.
In an instant, it swept out in all directions.
All the disciples of the Green Rainbow Sect who were affected stood rooted to the ground. In the next second, they saw their bones and flesh turn into dust and dissipate into the air.
At this moment.
The green bronze mirror shone brightly, as if it had sensed some terrifying threat.
The eyes formed by the dim light erupted with strong fluctuations, trying to block the old Daoist's attack, but to no avail.
Shatter!
Starting from the corner of the eyes, it was like a ceramic plate that was destroyed inch by inch.
Seeing this scene, Wei Hai Zhi could not care less about the grief in his heart. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something and cried out in shock, "Bone Piercing Breeze, Nirvana World, this is the Dao Art of Qing Wei."
"You are Daoist Lord Qingwei!"
At this moment, Wei Hai Zhi was truly shocked.
If he didn't know the old Daoist's identity before, then when he saw this move, he already had an answer in his heart.
Daoist Lord Qingwei!
It was rumored that the other party had already reached the peak of the Divine Martial Realm three hundred years ago, and had completely disappeared one hundred and fifty years ago.
Many people guessed that the other party might have died from the exhaustion of his lifespan.
But now, it seemed that Daoist Lord Qingwei hadn't died at all. Instead, he had killed his way to the Green Rainbow Sect.
After receiving this news, Wei Haizhi felt even more despair.
The Two Seal Dao Artifact combined with the strength of the Green Rainbow Sect, even if it was above the seventh level of the Divine Martial Realm, even if it was an expert who had stepped into the late stage of the Divine Martial Realm, they would still be able to deal with it.
As for ordinary warriors of the Divine Martial Realm, he could kill them directly.
This was the strength of the great sects of Spirit Realm.
However …
If he wanted to deal with a peak Divine Martial expert, especially one as old as Daoist Lord Qingwei, he would be unable to do so.
Unless the Green Rainbow Sect could control a three seal Dao Artifact, they might still have the power to fight.
It was a pity.
The Green Rainbow Sect did not.
The old Daoist, Daoist Lord Qing Wei, turned a blind eye to Wei Haizhi's shock. He used the Qing Wei Daoist Art to shatter the eye formed by the azure mirror. Then, he used his finger to gather a vast amount of power and unleashed it.
Boom!!
The finger energy shattered the void and blasted toward the green bronze mirror.
At this moment.
The power of the peak of the Divine Martial Force was fully displayed.
Wei Haizhi and the others poured their Quintessential Essence into the azure mirror, wanting to block Daolord Qing Wei's attack.
However …
The difference in strength between the two was simply too great.
Boom!
A terrifying force bombarded the azure mirror, causing it to shine brightly. Then, it dimmed and was forcefully fixed in midair by a force.
As for Wei Haizhi and the others, they all spat out a mouthful of blood and were severely injured.
"Since the Yuan Pavilion won't give you the divine technique, why do you have to destroy my Green Rainbow Sect!" Wei Haizhi clutched his chest with one hand as he stared at Daolord Qing Wei. Even now, he still didn't understand why the other party had made a move.
If the Yuan Pavilion didn't give him the divine technique, could it be that an expert at the peak of the Divine Martial Force would be tempted by other things?
While he was speaking.
Daolord Qing Wei had already made his move once again, and the terrifying power completely engulfed him.
However, before his divine sense completely dissipated, Wei Haizhi heard a sentence.
"Who asked the mission to destroy the Green Rainbow Sect to give the most contribution points!"
The contribution points given were the most!
Before Wei Haizhi died, he finally knew the reason why the other party had targeted the Green Rainbow Sect.
Even though there were tens of thousands of thoughts and regrets in his heart, they were useless at this moment.
With a loud bang, Wei Haizhi and the other elders of the Green Rainbow Sect were completely annihilated at the hands of Daolord Qing Wei.
Subsequently.
A huge Spirit God rose from Daolord Qing Wei's body, and then a terrifying Spirit Sense swept out, covering the entire Green Rainbow Sect.
Immediately after, the Spirit God exploded.
Under the terrifying impact of the spiritual will, everyone in the Green Rainbow Sect, from top to bottom, lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.
It was only a breath or two.
There was no longer a single living being in the Green Rainbow Sect.
Daolord Qing Wei smiled and muttered to himself, "This time, the sect extermination mission should be completed!"
With that, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
Very quickly, the news of the Green Rainbow Sect's destruction spread.
Although the destruction of a large sect in the Spirit Realm was not enough to affect the entire cultivation world, it was still enough to shake a prefecture.
However —
The Green Rainbow Sect was just the beginning.
Following Yuan Pavilion's announcement of the bounty, a total of 13 sects had been destroyed in less than three days.
This time, the remaining twenty sects were scared out of their wits. Then, they hurriedly sent people to the Yuan Sect to seek peace.
Liang Mountain Spirit Domain.
Yuan Sect.
After spending a lot of time, Qin Shujian used up all the materials in several storage rings. In the end, he refined seven hundred thousand identity tokens and finally ended his seclusion.
Just as he walked out of the forbidden area, he bumped into Xu Yuanming.
"Sect Master!" When he saw Qin Shujian, Xu Yuanming was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"You came at the right time. Here are seven hundred thousand identity tokens. If they are distributed to the various Yuan Pavilions, it should be enough to alleviate the urgent situation."
Qin Shujian directly handed the five storage rings to Xu Yuanming.
Hearing this.
Xu Yuanming immediately took the storage rings and solemnly put them away.
Then, the two of them walked and chatted.
Qin Shujian also needed to understand what had happened in the Yuan Sect during this period of time.
"During this period of time, have there been any unusual movements? How are the matters of the fifty-one sects being handled?"
"This matter is about to be reported to the Sect Master."
"Tell me."
"Yes —"
Xu Yuanming did not hesitate and told him everything that had happened in the Yuan Sect during this period of time.
Including the matter of the various sects imitating the Yuan Pavilion and the Yuan Pavilion's bounty.
In the end.
Xu Yuanming lowered his head and said, "This time, I used the Divine Connection cultivation method as bait without permission. I hope the Sect Master will not blame me!"
"What crime is there?" Qin Shujian shook his head, then smiled faintly and said, "Whether it is the Divine Connection cultivation method or other treasures, it is most useful to be able to turn it into an advantage that is beneficial to oneself.
Elder Xu has handled the matter well this time. With the release of the Divine Connection cultivation method, those top rogue cultivators should be unable to hold back this time! "
Regarding this matter.
Qin Shujian really did not mean to blame Xu Yuanming.
For the Yuan Sect, the real inheritance had never been the Divine Connection cultivation method of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Although this was the key to the Celestial Realm.
However —
That was all.
In Qin Shujian's view, the real foundation of the Yuan Sect was himself. If the Guiyuan Ancestral Canon continued to be deduced in the future, it would be able to reach the Divine Connection level sooner or later.
As for this powerful cultivation method, he would not easily impart it, and would only choose the right person.
Xu Yuanming said, "In the past three days, thirteen sects have been destroyed. I think the remaining sects should have enough fear by now."
"Fear will be forgotten. Pain is the permanent scar that will be left behind."
Qin Shujian sneered, and his face became cold and stern.
"Since they are so lucky, let them understand the consequences of not obeying the orders of our sect, and let those sects that follow our orders know how correct their decision was."
"Sect Master is right!"
The two talked as they walked, and along the way, they met many disciples of the Yuan Sect.
But when these disciples saw Qin Shujian, they all stopped far away to greet him, and then took a detour.
As time went by.
Qin Shujian's power and influence in the Yuan Sect had been increasing day by day.
No one dared to have the thought of disobeying him.
Even those players had extinguished the last bit of hope they had for this Cold Mountain Stronghold Master.
No one knew when it started.
The Cold Mountain Stockade Master was already on a different level from them. He stood at a height where they needed to look up to see his back.
Just as the two of them were walking forward.
Xu Yuanming's footsteps paused, and a communication jade tablet appeared in his hand.
After his Divine Thought landed, a message appeared in his mind. He then put away the jade tablet, and turned to look at Qin Shujian.
"Sect Master, some of the remaining sects have sent people here. Do you want to meet them?"
"Let him come to the Inherited Martial Hall." Qin Shujian thought for a while, and then nodded.
Hearing this, Xu Yuanming sent out the message.
Then.
The two of them changed direction and walked toward the Inherited Martial Hall.
Inside the Inherited Martial Hall.
Qin Shujian had just sat down on the main seat, and his butt hadn't even warmed up when an outer sect deacon came in with a young man.
"Sect Master, the person is here!"
"Mm, you can leave!"
"Yes!"
The outer sect deacon bowed and left.
At this moment, after the young man saw Qin Shujian on the main seat, his heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Shi Jue Sect's Hou Ming greets Sect Master Qin!"
As he spoke.
He kept a bowing posture, and couldn't lift his head.
After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
Hou Ming looked at the ground, and waited for Qin Shujian's reply for a long time. Sweat faintly appeared on his forehead, and his heart beat violently.
An invisible pressure had already landed on his body.
After a long time.
Only then did Qin Shujian's calm voice resound in the great hall. "You may rise."
"Thank you, Sect Master Qin!"
Hou Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then straightened up, but when he looked at Qin Shujian, his gaze moved down slightly, and he didn't dare to look at him.
"I don't remember having any dealings with Shi Jue Sect. What are you doing here?"
Looking at Hou Ming in front of him, Qin Shujian said indifferently.
He didn't open his mouth to give him a seat, and he didn't cover up his words at all. It was almost a merciless interrogation.
Regarding this.
Hou Ming's heart tightened, but he had already expected it, "My sect had some misunderstanding and friction with your sect before. Now, I specifically came to apologize to Sect Master Qin, and —"
His words paused, and he took out a storage ring from his bosom, and then he lifted it with his qi.
"This is a little token of my sect's appreciation. I hope Sect Master Qin will kindly accept it."
There was no quibbling, and there was no excessive nonsense.
Before coming here, Hou Ming had already scouted out the general nature of Qin Shujian's character. He also knew that the other party only saw benefits, and the other etiquette was just an illusion. The other simply didn't place them in his eyes.
Therefore, when he saw Qin Shujian's first words, he directly expressed Shi Jue Sect's sincerity.
Qin Shujian looked at the storage ring in front of him, held up by his qi, and didn't immediately reach out to receive it. However, Hou Ming's straightforwardness also eased his complexion a little.
"How much are the things inside the storage ring worth?"
"Eh —" The sudden question made Hou Ming stare blankly for a moment. Then, he answered truthfully, "If all the resources are converted, it's probably around forty to fifty million taels."
This price was information that Shi Jue Sect had scouted out.
The value of the resources that the sects had previously apologized to Shi Jue Sect were roughly between twenty to forty million taels.
Shi Jue Sect considered that the current situation was relatively serious, so they paid according to the highest forty million taels.
His words fell.
Qin Shujian waved his hand, and the qi wrapped around the storage ring was annihilated. Soon after, an even more powerful force acted on the storage ring. With the momentum of a sudden clap of thunder, it flew back towards Hou Ming.
The sudden unforeseen event made Hou Ming's mind tremble.
It was obviously a storage ring, but it gave him a kind of illusion of death.
He didn't dare hesitate.
True essence erupted, and Hou Ming reached out with a hand, wanting to catch the storage ring.
Just as the two made contact, a terrifying force erupted, and in a flash, the true essence in his palm was smashed apart. Immediately after, the storage ring bombarded his body, sending him flying straight away.
Puchi —
A line of blood was spat out from his mouth, streaking through the air.
Hou Ming's body fell to the ground, and it was difficult for him to stand up for a while.
Qin Shujian retracted his palm, looked at him with cold eyes, and sneered, "Forty million taels. That was the previous price. If Shi Jue Sect can't take out two hundred million taels of silver, this Qin will destroy your sect and kill you!"
"Sect Master Qin —"
Hou Ming was alarmed and frightened at the same time. His original calm and unruffled appearance had long since disappeared without a trace.
How could he have anticipated that Qin Shujian would make a move just like that, not giving him the slightest bit of face?
But at this very moment.
Hou Ming really didn't dare to give birth to any anger or resentment.
The situation was stronger than the person.
Not to mention him, a mere Ten Ultimates Sect elder, even the entire Ten Ultimates Sect wasn't enough to look at in front of Origin Sect.
Now, even if Qin Shujian directly made a move to kill him, the sect behind him absolutely wouldn't dare to say a word.
For a moment.
Hou Ming's heart welled up with immense fear.
In this present situation, it wasn't impossible for Qin Shujian to make a move to kill him. A single moment of carelessness and he really would die.
He would die!
Thinking of this possibility, Hou Ming's mind trembled even more.
He originally thought that there shouldn't be any problems with Shi Jue Sect coming to apologize this time and even attaching forty million taels of silver as compensation.
However, what happened now was beyond his expectations.
"Get lost!"
"This one will definitely pass on Sect Master Qin's words!"
Hearing this, Hou Ming struggled to stand up from the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. Then, he staggered out of the main hall.
But when he left, he didn't forget to take that storage ring with him.
Forty million taels of silver.
For Shi Jue Sect, which was only a great sect of Spirit Domain, taking it out wasn't an easy matter.
Looking at Hou Ming's departing figure.
Xu Yuanming's expression didn't change, but when only the two of them were left in the main hall, he tilted his head to look at the main seat.
"Sect Master, with the power of Spirit Domain's great sects, to take out two hundred million taels, I'm afraid they'll have to take out all of their family's assets. They may not be willing to do so."
"If they're not willing, then destroy them. Why waste words with them?"
Qin Shujian didn't comment and casually replied.
In one sentence, the killing intent was fully revealed.
Previously, they didn't take the opportunity to apologize. Now, facing the situation of their sect being destroyed, they came to ask for peace. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
In any case, even the Heavenly Corpse Sect was destroyed, and indirectly destroyed many of Spirit Domain's great sects.
Now, Qin Shujian didn't mind destroying a few more.
Anyway, there was a reason, and he wasn't afraid of arousing the hostility of other sects.
After all —
In the end, this was still a grudge between Yuan Zong and other sects. It wasn't a matter of destroying sects and killing people for no reason. Moreover, with Yuan Zong's current power as a top great sect, and with the momentum of destroying the Heavenly Corpse Sect, there weren't many sects that had nothing better to do.
To put it bluntly.
If anyone casually interfered and didn't handle it well, they would have to consider whether they could bear the anger of Yuan Zong.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian said again, "In addition, send a message to other sects. If they want to ask for peace, the great sects of Spirit Domain have to take out two hundred million taels, and the great sects of Spirit Domain have to take out one billion taels. Otherwise, they can just wait to die."
"Uh — Yes!"
Qin Shujian's words were so straightforward that even Xu Yuanming was stunned.
Fortunately, the two of them were originally mountain bandits and bandit leaders, and most of their actions were straightforward, so they reacted quickly.
Very quickly.
Qin Shujian's words directly spread.
Many cultivators and sects were also stunned when they heard this, and then they immediately admired him.
They had seen extortion, but they had never seen such a straightforward and rampant extortion.
If other sects did this, they would only make others laugh.
However, no one had any funny thoughts about Yuan Zong's actions.
This was because Yuan Zong's strength was too strong, so strong that others thought it was normal for them to do this. At most, when they heard this news, they would be a little stunned.
After the news spread, there were already people who wanted to see how those sects would deal with it.
With the price that Yuan Zong offered.
Basically, it was stuck on the lifeline of these sects.
If they wanted to take out enough compensation, it would be light to say that it was to the extent of breaking their bones, or even to the extent of emptying their assets.
Once they really did this, the overall strength of the sects would at least regress by a few decades.
However, if they didn't take it.
With the current development of the situation, it would be difficult for these sects to be spared.
The temptation of the Divine Connection cultivation method was too great, so great that it was beyond the expectations of all the sects.
Only after Yuan Zong took out the name of the Divine Connection cultivation method did they know how many peak powerhouses were hidden among the loose cultivators.
In the end, how many loose cultivator powerhouses were once famous throughout the world? As it turned out, they were all hidden in some corner. The so-called rumors of their lifespans being exhausted and passing away were all nothing more than rumors.
Ten Ultimates Sect.
When Hou Ming dragged his heavily injured body back, the entire sect was immediately shaken.
"You're going too far!"
"Yuan Zong's way of doing things is really too savage!"
Inside Ten Ultimates Sect, many elders had angry expressions. They had the idea of going over and having a showdown with Yuan Zong.
As for Hou Ming, he sat on the side in silence.
Right now, his injuries weren't light, and he had to rush back to Ten Ultimates Sect without stopping. It wasn't good for him either.
Qin Shujian's seemingly casual attack was enough to make ordinary Spirit Martial Realm cultivators lose their lives.
Hou Ming could perceive that the other party had restrained some of his strength in the end. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to walk out of the Inherited Martial Hall.
"He spared my life just to let me bring back a message?"
Hou Ming smiled wryly in his heart. For the first time in so many years, he felt how weak he was in front of a powerhouse of that level.
As for the sect master of Ten Ultimates Sect, he sat motionless on the main seat at this time, allowing the group of elders below to be agitated.
When the others were almost done speaking, he calmly opened his mouth and said: "Since the elders are so indignant, it would be better for my sect to declare war on Yuan Zong and let you vent this anger."
With one sentence, the entire great hall fell silent.
The elders who were clamoring all flushed red. They wanted to follow up, but they didn't know how to.
To put it bluntly.
They were only indulging in their mouths. If they really wanted to go to war with Yuan Zong, it was no different from courting death.
"Aren't the elders very angry?" Bayan was expressionless, and said neither salty nor indifferently: "Why haven't you killed Yuan Zong and redeemed the face of my Ten Ultimates Sect?"
"…"
No one answered because they didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Bayan shook his head again, and then looked at Hou Ming on the side: "Elder Hou is currently unwell. It's better to go back and have a good rest. If you need any spirit medicine, just ask. As long as the sect can take it out, we won't be stingy."
"Thank you for your concern, sect master. I'll go back and recuperate for a few days."
"That's good. Elder Hou doesn't need to participate in this matter for the time being. Go back and rest."
"Thank you, sect master!"
Hou Ming didn't insist on anything. He was indeed holding on now.
Therefore, after hearing Bayan's words, he cupped his hands and got up to leave.
After Hou Ming left, Bayan looked at the other elders who didn't look too good and said: "Yuan Zong offered two hundred million taels. What do you think my sect should do?"
"Everything will be decided by the sect master!"
"As far as this lord knows, each elder has a lot of property under their hands. Now that the sect is in a crisis, you should share the burden of the sect."
When Hou Ming spoke, he paused for a moment and continued:
"Two hundred million taels of silver. The sect will take out one hundred million. The remaining one hundred million will be shared by you!"
"Ah!"
Hearing this, the elders of Ten Ultimates Sect were all stunned.
Obviously, Bayan's words were completely beyond their expectations. No one thought that the other party would do such a thing.
