Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1381 Zhuge Benlei's Great-Grandfather

The techniques and fighting styles used in battles between cultivation masters and cultivation novices are completely different.

The realm of divine silence is what distinguishes masters from novices.

Below the level of divine silence are novices, below the level of divine silence are experts, and those who are in the divine silence are neither experts nor novices.

Above the realm of divine silence lies the realm of celestial beings, the so-called unity of heaven and man. Here, "heaven" does not refer to the heavens, but to the Dao of Heaven, which is the law.

The cultivator's understanding of the laws of the universe has reached a very high level, allowing him to merge his physical body with the laws.

When experts above the Celestial Realm fight, techniques, supernatural abilities, movement methods, footwork, fist techniques, leg techniques, and sword techniques are no longer important. Even the true essence and spiritual power within their bodies are no longer important. What they are fighting for is the power of the laws.

In a battle, a Celestial Realm expert will unleash a very powerful force of law, which, once dispersed, will create immense pressure.

On the night of the internal strife in the Cloud Sea Sect, Ye Feng and several other junior disciples who had not yet reached the Divine Silence Realm were also in the plaza. However, Ye Feng and the others could not participate in the battle. Even if they hid in the mountaintop plaza, they had to activate their magic artifacts to set up a defensive circle to resist the powerful pressure from the sky. Once they stepped outside the defensive circle, they would be severely injured by the pressure.

The Celestial Realm and the Void Transformation Realm are completely overwhelming when dealing with cultivators of lower cultivation levels.

More than forty Celestial Beings and Void Transformation Realm experts simultaneously unleashed a single palm strike, causing the entire mountain peak to collapse by a hundred feet.

Under such immense pressure, hundreds of houses on the mountain were instantly crushed into dust.

More than half of the human cultivators on the mountain were killed instantly before they could even react.

Those who survived by sheer luck were mostly cultivators with considerable skill.

Unless they had reached the Celestial Realm or higher, all the surviving cultivators were severely injured.

This was a one-sided massacre with no suspense whatsoever.

In the endless chaos, survivors flew out from the ruins of collapsed houses, and before they could figure out what was going on, they were attacked by countless swords of energy from the night sky.

These qi swords are not qi swords condensed by the young disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.

Because cultivators above the Celestial Realm have a thorough understanding of the laws and their spiritual power is extremely abundant, the strength of the qi swords they condense far exceeds that of young disciples below the Divine Silence Realm.

Those severely injured monks had just escaped death, only to be utterly overwhelmed by countless powerful qi swords.

Even though Buddhist techniques emphasize defense, these monks had no power to resist under such a huge disparity in strength.

Apart from a few monks who had reached the peak of the Divine Silence or the Celestial Realm and were still putting up a fight, the other monks were pierced through by countless qi swords as soon as they appeared.

The Shadow Masters are no ordinary shadows; they leave no survivors when they strike.

These old men and women are all ancient beings who have lived for hundreds of years. They wouldn't even flinch if they killed ordinary people.

Whether or not innocent people were harmed was not a consideration for them.

What they need to do is eliminate all potential threats to the Yunhai Sect.

The Buddhist monks who ambushed Li Ruoxi last time had set up many protective barriers and formations beforehand to prevent mortals from noticing.

But tonight's massacre was not concealed at all.

Without any protective array, the experts from the Cloud Sea Sect were not masked.

The tremendous sound of the landslide echoed almost throughout the entire Jiuhua Mountain Range.

All the monks in the temples, as well as the ordinary people in Jiuhua Mountain, and even the ordinary people in Qingyang Town on the outskirts of Jiuhua Mountain, heard a huge rumbling sound.

It was already late at night. Ordinary people had gone to bed, and monks had turned off their lights. After the loud noise, many temples lit their candles again, and countless monks came out of their rooms, looking around, wondering what had happened.

Sometimes, beneath the ruins of the temple, Shen Feiyang would soar into the sky.

His body was bathed in golden Buddhist flames.

Countless swords of energy shot towards him, but they did not harm him in the slightest.

Seeing his Shiyou Temple, which he had painstakingly built up over many years, now reduced to ruins, Shen Feiyang felt no anger. However, the fact that Shen Lin had actually attacked him filled him with rage.

Although he hated Shen Lin for taking away his beloved woman back then, he still thought of their brotherly bond over the years and did not expose Shen Lin's actions, thus saving face for him.

Shen Feiyang wants to win against Shen Lin fair and square through his own efforts.

For years, he thought this was an unspoken understanding between him and Shen Lin.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lin was so unethical this time, launching a sudden attack on him and his men without informing them, declaring war, or persuading them to surrender.

Such despicable behavior enraged Shen Feiyang.

He shouted angrily, "Shen Lin, after all these years, you are still a shameless scoundrel! Who is the ringleader? Come out and speak!"

Shen Feiyang knew that with Shen Lin's current status, it was impossible for him to personally participate in such matters, so Shen Feiyang wanted to speak with the leader of the Yunhai Sect tonight.

The white-haired old man in blue stepped forward from the crowd, but the attacks from the others did not stop at all.

He simply deflected the qi sword that was attacking Shen Feiyang and used it to attack others.

The surviving monks also sensed the extreme danger in the sky.

Small groups of survivors gathered together, struggling to resist the attacks of the qi sword.

Although the Buddhist defensive circle they jointly set up could hold out for a while, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and it was only a matter of time before they became victims of the sword.

Linglong's cultivation level is also extremely high; her talent in cultivation is no less than that of Lingyin, the current Holy Maiden of the Goddess Palace.

Linglong, holding a short sword, broke through the endless sword circle formed by the qi swords and flew to Shen Feiyang's side. She stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Feiyang and looked at the old man in blue robes walking in the night sky.

Linglong whispered, "Feiyang, this person is the Supreme Elder Zhuge Jingtian of the Yunhai Sect."

Shen Feiyang frowned and said, "It's him! He's still alive?!"

The young disciples of Yunhai Sect are now quite unfamiliar with Zhuge Jingtian.

However, Zhuge Jingtian has a great-grandson who is a household name within the Yunhai Sect.

He was Zhuge Benlei, one of the Four Hegemons of the Cloud Sea and Ye Feng's younger brother.

The Zhuge family has deep roots in the Yunhai Sect. Otherwise, how could Zhuge Benlei's father, Zhuge Yuanhao, have become the chief elder of the Guest House? How could Zhuge Benlei, this good-for-nothing playboy, have been able to act so arrogantly in the Yunhai Sect? Even the Purple Spirit Sword in Zhuge Benlei's hand is a celestial artifact.

One of the most important reasons why the Zhuge family is so powerful in the Yunhai Sect and no one dares to provoke them is that the Zhuge family has a pillar of strength named Zhuge Jingtian.

In terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as Dugu Chan.

When Sect Leader Yunyi saw him, he would bow and address him as Grandmaster Uncle.
