Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Unfortunately, Elder Wang's All Attributes had suddenly dropped to the fifth level of the Dharma Realm.

Even if he had myriad Taoist magic, at this moment, he couldn't unleash the power of the Jiao Dragon Art.

But the dragon shape kept flickering incessantly.

Shen Ye didn't even know what was happening when he was struck flying out, Xiao Mengyu's long sword was also knocked away, deeply embedding itself into the eaves of the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Exorcising Grand Hall.

——Elder Wang had withstood that exceedingly dangerous attack!

Yet, he stood stiff and motionless in place.

"What swordsmanship is this?"

Elder Wang asked somberly.

"Exiled Celestial Fall," Xiao Mengyu replied.

"Good swordsmanship," Elder Wang praised.

"Of course, it is good swordsmanship," Xiao Mengyu said.

"The sword is also good," Elder Wang added.

"Naturally, it's a good sword," Xiao Mengyu murmured softly: "Beauty fades, white-headed, spring has passed; where to find a bosom friend in the world."

The Luo Shen Sword has triple potency:

"Beauty's Transcendent Slash;"

"White-headed's Life-Stealing Force Bursting with Multiple Sword Glows;"

"Where to Find a Bosom Friend in the World, makes it so that as the sword is drawn, it turns into a form without substance or shape, elusive and unperceivable, guaranteed to hit the target."

However, Xiao Mengyu didn't mention that she had used the sword technique's mental method taught by Gu Nianxue during the attack.

The sword's lethality suddenly skyrocketed to an unimaginable degree!

This wasn't because the power was increasing.

But rather, using this sword technique, she nearly instantly found the enemy's flaws; the attack was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, never in vain.

What a terrifying swordsmanship mental method!

People looked towards Xiao Mengyu, only to see her holding a short sword about half an arm's length with a reverse grip.

——So there was another sword hidden within the flying sword.

Mother and Child Swords!

Blood was on the sword.

Could it be——

Elder Wang nodded slightly and said firmly:

"Old man really should not have interceded in this matter."

Before his words finished, he leaped into the sky, looking as if he was about to escape far away.

But then a streak of light flew from the sky, grabbed his head, and kicked him back to the ground.

Boom!!!

The doors of the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Exorcising Hall had been smashed.

Standing in mid-air was a white-haired Taoist.

Elder Liu!

People exclaimed in shock.

This was another influential elder in the sect.

However, Elder Liu paid no attention to the others and with a flash, he pounced, dragging Elder Wang out like a dead dog and stepping on him.

Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu exchanged a glance.

It was Xu Xingke!

He had finally come!

Elder Liu looked indifferent, reaching for a cigarette, then remembering his current identity, he paused his action.

Irritably, he began:

"Most of your meridians have been severed, and you still dare put on an act in front of the disciples?"

Raising his fist——

"Stop! It was the old man's fault this time!" Elder Wang hastily said.

The fist made a "click, click" sound but ultimately stopped.

The intent to kill was retracted.

He stopped.

Xiao Mengyu and Shen Ye looked at each other in astonishment.

"Zhou Manyun, Zhao Xingshi, follow me into the hall,"

Elder Liu ordered indifferently.

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

Leading the way, Elder Liu, with the two behind him, entered the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Exorcising Grand Hall with seeming slowness but actual swiftness.

Inside the grand hall.

Several jade tokens were floating in mid-air.

Each jade token represented a designated task.

Once you took a jade token and stood on the corresponding Teleportation Array, you would be transported to the nearest sect branch for the mission.

"Pick a task for immediate transmission,"

Elder Liu telepathically instructed.

Xiao Mengyu understood and released her spiritual power for a sweep, immediately calling over a jade token with her hand.

"Beta Array number five,"

she said quickly.

"Let's go!" Elder Liu commanded.

Outside the grand hall, an endless surge of dark energy suddenly welled up.

"You go, I'll hold them off," Elder Liu changed his tune.

"No, let's go together," Shen Ye grabbed his hand and dashed towards the Array.

He glanced back.

Beside Elder Wang, a palm-sized doll suddenly popped up, kicking him into the air and blocking the entrance to the grand hall.

The three stood on the Teleportation Array.

In an instant.

Something seemed to rush towards them.

"Gate,"

Shen Ye shouted lowly.

The Heaven-Reaching Gate materialized in front of the three, opening directly.

——The Seal Gate was nearly exhausted of his strength and could no longer be opened, so this was a "Cross-Obstacle" Heaven-Reaching Gate.

Boom——

With a deafening noise intermingled with distant and close screams,

it seemed as if something had struck the outside of the grand hall.

Then,

something passed through the gate, also passed through the three marked as "obstacles," and hit the wall opposite the grand hall.

The entire wall, along with the mountain behind it, was blasted away.

Cracks of darkness split the void, activating the Mountain Protection Array in even more distant places.

Shen Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.

Such terrifying power!

Probably all the disciples outside the hall were already dead.

Then—

He gestured with his hand.

But in the rolling dust, a good buddy doll, carrying a storage bag, flew back.

"Master Wei" had taken effect!

Under this designation, once the enemy was killed, he would certainly gain something!

Shen Ye grabbed the storage bag and dismissed the doll.

It seemed slow, but this all happened in an instant.

The three had no further thoughts.

Go!

——Go now!

Xu Xingke swiftly pulled out a card and placed it on the Array, shouting decisively:

"Activate immediately."

Hum——

A burst of light exploded from the Array.

Teleportation activated!

In a flash.

The three disappeared without a trace.

...

The third level of the trial.

The three opened their eyes together.

"Teacher, just now you didn't even bother to kill that elder, you just took us and left,"

Shen Ye said.

Xu Xingke lit a cigarette, taking a drag, then squinted and said:

"No choice... Penglai Immortal Mountain is done for."

"Done for?" Shen Ye asked.

"Many of the elders and disciples on the mountain are not human, the grand array is being eroded by demonic Qi, everything is heading towards destruction, beyond salvation," Xu Xingke explained.
