Chapter 1877: Black Kshetra Sect, Xie Zong

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Dragon Warriors had always been an extraordinary existence.

This was because every Dragon Warrior would have the support of a Divine Dragon that had seven claws or more behind them.

Each Divine Dragon with seven claws or more could only bestow the gift of Dragonization once in its entire life! Due to this reason, every Dragon Warrior usually had the support of the Divine Dragon that had bestowed the gift of Dragonization on him.

A Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior would have a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon supporting him.

An Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior would have an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon supporting him.

A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior would have an Nine-clawed Divine Dragon supporting him.

In the long history of Dao Martial Saint Land, there were many Seven-clawed Dragon Warriors that had appeared, including a few Eight-clawed Dragon Warriors.

Once, somebody had killed a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior. In the end, that person was killed by the Seven-clawed Divine Dragon!

Once, somebody had killed a close relative of an Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior. Due to this reason, that person was killed by an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon!

Somebody had also annihilated the entire sect that an Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior was in except for the Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior, his family, and close friends. However, the Eight-clawed Divine Dragon did not seek revenge from the person when it found out about it.

Somebody had also snatched a Super Saint Weapon from a Dragon Warrior, and the Divine Dragon did not seek revenge on behalf of that Dragon Warrior.

These incidents that happened in the past were proofs that the protection from the Divine Dragons with seven claws or more was limited.

Due to this reason, the powerhouse from the Upper Province who came to the Azure Cloud Mansion with the intention to snatch the Devilseal Tablet had shown mercy and did not kill Duan Ling Tian after he had transformed into a Dragon Warrior!

The middle-aged man, Xie Zong, who had flown away and was prepared to slaughter the people in the Azure Cloud Mansion after snatching the Devilseal Tablet away muttered to himself with a grim expression, “Damn it! Why must that fellow be a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?! If he’s only a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior, I can still kill him! I, Xie Zong, am not afraid of those few Seven-clawed Divine Dragons in the Upper Province anyway!”

Based on his words, he was bold enough to kill a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior and was not afraid of a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon at all!

“Currently, there are no Eight-clawed Divine Dragons in the Dao Martial Saint Land, so where did this Nine-clawed Divine Dragon come from? Looks like the reason Duan Ling Tian is able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior must be due to him obtaining the gift of Dragonization left behind by a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon a long, long time ago! That Nine-clawed Divine Dragon must have risen to the Devata Realm and must be extremely powerful!” Xie Zong was uncertain if the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon paid any attention to Duan Ling Tian or not so he did not dare to take the risk and act recklessly.

If he was wrong, he would die!

After all, even a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon would only be able to grant Dragonization to a person once in his entire life. It was impossible that the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon did not have high regard of Duan Ling Tian.

Due to this reason, he did not dare to kill Duan Ling Tian and those close to him.

Naturally, he felt very stifled because of this.

“Huh?” Suddenly, a group of Black Armored Guards appeared in Xie Zong’s sight, causing his eyes to lit up immediately.

As soon as Xie Zong saw the group of patrolling Black Armored Guards, they noticed him as well. They surrounded him and asked, “Who are you?!”

However, they soon realized that as the middle-aged man standing nearby lifted his hand and fisted his hand, the air in their surroundings seemed to grow heavy. It pressed down on them until it was difficult for them to move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!



A series of loud explosions resonated in the air as the Black Armored Guards exploded one by one, leaving behind a bloody rain.

After killing the group of Black Armored Guards, Xie Zong’s heart felt less stifled.

Xie Zong narrowed his crossed-eyes and smiled sinisterly as he muttered, “This is only the beginning!”

“Stop!” At this moment, a voice rang out. As it turned out, it was Duan Ru Feng who had been following Xie Zong to stop him.

“If it isn’t for the fact that you’re Duan Ling Tian’s father, I would’ve killed you! The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion… Tsk tsk… Just a mere leader of a quasi third-rate force, and you actually dare to make so much noise in front of me, Xie Zong!” Xie Zong glanced at Duan Ru Feng coldly and casually push one of his hand out.

At once, the air vibrated and a vast and invisible energy swept out, sending Duan Ru Feng flying again.

Even someone as strong as Duan Ru Feng could barely endure a blow from him.

“Hurmph!” At the same time, as though Xie Zong had sensed something, his eyes turned cold as he pushed with the back of his hand.

As a loud bang reverberated, the air trembled. A wretched figure was sent flying backward suddenly.

It was a black-clad man. Due to the reason he was dressed entirely in black from head to toe, one could not see his appearance clearly.

Barf!

As he was sent flying, he threw up a mouthful of blood.

“Wu Ying!” Horror dawned on Duan Ru Feng who was sent flying into the distance when he saw this.

The person tried to sneak an attack on Xie Zong was none other than Yue Wu Ying! Yue Wu Ying was a mysterious and elusive person in the Azure Cloud Mansion. He was even more mysterious than Duan Ru Feng the Mansion Master.

However, every member of the Azure Cloud Mansion knew Yue Wu Ying was like their Mansion Master’s shadow.

Most importantly, he excelled in sneak attacks similar to a ghost.

Although his strength was weaker than Duan Ru Feng, Duan Ru Feng might not be able to kill someone as easily as he could due to his stealthiness.

However, today, even he had missed his mark.

Based on this, one could tell Xie Zong’s strength was far superior to Yue Wu Ying!

‘With Wu Ying’s sneak attack, even an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse would be taken by surprise and be killed. However, this person called Xie Zong actually detected him when he was about to make his move! Even a powerhouse at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage might not be able to do this!’ There was a hint of dread in Duan Ru Feng’s eyes when he looked at Xie Zong again. ‘It’s very likely that his cultivation base is above the Quintessential Saint Stage!”

“Lord Xie Zong!” Xie Zong’s eyes turned cold as he was about to kill Yue Wu Ying when a voice resonated in the distance. An ancient figure appeared, accompanied by that voice.

With just a glance, Xie Zong could tell it was one of the Watchers in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He was a Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator sent by a first-rate force from the Upper Province.

“Yes?” Faced with this Watcher, Xie Zhong had an indifferent expression on his face. In fact, upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of irritation as well. It was clear he did not have high regard for the other person.

The Watcher was an old man. It was clear he felt awkward when faced with Xie Zong.

How could he not feel awkward?

Not only was Xie Zong stronger than him, but even his background was not something he could compare to!

Although the force the Watcher was from was a first-rate force in the Upper Province, he was merely an ordinary elder. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the awful Lower Province!

However, Xie Zong was someone from one of the three great sects, the Black Kshetra Sect. Not only that, but he had a high position in the Black Kshetra Sect too.

Even the Leader of the Upper Province’s first-rate force behind him would have to treat him with respect, let alone someone like him.

“Lord Xie Zong, the rules prohibiting powerhouses above the Quintessential Saint Stage from coming to the Lower Province and killing indiscriminately is agreed upon by the three great sects, including your sect. Is it okay for you to kill as few people as possible? Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for me to come up with an explanation to my superiors if news of this spread out,” the Watcher said humbly to Xie Zong with a wry smile.

“Hurmph!” Upon hearing the Watcher’s words, Xie Zong snorted coldly in disdain. “If somebody blames you for neglecting your duty because of this incident, you can always ask him to come to the Black Kshetra Sect to look for me, Xie Zong, for an explanation!”

Go to the Black Kshetra Sect to look for him for an explanation?

The Watcher smiled wryly. It was very likely that the Leader from the first-rate force he was from would not dare to go to the Black Kshetra Sect to look for Xie Zong to ask for an explanation.

Put aside the fact that Xie Zong was an elder in the Black Kshetra Sect, his father was one of the four great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect!

In the Black Kshetra Sect, when the four great Karmapas joined forces, they could even defeat the Sect Leader! Based on that, one could see how strong they were and how high their positions were!

Xie Zong glanced at the Watcher disdainfully before he shifted his gaze back to Yue Wu Ying. He smirked coldly. “You must be unrelated to Duan Ling Tian. In that case, I’ll send you to hell!”

The moment his words left his mouth, horror dawned on Duan Ru Feng’s face. The expression of the face hidden underneath the black cloth turned grim.

“Why would a mighty Black Kshetra Sect’s elder come to the Lower Province to flaunt his strength?” At the moment Xie Zong was about to make his move, an indifferent voice sounded. It seemed as though the voice came from every direction. At the very least, it sounded that way to everyone present on the scene except for Xie Zong.

However, upon hearing that voice, Xie Zong immediately shifted his attention to the north as he said in a deep voice, “Who are you?!”

Duan Ru Feng was originally worried about Yue Wu Ying and had a grave expression on his face. However, his eyes lit up immediately when he heard this voice. At the same time, his eyes were also trained in the same direction as Xie Zong.

Upon hearing this voice, although Yue Wu Ying’s face could not be seen, one could see his body trembling slightly for a moment.

As the Watcher also turned his attention north, a figure stepped out from behind the clouds in a manner that was neither hurried nor slow.

It was an old man dressed in a long gray robe! As he hovered in the sky, he looked like a great sage.

“The Old Prophet!” As soon as Xie Zong saw the old man, his eyes lit up immediately. At this moment, his heartbeat increased and his breathing quickened.

The Old Prophet was the current successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect’s Second Absolute, the Prophet Progeny. Not only that, but he was a pest and a thorn in the sides of the three great sects, including the Black Kshetra Sect.

‘If I can kill the Old Prophet and bring his head back, my chances of becoming the next Sect Leader will increase!’ Xie Zong’s heart continued to beat rapidly.

“Old Prophet, I can’t believe you’re also tempted by the Devilseal Tablet. Unfortunately, the Devilseal Tablet has already fallen into my hands! As for you, since you’re here, there’s no need for you to leave. You can just stay back!” Xie Zong disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

At the very least, among the people present on the scene, whether it was Duan Ru Feng or Yue Wu Ying, both of them could hardly see his movements.

Even the Watcher whose cultivation base was at the Quintessential Saint Stage could barely catch Xie Zong’s movements as well.
