Chapter 76 (2/2)

A disciple next to him immediately opened the Soul-collecting Bag and collected the souls of those women. Some old men, children, and women far away were too scared to move.

Xiao Tianqi’s body trembled. He thought that this man should be a cultivator. Last year, Xiao Wan’er, Xiao Han, and Xiao Chen left the family. Now that the former two had returned, but Xiao Chen had not. Xiao Chen might have made some huge trouble outside.

“We are all ordinary people. Senior, how can you let us go today?”

Gongye Zi smiled coldly. “Let you go? Murderous intent has taken over me. Even the Buddha cannot stop me!” As his voice fell, a blood column suddenly splashed beside him. The disciple who held the Soul-collecting Bag was beheaded by a flying sword from the outside.

Then, some rows of white radiance flashed as seven or eight disciples were instantly beheaded by a flying sword. Finally, a figure flashed. Xiao Chen landed in the court. His eyes were thoroughly red, and his face was filled with murderous intent.

Xiao Tianqi finally saw him coming back and said in tremor, “Xiao Chen! How did you offend the senior? Confess to this senior quickly!”

Xiao Chen sneered and said, “Confess? I’ll kill this old fu*ker today!” As his voice fell, he thrust his sword to Gongye Zi as a white radiance dazzled. “Clash!” The long sword in Gongye Zi’s hand was broken.

The Unsullied was an ancient Legendary Weapon. How could a normal cultivator’s sword resist it? Gongye Zi’s eyes immediately burst out keen light. He threw away half of the remnant sword in his hand and hit Xiao Chen with a punch.

This punch was no ordinary attack. It made the ground keep shaking. Xiao Chen struggled to take this punch and felt his body was about to collapse. Although Gongye Zi had lost a great amount of original Qi, he was a Core Forming Realm cultivator. How could Xiao Chen, a Lv 9 Qi Refining Realm cultivator, resist the damage?

Xiao Chen’s eyes were filled with blood streaks at the moment. As long as he survived today, he would definitely ravage the Skygale Sect someday!

Gongye Zi had also noticed the hatred in his eyes. So he decided that Xiao Chen must be dead today. He then punched out as Li Muxue also arrived.

“Wait! Senior, you’re also a member of a cultivators’ sect. You’ve killed so many people today, are you not afraid that the Immortals’ League will know?”

Gongye Zi smiled coldly and said, “If I’m afraid, I won’t come!” While speaking, he punched at Xiao Chen.

Two figures flashed. They were Xiao Han and Xiao Wan’er. They joined forces and managed to block this attack.

Xiao Chen looked at the two people beside him and asked, “Where are my parents?” If his parents died today, it would not be enough to only ravage the Skygale Sect.

“I don’t know.” Xiao Han said coldly. He controlled his flying sword to attack Gongye Zi.

While they stayed to hold Gongye Zi, Xiao Tianqi found a girl in purple. She was the Xiao Chen’s cousin, Xiao Yu.

“Yu’er, listen to me. Today is about the survival of the Xiao Family. Only you have the power to open the seal of the ancient tomb in the back mountain. Listen to me carefully. You will enter the cave of the tomb, and then break the eight steles…”

Xiao Yu listened, her face looked confused. She did not understand what he was saying. However, the faces of the elders beside changed. “No! Never! That seal is…”

Xiao Tianqi shook his head. Now was the decisive moment of the 1,000-year-existence of the Xiao Family. The elders noticed that he was determined to do this and said no more.

“Yu’er, come! I’ll pass you the spell!”

Xiao Yu leaned over and listened intently. After passing the spell, Xiao Tianqi said, “Once the seal is opened, you must immediately leave the tomb as far as possible!”

Xiao Yu nodded and dared not to hesitate. She immediately ran to the tomb in the mountain back. At this moment, the ancient tomb was surging with evil Qi, and the black clouds above were rolling as if it was the end of the world.

In the Fly Cloud Court, Xiao Chen and some others were fighting against Gongye Zi. But they were losing. Suddenly, an earth-shaking evil roar rose from the mountain back. People could not even stand straight and fell to the ground.

At the moment, dark clouds were rolling over the tomb. That piece of black cloud quickly moved to the tomb, and then countless bolts of lightning rumbled and struck down. But they did not disappear, instead, they were dazzling in the air and shone the mountain back of the Xiao Family bright as day!

“It’s the Heavenly Punishment!” The sudden scene shocked everyone!

When a power which was stronger than the limit of the area appeared, the Nine-heaven Mystic Thunder would fall! This was the Heavenly Punishment. It also applied to the process of a cultivator ascending to Immortal, or using the golden needle to survive the Thunder Ordeal.

Everybody stared agape at the lightning which was soul-shaking. All of a sudden, an overwhelming aura swept over, making people feel a sense of suppression in the chest and unable to breathe.

“It’s the Devil Qi!” Xiao Chen was more than shocked. He was so familiar with the aura of that man. It was the Devil Qi from thousands of years ago.

At this moment, Gongye Zi also became uneasy. He stopped engaging Xiao Chen and the others because this aura was so horrible.

All of a sudden, a piece of dark cloud moved to the Fly Cloud Court rapidly. Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Chen’s mind at this moment. He suddenly thought of the cave in the tomb that he trespassed before and the stone tomb surrounded by eight steles. This man was the host of that tomb!

Now, he was certain that it must be the great patriarch of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ning, who set numerous seals to imprison that great demon under the stone tomb and made an oral instruction to his family not to unseal under any circumstances. However, thousands of years later, his instruction was gradually mistaken as “Do not unseal unless there’s no other choice.”

“It’s been 1,000 years! Xiao Ning! Can you seal Gu Feng the mighty me?” A man’s voice suddenly rose from the dark clouds.
