Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Not Good, Discovered
Emperor Faith City, Wang’s Mansion.
The hall was brightly illuminated, with moonlight cascading down. In a secret chamber, two middle-aged cultivators, bearing a resemblance to each other, sat facing one another.
One of them was the Clan Leader of the Immortal Cultivation Clan, the Wang Family, Wang Wenxian. The other was his cousin, Wang Wenxuan.
Both men were above the Divine Realm in Immortal Technique Realm, with Wang Wenxian in the late-stage Divine Realm and Wang Wenxuan in the mid-stage Divine Realm. They were not weak at all.
"Brother, you called for me?"
Wang Wenxuan cupped his hands and said.
"Wenxuan, you must be aware of what happened in the Pill Treasure Hall."
Wang Wenxian said in a deep voice.
"Jing Chen’s affair, my condolences, Brother."
Wang Wenxuan replied.
"Jing Chen’s matter is insignificant. The real matter concerning the rise and fall of our Wang Family is now looming before us."
Wang Wenxian looked at Wang Wenxuan and continued, "Everyone knows that the reason our Wang Family was able to rise was due to the former Hall Master of Qingxu Sect’s Pill Treasure Hall.
As such, after the previous Hall Master fell, we aligned ourselves with his son, Master Dan Jun.
Under his protection, our Wang Family attained its current prestige.
But now, Master Dan Jun has lost favor, and the position of the next Hall Master has been stripped from him.
We must make a choice.
Should we continue to align with Master Dan Jun, or look elsewhere."
"Brother, do we even have a choice?
In recent years, we’ve been involved in that affair. We can’t turn back now."
Wang Wenxuan said with a bitter smile.
"Indeed, there’s no turning back."
Wang Wenxian sighed, but a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, "If not for that, how could our Wang Family have developed so rapidly?
So we can only continue down this path, assisting Master Dan Jun, eliminating Bai Ziyue.
As long as Bai Ziyue falls, Master Dan Jun can secure his position as the next Hall Master.
Our Wang Family will then enjoy at least several centuries of stability and rapid growth."
*It seemed like he was trying to convince himself, his gaze growing more resolute, occasionally flashing with ruthless intent.*
"Brother, just tell me what to do?"
Wang Wenxuan’s heart tensed, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Immortal cultivators were decisive and couldn’t afford any hesitation. Having made up his mind, Wang Wenxian wasted no time, directly instructing, "There’s news from Qingxu Sect, Bai Ziyue has already set out and will soon pass through our Emperor Faith City.
I’ve already informed Qingyue Square, but they reported that they need time to dispatch someone.
So, I need you to secretly track Bai Ziyue as he passes through Emperor Faith City, and relay information when necessary.
Your Concealment Technique has always been effective. Bai Ziyue, being merely early-stage Divine Realm, won’t be able to detect you."
"Alright."
Wang Wenxuan’s expression grew solemn as he nodded in agreement.
"Also, unless it’s crucial, do not act.
Bai Ziyue’s identity is, after all, extraordinary. There will surely be Sect experts investigating afterward, and mishandling it could bring disaster upon oneself."
Wang Wenxian sternly reminded once more.
"Don’t worry, my Concealment Technique has never been detected."
Wang Wenxuan replied with a confident smile, then turned and left.
...
In a sea of flowers on the plains, a group of over twenty people was fleeing in panic.
All of them wore Daoist robes and held Spiritual Artifacts, their faces seemingly filled with fear.
Among them, three wore dark yellow Daoist robes, standing on Flying Swords at a considerable speed, all of them were strong cultivators at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm. Yet, within this group was someone in a purple-black Daoist robe, whose aura surpassed everyone else’s. Only, he seemed seriously injured, his aura was obscure, his face waxen, and he flew only a fraction faster than the other three.
This was indeed a strong cultivator at the early-stage Divine Realm.
A master at the early-stage Divine Realm, with over twenty Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters, would naturally be unimpressive at Qingxu Sect, a top-tier Immortal Technique Sect. However, in a small sect or an Immortal Cultivation Clan, they would unquestionably be considered powerful.
But at this moment, their expressions were somewhat frantic, their steps hurried, as if a ferocious entity were chasing them from behind.
"Whoosh..."
The sound of something breaking through the air came from a distance.
Immediately after, several cultivators clad in black robes, like lightning, rushed toward them.
"Watch out!"
"They’re here."
The group’s speed abruptly increased, as if they had regained their strength.
"Look, there’s someone ahead."
"We are saved!"
Cries of excitement rang out.
Their spirits were lifted, and their speed involuntarily increased even more. Even the early-stage Divine Realm Master, who appeared severely injured, showed a flush of excitement.
"Fellow Daoist, save us.
We are from the nearby small Immortal Technique influence, Qingyue Square. We encountered an ambush by Demon Sect cultivators while escorting a shipment.
Please, fellow Daoist, help us."
As he spoke, his speed increased further still.
At this moment, the three black-robed Demon Cultivators at the Divine Realm Level seemed to grow anxious, all of them pushing their speed to the limit, reaching the group of Enlightenment Realm disciples in just a blink.
"You won’t escape."
"Die!"
Ruthless voices echoed, chilling the heart.
Five thousand meters, four thousand meters, three thousand meters...
All were charging straight toward Bai Ziyue.
"Demon Cultivators? I’ve loathed Demon Cultivators all my life, watch me lend you a hand."
Bai Ziyue let out a low shout, his body moved, and he immediately leaped off the tiger’s back.
"Yes, it’s the demon cultivators, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist. I am truly grateful."
The cultivator became more excited, the red glow on his face grew even more pronounced.
"No need for formalities."
Bai Ziyue smiled mysteriously, a flying sword instantly shot out from his body, glimmering like a stream of light, rushing directly towards the cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you?"
The red glow on the cultivator’s face intensified, as he sensed the sharpness of the flying sword, he shouted angrily with surprise and rage.
"Naturally, it’s to slay demons and eliminate evil," Bai Ziyue said with a calm smile.
"Not good, we’ve been discovered."
His expression immediately changed dramatically, a violent force surged out madly, and blood-red light nearly enveloped his entire body, suddenly evolving into a sea of blood wrapping him inside.
But it was useless.
Bai Ziyue’s lifebound flying sword was crafted from extremely precious materials and forged using smelting akin to the Golden Core True Fire, inherently powerful beyond measure.
Now utilized with his pure, abundant divine thought power, its might was further greatly enhanced, so that the Beiming Flying Sword’s power, even if it couldn’t dominate among Dharma treasures at the Divine Realm level, was definitely top-tier.
The sea of blood was torn open almost instantly.
Then the sword flickered.
"Pfft!"
His head was instantly pierced.
Fallen!
"The Workshop Master is dead?"
"So fast?"
"His strength is really that strong?"
A group of Enlightenment Realm cultivators was stunned.
Their Workshop Master was also at the early-stage Divine Realm of the Immortal Technique Realm, and what he cultivated was top-tier demonic cultivation technique, the Blood God Technique, naturally stronger than cultivators of the same realm. Even when facing mid-stage Divine Realm cultivators, he had a chance against them.
Yet here, in front of Bai Ziyue, he couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike and fell within an instant?
"Quick, form the array!"
"Array, activate!"
However, very quickly, some cultivators came to their senses and quickly shouted.
Thus, more than twenty Enlightenment Realm cultivators, as if having rehearsed a thousand times, instantly merged their aura and formed a massive battle array as one.
Once the battle array appeared, clusters of pitch-black mist immediately manifested in the void.
The black mist condensed, suddenly transformed into a giant black tiger roaring to the sky.
With the emergence of the black tiger, its aura surged, directly breaking through their realm limits, reaching the Divine Realm level.
Early-stage Divine Realm, peak of early-stage Divine Realm, mid-stage Divine Realm...
"Roar!"
The black tiger roared, charging out like a sandstorm, rushing toward Bai Ziyue to tear him apart.
"Roar..."
*At this moment, the White Tiger Great Demon was furious.*
*When two tigers fight, one must be injured.*
*As the Tiger King, it naturally didn’t want to see another tiger-type Great Demon roaring wildly before it.*
Especially knowing that this black tiger was evidently just an evolution of the battle array, even if its aura exceeded it, reaching mid-stage Divine Realm, it lacked intricacy, so it naturally had nothing to fear.
"That useless waste."
"Couldn’t even withstand one strike."
"Go ahead, never counted on him."
The last three Divine Realm demon cultivators wore icy looks and also acted immediately.
A blood saber turned into a sky-piercing giant saber, dazzling as it slashed down.
A white bone long spear shot through the air like an arrow, reaching the extreme speed, leaving a white trail in the void that lingered for a long time.
A black cloth banner drew countless spirits, making the entire flower sea feel like a ghostly hell, creating a chilling atmosphere as flowers on the ground quickly wilted.
And with four Main Souls leading these spirits, they rapidly swept towards Bai Ziyue.
"A peak of the Divine Realm, two late-stage Divine Realms, not weak indeed.
However, still not enough!"
Bai Ziyue murmured, realizing that his last display of skills had indeed caught the demon cultivators’ attention.
Thus the demon cultivators sent this time could indeed be considered strong.
But to him, it was meaningless.
The flying sword pierced through space like a glimmer of light.
The exceptionally small flying sword instantly collided with the massive blood saber.
"Boom!"
With a loud collision, the blood saber instantly snapped into two pieces.
Then the flying sword, without losing momentum, rapidly shot towards the demon cultivator.
Simultaneously, Bai Ziyue pointed out with his hand, a mass of spirit light filled with the power of life and annihilation swiftly rushed out, directly landing onto the white bone long spear.
Divine Technique, Silent Extinction Divine Light!
Zzz...
The white bone long spear, extremely sharp, slightly paused as this divine light fell, moments later it crumbled, shattered, and was completely obliterated.
The Silent Extinction Divine Light rapidly followed the direction of the white bone long spear.
Then, Bai Ziyue’s heart movement summoned the sky full of five-colored flames, like wrapping the entire void, evolving into a massive furnace.
Regardless of any specters, all were instantly incinerated completely.
