Every Move of the Senior Has Profound Intentions

The imposing presence of King Liehu was intimidating, his strength unmatched, and the formidable protective ancestral formation of the Taihua Sect could be shattered at his will. Fear gripped every member of the Taihua Sect.

"Why must it be this way?" A frail voice sighed as an elderly figure slowly emerged from the depths of the Taihua Sect. His hair was snowy white, his skin wrinkled with age, clearly in the twilight years of his life.

"Tiger King, you don't need to unleash such a slaughter here. I know your child possesses immense strength, unmatched even in the Illusory Realm. There are very few in the Taihua Sect who can contend with your child. I can make them voluntarily open their souls for you to search. The others in the Taihua Sect are innocent."

The elder looked at King Liehu and continued, "I can make them willingly reveal their souls for you, as long as you calm your anger and understand the truth!"

He was willing to sacrifice the elite warriors of the Taihua Sect to save more of its elders and disciples. Although this would greatly weaken the sect, it was better than the complete destruction of the entire Taihua Sect.

"I am willing to voluntarily open my soul, as long as King Liehu can spare us and realize the truth!" The sect leader stepped forward, expressing his willingness.

"I am willing too!"

"This matter has nothing to do with our Taihua Sect!"

All the martial experts of the Taihua Sect in the Illusory Realm stood up, willing to open their souls for King Liehu to search.

"Master!"

"Elders...!" The disciples of the Taihua Sect cried out, filled with sadness. They knew that the sect leader and elders were sacrificing themselves to protect them. The results of the soul searching were clear to them.

The sect leader and elders were sacrificing themselves to save their disciples.

King Liehu remained cold and indifferent, his murderous intent unabated. He had already reached the Transcendent Realm, and no one in the Eastern region could stop him. Even if the death of his child had nothing to do with the Taihua Sect, he was determined to wipe them out. His anger needed an outlet.

"My child died on the territory of your Taihua Sect, and your sect must pay the price. Today, every member of the Taihua Sect, from top to bottom, will die!"

His eyes were icy, and he once again struck with a powerful claw. The formidable laws of order surged, runes filled the air, and the terrifying power of the Transcendent Realm swept over the entire Taihua Mountain.

The void exploded one after another, and the chaotic void energy surged. The ancient buildings of the Taihua Sect collapsed, and the entire Taihua Sect was shaken violently, with rocks rolling down incessantly.

"Taihua, shine brightly!" The founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect roared, mobilizing all the power within him and invoking the sect's supreme defensive art to withstand King Liehu's attack.

A special radiance burst forth from the founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect, exceptionally brilliant and dazzling, with overwhelming power.

The founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect had accidentally captured a unique radiance from the heavens and the earth, which had led him to establish the Taihua Sect. He referred to this unique radiance as 'Taihua.'

"It's useless!" King Liehu sneered, and the claw continued to descend.

In an instant, the special radiance was shattered by the claw, and the founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect was sent flying, crashing into Taihua Mountain. He coughed up hot, crimson blood, severely wounded.

The sect leader and the elders of the Taihua Sect exerted all their power to block King Liehu's claw.

King Liehu's claw was too terrifying and dreadful. When it landed, the entire Taihua Mountain and everyone inside it would be destroyed! 

Puh, puh, puh! Blood sprayed like a torrential rain, and the sect leader and elders of the Taihua Sect were completely unable to resist, being thrown one by one, suffering serious injuries with numerous bones broken.

"Is the Taihua Sect really going to perish like this?"

"We were on the verge of glory. Why must we face this calamity?"

The members of the Taihua Sect wailed, filled with unwillingness. However, they were powerless and had no way to resist. King Liehu's claw was too terrifying, too dreadful, beyond their ability to withstand.

Buzzing sounds filled the air, and at that moment, Xia Yan's face revealed an unusual expression. The phoenix jade pendant in her embrace suddenly trembled violently.

"This is a pendant carved by a great senior..."

With a swish, the phoenix jade pendant in her embrace flew out and blossomed with an immense auspicious aura. A dazzling and unparalleled divine phoenix emerged from the auspicious aura.

The phoenix spread its wings, each feather shimmering with brilliance, exuding a supreme Dao rhythm. It opened its mouth and released a breath of phoenix energy. King Liehu's expression changed drastically, and he hastily withdrew his claw to avoid the phoenix energy.

He tore through the void and attempted to escape, but unfortunately, the phoenix energy had already locked onto him.

Bang!

He fell from the void, his entire tiger body torn apart, blood staining the earth. He was struck by the phoenix energy, completely defenseless, and perished on the spot.

The phoenix hovered in the sky, flying in a circle and scattering boundless auspicious radiance. Finally, it flew towards Xia Yan, transforming back into a jade pendant and falling into her hands.

Gasps of astonishment filled the air, and everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the phoenix jade pendant in Xia Yan's hand.

What kind of pendant was this?

King Liehu, who had entered the Transcendent Realm and was invincible in the Eastern region, was directly killed by a mere pendant?

Their scalps tingled, their souls quivered, and without a doubt, this jade pendant was an unparalleled treasure!

"Where did you get this from?" The founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect approached Xia Yan, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"I bought it... no, it was given to me by a young man," Xia Yan replied, still in shock. She had never expected this phoenix jade pendant to be so terrifying that it could kill someone as powerful as King Liehu.

On the other side, Xiao Lan took out her little lamb jade pendant and held it in her hands. She was filled with excitement, and her hands trembled as she said, "It's truly a treasure!"

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, the founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect's eyes widened even further, and he asked in disbelief, "Given to you by a young man?"

"Oh, no, it was a supreme and transcendent senior who gave it to me. The pendant was carved by the senior, and the senior has a shop in Qingshan City," Xia Yan quickly explained.

"A supreme and transcendent senior is living in Qingshan City!?" The founding ancestor of the Taihua Sect was shaken to his core. If a pendant carved by this senior was so terrifying, how powerful must the senior himself be?

He had never expected that such an unimaginable supreme and transcendent senior was living near their Taihua Sect in Qingshan City!

"Please tell me the whole story," he urgently asked Xia Yan,

 wanting to understand everything.

Xia Yan did not hide anything and told him everything in detail.

"A supreme and transcendent senior wouldn't just casually give things away. Every action of a supreme and transcendent senior must have deep intentions," the founding ancestor marveled. "This senior is incredibly knowledgeable and must have foreseen the calamity that our Taihua Sect would face. That's why the senior gave you the pendant to help us overcome this calamity!"
