Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 326: Chapter 66: Assigned in Crisis, Cyan Wood Dragon Locking_3

The palm wind howled, the fierce wind swirling wildly, as if there was no holding back in the slightest.

"This is not good."

Cries of alarm arose from all directions.

None of the disciples expected that Sect Leader Sun Yun would, without a word of disagreement, directly raise his palm to smash a skull, intending to fracture the head and entrust his legacy.

This was utterly shocking.

His ability was so high and his movements so swift.

As the palm descended, no one even had time to react.

Even if they had reacted, they couldn’t have stopped it.

"Pop..."

Just as the palm mark reached three inches above the head, a hand, shimmering with dark golden patterns, appeared out of nowhere.

The dominant palm force, like a heavy hammer descending, fell onto that hand as if a goose feather landed on water, merely causing slight ripples.

The powerful Qi dispersed like a gentle breeze brushing past.

Chen Ping sighed and said, "Master Ancestor, why go to such lengths?"

He saw that his master, Sima Rou, was nearly frantic, her face flushed red...

She just started to rush forward, but her speed wasn’t fast enough, almost bursting into tears. At this moment, she was clutching her chest, panting heavily, evidently frightened.

Not only her, but all the disciples below also exhaled a long sigh.

This old man was always on the verge of suicide on the spot, and actually meant it, who could endure that.

As Sun Yun’s palm descended, he had already gathered a lifetime of power into it, his palm causing Qi and blood to surge, ready to close his eyes and await death.

As his hand fell halfway, he found that there seemed to be a mountain blocking it. Heavy and vast, his palm force landed on it like a gentle breeze and drizzle on a mountain, unable to shake it at all.

Instead of being alarmed, he was pleased in his heart.

Such great power, such cultivation, it was as if the Grandmaster were present.

He’d heard that Chen Ping wasn’t even of age yet, and at such a young age, already so strong, as the days go by, how remarkable would his achievements be in future.

With such a disciple in Primordial Sect, revival would be just around the corner.

Pity earlier his eyes were like being covered by a peanut-sized speck of eye debris, his heart as small as a needle point. How could this grand-disciple care for the likes of Primordial Sect’s small foundations?

With his cultivation and combat power, he could dominate wherever he went...

I didn’t think to draw him into the sect, but rather distanced myself, truly confused.

For a moment, regret, guilt, and sorrow surged in his heart, recalling the scene in front of Ancestor Master Cave, feeling almost ashamed.

He no longer pressed down with force, but instead said in a deep voice, "All disciples, why haven’t you saluted the new Sect Leader."

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

This time, the disciples did not hesitate.

As Sun Yun bowed first, kneeling, Yu Zhixian, Deng Yuantong, Fang Shen and others, along with the four or five dozen young disciples behind, all followed suit.

The tone in their voices was more joyful than astonished.

Clearly, besides these elders and master’s uncles, the other young disciples had admired Chen Ping’s powerful martial arts for a long time, but considering their low status, dared not speak out.

Thinking at this moment, having such a grandmaster who could kill the Earth List’s top and intimidate the one who harmed the Grandmaster Granny and killed Third Elder Cui Shihong to not act against the rules, take on the role of Sect Leader, made their hearts involuntarily calm down.

The earlier feeling of distress and helplessness vanished more than half in an instant.

"Alright, for now, I will take care of matters temporarily, the matters of the Sect Leader can wait.

Let’s first check the Ancestor Master Cave, who dared to make a move against my Primordial Sect, this vendetta must be avenged to ease my heart."

Chen Ping waved his hand, shaking his head, believing that not accepting the role of Sect Leader was not an option.

It seemed that he had the support of many.

Primordial Sect evidently could not withstand any more blows.

At the moment, under the crowd’s escort, they headed into the Ancestor Master Cave in a rush.

"The culprits climbed the mountain from here, they must have been lurking for more than a day. After the Grandmaster Granny’s life force was exhausted, she was mostly in a stupor, unable to manage affairs.

According to the disciples delivering food, she aged rapidly in recent days, so she summoned the disciples to pass on the Cultivation Technique and entrust her legacy."

Elder Yu Zhixian, previously in the conflict with the Seven Stars Meridian, fought especially hard, and was also the most seriously injured.

When Chen Ping first ascended the mountain, this elder was in a coma all along, not demonstrating any cultivation or insight.

At this moment, his form fluctuated, his body shimmering with golden light, reenacting where and how the culprits lurked, what techniques were used, as if the scene were playing out once more.

"It is the Cyan Wood Longevity Skill, Junior Cui hardly posed a significant threat, unable to assist the Grandmaster Granny, even being torn to pieces by the residual waves of two Grandmasters’ battle in the final strike."

Sorrow filled Yu Zhixian’s eyes.

He glanced at the scattered corpse fragments around, then squatted before a pile of Jade Powder, unable to stop tears from falling like rain.

"Cyan Wood Longevity Skill, Jiang Family’s Jiang Wuji?"

A glimmer of hatred crossed Sima Rou’s face, followed by a sense of realization.

Qingzhou Prefecture had long been occupied by the East Royal Lord Jiang Yuanhao, with the Primordial Sect falling under this faction’s control, typically having no contact, yet still somewhat familiar with the East Wood Army’s experts.

Although the Jiang Family was not listed among the Six Northern and Seventy-Three Southern Noble Families, nor produced notable high officials, the family originated from the Eastern Changhai County, and through fate acquired a set of Cyan Wood Longevity Skills, even producing a Qi cultivation genius, Jiang Wuji.

This person’s talent was extraordinary, with powerful martial arts, and was also highly prolific in offspring and nurturing.

From his generation onwards, the Jiang family began to flourish.

Especially as his eldest son, Jiang Yuanhao, showed martial prowess even surpassing his father’s generation, it became unstoppable.

As the Great Li Dynasty acted against the tide and rebellions arose in all directions, Jiang Yuanhao immediately summoned the East Sea Bandits, killing officials and rebelling. Within mere months, he captured two prefectures, claiming the title East Celestial King.
