Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

It was an incomplete ancient seal, dark gold in color, and although incomplete, it exuded an overwhelming imperial aura.

It was as if the phantom of an ancient emperor floated above it, suppressing all the heavens!

A terrifying aura of extreme power spread out, instantly dispersing the chaotic energy of the Shattered Star Abyss and causing the entire starry sky to tremble.

"Ancient...Ancient Emperor's Weapon?" The three ancient barbarians' pupils shrank sharply, and despair instantly enveloped their hearts.

No matter how powerful they are, they cannot possibly fight against a resurrected ancient imperial weapon with their severely injured quasi-emperors' bodies, even if it is a damaged ancient imperial weapon!

This was completely beyond their capacity to handle.

They were already at a lower level than their opponents, and now the opponents have brought out ancient imperial weapons. How are they supposed to fight them?

The three of them were now truly in despair.

"Old Monster Lan, you!" Even the gray-robed quasi-emperor was taken aback, clearly not expecting the other party to directly use such a powerful weapon. This was too risky!

With seven major powers and three minor powers, is it necessary to be so stable, given the suppression of realms?

"To prevent any unforeseen complications, let's kill them cleanly first!" The quasi-emperor surnamed Lan grinned maliciously, activating the incomplete ancient seal. Dark golden light gathered and locked onto the three ancient barbarians.

He always prioritizes stability in his work, leaving no room for others to maneuver. In particular, he is never careless when dealing with so-called prodigies, a lesson he has learned over many years.

Those so-called top geniuses often unleash their full potential, and many people suffer because of this.

Therefore, he never underestimates anything, and once he starts something, he goes all out.

Shi Xuan and Yun Li exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

The ancient barbarian roared, preparing to fight with his bare body to buy even the slightest chance for his companions.

Just as the destructive beam was about to burst forth.

A peaceful voice echoed in the starry sky.

"stop."

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears with crystal clarity.

The space rippled like water, and a middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a simple blue robe, with an ordinary face but an otherworldly air, appeared out of thin air between the two.

He looked like an ordinary wandering Taoist priest, but when he appeared, the beam of destruction condensed from the incomplete ancient seal paused slightly, as if blocked by an invisible force.

"Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?" The quasi-emperor surnamed Lan was both surprised and angry, and shouted sharply.

No one can save Gu Man and his two companions today, not even if someone comes, he said.

The Taoist in green robes didn't even glance at the ancient imperial seal. His gaze calmly swept over everyone present, finally settling on the quasi-emperor surnamed Lan. He said indifferently, "Ancient imperial weapons are not suitable for this occasion. Put them away."

His aura was profound and deep, clearly indicating that he was also at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

But facing three equal-ranking soldiers and a damaged imperial weapon, he showed no emotion whatsoever, not even a hint of fear, clearly indicating he was no ordinary person.

The gray-robed quasi-emperor's expression changed, as if he had thought of something. He quickly cupped his hands, his tone becoming extremely polite: "May I ask if you are from the Dao Seeking Sect? Or perhaps... Fellow Daoist Qingyangzi?"

Upon hearing the names of Dao Asking Sect and Qingyangzi, the momentum of the quasi-emperors surnamed Lan immediately waned.

Qingyangzi!

An elder of the Dao Seeking Sect, a figure renowned throughout the heavens.

Qingyangzi was not the kind of child prodigy; in the early stages of his cultivation, he was even much slower than his peers, and could not be considered a genius at all.

However, he was extremely calm and liked to sit alone and contemplate the world and nature.

Starting from the Sendai Realm, he gradually accumulated strength and steadily reached the peak of Quasi-Emperor. His foundation was terrifyingly solid, and he was recognized as a representative of the Daoist principle of following nature.

The Taoist priest in the green robe nodded slightly: "Indeed."

With just two words, the aura of the seven powerful figures opposite, including the quasi-emperor surnamed Lan who held the ancient imperial seal, instantly weakened by more than half, and their faces showed fear and even apprehension.

The Dao Seeking Sect!

The sect from which the Chaos Emperor Jiang Hao originated is now the number one imperial lineage in all the heavens!

His disciples traversed the starry sky, which to some extent represented the will and face of that invincible emperor.

Especially at this time when the Great Dao of the Chaos Emperor is about to disappear and its power still covers the heavens, who would dare not give face to the Dao Seeking Sect?

Qingyangzi and his group weren't afraid, but the key issue was that he came from the Dao Seeking Sect.

The gray-robed quasi-emperor took a deep breath, lowering his posture even further: "I was unaware of the arrival of fellow Daoist from the Dao Seeking Sect. I apologize for any offense. Since you have spoken... Fellow Daoist Lan, why don't you quickly withdraw your ancient imperial weapon!"

The quasi-emperor surnamed Lan's expression changed, but in the end he did not dare to act rashly and reluctantly withdrew the incomplete ancient seal.

No one else is allowed, but the Dao Asking Sect is an exception.

Qingyangzi then turned his gaze to the three bewildered Gu Man members, his tone softening: "Are you three alright?"

The three ancient barbarians then came to their senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives, Senior Qingyangzi. We... are alright for now."

Their hearts were filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and gratitude for the sudden appearance of the powerful Dao Seeking Sect expert.

Qingyangzi nodded: "Since there is no serious problem, you should leave quickly. This place is not suitable for you to stay for long."

He did not inquire about the reasons, nor did he favor either side. He simply prevented the use of the ancient imperial weapon, maintaining a relatively fair bottom line. At least in terms of top-tier external forces, the disparity should not be so great.

The gray-robed quasi-emperor and the others looked grim, but dared not refute him.

Without the overwhelming force of the ancient imperial weapon, although they still held an absolute advantage, the three young men on the other side clearly had the means to fight to the death. Even if they could defeat them, they would offend the Dao Seeking Sect, which would be a loss.

"Let's go!" The gray-robed quasi-emperor gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at the three ancient barbarians. "Consider yourselves lucky; you won't be so fortunate next time!"

This group of people were also decisive; since they couldn't achieve their goal, they left as soon as possible.

After saying that, the gray-robed quasi-emperor led the others and quickly tore through the void to leave.

Only after the aura of the formidable enemy completely disappeared did the three of them finally breathe a sigh of relief. Their tense nerves relaxed, and they immediately felt their injuries and fatigue surge up like a tide.

"Thank you again for your help, senior!" Shi Xuan forced himself to bow again solemnly.

Qingyangzi waved his hand, his tone still calm: "No need for formalities. I just happened to be passing by and sensed the fluctuations of the ancient imperial weapon, so I came to check. Although there is competition on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, using an ancient imperial weapon to bully the younger generation is against the rules. The three of you have good talents, so be careful."

After saying that, he didn't wait for the three of them to say anything more. His figure rippled like water and disappeared from the spot, as if he had never appeared.

He did indeed come here simply to maintain a certain level of fair competition, just as he said.

"This Senior Qingyangzi of the Dao Seeking Sect... what an amazing aura! I can't feel much pressure, but even a quasi-emperor wielding an ancient imperial weapon is obedient to him," Yun Li exclaimed, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

"This is the majesty of a Great Emperor's sect," Shi Xuan thought, still shaken.

"Fortunately, a senior from the Dao Seeking Sect passed by, otherwise we might really have been doomed here today. Although the Chaos Emperor has not appeared for a long time, his power still protects a certain order in the heavens."

Gu Man scratched his head, and said earnestly but honestly, "Yes, if I become powerful in the future, I want to be like the Chaos Emperor and the Dao Seeking Sect, and not let those bastards bully people!"

"Let's heal our injuries first." Yun Li took out some pills and distributed them to the two of them. "We owe the Dao Seeking Sect a great debt this time. Let's go and find a safe place to heal."

The three of them supported each other and then transformed into streaks of light and disappeared.
