Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 706 - Blinded!

"What the hell is happening?" 

No one, including Tian Han, had expected such a sudden change to occur. The light was very intense and even Tian Han had to close his eyes for the fear of going blind. After all, he was the closest to the light source, being literally next to it!

~SHUA~

The light spread out like the glare of the sun, burning the eyes of all that looked at it.

"ARGH!!! MY EYES!!!!" The elders shouted.

The tried to cover their eyes with their hands but they had already been exposed to the light by now. 

"WHY! WHY IS IT WHITE EVEN NOW!??" one of the elders questioned.

With their eyes closed, they should have seen a black scene. But due to how bright the light had been, they had been instantly blinded!

  Even Elder Qianshu, who had the highest cultivation base here, was no difference.

"DAMMIT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR SUCH TRICKS!" Elder Qianshu shouted with absolute range.

But what he didn't know was that the attack had just started.

In all this chaos, a voice spoke. 

This voice was inaudible to everyone here though, but it was dictating the fate of all that were here.

The elders were still reeling in from being caught off guard and only Elder Qianshu was somewhat holding on to his wits. Currently, he was blindly attacking in rage.

The previous Frost Seeking palm that he had shot out had disappeared, as if a snowflake on a hot pan. And now he was sending out more of them. 

"Frost Seeking Palm!" Elder Qianshu sent out several palms one after the other, using up quite a bit of spirit Qi in the process.

~WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

The attacks couldn't really be aimed by the eye, so Elder Qianshu used his spirit sense to guide it. Besides, he still had enough battle experience such that he could guess and remember where Tian Han was last present.

The palm imprints soared through the air and accurately approached Tian Han.

~SHUA~

But just as they were a meter away from him, they disappeared again!

"WHAT?!" Elder Qianshu who felt his attack disappear, was shocked again.

~HONG~

But this was just the start of his shock as his spirit sense was suddenly suppressed. 

"How is this possible? What did he do?" Elder Qianshu said in confusion.

But the suppression soon turned downright violent when his spirit sense started to corrode.

"AH!" Elder Qianshu held his head as a sharp headache assaulted him.

Since the Spirit sense was directly linked to one's mind for control, any damage to it was presented very quickly and the person who suffered it might get various symptoms. The most common symptom was a headache, but the more serious ones could be as bad as going insane or instantaneous collapse of one's soul, leading to death.

Elder Qianshu had been injured like this before and knew that the best course of action ins situations such as these was to quickly withdraw their spirit sense. And yet… he found himself unable to do it.

"NO!!!!" Elder Qianshu shouted as he felt his spirit sense being corroded.

It was rapidly spreading from the very tip of it to the source, which was his mind. Knowing that this could be very dangerous, Elder Qianshu took a severe step.

'BREAK!' Elder Qianshu gritted his teeth and shouted in his mind.

~TWANG~

An almost audible sound was heard. It was similar to the string of a bow or a fiddle breaking under stress.

~huu~huu~huu~

Elder Qianshu's already bad complexion became even paler as blood drained from it. This added to his already existing injuries. He took a deep breath and took out a few pill bottles from his spatial storage treasure before pouring all of them down his throat without caring for judicious use.

'I'll get every cent of this back several folds! I swear to the heavens!' Elder Qianshu swore in his mind.

The pills were evidently very valuable and strong, acting quickly and healing the man's injuries.

Feeling a cooling sensation in his eyes, Elder Qianshu opened his eyes.

"At least I can see again…" He said in a low voice.

His pale face gained color again, but started to get darker and darker. Veins popped up on his forehead as his anger reached a new level.

"I SWEAR UPON MY HONOR AND NAME, I'LL SLAUGHTER YOU AND NINE GENERATIONS OF YOUR CLAN!" Elder Qianshu proclaimed.

He finally looked at Tian Han, who had recovered somewhat as well. While he was still dirty and covered with soot, his face could now be made out.

"It… It's you!??" Elder Qianshu was stunned.

He had evidently known of Tian Han. After all, he and Tian Chu had visited the sect to inquire about their clan member. And seeing the interest Tian Han had shown in the Frozen Cliff division, Elder Qianshu was informed of it.

He was the one who had instructed the other elder to lie to Tian Han about Tian Xiaoge's death.

"How can it be you?" Elder Qianshu questioned.

He was informed that while Tian Han was at the peak stage of the core condensation realm; he wasn't at the cusp of breakthrough, or the Pseudo Nascent soul realm. In fact, any elder at the Nascent soul realm would have been able to sense the presence of tribulation energy around Tian Han if he really was this close to breakthrough.

After all, it had been barely two days since he had visited the sect. 

While it may not be possible for them to tell who was going to breakthrough in the early stages of the pseudo Nascent soul realm, when the breakthrough was just a couple of days ago, the tribulation energy would be rather intense.
