Chapter 328: After the modification: Chapter 327 Catastrophe “Besides what?” Bai Ziyue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked. *He felt that something seemed hidden within this person’s words.* The cultivator remained silent, but his eyes flashed with endless venomous hatred. If he weren’t lacking in strength, he would definitely have fought Bai Ziyue with all his might. The more Bai Ziyue asked, the less willing he seemed to open his mouth. “Your gaze disgusts me. Now, since you don’t want to speak...” Bai Ziyue’s eyes flashed coldly as he said softly, “Then don’t say it ever again.” “Not good...” “How dare you!” Amidst the exclamations, the Spell-Dodging Divine Sword floating around Bai Ziyue shot out once more, disappearing in a flash. Even Fang Ping, who had reached the Mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, couldn’t block Bai Ziyue’s sword. Although that was when he was unprepared, the force and terror of this sword were felt by everyone. Thud! Without any surprises, the flying sword pierced through, directly penetrating his head. “And you? Not speaking either?” Bai Ziyue turned to look at another cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation. “You’re doomed, you’re doomed.” The fellow cultivator looked fearful, with a trace of resentment in his eyes, but his tone was utterly mad, “Don’t be afraid to tell you, our Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect originally planned to inspect this place soon, they’ll be here within a day or two. By then, it will be your death day. Even if you manage to escape back to the Sunrise Daoist Sect, you won’t escape death.” “Oh?” *Bai Ziyue’s eyes chilled as a burst of defiance involuntarily arose within him.* *The mobilization of the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect? Why on earth come to this desolate and remote Demon Ridge Ore Vein?* *There was only one possibility.* *That was himself!* Evidently, the Grand Daoist Sect hadn’t given up on his Immortal Martial Hand Seal and Circulation Inference Mirror. The Grand Daoist Sect leader personally acted last time but returned unsuccessfully. This time, the Grand Daoist Sect clearly learned from the lesson, sending their stronger Grand Elder and the equally powerful Second Elder compared to Zhou Qing. *And most importantly, there were no longer high-ranking experts from the Sunrise Daoist Sect coming to rescue here. So this time the Grand Daoist Sect was determined to win.* At this thought, his killing intent surged uncontrollably from within him. They couldn’t wait to act against him even before he found them? Even though he had anticipated that his visit to the Demon Ridge Ore Vein would not be overlooked by the Grand Daoist Sect, he was still angered by their swift response. “Call everyone into action!” The cultivator noticed Bai Ziyue’s strange expression and misunderstood that he might attack, so in endless fear, he fiercely screamed. Buzz! Layers upon layers of arrays were quickly activated. Suddenly, there was a repelling force on Bai Ziyue, making him feel out of place, as though unnecessary in this world. Additionally, an endless spiritual energy forced upon him, making his every move more laborious than before. *His full strength was suppressed from ten to eight tenths.* Simultaneously, dozens of cultivators and over a hundred martial artists began to move. Even though Bai Ziyue’s sword slaying Fang Ping shocked and terrified them, instinctively, they believed Bai Ziyue had only succeeded in a sneak attack, and his real strength was not as formidable as imagined. Far less than Immortal Master Fang Ping. Confidently, they believed they could capture Bai Ziyue if they joined forces, aided by the arrays. Various magical artifacts, flying swords, flying knives, spears, spikes... Along with talismans and magic, transformed into beams of light, attacked Bai Ziyue fiercely. Many martial artists, weapons glowing, transformed into Sword Aura and Sword Qi, sweeping towards Bai Ziyue. “Hmm? Courting death!” Bai Ziyue’s gaze lifted, revealing a trace of cold light. Although he hadn’t intended to continue the entanglement, since his opponents dared to strike, he showed no mercy. With one hand raised slightly, space undulated with violent spiritual energy, stirring the world and sending out strong waves. An enormous handprint emerged in space, becoming increasingly clear and large. Buzz! With a palm strike, the world trembled. The array covering the entire Mining Bureau shattered under the massive palm print as if it was nothing substantial, easily torn apart with slight vibrations. Boom! Boom! Boom! Numerous array bases, array discs, and array banners shattered into fragments, losing their effectiveness. Yet, the palm print continued unabated, meeting all the attacks. Boom! Boom! Boom! Like a whirlwind crushing dry leaves, from flying sword to flying knife, talismans to magic, Sword Qi to Sword Aura... Each attack disintegrated upon contact with the palm print. Countless magical artifacts were flung away, with some lower-grade ones directly shattering. At least seven or eight cultivators spewed a mouthful of blood, their spirits withering. Bang! With a thunderous crash, the palm print fell upon the distant hall. The towering, majestic hall fortified by arrays swiftly crumbled, collapsing into ruins. Simultaneously, a flying sword like a dragon in the sea darted through in an instant. Thud! Thud! Thud! Almost in the blink of an eye, three Ninth Layer immortal cultivators dead, not even managing to scream. “Ah...” It wasn’t until the fourth steward of the Grand Daoist Sect’s Mining Bureau that he realized the arrival of the flying sword and let out a tragic scream. “Escape...” The instant collapse left everyone at the Grand Daoist Sect’s Mining Bureau in horror. Without any hesitation, everyone fled in all directions, completely losing the will to resist. *”How is this possible? How is this possible? Didn’t he kill Immortal Master Fang Ping through a sneak attack?* *With such strength, such terrifying momentum, even confronting Immortal Master Fang Ping directly, he should definitely have the upper hand...”* They were horrified, incredibly shocked. Only then did they realize that Bai Ziyue’s strength was not just not weak, but terrifyingly strong. He was even more formidable than Immortal Master Fang Ping. “Nine million nine hundred and fifty thousand points of soul energy.” Bai Ziyue was about to continue his assault when his gaze swept over the soul energy value, finally causing him to pause. While killing these people would indeed be satisfying, it would push his soul energy past the ten-million mark, automatically triggering an unwanted upgrade. “Consuming 150,000 soul energy points can ignite five acupoints!” “Ignite!” With a thought, Bai Ziyue consumed a small portion of the soul energy value again. In a flash, within the numerous acupoints operated by the Purple Qi Divine Observation Skill Opening Chapter in his body, five more acupoints were quickly ignited, shining brightly. His aura also grew increasingly dense. The Immortal Technique Realm he had originally concealed was now fully revealed. “Mid-stage Enlightenment Realm... Is he at the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm of Immortal Technique?” A cry of surprise sounded, and the faces of everyone turned ashen. Some even gave up struggling, kneeling on the ground in despair and trembling violently. They never expected that Bai Ziyue had already broken through, reaching the strength of the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm. “Within one hour, I want to see all your people retreat from the spirit stone ore vein, or else everyone will be buried with you.” However, Bai Ziyue had already lost interest in pursuing them further. He spoke indifferently, then soared into the sky, using Sword Control to quickly leave. Ten minutes later, Bai Ziyue arrived at the Sunrise Daoist Sect’s spirit stone ore vein. The eagerly awaiting ore vein steward hurried to meet him. “Inspector, what did Immortal Master Fang Ping say? Is he willing to retreat?” One of the stewards impatiently asked. The others, however, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. He returned so quickly, and Bai Ziyue’s face did not seem bright but rather gloomy. It was evident without asking that the negotiation had fallen through this time. On reflection, it seemed quite understandable. Who would willingly give up something that’s already in their mouth? Going alone, Bai Ziyue surely could not have achieved any favorable outcome. “He is not willing.” Bai Ziyue spoke. “As expected!” Everyone expressed understanding. “So, I fought until they agreed. Soon, send someone over to take over the ore vein. Now the entire ore vein will belong to our Sunrise Daoist Sect. I doubt they would dare to obstruct.” Bai Ziyue continued speaking. “Fought until they agreed? And you can directly send someone to take over the entire spirit stone ore vein? Really?” Everyone was shocked and found it somewhat unbelievable. “Then where is Immortal Master Fang Ping? Isn’t he around?” A steward hastily asked. Immortal Master Fang Ping was a mid-stage Enlightenment Realm expert. Before Wu Zonghui was injured, he often showed weakness to him and needed to rely on Inspector Wang and the banner of the Sunrise Daoist Sect to stand firm. If the other party hadn’t agreed, even if Bai Ziyue used his strength to force the Grand Daoist Sect’s Mining Bureau to agree, it wouldn’t have much effect. “Fang Ping? He’s dead, killed by me.” Bai Ziyue casually said, ignoring them, and stepped directly toward the Inspectorate in the spirit stone ore vein. “Immortal Master Fang Ping is dead?” A steward widened his eyes. “Killed by Inspector Bai?” They were stunned. But seeing Bai Ziyue’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying. Could it be true? But how could it be possible? They were half-convinced, half-doubtful, then looked at each other but saw no joy on each other’s faces, instead revealing infinite worry. “If it’s true... when the Grand Daoist Sect comes for reckoning...” “This is a major event indeed.” “Immortal Master Fang Ping is dead, the Grand Daoist Sect will definitely send people to investigate and retaliate...” “The Grand Daoist Sect isn’t far from here. If they’re quick, they’ll arrive in half a day; if slow, only a day. Although it takes time for the news to spread, it will only take two days at most for the Grand Daoist Sect to send strong men...” “It’s over...” “What was thought to be a solution to the problem has turned into a disaster.” “What should we do now?” ...
