With some apology, he addressed the other Elders:

"Everyone, I am really very sorry. Mainly, my body really can't hold on, otherwise, I could stay a bit longer."

"No problem."

Having guarded this place for so long, these Elders knew each other well and understood the condition of this Elder's health.

Letting him rest first was the best solution.

"No way!"

But just as the elderly Elder wanted to change shifts with He Kun, a young Elder's voice suddenly rang out.

The young Elder wore red clothes, exuding an aura that made him resemble a fierce horse in fresh attire. He had competed with Yuan Lue for the position of Saint Heir but fell short and thus didn't become the Saint Heir of Yuanling Sect.

As soon as the young Elder spoke, the other Elders turned their attention to him, and one Elder rebuked the young Elder discontentedly:

"Red Horse, what's the matter with you? Elder Can Yue is old, he's the first to falter during the guard duty, letting him rest, nobody has objections. You can't be saying you, being so young, can't hold on as well, right?"

As soon as this Elder spoke.

The other Elders also voiced their dissatisfaction towards Red Horse.

Can Yue did not leave; he glanced at Red Horse, then shook his head, revealing a good nature, and said softly: "No harm, young man, children tire easily, let Red Horse rest for a while; it's no problem."

"That's not it."

Red Horse shook his head, his piercing gaze fixed on He Kun, and he addressed all the Elders present:

"Don't you feel something is off? He Kun might not really be He Kun!"

"What?"

Upon Red Horse's statement, the other Elders directed their wary gaze towards He Kun.

Initially, not many were aware of the issue with the entrance of chaos; it was only within their small circle. Their vigilance had long faded.

Seeing He Kun approach, they didn't think much, just assumed He Kun was here to change shifts.

But when Red Horse voiced this, the Elders present felt something was amiss, and they focused their gaze on He Kun, scrutinizing him carefully.

Upon closer inspection.

They discovered that the strength He Kun possessed was somewhat different from usual.

Though ordinarily He Kun gave off a sinister feeling, today it was far more pronounced, and there was an added aura.

Can Yue, among these individuals, was one of the oldest; he was familiar with and understood the aura of every person here. Upon slight observation, he immediately discerned the anomaly.

He promptly reminded the others:

"Red Horse is correct, he is indeed not He Kun. There's an aura on him that doesn't belong to He Kun, and there's a particularly volatile power surging within him! It's a power that exceeds… Peak Heavenly King Realm!"

Upon observing this, Elder Can Yue's face instantly changed, his voice amplified as he shouted to alert the other Elders present:

"Everyone, be careful!"

"His strength is formidable!"

Elder Can Yue's warning prompted all the Elders to look at He Kun with vigilance, powerful energies emanating from them, ready to erupt at any moment.

If He Kun showed any signs of abnormality, they would act immediately to directly subdue him.

Red Horse looked at He Kun and addressed him:

"He Kun, perhaps we all misunderstood you, but we still hope you can leave for now. When Sect Master Yuan returns, you can come back with him."

Elder Can Yue also tried to persuade He Kun alongside him:

"Correct, we can all manage for a while longer. I know you may not actually be abnormal, but for now, it'd be better if you step out."

"Haha."

Upon hearing the voices of Elder Red Horse and Elder Can Yue, He Kun couldn't help but chuckle and then burst into wild laughter.

He seemed as if he was about to laugh so hard he would bend over.

After laughing for a while, Elder He Kun looked at Elder Red Horse and Elder Can Yue, mocking them: "The two of you, since you don't believe me, why not say so right from the start?"

"Why bother being so wishy-washy?"

As Elder He Kun spoke, his face continuously changed; a faint transformation in aura instantly turned into numerous shifts.

His face constantly morphed into Zhang Yanling's face, then again changed to He Kun's face.

Elder He Kun's entire being was imbued with the power of the Catastrophe Dao.

He Kun was actually a traitor from the Yanling Sect within the Yuanling Sect. When He Kun had previously gone out, Zhang Yanling had manipulated his mind, so when Zhang Yanling was on Earth Star, he forcibly descended into Ling Star Yuanling Sect through He Kun's body.

"I initially intended to use a gentler approach to take over this place, but I never expected you all to discover me. So now, I'll have to deal with all of you present."

Zhang Yanling directly returned to his own appearance; with his identity revealed, Zhang Yanling had no intention of continuing to disguise. With a menacing look, he addressed the Elders before him.

"Everyone, let's go together and directly suppress him!"

Elder Red Horse didn't say anything more; a horse with a full mane of red hair appeared above the nine heavens, and directly charged towards Zhang Yanling's location with immense force.

Elder Can Yue also raised his hand; a crescent moon suddenly appeared within the nine heavens, casting down its moonlight imbued with the power of the Great Dao, capable of purifying everything in this world.

Besides.

The Elders of Yuanling Sect present also took action, attacking towards Zhang Yanling's location.

"Not bad, not bad."

Seeing so many Elders attacking toward himself, Zhang Yanling's expression showed no worry, instead displaying a hint of a smile.

His gaze towards these Elders seemed not to regard them as attackers but as if looking at a delicacy he was about to savor.

The stronger the Elders proved, the more joyful Zhang Yanling's smile became.

"The strength is quite impressive."
