Chapter 510: Ling Xiao

“Goodbye! My Jingtan Peak is already sparse in population. If Master doesn’t return and if something happens to us, there will be no one left at Jingtan Peak.”

“You wouldn’t want our lineage to lose its inheritance here, would you? You know that this mountain will belong to you in the future!”

Hearing Ji Yang’s response, Xu Yiheng quickly calmed down.

Just moments ago, he had been caught up in the excitement of the battle’s momentum, but even if he did choose to help, he couldn’t contribute much—he couldn’t even fly yet.

Moreover, when he looked up at the brutal scene above, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

A battle between cultivators was not child’s play; there were cultivators falling from the sky, and the battle was truly fierce.

At that moment, Ji Yang’s gaze turned to the six people above.

All six were at the Unity with the Dao stage, with the weakest among them being at the mid-stage of Unity with the Dao. However, such power was insignificant in the face of the He Dao Sect.

The He Dao Sect has twelve peaks; even without considering Jingtan Peak, there are still eleven peaks.

If each peak sends out a Peak Master, they would create a two-to-one situation, and the high-level cultivators from the six sects would have no power to resist Yu Li.

But the He Dao Sect did not choose to do so; they only sent out six Peak Masters.

At that moment, those six were being dominated by the Peak Masters sent from the He Dao Sect and appeared to be at a disadvantage.

Given the strength of the six sects, they should not be this weak. Even though they were at a disadvantage, the leading cultivator among them appeared calm and did not attack actively, instead favoring a defensive stance.

It seemed clear that there were more powerful cultivators among the six sects who had not yet appeared, and the current situation likely arose because they miscalculated how the He Dao Sect would respond.

Meanwhile, Li Daoyi was also observing the surroundings, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.

“Master, should we quickly resolve this group of people?”

Beside him, Elder Tian tentatively asked.

Li Daoyi nodded quickly, “Let the other Peak Masters also join in; we need a quick victory!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures soared into the sky!

Looking at the favorable situation and the Peak Masters flying to assist, Li Daoyi’s expression grew serious.

He had not dispatched more cultivators out of caution against other tactics from the six sects.

But now it seemed the six sects had truly only sent these cultivators? That seemed to underestimate the He Dao Sect too much!

For this reason, he chose a cautious approach at first.

But seeing that the six Peak Masters were unable to end things quickly, he had to increase reinforcements. If they could eliminate this batch of cultivators, it might grant the sect some breathing room.

When the leaders of the six sects saw reinforcements from the He Dao Sect, there was no sign of fear on their faces; they did not flee but continued to engage with their opponents.

When they were close enough, Wuyouzi revealed a smile and shouted to the sky, “Please, Ancestor, make your move!”

Upon hearing this, Li Daoyi’s expression changed in surprise.

Everyone looked up.

Suddenly, the sky grew dark, and amidst the darkness, a gigantic face appeared high above the He Dao Sect.

This was an old man with a head of white hair and a flushed face. His huge, cold eyes were enough to strike fear in anyone with just a glance.

When Li Daoyi saw this face, he turned pale, his voice trembling as he exclaimed, “Ling Xiao!”

Elder Tian beside him looked even more grim.

The Taiyi Sect has traditionally used Dao names for its members, such as Wuyouzi and others.

However, the Ling Xiao standing before them was a legendary figure from the early days of the Taiyi Sect, and even the current development of the sect was closely linked to him—he could be considered an Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect.

Li Daoyi never expected that before the battle had even truly begun, the Taiyi Sect would send out such a powerful figure!

Ling Xiao had already reached the Tribulation Crossing stage over a hundred years ago, and now his strength was certainly even greater.

Only the Ancestor of the He Dao Sect, who had yet to be contacted, could match him in battle.

Thinking of this, Li Daoyi did not hesitate to turn and leave, ignoring Ling Xiao above him.

As the enormous face completely emerged, it began to move.

Its mouth opened wide, and a massive tornado erupted from within.

The tornado grew swiftly, engulfing most of the He Dao Sect in an instant.

“I can’t move!”

“I’m flying!”

…

Countless cultivators cried out in shock as they felt their bodies become uncontrollable, drawn towards the tornado.

But in the center of that tornado, there was darkness, and if one were to be sucked in, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.

This was the true top-tier cultivator in the Cultivation World; with a mere display of power, they reached a peak that others could not touch.

At this moment, however, Li Daoyi had long since vanished, his whereabouts unknown.

Not only the ordinary disciples but even the Peak Masters who had previously engaged in battle could not control their bodies.

They were suspended in midair, affected even more intensely.

After the enormous face unleashed this magical power, they found themselves unable to escape.

Now, they could only rely on their strength to protect themselves amidst the wind blades.

Yet even so, they would not be able to hold on for long, as what limited them was not the wind blades but the tremendous essence of the Way contained within this magical power belonging to a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator.

“Ancestor, how mighty!”

Wuyouzi and the others, who had retreated from their earlier battle, quietly watched the scene with smiles on their faces.

The six sects had dared to come attack the He Dao Sect, naturally preparing well for this.

Although the explosion of the Corpse Mushroom was somewhat unexpected, it did not affect the overall situation.

Wuyouzi could not help but wonder why, in the face of such a scene, the Ancestor of the He Dao Sect had not made a move.

At Jingtan Peak, Little Black had already revealed its true form, towering over several meters, its body surrounded by a soft red flame, its four legs firmly anchored to the ground.

Beside it, Xu Yiheng clung tightly to one of Little Black’s front legs, exclaiming in astonishment, “Little Black, I knew you were amazing!”

When the giant face appeared, Little Black had awakened, and the tornado’s emergence compelled it to stop hiding its strength; otherwise, it would have been pulled in.

Other peaks had protective formations to keep low-level disciples safe for a short time.

But Jingtan Peak lacked such a formation, so fortunately, its power was sufficient; otherwise, they would not know how to cope.

Meanwhile, Ji Yang stood steadily on the ground beneath Little Black, completely unaffected.

However, Xu Yiheng thought that Little Black had willingly come to protect Senior Brother Ji, not knowing that Little Black’s action was merely an instinctual reaction to impending danger.

Staying close to Ji Yang, it indeed sensed that the external pull had weakened significantly.

Just as the sect faced a crisis, a powerful voice erupted from the center of the He Dao Sect:

“Do not act recklessly!”

As the words finished, several beams of light shot toward the enormous face hovering above everyone.

After enduring this attack, the giant face shifted slightly, and even the tornado above the He Dao Sect weakened considerably.
