Chapter 193 - Killed in an Instant (1/2)

The Divine Light Sect had been thrown into chaos after that one line from Zhou Donghuang. Under such circumstances, if the sect did not do anything, how could it continue to maintain its reputation on Ziyun planet? If the Divine Light Sect did not take any retaliatory action, it would definitely become the laughing stock for the other four large sects in Ziyun planet.

“This… that sounds like Zhou Donghuang!” Although two years had passed, as one of the three Golden Essence elders in the Divine Light Sect, Ci Xuan could recognize the owner of the voice that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than the young man whom he had met in the black market, Zhou Donghuang.

“His strength… is he so powerful that he does not even fear the three of us?” Ci Xuan’s face was serious as the thought crossed his mind. A man who had been able to defeat Tuo Ku two years ago would definitely have grown in strength since then. He would not even doubt it if one said that the man was stronger than him now.

But, stronger than just him was hardly the same as being able to take on all three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. Even for himself, if he were in Zhou Donghuang’s place, he would not last longer than three breaths. Furthermore, both he and his senior had spirit weapons. Together, their power was incomparable to that before.

Soon, Tuo Jin, the leader of the sect, came to the door as he said seriously to Ci Xuan, “Elder Ci Xuan, the visitor is not friendly… may you and senior please help us to protect the dignity of our sect!”

Tuo Jin’s senior was none other than Ci Yun, Ci Xuan’s senior and one of the three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect. He was the most powerful man in the sect! Ci Yun was almost 280 years old, and if he did not reach the Dharma stage within the next twenty years, he would reach the end of his life. Hence, in recent times, Ci Yun had rarely appeared before people.

But what had happened that day threatened the pride of the Divine Light Sect, hence even though the leader of the sect, Tuo Jin, was reluctant to disturb his senior, but he had no choice but to do so.

“Senior Ci Xuan, you have seen Zhou Donghuang and even spoken to him… that voice just now, was it him?” Although Tuo Ku had already guessed as much, he could not help but ask.

“Yes,” answered Ci Xuan.

…

Every elder and disciple of the Divine Light Sect who was at least in the Primal Core stage had all gathered in the sky, floating in formation as they stared at a white figure in the distance.

“So this is the man who claimed to kill Tenth Elder? And even said that he was waiting for us to avenge the death of Tenth Elder?” The group of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect all stared at the young man in white in shock.

“Where is his arrogance coming from?”

“This young man looks at most twenty years old… he is already a mid Primal Core adept?”

“Could he be Zhou Donghuang?”

…

Just as the group of elders and disciples from Divine Light Sect were discussing fervently, a booming voice resounded and disrupted their discussion. “Distinguished Elder is here!”

The distinguished elder of Divine Light Sect, Lin Jue was one of the three Golden Essence adepts of the Divine Light Sect. Most importantly, Lin Jue was the grandfather of Lin Hantian, the tenth elder of the sect. Lin Hantian was his sole grandson; he was so important to Lin Jue that he even valued him more than himself!

“It was you who killed my grandson, Lin Hantian?” Lin Jue was an old man dressed in a long gray robe, his white hair tied up behind his back. His frame was skinny, and he looked almost like a deity there. But now, as Lin Jue confronted Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were piercing, its intensity enough to make one shiver in fright.

“Distinguished Elder.” Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, two figures had already emerged from the crowd and came behind Lin Jue and greeted him respectfully. They glared at Zhou Donghuang. These were both old men who looked as old as Lin Jue. They were his disciples and the late Primal Core adepts of Divine Light Sect.

“Yes,” replied Zhou Donghuang flatly.

Instantly, Lin Jue turned red with fury. His gray robe billowed despite the still air, the golden inner Yuan that surrounded his body glowing even brighter.

“Lad, since you are looking for death, I shall grant you your wish!” In that instant, Lin Jue totally disregarded Ci Xuan’s warning about the possible backing that Zhou Donghuang had.

All he had in his mind was one thought: kill Zhou Donghuang and seek revenge for his grandson Lin Hantian!

If Zhou Donghuang really had some powerful backing, he would just escape from Ziyun planet after killing him. He did not believe that he would be able to find him in the whole universe!

Boom!

Just as Lin Jue’s words left his mouth, a thunderous sound seemed to shake the eardrums of all the elders and disciples in the crowd that had gathered in the air. This was the sound of Lin Jue’s golden inner Yuan turning into a bolt of golden lightning that streaked straight towards Zhou Donghuang.

“Senior, I will help you!”

“You will die today for killing Lin Hantian!”
