Chapter 347 - 146: Everyone Submits, the Ink-colored Demon Dragon, Gui Chen Reappears

THUD!

The sound of footsteps, like the beat of a drum, echoed out.

Each footstep contained an indescribable, wondrous power.

Where the sound waves spread, the many Gui Chen Sect disciples brandishing their weapons and shouting, the Gui Chen Sect Daoists flashing their swords in mid-air—

even Jin Yunfeng, who was under siege with his body nearly shattered—

all of them involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

A tranquil and peaceful Presence instantly enveloped the entire ruined hall.

Everyone’s killing intent completely dissipated. No matter how enraged they were, they suddenly grew calm.

Shock and horror filled their hearts as they all turned to look toward the source of the footsteps.

There, a young man in a white robe approached at a slow, deliberate pace.

The young man was not particularly tall, but his figure was perfectly proportioned. His face was indistinct, ethereal and mysterious, possessed of a unique charm.

His white robes were unstained by a single speck of dust, and like his gaze, they were calm yet frigid.

His long hair fell to his shoulders, exuding an indescribable, terrifying deterrent force.

As he walked forward, even the brilliance of the great sun hanging in the sky seemed to dim, as if he were the center of the universe and all other colors were merely his backdrop.

Naturally, he captivated everyone’s gaze.

At that moment, no one could ignore his existence.

"Who are you!?"

The Gui Chen Sect Daoist who had been hunting Cui Yanliang felt a chill rise in his heart, but he forced down his terror and barked out the question, his voice hoarse.

He was no fool. For someone to possess such a terrifying aura, their Martial Arts Cultivation was undoubtedly far beyond his own. This person might have even reached the Feathered Realm.

For such a being to so brazenly set foot in a branch of the Gui Chen Sect... the implications were terrifying enough to scare a man to death!

"Senior..."

Cui Yanliang stood to the side, bowing respectfully.

WHOOSH!

The air howled as the other Gui Chen Sect Daoists, led by Changqing Daoist, all landed on the ground. They exchanged glances and formed a Grand Array.

No one spoke a word.

The crowd’s expressions were grave, but Cui Yanliang let out a long sigh of relief.

’No matter what happened outside the city, the fact that Senior could come here in person means he has undoubtedly taken care of everything out there.’

He didn’t know when it started, but he had developed an extraordinary trust in the senior beside him.

CRACK! CRACK!

Jin Yunfeng landed, and his entire skeleton creaked. His body was covered in fractures, a shocking sight to behold.

Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the many Daoists in the hall.

He said nothing.

But Su Bai’s silence was nearly suffocating the Gui Chen Sect Daoists.

Changqing Daoist couldn’t help but take a step forward, his body surging with sword light.

"Senior, this place is an important branch of my Gui Chen Sect..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he lost his voice, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

Because before him, Su Bai slowly opened his palm. A wisp of black smoke suddenly rose and, under the sunlight, took the form of a man.

It was the Vice Sect Leader of the Gui Chen Sect, Xiao Yu!

"Vice Sect Leader!"

"Vice Sect Leader!? How is this possible!"

"Impossible! How could it be the Vice Sect Leader!?"

Changqing Daoist was stunned, while the expressions of the other Gui Chen Sect Daoists twisted in horror.

They were utterly appalled!

In the Gui Chen Sect, nominally, only the Leader of Gui Chen Sect’s word was law.

However, how revered was a Feathered Transformation Great Power?

Ordinary people were not even qualified to see the Leader of Gui Chen Sect.

In a sense, Xiao Yu was the true leader of the Gui Chen Sect. He was in charge of all matters, large and small.

All of the Daoists present had been dispatched here by Xiao Yu.

How could they not recognize him?

It wasn’t just the Gui Chen Sect Daoists. The Elders from various sects who had gathered after hearing the commotion, the hidden experts, and even the masters serving as Guest Ministers within the sect all stood frozen on the spot.

They, too, recognized Xiao Yu.

"Haha! Made by Gui Chen, broken by Gui Chen! This is all fate!"

Under the sun, Xiao Yu’s Yin Spirit laughed, its form ethereal and twisted.

"Sect Leader, you planned for everything, schemed for ten thousand years, but in the end... in the end..."

"You lost!"

"You lost! Haha..."

Xiao Yu’s desolate, maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire branch sect, causing the faces of countless Gui Chen Sect Daoists to turn ashen and their hearts to grow cold.

"He lost... the Sect Leader lost..."

Changqing Daoist’s body couldn’t help but stagger. He suddenly felt the cold wind, which he hadn’t noticed before, turn bone-chilling.

Lost...

For the Gui Chen Sect Daoists and the Honored Guest Strong People serving the sect,

hearing these words, they already knew in their hearts what it meant.

The Incense and Candle Grand Assembly was already known throughout the land. While some in the world might not have heard of it, here in the Da Yu Capital City, it was a household name.

To say nothing of the Gui Chen Sect’s own branch.

"You..."

The Daoist who had been hunting Cui Yanliang earlier stared at Su Bai, who was holding Xiao Yu’s Yin Spirit in his hand, and suddenly felt his limbs go weak.

CLANG!

A light sound rang out. Someone could no longer hold their weapon, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

Following that, a sound like Golden Jade clashing rose and fell in succession.

The many Honored Guest Strong People serving the Gui Chen Sect, along with numerous newly joined disciples, all dropped their weapons to the ground.

Then, their bodies followed, and they knelt on the ground.
