The leader of the Fuyao Sect glanced at the people below with a sharp look in his eyes.

He spoke.

"We can't let the Chengfeng Sect go. Since the Ghost Emperor might be involved, then our sect's rear is probably in danger as well."

This time, the four major sects all brought along half of their high-level cultivators. If the Ghost Emperor were to defeat them one by one silently, it would be a huge disaster for them and even the entire world of immortal cultivation.

The leader of the Yuqi Sect said: "So..."

The leader of the Yunshang Sect frowned slightly and said, "A quick battle and a quick decision."

Without further delay, they scattered in an instant, gathered sharp spiritual power in their palms, and attacked the sect protection formation below together.

The leader of the Fuyao Sect saw Yu Xiangwan still standing there and whispered.

"Xiang Wan, step back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangwan not only did not retreat, but took a step forward, his voice clear and cool.

"Master, I am also going through the tribulation, let's go together."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Fuyao Sect said nothing more.

Asking them to step back was also a subconscious act of treating them as the weak and helpless juniors when they were first brought into the sect. They were afraid that they could not withstand the pressure that they unintentionally emitted from a certain distance.

I forgot that they are also going through a tribulation now, so it doesn't matter whether they retreat or not.

So I said no more.

In an instant, thunder and lightning surged, and the thick purple lightning appeared and disappeared in the inky black cloud waves, which was shocking to the eye.

The originally light blue sky was gradually eroded and covered by black, turning into a low-pressure black that stretched as far as the eye could see, occasionally with a few deafening "boom" sounds.

The spiritual power around the four sect leaders grew stronger and stronger. The four of them looked at each other, and then attacked the same protective formation of the Chengfeng Sect in tacit understanding.

Upon seeing this, the leader of Chengfeng Sect also flew up and gathered spiritual power to strengthen the formation.

As time passed, the originally transparent sect protection formation suddenly burst into a light golden halo, which disappeared in a flash.

When the third blow was struck, the sect protection formation finally couldn't bear the burden. With a whimpering "crack", it seemed as if cracks had spread out and scattered in the wind.

The leader of Chengfeng Sect failed to defend himself and was instead shocked by the powerful aftermath and took two steps back.

He looked up at the opposite side in disbelief.

But no one gave him time to react. The leader of Fuyao Sect raised his hand, and the disciples of the four major sects moved at the news. They suddenly appeared in the Chengfeng Sect's dojo and fought with those disciples.

In an instant, the sky and the ground became a mess, with various spiritual powers intertwined with strong gale. From time to time, people were hit and fell to the ground, their lives taken away in an instant.

The leader of the Yunshang Sect said nothing, but flew downwards with ruthless moves, aiming directly at the vital point of the leader of the Chengfeng Sect.

The rest of the people were not idle either. They used the method of two surrounding one, or even three surrounding one, to deal with the remaining elders of the Chengfeng Sect who were undergoing tribulation.

Two hours later, Chengfeng Sect suffered a crushing defeat.

Just as the leader of the Yunshang Sect was about to kill the leader of the Chengfeng Sect with a single sword strike, an indigo figure suddenly appeared and lightly blocked the attack.

The leader of the Yunshang Sect was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

Yu Xiangwan obviously also noticed the situation here, and hurriedly killed the Chengfeng Sect disciple who was about to attack him with a sword.

Then he quickly stepped forward and used the hilt of his sword to block the waist of the leader of the Yunshang Sect, preventing her from retreating.

"Master Lian, are you okay?"

The leader of the Yunshang Sect stopped and shook her head, still with a cold and beautiful face. Even when she was injured unexpectedly, she only frowned slightly.

"I'm fine, thank you."

She steadied herself and looked at the person who suddenly appeared opposite her.

The leader of Chengfeng Sect was in a very miserable state at this time. Both his body and his beard, which looked like a Taoist immortal, were stained with blood.

When he saw the person standing in front of him, he was shocked and bowed deeply with trembling hands.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

The man nodded slightly, no longer looking at him, nor trying to comfort him, and was extremely cold.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard what the Chengfeng Sect's leader said.

Some people were unable to react in time and could only look at the Chengfeng Sect leader in confusion.

Those who were quick-witted had already figured out something from this simple conversation.

If the leader of Chengfeng Sect is someone else, then the person who has been with them for nearly ten thousand years has always been a fake leader?

And the true leader is the man in front of him whose face cannot be seen clearly?

This realization made the faces of the sect leaders all look unhappy. Even the cold and icy Yunshang Sect leader couldn't help but show a slightly stunned expression.

This game was started nine thousand years ago.

At this moment, dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

Someone noticed something was wrong, and their voice trembled unconsciously.

"It's the Ghost Emperor! The Ghost Emperor is coming!!"

Just when it seemed that the Chengfeng Sect was about to be killed on the spot, dozens of unfamiliar auras suddenly appeared, and the situation was instantly reversed to a draw, with even a faint trend of dominating.

I can't help but feel nervous.

The lords of the six cities spoke in unison.

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

"This subordinate pays homage to the Ghost Emperor."

Then, the mayors of the six cities of Yelang protected the indigo figure in the middle.

Ye Zhen'an stood beside Yu Xiangwan at some point, looking at the man not far away.

The indigo figure slowly turned his head. He was wearing a strange and evil mask, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

However, he didn't seem to want to hide. He gently raised his hand and took off the ugly mask, revealing a face that confused everyone.

The mask floated lightly in his jade-like hand. With a slight movement of his fingertips, the mask instantly turned into powder and fell to the ground.

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhenan, his eyes were calm, as if meeting old friends again, and his thin lips opened slightly.

"Hello again, Yu Xiangwan."

It was a face that Yu Xiangwan was very familiar with.

Yu Xiangwan tightened his grip on the calloused hand and said in a cold voice.

"Zhang Jingxue, it's you."

Zhang Jingxue looked at Yu Xiangwan and replied in a casual tone, as if reminiscing about the past.

"Yes, it's me."

At this moment, something flashed through Yu Xiangwan's mind, as if all the lines were suddenly connected, and he looked at Zhang Jingxue who was solemn.

Said in a cool voice.

"The Ghost King is you,"

"You are also the leader of Chengfeng Sect,"

"A few hundred years ago, the evil spirits in Yulin Village, the giant-toothed monsters in the Endless Sea that were fed on the souls of cultivators, the demons invading the world of immortal cultivation with their demonic energy, and the chaos in the Luanyu Abyss were all caused by you, right?"

Although it was a question, his tone clearly revealed certainty, and his eyes looked at Zhang Jingxue intently.

Zhang Jingxue burst into laughter upon hearing this, as if it were a flash of a flower. Her jade-like face showed some confusion, and she asked back.

"Where is Yulin Village?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangwan held Pojian's hand and squeezed it until it creaked.

"You used the Evil Nourishing Formation to slaughter all the villagers, turning them into zombies, and then set up the Nine-Bend Blood Evil Formation to forcibly increase the evil cultivator's cultivation level."

Zhang Jingxue heard the indignation in Yu Xiangwan's voice, and then he remembered in the sparse corner that there was indeed such a village.

But it was just a tiny speck of dust. If Yu Xiangwan hadn't mentioned it, he would never have thought of it in his life.

It was really because over the past thousands of years, he had ordered too many villages to be massacred to form formations.

He didn't even do it himself, but his subordinates would mention it when reporting on the situation.

How could he remember insignificant people and insignificant things?

I originally thought that only Ye Zhen'an was meticulous and had a photographic memory, but his cheap junior brother is not bad either.

Even things that happened hundreds of years ago can be associated with him.

He did not deny it, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the indignant Yu Xiangwan and replied.

"Yes, it's me."

Although the incident with the demon clan was not planned by him, he just went along with it and helped Yu Hui test whether throwing Yu Xiangwan into the Dongche Guanhuo Fan could seal all his spiritual power and make his body invisible.

But this one is not a big deal.

It makes no difference whether he is or not.

Yu Xiangwan became furious when he saw Zhang Jingxue's nonchalant look.

The case of Yulin Village is not just one example; there have been countless similar cases over the past hundreds and thousands of years.

But in Zhang Jingxue's eyes, these are nothing.

"Zhang Jingxue, ten thousand years ago, our senior brother was murdered by an evil cultivator and lost his body and soul. But what about you?"

"Not only did you fail to exorcise the evil spirit and comfort the deceased Senior Brother, but you colluded with the evil cultivators and became part of their corrupted hordes!"

"You claim to be seeking revenge for our eldest brother, yet you've murdered countless lives and committed countless evil deeds. Over the past millennia, countless souls have died in vain under your command. Is this what you want? Is this what our eldest brother wants?"

When Zhang Jingxue heard Yu Xiangwan mention his senior brother again, his breathing stopped and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone dared not say a word and tried their best to reduce their presence.

Working under the Ghost Emperor (the Sect Master), everyone knows that the Ghost Emperor (the Sect Master)'s Achilles' heel is Xia Yunche, the chief disciple of the Fuyao Sect ten thousand years ago.

Just when everyone thought Zhang Jingxue was going to get angry, he suddenly calmed down, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he muttered.

"The body is dead and the soul is gone... Where is the spirit of the eldest brother?"

He raised his eyes to look at Yu Xiangwan, his voice sarcastic.

"I am colluding with evil cultivators?"

"Hahaha, going along with the crowd..."

There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, but when he looked carefully, he saw nothing.

Just listen to him continue.

"I will not let any of those who hurt my senior brother that day, including their sects, evil cultivators, and their families, go unpunished!"

"Including those hypocritical immortal cultivation families, their souls have long been sacrificed to my eldest brother by me."

At this point, he changed his tone.

"Oh, right? I also found a place for them where they'll suffer excruciating pain every day until they die. After death, their souls will continue to endure the torment they endured in life for a thousand years. Do you know where I trapped them for those thousand years?"

Yu Xiangwan remained silent, and Zhang Jingxue didn't seem to want him to answer.

said softly.

"You and Ye Zhen'an should have been to that place before."

Yu Xiangwan was searching his memory for all the places he had visited over the years when he heard what Zhang Jingxue said.

"It's the back mountain of Fuyao Sect, the Cliff of Repentance."

As the words fell into Yu Xiangwan's ears, he remembered that sticky and smelly place.

Ten thousand years ago, the Cliff of Repentance did not belong to the territory of the Fufeng Sect.

Therefore, it was Zhang Jingxue who brought all those who participated in the Far North that year to the back mountain where the eldest brother often went and killed them.

This is how the dark mountain came to be, filled with resentment and completely different from what it was ten thousand years ago.

No one could tell that the Cliff of Repentance of the Fuyao Sect was actually the mountain behind the Fufeng Sect where the chief was often punished ten thousand years ago.

And those small animals that appeared from time to time in the back mountain, as well as those vicious monsters and bandits, either disappeared or became a handful of nutrients, dark and damp in the underground where there was no sunlight, and no one remembered them.

Zhang Jingxue has a distant look in his eyes.

The world only knows that Ning Yu destroyed the aristocratic family and killed tens of thousands of people for the sake of his eldest disciple.

But only he knows.

It was he who destroyed the family and killed tens of thousands of people.

How could a person who could teach a disciple with such sincerity like the eldest brother commit the sin of murder just because of losing a mere disciple?

The Qiao family was a well-known immortal cultivation family in the immortal cultivation world ten thousand years ago. They were on par with the Xia family and competed with them on equal terms.

The eldest brother has been placed with high hopes since he was born because of his spiritual body, and he has lived up to everyone's expectations. He has strength and fame. He has emerged as a genius of his generation, and no one can match him.

If others are stars, then he is the bright moon that sheds clear light.

The moon and the stars complement each other, but also counteract each other.

The brighter the moon, the darker the stars.

In that era, for more than a hundred years, the historical stage was almost dominated by the eldest brother alone. As long as he was there, others would be dimmed.

Even Wanqi Yu, who had already become famous early on, was eventually suppressed by his eldest senior brother.

Because his brilliance was too bright, the Qiao family, who had originally been on bad terms with the Xia family, felt a sense of crisis.

The Qiao family, which had stood for ten thousand years, seemed to be under pressure, and the situation became increasingly severe, until it was finally defeated by the Xia family.

How could the Qiao family be willing to do that?

Therefore, they planned a trip to the Far North to lure the evil cultivators there, hoping to get rid of the eldest brother.

They got what they wanted.

By the time Zhang Jingxue had the strength to seek revenge, the Qiao family had become the largest family in the world of immortal cultivation, unmatched by anyone.

The once glorious Xia family was severely damaged by the death of Xia Yunche and faded away in disgrace.

He spared no one from the Qiao family, from the ancestor who was in seclusion trying to reach the peak of tribulation, to the newborn babies crying for food.

He wanted to use their blood to commemorate his eldest brother.

Thus, the once-famous Qiao family was wiped out overnight.

There are no more members of the Qiao family in the world.

Yu Xiangwan naturally thought of the rumor, whose truth or falsity was unknown.

It turns out that destroying the family is true, and killing tens of thousands of people is also true.

But it’s not the master, but Zhang Jingxue.

Zhang Jingxue said.

"Those evil cultivators from ten thousand years ago have long since vanished without a trace, and what you call evil cultivators today were created by me."
