Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 657: The Uninvited Intruders

"Of course, where are my manners? Please forgive me."

"I apologize for making a fool of myself before the senior."

Both Lei Ji and Meng Shui responded at the same time, even bowing a little to apologize. It was not that their sect was inferior to the Temple of Eternal Body, but the two of them greatly respected the man before them and also had similar relationships with the previous leader.

"What are they doing up there?"

"Why can't we hear anything?"

Down on the stone platform, everyone was confused seeing their actions, but they could only voice their thoughts among themselves.

But the inner disciples from the three sects were more than privy to the relations between the two elders, and they could only sigh inwardly.

"Now that everyone has gathered, we can officially begin the opening of The Great Domain." Abbot Liang waved his hands, and four monks whose bodies were glowing with a golden glow flew up to the jade platform and bowed to the abbot.

"Greetings, elders." The two elders, Meng Shui and Lei Ji, greeted them.

"Looks like every elder is here." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Abbot Liang Chen smiled and said, "You know that it is a tradition for all the elders along with inner and core disciples to join this ceremony."

Turning towards the elders, he nodded. "Arhat Duzhen, Arhat Puti, please open the gateway of the great domain."

His voice echoed through the entire Jade Expanse, making the hearts of the listeners beat in anticipation and excitement.

The two Arhats nodded and stepped forward. Just as they raised their arms and channeled the golden qi through their meridians, a cold laughter echoed through the entire expanse.

"Kekeke, why don't you let us join you in this grand event?"

…

"Kekeke, why don't you let us join you in this grand event?"

Hearing the chilling laughter, the crowd went silent. The Arhats lowered their arms, their hands clutched onto their praying beads as if they were ready for confrontation.

Abbot's smile faded a little while the expressions of Elder Meng Shui and Elder Lei Ji turned serious. They looked at the sky that was now dyed in blood-red color.

The clouds looked like they could bleed at any moment—

And they did.

Blood droplets started to fall from the sky; everyone used their qi to shield themselves, but it started to churn through their qi.

Hiss!

It looked like water was poured into the fire, extinguishing it little by little. When the rogue cultivators and the disciples of the three great sects started to suffer, something astonishing happened.

Woosh!

Abbot Liang Chen's body glowed with rainbow-like radiance. Like rays of the sun, it shot through his body and gathered into a palm that shot through the air and enlarged to the size of a small mountain, shocking everyone present.

Woosh!!

"Abbot Liang is as strong as always." Meng Shui and Lei Ji exchanged strained glances as they watched the palm destroy the demonic blood rain clouds and continued to soar through the skies like a dragon.

"Hmph!" A cold snort echoed through the air once the clouds were obliterated. "To drink the blood of heaven and devour the marrow of fate — this is true cultivation."

Blood falling from the sky paused and soared back towards the sky.

Right there, in front of everyone, a huge blood scythe materialized out of nowhere and collided against the translucent palm.

BOOM!

The elders and the Arhats moved to shield their disciples and the rogue cultivators from the auras of the collision.

The attacks destroyed each other, and a wave of power sent ripples through the sky, revealing a group of cultivators hovering in the sky.

"Heavens." Someone from the rogue cultivators spoke in a raspy tone, "Is that the power of the soul formation realm powerhouse?"

Another one nodded before chiming in as well, "Yeah, they can destroy us with a single flick of their fingers."

"They are monsters."

The group suddenly descended under the fearful yet watchful eyes. Leading the group was a frail-looking old man whose body was clearly showing signs of old age. His skin seemed to be hanging on a skeleton; it was so loose.

But he was also the living embodiment of the saying, 'Looks can be deceiving.' The blood aura coming from his body almost gave several cultivators a heart attack.

"Looks like you have made some improvements, foolish monk." The old man smiled with his hands behind his back, hiding the faint trail of blood on his palm. "You almost took this Chi Zu retreat a step back."

The smile on the abbot's face vanished as he spoke, "And you seem to have broken through the Soul Formation Realm; how unfortunate."

His voice carried a genuine hint of remorse, making Chi Zu's eyebrows furrow.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Chi Zu kept the smile on his face, but it seemed more hypocritical.

"The fact that you broke through means blood was spilled." It was Lei Ji who spoke, and Meng Shui also stepped forward along with him.

"We should end your pitiful existence here for the people you have killed."

Both of them were ready to act. Their bodies, gleaming with power. Meng Shui had a lotus floating above her palm, and Lei Ji's body was crackling with bolts of lightning.

"Hump!" With a low snort, Chi Zu prepared for an attack of his own. His eyes narrowed sharply.

"Stop!" Abbot Liang raised his voice with the enchantment of the qi, causing it to ripple through the air, freezing their bodies for a millisecond.

"These are the sacred grounds of the temple, and there will be blood shed here." He announced somberly, "Since Donor Chi Zu wants their Blood Fiend Sect to join us in exploring our domain, we are no one to stop them."

"Abbot—"

One of the Arhats tried to stop him, but the Abbot stopped him at once. "Arhat Jingwu, you know the ancestral rules as much as I do. Everyone who is qualified to enter the domain is allowed to do so, as they are responsible for their own life and death."

Hearing his words, the Arhat backed down, but the old man frowned, "Are you threatening me, monk?"
