Chapter 1450: Visitors From Taiqing Sect

The old lady was someone who had made her name long ago. Before this, she was only a seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator. But after Long Jun left seclusion, he had helped push her to the eighth stage. With her cultivation and an excellent weapon like the dragon staff, she had enough strength to face any peak Saint.

She had 50 percent confidence that she could defeat Despair. Even if she couldn't defeat him, she was still confident she could escape unscathed. Even Long Jun, Long Qianqiu, and Jin Junyi thought the same. They all believed in the old lady. After all, she was an expert who had made her name many years ago.

Little did they know, they had all underestimated Despair. Despair was a super expert capable of putting up a fight against Xiang Shaoyun. Even a regular Great Saint might not be his match, much less someone like the old lady.

With the dragon staff in hand, the old lady mustered all her strength and unleashed her ultimate attack. She had to recover some of the Dragon Society's prestige from this battle. As she stabbed forth with her staff, a terrifying energy blast tore space apart before her and shot toward the Dragon Society.

Sky Devouring Dragon!

A dragon manifested. As it shot forward, it opened its jaws, which seemed capable of devouring everything in existence. Everything in its path was turned into a void as it advanced with an unstoppable might. This was an attack that could kill peak Saints, and it was also the old lady's strongest attack.

Long Jun, Long Qianqiu, and Jin Junyi were all overwhelmed with shock. Clearly, not even they had expected the old lady to be so strong. Some of the Saints from the Ziling Sect's side also looked anxious. However, Xiang Shaoyun, Green Ghost, and some others still looked completely calm, as though they had complete confidence in Despair.

Facing the incoming attack, Despair smiled and said, "Old granny, you're too weak."

Right after saying that, he swung his saber at the old lady. A boundless aura of despair spread in all directions. At the same time, the saber ray carried a thick saber intent and overbearing might as it beheaded the incoming dragon and continued on toward the old lady.

The aura of despair allowed the old lady to feel the sensation of death. In her eyes, the scene of life slowly dispersing from her body as she perished appeared. Completely shaken by fear, she couldn't even avoid the incoming attack.

Pu!

The attack cut her into two. Not even her saint soul survived.

With one slash, a peak Saint had been killed. Despair, a top-10 most wanted criminal, was indeed the bringer of despair.

"Old lady!" the Dragon Society members howled in grief.

Only four rounds had passed, yet they had suffered three defeats. There was no point in continuing with the final round. The Dragon Society was about to submit under the Ziling Sect.

"Very well. The Ziling Sect will pay for this!" said Long Jun as he roared furiously with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Long Jun, you have lost. Are you going to go back on your words?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Haha, you think you can take over the Dragon Society so easily? Xiang Shaoyun, all of you will die today! The Ziling Sect will be ours as well!" said Long Jun as he waved his arm, releasing some sort of signal into the sky.

Boom!

"Trying to play tricks on us? You're courting death!" said Despair, his eyes flickering murderously.

Just as he was about to charge forward, Xiang Shaoyun stopped him and said, "Return, Despair. Let's see just what kind of trump card they have."

Despair did not disobey the command and retreated beside Xiang Shaoyun. Both he and Bing Busi took their respective positions and acted as Xiang Shaoyun's guards.

Green Ghost frowned and said, "Ten people are flying in our direction. One is a pseudo-God, two are Great Saints, and the rest are peak Saints."

Xiang Shaoyun had also sensed the newcomers. His face turned cold, as he had not expected the Dragon Society to have such a powerful trump card. Before long, the 10 newcomers arrived. A powerful aura spread in all directions, pressing down upon both the Ziling Sect members and the Dragon Society members.

"Greetings, Lord He Yuan," said Long Jun as he bowed. "Everyone, greet Lord He Yuan. These people are all the elders of a peak tier-8 organization, the Taiqing Sect."

The moment the Dragon Society members heard that these visitors came from a tier-8 organization, they lowered their heads to show their respects. The Taiqing Sect was a famed tier-8 organization based in the Soaring Dragon Province. It was rumored that they had a God Realm expert among their ranks. Many of their disciples had qualified to enter the four academies, with some of them having entered the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

For the Taiqing Sect to send such a powerful group of people to help the Dragon Society, it was clear how important the Dragon Society was for them. Xiang Shaoyun had long heard about the Taiqing Sect, but he had never been involved with them. The Taiqing Sect was in the middle of the Soaring Dragon Province and was the tyrant of that area. Xiang Shaoyun had not imagined that the Dragon Society had actually gotten close to the Taiqing Sect.

"You may rise," said He Yuan, the pseudo-God from the Taiqing Sect.

Next, he glanced at Xiang Shaoyun's group. His gaze eventually landed on Xiang Shaoyun. "You're Xiang Shaoyun?"

Looking down at Xiang Shaoyun from high in the sky, He Yuan acted like a noble talking to a peasant. The incorporeal pressure he emanated was enough to cause any Saint to tremble with fear.

"Who do you think you are to be questioning the overlord like this?" said Green Ghost. He looked straight at He Yuan with his green eyes, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Audacious! You dare speak like that to our lord?" berated one of the Saints.

"I don't care who you are. Piss off, or things won't end well for you," said Green Ghost coldly. A terrifying phantom appeared around him, and a dreadful aura soared toward He Yuan's group. As a peak Great Saint, Green Ghost was nearly a pseudo-God. With his combat strength, he feared no pseudo-God.

"Members of a mere tier-7 organization dare to disrespect the Taiqing Sect? Very well. Let me teach you a lesson," said the Great Saint beside He Yuan.

But before the Great Saint could do anything, He Yuan stopped him. Looking at Green Ghost doubtfully, He Yuan asked, "Is this Green Ghost of the Ghostface Sect from the Bloodsin City?"

As a pseudo-God, He Yuan was naturally a knowledgeable person. He once stayed in the Bloodsin City for a period of time and had naturally heard of the mysterious Green Ghost of the Ghostface Sect.
