100. The Venerable One Appears
Looking at Lu Huangtian's gloomy face, Shi Tian laughed and said, "Sect Master Lu, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew when you make such boastful claims?"
Lu Huangtian looked at the four major forces gathered together. The leaders of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, the Lion Nether Sect, the Alliance of Heroes, and the Minghua Tower showed little fear.
He stretched out his palms, revealing two grayish-yellow lines in the center. Everyone instantly felt a sudden increase in gravity in the area.
"It's the heavy pressure pattern of the Xuanwen Sect!" Yang Yue reminded him.
The pressure of the Dou Zun powerhouse instantly enveloped everyone in the four sects. Even the combined efforts of Yang Yue, Wan Baishan, Shi Tian, and Liang Mengying were somewhat unable to resist it.
With a single move, he instantly controlled hundreds of people; the power of a Dou Zun expert is truly terrifying!
"You have one last chance!" Lu Huangtian reminded him calmly.
But Shi Tian suddenly laughed: "Lu Huangtian, do you really think you're the only Dou Zun powerhouse in the Northwest Region?!"
The next instant, the building's dome turned into dust, and a huge fist-shaped shadow slammed down, aimed directly at Lu Huangtian.
After the fist's shadow, space continued to shatter. The power of the punch directly turned the space it passed through into a vacuum, and the fighting spirit within was directly squeezed out.
Lu Huangtian immediately flew out from the crowd, his forearm turning silver-white, and then slashed with his palms together.
A thunderous roar swept over, slicing the fist shadow in two, but Lu Huangtian was also blasted into the ground.
The owner of the fist shadow was a man dressed in red and gold, over three meters tall. Golden battle aura constantly swirled around him, and if one got close, one could even hear the roar of a lion beside him. The space around the man even showed signs of cracking due to his every move, and what was particularly noteworthy was that the man's hair had already turned somewhat gray.
"Greetings, Ancestor!" Lion Heaven and all the Lion Dark Sect disciples behind him immediately knelt down and paid their respects.
"Let's skip these useless things." A thunderous voice rolled down from the sky.
Everyone below realized that the man in the sky was also a Dou Zun powerhouse, and judging from his aura, he was even stronger than Lu Huangtian.
"It's him! Lion Nether Sect—Lion Roar Valley!"
"He's still alive!"
Those present were all renowned experts from the Northwest Region, possessing exceptional knowledge and experience, so some noticed it immediately.
"The mere Xuanwen Sect dares to dream of becoming the master of this Northwest Region? They're courting death!" Lion Roar Valley's voice swept out like a tidal wave!
At this moment, many people in Tianlan City had noticed the commotion, and countless onlookers had gathered to watch. However, most of the spectators were quite rational, maintaining their distance from the center circle. The arrival of Lion's Roar Valley filled many with horror, as the aftershocks of a Dou Zun expert could potentially kill even a so-called strongman.
"Does my Xuanwen Sect need your permission to do what we want?" A voice seemed to come from the void, directly canceling out the originally powerful sound waves of Lion's Roar Valley.
An old man with wrinkles on his face slowly walked out of the void, his steps cracking the space beneath his feet.
Both are Dou Zun! Lu Ling from the Xuanwen Sect!
Although Lu Ling's face looked like that of someone nearing the end of their life, as if they might collapse at any moment, the aura emanating from their body was in no way weaker than that of Lion's Roar Valley.
After Lu Ling stepped out, he said somewhat impatiently, "Gentlemen, please show yourselves!"
"Old Lu's senses are indeed sharp, Zhi Shuang is impressed!" A rather young-looking woman suddenly appeared, her delicate and frail appearance seemingly created to describe her. The woman was playing with a small snake in her hand, but those with discerning eyes would know that the small snake was also a seventh-tier magical beast.
Heavenly Serpent Palace, Battle Venerable, Yang Zhishuang!
Yang Zhishuang looked at Lu Ling with a smile, and with light steps, she arrived at the side of Lion Roar Valley. Every move she made showed her stance.
Then, two figures appeared on Lu Lingyi's left and right. The man on the left was the strangest; his head was noticeably larger than normal, and his lips were wide open. A chilling energy emanated from his mouth as it opened and closed.
Echo Sect, Dou Zun, Xu Ce!
The man on the right appears to be middle-aged, with a muscular and exceptionally well-proportioned physique, as if it were meticulously designed. Every movement he makes exudes the power to move mountains and topple peaks.
Elephant Rhinoceros Mountain, Dipper Venerable, Stone Nine Peaks.
The last man appeared beside Yang Zhishuang and Shixiaogu, rubbing a feathered arrow in his hand. The arrowhead had a sharpness that could pierce through anything.
Alliance of Heroes, Battle Master, Jiang Ye.
Six people, six Dou Zun! Their terrifying auras instantly became the absolute center of this world. These were the true trump cards of the major powers, the true Venerables!
With so many Venerable Ones in one region, the Northwest Region dares to claim itself as the number one among the eight regions. This is also due to the restriction left by the Void Emperor, which prevented large-scale wars in the West Region.
Including Lu Huangtian below, there are a total of seven Dou Zun appearing, which is truly terrifying!
Even Xiao Yan, looking at this spectacle, couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Dou Zun powerhouses had entered a completely new world.
"What's wrong? Are you envious?" the old apothecary asked.
"It's impossible not to feel envious... but I believe I'll reach that level sooner or later!"
"Concentrate, we'll be busy later."
Xiao Yan was also somewhat puzzled by Yao Lao's instructions: "Even Dou Zun has come out, how can a fight still break out?"
"Don't underestimate the Xuanwen Sect, especially since they still have the upper hand in the current situation."
There were seven Dou Zun present, but Xuanwen Sect had two Dou Zun due to Lu Huangtian's influence. Minghua Tower, on the other hand, lacked the protection of a Dou Zun ancestor due to its insufficient foundation. When Liang Mengying saw the several Dou Zun in the sky, she felt envy, but even more so, a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.
"Xu Chengze, I need an explanation!"
To everyone's surprise, Xu Ce, the Dou Zun Ancestor of the Echo Sect, was the first to speak up!
"Ancestor, didn't we already discuss this before?" Xu Chengze said, looking at Xu Ce.
Xu Ce shook his head: "The explanation I want is your explanation for killing Xu Chengying and Xu Chengye." Xu Ce said sharply.
At this moment, the words of one of the Venerable Ones brought silence to the scene. The other Venerable Ones, however, were more inclined to watch the spectacle and refrained from taking any action. They were simply waiting to witness this farce unfolding at the Echo Sect. Most of them had been summoned by their respective factions after noticing something amiss, so they had witnessed some of what had just happened.
Slaughtering a genius from the same clan is a crime that is hard to forgive in any faction.
"Ancestor, Chengze wishes to explain this to you privately."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ce nodded, then waved his hand, and a separate protective shield appeared.
Almost no one could eavesdrop on their conversation in front of a Dou Zun powerhouse.
