“Impossible!”
“Ancestor Qingmang’s body is indestructible. Other than Earth Immortals, who can kill him? How could he die?”
The Witch Sect Sect Master barely managed to recover from his shock.
Qingmang not only had a strong body, he also had unfathomable means in his arsenal. Even if he was surrounded by several Half-Step Earth Immortals, he could calmly retreat. How could such an existence die?
Not to mention, that along with Qingmang, there were six other Half-Step Earth Immortals. In today’s world, who was their enemy?
If it wasn’t his personal disciple who had reported such outrageous news, the Witch Sect Sect Master would have slapped the person to death at the first instance.
“Sect Master, I am telling the truth. I have seen Ancestor Qingmang being destroyed by the punch of the Tang Empire’s Legend with my own eyes flesh; even wiping out the Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit…” An unspoken ‘Qingmang’s eyes was filled with extreme fear.’
Seeing this, the Witch Sect Sect Master fell silent.
If all of the seven Ancestors had died together, it would definitely be an earth-shattering event. It was impossible for any disciple to dare to deceive him. Besides, it was very simple to confirm whether their Ancestors had indeed died. They just need to go back to their Sects and check whether the Ancestors’ Fire of Life had been extinguished.
This matter can’t be faked.
The other Sect Masters also wore heavy expressions on their faces. They had the same thoughts as the Witch Sect Sect Master, especially the Dark Source Sect Sect Master; whose face turned extremely ugly.
The Dark Source Sect’s foundation was not as good as other Major Sects. Now that the 1st Ancestor had died, the blow to their Sects would be absolutely fatal.
After today, it doesn’t matter what happens to the other Major Sects, but the Dark Source Sect would definitely end up tragic.
For many years, the Dark Source Sect had acted recklessly. God knows how many enemies they had provoked. If their 1st Ancestor was still there, these enemies could only endure. But now that the 1st Ancestor was dead…
Thinking of this, the Dark Source Sect Sect Master shivered at the thought.
“Could it really be that the Tang Empire’s Legend is an Earth Immortal?” The Snow God Palace Sect Master finally said in a low voice, after being silent for a long time.
When the rest of the Sect Masters heard her words, their lips moved. They wanted to say something, but in the end, they said nothing.
Whether Su Qin was an Earth Immortal or not, doesn’t matter right now. Now that seven Half-Step Earth Immortals had fallen, if even the Witch Sect and Thunder God Sect could barely bear the consequences, the rest of the Major Sects, like the Snow God Palace, had basically collapsed.
As for the Dao Yi Men Sect Master, he was stunned and beyond shocked. Originally, he thought that Su Qin could only, at least, barely escape with his life. He did not expect that not only Su Qin fought back, he even crushed the seven Ancestors!
Escaping and countering from an attack were two completely different concepts.
There could be many reasons for the former. It may be that their escaping techniques were strong, or that they detected an anomaly early and avoided it in advance.
But the latter… It was pure crushing strength.
In particular, the Dao Yi Men Sect Master knew that the seven Ancestors would use the combined technique to increase their strength. Yet, they were still the ones that died!
“What should we do now?”
After a while, the Divine Medicine Sect Sect Master plucked up the courage and asked.
The fall of seven Half-Step Earth Immortals was an unprecedented blow to all of the Major Sects, and even many of them had slumped because of this. But the most important thing right now was: What should they do next?
Obviously, since the seven Ancestors died, Su Qin was the one left alive.
If countermeasures were not discussed as soon as possible, then the Myriad Sword Sect was a great example of what would happen.
“Sect Master, it is said that in the depths of your Witch Sect is a supreme treasure that has been passed down from the last prosperous era. Why not use the power of the treasure to resist?” The Dark Source Sect Master suddenly looked at the Witch Sect Sect Master and said in a deep voice.
The so-called supreme treasure was the magic weapon left by a supreme powerhouse, who were existences beyond the Earth Immortal Realm. Even in the prosperous era, there were not many supreme powerhouses.
Even the weakest supreme powerhouse magic weapon was far stronger than the average magic weapon. The Artifact Spirit inside the artifact also had the ability to recover on its own.
“Supreme treasure?”
The Witch Sect Sect Master’s expression greatly changed, and he shook his head without hesitation, “The supreme treasure is the foundation of the Witch Sect. Unless a disaster that would destroy Sect comes, no one can mobilize the artifact.”
The Witch Sect Sect Master was also speaking the truth. Other than a supreme powerhouse, no one would be able to control the artifact. Even Earth Immortals could hardly control it. In a certain way, the artifact had a will of its own.
“I have a proposal.” At this moment, the Dao Yi Men Sect Master suddenly opened said.
All of the Sect Masters immediately looked at the former. They suddenly realized something.
Among the Major Sects, the Dao Yi Men had never done anything to Su Qin.
The same was true for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. But the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall had always behaved differently from ordinary people. It’s the Dao Yi Men Sect that’s intriguing.
“Fellow Daoist, please say.”
The Sect Masters looked at the Dao Yi Men Sect Master with a burning gaze.
Although the Witch Sect and Thunder God Sect were protected by supreme treasures, the treasures could only protect the inheritance of the Sect, and would not take the initiative to kill the enemy.
If Su Qin chooses to not fight with the supreme treasure, who could stop him?
“It’s very simple.”
The Dao Yi Men Sect Master pondered for a while, before saying: “If you all take the initiative to surrender and go to Chang’an City to plead guilty, the Tang Empire’s Legend might spare you once…”
The Sect Masters immediately looked at each other, their expressions changed again.
Behind them were heritage that had passed down for thousands of years. If they choose to surrender and plead guilty, wouldn’t they be disregarding the reputation of their Sects?
However, if they don’t do this, when Su Qin comes knocking on their doors, let alone their reputation, the Sects themselves would be gone.

Chang’an City.
After Su Qin collected the artifacts left by the Seven Ancestors, he went back to the palace.
“Third Brother.”
Emperor Li Sheng and Su Yueyun immediately greeted him.
Fei Yu and the Old Taoist followed closely behind.
“Third Brother, are you alright?” Su Yueyun couldn’t help asking. Although she learned from the Old Taoist that Su Qin had won, she was still a little worried.
“I’m fine.”
Su Qin shook his head.
Before returning to the palace, he had already deactivated the Golden Crow Divine Body. Otherwise, with the aura naturally emitted by the Golden Crow Divine Body, even a Peak Legend like Fei Yu would find the pressure unbearable, moreso Emperor Li Sheng and Su Yueyun.
“My Lord.”
Fei Yu, the Old Taoist and other Legends bowed deeply towards Su Qin.
At this moment, in their eyes, Su Qin was an immortal.
After chatting with Emperor Li Sheng and the others for a bit, Su Qin left, returning to the Underground Palace.
Meanwhile, Emperor Li Sheng excitedly returned to the Long Life Temple.
The impact of the battle between Su Qin and the Seven Ancestors was too great. After repeated explanations by the Old Taoist and Fei Yu, Emperor Li Sheng realized what kind of situation the Tang Empire would face next.
After today, the Major Sects would not dare to have any more presumptuous ideas about the Tang Empire.
In the majestic Underground Palace.
The All Souls Buddha Lamp was emitting Buddhist light, and the Earth Element Flag emitted Earth Element energy. Ultimately, even an Earth Immortal would just ignore this place if they did not scrutinize the place properly.
“Should I go visit the Major Sects overseas and Sign In there if it has the option?”
Su Qin sat cross-legged, and thought silently in his heart.
After the fall of seven Half-Step Earth Immortals, these Major Sects could no longer stop Su Qin.
Therefore, Su Qin had the thought of visiting the Major Sects to Sign In.
After all, the last time he Sign In on the Myriad Sword Island, Su Qin obtained a lot of good things.
Considering that among the Myriad Sword Sect had the shortest heritage among the Major Sects, god knows how good the things were in the long-standing Sects.
“There’s no hurry.”
“I’ll consider it after entering the Earth Immortal Realm.”
After thinking for a while, Su Qin gave up the idea.
First reason was that Su Qin’s current strength had reached a bottleneck. It would be difficult for him to have a major qualitative change before entering the Earth Immortal Realm. In this case, even if Su Qin really Signed In and obtained something good, it would not be used.
Besides, the Major Sects would not run away. Su Qin can go at any time, and he was not in a hurry at all.
The second reason was that the Major Sects may have other backers. If Su Qin just rushed in blindly, he might suffer a loss.
Therefore, Su Qin’s idea was to wait until he had completely entered the Earth Immortal Realm. His strength would have been improved again, and once he had more confidence, it would not be too late to go again.
Anyway, Su Qin was currently at the critical point of the Legend Realm. If it was not for the sake of added safety, he would have already begun to attack the Earth Immortal Realm.
“With my current Primordial Spirit, once I integrate into the ocean of vitality, it should be able to dive deep. By that time, after stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm, the benefits I would obtain will be even greater.”
“Plus there’s the Golden Crow Divine Body…”
Su Qin’s eyes began to light up.
“As long as I succeed in breaking through, in terms of strength alone, I should be considered an expert in the Earth Immortal Realm. Not to mention that I still have other trump cards…”
Su Qin calmed down and his gaze firmed.
The next step was just to make a breakthrough into the Earth Immortal Realm in the shortest time possible.
