Chapter 73: Yang Qiu, the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Demon Sect!

With a thunderous roar, the old man hadn't even approached the Sect Master's hall when he was forcefully sent flying backward at an even faster speed.

"Puff!"

In mid-air, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood.

The authority of a Saint was not to be desecrated.

Although Yang Qiu had not yet reached the realm of a Saint, he had already stepped into the realm's gateway, possessing the aura of a Saint.

In this situation, unless a true Saint intervened, his breakthrough was almost unstoppable!

"It's the aura of the Nine Nether Demon Sect. This person is from the Nine Nether Demon Sect!" The old man exclaimed with a sense of despair.

While he didn't recognize Yang Qiu, he could identify the distinctive energy of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's cultivation technique.

After all, the Nine Nether Demon Sect was a force at the Holy Land-level and their reputation commanded respect.

"The audacity of the Nine Nether Demon Sect! How dare they secretly infiltrate the Tian Gang Sect!" Another elder stepped forward, his hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot, ready to devour anyone in his path.

If he could break through, he would have swallowed Yang Qiu whole.

It was simply too insidious.

This demonic cultivator managed to circumvent the mountain-protecting formation and infiltrate the sect without detection.

If that alone wasn't enough, he chose to become a Saint in their Tian Gang Sect!

For tens of thousands of years, the Tian Gang Sect had never suffered such humiliation.

"All disciples, form a defensive formation! Follow me to rescue the Sect Master!" The old man soared into the sky once again.

Standing in mid-air, his hair fluttered, and his robe billowed.

His unblinking eyes stared at the illusory figure of Yang Qiu, emanating a terrifying murderous intent.

"This demonic person is about to become a Saint. Before that happens, we must try our best to save the Sect Master. After all, the Sect Master is the most likely to become a Saint within the Tian Gang Sect. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come? What if the Radiant Light Holy Land sends another Heaven and Earth Transmutation Pill?" The old man didn't consider the danger to the Sect Master's life because the Sect Master's soul jade was intact, ensuring his safety.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless streaks of light shot into the sky.

Standing behind the old man, they formed a massive formation.

Though these disciples might not be individually powerful, their combined efforts could barely contend with a Holy Lord-level figure for a few moves.

Against a Saint, they were defenseless.

In the formation, many disciples wielded long swords, exchanging nervous glances, seeing the panic in each other's eyes.

Even a fool could tell that something was amiss at this moment.

It seemed like the one ascending to Saint realm was not their own Sect Master but rather a demonic Saint.

At a time like this, their first thought wasn't to resist but to run.

Unfortunately, fleeing was not an option because this was their Tian Gang Sect's main gate.

If everyone ran away, what would happen to the Tian Gang Sect?

"Kill!" The old man shouted.

Once again, he transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the sky.

A long sword appeared in his hand, and countless sword lights danced, weaving into a dense curtain of rain.

Sweeping towards the Sect Master's hall, the force was overwhelming.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In the rear, nearly ten thousand disciples roared in unison, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

The great formation they formed began to rumble, advancing forward to crush everything in its path.

"Hum!"

At this moment, in the sky, the majestic figure suddenly opened its eyes. Pupils as black as the void exuded a demonic aura, resembling a cosmic black hole, incredibly ominous.

The instant Yang Qiu opened his eyes, the Saint's aura reached its peak.

Simultaneously, the faces of countless people turned ashen, and many disciples couldn't endure it.

They dropped directly from the sky, unable to withstand the pressure.

"You dare to strike against this Saint, you have quite the audacity," a cold voice resounded.

In the Sect Master's hall, Yang Qiu slowly stood up, clad in a black robe that stirred without wind.

The surrounding black demonic energy reached an unprecedented density.

A gushing sound, like flowing water, echoed as the demonic energy wildly spread in all directions.

Soon, the entire Tian Gang Sect was enveloped, transforming from daylight into pitch darkness, hands becoming invisible.

The bone-chilling demonic aura infiltrated everyone's marrow.

At this moment, not only resisting but even standing became extremely difficult for everyone.

"Who are you?" The Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect, with a hoarse voice, sternly asked.

"I am Yang Qiu, the current Sect Master of the Nine Nether Demon Sect!" Yang Qiu said in a deep voice.

He had initially intended to claim to be an elder, but then he realized that since he seemed to have become a Saint, returning to the sect might allow him to seize the position of Sect Master.

So, calling himself the Sect Master now seemed fitting. Consider it a preview of the role.

"Impossible!" As Yang Qiu's voice fell, a heavy voice sounded.

A Tian Gang Sect elder said loudly, "The Sect Master of the Nine Nether Demon Sect is Huang Quan. Do you think that impersonating someone else can avoid retribution? Let me tell you, I have already informed the Radiant Light Holy Land. Today, you'll find it impossible to escape!"

Just as he finished speaking, Yang Qiu slapped him with a resounding "peng," turning the speaker into a mist of blood.

"Noisy! In the past, the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Demon Sect may have been Huang Quan, but starting today, the Sect Master has changed to me, Yang Qiu!"

Yang Qiu paused for a moment, lowered his head, looked at the Sect Master of the Tian Gang Sect, and said in a frigid tone, "Pass on a message to the Radiant Light Holy Land for me. From today onward, if anyone opposes the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, they are opposing the Nine Nether Demon Sect. If my displeasure is provoked, I will destroy the Radiant Light Holy Land!"

These words were domineering, intimidating all the disciples of the Tian Gang Sect.
