Chapter 295: The Overbearing Senior Brother

Standing on the back of the Kunpeng, which stretched for thousands of miles, felt just like standing on an endless expanse of land, boundless and unfathomable.

Xin Feng was a proud disciple of the Jiuxiao Sect, naturally possessing great knowledge and experience, but even he was completely stunned by the sight before him.

The Kunpeng was an ancient ferocious beast, known only by name, never seen in person. Now, the real Kunpeng stood before him, and how could it not be shocking?

Looking at the colossal size of the Kunpeng, Xin Feng couldn’t help but wonder what kind of perilous world humans must have lived in during ancient times.

“Brother Lin, your left arm…” Xin Feng asked with concern. He never expected Lin Feng to have sacrificed his own arm—an act he could never have imagined.

Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively, his eyes gleaming with determination. His voice rang loud and clear across the entire Jiuxiao Sect, “Our Holy Sect is in crisis now—what’s this sacrifice compared to that? Brother Feng, hold on tight. Kunpeng’s flight is much faster than crossing the void.”

Seeing Lin Fan’s resolve, Xin Feng felt immense admiration. At the same time, he felt incredibly fortunate to be able to call Lin Fan a brother. To have such a companion was a blessing earned through countless lifetimes.

“Big bird, let’s go! Destination—the Holy Sect!” Lin Fan stood atop the Kunpeng, waved his hand decisively toward the horizon.

“Boom…”

In an instant, Kunpeng’s wings—so vast they seemed to stretch beyond the heavens—flapped once, and in a flash, it transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the distant sky.

The disciples of Jiuxiao Sect looked solemnly toward the horizon, filled with reverence.

Moments ago, they had heard what their Senior Brother Lin had said.

He had sacrificed his own arm just to return to the sect quickly.

Looking at the bloodstain left on the ground, the disciples of Jiuxiao Sect could only sigh in admiration. Senior Brother Lin was truly worthy of the title—only a person like him deserved such respect.

Holy Sect.

At this moment, it was in dire straits.

Han, the Sect Leader of Jiuxiao, was no longer the same leader he once was, but the Holy Sect remained unaware of this.

This time, when Han arrived at the Holy Sect, its Sect Leader Yan naturally went out to personally welcome him.

The long-standing friendly relationship between Jiuxiao Sect and Holy Sect was considered a major diplomatic event by the Holy Sect.

Despite his immense power, Sect Leader Yan still failed to detect the change in Han.

Elder Wuya had been searching for Liang Yichu’s presence all along. To his confusion, among the many people who had arrived, some were familiar to him, but many were not. And the aura surrounding these unfamiliar figures felt off.

However, seeing how joyfully Han interacted with his own sect leader, Elder Wuya did not suspect anything sinister.

Then, during the banquet, Han revealed his claws, striking Yan Hongyu with lightning-fast ferocity.

A single strike from someone at the peak of the Great Heaven Realm was not something ordinary people could endure. Even though Yan Hongyu had deep cultivation, he spat out blood profusely, his strength plummeting to only sixty percent.

To Han, this was already enough. With the strongest fighter of the Holy Sect crippled, the sect was now as good as his.

…

“Han Sect Leader, why have you done this?” At this moment, the high-level martial cultivators of the Holy Sect gathered outside the grand hall, while Yan Hongyu, gravely injured, looked on in confusion.

He couldn’t understand Han’s motives.

“The Holy Sect must be destroyed.” Han now exuded a terrifying aura, one that sent chills down everyone’s spines.

“Sect Leader, this person is no longer the Han Yongyi we once knew,” Elder Wuya, watching the scene unfold before him, felt a surge of sorrow and fury.

They had unwittingly invited wolves into their home, allowing the pack of ravenous beasts into the Holy Sect.

…

Nameless Peak.

“Senior Brother, something terrible has happened! Our sect is under attack!” At this moment, Tianyu rushed in from outside Nameless Peak, his clothes stained with blood.

“Huh…?” Zhang Erdou, who had recently become the senior disciple of Nameless Peak, was completely stunned upon hearing this, his expression one of utter disbelief.

“What about the Sect Leader and the elders?” Zhang Erdou asked urgently.

Gong Bingye, who had been playfully teasing Zhiqiao, also stopped mid-motion, sensing that something serious was happening.

“The Sect Leader is seriously injured, and the elders are being held back. Now, those from Jiuxiao Sect are rampantly slaughtering disciples across the peaks. Senior Brother, what should we do?” Tianyu asked anxiously.

“Junior Brothers, don’t panic.” At this moment, Zhang Erdou’s expression turned serious. He lowered his head in thought, then his small eyes flared with a sharp light, “You take Zhiqiao and hide in the secret chamber. No matter what happens, don’t come out—understood?”

Gong Bingye immediately understood the gravity of the situation and nodded quickly. Zhiqiao, still seemingly unaware of the danger, clung tightly to her Snow King Lion.

“Senior Brother, Second Brother—you two should hide too. This war is beyond your strength to handle,” said the usually silent Mo Qiongqi.

Over the past few months, Mo Qiongqi’s cultivation had advanced greatly, reaching the edge of the Great Heaven Realm, making him a master at the peak of the Small Heaven Realm.

The “Undying and Unyielding” cultivation technique had brought Mo Qiongqi countless benefits.

“No! I am the senior disciple of the Holy Demon Sect at Nameless Peak. Now that our sect is in crisis, I absolutely cannot run away without a fight,” Zhang Erdou declared firmly.

“But Senior Brother, your legs are shaking,” Mo Qiongqi rolled his eyes.

“Nonsense! I’m the senior disciple, and I say what goes!” Though instinctively afraid, Zhang Erdou stood tall like a true man at this moment.

Zhang Erdou’s talent was nothing extraordinary, but under Lin Fan’s guidance, his cultivation had progressed rapidly. He had now reached the early stage of the Divine Realm, far exceeding the threshold of the先天 (Innate) Realm.

Feng Jue’s talent was even better than Zhang Erdou’s. With Lin Fan’s guidance and a steady supply of powerful pills, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Realm.

Tianyu was also quite strong now, though not as monstrous as Mo Qiongqi, he had reached the middle stage of the Small Heaven Realm.

“Miss Gong, I entrust my little junior sister to you. Please, make sure to protect her well,” Zhang Erdou said earnestly.

“I understand. I can’t help you fight, but I can make sure Zhiqiao is safe,” Gong Bingye nodded.

“Little sister, listen to Gong Sister. Don’t be afraid. Your senior brothers will come back for you,” Zhang Erdou crouched down and gently patted his junior sister’s head.

“I will. I’m a good girl,” Cai Zhiqiao nodded, then patted the backpack at her waist, “I have lollipops, so I won’t be scared.”

At that moment, Zhang Erdou exuded an aura of dominance. Looking at his junior brothers, he declared, “Junior Brothers, the sect is in crisis. It’s time to show the might of the Holy Demon Sect. Let’s form a rescue team and head to the other peaks to save our brothers. Let’s move out!”

With a decisive wave of his hand, Zhang Erdou, along with Mo Qiongqi, Feng Jue, and Tianyu, charged down the burning mountain like warriors ready to face death.
