Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 390

Chapter 390 — Three Disturbances at the Gao Family; Gao Yunxiao Reappears!

Immortal Realm, Gao Clan City, Ascension Platform.

It was once again the century-old gathering of ascendants.

After the lessons of the previous two times, the Gao family had decided this time to station three elders on the Ascension Platform!

One seventh-rank celestial immortal and two sixth-rank celestial immortals!

At this moment, beside the Ascension Platform, the three elders sat together, chatting idly.

“Do you think there’ll be another accident at the Ascension Platform this time?”

“Remember, the last two times, not only did our Gao family fail to recruit any ascendants, but each guardian who stood watch at the dais died!”

“Heh, you old worrywart, you’re being ridiculous. Don’t you know the saying—things don’t happen more than three times?”

“The previous incidents were because the younger generation of the clan couldn’t be trusted. Now that the three of us are personally guarding the dais, what kind of accident could possibly happen?”

“That’s true…”

The other two agreed heartily.

“Eh?!!”

Suddenly one of the sixth-rank celestial immortal elders furrowed his brow, a puzzled look crossing his face as if he sensed something amiss.

“What’s the matter, old man?”

They looked up and saw another dazzling light flare in the center of the Ascension Platform.

Two figures stepped out of it.

“You old ghosts, didn’t expect I’d be back, did you!”

Tianzhu stepped forward and fixed his gaze on the three Gao clan elders guarding the dais.

“You are…”

Seeing Tianzhu, the three elders were momentarily stunned—none of them recognized him at first.

After all, who would have imagined that the beggar the Gao clan had sealed away for thousands of years would now appear before them as a different person?

“Who am I? Your memory is terrible!” Tianzhu’s eyes flashed coldly. “You locked me up for nearly seven thousand years—who do you think I am?”

“It’s… it’s you!”

At that instant, the three elders’ eyes widened in unison.

“Quick, report to the patriarch—Tianzhu has returned!!!”

The elders panicked; they didn’t dare linger and immediately tried to flee.

Seven thousand years ago, Tianzhu had been a ninth-grade heavenly immortal!

Having been suppressed by the Gao family for millennia and repeatedly subjected to the torment of bone extraction, his rage had long since reached the heavens!

If they moved too slowly, they would die.

At the same time, they were filled with bitter regret for having taken on the cursed task of guarding the Ascension Platform—a duty that had seen a hundred percent mortality the last two sessions!

“All that ‘third time’s the charm’ nonsense—what a lie!!”

But now that Tianzhu had returned to the Gao family, those nearly seven thousand years of imprisonment had all transformed into hatred in his heart.

Trying to run?

Too late!

Tianzhu took a single step and his speed exploded.

In an instant, he caught up with the three fleeing elders!!!

“No, no—don’t kill me, spare me, spare me!!”

Seeing Tianzhu closing in, the three elders screamed as if their hearts would burst. They called for mercy while frantically dodging, utterly humiliated.

“Spare you? Did you ever spare me in all those thousands of years?” Tianzhu’s eyes were icy. He drove his right fist forward, aiming at one of the sixth-rank celestial immortals.

Boom—

With a dull, heavy sound, that sixth-rank immortal’s physical body exploded to pieces!

“No!!!”

The two remaining elders’ pupils contracted sharply, their faces ashen with terror.

One move!

With a single strike he annihilated a sixth-rank celestial immortal!

Tianzhu’s strength had not diminished during those thousands of years of imprisonment; if anything, he was now even more powerful!

Beside the Ascension Platform, Su Bai watched as more than four hundred ascendants gathered and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Over four hundred ascendants—deducting duplicates, that meant at least three hundred more worlds had joined!

“Everyone, this place is about to become a battlefield. If you don’t want to die, step forward. I will lead you to a safe place!”

These ascendants were no fools. Seeing Tianzhu pursue the Gao clan elders, they understood that something major was about to happen!

Besides, when those Gao elders had looked at them before, the glint in their eyes had been like a ravenous wolf sizing up lambs.

The Immortal Realm was likely no place for mercy!

And Su Bai and Tianzhu had just come out of the Ascension Platform—so they were ascendants too!

They made their decision immediately!

One after another, everyone stepped forward, deciding to follow Su Bai for now and see how things unfolded.

“Return to the sect!”

Su Bai sent out a clone and took all those ascendants back to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

After doing that, Su Bai looked back at Tianzhu; by then Tianzhu had already slain all three Gao clan elders!

With Tianzhu’s current power, killing those sixth- and seventh-rank celestial immortals was utterly effortless!

“Boom!”

“Who dares—how dare you kill my Gao clan elders!!”

A shout rang from afar as the Patriarch of the Gao clan appeared!

A group of Gao elders had come with him.

“Charge!”

Dozens of Gao strongmen rode in on warhorses at high speed and quickly reached the Ascension Platform.

“Tianzhu!!!”

“You actually ran away and still dared to come back!!!”

Seeing Tianzhu, the Gao clan Patriarch’s face brimmed with fierce joy.

They had searched for him for a hundred years and couldn’t find him—who would have expected him to return on a silver platter today!

Truly, relentless searching bore no fruit, yet he appeared effortlessly at their door!

“Tianzhu, this time you won’t escape with wings attached!”

The next moment, the Gao Patriarch led his force and charged at Tianzhu.

Tianzhu did not retreat a single step; instead, his hatred had transformed into overwhelming battle fervor.

“Kill!”

He uttered the word softly, moved, and met them head-on.

“Rumble……”

The void trembled as wind and thunder lashed out.

In an instant, Tianzhu and the Gao forces collided.

“Bang bang bang……”

Explosive roars continued without pause; each clash unleashed destructive hurricanes!

“Whoosh!”

After only a few moves, another Gao seventh-rank celestial immortal was torn apart—his body sent flying, blood splattering everywhere!

“Tianzhu, you’re seeking death!!!”

The Gao Patriarch’s eyes hardened and his aura surged, but it was still not enough to stop Tianzhu!

Tianzhu’s power was simply too great now!

Among heavenly immortals, few could match him!

And this was his battle of vengeance—his fighting intent boiled over, fearless in the face of death. Even the Gao clan’s many eighth- and ninth-rank heavenly immortals could not blunt his edge!!!

One man pressing dozens of Gao elders into retreat!

This sight filled the Gao Patriarch with indescribable terror.

If this continued, every one of them would be cut down!

He himself probably would not escape being slain!

Tianzhu was too strong!

Far stronger than he had been seven thousand years ago!

“Old Ancestor, please intervene and subdue this man!”
“Otherwise, we’re doomed!”
In the end, he had no choice but to plead for help from the Old Ancestor of the Gao clan.
“Boom—”
A vast, majestic aura descended from the heavens.
True Immortal Gao Yunxiao of the Gao clan had arrived!
