Martial Peak

In the middle of the night in East Star City, only the sounds of dogs barking and babies crying could be heard from time to time.

Under the moonlight, Yang Kai was standing on top of a tower and looking down with a pair of eagle-like eyes.

Below the calm surface was a violent undercurrent.

The people from Grand Qi Temple and the disciples from White Lotus Sect had hidden themselves in this small city, but they seemed to be aware of each other’s presence.

An hour to midnight, the first conflict broke out. It ended just as quickly as it started though and nothing much had been affected.

However, the second and third conflicts soon followed.

An hour after midnight, the battle was in full swing and carnage could be seen on every street of East Star City.

All of the citizens shut their doors and wouldn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Just then, a high-pitched sound was heard coming from a particular direction. Yang Kai’s eyes turned ferocious as he looked in that direction.

Booms were continuously heard coming from over there. As the World Energy surged, more than ten figures engaged in an intense battle. Lights flickered following the use of different Secret Techniques.

Despite the long distance, Yang Kai could immediately see a middle-aged woman who was clad in white robes.

She was none other than the White Lotus Matriarch!

White Lotus Sect was founded a long time before Grand Qi Temple. The current Sect Master of White Lotus Sect was this White Lotus Matriarch, who was known for her ruthlessness. Countless Sects had been destroyed on the continent because they had offended White Lotus Sect.

Although those from Grand Qi Temple had launched several attacks to kill White Lotus Matriarch, they hadn’t managed to achieve their goal so far as she was cunning and elusive.

Just like they had expected though, the White Lotus Matriarch had really appeared to host the sacrificial ceremony in East Star City.

At this moment, she was leading some of the powerful Masters from White Lotus Sect to break through the siege. Unfortunately, several Vice Temple Masters from Grand Qi Temple had joined forces to stop them, so they were unable to break free for the time being.

With that said, the White Lotus Matriarch was one of the most powerful cultivators on the continent. Although the Vice Temple Masters from Grand Qi Temple were fairly strong themselves, they were unable to keep her trapped for long.

After several exchanges of moves, one of the Vice Temple Masters was wounded by a sword. A violent force exploded in his body, rendering him powerless to fight. It wasn’t certain if he could survive.

Yang Kai leaped off from the top of the tower and flew towards them like an eagle.

While in mid-air, he lifted his spear.

In that instant, the White Lotus Matriarch felt cold all over her body. When she turned her head, her expression changed drastically. She threw the people around her away without any hesitation and as a glint flashed through her blade, a sword wave slashed at Yang Kai.

As Yang Kai flourished his spear, and the sword wave shattered. Blood started streaming out of a wound on his face that was caused by the remnant Sword Qi, yet he did not even bat his eyes as he continued with his attack.
