Chapter 1931 - 1959: Qinglei’s Decision
The sound waves echoed, instantly enveloping the entire Western Forest. Martial artists on the ground and in the sky were shaken by this incredibly powerful and booming sound wave, their minds wavering, their eyes showing signs of pain, and expressions becoming unsightly.
Then, in the void, waves of powerful True Essence surged continuously. Soon after, numerous silhouettes emerged from the void, their formidable aura gathered together, resulting in a sky full of dense dark clouds.
The winds moved across the heavens and earth, endless currents flowed within the void, shattering it as air currents formed from True Essence rolled over the Western Great Forest like a vast tsunami, covering the sky and earth.
The heavens and earth changed color, the terrifying aura instilled fear in everyone, their eyes showing signs of dread.
In less than ten breaths, everyone saw tens of thousands of martial artists rapidly flying through the void, quickly approaching the entrance to the Heavenly Dao Maze. Each martial artist’s cultivation had at least reached the Entering Dao realm, with the strongest having attained the Saint Realm, their power incredibly fearsome.
A full twenty Holy Realm experts were present! That terrifying aura crushed Elder Qing Lei.
Suddenly, Elder Qing Lei’s domain twisted and shattered instantly. Elder Qing Lei, his mind shaken, blood qi tumbling within, struggled to control his body, staggering back several steps before barely stopping.
Over ten thousand martial artists quickly joined the encirclement, enclosing all the Green Lotus Sword Sect inside.
Leading them, shockingly, were precisely twenty Saint Realm master. When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned.
Even Elder Qing Lei and Elder Qingyu couldn’t remain calm. Among those martial artists, leading them was none other than the leader of the Cangxuan Alliance, the Cangxuan Saint Sect, who had brought twenty Saint Realm experts.
Xingchenzi, upon seeing Cangxuan Saint Sect, showed excitement in his eyes and approached the Cangxuan Saint Sect: "Alliance Hierarch!" The Cangxuan Saint Sect nodded lightly: "No need for courtesy. Confirm, is Ye Feng really in the Heavenly Dao Forest?"
Xingchenzi nodded: "There’s no mistake. The man previously used special means to change his appearance and stature, but now he’s revealed his true self. Everyone absolutely sees him clearly. He is Ye Feng, and only he could have killed Emperor Yun Dao Venerable!"
Upon hearing about Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, a trace of sadness appeared in the eyes of Cangxuan Saint Sect, who said coldly, "Pity for Emperor Yun, but if Ye Feng could be killed, Emperor Yun’s sacrifice would be worthy!"
At this moment, Elder Qingyu and Elder Qing Lei showed nervousness in their eyes. They never thought the Cangxuan Alliance would prioritize Ye Feng this much, knowing full well Ye Feng wasn’t even at the Saint Realm yet.
But today they learned Ye Feng was indeed in the Heavenly Dao Maze, and the Cangxuan Saint Sect launched a full-scale mobilization.
The entire Cangxuan Alliance only had twenty-six Holy Realm experts, yet they unexpectedly brought twenty-two, including Xingchenzi, just to kill Ye Feng.
This left everyone puzzled. Ye Feng’s cultivation was only at the pinnacle of Proof of Dao, yet they used so many to kill him. They felt as if dreaming, wholly unable to understand why.
However, Elder Qing Lei and others naturally couldn’t comprehend how much the Cangxuan Saint Sect feared Ye Feng.
Know that, when Cangxuan Saint Sect first met Ye Feng, Ye Feng’s power was far less, yet Ye Feng heavily injured his Lifebound Avatar. Ye Feng’s might cannot be judged by cultivation alone.
This is why Cangxuan Saint Sect dared not take things lightly and dispatched nearly all Cangxuan Alliance’s combat power directly.
Today, Cangxuan Saint Sect came with a determined resolve not to spare Ye Feng, granting him not the slightest chance of survival.
The Cangxuan Saint Sect looked faintly at Elder Qing Lei, though the Cangxuan Saint Sect’s cultivation was just one level higher.
Yet such an invisible upper hand pressure, such control over the life and death of billions in the Cangxuan Realm, weighed heavily on Elder Qing Lei, making even his breath difficult, his eyes showing pain, utterly unable to endure.
Elder Qing Lei looked apprehensively at Cangxuan Saint Sect. If Cangxuan Saint Sect hadn’t come earlier, he still had confidence in joining forces with Elder Qingyu and taking everyone back to the Green Lotus Sword Sect. But now, he had no such assurance.
Cangxuan Saint Sect spoke placidly: "Qinglei, I am giving you a chance. When Ye Feng appears, you seize him personally and hand him over to our Cangxuan Alliance. This time, the Cangxuan Alliance will overlook your Green Lotus Sword Sect harboring Ye Feng. If you refuse, today, none of your Green Lotus Sword Sect disciples will leave!"
As the words fell, a terrifying pressure crushed upon Elder Qing Lei and others. Everyone knew well that today they faced inevitable doom. Over twenty thousand experts above the Entering Dao realm were present, and twenty-six had reached the Holy Realm, with the strongest being an advanced Saint from Cangxuan Saint Sect, their combat prowess overwhelming.
A single Cangxuan Saint Sect could easily deal with Elder Qing Lei and Elder Qingyu. To annihilate them as a whole was as easy as crushing a swarm of ants, simple, requiring no effort at all.
Elder Qing Lei was plunged into silence, unable to decide. On one side was everyone’s life or death, on the other lay Ye Feng, a super genius, an unprecedented Supreme Daoist God in the Cangxuan Realm. Upon reaching his peak and growing, he would lead Green Lotus Sword Sect to unprecedented brilliance and venture beyond Cangxuan Realm.
But helping Ye Feng would mean not only today’s disciples of Green Lotus Sword Sect scattered here but even the entire Green Lotus Sword Sect would face extinction. Thus, Elder Qing Lei was left at a loss.
At this time, Elder Qing Lei glanced at Elder Qingyu, eyes showing conflict. Originally leading the team, he could decide everything, but now he was uncertain, gazing at Elder Qingyu.
"Qingyu Junior Sister, what would you do in my place?"
