Although he long had expectations, Mei Zhen’s expression still changed and he said, “Can’t another person be swapped to do this thing? I-I at least have some strength. Staying behind to offer up a portion of strength is good as well!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The onerousness of your mission is still above defending the sect! The Tranquil Cloud Sect is just a small plot of land, while what the Fierce Gale World wants to invade is the entire Endless World. If the Northern Domain is ill-informed about the news and doesn’t know the Fierce Gale World’s ambition, the outcome will be too dreadful to contemplate. Hence . . . you have to make this trip no matter what!”
Mei Zhen’s expression flickered for a moment and said with Ye Yuan with clasped hands, “Mei Zhen definitely won’t fail the mission!”
Chapter 451

On a wide plain, human figures moved about.
Here was the Purple Mansion Sect’s forward position, specialized in being responsible for attacking the Tranquil Cloud Sect and two other sects.
Ma Yi was the commander of this team of martial artists. He was a First Level Soul Sea Realm powerhouse and also the Purple Mansion Sect’s grand elder.
At this time, the other two sects’ reports of success already came over. Only the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s side had no news.
Ma Yi’s brows were locked tightly at this time. Evidently, his mood was very bad.
The other two sects’ strength was much stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect. They were all fine. Only the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s side with the weakest strength seemed to have a problem.
The Purple Mansion Sect sent out three commanders in order to exterminate the six great sects and unit the Southern Domain under the Purple Mansion Sect’s rule.
The upper echelons of the six great sects were basically already under control. Attacking completely did not expend any effort.
The three commanders all had a rivaling relationship and were also seizing every minute and second to strive to take down three sects first.
But who knew that his side here just had to have a problem.
“Du Yushan that moron wouldn’t really be unable to even take care of a Tranquil Cloud Sect, right?” Ma Yu gnashed his teeth hatefully.
Right at this time, a disciple entered the tent and bowed to Ma Yi, and then he said, “Reporting to Grand Elder, news came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s side. Elder Du’s party were completely annihilated. The Tranquil Cloud Sect re-activated the sect protecting grand array and sealed off the sect!”
Ma Yi stood up at once. Grabbing that disciple’s collar, he said with a ferocious look. “What did you say? Du Yushan’s army was completely wiped out? Could it be that the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has Peak Sea Transformation or Soul Sea Realm experts?”
Du Yushan was a Seventh Level Sea Transformation powerhouse. Unless the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Eighth Level Sea Transformation and above existences, how could they possibly have wiped out Du Yushan’s army completely?
But that lousy place like the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not have many Sea Transformation Realm experts in total either. Now, they were basically all captured by the Purple Mansion Sect. How could the sect still have such a powerhouse existing inside?
That disciple was taken aback with fright and spluttered, “D-Disciple isn’t clear either. Two days ago, Disciple brought the scout team and went to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to investigate the news. The result was that we discovered that Elder Du they . . . they were all decapitated and then being hung outside the sect gates! O-Over ten Sea Transformation Realm elders were all decapitated, and their corpses were displayed in public view!”
Bang!
A blast of force flew by that disciple’s ear, pulverizing a stone table behind him into pieces.
“What. Did. You. Say?!” Ma Yi said word by word.
That disciple nearly peed himself and said with a tremble, “G-Grand Elder calm your anger.”
“Calm your *ss anger! Tranquil Cloud Sect! Hehe, excellent! Excellent! Decapitating as a public warning. Their guts are really plenty fat!” Ma Yi suddenly looked at that disciple and asked, “What other news is there?”
As he said, Ma Yi let go of that disciple’s collar and threw him out.
That disciple hurriedly crawled up and said, “The Tranquil Cloud Sect even erected a stone plaque in front of the sect gates. Written on it . . . Trespassers, kill without amnesty!”
“Heh heh, kill without amnesty? This Seat wants to see how you all kill with amnesty! Send the orders! The whole army is to decamp and set off for the Tranquil Cloud Sect!” Ma Yi said coldly.
The disciple felt as if being relieved of immense pressure and scurried off.
. . . . . .
In front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s mountain gates, Ma Yi looked at Du Yushan’s and the others’ heads grimly, as well as that stone plaque written using brush-pen in red ink.
“Come men. Go and retrieve their heads!” Ma Yi ordered.
A small team dashed out very quickly, wanting to collect back Du Yushan’s head.
Yet, when they had just crossed that stone plaque, several streaks of pale-yellow flowing light suddenly danced about.
“Ahh!”
“Argh!”
. . . . . .
Wretched screams echoed together.
These streams of light were very formidable, willfully harvesting the lives of that small team of martial artists.
In virtually a blink of an eye, the small team was completely wiped out.
Ma Yi’s face was incomparably somber. He knew that this was the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array activated.
With the power of the sect protecting grand array, killing these martial artists were too easy.
But Ma Yi had a faint feeling that the power of this grand array seemed to be extraordinary!
“Zhu Mingyu, you bring a few people to test out the power of that grand array. Remember, take care not to cross that stone plaque. Just feel out its power will do,” Ma Yi reminded him.
Zhu Mingyu was a general under him, a Peak Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. Sending him to probe out the power of the grand array was perfect.
If the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Sea Transformation Realm experts there, at the very most, it could also just maintain the grand array at the standard of Peak Sea Transformation Realm. Zhu Mingyu adding in a few other Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were sufficient to shake the grand array.
Zhu Mingyu obeyed the orders and marched out, bringing quite a few Sea Transformation Realm experts in front of the grand array.
“Everybody, don’t hold back! All execute your strongest attack! We’ll join hands to crack this grand array!” Zhu Mingyu said.
“Yes!”
Everyone cried out in unison and started to muster heaven and earth essence energy in full force.
In a moment, a terrifying aura creeped out in the air. The attack of a Peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was already extremely powerful, let alone multiple Late-Stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
The power of the combined attacks of these people was simply not what the average martial artist could withstand.
“Everybody listen to my command! Focus the attacks on one point of the grand array! Go!” Zhu Mingyu hollered.
Only to see that under his command, seven to eight immensely powerful attacks rumbled towards the grand array!
The coordination of these people was clearly highly tacit. The place that they attacked was not the slightest bit off, and the timing was also grasped very well; practically arriving at the same time!
Rumble!
A huge sound!
But the grand array did not budge an inch while Zhu Mingyu and the rest flew out backward!
“Puhwark!”
Several people vomited a mouthful of blood at the same time. They were actually wounded by the grand array’s backlash power!
“I heard that the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s grand array is called the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But this set of array formation is just a low-rank Tier 4 array formation. The Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn’t even have a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist right now. Why is the power of this sect protecting grand array so powerful?”
“Could it be that it must need Grand Elder to personally take action to be able to crack this grand array?”
Ma Yi’s expression was very ugly currently. Could it be that there was actually still a Soul Sea Realm expert hidden within the Tranquil Cloud Sect?
If that was really the case, then it was going to be troublesome!
But the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had Skymaple at the Soul Sea Realm all along. Luo Qingfeng just broke through not long ago. Apart from them, who else in the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be Soul Sea Realm?
Ma Yi racked his brains and could not figure it out either.
“Humph! Who cares what the hell you are. My Purple Mansion Sect’s grand momentum is already formed. Is it possible for a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect to still flip the heaven? I’ll give a try today, just what kind of power this lousy array formation has!”
Ma Yi leaped high into the air and arrived before the grand array!
Only to see him face his palm towards the sky, muttering verses from his mouth. Horrifying essence energy instantly converged around him!
This was the formidable aspect of Soul Sea Realm martial artists. Maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy with the might of the divine soul cooperating with the essence energy sea was simply effortless!
“Extreme Essence Heaven Axis Palm! Break for me!”
Ma Yi mustered 80% essence energy in one breath. An extremely dreadful attack flew towards the grand array!
Chapter 452

“Grand Elder is so strong! If I were the one receiving this move, even a hundred, a thousand of me would all die too!”
“Yeah. All are mortals below Soul Sea Realm. Grand Elder is on a completely different level from us!”
“Luckily, there’s Grand Elder here. Otherwise, we would be completely helpless against this grand array. Now that Grand Elder personally took action, this grand array will break for sure!”
“Tranquil Cloud Sect this bunch of trash actually became a retracted-head turtle! When we raid inside in a while, I’ll definitely pull their heads out from their turtle shell!”
. . . . . .
Ma Yi was well-deserving of being a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. This Extreme Essence Heaven Axis Palm move was exceedingly terrifying.
Just that mighty power was enough to make other martial artists feel fear.
A Soul Sea Realm martial artist’s attack could only be withstood by a Soul Sea Realm martial artist. This was general knowledge for martial artists.
Zhao Chenggan, that kind of talented prodigy, crossed realms to battle as easily as drinking water. But to let him fight with a Soul Sea Realm martial artist, it was still certain death.
Even the most ordinary Soul Sea Realm martial artist, their might was also not what Sea Transformation Realm martial artists could compare with.
Compared to the fleshy body, the divine soul was evidently closer to heaven and earth and nature.
Soul Sea Realm martial artists communicated with heaven and earth essence energy through the divine soul. The speed and quality mustered were far from comparable to Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
And it was precisely this sort of advantage combined together with even more powerful Tier 4 martial techniques, the power of Soul Sea Realm martial artists made practically all martial artists beneath Soul Sea Realm feel despair.
The Purple Mansion Sect disciples had blind faith in the Soul Sea Realm Ma Yi and thought that this attack could absolutely blast the grand array open.
Soul Sea Realm in the hearts of the Southern Domain sect disciples was actually around the same as the position of the Wind Emperor in the hearts of the Fierce Gale World martial artists.
Yet, the matter completely did not develop in the direction which the people hoped for in their hearts.
Just as Ma Yi’s palm force was about to reach the grand array, the grand array erupted once more!
All of a sudden, dozens of flowing light streams came out from the grand array, dashing for Ma Yi’s palm force.
Ma Yi’s face carried a confident smile when he struck out the palm. But at this time, his expression changed drastically.
Those dozens of flowing light streams eradicated his palm force like crushing dead leaves!
But it was not over yet. After those flowing lights obliterated Ma Yi’s palm force, it actually came chasing after Ma Yi.
Ma Yi did not think that such a change would actually occur and his expression changed dramatically!
To be able to instantly obliterate his 80% essence energy attack, the might of this grand array was absolutely not what he could withstand!
No time left to think. Under everyone’s eyes, Ma Yi turned around and ran.
Yet, the speed of the flowing lights was exceptionally swift. Ma Yi just ran out not for long, and the flowing lights caught up to him.
Boom!
A huge sound rang out. Under the Purple Mansion Sect’s stupefied gazes, a silhouette dropped down from the air powerlessly.
Slam!
Ma Yi’s corpse slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Everyone had blank faces, and there was actually no one who reached out to receive it!
All the way until that mass of dust gradually dissipated did everyone finally woke up abruptly.
“W-What happened?”
“D-Don’t know! W-What’s with Grand Elder? Can’t have . . .”
“Pooh! Grand Elder is a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. How can he be killed so easily by the grand array? H-He must have fainted!”
At this time, Zhu Mingyu walked out from the crowd.
He was blasted until severely wounded by the grand array’s backlash strength. At this time, he still held his chest, his steps somewhat wobbly.
Zhu Mingyu’s face was solemn, his brows tightly knitted. It was also uncertain if it was due to injuries or because of Ma Yi.
Zhu Mingyu came close, and his figure involuntarily came to a stop.
“G-Grand Elder he . . . passed away!”
Zhu Mingyu himself did not know how he said those words. He felt that his brain was a little lacking.
Ma Yi already had no vital signs. He was clearly totally dead already.
In front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s gates, it was deathly quiet. There were only the whimpering sounds of gusts of breeze.
A Soul Sea Realm powerhouse of his generation was actually garrotted by the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s sect protecting grand array!
In the entire Southern Domain, how many years had it been since a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse die?
Zhu Mingyu and the other Purple Mansion Sect disciples were unable to accept this outcome.
But Ma Yi’s corpse repeatedly told them that this was a truth!
. . . . . .
In the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s grand array axis, all the disciples were covered from head to toe in sweat, appearing rather worn out. But the expression on their faces showed that they were very excited, It was as if they were injected with stimulants.
Everyone’s faces were flushed red. Looking at that figure in front, their eyes revealed fervent idolizing looks.
They all clearly wanted to speak, but they desperately suppressed their impulse, for fear that they would startle Ye Yuan who was currently directing the grand array.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan turned around slowly and said coolly, “The Purple Mansion Sect has already retreated. This battle, we’ve won!”
“Woo!!”
Th
ese Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples immediately erupted with thunderous laughter!
Ever since Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng were detained, there had never been such cheering and laughter in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
This battle was too satisfactory to the heart’s content!
“Long live Ye Yuan!”
“Long live Ye Yuan!”
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan laughed too. He knew that these fellow sect members have been holding back for too long and very much needed a victory to release their emotions.
Ye Yuan killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse with the aid of the grand array’s power. This was a victory with an extraordinary meaning!
For a moment, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was seething!
“This feeling is too great! What did we do? We actually slew a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!”
“Hahaha! To be able to kill a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, this lifetime is also enough! In the future, even if it’s to die for the sect, I’ll also die without regrets!”
“Hey! Did you know? That was a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse! Soul Sea Realm powerhouse! I actually killed a Soul Sea Realm! Hahaha!”
“Haha! Next time, I’m going to tell my son that his old man once killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!”
“So f*cking satisfying! I even thought that Ye Yuan activating the sect protecting grand array was just to huddle like a turtle and defend. Who knew that he would actually take the initiative to attack? A single attack and he killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!”
These Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples all seemed to be in a state of madness, releasing their emotions to their heart’s content.
These few days, Ye Yuan underwent a complete remake of the Yin-yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. Not only did he restore that missing portion of the grand array, he even connected several hundred miniature array formations at the grand array’s central.
These hundreds of miniature array formations were presided by several hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Ye Yuan could draw out these several hundred peoples’ essence energy through the array’s pivot, and provide a steady stream of support for the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.
