Chapter 691: Ancestor Sect Crisis

Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang released the terrifying pressure of their Nine Heavens Martial Artist power without reservation.

Under this pressure, the entire Ancestor Sect seemed to have fallen into Hell, and almost everyone had expressions of anger and fear on their faces.

In front of the Ancestor Sect, more than a dozen Nine Heavens Cultivators lay scattered, all wounded, appearing miserable and on the brink of death.

Some even showed a look of bitterness, their gazes towards Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang filled with resentment.

The elder of the Ancestor Sect, Mo Yi, with bloodshot eyes shouted in an uncontrollable rage, "Huo Mingxian, Huo Jiantang, you are trying to overthrow the Ancestor Sect while the Sect Leader is away. Aren’t you afraid that the Sect Leader will return and grind your bones to dust?"

Mo Yi’s face showed a look of sorrow, for the Ancestor Sect possessed strength within the Imperial Capital not inferior to any Strong Race.

With the existence of the Nine Heavens Pinnacle Supreme Sect Leader, Lu Daochang, they were even qualified to contend with the Royal Family.

However, not long ago, Huo Jiantang and Huo Mingxian returned, unleashing their powerful Nine Heavens battle power, instantly shocking the entire Imperial Capital and causing a tremendous stir.

Three Nine Heavens Martial Artists in one sect, openly surpassing even the Royal Family!

The Huo Family rose to become the number one Strong Race, dared by none to challenge, standing as an equal force alongside the Royal Family and the Ancestor Sect.

However, in most people’s perception, although the Huo Family surpassed all Strong Races, they still weren’t as powerful as the Ancestor Sect and the Royal Family.

Because both the Ancestor Sect and the Royal Family had Nine Heavens Pinnacle Martial Artists.

Although the Huo Family had three Nine Heavens, none had reached this level, so people generally thought of the Huo Family as the stepping stones of the Imperial Capital’s top forces.

The Huo Family didn’t mind this commentary at first.

But then it was discovered that Supreme Sect Leader Lu Daochang had been missing for many days, and the Lu Family began to consolidate their forces, gathering clansmen from various parts of the Qin Kingdom for some unknown reason...

This bizarre move left everyone in the Imperial Capital puzzled.

Why would the Lu Family, with a Nine Heavens Pinnacle Martial Artist, suddenly consolidate their power in the Qin Kingdom for no apparent reason?

Those who infiltrated the Lu Family and the Ancestor Sect found out that Lu Daochang was indeed absent from the Imperial Capital, yet the reason remained a mystery.

Plus, since Lu Daochang hadn’t been seen for a long time, some speculated he might be reaching the end of his lifespan or had fallen during the cultivation of the Ancestral Bloodline!

After all, although the Ancestral Bloodline is powerful, it is also fraught with danger.

In the history of the Ancestor Sect, there are indeed cases where Nine Heavens experts perished from assimilating the Ancestral Bloodline.

With only Lu Daochang being a Nine Heavens Martial Artist, without him, the Lu Family’s strength would naturally decline, so preemptively consolidating their forces to avoid retribution was the best choice.

Once someone speculated this, the rumor took root and spread throughout the Imperial Capital, and over time became more and more credible to people.

The Lu Family and the Ancestor Sect jointly explained that Lu Daochang was in seclusion, but no one believed them.

Lu Daochang’s downfall, leaving the Ancestor Sect without a Nine Heavens Martial Artist and unprecedentedly weak, caused some factions to stir restlessly.

Some Strong Races began to probe, and after several attempts, they found that without Lu Daochang, the Ancestor Sect was indeed weak and empty!

Thus, the Huo Family, as the leading force of the Strong Races, decisively took action.

Huo Mingxian, with Huo Jiantang, came to the Ancestor Sect, hoping Huo Jiantang could establish their might by destroying the Ancestor Sect, thereby boosting his and the Huo Family’s momentum!

And indeed, as Huo Mingxian expected, without Lu Daochang, the Ancestor Sect was indeed weak and hollow.

Although the Ancestor Sect had powerful arrays for protection, they naturally crumbled under the relentless bombardment of Nine Heavens experts.

Huo Mingxian stood in the air, looking down at Mo Yi and others, saying, "The Ancestor Sect behaves unjustly; the Imperial Capital belongs to the Royal Family and the Strong Races. Your Ancestor Sect is just an intruder."

"Heaven has eyes and let Lu Daochang die; it’s God’s will to destroy your Ancestor Sect!"

Huo Jiantang also scoffed at this moment, saying, "Now kneel and submit to my Huo Family, become our slaves and servants, and we might give you a chance to live."

"Otherwise, you will perish along with the Ancestor Sect!"

Boom!

The terrible pressure shook the entire scene, plunging the Ancestor Sect into tremendous fear.

Those within the Ancestor Sect who had been acting as spies fled, seeing no need to stay now that the sect’s destruction seemed imminent.

Yet some Martial Artists remained staunchly loyal to the Ancestor Sect and vehemently resisted, including those who had once been part of the same True Inheritance Sequence as Chu Nan.

They pushed forward, attempting to fend off the attacks from Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang.

But with just a casual slash, Huo Jiantang had disciples’ heads flying, breath stopping.

The Huo Family’s Martial Artists took this opportunity to enthusiastically rush into the Ancestor Sect, slaughtering disciples and seizing cultivation resources.

As a force second only to the Royal Family, even the openly displayed treasures were things ordinary Martial Artists could never dream of obtaining in their lifetime.

With various Primordial Demon Beasts under their cultivation, these were priceless to the Strong Races!

The wails of anguish and fury echoed within the Ancestor Sect, but they were all drowned out by the laughter of the Huo Family’s Martial Artists.

Huo Mingxian, seeing the inevitable downfall of the Ancestor Sect, was filled with joy in her heart.

Huo Jiantang also smiled coldly, lamenting only that Chu Nan wasn’t in the Ancestor Sect; otherwise, he would have been slain to avenge past humiliations.

"Damn it, who knows where that Chu Nan escaped to. I really wanted him to see this scene, then have his bones ground to ashes, soul used in the Soul Lamp for eternal torment," Huo Jiantang said with hatred in his heart.

Huo Mingxian gave Huo Jiantang a glance, then smiled and said, "Revenge on Chu Nan is not difficult, Aunt will assist you."

After saying that, Huo Mingxian’s Spiritual Sense swept across the entire Ancestor Sect. Having been to the Heavenly Balance Realm as a Martial Artist, her skills were incredibly profound; even her soul, like that of Chu Nan, was of extraordinary quality.

Soon, with her powerful Spiritual Sense, she found Gu Nianxue and Chu Nianfang, who were battling with the Huo Family’s Martial Artists.

The former was Chu Nan’s beloved confidante, while the latter was Chu Nan’s biological sister.

Since Chu Nan left the Imperial Capital, Gu Nianxue and Chu Nianfang had been cultivating in the Ancestor Sect, becoming part of it.

Facing the sect’s crisis, they chose not to escape but to stand with other disciples, resisting the Huo Family’s martial onslaught.

"Nianfang, my good niece, Aunt missed you," Huo Mingxian sneered, then reached out with a large hand.

The intangible hand covered the heavens, and to everyone’s shock, grabbed Gu Nianxue and Chu Nianfang, bringing them to her side.
