Chapter 956: Chapter 954: You Stand Against Me

Dugu Qingmei did not hesitate, quickly wielding the Insightful Power. What she saw was a mist, layer upon layer, extremely dense.

Her mind could not advance a single step further.

She was blocked.

A few minutes later.

Dugu Qingmei’s face suddenly turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was only after a few steps back that she steadied herself. When she looked up, her face was full of fear: "Someone is verifying the Tao."

Ah!

Dugu Muran was stunned: "Isn’t that so?" He pointed outside the Ancient City.

"No..." Dugu Qingmei opened her big eyes and said, "There’s another person verifying the Tao, and all the family experts have gone in that direction."

"Who?"

"Can’t see clearly, the karma is too great, only endless catastrophe can be seen," she said incredulously.

At the same time, two people were verifying the Tao!

Dugu Qingmei’s heart was pounding, and then as if she remembered something, she quickly rushed out of the Ancient City, wanting to convey this message to Chen Pingping.

Unfortunately, she could no longer approach there.

The Power of Catastrophe was becoming more powerful, and the pressure falling down had already risen to the Emperor Realm range and was still increasing.

Numerous karmas permeated the land and sky, almost becoming substantial.

Dugu Qingmei was growing more anxious.

Dong!

A dull sound came from the Ancient City behind, resounding between heaven and earth, and everyone heard it clearly. Immediately, a thick cold beam slashed out.

People were moved.

The alliance experts took action.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Dugu Qingmei glared.

She really hadn’t expected it. A Human Clan cultivator was to verify the Tao, but Human Clan cultivators were taking action to obstruct and destroy Chen Pingping’s Tao verification.

Unbelievable.

She became angry immediately, drawing her sword and slashing over.

Unfortunately, her realm was lacking, and her combat power wasn’t great either, being directly lifted by the cold beam, she flew horizontally away.

If not for Dugu Muran rushing out, she likely would have been severely injured.

The one who made the move was a Quasi-Emperor Realm, wielding a knife as white as snow, shimmering with a cold light, appearing extremely sharp.

When he swung it, ancient Taoist marks emerged, densely packed, quaint and simple, yet releasing terrifying power, like a blade slashed out by a Human Emperor from ages past.

In an instant, the earth cracked, the sky shook, and countless marks were obliterated at that moment.

Very strong.

But such a strike could not shake Chen Pingping’s power of Tao verification. He didn’t even make a move; it was the Power of Catastrophe that dissolved the attack of that slash.

Yet the middle-aged man who stepped out was calm, his deep eyes like the starry sky, within him surging with enormous power, like the Milky Way of the Nine Heavens about to burst forth.

A torrent eruption.

He was very calm, dressed simply, and his appearance was plain as well, but no one dared to underestimate him.

A few steps brought him here, watching the Tao verification on the mountain from a very long distance, he said softly: "Stop!" Saying so, he extended the cold knife in his hand.

The crowd was again shaken. It seemed the alliance was determined to take action.

This person verifying the Tao, the karma was too great, potentially affecting the alliance’s layout!

Moreover, if someone verifies the Tao in this era, it means that for tens of thousands of years, no one can become an Emperor.

Some interested people were naturally unwilling.

"What do you mean?" Dugu Qingmei was angry: "You’re also a part of the Human Clan, don’t you have any shame?"

The usual open strife and veiled struggles, the battles and killings, she could not be bothered.

But now, a Human Clan cultivator was verifying the Tao, and he was actually obstructing it?

Dugu Muran tightly held her, suppressing his voice and saying: "Don’t be impulsive, this is the will of the alliance’s top brass, we can’t change it."

"Cousin, we have to stop him," Dugu Qingmei said seriously.

"Why?" Dugu Muran was puzzled.

Because that guy is from the Wuji Sect!

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t be so concerned, but... the person from the Wuji Sect verifying the Tao, this holds great significance.

Seeing she didn’t speak, Dugu Muran sighed: "Our strength is limited, even if we exhaust ourselves, we can’t stop the alliance, do you understand?"

Dugu Qingmei snorted coldly: "I might as well fight them."

"Thank you!" Suddenly, such two words came from the mountain, the voice very soft, seemingly having anticipated such a situation long ago.

Chen Pingping was not surprised; on the contrary, he was quite moved by Dugu Qingmei’s heart to protect the Tao.

This girl is good, when needed, she’ll really step up.

But she couldn’t change anything, and Chen Pingping didn’t want her to act recklessly, adding, "I came for the alliance."

Upon this statement, the whole area fell silent.

Came for the alliance?

What does that mean?

He wasn’t here to verify the Tao?

Did he want to conquer the Ancient City?

Or, was he using the power of Tao verification to conquer the Ancient City?

Oh, my God!

This is too crazy, right?

Not to mention you haven’t successfully transcended the tribulation, even if you have succeeded and stepped into the Emperor Realm, possessing the power of the invincible, but... in the eyes of the alliance’s high-level, an Emperor Realm is still not worth a mention.

The big shots deep within, which one of them wasn’t an invincible being back in the day?

There are even Heaven Emperor Realms guarding, once they make a move, they could destroy the heavens and earth, and you, just a mere Emperor Realm, how many can you kill?

Chen Pingping’s audacity was too large, causing countless to be moved.

Even Dugu Qingmei took a sharp intake of breath, subsequently swearing: "What a load of bull! Can’t you stop bragging?"

Dugu Muran was in a daze, why did this voice sound a bit familiar?

There the Divine Radiance continuously surged, the Power of the Great Tao, Heaven and Earth Laws, Catastrophe Destruction, and Power of Karma were roaring, becoming even more condensed.

And the emanating fluctuations had surpassed the Emperor Realm.

But strangely, Chen Pingping remained very calm, his voice coming out in an orderly fashion.

All of this, all of it, exuded strangeness.

Within the depths of the Ancient City.

Inside the Taoist Temple.

After tidying up, the elderly man slowly left here, but he did not head towards the outside of the Ancient City; on the contrary, he walked deeper inside.

Screech!

The undying bird sang long, seemingly warning him.

But the Taoist Temple elder turned a deaf ear, continuing forward.

Damn...

The undying bird was furious: "That youngster has issues."

The catastrophe had yet to descend.

It had lived for so many years, and this was the first time witnessing such a strange scene, and he was too calm, how could one verify the Tao alone and be so calm?

"Master, the old guy from the Taoist Temple..." the man beside him hesitated to speak.

"Do you really think my alliance is easy to bully?" the undying bird stretched its body, soaring into the sky, and flames followed, looking from afar.

It was like a rising sun, permeating a suffocating heat.

Covered in bright red feathers, each one full of force, sharp as a knife, as it flapped its wings, the sky was slashed apart, the void collapsing with a roar, the scene astonishing.

It hovered in mid-air, its pair of bewitching eyes fixedly staring at the Taoist Temple elder coming towards it: "Do you truly want to become an enemy of my alliance?"

"You are the ones becoming an enemy with me," the elder spoke.

"You damned...!" the undying bird was enraged, face distorted: "In the battle of the dynasty, you killed over ten Emperor Realm experts of my alliance, later when the Dugu Lineage entered the Ancient City, you struck again, now a wild youngster wants to verify the Tao, you damned well want to act again? Did I owe you something?"

It was aggrieved.

This old man, really shameless.

The key is, for years, the alliance never touched the Taoist Temple, nor did they have any conflicts with them.

But now, you acted frequently, killing alliance experts.

And then nonchalantly saying, it was they who became enemies with the Taoist Temple.

Fuck!

So old, yet so shameless.

The undying bird was so angry it was trembling.
