Chapter 348: 346. Mitian Sect Patriarch (2/4) "Ancestor!"
Xu Mitian was knocked back by a punch, and after steadying himself with his hand, he finally showed a smile on his face, clearly he had long known the white-robed man would emerge.
At that moment, everyone focused their gaze on the white-robed man standing at the edge of the deep pit. Seeing that white-robed figure, the Mitian Sect members felt like they were dreaming because the ancestor from the portrait had appeared.
A legendary figure who lived a hundred years ago, back then he was already at the Divine Profound Upper Realm.
However, it was rumored that he had disappeared decades ago, possibly dead.
Now it seems he had been in seclusion beneath Lueyue Mountain all along, and only the Sect Leader knew about this.
On the flying ship, upon witnessing the appearance of the white-robed man, everyone’s first impression was of overwhelming strength.
With just a casual glance, his power was restrained yet deep, much more substantial compared to Xu Mitian.
"This has to be someone above Divine Profound, right?"
"Absolutely."
"Mitian Sect actually has such a figure, they aren’t just a Three-star Influence," said Biyue Piaoling, "A disguised Four-star Influence hiding their power, if not for the Sect Leader, probably no one would know, right?"
"It’s not bad, still not as imposing as the Deputy City Lord of Cloud Sea City." Miao Yin smiled indifferently.
"Hey, when did Miao Yin learn the Sect Leader’s calm demeanor?" Yang Lele nudged Qin Shan, "Qin Shan, manage your people..."
The people on the flying ship continued to discuss, while the atmosphere on Mitian Island turned silent. The white-robed man glanced around, then his gaze swept over Wenping, the Evil Spirit Knight, Mountain Dog, and Ji Liangping.
"Is the current Sect Leader here?"
"Ancestor, my father Xu Zairong!" Xu Mitian immediately responded.
"What happened here?"
"Ancestor, please avenge Mitian Sect, all our Elders and Divine Profound realm have died, Lueyue Mountain is gone too. Of the entire Mitian Sect... only I survived." Xu Mitian gritted his teeth and glared at Ji Liangping and the others.
"You did this?"
The white-robed man cast a glance, and with just that look, Ji Liangping felt a chill.
"Half-Step Mountain Suppression!"
Ji Liangping exclaimed.
"You have good eyesight..." The white-robed man sneered lightly, "Who’s going to annihilate my Mitian Sect? One... two... three of you at Divine Profound Upper Realm, no wonder you destroyed my Lueyue Mountain... But now it’s my turn."
Seeing Wenping watching the white-robed man without moving, Ji Liangping quickly spoke up, "Sect Leader Wen, this person is named Xingzhi, a hundred years ago he was the top figure at Bright Mirror Lake, also born with an Innate Anomaly Vein. Everyone thought he was dead, yet he’s alive and has become Half-Step Mountain Suppression, gaining an extra hundred years of life."
"Didn’t expect someone would remember me, Xingzhi... Not bad, young man, your life, I’ll take as my last." Xingzhi smiled gently, then brushed the dust off his clothes, taking step by step towards Wenping.
The Evil Spirit Knight and Mountain Dog immediately rushed over, blocking in front of Wenping.
Bang!
Bang!
Two sounds of Vibrating Vein Sound echoed.
Golden Vein Qi spread wildly, a huge pressure directly targeted the Evil Spirit Knight and Mountain Dog.
"You sure are protective of your master!"
Xingzhi chuckled softly, then casually flicked his wrist, a golden sword aura shot out, reaching the two in the blink of an eye. Undoubtedly, the Evil Spirit Knight and Mountain Dog were knocked back nearly a hundred meters.
And that was merely Xingzhi’s casual flick.
No Vein Technique used!
No weapon deployed!
"We have hope now!" The Mitian Sect disciples watching from afar were moved to tears with excitement.
"Our sect still has such a strong ancestor, we’re not afraid of Celestial Academy and that Immortal Sect anymore."
The cheers grew louder and louder.
And at this time, on a small hill, people from the Hundred Sects Alliance sent a message falcon flying away.
Not long after, the message falcon landed in the hands of Chief Jin.
Upon opening the note, Chief Jin was delighted.
"Mitian Sect’s Senior Xingzhi has been alive all this time and has broken through to Half-Step Mountain Suppression realm."
Luo Boping nodded with a smile, "I knew things couldn’t just end like that, Xu Mitian isn’t a fool, how could he be so rash as to provoke Immortal Sect... The death of Nangong Wenping and others clearly proves the existence of Divine Profound Upper Realm in Immortal Sect, no one would be that foolish."
"Sir, what should we do next..." Murong Qing quickly asked, feeling it ideal to head to Mitian Island now.
And that suited Luo Boping perfectly too.
"Go call upon three Tributors at Divine Profound Upper Realm, we’ll convene at Mitian Island..." With that, Luo Boping swiftly rode a Wing Race Giant Demon soaring to the skies, quickly disappearing across the horizon.
Heading there now is neither too late nor too early.
It’s perfectly timed.
Meanwhile, back on Mitian Island, the Evil Spirit Knight showed no fear after being knocked away, charging forward again, swinging a crimson chain aiming to bind Xingzhi. He wouldn’t feel pain, so feared nothing.
"Overestimating oneself!"
