Chapter 195: Chapter 138: Fame Spreads Far and Wide, Ten Thousand Experts Descend Upon Xingyue

In the boundless void, a vast ocean of Eastern Domain Cultivators gazed at the figure in white standing within the Celestial Sword Sect. Their eyes were filled with absolute shock and horror. This was a scene none of them would ever forget for the rest of their lives.

Just as that Nanling prodigy had said, at this moment, in everyone’s eyes, that figure truly seemed more like an Exiled Immortal than the Exiled Immortal Fairy of Longevity Mountain herself.

But even more so, the majority of the crowd was completely stupefied by his final palm strike.

"How dare he?"

"To do that right in front of Master Cangchen and countless Supreme Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect... This guy is completely insane."

At this moment, even Ji Qingxue and her group were so shocked by the youth’s ruthless and decisive methods that they were left practically speechless.

Having done all this, Jiang Hao did not linger. Under the watchful eyes of countless Cultivators, he slowly walked toward the outside of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Trying to leave? It won’t be that easy!"

"Men, activate the Celestial Sword Killing Array! We absolutely cannot let him take a single step out of the Celestial Sword Sect!" several Celestial Sword Sect Elders immediately roared, their eyes practically spitting fire.

However, the moment their words fell, Saint Cangchen, consumed by rage, spoke up abruptly. His voice was practically trembling as he spoke. "Let him go."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect abruptly raised their eyes, filled with incomprehension and unwillingness. "Sect Leader?"

"Sect Leader, we absolutely cannot let him leave just like that! Even if it means detonating all the Sacred Artifacts of our Celestial Sword Sect, even if my old bones are ground to dust, we must kill this boy today!"

"Master Cangchen, this boy absolutely cannot be spared. If we let him leave today, it will lead to endless trouble in the future!"

"Hmph, so what if there are restrictions from the Battle of Celestial Prides? Even if we all fall, we must kill him! I refuse to believe that sacrificing the lives of all the Elders of our Eastern Domain Celestial Sword Sect won’t be enough to destroy a single Celestial Pride Mark!"

Countless Celestial Sword Sect Elders erupted with world-shaking power. Some Supreme Elders even brought out their sect-suppressing Sacred Artifacts, looking entirely prepared to fight to the bitter end.

Yet, in the very next moment, accompanied by Master Cangchen’s furious roar, the many Celestial Sword Sect experts who had been blinded by their rage finally snapped back to their senses. "I said, let him go!"

Although they all spoke of fighting to the death, everyone knew very well that let alone a mere branch of the Celestial Sword Sect, even if they sacrificed the entire main sect, they wouldn’t be able to shake the restrictions in the slightest. Master Cangchen clearly understood this better than anyone else. Truly worthy of being a Sect Leader, he was still able to read the situation clearly even at a time like this.

Leaving aside the restrictions of the Battle of Celestial Prides, even without them, there were still countless Nanling experts standing outside the Celestial Sword Sect. This was especially true for those towering figures at the Peak of the Firmament. With the situation having developed to this point, if the Celestial Sword Sect forcefully made him stay, it would undoubtedly trigger a Holy War in an instant.

"Open the Sect Protection Array and send him out." Suppressing the fury in his heart, Master Cangchen spoke once more as he looked at a certain Celestial Sword Sect Elder who obstinately refused to move.

That Elder’s eyes were brimming with killing intent, but in the end, he could only let out a helpless, bitter sigh. With a wave of his hand, he tore open a gap in the grand array.

Watching the white-clad figure slowly walk out of the Celestial Sword Sect step by step, monstrous ripples surged in the hearts of the countless Cultivators.

As that figure stepped out of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Protection Array, the supreme experts from both sides slowly drew their battle lines. Before long, Jiang Hao arrived beside Jiang Renfeng and Yan Nantian, regrouping with the countless older generation experts of Nanling. Beside Master Cangchen, all the Saint Realm Supreme Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect, along with an overwhelming number of peerless Venerables, Venerables of Heaven and Earth, and Divine Kings, also gathered together. The scene was absolutely breathtaking.

For a time, the atmosphere across the entire Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect was stifling to the extreme.

Master Cangchen remained facing the direction of the Celestial Sword Sect, never once casting his gaze toward that figure. However, just as Jiang Hao was about to enter the camp of the many Nanling experts...

"Young man." Saint Cangchen finally spoke. His voice seemed much calmer, but often, the calmer the words, the more terrifying the killing intent hidden within them. "Do you really think the restrictions of the Battle of Celestial Prides can protect you for a lifetime?"

Looking at the Celestial Sword Sect, which was covered in the smoke of war, and the swathes of heavily injured prodigies, endless cold light glinted in Master Cangchen’s eyes.

"The Battle of Celestial Prides is divided into three stages in total. During the first stage, the older generation cannot raise a hand against you, allowing you to act recklessly without fear.

"But in the second stage, Dao Entrance Realm Cultivators and Elders will no longer be restricted. When that time comes, all the Daoist Cultivators and Elders of my Celestial Sword Sect will be able to suppress and kill you.

"My Celestial Sword Sect has remembered everything you’ve done today.

"This Saint also swears here and now: for as long as I live, no matter who protects you, my Celestial Sword Sect will kill you at any cost.

"Go back and stay put. You don’t have much time left."

After Master Cangchen finished speaking, his eyelids twitched wildly. As a dignified Sect Leader who had swept through the Eastern Domain for thousands of years, he never expected to suffer such a setback at the hands of a junior today. This was a grievance that this old Saint likely couldn’t swallow.

In the face of Master Cangchen’s highly threatening words, a mocking smile curled the corners of Jiang Hao’s lips. He didn’t even turn his head. Facing the Celestial Sword Sect, he now had only three short words:

"I’ll be waiting."

With that, Jiang Hao took a step forward. His white clothes fluttered as he walked straight out of the Celestial Sword Sect. He had now obtained the information he wanted—his father was still alive. That point alone was enough; nothing else mattered.

Listening to the youth’s words, Master Cangchen finally closed his eyes slowly. However, beneath his calm exterior, it seemed as though he was suppressing a terrifying volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Jiang Hao did not pause any longer, taking a step to leave this realm. With his current strength, he still couldn’t shake those older generation figures. Staying behind any longer was already completely meaningless.
