Chapter 450: Chapter 450

"A finger? You are wrong, I will cut off both of your hands!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

With a tap of his foot, he was about to charge at the old woman.

"Enough! Everyone stop at once," a cold snort suddenly sounded.

Following that, the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect flashed in his steps, blocking between Zhang Xiaohao and the old woman.

"Bao Butong, this sect asks you, why would you inflict such grievous harm on an elder of our sect?" the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect demanded with a gloomy face.

A massive aura of the Late-stage Void Transformation Realm burst forth from him.

Like a Mount Tai pressing down towards Zhang Xiaohao.

"Sect Leader Leng, how impressive of you!"

Just then, another cold snort sounded.

Gong Ningyue tapped her foot on the ground and had already appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohao.

Similarly, a massive aura burst forth from within her, clashing with the aura of the Tianyin Sect’s Sect Master.

"Gong Ningyue, what do you mean by this?" the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect coldly shouted.

"What do I mean? Perhaps it’s I who should be questioning you! Since when does the Sect Master need to intervene in battles between aspirant Saint Heirs of the Tianyin Sect?" Gong Ningyue said mockingly.

"Hmph! It’s not that I want to intervene in their battle, but being fellow sect members and both as aspirant Saint Heirs, why must he strike with such severity?" Sect Leader Leng said with a somber face.

"Our Tianyin Sect’s rules! All the battles between the aspirant Saints and Holy Daughters, until the day they truly become Saint Heir or Holy Daughter, are left to them! Life or death, does not matter! If they die, it is only because they are too weak and useless! Am I right, Sect Leader Leng?" Gong Ningyue countered.

"Hmph!" Sect Leader Leng huffed and then spoke.

"Even so! He should not have struck an inner sect elder, let alone sever her finger!"

Gong Ningyue looked disdainfully at the old woman.

"As a high-ranking and empowered elder of our Tianyin Sect, enjoying countless cultivation resources! Such shamelessness, stooping to strike a junior, yet still getting a finger chopped off, she can only blame her own weakness!" Gong Ningyue said.

"Hmph!" Sect Leader Leng said angrily, flicking his sleeve coldly as he glanced at Zhang Xiaohao.

That gaze seemed to say, Bao Butong, you just wait!

Once we enter the tomb, you better hope I don’t find you, otherwise, I have a hundred ways to deal with you!

Zhang Xiaohao looked at him indifferently.

His gaze filled with disdain, for the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect to act so unjustly and protectively towards his juniors, was no wonder that under his leadership, the Tianyin Sect had not grown a bit over the years.

It truly is the sorrow of the Tianyin Sect!

"Bao Butong, you did well! Rest assured, no matter who dares to strike at you in secret, I absolutely will not let them off!" Gong Ningyue implied as she spoke.

Her icy gaze paused briefly on Sect Leader Leng.

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master, for your righteous support!" Zhang Xiaohao, pretending to be Bao Butong, bowed his hands and said.

"Giggle!" Gong Ningyue laughed softly.

A soft white jade-like hand tapped on Zhang Xiaohao’s shoulder deliberately a few times.

With a tap of her foot, she returned to her own territory.

Zhang Xiaohao walked over to her territory, his gaze falling on this group of Tianyin Sect’s core forces.

This group of aspirant Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters appeared to be divided into six or seven camps.

Apart from the camp of Senior Brother Han from earlier, there were five more camps, including his own, totaling seven camps.

There were also a dozen Tianyin Sect elders, also divided into several major camps.

Furthermore, there were the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect and three meditating old monks.

From these three, Zhang Xiaohao felt a deadly threat.

"At least Half-step Cycle Palace Realm Great Powers, possibly even stronger!" Zhang Xiaohao thought in surprise.

It seemed that the Tianyin Sect had gone all out for this so-called tomb of a Cycle Palace Realm expert.

He withdrew his gaze.

Zhang Xiaohao squinted his eyes and glanced at Gong Ningyue.

He wondered suspiciously, what exactly was this woman’s identity? Merely at the Early Void Transformation Peak, yet she incited such wariness from the Sect Master of the Tianyin Sect. Truly bizarre.

His eyes fell on her delicate and smooth white feet.

Could she have a propensity for revealing herself? Every time he saw her, she seemed to dislike wearing shoes.

"Giggle!" Sensing Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze, Gong Ningyue deliberately shook her chest and laughed coquettishly.

Zhang Xiaohao did not feel embarrassed as if caught red-handed.

He withdrew his gaze and began to meditate with closed eyes.

Suddenly, the dark lake ahead violently stirred.

Golden restraints emanated from the lake.

A column of water vortex appeared on the dark lake, emitting a strange power from inside, as if it was a portal to someplace.

"The tomb is about to open. Everyone, take out your tokens and await my command!"

Just then, one of the three old men, who had been meditating on the ground, snorted coldly.

As his words ended, the three men immediately stood up.

Three massive auras burst forth from them.

With a tap of their feet, they swept across towards the dark lake.

Their hand seals changed, and a series of incantations rapidly emanated from their hands.

As his words fell, three strong breaths erupted from their hands, striking the golden restraints.

It was as if something tenacious had been shattered.

With their combined efforts, a huge hole was smashed into the golden restraint above the water column vortex, which they then magically stabilized.

Spurt! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

The three men felt a sweetness in their throats, and under the backlash of the golden restraints, blood spurted out.

The life force, which had almost been spent, was now greatly diminished again.

In an instant, all of their hair turned white.

Even their skin became dry and feeble.

"What are you waiting for? The tomb has opened, go in now!" Gong Ningyue suddenly shouted in reminder.

Holding a black token, she shot like lightning towards the water column vortex.

Zhang Xiaohao, unwilling to show weakness, flipped his palm to take out the black token and, stepping swiftly with the Twelve Heavenly Steps, rushed forward.

In a few flickers, he was ahead of Gong Ningyue, the first to enter the tomb of the Cycle Palace Realm’s great power, becoming the first one to enter the tomb.

"Damn! I didn’t expect this brat to be hiding so deep! I was unnecessarily worried for him," Gong Ningyue muttered coldly upon seeing this scene.

With a flash, she followed closely behind Zhang Xiaohao into the tomb of the Cycle Palace Realm great power.

"Damn! This brat is so fast, even faster than our sect! He really kept a low profile in the sect all these years," Sect Leader Leng sneered to himself.

His eyes filled with fervor, he flashed and was the third to rush into the tomb.
