This sigh of Chang Yang was filled with indescribable complex feelings. There were both hatred and regrets, as well as that deep feeling of resignation.
It was considered that Chang Tai was blessed with a child in his old age. Although he didn’t pour all his heart and soul into his son, he had been doing his best for his son. It was also because of his son, his cold heart of Dao was given a slimmer of warmth. As such, he took extra care of his son.
He originally thought with his own strength, coupled with the background of the Five Elemental Sacred Land, he would be able to set it right in the end regardless of how great the trouble his son had caused. It wouldn’t be a problem as long as his son wasn’t targeted by the several other Sacred Lands.
This was because Chang Tai knew well about the truth that the fist wields power. There weren’tmany experts in this realm, who were able to block off his fist.
As such, the troubles that his son caused, wouldn’t be called trouble, but instead the right to enjoy supreme authority. In the end, he had now met with someone troublesome. Such was fate. Such was life.
“You’re from the outside world, aren’t you?” Chang Tai was a perfect stage Quasi-Sage Expert after all. The fact that he didn’t recognize Jiang Ming meant only such a possibility.
“That’s right!” Jiang Ming nodded. “You allowed Chang Yang to do whatever he wants in this world because Chang Yang’s strength was quite enough and also the fact that you would be able to right any trouble that he might cause. It is so unfortunate that you didn’t imagine there would be those from the outside world.”
“Yes! If I had known this, I would have disciplined him well. He wouldn’t have died today, and wouldn’t have also provoked such a terrifying existence like you to the sect!” Chang Tai sighed. Then, he said, “Senior, this is our Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm. With the Dao Patriarch at the top, there are also six disciples of Saints below him. To assault our Five Elemental Sacred Land in such a lawless manner, are you not afraid of being targeted by the Six Saints? They may be conflicting against each other internally but they will definitely unite when facing external forces.”
“Haha! You’re threatening me in return I see.” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Ask your master to show himself. I want to try and see if I can slaughter a Saint!”
“Slaughter a Saint?” Chang Tai’s heart sank.
Right this moment, a streak of luminance shot across the sky and came to Chang Tai’s side in a blink of an eye. This was a woman with the posture of an immortal and gave off a feeling of peerless temperament.
“Senior Chang Tai, who actually killed our child? Why is the Verdant Emperor here?” It was apparent that this lady was Bing Yue, the Seventh Disciple of the Five Elemental Saint Lord. She was also the mother of Chang Yang, and the wife of Chang Tai.
“I’ve only gone to Heaven Court for a while, and I sensed from the bloodline that our son has lost his life.” Bing Yue’s expression was extremely cold, “Tell me, are these his killers?”
She pointed towards Jiang Ming.
“Stop making a scene!” Chang Tai hushed her in a rush.
“Stop making a scene?” Bing Yue was infuriated. “Our son has died and you’re asking me to not make a scene? Haha! Chang Tai, you coward! No matter who killed my son, I’ll make him pay dearly!”
“By the way, our son went off to capture Dongfang Chenxi. Why is she still safe and sound? Why is she here? Why didn’t you kill her? No. You should suppress her. I want to simmer her with the Nine Fiery of the Netherworld for ten billion years!” Bing Yue was shrieking neurotically.
“Was he killed by the Verdant Emperor?”
“Or is it this person here?”
“Chang Tai! Tell me! Did this wretched-looking man kill our son? What are you actually afraid of?”
A bright moon could be seen rising on top of Bing Yue’s head. Its clear luminance lit up the world. The chilling cold aura emanating into the surrounding made even Great Overarching Golden Immortals to tremble.
Jiang Ming actually enjoyed himself listening to the duo. He felt that Bing Yue’s mind was in complication. A Quasi-Sage Expert should never lose their rationality, even when enraged. However, Jiang Ming speculated that she had seen their sect under calamity and Chang Tai’s current expression as though he was facing a great enemy. She should be able to guess how strong he was.
She wanted to strike, but there were still some scruples. To not do anything however, her blazing anger seemingly burned off her rational thoughts. That was what made her become this neurotic. Her last sentence however, was obvious that she couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Wretched-looking man?” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but laugh. Following that, he focused his gaze, and Bing Yue’s body suddenly stiffened. With a thump, her whole body exploded, and died tragically on the spot.
“Stop! Don’t…” Upon hearing her wife’s last sentence, Chang Tai felt that something was off. He hurriedly exclaimed but it was still too late.”
“You’re a Saint! How can you lay your hands on the juniors?” Chang Tai’s body was trembling. His eyes were set ablaze with anger.
“You knew that I’m a Saint. She was insulting a Saint. For her to die and for her soul to perish is already considered the lightest punishment! Jiang Ming glanced at a distance and couldn’t help but sneered, “Your master is really a coward. He still hasn’t appeared by now. There’s also the few other Saint Lords cowering. Haha! Interesting. Since he doesn’t want to show himself, I’ll force him to!”
“Death to all of you!” Jiang Ming’s face turned cold as he struck out forcefully.
A bell could be seen appearing on top of his head. It was the Saint Weapon, Astral Golden Bell. Just as he was about to evoke the Saint Weapon, the void sank steeply. A terrifying aura swept through the air, falling upon them.
The heaven cracked open as Five Elemental Dao Fluctuation swept across the land, pervading the entire great chiliocosm.
Immediately after, five different colors of divine luminance bloomed, covering the lands and encompassing the sky.
It was then followed by three million miles of purple coloured aura pouring out of it. Deafening immortal tones swept through. It even felt as though the sky was collapsing onto them.
As the Saint emerged, purple auras followed.
An old man could be seen appearing not far away. The top of his head was a five coloured wheel of luminance. An illusory world could be seen behind him, with a Five Elemental Treasure Tree growing inside.
This person was none other than the Five Elemental Saint Lord.
“A dignified Saint bullying the juniors. Fellow Daoist, you’re disgracing our pride as Saints!” There wasn’t a trace of anger on Five Elemental Saint Lord’s expression but her voice was filled with boundless chills.
“I thought you’d continue to cower and stay out of it!” Jiang Ming merely laughed, unimpressed by this Saint Lord.
‘The dignity of Saints? Sorry, I’m not a Saint! I’m just a Great Overarching Golden Immortal, comprehending the Great Overarching Laws and the fruits of Great Overarching Dao.:
“Fellow Daoist. You’re thinking of destroying my whole Dao lineage just because of the skirmishes between the juniors?” The Five Elemental Saint Lord’s expression suddenly turned ugly. He waved his hands in between words and his many disciples bowed and retreated into the distance.
Chang Tai’s gaze at Jiang Ming carried obvious hatred towards him. If not for his strength, he would have rushed up to Jiang Ming.
“Juniors?” Jiang Ming shook his head, “Chenxi is my sister, a person comparable to my real sister. Your disciples are bullying my sister. Is it not natural for me to exterminate this Dao lineage of yours?”
“To think that a little third-generation disciple is lawless enough to openly besiege and kill the Great Emperor Dongfang of the Heaven Court, to even go up into the Great Emperor Dongfang’s palace to plunder and bully a woman. Heh! You call yourself the Sacred Land, yet reckless to such a degree. You can see how arrogant your so-called sect is. Lawless, virtueless, immoral and corrupt. That’s why they all deserve to die!”
Jiang Ming’s voice rumbled and spread throughout the world.
With a thought, he took the two complicated-looking Dongfang Chenxi and Great Emperor Dongfang into his inner world. It wasn’t suitable for them to watch the upcoming great battle.
“Sharp-tongued.” The Five Elemental Saint Lord snorted coldly. “To be so rampant as you descend into our chiliocosm. What of it? Is your chiliocosm planning on invading us here?”
“Calling me an intruder so that you can take the moral high ground? There’s no need!” Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “My purpose was initially to save my sister. However, I discovered the doings of your Sacred Land disciples which gave me a different idea…”
A blade appeared in his hand. It was a Saint weapon, the Golden Obsidian. As he held onto the Saint blade, his aura rose continuously.
“I want to see if I can kill a Saint within a Great Chiliocosm. Truly to…” Jiang Ming said word by word, “Slaughter a Saint!”
The Five Elemental Saint Lord’s expression changed drastically.
