Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Good...acting!

Gu An stared blankly at the arrogant Lv Baitian, thinking to himself.

Lv Baitian tilted his jaw ev higher, thinking his grandeur had stunned the kid.

"Could it be that you are the former Sect Leader who succumbed to demonic deviation?" Gu An feigned shock as he asked.

Demonic deviation...

A twitch crossed Lv Baitian's face, and he snorted, "That was inttional on my part."

"But you are only at the Energy Cultivation Realm now, how can you wipe out the Demon Path?"

"Kid, I merely compressed my spiritual power into my primordial spirit, pretding to be deviated, just to show those people what Supreme Sect would become without me," said Lv Baitian, his tone filled with contempt, obviously directed at the Hall of Elders.

Gu An fell silt.

How many innoct disciples would die in the conflict betwe Lv Baitian and the Hall of Elders?

"Let's go."

Lv Baitian reached out, wanting to grab Gu An's shoulder, causing him to hastily retreat.

"I'd rather not go, it's too dangerous..." Gu An shook his head.

He had to guard Medicine Valley!

Lv Baitian laughed teasingly, "Don't you want to see how the battle betwe good and evil will d?"

Gu An shook his head frantically like a bobblehead, waving his hands as he said, "I'd rather stay and watch over Medicine Valley."

"Don't worry, nothing will happ to your Medicine Valley. The aura I've just released has already attracted a Great Cultivator here," Lv Baitian said, no longer referring to himself as 'this seat', his tone now warmer.

Gu An truly felt the presce of a Void Crossing Realm aura rapidly closing in.

The Supreme Sect has such a profound foundation; how many Void Crossing Realm Cultivators are they hiding?

Lv Baitian made another move, and although Gu An could see his actions, it was not good to evade, so he had to comply.

Grabbing Gu An's shoulder, Lv Baitian vanished into thin air with him.

During the process of being grabbed, Gu An ran his Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill to the maximum, concealing his Gold Core and Primordial Spirit, making himself appear a guine Foundation Establishmt Realm Cultivator.

The fact was, he was worrying too much, as Lv Baitian had no inttion of examining his physical body.

After t breaths, Lv Baitian stopped, bringing Gu An to a grand hall.

The hall was spacious, and the stone pillars on both sides were twined with familiar Divine Beasts like True Dragons, Phoixes, Qilins, and other Divine Beasts that Gu An did not recognize.

Lv Baitian let go, moving forward with a step, leaving a stce behind, "Wait here for me, my powers have not fully recovered."

Gu An could tell that he hadn't reached his peak simply by using Life Span Detection, yet hearing such words from Lv Baitian seemed far-fetched.

You hav't recovered and still you put on an act before me?

And you released your aura, not fearing that your adversaries might take this chance to finish you off?

Wait, could this rash man have brought him along because he had discovered he was Sword Verable Fudao?

Once Gu An considered this, a cold sweat broke out on him.

He watched Lv Baitian ascd the steps, sitting on a gold chair like an emperor, looking down on all.

He could see that Lv Baitian was indeed cultivating, as the spiritual power inside him was being released rapidly.

The hall fell into silce, and Gu An pondered over Lv Baitian's inttions.

After a while, Gu An ssed two presces rapidly approaching, one of which was familiar to him.

An Hao!

The aura of the other person had reached the Unification Realm!

He did not look back but instead walked to one of the side pillars to wait.

Seconds later, two figures flew into the hall.

Gu An glanced up and immediately performed a Life Span Detection.

[Lei Zh (Unification Realm Layer One): 465/700/0]

Lei Zh?

Gu An had never heard of him and thought that it would be Sect Leader Chu Tianqi who would come.

It seemed that Chu Tianqi's cultivation level might be ev higher.

Gu An felt his own Unification Realm Nine Layers cultivation level was not that stable.

After this calamity, he'd have to work ev harder to hoard life span!

Being the strongest in Supreme Sect wasn't ough; he also had to survive the upcoming Demon Calamity. Thinking of this, Gu An felt pressured.

"Lv Baitian, you're actually still alive!"

Lei Zh spoke as he walked towards Lv Baitian, his voice booming like a bell.

He had a broad frame, clothed in spldid black robes, with a mysterious and fierce beast's head on his back, mouth containing pale thunder, adding an ev more domineering air to his appearance.

The sixte-year-old An Hao had grown taller, dressed in a tight blue robe, with long hair tied high, and two strands of hair flying like sword winds, his handsome face unable to hide the sharpness in his eyes.

Gu An felt gratified looking at how he had turned out.

He's really grown handsome, like me.

An Hao noticed his gaze and looked towards him, giving a slight nod.

"Lei Zh, do you wish for me to be alive or dead?" Lv Baitian's voice rose, his eyes remained closed, his tone ev more indiffert and pressuring than wh he faced Gu An.

Lei Zh stood in the hall observing Lv Baitian, narrowed his eyes, and said, "A Void Crossing Realm, it seems you were indeed affected."

Lv Baitian did not respond.

The atmosphere in the hall grew subtly tse.

Meanwhile, An Hao came by Gu An's side, transmitting his voice, "Brother, who is this Lv Baitian?"

Gu An looked at him incredulously.

You don't know yet you came?

An Hao th transmitted, "I was brought here against my will. My master asked Elder Lei to protect me, and we were evacuating, but suddly Elder Lei turned on us and brought me here."

Gu An couldn't help but transmit a message asking, "In their presce, do you think our Sound Transmission Skill is of any use?"

Upon hearing this, An Hao couldn't help but glance at Lei Zh.

Lei Zh's robes fluttered slightly as a terrifying aura brewed a him, ready to erupt at any momt.

"Lv Baitian, since you have faked your death, you'd better not come back. Supreme Sect doesn't need you."

After Lei Zh's words fell, the great hall's doors thunderously closed, and an immse aura veloped the tire hall, causing An Hao's breath to catch.

"In front of the junior, you want to make a move on me, a former Sect Leader?"

Lv Baitian's voice sounded, his eyes remaining closed from beginning to d.

Lei Zh stepped forward and said, "Let him witness the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation World!"

He suddly charged towards Lv Baitian, raising his right palm to strike toward the top of Lv Baitian's skull.

Boom!

The collision of two powerful Spiritual Powers created a terrible gust, shaking the tire hall violtly, while Gu An pretded to barely withstand it.

An Hao shifted his position to stand in front of Gu An, using his own Spiritual Power to contd against the pressure, protecting him.

This kid ...

Gu An looked at An Hao's figure in front of him and felt a surge of relief.

Although An Hao was only sixte, he had reached the Fifth Layer of the Foundation Establishmt Realm, and in terms of aura, Gu An felt that he was already not inferior to Cultivators at the Eighth Layer of the Foundation Establishmt Realm.

Unfortunately, he faced the aura of the Unification Realm.

An Hao clched his teeth, but ev so, he was forced to retreat by the combined pressure of Lei Zh and Lv Baitian.

Gu An seemed to sse something, his gaze shifting to the front, only to see Lei Zh, who was on the offsive, trembling all over, his aura rapidly weaking, while another aura was escalating at an exaggerated rate.

Lv Baitian!

"You... it's impossible..."

Lei Zh suddly cried out in shock, his tone incredulous and filled with despair.

The sitting Lv Baitian slowly stood up, his feet leaving the g as he levitated and looked down upon him.

Lv Baitian's expression was so cold.

Ninth Layer of the Void Crossing Realm!

Lv Baitian's Cultivation Level had soared several levels in an instant, not only that, but he was also breaking through to the Unification Realm. To be precise, he was merely releasing his true strgth.

An Hao too was captivated by Lv Baitian's figure, his eyes filled with astonishmt.

"You deceived me... Defying Fate Divine Skill!"

Lei Zh said with a trembling voice, a mix of shock and anger.

Lv Baitian looked down at him mockingly and said, "Lei Zh, you are still as impulsive as before. Your recklessness has caused the deaths of many, yet you never learn your lesson. Today, it's your turn to face the consequces."

"I was hoping to wait for Chu Tianqi to arrive, but you came to deliver yourself to death first. Since that is the case, I will accept your Cultivation Level. Don't walk too fast in the netherworld; Chu Tianqi will soon come to your company!"

As his words ded, Lv Baitian raised his right hand and pressed it against Lei Zh's forehead.

Lei Zh struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free, and not only that, Gu An could see his Primordial Spirit also struggling.

Lv Baitian was using an unimaginable Divine Skill to suppress and th devour Lei Zh's physical body, Primordial Spirit, and Spiritual Power.

Gu An watched with a heart pounding in terror.

What kind of Cultivation Technique was this?

Boom!

Lv Baitian's aura climbed to new heights, while Lei Zh knelt on the g, his body visibly withering away at a rapid pace, his wild black hair quickly turning .

First Layer of the Unification Realm!

At the same time, Gu An and An Hao felt the pressure on them sharply decrease as Lv Baitian began to conceal his aura, sparing them from difficulty.

An Hao let out a sigh of relief, standing in front of Gu An, quietly watching.

Gu An felt helpless in his heart; he had taught the boy too little. In such a situation, this kid didn't think to flee but instead continued to watch the spectacle, leaving Gu An with nothing to say.

Lv Baitian's aura soared higher and higher, while conversely, Lei Zh's aura rapidly declined, the trembling of the hall beginning to subside.

After a while.

Lei Zh's Spiritual Power was completely drawn out by Lv Baitian, and wh Lv Baitian withdrew his hand, his body fell backwards and th rolled down the stairs.

He struggled to lift his head, his weaked face filled with pain.

He raised his hand towards Lv Baitian as if to plead for mercy.

Lv Baitian lifted his right hand and flicked his index finger. A bloody Strgth Energy burst forth, piercing through Lei Zh's forehead, scattering his Primordial Spirit.

Gathering Spirit Divine Finger!

Gu An ssed that Lv Baitian's aura had reached the Third Layer of the Unification Realm, and there was still an outpouring of Great Spiritual Power within him.

That is to say, Lv Baitian's Cultivation Level was definitely more than just the Third Layer of the Unification Realm, which was why he was an existce that the tire Demon Path dreaded.

Gu An became secretly vigilant, afraid that Lv Baitian would go mad and attack him.

After all, Lv Baitian's son, Lv Xian, was not normal!

Lv Baitian ignored An Hao, looking towards Gu An with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and said, "How about it, do I now have the qualifications to eradicate the Demon Path?"

Gu An pretded to reply nervously, "You are the Sect Leader, you naturally can..."

He took a step forward, positioning himself in front of An Hao.

"Gu An, take me as your master, and you will be the next Sect Leader!" Lv Baitian looked down at Gu An, speaking in a tone that brooked no argumt.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was immediately troubled and responded with a wry smile, "Sect Leader, I am of mediocre talt; no matter how much you cultivate me, I could never achieve a Cultivation Level that would make everyone in the Sect truly convinced. The momt you pass on the leadership to me will be the momt Supreme Sect falls into chaos."

Lv Baitian gave a disdainful smile and said, "What if I were to transfer my Cultivation Level to you before my time is up?"

That ...

Gu An suddly found himself at a loss for words.

But he couldn't possibly accept the role of Sect Leader!

Ev the powerful Lv Baitian had be forced to fake death and pass on his position; Gu An certainly didn't want that trouble.

Besides, by the time Lv Baitian's time was nearing its d, his Cultivation Level might not represt much to Gu An!
