Chapter 705: Chapter 704 The Great Battle Begins
The third elder of the Mang Jiao Clan was now filled with grief and rage, clenching his teeth as he said, "Clan Leader, it’s all my fault, I failed to protect him. Today, I accompanied the Saint Heir to the Ancient Sky Mine City to seek treasures. Unexpectedly, the fourth elder of the Yuanchu Sect made his move directly, he took advantage of my distraction to launch a fatal attack on the Saint Heir. His target was the Saint Heir from the beginning!"
"Otherwise, with the Clan Leader’s consciousness to protect him, how would the Saint Heir have died."
"The opponent must have been prepared in advance for this."
The Origin Beginning Holy Son suddenly roared in anger, "Don’t spout nonsense, it was clearly you who struck first."
He was utterly furious at that moment, it was clearly them who initiated the attack, and now they were trying to pin the blame on them.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it; the Mangjiao Sacred Son had just died, despite being protected by a Quasi-Emperor consciousness, which simply indicated that they had come prepared.
Otherwise, it would have truly been impossible for someone at a high level of the Saint Realm to break through the Quasi-Emperor consciousness.
Moreover, at this time, the Mang Jiao Clan Leader had already lost his reason. If he knew they were here, he would certainly not let them off.
"Heh, since you killed my son, now it’s your turn to pay with your life."
The Mang Jiao Clan Leader took action immediately, extending his dragon claw towards the Origin Beginning Holy Son.
"You dare!"
The fourth elder of the Yuanchu Sect exploded with rage, his long sword transforming into Sword Qi.
"You think I don’t dare?"
The Mang Jiao Clan Leader roared furiously.
At almost the same moment, the third elder of the Mang Jiao Clan also made his move, swiftly blocking the Sword Qi from the fourth elder of the Yuanchu Sect.
Without the fourth elder’s interference, the Mang Jiao Clan Leader’s attack instantly overwhelmed the Origin Beginning Holy Son.
Boom rumble.
Immense energy burst forth, shaking the Ancient Sky Mine City as if a major earthquake had occurred.
The people nearby could hardly stand their ground.
They were completely unable to resist.
No matter how many secret techniques or treasures they had, none could withstand the furious assault of the Mang Jiao Clan Leader—all were destroyed in an instant.
In the end, only a divine soul remained, along with a terrifying aura within it.
"Stop!"
That aura belonged to the Yuanchu Sect Master.
At this moment, he was furiously enraged; this was the Northern Territory, his domain. Someone dared to kill his Saint Heir here?
Seeing the Saint Heir’s physical body also ruined further fueled his anger.
"Get out of my way!"
The Mang Jiao Clan Leader snorted coldly, then unleashed a barrage of attacks at the Yuanchu Sect Master.
At this time, no one dared to speak out, the people of Ancient Sky Mine City fled en masse.
They couldn’t come near such high-level combat.
At the same moment, at the Yuanchu Sect, the Sect Master Meng Ran opened his eyes, his expression dark: "Someone dared to make a move on my disciple!"
The next second he disappeared from his spot.
Meanwhile, at the Mang Jiao Clan, the situation was the same, the Mang Jiao Clan Leader vanished in an instant.
...
The battle raged on. The entire Ancient Sky Mine City was now in chaos, countless cultivators died as a result of the battle’s aftermath.
"Mang Jiao, you want to kill my disciple? What are you trying to do!" the Yuanchu Sect Master thundered.
"Heh, what am I trying to do? You can kill my son, but I can’t kill your disciple?"
"Today, you killed my son. If I don’t take revenge, then I don’t deserve to be his father."
The Mang Jiao Clan Leader was furious by this point.
You killed my son, and now you’re asking me what I’m trying to do?
When did you all become so shameless?
"Is this true?"
The Origin Sect Master was also troubled now, as he asked the soul of the Origin Beginning Holy Son.
"This is true, the third elder attacked us, and the fourth elder accidentally killed their Sacred Son."
The Origin Beginning Holy Son replied.
At this moment, the Origin Sect Master was really exasperated; now that the Mangjiao Sacred Son was dead here, the Mang Jiao Clan would certainly not let this go.
He could imagine what would happen next.
A great battle might ensue between both parties.
Boom!
The dreadful battle continued, and soon after, both the true body of the Origin Sect Master and the Mang Jiao Clan Leader arrived.
The consciousness merged into the true body immediately.
"Origin Sect Master, hand over the Origin Beginning Holy Son and the murderer of my son, and I might spare your sect,"
the Mang Jiao Clan Leader said coldly, his killing intent already skyrocketing.
The Origin Sect Master refused without hesitation.
"That’s impossible."
The death of a Mangjiao Sacred Son and they expect a high-ranking Saint Realm and a Saint Heir to accompany in death.
That simply wouldn’t do, not even if it were just one of them, the Origin Sect Master would not agree.
Whether it was his disciple or their fourth elder, these were people he could not give up.
If the Origin Beginning Holy Son died, then their younger generation would lack a strong leader.
And it would cause chaos within the Origin Sect over this matter.
The fourth elder was crucial too; a high-ranking Saint Realm was a top fighter in any force, and his death would significantly weaken the Origin Sect.
"Mang Jiao, this might just be an accident; I believe the fourth elder didn’t do it on purpose," the Origin Sect Master said with furrowed brows.
"How dare you say that, Origin Sect Master. I will remember this incident. From today onwards, the Mang Jiao Clan and your sect will be mortal enemies. Wait for our wrath,"
the Mang Jiao Clan Leader did not strike here directly. This was the Northern Territory, the stronghold of the Origin Sect. If he attacked here, the powerful members of the Origin Sect could arrive at any moment, so he needed to plan thoroughly on how to deal with the Origin Sect.
"What exactly happened?"
After the Mang Jiao Clan Leader left, the Origin Sect Master, seething with anger, quickly asked the fourth elder.
The situation had become troublesome now.
They had originally thought that with the Demon God Temple’s people cleaning up the Mang Jiao Clan, they just needed to keep a low profile.
But now, before the Demon God Temple had even made a move, they had become the target of the Mang Jiao Clan.
He was convinced that the Mang Jiao Clan would definitely take action, and that would be the time for a great battle between the two sides.
"Sect Master, I didn’t know about this either. The third elder of the Mang Jiao Clan was the one who struck at me first, and I was merely defending. However, who would have known that while I struck back, the Mangjiao Sacred Son was standing right in front of me, and that old fellow didn’t have any intention to protect him,"
the fourth elder explained.
Hearing this, the Origin Sect Master came to an understanding.
In simple terms, the Mangjiao Sacred Son was killed by mistake.
"With the protection of the Mang Jiao Clan Leader, the Mangjiao Sacred Son shouldn’t have been killed. Who then was interfering?"
The complexion of the Origin Sect Master darkened.
If it were an accident, the Mangjiao Sacred Son wouldn’t have died, especially with the Clan Leader’s consciousness protecting him.
But now, the Mang Jiao Clan Leader’s consciousness had failed to protect him, and the Mangjiao Sacred Son was eradicated.
If the Mangjiao Sacred Son hadn’t died, there might have been room for negotiation.
But now that he was dead, there was no going back.
"Not too sure!"
The fourth elder of Yuanchu Sect shook his head.
The Origin Sect Master’s expression kept changing, and then he could only give a wry smile.
"Forget it, there’s nothing else we can do. Everyone, come back with me; we need to figure out how to deal with the Mang Jiao Clan."
For now, that was all they could do; they would consider other matters later.
