oking at the mundane world, the strongest are only at the late stage of the imperial realm, not even a single peak of the imperial realm.On the other hand, our strength is clearly at a disadvantage in...Kou Hong chatted's expression grew serious: "Master Ni, I think there's a misunderstanding here. Give us some time, and we will definitely get to the bottom of it. We'll give you an explanation then."

"Misunderstanding"

Ni Saku smiled coldly, "The soul imprint of my sect's Saint Emperor is on your Second Elder. You tell me it's a misunderstanding"

This is crystal clear, do we still need to investigate What else do you want to find out"

At this moment, he had already made up his mind that the murderer was Gong Shuqian.

It has to be said, Ye Bufan chose the perfect scapegoat. A fourth-rank Saint Emperor, strong enough to easily kill Liu Wuzhou, Zhu Putian, and Qin Xiu.

Meanwhile, the method of framing was extremely unique, leaving the other party with no room to defend themselves.

After all, Soul Imprint is a unique technique of the Lingxiao Sect. It has been used for so many years, and no one has ever seen anyone remove it, let alone replant it on a fourth-rank Saint Emperor.

Kou Hong glanced at the other person who was staring intently, his expression also darkened.

Although he didn't quite understand the situation, he ultimately chose to side with his own people.

"Master Ni, as I have said before, this matter is far from simple."

Not only did people from your Lingxiao Sect die, but nine Great Saint Emperors from our Xingyao Sect also died. You come to us for an explanation, but who do we go to

By the end, there was a hint of anger in his voice.

After all, as the head of a sect, one also has their own dignity and cannot tolerate the relentless pressure from Lingxiao Sect.

Moreover, nine Saint Emperors died suddenly before, and until now, the shadow of the murderer can't be found. How could he not be furious Where is there any patience to explain.

Seeing him like this, Ni Sa Kong's anger flared even hotter.

"The number of people who die in your Star-Shining Sect is your own business. It has nothing to do with my Lingxiao Sect."

And our people died, but their soul imprints are on your second elder.

"If you want to investigate, just leave it to our Lingxiao Sect to check on Gong Shu and Zhang."

"To take away our Second Elder, do you think the Xingyao Sect is nothing"

Seeing Ni Sa's eyes fixed intently on Gong Shu Zhan, Kou Hongli directly tore off the pretense.

Now that the sect has suffered heavy losses, with nine Saint Emperors dead, how could they possibly allow a fourth-rank Saint Emperor to be taken away

Besides, handing over the sect's second elder to them would mean that the Starry Glory Sect would have no standing in the Upper Celestial Domain. It would become a laughingstock among the five great sects.

"Harboring a criminal, are you Since you won't give him up, I'll do it myself!"

With things having escalated to this point, Xingyao Sect cannot hand over the person, and Ni Sa Kong is also unable to retreat.

First, he had already determined that the culprit was Gong Shujian. Second, Ye Bufan and Qin Jian Shan Zhuang witnessed everything clearly just now.

If I cannot seek justice for the three Great Saint Emperors who have died, then I will lose the respect of everyone in the sect. And the Lingxiao Sect will be unable to establish itself in the Upper Heavenly Domain.

That is precisely why he disregarded the face of the two major sects and directly took action to capture someone.

The domain of the Five Rank Saint Emperor suddenly burst forth, five elements intertwining together before finally transforming into a celestial primordial giant hand that grasped down from above.

In essence, a Saint Emperor wasn't outside the realm of an Immortal Emperor, but a Fifth Rank Saint Emperor's control over elemental forces was many times stronger than that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor. When they unleashed their full power, their might was terrifying.

"Ni Sa Kong, you dare!"

Kou Hong chatted, how could he possibly let Gongshu Jian be taken away in front of him With a roar of anger, he rushed forward and punched out.

The confrontation between two Fifth Rank Saint Emperors was earth-shattering. Their fists collided, unleashing a tempest of energy that swept through the surroundings, causing even space itself to tremble.

"Kou Hongliao, it seems you're really protecting your own today. Then I'll see how much you've improved over the years!"

Ni Sasha's anger grew, and he struck again. The two sect masters officially clashed, fighting until the heavens darkened and the earth was obscured, with the sun and moon invisible.

Since the sect master had already taken action, the rest could not just stand by. On the side of Lingxiao Sect, Great Elder Huyan Zhe and Second Elder Guang Chong Qiao, along with their powerful disciples, charged forward.

Starlight Sect was not to be outdone either, with Grand Elder Ju He and Second Elder Gong Shu Zhan leading their forces to meet the challenge.

The strongest in the Upper Realm are the Five Great Sects. In the past, any conflicts they had would be resolved within a certain range. This kind of large-scale battle hasn't happened for many years.

As time went on, both sides really started to get into it.

Hu Yan Zuo struck out with a sword, directly beheading a second-rank Saint Emperor of the Xingyao Sect.

"Damn you, old man! You dare!"

The Great Elder, Ju He, roared in fury. The Xingyao Sect had already suffered heavy losses, and now another Saint Emperor had died. How could he not be enraged

The whip in his hand swept out, shattering a Second Rank Saint Emperor of the Lingxiao Sect into pieces.

The killing intent on both sides grew heavier, and their attacks became more ruthless. For a time, screams rose and fell, blood splattered everywhere, and one strong warrior after another fell.

Before Xingyao Sect was destroyed by Ye Bufan, the Nine Great Holy Emperors were killed, resulting in heavy losses. Lingxiao Sect fared better in comparison.

Although their strongest fighters didn't arrive in large numbers, both sides were evenly matched. After a fierce and deadly battle, there were casualties on both sides.

Seeing that half of his troops had been lost, Kou Hong's eyes turned bloodshot. "Ni Sa Kong," he growled, "are you mad"

"Could it be that you want both our major sects to perish If we keep fighting, I'm afraid we'll both be expelled from the ranks of the Five Great Sects!"

Ni Saku's face darkened. He naturally understood the implications here. Three Great Saints had died before, and now, with more deaths and injuries, seven or eight more were lost.

The key is that both sides are equally matched. If they fight, it will only result in mutual damage, and I won't gain any advantage.

"Kou Hong, this debt I, Lingxiao Sect, will remember!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and left the place with the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.

"Damn, what the hell just happened!"

Watching them leave, Kou Hong let out a sigh of relief, but also felt immense anger.

Just a few hours ago, he sent out the nine Great Saint Emperors to deal with Ye Bufan, still full of confidence.

I think that as long as we obtain the chaotic primordial energy, the Starry Splendor Sect will become the strongest among the five major sects in the future.

Never expected this, first the Nine Great Saint Emperors died, now we’re inexplicably at war with the Lingxiao Sect, suffering heavy casualties. What is the reason for all of this

I have to say, things have gone far beyond his initial expectations by now.

Thinking of this, he angrily looked at his uncle, Zhang: "Tell me what exactly happened. Did you kill the people from Lingxiao Sect"

"No, really not!"

Gong Shuchan was so heartbroken, he recounted the whole story truthfully and finally said helplessly: "The other party was too cunning, everything was calculated meticulously. "

The first clone sent out wasn't intended to harm me at all. It was deliberately designed to let me catch it, to tear away the veil.

Then, disguise yourself as me, make me lose myself for a moment, just a short while. During that time, another avatar plants a soul mark on me.

Yet those two were merely avatars, vanishing into the void afterward, leaving not a trace of evidence behind.

"Elder, this is slander! I didn't do it, but how can I explain when no one will believe me!"

When Kou Hong realized what was going on, his face turned ashen. He was a seasoned veteran, and could clearly see that both he and the Lingxiao Sect had been played by someone behind the scenes.derstand the situation of Master Ximen."Normally, powerful beings like Ximen Jiayin at the Mahayana stage wouldn't be detectable by divine sense.But now the other party's physical condition is extreme...
