Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1013 - 990: Tang Sect Purge

Ren Feng felt a bit dizzy. "What on earth is going on? Can you explain it clearly to me? From beginning to end."

"I'm only one wisp among the countless remnant souls left behind by my main body. I can feel that my main body has already left. Later on, by accident, my remnant soul entered a woman's body, and in the end it entered yours. If you, the host, don't absorb enough energy to awaken me, I might end up attaching myself to your descendants in turn."

Ren Feng was somewhat dazed by what he heard, but he still keenly caught many things in the Golden Dragon's words.

It seemed that hidden within that information were many unknown secrets.

The main body left? Went where?

And it was only one wisp among countless remnant souls, which meant there were other Dragon Souls as well.

Ren Feng took a deep breath. "What exactly do you mean by awakening? Is it because of you that I possess the Nine Yang body?"

"I am only a wisp of remnant soul. Before I have enough energy, I can only remain in a state of slumber. Only with sufficient energy will I not dissipate and be able to continue existing. Because when I absorb energy, it will have a certain negative impact on the host. If the host cannot withstand the energy I leak out, you might explode and die."

Ren Feng finally understood what the so‑called Nine Yang Tribulation actually was.

"And now, because you previously let me absorb ample energy, I was able to awaken and communicate with you."

Ren Feng spoke up. "Does that mean once I completely get through my Nine Yang Tribulation, you'll have almost absorbed all the energy you need?"

"Correct. But for the next few times, the energy I require will be enormous. Keeping me awake continuously is not something easily done. Also, now I must go back to sleep."

The Golden Dragon's tail suddenly gave a slight flick, and in the air behind it, it was as if countless ripples spread outward.

"Before I fall asleep, I will give you, my host, a chance for comprehension."

The Golden Dragon's voice rang out one last time, and then Ren Feng noticed that its eyes seemed different. In its eyes, many images appeared.

They were scenes of a person wielding a long halberd, stepping on a Golden Dragon, locked in combat in midair with all kinds of strange creatures.

Ren Feng's mind was completely drawn into it.

…

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant was still sitting cross‑legged near the Array. The chilling yin aura within the Array had grown denser and denser, nearly shrouding Ren Feng's entire figure.

From the time they first began, almost ten hours had passed, yet Ren Feng still showed no sign of movement.

Xiao Mo stood behind him, frowning slightly. This guy was a bit strange—he'd stayed in the Array for so long and still no movement?

Han Buyan stood behind as well, a trace of anxiety in his eyes. But he knew just how monstrous the Nine Yang body was; as long as Ren Feng came out safely, that would be enough.

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant remained seated and motionless, his expression utterly calm. A consumption of ten hours was still within an acceptable range for him; there was not the slightest change on his face.

At last, the Celestial Dragon Ascendant sensed movement from Ren Feng inside the Array; the latter directly stood up.

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant formed a hand seal, and immediately the Array stopped operating, its radiance gradually fading away.

Ren Feng walked out of the Array, and Han Buyan immediately asked, "Did you get through it?"

"I did." Ren Feng nodded, and at that moment, his strength directly broke through from the Peak of the Tripod Realm to the Gang Realm, and even stepped into the Profound Realm!

Early-stage Profound Realm!

This was Ren Feng's current level of strength.

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant rose to his feet and said, "Shakyamuni Buddha, since you are safe, then it is no longer an issue. However, this Array can no longer be used; it can only be used once."

Ren Feng looked toward the rest of the Array. Sure enough, many of those pearls that had been shining brightly were now dimmed.

"These are natural Spirit Pearls formed from the environment over several hundred years. It is because of them that I could set up this Array. Now that the number of Spirit Pearls is insufficient, I can no longer lay it down."

Ren Feng nodded. "I understand."

Han Buyan walked over, smiling as he said, "In that case, let's leave this cave first."

…

On the other side, the Tang Sect.

In a certain room, Tang Hongtu was sitting with his eyes closed. Just then, he suddenly opened them, and at that moment, everything in the room actually floated into the air!

The aura around his entire body became incomparably powerful in that instant. Wherever his gaze swept, everything in the room was under his control.

"At last, I've stepped into the Profound Realm!"

Brilliant light flickered in Tang Hongtu's eyes. "It wasn't easy. I waited for this day for more than two years. This Profound Realm truly is hard to step into. But fortunately there was Tang Dingtian, which saved me most of the time."

"Coupled with the few Tang Sect ultimate techniques I obtained, my combat strength will absolutely skyrocket. More importantly, from this moment on, I will be the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect!"

With a bang, everything in the room crashed down. Standing in the room, Tang Hongtu walked out and immediately summoned the few disciples he had taken in.

"Go, surround the entire Tang Sect."

"Yes!"

A cold gleam flashed in Tang Hongtu's eyes. Most of the people in the Tang Sect had been transferred out by him under various pretexts. Those still in the Sect now were all former mortal enemies. Once he killed these people, he could easily become the Tang Sect's Sect Leader.

Even if the rest wanted to resist, as long as he spread the news of Tang Dingtian's death, and with the situation already a done deal, they would have no grounds to defy him.

Tang Hongtu's several disciples, along with the Tang Sect disciples who had already pledged loyalty to him, raced through the Tang Sect at high speed.

One core Guardian of the Tang Sect was sleeping in his room. Suddenly he heard footsteps, and snapped his eyes open, only to see someone thrusting a blade straight down at him!

Poof!

A muffled groan sounded, and even the quilt was quickly dyed red with the blood that gushed out.

The dagger was pulled out, then rapidly thrust several more times. This Guardian, who had always stood in opposition to Tang Hongtu, died on the spot.

In another room, that Elder's strength was quite formidable; he directly slapped away the Tang Sect disciple who had ambushed him!

But in the next instant, those Tang Sect disciples outside the room all raised their pre‑tempered poisonous needles toward the windows. With a series of whooshing sounds, the needles pierced through the windows and shot straight into that Elder's body.

Scenes like this were being enacted all over the Tang Sect. Those Tang Sect disciples and Tang Hongtu's few disciples were carrying out a purge within the Sect!

Eleven was sleeping in her room, but suddenly her ears twitched, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
