Peerless Taoist

It was like a thunderclap that struck everyone’s hearts. All the cultivators of the Ji Family were startled and rushed out of the door.    

At this moment, the entire Ji Family’s residence was covered in a thick black fog. It was as if the outside world had become a separate space, and one could not even see their fingers.    

“How dare you, the Dark Empress Sect, disobey the Imperial Court’s orders? Aren’t you afraid that the Imperial Court’s army will attack you?”    

The middle-aged man’s voice was loud and clear as he rushed out of the main hall and berated sternly.    

Behind the middle-aged man, the upper echelon cultivators of the Ji Family also had extremely solemn expressions as they rushed out of the door.    

Fear and nervousness flashed across everyone’s faces as they looked at the black fog outside the residence.    

At this moment, more than ten cultivators walked out of the black fog, and they were all wearing black robes.    

Although there weren’t many of them, their strength was quite formidable, and they faintly emitted an undying pressure.    

If one were to talk about strength, any one of these black-robed people could completely crush the entire Ji Family.    

“What Imperial Court? The Imperial Court that you speak of has long been destroyed. Joining the Dark Empress Sect is the right path, and it is also the only way for you to survive.” One of the black-robed people spoke with an extremely cold voice and looked down on everything as he sneered at the Ji Family’s people in front of him.    

In the eyes of these black-robed men, the Ji Family members before them were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.    

“Then you all can come and try. Let’s see if you are more powerful, or if my Ji Family will kill all of you!”    

The middle-aged man was not afraid. His eyes were shining brightly. “I forgot to tell you that we have already sent people to inform the Star Lord Palace. The army of the government will be here soon. You won’t be able to be arrogant for long.”    

The black-robed man suddenly laughed out loud, and his expression became somewhat distorted, as if he had heard a huge joke.    

“Imperial Court, your Imperial Court is probably too busy to take care of themselves. The Star Lords of your Imperial Court are all being pestered by the Sect Master of my Sect. This Central Capital will become the territory of my Dark Emperor Sect sooner or later, yet you all are still so naive to place your hopes in the Imperial Court?”    

The black-robed man laughed loudly, and his eyes were filled with disdain.    

In the entire cultivation world, strength was still the most important.    

The Ji Family’s overall strength was not strong. Even if all the experts of the entire family were gathered, they were still not a match for this group of black-robed men.    

“Forget it. Since your Ji Family is courting death and choosing to walk down a path of darkness, then don’t blame us.”    

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of this group of black-robed men were filled with endless coldness, and their voices were filled with killing intent.    

Everyone present was alarmed. The killing intent on these black-robed men was too strong.    

Even though they were very far away, they still felt a shiver down their spines.    

"Everyone, activate the formation with all your might. Open the protective formation completely. We must not let them in!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly.    

Following the Family Head's order, all the members of the Ji Family and servants released their magic power and poured it into the formation surrounding the residence.    

In an instant, the entire formation emitted an incomparably bright light, like a blazing sun in the sky.    

When the formation was fully activated, the black-robed men still maintained the cold smile on their faces.    

"So this is your confidence. It's just a formation. In your eyes, it is impregnable, but in my eyes, it is full of flaws."    

The black-robed old man in the lead said in a slow and careful manner.    

Suddenly, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his aura changed abruptly. Then, endless black magic spells ruthlessly fell down.    

Thump! Thump! Thump!    

In an instant, the thick and boundless magic spells were like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly smashed onto the light screen of the formation.    

The light screen of the formation immediately started to tremble violently, as if it could collapse at any time. However, this formation was able to withstand the impact in the end.    

The black-robed old man's magic power was quite long, and he only stopped after attacking for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.    

Fortunately, the formation of the Ji Family was still able to firmly defend against these attacks.    

“Interesting. I heard that your Ji family received a massive reward from the Great Qin Dynasty, and it seems that they’re using this formation. Even though the person who set up this formation is quite crude, the materials he used are of the highest quality. However, putting these materials in this formation is simply a waste of resources.”    

The black-robed elder suddenly yelled, “You don’t need to do anything; just watch as I break this formation!”    

After saying this, the black fog around the black-robed elder suddenly condensed into a black dragon. Its eyes gave off a terrifying red light, and its body gave off a peerlessly terrifying aura.    

After the black dragon condensed, it suddenly gave off a shocking roar and charged towards the formation with all of its might.    

This time, the black-robed elder had used his full strength.    

After using his full strength, the energy he gave off was simply enough to destroy the heavens and the earth. With a few cracking sounds, the solid formation was shattered!    

“It’s all for nothing. All of you Ji family members, die for me.”    

The black-robed elder looked at the shattered formation with disdain.    

As for the middle-aged man and the other members of the Ji family, they felt despair.    

This was only the black-robed elder’s attack, and the other black-robed people had not even attacked yet, yet they had already destroyed the formation.    

Without this barrier, the Ji Family would have to face the enemy head on. At that time, they would be the ones who would be in trouble.    

"Family Head, you take the women and leave first. We will cover the retreat!" An elder of the Ji Family stood out decisively.    

All the elders of the Ji Family stood out as well.    

The Ji Family had once been exterminated, and now, their numbers were dwindling. It was already difficult for them to survive. They did not want to experience another calamity of being exterminated.    

"Hahaha! You still want to leave? Don't even think about it!"    

The black-robed old man laughed loudly. He raised his hand and moved, directly sealing the surrounding void.    

From the backyard, waves of screams could be heard. There were actually people from the Dark Emperor Sect who had taken the opportunity to come to the backyard of the Ji Family!    

"Bastards! What methods do you have to come and attack us? Why do you have to make things difficult for the women?!" The middle-aged man roared.    

The black-robed old man sneered and said, "Cut the crap. I have already reminded you that if you do not obey, you will be exterminated! Today, I will use the Ji Family as an example to warn the rest. If I see that there are still any forces that dare not obey me, I will kill you all!"    

"Is that so? Then what will you do to me if I don't obey?"    

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the void.    

Lu Yu and Shangguan Wan'er landed in front of the black-robed old man.
