Chapter 1471 The Identity of the Witch Soul Master Is Discovered

Since it was a tribulation, some succeeded and some failed. Although the Void Entry Tribulation was not the most dangerous among the various realms, countless people died in it every year. Now that the thunder was so violent, if he was directly struck dead, even if Master Yang cherished his disciple, he could only blame him for not knowing his limits and would never hold the Zhang family responsible.

Of course, the prerequisite was to act cautiously and not reveal any flaws!

"What should I do?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Wuchen said.

Although the Grand Elder's approach was morally questionable and despised by renowned masters, it was absolutely the best choice for the family.

This Zhang Xuan had been in the Zhang family for only about a day, yet he had already turned everything upside down, causing immeasurable losses. If allowed to continue, the foundation of the first family, built over tens of thousands of years, would be destroyed in an instant, becoming a laughingstock across the entire continent.

"Restrain him so he cannot dodge... With his current strength, he cannot possibly withstand such fierce thunder and lightning!"

The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes.

Although this Zhang Xuan's strength was not weak, it was far from enough to resist such a massive Void Entry Tribulation. If they silently restrained him and let the lightning concentrate its attack on him, it would surely reduce him to pulp!

"Moreover, we must act quickly; otherwise, once the Hell Azure Dragon and the Qilin discover it, there will be no more opportunity!"

His two beast pets both possessed the strength of the Saint Domain Ninth Layer Void Space Realm. Once detected, they would surely cause a huge uproar, making it impossible to conceal.

"Yes!" Zhang Wuchen nodded.

"You go activate the clan's formation to provide power for the thunder, allowing it to gather greater force. I will find a way to seal the surrounding space so he cannot escape!"

Nodding, the Grand Elder gave his instructions secretly.

Glancing around, he saw that the core buildings of the Zhang family had been further damaged by the thunder tribulation. Zhang Wuchen took a deep breath and nodded.

If this guy did not die, their Zhang family would be completely destroyed. Rather than waiting to be dismantled, it was better to strike first!

"The family reduced to such a mess... it's like twenty years ago..."

Sighing inwardly, he hesitated no longer and leaped toward the very core of the family.

Twenty years ago, a变故 occurred: the family head's wife, Dream Sword Saint, caused a great disturbance, destroying countless buildings and injuring more than half of the elders. Although this time seemed much smaller in comparison, with no elder casualties so far, it still brought shame upon the entire Zhang family.

Boom!

Controlling the formation, the surrounding spiritual energy rapidly gathered toward the dark clouds in the sky. The mass that had shrunk after being absorbed earlier received replenishment, growing larger and more ferocious.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xuan, covered in soot, frowned.

He was already struggling to withstand such violent power; why was it increasing again?

His Insight Eye wriggled as he looked around, and he immediately saw the spiritual energy of the entire Zhang family rapidly converging into the dark clouds, causing them to expand swiftly and the thunder to become even more formidable.

"Is the Zhang family trying to attack me?"

At this moment, even a fool would understand. His face darkened, and just as he was about to dive back into the thunder to avoid the attack, he felt a tightness around his body, as if bound by a huge rope, unable to move an inch.

"Space pressure..."

His body stiffened, and he immediately understood what was happening.

A top-tier expert had completely sealed the surrounding area with spatial power. Even though he had reached the peak of the Void Entry Realm and his understanding of space was no weaker than, or even stronger than, that of the Void Cave Realm, he was still powerless against this force!

The gap was too vast; they were not even on the same level.

Rumble!

With his body restrained, he saw the thunder in the sky roar violently, about to gather its full strength and strike down again.

"Damn it, if such a powerful force falls, I definitely won't be able to withstand it..."

Veins bulged on his forehead, and sweat soaked his clothes.

Even though his physical body was now comparable to a top-grade saint artifact, the thunder tribulation surpassing the Void Space Realm was still too terrifying. If it truly struck, he would surely be unable to hold on, ultimately dying and leaving no chance for salvation.

"It's him..."

He quickly turned his head and saw the Grand Elder floating not far away, a cold expression on his face.

The power restraining him was emanating from the Grand Elder.

It seemed that this Grand Elder intended to kill him!

"If this continues, I will surely die. I can only try to delay the thunder and slow its gathering speed!"

His entire body's power surged, but he found himself unable to break free. Although Zhang Xuan was anxious, he did not panic.

With his strength, it was impossible to break free from the restraint left by an expert like the Grand Elder. The only way to resolve the immediate crisis was to slow down the thunder's gathering speed, or even... make it lose its strongest attack power!

And to achieve that, there was only one method... frantically absorb the lightning contained within!

"The gourd, the vines, and the clone are all absorbing, but their speed cannot keep up with the replenishment from the Zhang family's formation. Unless..."

Knowing that time was of the essence, Zhang Xuan no longer cared whether he would be discovered. With a thought, his witch soul immediately emerged from between his brows.

The opponent had only restrained his physical body; the witch soul, being formless and intangible, would not be restrained.

Whoosh!

As soon as the witch soul appeared, it rushed straight into the thunder.

"What is this? A witch soul?"

The Grand Elder's divine sense was powerful, and he had complete control over the surrounding space. He immediately noticed something amiss, his pupils contracting: "You are a witch soul master?"

Witch soul masters had once betrayed humanity and were not tolerated by the Master Teacher Hall. Wasn't this guy a student of Master Yang and a master teacher?

How could he possess the ability of a witch soul?

"Stop!"

Raising his brows, he grabbed at the air.

Ssshh!

A crack appeared in the sky, and a surge of power rushed straight toward the witch soul, carrying a burning sensation.

This power was extremely yang and strong. An ordinary witch soul would melt upon contact and be completely dissolved. But Zhang Xuan's witch soul, which was not even afraid of thunder, how could it fear such power? With a light shake, its figure became ethereal and slipped through the power.

It continued charging toward the thunder.

"This..."

Unexpectedly, his full-force attack did not harm the opponent. The Grand Elder's face darkened.

Earlier, the opponent was a master teacher, so it was not easy for him to act. Now that he discovered the opponent was a witch soul master, he could no longer hold back.

Ssshh!

A sword qi surged from his fingertip as he pointed into the void.

Space was torn apart like paper, and the sword qi seemed to break through the shackles of time, arriving in front of the witch soul in an instant, carrying a sensation that burned the soul.

Unexpectedly, this guy was so relentless. The witch soul of Zhang Xuan's face darkened, and he also formed a sword with his fingers and met it.

Ding ding ding!

The two sword qi clashed. Although Zhang Xuan's power was far inferior, his understanding of the sword path was deeper, and he used skillful force. Upon contact with the opponent's sword intent, the latter immediately changed direction, flying straight upward and plunging into the thunder.

Boom!

Struck by the attack, the thunder expanded again, growing even larger. Then a thick bolt of lightning followed the sword qi, striking down directly toward the Grand Elder's head.

"What?"

The Grand Elder's face twitched.
