The greatest fear that Cang Anyu was that the Cmity Fiend might target the great hall and thus the most important people within it.


    But that wasn''t all either as the Great hall had a lot more to it than just a ce of gathering. It represented the face of the sect and even had a lot of treasure hidden within it.


    If it was damaged or destroyed, the sect will not be able to recover easily.


    "Quick! Quick!" Cang Anyu shouted.


    ~BOOM~


    But just before they were a short distance away from the Great Hall, it copsed!


    ~SCREECH!!~


    A distorted, inhuman screech could be heard echoing across the sect,ing from the rubble of the Great Hall.


    The rubble was pushed apart as a being rose from the ground. It''s body was covered in ck scales of various kinds and had tens of eyes on it head. Its mouth was filled with rows upon rows of sharp teeth and long sharp tusks jutted out of it.


    But that wasn''t all, as several hundred tentacles also rose from between the gaps of its scales. The tentacles were of various kinds too, some having a mouth, some having a sharp spike while some just being smooth.


    The guest finally saw the Cmity Fiend with their own two eyes.


    While many had heard or even seen its portraits before, watching it in front of them was an entirely different experience. After all, a portrait only showed the appearance of a being. It could not capture the aura, scent and presence of a being.


    All of which was overwhelming after gazing at the Cmity Fiend.


    "This… is massive…" A few of the guests felt faint just from seeing the towering creature.


    "You!" Cang Anyu had already turned red with anger and was finding it hard to contain it.


    "Well, well, well…" Then much to their surprise the massive being in front of them spoke.


    "I knew I smelled something delicious to the north. Didn''t expect to find an entire feast set up for me. I feel honored." The Cmity Fiend spoke, its tone nearly filled with ridicule.


    "Enough! Do you really think you can continue to live on after this! You foul fiend!" Cang Anyu roared.


    "Patriarch Cang is right, you''ve broken all limits! You''ve offended us as well!" The two Dao Treading realm elders of the Long n shouted.


    The old man and woman were passive at the start, but seeing how the cmity fiend had directly targeted the Great Hall, they knew it wasing for them.


    "Ah~ I like it when my prey''s angry. Adds a little extra spiciness." The Cmity Fiend spoke and stared directly at the Long n elders. "I must say… I''ve missed the taste of your n''s snakes." It said while a long tongue seemingly licked its mouth.


    "Humph! Offending the Long n is the worst mistake you can make!" The male Long n elder said before attacking.


    He pulled his fingers apart like a w andshed out. Arge w imprint formed in the air and targeted the Cmity Fiend.


    In response, the Cmity Fiend flicked one of its many tentacles towards the w. It rapidly expanded in the air before transforming into a w of its own!


    This w wasn''t illusory and was rather nefarious looking. ck dripping nails tipped the fingers and crimson veins could be seen all over its palm.


    "HAAA!" The male Long n elder increased his force seeing the Cmity Fiend respond.


    He didn''t want the fiend to have any chance of resisting, but he had underestimated it.


    ~CLANG~


    w struck against w and sparks flew.


    ~RIP~


    The w Imprint actually managed to rip into the flesh of the Cmity Fiend''s w and dark blood seeped out.


    The guests watching it found it impressive. After all, everyone knew the Long n was the strongest existence in the Long Continent and each of their nsmen was quite strong too.


    The ones here were especially great, being Dao Treading realm elders.


    "Oh? Seems like I need a little more effort." The Cmity Fiend spoke, seeing that its attempt at resisting was failing.


    ~shua~shau~shua~


    Tens of tentacles writhing around his body merged together, turning into an evenrge tentacle. It rapidly rushed at the w Imprint and transformed into a sharp pincer just before reaching it.


    ~SNIP~


    The sound of a scissor closing could be heard as the pincers closed around the w imprint.


    "What!?" The Long n elders were stunned. "How can you stop the Azure Dragon w which can even rip through the defenses of a high grade spirit armor?"


    "Stop? I can do a lot more than that." The Cmity Fiend responded by transforming the pincer into a pair of jaws and directly swallowing the two parts of the w Imprint. "Yum, nothing like some freely used Qi skill."


    "It swallowed it?" the normal guests watching it were stunned.


    ~CRACKLE~


    ~BUZZ~


    ~BOOM~


    But just while everyone was reeling in from the absurdness of the Cmity Fiend''s actions, they saw a lightning bolt strike it.


    ~THUD~


    One of the tentacles was directly sted apart from the middle and half of it fell down with a loud thud.


    "Elders, we''ll need to be a lot more proactive this time." Shirong spoke, his face sharp.


    Arcs of lightning streaked across his body while strong gales were forming around him as well. The Crystal Spear in his hand was simrly covered with electricity and was letting out a powerful aura.


    "Sea of Cang Lan!" the patriarch agreed by directly attacking the Cmity Fiend.


    The blue and green sea surrounded the fiend and made it look smallpared to it. The sea water surged, threating to drown the Cmity Fiend.


    "Junior Shirong is right," The female Long n elder spoke and stood in a narrow stance.


    Her arms were positioned like taut pythons ready to attack while streaks of spirit Qi swirled around them.


    ~cough~cough~cough~


    But just as everyone was getting ready to attack, a bout of coughing was hearding from the rubble.


    "Cang Qing!"
