Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 144 The Old Sect Master

"How... how is this possible..."

Jiang Hai murmured in disbelief.

It just so happened that Ye Jiu and the others were passing by him.

After hearing his murmur, Chen Dao scoffed disdainfully, "How could those who have only seen the sky from the bottom of a well understand the vastness of this world?"

With that, Ye Jiu and his companions had already passed Jiang Hai and continued walking towards the deeper parts of Guiyi Dao Sect.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed, each with shocked and frightened expressions on their faces.

Ye Ling's strength had surpassed everyone's comprehension.

The Myriad Blade Formation, laid out by twelve pinnacle Great Grandmasters and four half-step War Kings working together, was still effortlessly broken by Ye Ling.

Such strength was beyond the understanding of those present.

"Deputy Sect Master Jiang, shall we go?"

The Southern Border King spoke in a deep voice.

Compared to Ye Ling, the Northern Liao King, he felt like a joke.

The Guiyi Dao Sect that he had tried so hard to win over was like a fragile vase in Ye Ling's hands, easily shattered upon contact.

Ye Ling was like a star hanging high in the sky, while he, the Southern Border King, was nothing but a common mortal, only fit to stand on the ground and look up at the stars.

Jiang Hai came back to his senses and nodded solemnly.

At that moment, his belief wavered.

He had been convinced that Ye Ling would surely face defeat at the Guiyi Dao Sect today, yet he didn't expect the two formations the sect deployed with great effort to be broken so easily.

He wondered whether the old Sect Master, who was in charge of the last defense, could withstand Ye Ling...

Jiang Hai's thoughts were incredibly complex, and he no longer had the disdain he had felt at the beginning when facing Ye Ling.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling had already arrived in front of a grand hall.

A signboard hung on the doorway of the hall, bearing the four characters for Guiyi Dao Sect.

Each character was written powerfully and revealed a faint sword intent emanating from between the lines.

Ye Ling stood in front of the grand hall, examining the signboard with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"The foundation of Guiyi Dao Sect is not weak; it turns out there is such a skilled swordsman..."

Ye Ling said with a light laugh.

As his voice faded, an elder in white clothes slowly walked out from the grand hall.

He didn't carry the overbearing aura of the disciples and elders of the previous two formations; instead, his face bore a faint smile.

"I am Ji Canghai of the Guiyi Dao Sect. I've had the pleasure of meeting the Northern Liao King!"

The elder greeted Ye Ling with a slight cupped-fist salute, smiling as he spoke.

Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a light chuckle, "Are you the former Sect Master of Guiyi Dao Sect?"

"The outside world rumored that your breakthrough to War King failed and you had passed away; it seems everyone was wrong about you."

"The late stages of War King, not a weak level of strength."

Hearing this, Ji Canghai shook his head with a smile, speaking calmly, "It's all fabrications of the common folk. When I announced my seclusion, I had already successfully reached the realms of War King."

"These years spent cultivating in the back mountains have allowed me to attain my current level."

Ye Ling nodded slightly, then his gaze returned to the signboard.

"It seems that the Northern Liao King is quite interested in our Guiyi Dao Sect's signboard?"

Ji Canghai asked.

With the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, Ye Ling said, "The sword intent on this signboard is extremely intense; presumably, the one who carved it had reached the pinnacle of War King, right?"

"Indeed, the Northern Liao King does have an eye like a torch!"

Ji Canghai's expression turned solemn, then he continued, "This plaque was personally carved by my master after he broke through the pinnacle of the War King a hundred years ago!"

"If my master were still in the Guiyi Dao Sect, it would not be my turn to be your opponent, Northern Liao King."

Ye Ling smiled and nodded, then turned to Ji Canghai and asked, "Where has your master gone now?"

The lifespan of martial arts experts is much longer than that of ordinary people.

An expert at the pinnacle of the War King, barring any accidents, could easily live for over a hundred years.

Calculating the age, even if Ji Canghai's master had grown old, it was unlikely that he had passed away.

Upon hearing this, a touch of reminiscence flickered through Ji Canghai's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Sixty years ago, after I took over the position of sect leader from my master, he left the Guiyi Dao Sect."

"As for where my master went, I do not know."

"Time flies, sixty years pass by in the blink of an eye, and I don't know whether my master is still alive and well..."

The conversation between the two was laced with laughter, as if they were not opponents at all, but rather two old friends who had not met for a long time.

"Enough, bygones are bygones, and there's no use talking about it any further."

"Today, the Northern Liao King has come to visit my Guiyi Dao Sect. It shall be I who will be your final opponent within the Guiyi Dao Sect!"

Ji Canghai let out a light sigh, then his expression became serious as he spoke.

Ye Ling nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You are different from the others in the Guiyi Dao Sect."

"Even those four who are half a step into the War King realm have a temperament far stronger than the younger generation of the Guiyi Dao Sect."

Hearing this, Ji Canghai revealed a wry smile.

After a sigh, he spoke, "In the complicated world, how many can stick to their true self and pursue martial arts single-mindedly..."

"It's not their fault, and I thank you, Northern Liao King, for showing mercy to them earlier."

Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, his expression calm as he said, "I am not so narrow-minded as to use lethal force against them for a few words."

"After our fight, I shall take my leave."

Ji Canghai nodded gravely.

Even without having faced Ye Ling, he already knew that he was no match for the Northern Liao King before him.

The Myriad Blade Formation from the second challenge was able to exhibit strength quite similar to Ji Canghai's.

If Ye Ling could easily break through the Myriad Blade Formation, how could Ji Canghai possibly be his opponent?

Originally, the third challenge was to be met by the current Sect Master of the Guiyi Dao Sect. However, upon recognizing Ye Ling's strength, the Guiyi Dao Sect naturally wanted to present their strongest capability.

Stay tuned with empire

Thus, they directly summoned the old sect master who had been in seclusion and cultivating in the rear mountains for years to serve as the guardian for this third challenge.

"Northern Liao King, be cautious, I'm about to make my move!"

Ji Canghai said in a heavy voice.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, his demeanor casual as if he did not take the Guiyi Dao Sect's old Sect Master, with his late-stage War King strength, seriously at all.

"Swoosh!"

The broadsword that Ji Canghai had carried on his back immediately unsheathed, and a sound of a blade rang out instantly.

The moment the broadsword was drawn, a crowd of onlookers had also arrived in front of the grand hall.

However, not a single person dared to get close to the grand hall. Everyone stood far off to the side, looking at Ji Canghai in disbelief.

Clearly, the appearance of the old sect master, who was rumored to have died long ago, had left everyone in shock.

Ji Canghai was not distracted by these people, just wielding his broadsword, he slashed a blade towards Ye Ling!

A dazzling blade light burst forth from the broadsword in an instant, heading straight for Ye Ling.
