"Xu’er was actually defeated?"
Looking at Zhao Xu lying in a pool of blood, the Zhao Family Ancestor felt as if he had been struck by lightning, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
This was the prodigy on whom the Zhao Family had placed high hopes!
He was the family descendant most likely to break through to the Nirvana Realm and succeed him!
Yet in front of Lu Yuan, he was so utterly vulnerable.
Even after using all his means, he was still killed in a single strike, completely unable to resist.
Moreover, in the path of cultivation, it demands bold advancement, and it is a matter of pride.
But now Zhao Xu was so thoroughly defeated, and with his veins severed, even if he could be barely saved, his Tao heart would collapse, leaving him no possibility of cultivation.
Thinking of this.
The Zhao Family Ancestor’s gaze became increasingly dim, as if he had lost all his essence, qi, and spirit in an instant, aging several decades.
Contrary to the resigned Severe Punishment and the Zhao Family Ancestor, Luo Xin and Han Qingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, unable to suppress a heartfelt smile.
This time the Inner Sect competition was of great importance; if Zhao Xu had taken first place.
Then not only would the Celestial Mandate Inheritance slot fall into the Zhao Family’s hands, but even Han Qingxuan’s position as Sect Master might not be secure.
But with Lu Yuan successfully taking the crown, the Zhao Family and the Law Enforcement Hall’s influence in the Cyan Cloud Sect would plummet, unable to challenge Han Qingxuan’s status anymore!
However, at this moment.
The ragged Taoist seemingly sensed something and suddenly looked up into the distance, shedding his usual laziness and showing a solemn expression.
"Such a powerful presence, could it be..."
It wasn’t just him.
Han Qingxuan and all the Nirvana Realm experts present changed expressions slightly, as if encountering something very tricky.
Outside the Cyan Cloud Sect, three pitch-black warships pierced through the skies and appeared above the crowd in the blink of an eye.
These three warships were one hundred feet long, seemingly forged from some precious metal, shining with a jet-black gleam.
On the banners of each warship, the words "Supreme Profound" were written in flamboyant script.
The warships crossed the sky, the banners obscured the firmament.
Instantly transforming the previously celebratory atmosphere into one of oppressive suffocation!
Especially on the foremost warship, where a white-bearded elder stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes ruthless, exuding the aura of a hero.
When Han Qingxuan and the others saw this white-bearded elder, their hearts trembled violently, unable to help but sit up straight, as if facing an unprecedented enemy.
Because this person was none other than the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor, a near Celestial Destiny Realm formidable existence!
"The Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor came uninvited, could it be because of Lin Hu?"
The crowd felt a heavy heart, vaguely guessing the reason.
Although Lin Hu was a discarded disciple of the Supreme Profound Sect, he was once the acknowledged Inner Sect Chief.
Even though he has become a bandit over the years, there are still countless ties with the Supreme Profound Sect.
Moreover, Dong Ruonan was a prodigy of the Supreme Profound Sect, and with Lu Yuan having killed her, the Supreme Profound Sect would certainly not let it go easily.
"But more importantly, it’s probably because young Lu Yuan’s talent is too dazzling."
Su Zhengyang said with a complex tone.
Over the years, the struggle between the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Supreme Profound Sect had become increasingly intense. Not just Inner Sect Disciples, but even several of the Sect’s True Disciples had died, yet the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor never showed up.
But Lu Yuan was different, his aptitude was extraordinary, possessing infinite potential and possibilities.
If he were allowed to grow, he would surely change the power structure of the Great Li Dynasty!
For this reason.
The Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor was willing to pay any price to eliminate him quickly!
The moment the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor appeared.
Everyone present felt an indescribable sense of dread, as if an invisible hand had gripped their hearts, making their breath short and their minds heavy.
Some of the weaker disciples trembled uncontrollably, with their Tao hearts on the verge of collapsing.
This was the terror of a Celestial Destiny Great Power. With just a thought, they could bend reality without fighting!
To such an existence, there was no need to lift a hand, a mere glance, a wisp of aura could suppress or kill lower realm cultivators.
And the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor, though not yet truly entering the Celestial Fate Realm, was only half a step away from it.
Just standing there, he rendered the entire scene deathly silent.
Many powerful True Disciples appeared as insignificant as ants before him, lacking even the courage to lift their heads to look at him directly.
Fear, terror, trembling...
All kinds of negative emotions sprouted in the hearts of many disciples, feeling as though they were facing an omnipotent god.
Each one sat on pins and needles, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, wishing they could flee immediately.
Only Lu Yuan’s Tao heart was as sharp as a sword, capable of cutting through all distractions and external interference, entirely unaffected by the Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor, daring to look up and directly face the Celestial Mandate!
"Such a young age yet possessing such a steadfast Tao heart, truly extraordinary."
"This child cannot be left unchecked; he must be strangled in the cradle!"
The Supreme Profound Sect Ancestor’s eyes were deep, carefully scrutinizing Lu Yuan, with a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Lu Yuan’s monstrous talent was indeed rare in his life. If left to continue growing, he would certainly become a grave threat in the future.
"I wonder what brings the venerable all this way?"
Han Qingxuan soared into the sky, standing above the Main Peak, confronting the strongmen of the Supreme Profound Sect.
Though his voice was not loud, each syllable echoed, resonating with every brick and grass of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
