War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

"I won't mention the past."

Ke Zheng shook his head, and then said, "Since everyone is here, we should leave."

"Elder Ke, why don't you go after lunch?"

Shen Dong stayed and said.

"No need... Patriarch Shen, thank you for your hospitality these few days."

Ke Zheng nodded to Shen Dong, and immediately greeted Duan Lingtian and the others, and walked outside.

"Patriarch Shen, farewell."

Duan Lingtian took Ye Xuan with him, said goodbye to Shen Dong, and followed.

Shen Wei also hurriedly followed.

A group of four people stepped up from the Shen family's mansion and headed west.

On the way, Duan Lingtian couldn't help asking curiously: "Elder Ke, are we going back to the 'Five Elements Sect', or going somewhere else?"

"I'll send you to 'An Ding City' first. Our Mufeng has a stronghold there...the two people we recruited not long ago are also there."

Ke Zheng said.

"Ok."

Duan Lingtian nodded.

"Elder Ke, tell me about the situation of the Five Elements Sect?"

Duan Lingtian said again.

Ke Zheng nodded, and then introduced: "Our Five Elements Sect is divided into five peaks of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Except for the 'Golden Peak' which is the main peak of the suzerain's lineage, the other four peaks are on equal status. The Lord is in charge."

"Sifeng has always been in a state of competition. In the past 20 years, it has been our Mufeng that has fallen behind."

Speaking of this, Ke Zheng sighed heavily.

Soon, from the mouths of Ke Zheng and Shen Wei, Duan Lingtian also had a certain understanding of the 'Wooden Peak' in the Five Elements Sect, knowing that it was once the most glorious peak under the Golden Peak.

However, more than 20 years ago, the master of Mufeng was seriously injured outside, and after returning to retreat, Mufeng began to go downhill.

First, Mufeng's outstanding disciples were coerced and lured away by the other three peaks.

Then Sanfeng deliberately joined forces to suppress Mufeng, causing Mufeng to become the bottom peak for a while.

Although the strong men of Mufeng's older generation are still there, compared with the other three peaks, the younger generation seems to be weaker.

"A faction, even a small faction separated from the same sect, once the younger generation fails, it means decline."

Ke Zheng sighed.

"Can't you just recruit some more talented disciples? As long as you spend more time, you can still find talented disciples."

Duan Lingtian said.

"Of course we know this, and we have indeed done so... But those genius disciples were lured away by the other three peaks before our Mufeng's butt was hot."

Ke Zheng smiled wryly.

"The suzerain Jin Feng doesn't care about this matter?"

Duan Lingtian frowned and asked.

"You don't know about this... In our Five Elements Sect, there has always been a tradition that the five peaks exist together and compete with each other. Except that the disciples of each peak are not allowed to kill or maim at will, and the elders are not allowed to attack the younger generation, there is nothing else. Too many restrictions."

"For a long time, Jinfeng has been the well-deserved number one peak of our Five Elements Sect, and its position is unshakable... The other four peaks have been fighting openly and secretly. Twenty years ago, our Mufeng became the target of the joint suppression of the other three peaks. This suppression, It’s been more than twenty years without being able to breathe.”

Speaking of this, Ke Zheng sighed.

Suddenly, Duan Lingtian could understand Mu Feng's situation for a while.

"As expected of a force outside the territory, it is only a third-rate force, and the competition is so fierce... Perhaps, it is also because of this that the Five Elements Sect has been able to develop until today."

Duan Lingtian secretly thought.

If it is a sect that is too comfortable and peaceful, it may be able to be strong for a while, but in a few decades, hundreds of years, it is doomed to decline.

Not because of anything else, but because the disciples of the younger generation of the Zongmen have no passion and motivation.

"No wonder Elder Ke sees me like a hunter sees his prey... It turns out that he wants to use me to make Mufeng rise again."

Duan Lingtian smiled wryly. Although it was a little arrogant to think so, Ke Zheng obviously had such thoughts.

Among the various peaks of the Five Elements Sect, there are open and secret struggles, mainly among the younger generation.

The strong men of the older generation seldom make moves, and it is inconvenient to make moves.

The younger generation may not be as powerful as the older generation, but they are the future pillars of the sect and the foundation for a sect to continue to prosper.

"When I get to the Five Elements Sect' Wooden Peak, I'm afraid life will not be peaceful."

Duan Lingtian secretly thought.

Of course, he wasn't afraid, but looked forward to it.

Soon, one morning passed, Duan Lingtian and the others left Liuyun Town, and came to the sky above a continuous mountain range with complex terrain.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Duan Lingtian, who was walking side by side with Ke Zheng and Shen Wei, couldn't help frowning, as if he had sensed something.

"Be careful!"

Ke Zheng gave a low snort as a reminder.

Immediately, Shen Wei seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy, and out of thin air, a seven-foot long spear appeared in his hand.

call! call! call! call! call!

...

A series of swift figures appeared around Duan Lingtian and the others in a blink of an eye, surrounding them.

This is a group of middle-aged men in common clothes, with indifferent faces, looking at Duan Lingtian and the others, as if they were looking at four or four of them.

"Thugs?"

Duan Lingtian frowned, and immediately guessed the identities of these people.

Before leaving the 'Outside the Territory', he had learned from the memory of Emperor Wu of Samsara that in some remote places outside the Territory, there were often bandits.

These gangsters have only one purpose, to kill the past warriors with powerful force and seize the wealth of the past warriors.

To put it simply, this is a group of desperadoes who specialize in 'trading without capital', licking blood with their knives and hanging their heads on their waists to earn huge wealth.

Duan Lingtian has been staying in Liuyun Town, and he didn't leave alone, because he was worried that he would meet these 'thugs'.

It's okay to be a bandit who is not as powerful as him, just kill him directly.

If the strength is far superior to him, then he can only become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest chance of surviving.

"Brother Duan."

Seeing being surrounded by so many people, Ye Xuan's face turned pale. She, a daughter of the Ye family who grew up with a golden key in her mouth, has never seen such a scene?

"Xiaoxuan, get on Big Brother Duan's back."

In the first moment, Duan Lingtian noticed that Ye Xuan's body was trembling slightly from the fright, so he called Ye Xuan and asked Ye Xuan to sit on his back.

Ye Xuan leaned on Duan Lingtian's back, hugged Duan Lingtian's neck, and finally calmed down a little.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian's mental power stretched out, and immediately detected all the gangsters surrounding them one by one.

There are nine people in total.

A hole in the seventh level of the Void Realm.

Three caves and six levels of virtual realm.

The rest are the fourth and fifth levels of the Hollow Realm.

"What a powerful bandit gang!"

Duan Lingtian secretly gasped, he never thought that the first wave of 'thugs' he encountered outside the territory would have such terrifying strength.

Duan Lingtian didn't know.

This is not the first wave of bandits he encountered after coming to the 'Outside the Territory'.

He was 'demonized' by the Demon Sealing Tablet before, stayed away from Feng Wudao, and after he completely lost consciousness, on the way to Liuyun Town, he met several waves of bandits whose strength was not inferior to this gang of bandits.

Even, there are several levels of Void Transformation Realm.

However, without exception, those thugs were all killed by the 'demonized' him as soon as they appeared.

"kill!"

The leader of the bandits at the seventh level of the Hollow Realm gave orders without a word of nonsense.

Immediately, the other eight thugs rushed towards Duan Lingtian and the others.

Above the void, a vast phantom of an ancient horned dragon appeared, sweeping towards them, blocking most of the sunlight from the horizon.

"Those three are at the fourth level of the Hollow Realm."

Just as he opened his mouth, he didn't intend to do anything, but pointed at the three thugs rushing over, and said to Shen Wei.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Duan Lingtian again and asked, "Except for the leader, the other five strongest are only at the sixth level of the Void Realm... How many of them can you solve?"

Obviously, the old man wanted to test Duan Lingtian's strength.

So far, the old man has not seen Duan Lingtian make a move. He only knows that Duan Lingtian defeated the Patriarch of the Shen family and the elder of the Shen family.

The Supreme Elder of the Shen family is a sixth-level warrior of the Hollow Void Realm.

"Senior, leave everything to me except the leader..."

Duan Lingtian smiled confidently, and as soon as the words fell, a pair of eyes began to flicker, and deep in his mind, the vast spiritual power pierced into the 'soul imprint'.

Thousand illusions!

A fantasy space, constructed out of thin air by Duan Lingtian, covers an area of ​​tens of meters.

The nine bandits clearly appeared within Duan Lingtian's range of mental power.

Except for the bandit at the seventh level of the Void Realm headed by him, he can use his soul skills to influence the other bandits, causing them to fall into the 'illusory space'.

When Duan Lingtian used the soul skill 'Thousand Illusions', both Ke Zheng and Shen Wei were frightened by Duan Lingtian's words.

Ke Zheng couldn't help frowning, feeling that Duan Lingtian was too arrogant.

"Oh... did you miss it after all?"

Ke Zheng sighed in his heart, and the energy in his body began to turmoil, ready to attack a group of thugs who came over at any time.

Obviously, he didn't believe Duan Lingtian's 'big talk'.

But, soon he was stunned.

Shen Wei was also stunned.

Holding Duan Lingtian's neck tightly, Ye Xuan, who was lying on Duan Lingtian's back, was so frightened by a group of thugs that she couldn't help but close her eyes.

But when she opened her eyes curiously and looked out, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

The eight thugs who charged up suddenly stopped in the air, with blank eyes, as if they had suddenly lost their target.

Immediately afterwards, they jumped up one after another, and shot at their former companions, completely venting the rolling power that had been waiting for a long time.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

...

Terrible force tore through the sky, setting off bursts of ear-piercing air explosions, but it was the three gangsters at the sixth level of the Void Realm who joined hands to kill the other five companions.

"What are you doing?!"

The leader of the gangster who was not affected by Duan Lingtian's soul ability, saw this scene, after a moment of sluggishness, his face changed drastically, and he roared sharply.

However, following his roar, the three thugs at the sixth level of the Void Realm all looked at him with murderous intent on their faces.

...

...
