Zuo Zongshou signed a Soul Contract with Fang Chen, and given their current cultivation levels, such a Soul Contract could be easily recognized by any strong individual from the Heavenly Realm, let alone an existence at the Daoist Master Realm, even if it was just a projection of a Divine Consciousness from a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert.
Therefore, when Fang Chen discovered that Zuo Zongshou had been forgotten by him and was outside the Heritage Site, where he was found by Jincheng Ancestor and six others, he knew things were not looking good.
However, at that moment, as long as Fang Chen was willing, he could use his status as the master of the Soul Contract to kill Zuo Zongshou instantly with just a thought from afar. If that happened, there would be no need for Jincheng Ancestor to probe into his memories, and Fang Chen would naturally remain undiscovered.
Yes, he would be exposed.
When Jincheng Ancestor began to sift through Zuo Zongshou's memories, Fang Chen realized that his exposure was inevitable. However, since Zuo Zongshou had followed him for some time and had been diligent during that period, it would be impossible for Fang Chen to actively destroy his soul under these circumstances.
Although he was ruthless and decisive in killing, that was only against enemies; he killed those who deserved it. It was difficult for him to take such action against someone on his side when they had not done anything wrong. Even if it meant paying a severe price and being hunted down by a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert!
Of course, aside from that, Fang Chen still harbored a glimmer of hope! Perhaps Zuo Zongshou would not die. After all, it was Jincheng Ancestor who was reviewing his memories, and Zuo Zongshou was still a disciple of Jincheng Sect.
But in the end, this glimmer of hope was completely shattered. After reviewing Zuo Zongshou's memories, Jincheng Ancestor mercilessly killed him. Moreover, having accessed Zuo Zongshou's memories meant that Jincheng Ancestor now knew everything he should and shouldn't know. Naturally, the name Fang Chen officially appeared in his sight.
"A traitor of the Sect deserves to die!" Jincheng Ancestor coldly uttered these eight words while watching Zuo Zongshou self-destruct in shock.
However, he then turned to the side with a mocking tone towards the Purple Divine Consciousness Pillar representing Ziyang Ancestor: "Heh heh, Ziyang, your Sect has produced quite a formidable character."
"With Qi Boundary cultivation, he stealthily killed a martial artist from Crimson Bright Sect at the Peak of the Transformation Realm and forced my Jincheng Sect disciple to sign a Soul Contract. Throughout our journey in the Colorful Sacred Realm, countless disciples from various sects have either died or been injured at his hands. More importantly, even the Thunder Kirin from Thunder Abyss colluded with him to seize the Heritage Site."
Jincheng Ancestor sneered repeatedly. Deep down, he was filled with rage and even harbored immense killing intent towards Fang Chen. Because what Fang Chen had stealthily killed was not merely a martial artist at the Peak of the Transformation Realm from Crimson Bright but an Inner Sect Disciple! An Inner Sect Disciple at Primordial Embryo Realm cultivation!
Given such a vast disparity in cultivation levels, it was shocking that it was not Qi Boundary's Fang Chen who died but rather the latter! Furthermore, everything Fang Chen had experienced afterward—such as Thunder Body Refinement and Thunder Pool refinement—along with his rapidly rising realm only heightened Jincheng Ancestor's sense of threat.
Had he not reviewed Zuo Zongshou's memories, he would never have imagined that a mere Qi Boundary disciple from Ziyang Sect could be so outstanding!
Moreover, aside from that, he now harbored some unsettling suspicions regarding the safety of Chen Chu and the others. Concerning the Heritage Site, he merely brushed aside Fang Chen's collusion with the Thunder Kirin, attempting to seize the Heritage within, without mentioning Jincheng and Crimson Bright at all. However, having reviewed Zuo Zongshou's memories, how could he not know what truly transpired?
After entering the Heritage Site, Chen Chu and the others had not come out again! And now, Fang Chen and that Thunder Kirin had clearly fled before their arrival. What did this signify? He was well aware; even though he had not seen the scene of Chen Chu's death while reviewing Zuo Zongshou's memories, he already suspected that their demise might be related to Fang Chen.
After all, in Jincheng Ancestor's view, although Fang Chen's cultivation was currently weak and lacked such power, the Thunder Kirin, a peak beast of the Heavenly Realm, certainly possessed that capability. Furthermore, remnants of Thunder Power still lingered in the Black Mountain ruins, suggesting that a great battle had occurred here before.
In short, both Fang Chen and Thunder Kirin were highly suspicious! Moreover, such an outstanding individual was actually a disciple of Ziyang Sect; this made him even more dangerous. Jincheng Ancestor was filled with malice.
"Oh right, that junior from your Thick Earth Sect named Xiao Xingkong also died at the hands of this Fang Chen from Ziyang Sect," Jincheng Ancestor casually remarked to the yellow Divine Consciousness Beam.
Normally, he would not pay much attention to a junior from another sect, even if they were the offspring of the Thick Earth Sect's leader and a young genius. However, having reviewed Zuo Zongshou's memories, he understood just how terrifying Fang Chen's potential truly was. Therefore, with murderous intent resolved, he did not mind rallying more power for a thorough extermination!
"Xiao Xingkong... Xiao Xingkong... I seem to have some impression," came a murmuring voice from within the yellow Divine Consciousness Beam.
Although he was the Ancestor of Thick Earth Sect and generally focused on seclusion and cultivation without concerning himself with sect matters, it was evident that he still retained some memory of this sect leader's talented offspring, Xiao Xingkong. Moreover, this matter had recently stirred quite a commotion within Thick Earth Sect.
In the next moment, that murmuring voice transformed into a chilling cold tone: "Killing requires retribution. Since this child has ill intentions and dares to recklessly slay my Thick Earth Sect disciples, then it is his path to death; let him be killed."
"Even though this place is Colorful Sacred Realm where killing is permissible, we cannot allow someone so ruthless who resorts to any means necessary to slaughter members of other sects to live!" The crimson Divine Consciousness Beam echoed with words imbued with blatant murderous intent.
"Danling, Azure Sky, Blue Ling, what do you say?" Jincheng Ancestor suddenly asked.
At this moment, among the seven individuals present, three had already agreed to eliminate Fang Chen. As long as these last three nodded in agreement, it would almost be a foregone conclusion. Even if Ziyang—the oldest and most inscrutable among them—opposed it, he did not believe there would be any further complications.
As for how to kill Fang Chen, as long as he remained within this Colorful Sacred Realm, could he escape their scrutiny?
"Agreed."
"I have no objections."
"This child is too arrogant; he should be punished."
After a moment of silence, the three spoke in succession.
Now, among the seven, six had already agreed!
"Good!" Jincheng Ancestor said. As he spoke, his Orange Divine Sense Light Column suddenly trembled, and then a brilliant light erupted. A vast Divine Consciousness swept out from it, heading towards the nearby Thunder Abyss for investigation.
Since it was known that Fang Chen was in league with the Thunder Kirin, and the Thunder Kirin was a creature of the Thunder Abyss, having left the Heritage Site, it must have returned to the Thunder Abyss. Therefore, Fang Chen was very likely also within the Thunder Abyss at this moment.
However, just then, a chilling aura suddenly swept out from a nearby purple light column. This murderous aura transformed into a sharp sword that directly severed a strand of Jincheng Ancestor's Divine Consciousness Power that was probing towards the Thunder Abyss.
"Have you asked for my opinion?"
Ziyang Ancestor's unique raspy voice echoed clearly. At the moment these words were spoken, the space around the Purple Divine Consciousness Pillar began to tremble violently, and an overwhelming aura of slaughter gradually seeped out, slowly tinting every inch of space with a faint purple hue.
Purple, a color representing slaughter!
"If I remain silent, do you think Jincheng that I am dead?"
Ziyang Ancestor reprimanded. As he spoke, his purple Divine Consciousness Beam suddenly shook violently, and then a vast Divine Consciousness Power surged forth, transforming in mid-air into a giant purple hand that heavily struck towards Jincheng Ancestor's orange Divine Consciousness Beam.
“Ziyang Don't go too far!”
The voice of shock and anger came from Jincheng Ancestor. At that moment, the Orange Divine Sense Light Column trembled violently, and then a Golden Palm formed from Divine Consciousness Power, roughly the same size as the Purple Giant Palm, extended from the Divine Consciousness Beam, carrying a Severe killing intent, and struck towards the descending Purple Giant Palm.
On one side was a sword-like attack imbued with Severe killing intent, while on the other was pure destructive power, radiating an aura capable of annihilating everything.
Boom!
In an instant, the air above everyone shattered, and terrifying Qi Energy swept out from the void, engulfing everyone. A chilling breeze caused the temperature around to plummet. This ominous wind blowing from the void could instantly dissolve the flesh and blood of any warrior in the Alchemy Realm. However, those present were not mere warriors of the Alchemy Realm, but seven projections of Daoist Master Realm with Divine Consciousness!
No one paid attention to the dreadful wind; all eyes were focused on the collision point shimmering with purple and gold in mid-air.
At that moment!!
“What if I do?”
A calm Raspy Voice, tinged with indifference, came from Ziyang Ancestor.
Simultaneously, the previously seemingly restrained Purple Giant Palm suddenly shone brightly!
