War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 2160 - Fear!

Chapter 2160 Fear!

The Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was a middle-aged man with a st.u.r.dy body. He was dressed in a long white robe that was embroidered with red flames. It looked slightly similar to the exclusive uniforms of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s elders and disciples. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice the flames embroidered seemed to form a divine dragon. It seemed as though the dragon was protecting his body!

Although the Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was tall, had a st.u.r.dy body, and his features were chiseled, he did not look like a brute. Whether it was his figure or face, everything seemed to be in harmony. His features were n.o.ble, it made people feel like submitting to him.

“It seems like I’ve caused quite a commotion… Even our three Guardians and Hall Master Leng are here.” The Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect smiled faintly and bowed slightly as he spoke. At this moment, an overwhelming but faint energy swept toward the people who were bowing at him. However, it did not harm them. When the energy shrouded them, it was gentle. It slowly lifted them with a gentle but firm force.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

“Is this the strength of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

“Congratulations, Lord Sect Leader, for breaking through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Celestial Ascension Form!”

In the end, the Three Great Guardians, Zi Feng, Qing Xuan, and Hong Yun, regained their senses first. They instantly congratulated the Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.

The voices of the three Guardians snapped the Leng Yin and others out of their shock.

“Congratulations, Lord Sect Leader!”

Leng Yin and the others instantly congratulated the Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect as well.

The Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was Tang Xuan. He was already the strongest person in Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect back when his cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was also the strongest person among all those below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land! Previously, he was ranked fourth on the Supreme Saint Ranking! The ones before him were three cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Today, after being in closed-door cultivation for so long, Tang Xuan came out stronger than before after breaking through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Celestial Ascension Form! He had officially become a peerless powerhouse in the Dao Martial Saint Land!

Tang Xuan nodded at the high-ranking officials of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect with a smile before he asked, “Did anything happen while I was in closed-door cultivation?”

“Lord Sect Leader!” As soon as Tang Xuan finished his sentence, one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall took the lead and said solemnly. “The Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Girl who was missing back then has returned to the sect…”

The Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall who had spoken was Vice Hall Master Jiang Qin who had sent Ke’er and her daughter into the Enforcement Hall back then.

The Saint Girl who was missing?” Upon hearing Jiang Qin’s statement, Tang Xuan was stunned before a delighted expression appeared on his face. He asked excitedly, “Is this true?!”

The way Tang Xuan had lost his composure and became excited shocked Jiang Qin. It took him quite a while to recover from his shock.

The Three Great Guardians of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect and the others were shocked as well when they saw Tang Xuan’s reaction. They did not know why their Sect Leader was so excited over the return of the Saint Girl!

For a moment, they all recalled that after the disappearance of the Saint Girl, the appointment of a new Saint Girl had been continuously delayed! Now that they thought about it, it seemed like the Sect Leader had no intention of appointing a new Saint Girl at all.

Does Lord Sect Leader think the Saint Girl is special due to her violet Innate Spiritual Root?’

Is the Saint Girl a reincarnated G.o.ddess?’

All of them began to speculate wildly in their minds. Naturally, none of them really believed she was the reincarnation of a G.o.ddess. They thought it was made up.

Hall Master Leng Yin of the Enforcement Hall recovered from his shock first and nodded in response. “It’s true.” He hesitated for a moment before he said, “However, during the time the Saint Girl was missing, she had acted against the rules of our Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect… Not only does she have a husband, but she has given birth to a daughter. Both the Saint Girl and her daughter are…”

When Leng Yin was about to say the Saint Girl and her daughter were currently being held in the Enforcement Hall, he was interrupted by Tang Xuan fiercely before he could even finish his sentence.

“What? The Saint Girl has a husband? And she has a daughter with that man?!” Tang Xuan’s voice became louder and louder as he spoke. He sounded extremely furious. As his anger rose, the domineering and peerless aura appeared again and swept through the sect.

This time, even some of the Golden Flame Elders whose cultivation bases were weaker felt the pressure.

On the Saint Island under the clouds, the Saint Land elite disciples who had just sighed in relief felt an even more terrifying aura. They began to feel suffocated. Some with weaker cultivation bases even began to bleed through their eyes and noses. They were forced to sit, kneel, or lie down on the ground.

“What’s happening?”

“The aura released unintentionally by a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is already so terrifying…How ho汀ifying would it be if a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage releases all his power?”

“A powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is too frightening! I have no doubt about them being the strongest in the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

On the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Land, many Silver Flame Elders, Bronze Flame Elders, and true disciples were shocked.

After several breaths’ time, the domineering and almost peerless aura vanished again, causing the elders and disciples in Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Land to sigh in relief. The elite disciples with a weaker cultivation base, in particular, felt even more relieved. It was as though they had just narrowly escaped death.

Above Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Land, high up in the clouds…

TangXuan’s eyes were piercing as he looked at Leng Yin. He asked coldly, “Tell me what the h.e.l.l happened?!”

“Lord Sect Leader, the Saint Girl went missing when she was still a baby… When Guardian Qing Huo’s direct disciple, Gan Ru Yan, found her, she already has a husband and was pregnant,” Leng Yin said when faced with the furious Tang Xuan, “Initially, when Gan Ru Yan brought the Saint Girl back to the sect, she didn’t tell anyone, including Guardian Qing Huo. She hid the Saint Girl in her independent mansion… Moreover, she allowed the Saint Girl to give birth to her baby. After a few years, Vice Hall Master Jiang Qin discovered the Saint Girl had returned to the sect thanks to Wen Yan, the direct disciple of Sanctum Leader Lu Tie of the Azure Dragon Sanctum… Subsequently, Jiang Qin brought the Saint Girl and her daughter back to the Enforcement Hall to await judgment once Lord Sect Leader comes out from closed-door cultivation.”

Any other ordinary person would have been afraid to speak up in front of a furious Tang Xuan. However, Hall Master Leng Yin of the Enforcement Hall managed to recount everything calmly.

After Tang Xuan listened to Leng Yin, he turned to look at Qing Huo and asked, “Guardian Qing Huo, Ru Yan’s the one who found the Saint Girl?” At this moment, his voice was calm. It was unknown whether it was due to Qing Huo’s high position in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect as a Guardian or if his anger had lessened.

“Yes.” Qing Huo nodded. “That girl discovered the Saint Girl in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land… I know she made a mistake! She actually kept the matter to herself, hid the Saint Girl, and allowed the Saint Girl to give birth. Sect Leader, I’ve ordered her to be imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall. No matter how you plan to punish her, I won’t have any objection.” He sighed when he finished speaking. It seemed as though he had aged a couple of years in just an instant.

“Ru Yan is the Saint Girl’s twin sister after all. It’s normal for her to protect the Saint Girl… You don’t have to worry, Guardian Qing Huo.” Tang Xuan shook his head, and then, his eyes turned cold as he asked angrily. “Now, I just want to know who’s the Saint Girl’s husband! Who’s so bold to taint our Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Saint Girl?” His voice trembled when he spoke.

When the others heard the tremble in Tang Xuan’s voice, they thought it was from anger. However, Tang Xuan’s voice was actually trembling from fear.

Why would Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, feel fear when he learned that the Saint Girl had a husband and had given birth to a child?

All of this went unnoticed by the others. If they noticed it, they would have been confused and shocked.

“Lord Sect Leader,” Leng Yin said again at this moment, “We did ask the Saint Girl who her husband is, but she’s unwilling to tell us. We’re reluctant to use force on her without your consent.”

After Tang Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed his fear, he nodded and said. “You did well. Since Ru Yan found the Saint Girl in the Lower Province, it’s likely the man’s from the Lower Province as well! If the Saint Girl’s unwilling to talk, we’ll dig for information about that man from Ru Yan.”

Tang Xuan’s voice was laced with anxiety and fear. Indeed, it was fear!

It was unknown what secrets the Saint Girl held to be able to strike fear into the heart of the Sect Leader of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect who had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

“Hall Master Leng, bring me to see Ru Yan now… Once I find out who the man is, I’ll personally go to the Lower Province to bring that man here!”

Tang Xuan’s words shocked all the high-ranking officials of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect to their cores.

Their Sect Leader was going to personally make a move?!
