"He's now at the late stage of the fifth rank, and after using the Holy Radiance Orb's ability, he should be able to reach the peak of the sixth rank."

"Instantly constructing a sixth-rank sacred technique, and doubling it at once, judging by his performance, it shouldn't be difficult."

"His guardian actually has eighth-rank strength! And the bond between him and the guardian is so deep, the two can transmit divine power to each other. Doesn't this mean that in the realm of spiritual power and divine power, he has eighth-rank strength?"

"I've never seen or heard of that sacred technique. Was it newly created by Ming God? Or was it his own creation?"

"Lao Yan's salary can't last long."

After a few exchanges, silence fell in the dimly lit room.

"Although unexpected, he's still accomplished the task." After a while, someone said.

"Therefore, it's too hard for me to accept."

"Alas." Several high-ranking officials of the Radiance Supremacy Sect sighed one after another.

This time, they used Ding Lu as bait. Their original intention was to lure Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi out, kill them if they could, and test their current strength if they couldn't, so they could plan for the future. But deep down, they knew that this time, there was a high probability that Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi wouldn't be able to get rid of him.

Ji Jiayu was the person in charge of the Sacred Gem, and his every move would surely attract the attention of the Sacred Sect. And the Great Prophet had said he wouldn't protect the Ming Immortals of Ji Jiayu's Sect, but would he really not send them?

Ji Jiayu didn't know, and neither did the upper management of the Radiant Supremacy Sect. They didn't dare take the gamble. Furthermore, Qiming City had the Chief Priest Ming Jin, and the Radiant Supremacy Sect, which had been hit hard after the Sacred City incident, couldn't bring so many Ming Immortals to take the risk.

Fortunately, however, Lao Yanxin's sacrifice conveyed a key message to them: from now on, the Radiant Supremacy Sect had no chance of dealing with Ji Jiayu through raids or assassinations.

There's no way at all. The matter...

"Implement the divine plan." A high-ranking Taoist from the Light Supremacy Sect.

"Agreed." Another high-ranking official.

"Once we begin implementing the divine plan, there's no turning back. The Holy Sect will surely purge us with thunderous force."

"The Holy City is gravely ill, and we are doing this for the sake of our descendants! The Holy Sect and the Light Race must not become vassals of humanity, and the Holy City must not be ruled by humanity! The Bright is the best, and the rest are inferior!"

"For the sake of the Bright Clan, I am willing to bear all the infamy and sin, and only ask that our descendants survive for generations!"

One by one, the top leaders of the Light Supremacy Sect were determined, and then issued a resolution to implement the divine plan with a 100% approval rate.

The high-ranking officials of the Light Supremacy Sect on the scene were not the strongest in the sect, but they were the best at strategizing and preaching. Once they collectively gave the order, the entire Light Supremacy Sect would immediately take action.

"Come, let our Guangming Clan become great and holy again. Drink this cup!"

"After today, we may not meet again, but eventually, we will meet again in the bright world!"

"Light is supreme, the rest is inferior!"

"Let the Guangming Clan become holy again!"

Ji Jiayu was a little tired and couldn't help but pant. He and Nie Lanhu could indeed share divine power, but compared to Nie Lanhu, his divine circuit was too narrow and too short, and it couldn't accommodate so much divine power at all. So when divine power surged from the outside world, bursts of scorching pain would also hit his heart.

I don't know if there's a divine technique that can lessen the pain, but it's not a solution to constant pain...

Ji Jiayu was thinking silently when he suddenly noticed Peng Lianyun and Ding Lu quickly moving away.

Immediately, a little anxious, he turned to look at Nie Lanxi.

Nie Lanxi immediately understood and increased his divine power output.

Ji Jiayu's pressure increased sharply, and the pain surged, but he endured it. While his mental strength surged, his techniques rapidly formed one by one, and three holy sword techniques were constructed.

The holy light blade roared and flew towards the light wall used for labor.

The light wall had already been impacted by the celestial light and was already unstable, but now it was accurately struck by the light blade in its vulnerable spot, and fine cracks spread rapidly, showing signs of breaking.

The light of the celestial realm seeped through the cracks, instantly transforming into sharp light needles and soaring into the light wall.

Lao Yanxin constructed a rotating light shield beside him, but it had little effect. As more and more heavenly light seeped in and transformed into light needle catapults, he began to be injured by the light needles' penetration.

He was a priest, not as tough as a priest, with holy skin and holy bones, and the intense pain affected his spiritual power, which in turn affected the holy art he had cultivated, bringing him to the brink of collapse.

Ji Jiayu took the opportunity to condense his spiritual power in one place, affecting Lao Yanxin's Sacred Technique and accelerating its collapse.

However, at this moment, Lao Yanxin took the initiative to unleash all his techniques, condensing his spiritual power into a drill bit, causing it to spin and crash into Ji Jiayu's spiritual power.

"Ah!"

The spinning drill bit pierced Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, and the pain from the depths of his soul made Ji Jiayu scream. At the same time, a celestial light easily penetrated the collapsed light wall and ended his life.

Lao Yanxing didn't even have time to say any last words, but his deathblow left an unforgettable impression on Ji Jiayu for the rest of his life.

Mental trauma is far more terrifying than physical pain!

Ji Jiayu subconsciously withdrew all his spiritual power into his body, but Nie Lanhui, who was beside him, stopped him: "Put all your spiritual power into the Sacred Light Pearl."

Ji Jiayu did not hesitate and did as instruct.

After Ji Jiayu poured all his spiritual power into the Sacred Pearl, a strong sense of comfort swept over him, as if he had suddenly been immersed in a hot spring in the middle of winter. The warm and comfortable feeling greatly relieved the pain caused by the mental injury.

"The Sacred Pearl possesses powerful healing powers, for both the body and the spirit," Nie Lanxi said, "Let's study it. I have no combat experience whatsoever." Who told you that you could take the initiative to attack his sacred technique? Do you really think your mental strength is invincible?

"I'll find out next time," Ji Jiayu said bitterly.

"If it weren't for the Holy Light Pearl, where would you have a next time?" Nie Lanxi said mercilessly.

"Let's sum it up later. Let's chase after Ding Lu and the others first." Ji Jiayu endured the pain and staggered towards the darkness.

"Don't think about it in this state, it's impossible." Nie Lanxi grabbed him, "Go back to recuperate first, then talk about it."

"But..."

Before Ji Jiayu could finish speaking, Nie Lanxi had already turned to look at him, and her indifferent golden eyes conveyed a message: Today, you can leave if you want to, and you must leave if you don't!

In Nie Lanxi's eyes, Ding Lu and Peng Lianyun had nothing to do with him. Only Ji Jiayu was the most important person, the only person he could see.

"Okay..."

Ji Jiayu stared at him for a few seconds, and finally had no choice but to compromise. He felt a pang of guilt in his heart: It was all his fault, or... he has too little combat experience!
