When the celestial phenomenon appeared, all the outer sect disciples of the Kao Shan Sect revealed expressions of shock, staring blankly at the sky, their minds buzzing. They involuntarily looked bewildered, unable to comprehend the changes in heaven and earth.
Looking up at the sky and seeing the golden light-filled scriptures, the hearts of the outer sect disciples pounded with fright. The fat man, who was still grinding his teeth with the fish-scale sword, making a rasping sound, was also stunned at this moment, almost injuring his tongue.
Shangguan Tu, who was in seclusion, suddenly raised his head at this moment. After clearly seeing the sky, his whole body trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes. Immediately after, his face changed color, remembering something that filled him with extreme panic. He immediately stood up and rushed off. In his room, a teleportation array, which had been set up for an unknown number of years, appeared.
He used the fastest speed possible, stepping into the array in an instant and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, in the East Peak Main Hall, the three people, Meng Hao, had just appeared. He Luohua's face completely changed. He rushed out fiercely to look at the sky, his face turning pale, his body staggering backward, looking extremely displeased.
Elder Ouyang was not slow either. He had already rushed out of the main hall and was also grimly looking up at the sky.
"What did you stir up in the Ancestor's seclusion place?"
Elder Ouyang turned his head. At this moment, he was extremely serious, his words even carrying a hint of sternness.
"A stone tablet appeared right after the three disciples came out of the Ancestor's seclusion place, but this disciple was worried that this stone tablet would bring disaster to the sect, so I deliberately did not bring it out. I only recorded the scriptures on it!"
Chen Fan opened his mouth bitterly, taking out a jade slip. Meng Hao and Xu Qing also took out their jade slips with the recorded scriptures and handed them to Elder Ouyang.
"This is..."
As soon as he saw it, Elder Ouyang's eyes showed disbelief.
"No need to look anymore, that is fake. Whether it's the stone tablet or the celestial phenomenon in the sky, they are all fake!"
He Luohua sighed, lowered his head to look at the ground, and after a moment, shook his head.
"The other sects in Zhao State are also about to arrive. This calamity, the Kao Shan Sect cannot avoid. They are coming for the Ancestor!"
He Luohua waved his hand, and immediately, the entire Kao Shan Sect roared. A halo appeared, covering all eight directions.
"You three, as inner sect disciples, wait in the main hall!"
Almost as He Luohua spoke these words, streaks of light flashed in the sky, emitting sharp sounds as if to pierce through the halo. At the same time, nearly twenty streaks of light were rapidly approaching from all directions.
In just a blink of an eye, those streaks of light appeared outside the Kao Shan Sect's light barrier. Waves of pressure descended, causing the ground to shake and the surrounding mountains to tremble as if they were about to collapse. The surrounding desolate mountains became silent, all the fierce beasts trembling, not daring to make a sound.
Among the nearly twenty people in the sky, six were at the center. These six people, four men and two women, were all old, dressed in noble robes, revealing cultivation that made heaven and earth change color.
Behind these six people, each had two or three followers. Although they were attendant cultivators, their cultivation was equal to that of Elder Ouyang. These nearly twenty people could be said to be the entire highest power of Zhao State. At this moment, all of them had come to the Kao Shan Sect, like dark clouds pressing down.
"Kao Shan Sect!"
The shout echoed from above, like rolling thunder, instantly reverberating in all directions. The outer sect pavilions of the Kao Shan Sect cracked open, and most of the outer sect disciples spat out fresh blood, their faces filled with terror.
"Feng Han Sect, what great prestige!"
He Luohua stood on the mountaintop, letting out a cold snort. His voice, like a clap of thunder, pressed back against the other person. He waved his hand, and the heavens and earth immediately roared. An invisible finger wind howled upwards, shooting straight towards the opponent. As the finger wind approached, it let out a low growl, and the void around the person's body instantly turned black, as if forming a large mouth intending to devour this Core Formation old monster of the Feng Han Sect. This caused the old man from the Feng Han Sect to change color, and he quickly retreated without hesitation.
"Enough, Daoist Friend He. The celestial phenomena appeared from within your Kao Shan Sect. You need to explain this matter clearly."
Among the six Core Formation cultivators, an old man in a purple robe embroidered with flute patterns frowned, waved his hand, and spoke. The blackness in the void dissipated without a trace. He lowered his head and looked at He Luohua. Although his words were gentle, his imposing aura was overwhelming.
At this moment, the outer sect was completely silent, and the shadow of death enveloped everyone's hearts. Meng Hao and the other two were silent. They all clearly understood that those outside cultivators possessed terrifying cultivation. With just a wave of their hands, they could easily kill them.
Meng Hao was secretly shaken. He looked at the figures in the sky outside the main hall. This was the first time he had seen so many powerful cultivators, and his desire to become stronger grew even more intense.
On East Peak, He Luohua was silent. He raised his head to look at the sky and sighed for a long while.
"Explain what? As for why those celestial phenomena appeared, I, He, do not know!"
"Surrender and open your Kao Shan Sect's grand formation. Let our divine senses search. This is the explanation. Otherwise, don't blame us for not considering that we are all cultivators from the Zhao State and taking action to destroy your formation and annihilate the Kao Shan Sect!"
The old man in the purple robe revealed killing intent and spoke in a gloomy tone.
"Annihilate my Kao Shan Sect..."
He Luohua suddenly laughed. His laughter grew louder and louder, spreading throughout the entire Kao Shan Sect and echoing between heaven and earth. In his laughter, one could see Ouyang on the side with a look of suicidal intent, the three inner sect disciples in the main hall in silent despair, and the many outer sect disciples bleeding from their seven orifices, as well as their despair and helplessness.
With what could they resist? With what could they ensure the survival of the Kao Shan Sect disciples? With what could they escape this calamity?
"As long as I am the Sect Master of the Kao Shan Sect for one day, I will not allow outsiders to humiliate my Kao Shan Sect. But I truly have no way to protect everyone..."
He Luohua's laughter carried sorrow, but vaguely, there was also a hint of release.
"Kao Shan Sect, even if you are not annihilated, you won't last much longer. If that's the case... Today, the Kao Shan Sect will disband. These several mountain peaks, I don't need them!"
He Luohua waved his hand, and his figure flew up. Ouyang was stunned, then silently flew after him. The two stood in the sky, looking down at the Kao Shan Sect, at the home where they had lived for several cycles of sixty years, their expressions filled with sorrow.
"All disciples, listen to my command. Today, the Kao Shan Sect disbands. From now on, you are no longer people of the Kao Shan Sect! There is no longer a Kao Shan Sect in this world!"
He Luohua's eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, the powerful cultivators of the Zhao State were shocked by He Luohua's words, but merely sneered.
"Are you satisfied now? Whether there's a supreme treasure here or not, it has nothing to do with this old man, and nothing to do with the sectless youngsters below. If you dare to harm anyone, this old man will blow up the formation... We'll all perish together!"
He Luohua spoke with resolute determination, her words brimming with hatred, making it impossible for the powerful cultivators of Zhao State to remain calm.
