Chapter 578 The Grand Elder's Wrath
"Boom—"
With a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the heavy stone gate of Tianzhu Peak, which had been sealed for decades, shattered under an irresistible and immense force.
A figure enveloped in endless divine light, radiating a terrifying aura akin to divine might, slowly stepped out of the deep cave.
He is Zhang Tianyun, the Grand Elder of the Qinglan Sect who has just entered the Sendai Realm!
At this moment, Zhang Tianyun's originally aged face had returned to that of a middle-aged man, and the faint phantom of stars appearing and disappearing flickered in his eyes.
Every move he made seemed to resonate with the laws of this world. The powerful feeling of controlling everything and being the only one of his kind made him want to roar to the sky.
"Decades of solitude have finally led to my ascension! Hahaha! I am now considered one of the pinnacle beings in this world!"
Zhang Tianyun felt the terrifying power within his body, which was more than ten times stronger than that of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and his heart was filled with wild joy and unparalleled pride.
He was not only happy about his breakthrough in strength, but also planning for a more glorious future for his family and future generations.
"That girl Yanran is exceptionally talented. Now that I have entered the Sendai realm, my influence within the sect is even greater than before. I will certainly dedicate all the resources of the Qinglan Sect to nurturing her. In the future, she will surely be able to follow in my footsteps and embark on the path to Sendai!"
Thinking of his proud and promising granddaughter Zhang Yanran, a loving smile involuntarily appeared on Zhang Tianyun's dignified face.
He was already imagining in his mind the heartwarming scene of his well-behaved granddaughter serving him tea amidst the envious gazes of the elders at the upcoming celebration.
With this pleasant feeling, Zhang Tianyun withdrew the almost tangible pressure from his Sendai aura and walked calmly out of the cave.
However, as soon as he left the cave, he saw an outer disciple dressed in the Qinglan Sect's robes kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
His forehead was pressed tightly against the cold jade floor, cold sweat had soaked his back, and he was trembling uncontrollably like a leaf.
"Huh? What's going on? Why are you waiting here alone?"
Zhang Tianyun's beaming smile vanished instantly, his brows furrowed slightly, and an invisible majesty befitting a powerful being at the Sendai Realm enveloped the disciple without him even raising his voice.
The disciple in charge felt the terrifying pressure, as if the sky were collapsing, and was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.
He didn't dare to look up at the high and mighty elder, but instead cried out in a hoarse and mournful voice.
"Elder...Elder! Something terrible has happened!"
"Miss Yanran's natal spirit tablet... was... shattered... three days ago!"
"I dare not disturb your secluded cultivation and breakthrough, so I can only wait here for three days..."
These three simple sentences, when they fell into Zhang Tianyun's ears, were like thunderbolts from the heavens exploding in his mind!
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
Zhang Tianyun's face, which had regained some rosy color due to his breakthrough, instantly turned deathly pale.
He suddenly flung his hand, slamming the disciple hard onto the ground with a deafening roar.
"With Elder Zhou, a master of the Fourth Extreme Realm, protecting her, who dares to touch her within the territory of the Great Li Dynasty? Who can kill her?!"
"You filthy lackey, how dare you spread heresy and disturb my resolve! You're courting death!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Tianyun completely ignored the disciple. He instantly transformed into a dazzling divine rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, rushing towards the "Life Tablet Pavilion" deep within the Qinglan Sect at an unimaginable and terrifying speed.
A few breaths later.
Zhang Tianyun's figure, accompanied by a violent hurricane, crashed down in front of the solemn and majestic main hall of the Destiny Tablet Pavilion.
He roughly pushed aside the elder guarding the gate and stumbled into the depths of the main hall where countless soul tablets of core disciples were displayed.
On the highest altar where the direct line of blood was enshrined, Zhang Tianyun's gaze swept across it as if it were a tangible object.
The next moment, his tall and imposing body suddenly stiffened, as if all his strength had been drained away. He staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground.
The jade pendant, which originally belonged to Zhang Yanran and radiated a warm luster, was now completely shattered into a pile of dull fragments, lying quietly on the altar, devoid of any spiritual fluctuations.
Facts speak louder than words.
His most beloved granddaughter, Zhang Yanran, is really dead!
"ah----!!!"
After a brief silence.
A roar filled with endless grief, like a tangible sound wave, suddenly erupted from the Destiny Tablet Pavilion!
"Who is it! Who is it?!"
Zhang Tianyun's eyes were bloodshot, like a mad, ancient beast.
He lunged forward and grabbed the cold jade fragments, his hands bleeding slightly from the force of his grip.
"I don't care who you are! You dared to kill my granddaughter, Zhang Tianyun! I will make sure you have nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell! I will extract your soul and suppress it in the Nine Netherworld Flames, so that you will suffer the torment of purgatory for eternity!"
Despite being enraged to the extreme, Zhang Tianyun had not completely lost his mind.
He forcibly suppressed the surging blood in his heart, bit his tongue hard, and with a "poof," spat out a mouthful of essence blood containing the power of the Sendai Realm, which he directly sprinkled onto the shattered jade tablets.
"Using blood as the guide, tracing back to the source! The universe is boundless, a journey of ten thousand miles! Reveal your power!"
Zhang Tianyun frantically formed hand seals, unleashing a tracking secret technique—the Great Evolution Soul-Chasing Technique!
As the essence blood burned and the magic seal was imprinted, a faint crimson light suddenly rose from the originally dull jade tablet fragments.
The light twisted and intertwined in mid-air, eventually transforming into a blurry, blood-red pointer.
In the direction indicated by the blood-red pointer, a blurry map flashed rapidly through Zhang Tianyun's mind.
Finally, the light and shadow settled on a remote place that Zhang Tianyun found both unfamiliar and contemptible.
"Mobei Prefecture?"
The murderous intent burst forth from Zhang Tianyun's bloodshot eyes as if it were a tangible force.
He never imagined that his granddaughter, the pride of the Qinglan Sect, would die in such a barren and desolate place with little spiritual energy!
"Excellent! What a fine northern prefecture!"
Zhang Tianyun suddenly stood up. The aura of the Sendai Realm that had been somewhat weak due to his recent breakthrough was now completely violent and bloodthirsty under the impetus of this overwhelming hatred.
His voice was so cold it seemed to come from the deepest hell, and every word carried a bloody scent that sent chills down one's spine.
"This barren land, rife with filth and corruption, has absolutely no reason to exist!"
"Whoever killed Yanran, I will tear you to pieces!"
"Issue my decree!"
Zhang Tianyun's voice echoed like thunder throughout the entire Qinglan Sect, shaking the minds of 100,000 disciples.
"Assemble three hundred elite law enforcement teams from our sect! Follow me... and crush the northern desert!"
