Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 694 694: Huo Mingxian’s Hidden Tactics

Chu Nan felt fortunate, fortunate that he had returned to the Imperial Capital Ba Yang City just in time, or else he would not have had the opportunity to save everything happening here, which would have become his greatest regret and remorse.

As they rode the Dragon Beast closer and closer to Ba Yang City, the three of them gradually sensed that something was amiss within the city.

Thus, after using their Spiritual Sense to investigate, they immediately discovered what was happening in front of the Ancestor Sect gate.

The three of them hurriedly arrived, just in time to witness the scene that had just unfolded.

Lu Daochang's face was ashen, his entire body trembling with rage. No matter what, he had never imagined that only months after he left the Ancestor Sect, someone would be itching to destroy it.

And the instigator of all this was the Huo family.

Although he could see that the Huo family had three Nine Heavens Martial Artists, it was nothing to Lu Daochang.

The gap between the beginner and the peak is not so easily bridged.

Lu Daochang felt more anger and humiliation, even guilt.

The prestigious Ancestor Sect, always a top-tier power in the lower realm, now faced destruction under his leadership.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Lu Daochang, and those responsible had to pay the price, and it had to be the price of life!

Like Lu Daochang, Chu Nan was filled with rage and hatred at this moment.

Looking at the devastated Ancestor Sect and his sister and Gu Nianxue, who were nearly humiliated by Huo Jiantang, the anger and killing intent in his heart almost became tangible.

He knew that the Ancestor Sect's troubles were largely because of him.

Therefore, while feeling guilty, Chu Nan's killing intent rose to match that of Lu Daochang. He had to make the Huo family pay so that the sacrifice of the spirits of the Ancestor Sect's Martial Artists was not in vain.

Only Huo Jiantang and Huo Mingxian's deaths could calm Chu Nan's mind!

"Huo Jiantang, Huo Mingxian, I, Chu Nan, vow to kill you!" Chu Nan stepped out from behind Lu Daochang, holding the Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword, the Sword Qi around him transforming into an extreme storm, sweeping across the heavens for miles.

The dragon's head also let out an angry roar at this moment, intimidating a large group of Huo family Martial Artists.

Seeing Lu Daochang appear, worry clouded the eyes of Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang.

A peak Nine Heavens Martial Artist was beyond their ability to contend with given their current strength; escaping would already be considered lucky.

None of them could believe Lu Daochang was still alive, despite the Lu family actively withdrawing its power, which was clearly a sign that its backbone had collapsed.

Everyone in the Huo family understood that their extreme actions against the Ancestor Sect would inevitably invite Lu Daochang's revenge.

Their only hope now was that the two strong Nine Heavens powerhouses, Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang, could kill Lu Daochang or lead them back to the Huo family.

As long as they reached the Huo family and used the family's protective Grand Array for defense, even an exceedingly powerful Sect Leader would be hard-pressed to break through immediately.

Thinking of this, the Huo family's Martial Artists placed their hopes on Huo Mingxian and Huo Jiantang, betting on these newly risen powerhouses of the Imperial Capital for survival.

"Supreme Sect Leader, did you really survive?" Huo Mingxian forced herself to calm down and said to Lu Daochang, "But it's a pity, the situation is already set, and even if you've returned, you can't change the fact that the Ancestor Sect will be destroyed."

"You're a peak Nine Heavens Martial Artist, but it's not easy for you to kill us alone!"

Huo Mingxian seemed to have some sort of ace, although Lu Daochang's presence surprised her, on the surface, she seemed confident.

Lu Daochang looked at the Ancestor Sect's group of Martial Artists, especially focusing on the corpses on the ground, his eyes almost spitting fire.

He stared at Huo Mingxian coldly and said, "Bitch, you're courting death!"

Boom!

Lu Daochang's body flickered, instantly reaching Huo Mingxian's side.

The terrifying power rolled out endlessly, his fist seeming to transform into a sun, viciously smashing into Huo Mingxian's body.

Bam!

Huo Mingxian's body fell like a meteor, but a water-blue membrane surfaced on her body, perfectly blocking Lu Daochang's killing blow.

Huo Mingxian smugly said, "Supreme Sect Leader, my defensive Spirit Martial has reached holy grade, a supreme treasure I just refined. No matter how strong your Cultivation, you can't break it."

"If you want to avenge the Ancestor Sect's disciples and elders, you're just dreaming."

"Because next, you'll watch helplessly as the Ancestor Sect falls!"

As her words fell, the water-blue membrane on Huo Mingxian expanded rapidly and to everyone's shock, it enveloped Lu Daochang within.

Both were covered by the membrane, cutting off from the outside world.

Lu Daochang was bound by the holy-grade Spirit Martial controlled by Huo Mingxian, unable to attack Huo Mingxian or leave to aid the Ancestor Sect.

"Bitch, you're courting death!"

Lu Daochang, with rage, threw another punch, combining light and power into an attack on the membrane, but it only stirred ripples without inflicting any damage.

No one expected that upon the Supreme Sect Leader's return, Huo Mingxian would use a treasure to imprison him so easily.

"Nephew, I'll leave the rest to you," Huo Mingxian said loudly, her meaning clear: she would trap Lu Daochang, leaving Huo Jiantang to destroy the Ancestor Sect.

After ending everything, they would take the Huo family Martial Artists and leave. As long as they returned to the Huo family, even Lu Daochang, furious as he was, couldn't do anything to them.

"Supreme Sect Leader, stay here with me. No one can save them now."

Lu Daochang gradually calmed from his anger and stared at Huo Mingxian, saying, "Chu Nan is still outside; perhaps this situation actually favors me."

"Trapping me also traps you, and if unforeseen changes occur, can you handle it?"

Lu Daochang chuckled softly, his authoritative gaze unsettling Huo Mingxian.

Huo Mingxian's expression changed slightly, but she quickly snorted coldly and said, "My nephew is already at Nine Heavens level; can Chu Nan be stronger than Nine Heavens?"

"The Demon Beast under Chu Nan does have some ability, benefiting from good fortune. That peak eight levels Demon Beast likely already recognizes Chu Nan as its master."

"However, a peak eight levels Demon Beast is no match for my nephew. Your Ancestor Sect is doomed to be destroyed."

"Today's events favor us, not only destroying the Ancestor Sect and establishing our might, but if my nephew kills Chu Nan, we've eliminated a major threat!"

Lu Daochang had an extremely clear understanding of Chu Nan's strength, and he only smiled softly at Huo Mingxian's words, "Then let's just wait and see."

...

"Haha, search high and low only to find it without any effort."

"Chu Nan, you've finally fallen into my hands once more. Today I shall see who else can save you!"
