Chapter 741: Chapter 300: Betrayal, Old Friends, Hidden Secrets (Ten-Thousand-Word Combo Chapter)

At this moment, a Yinan Tribe guard respectfully saluted Chief Celestial Woe:

"Greetings, Master."

"Hmm, lead the way, quickly to the Inner City."

The seven figures of Chief Celestial Woe vanished, following behind the guard like a gust of wind. The guard was obviously a bit nervous, his face slightly pale under the night sky, and his steps seemed somewhat frantic.

The passage across the Inner City River was smooth.

At the North Gate, the guard cupped his hands and retreated.

At this moment, the Array Light Curtain of the North Gate rippled, and an opening appeared.

Excitement flashed in Chief Celestial Woe’s eyes; once inside the Inner Sect, they would have more than half succeeded:

"Go!"

Chief Celestial Woe quickly entered.

Once inside the Inner City, he quickly made gestures:

"Let’s go to the Array Hall first."

As long as they could seize control of the Mountain Protection Array, victory would be assured!

However, the Grand Elder following behind him felt everything was going too smoothly; from the Outer City to the Inner City, they hadn’t faced any obstruction. He felt a vague unease and whispered:

"Chieftain, just in case, let’s advance cautiously in formation."

Chief Celestial Woe frowned, about to say something.

Suddenly.

Boom!

Brilliant beams of light shot into the sky, turning the originally pitch-black night into day. The light was piercing, like countless swords piercing the clouds.

At the same time.

A Heaven-Opening Axe descended upon the unsuspecting Chief Celestial Woe with lightning speed. The power of the axe was no less than a full-strength strike from a Fake Core Cultivator. The blade emitted a chilling light, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Boom!!

Chief Celestial Woe quickly summoned a Tier Three Image Talisman.

The moment the Talisman appeared, it emitted a gentle glow, with the runes shimmering with mysterious power. However, before the Talisman could be activated, the Heaven-Opening Axe was already at his forehead, and he flashed to evade.

At this moment, from underground, several Profound Celestial Ropes flew up, swiftly binding his waist, rendering him immobile, and instantly sealing his Mana:

"Grand Elder, save me!!"

Chief Celestial Woe had no idea which step had gone wrong, being counterattacked by the Yinan Tribe.

The Grand Elder’s expression changed as he soared into the sky.

He shouted, and the Heaven-Churning Ruler flew out with a roar, instantly enlarging to tens of feet long, speeding towards the Heaven-Opening Axe to block the fatal blow for Chief Celestial Woe. The Ruler emanated powerful Mana fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Suddenly.

A sharp pain surged through his body.

Looking down, he saw the Fifth Elder, standing close by, with a ferocious expression, thrusting a large blade through his Dantian, piercing a huge hole in his abdomen:

"Elder Five, you..."

The Grand Elder’s voice was filled with disbelief and pain.

The Fifth Elder was a native of the Celestial Woe Tribe.

Years ago, to help the Fifth Elder break through to the Purple Mansion, the Grand Elder risked his life to enter the Blood-colored Forbidden Area. Over two hundred years of companionship, the Fifth Elder always followed his lead, their bond like father and son, though unrelated by blood:

"How could it be....."

How could it be like this!

With a thud, the Grand Elder fell to the ground, dead with eyes wide open.

Boom! At the same time, the Heaven-Opening Axe cleaved Chief Celestial Woe in two. Blood splattered, staining the ground red.

In an instant, the Celestial Woe Tribe faced two deaths and one betrayal.

Of the original seven Purple Mansion, only four remained, and the most powerful, the Grand Elder and the Chieftain, were dead.

The Third Elder’s pupils contracted; before the others could react, he waved his sleeve, enveloped Chief Celestial Woe’s storage bag, and without hesitation, immediately activated the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman.

Upon seeing the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, the Fifth Elder stepped back repeatedly, loudly saying, "This is a Tier Four Array-Breaking Talisman; it must not be activated."

However, it was already too late.

For a Purple Mansion Cultivator, activating a Talisman was a matter of moments. The Forbidden-Breaking Talisman emitted a dazzling four-colored Spirit Light.

In the next instant, boom!

An enormous explosion force instantly tore apart the Defense Array Light Shield covering the entire city. The blast impact surged like a raging tide, sweeping in all directions. With bangs, one Array Flag after another shattered, scattering fragments everywhere.

Moreover, the moment the Third Elder activated the Tier Four Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, his electric gaze landed on the nearby Fifth Elder, his lips moving as a piercing sound streaked through the sky, aiming straight for the Fifth Elder’s forehead.

"Damn it!"

It was the Soul-Devouring Drill!!

This Tier Four Dharma Treasure, hadn’t the Third Elder said it was destroyed in the Blood-colored Forbidden Area? How could it appear here?

The Fifth Elder retreated repeatedly, but his speed was insignificant compared to the Dharma Treasure. In an instant, the Soul-Devouring Drill reached his forehead, and in haste, he quickly summoned the Celestial Spirit Shield to block before him.

Boom! The Celestial Spirit Shield shattered, scattering into countless pieces on the ground.

The Soul-Devouring Drill instantly penetrated his forehead.

"No, no, no!" The Fifth Elder’s triumphant smile turned into sheer terror.

However, in the face of this Tier Four Dharma Treasure, especially aimed at the Divine Soul, he had no power to resist, and with a thud, his body fell straight down.

The whole process, seemingly slow, happened in the blink of an eye.

"Form the Array!"

The Third Elder called out.

The remaining three instantly gained confidence and quickly converged towards him.
