"An eight-rank Half God? The sect master has actually broken through to the eight-rank Half God realm?"
For a moment, the members of the Sun Moon Sect erupted into heated discussion, seemingly forgetting the crisis of powerful enemies at their gates.
After all, an eight-rank Half God and a seven-rank Half God were not even in the same league.
Upon hearing that the Sun Moon Sect Master was already an eight-rank Half God, Tan Yu grew even more panicked.
This panic, naturally, did not escape the Sun Moon Sect Master's notice.
This led him to conclude that although the intruders had managed to breach the sect's grand protective formation, their strength was most likely inferior to his own.
Otherwise, why would Tan Yu be panicking?
However, guided by the principle that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, he refrained from attacking Chu Feng directly and instead spoke up.
"You two, I've never seen you before. We should have no grievance between us."
"But after arriving, you went straight to destroying my sect's protective formation. Could it be that you're here to help Tan Yu seek revenge?"
"My advice to you two: be smarter about this. Don't let yourselves be used by a scoundrel without knowing the full truth. You should know that Tan Yu, back in the day..."
But before he could finish, Chu Feng cut in impatiently: "Enough nonsense. Tell your grandson to come out and face his death."
Having his words cut off by Chu Feng left the Sun Moon Sect Master momentarily stunned. He had assumed that his cultivation level would give the other party some pause, but he never expected them to show him such little regard.
This made him realize that the other party was either completely reckless, or truly no weaker than himself.
He had to admit, he was starting to panic.
But he didn't let his panic show. Instead, he forced himself to appear composed, even somewhat arrogant: "Young friend, I'm trying to have a civil conversation with you. Can you not understand?"
"Let me warn you — my Sun Moon Sect is not to be trifled wi—"
Uwaaaah!!!
Before he could finish speaking, a wave of formation pressure descended from the heavens, sending the sect master plummeting from the sky.
By the time everyone reacted, the grand sect master of the Sun Moon Sect was lying in a crater in the ground like a dead dog.
"Th-this..."
Witnessing this scene, the members of the Sun Moon Sect scattered in all directions like startled birds.
But Chu Feng opened his palm, raised his arm, and pointed it toward the void.
In an instant, the power of the barrier shot up as a pillar of light, surging deep into the high sky before scattering outwards.
Within the span of a single blink, an enormous spherical barrier descended, covering the entire sprawling complex of the Sun Moon Sect.
This was no mere defensive formation; it also harbored the power of assault.
With but a thought, Chu Feng could utilize this vast array to level the entire Sun Moon Sect to the ground.
"Such terrifying barrier arts... could it be... he is from the Seven Realms Holy Palace?"
Witnessing the barrier arts Chu Feng displayed, the members of the Sun Moon Sect grew even more terrified.
Even Tanyu was left dumbfounded, his previously trembling body now completely still.
Because he now had confidence.
If before he had any doubts about Chu Feng's strength, now he had none whatsoever.
Chu Feng absolutely possessed the ability to avenge him.
Seeing the situation was dire, the Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect cared no longer for his dignity. He forced his body upright and shouted with all his might, "Ancestor, save me!"
BOOM— In the next instant, a powerful aura erupted from the depths of the Sun Moon Sect. The moment it appeared, the formation Chu Feng had cast over the sect was shattered into pieces.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Sun Moon Sect?"
An old man with white hair, dressed in simple cloth robes, stood with his hands clasped behind his back and stepped through the void.
With each step he took, the void trembled violently, and cracks shattered across the space beneath his feet.
"Is this... our Sun Moon Sect's Ancestor?"
