Chapter 214: The Fall of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, Partitioned! (Part 1)
Chapter 214: The Fall of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, Partitioned! (Part 1)
"Win, win?"
"This..."
"Incredible!!!"
At this moment, the intertwining divine souls in the void finally reacted, realizing that they could communicate.
The intense battle had been too fierce and ferocious, causing everyone to forget about communication, even holding their breaths to avoid making noise and causing a special impact.
Now, they finally calmed down.
But they all grimaced.
"Moon Embrace Sect, what a Moon Embrace Sect!"
"It has truly established itself."
"What do you mean by 'established itself'? No, I feel like... this Moon Embrace Sect seems to have surpassed its peak already!"
"???"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Moon Embrace Sect's peak period had over ten thousand spirit mountains and millions of disciples. Now, it only has a few hundred spirit mountains and tens of thousands of disciples. How could it surpass its peak?"
"No, it's different. You're talking about people and resources, but I'm talking about strength!"
"It's common knowledge that before this, the Moon Embrace Sect's peak period was believed to be the time when its founding ancestor was still around. But even during that time, the Moon Embrace Sect only had a few Ninth Realm experts, right?"
"Not bad. The reason it became a top-tier sect was entirely because its founding ancestor was strong enough and heaven-defying. Although he was only at the Eighth Realm, he could sweep through numerous powerful enemies and even contend with Ninth Realm experts in a short time..."
"So..."
"Hiss!"
As they communicated, they all realized.
"Therefore, if we don't consider resources and only look at the top-tier battle strength, it seems like..."
"!!!"
"It's not just that, but also connections!!!"
As they chatted, they felt a chill down their spines.
Suddenly, they realized something was amiss.
"Holy shit!!!"
Something's not right with the Moon Embrace Sect! Everyone thought they were in decline, but now it seems like they've taken a few steps forward, but in reality, they're about to surpass their peak!
Only because they don't have a founding ancestor as powerful, who could single-handedly fight Ninth Realm experts.
Otherwise... they would have truly surpassed their peak!
"This Moon Embrace Sect is too uncanny!"
"Indeed."
"Of course it's uncanny, otherwise, how could they bring down the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty?"
"Speaking of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, everyone thought it was just an ordinary member among the numerous immortal dynasties in the North Region. If not for today's battle, who would've known that there were so many secrets hidden behind it?"
"Who could've imagined that the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty had concealed so many powerful experts?"
"After today, the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty will become a land without a master, right?"
"Although the Moon Embrace Sect is powerful, it's ultimately a sect from the Southwest Region. Even if they conquered the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, they wouldn't travel all the way to relocate and occupy it; otherwise, the other powers in the North Region wouldn't agree to it.
For a moment, they fell silent.
From the beginning of their observation until now, everyone's emotions had gone through many ups and downs, countless times.
Initially, they treated it as a spectacle and a joke.
Later, they were shocked by the Moon Embrace Sect disciples' abnormality, their extensive connections, and then terrified by the hidden strength of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty.
And then... Li Changkong's sudden revelation left everyone thinking the Moon Embrace Sect was doomed.
Although the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty suffered significant losses, it would only become stronger after some time.
Li Changkong alone represented an era!
But suddenly, everything turned cold!
Even the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty would become a land without a master, this was a great opportunity.
As 'spectators', they were 'eating melons' (a Chinese idiom for being an onlooker).
"Wait!"
"Who was it that intervened at the last moment, restraining Li Changkong and severing his arm?"
"Do you guys have any clues?"
"How the hell should I know?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Speaking of which, it had been a rollercoaster ride. Everyone thought Ya Ya and the others were doomed, but suddenly, there was a twist, and the most crucial part was that no one saw how it all happened.
No one knew who had made the move.
Only Lu Ming understood.
At the same time, the spectators realized something was amiss.
"Hey? It's that Second Realm kid."
"Isn't he dead?!"
"You must've arrived late. If you had been watching earlier, you'd know this kid has died countless times, but he always pops back up, full of life."
"But..."
"What is he doing?"
"I have no idea!"
They were speechless and perplexed.
They watched as Fan Jian Gang pouted, holding a bizarre object that, to Lu Ming, resembled a vacuum cleaner, running wildly through the imperial capital, frantically 'sucking'.
Meanwhile, Fan Jian Gang muttered, "Oh no, I've lost a lot, I've lost a lot!"
"I've used my two most precious talismans. What will I do now?"
"Waaah."
Lu Ming: "..."
"So, his one-stop superdegree service has upgraded?"
Although Lu Ming hadn't seen Fan Jian Gang's actions before, his understanding of him allowed him to be certain that he was preparing for the subsequent 'superdegree matters'.
After all...
Having dealt with so many powerful experts and mighty beings, how could he be at ease without a proper superdegree?
Lu Ming didn't bother responding to him.
He let Fan Jian Gang do as he pleased.
Then, he walked towards Xiao Ling Er.
Under the effects of the Revitalizing Pill, their injuries were gradually healing. Although they couldn't recover within a short time, they still possessed a formidable strength that couldn't be ignored.
Seeing this, the others also gathered around.
Xiao Long Nu's heart raced with excitement, and she also wanted to move closer, but she was worried that the Great Elder would stop her.
Sneaking a glance, she was startled to find that the Elder had already vanished without a trace.
"Huh?!"
"So, I can go over now?!"
Her face lit up with joy.
She skipped over excitedly.
At the same time, the Elder, who had already left, smiled, "This Moon Embrace Sect is indeed quite interesting."
"These disciples..."
"They are all exceptional."
"The Holy Mother should be able to rest assured."
"..."
...
The members of the Moon Embrace Sect gathered, including Lu Ming, Ji Chitong, Long Ao Jiao, Chaos Heavenly Boar, and the two Royal Families who had come to their aid.
At this moment, as they stood together, each of them exuded a murderous aura and their blood energy soared into the sky. Even without consciously focusing on their appearance, they still gave off a sense of foreboding, as if warning others to stay away.
The great battle...
had finally come to an end.
The royal family of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty had been completely annihilated.
The resistance forces had been suppressed and eliminated.
Now, there were many cultivators within the Immortal City, a mix of good and bad. It would be chaotic for a while, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
"Ya Ya, do you want to continue?"
Xiao Ling'er looked at Ya Ya.
The latter pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "Let's end it here."
"My brother's grudge..."
"There's a head to the injustice and a debtor to the debt."
She raised her head and looked up at the sky.
It seemed as if she could see a shadow of the Ferocious Empress slowly fading away.
In her heart, she thought, "In the end, I'm not that Ferocious Empress."
"My heart isn't ruthless enough, and my strength isn't strong enough."
"I can't annihilate an entire Immortal Dynasty in the blink of an eye."
"But I'm also luckier than the Ferocious Empress. At least, I still have my Master, and so many fellow disciples who care for me..."
"It's just that, brother..."
"In the end, I couldn't wait for your return."
At this moment, the Ferocious Empress's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
There was a head to the injustice and a debtor to the debt, she didn't want to kill the innocent.
Her brother died because of the royal family of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, so to avenge him, she had to destroy the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty and kill all the members of the royal family. Anyone who stood in her way or supported them had to die!
These were the necessary actions.
As for leaving no one alive in the entire Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty...
Sigh, she couldn't do that.
"But this is also good."
She muttered to herself, "This way, I won't be the Ferocious Empress from the book, I'm luckier and happier than her, at least I still have my sect, and I don't need to feel that desperate..."
...
"That's good too."
Xiao Ling'er nodded slightly, "Although we can continue fighting, overthrowing the entire Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty won't be easy. Let's end this grudge here."
"As for the future arrangements of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty..."
She looked at Qin Yu and Xu Fenglai.
Then she turned to the two princes.
Their faces turned slightly red, "Miss Xiao, it's embarrassing to say, but our two families have too many troubles in the Four Immortal Dynasties, and we're being targeted. So, we want to move to a new place."
"This Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty is currently unclaimed, and we're thinking of moving here. We don't intend to establish a new dynasty, we just need a place to settle down."
This was their goal.
It was also the plan of Qin Yu and Xu Fenglai.
It wasn't about taking advantage of the sect, but rather going with the flow and benefiting both parties.
After all, they had also contributed, and they could lend a helping hand. Moreover, they would have to work to receive and occupy these territories themselves.
"Miss Xiao, please rest assured."
Xu Fenglai clasped his hands, "We have no intention of taking advantage of your sect."
"We're just forced into this situation and have no other choice."
"After this, our two royal families will offer a 'small token of gratitude', and we hope your sect won't refuse it."
After so many years of experience, they were naturally not ignorant of social etiquette.
Although Xiao Ling'er wasn't the sect leader, she was the senior disciple of her generation.
At this moment, it was natural for them to discuss with her as the main decision-maker.
Whether they had come to take advantage or were forced into this situation, they had still taken advantage, so they had to offer something in return.
"You two are too polite," Xiao Ling'er said, "We're all family, why be so formal?"
"Moreover, the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty is in the northern region, and our Moon Embrace Sect's influence doesn't reach that far. We never intended to claim it as our own."
"But we can't just say that!"
"Whether we can handle it is one thing, but who the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty belongs to is another matter." Qin Wang smiled, "We'll quickly send people to inventory the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty's treasury and deliver it, along with our 'small token of gratitude', to the Moon Embrace Sect."
"I wonder if Miss Xiao would like to accompany us?"
"... Sure, let's go take a look."
Xiao Ling'er nodded, "Wait a moment."
Then she looked up at the sky and said in a cold voice, "We're not hiding our conversation from others. This land of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty was conquered by us, so naturally, we have the final say in its arrangement!"
"If you dare to snatch it..."
"We'll pay a visit another day."
Her voice wasn't loud.
But the threat in her words was exceptionally strong, overflowing from her words.
Most of the onlookers sighed upon hearing this, feeling helpless.
But there were also those who transmitted their voices, saying, "The Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty is too big, they definitely can't handle it alone! And you're not afraid that they'll take over everything?"
"They can't handle it alone, but if you want a share, you'll have to wait until they're done!"
Xiao Ling'er didn't back down.
Most of the onlookers felt displeased, but at this moment, they couldn't say much, and could only accept it.
Xu Wang and Qin Wang exchanged glances, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes.
Originally, they were worried that their two families might not be influential enough.
But with the Moon Embrace Sect's support, they didn't need to worry too much.
They might even be able to occupy more territory and resources than they had imagined.
"But this feeling is indeed strange."
Xu Wang was still fine.
Xu Fenglai had only recently joined the sect, and when he did, the Lanyue Sect had already begun to show signs of its potential.
But Qin Wang's heart was filled with mixed feelings and countless thoughts.
"Thinking back to when my son first joined the sect, the Lanyue Sect was nothing more than a flick of the wrist away from destruction. The reason I had my son pay respects and join the Lanyue Sect was also because it allowed my son to cultivate normally..."
"But I never imagined that after just a few years, the Lanyue Sect would become so powerful."
"Even my Qin Royal Palace has to rely on its influence."
He sighed.
He lamented the unpredictability of life.
After warning the various underlings, Xiao Ling'er thanked Lu Ming, Long Ao Jiao, the Chaos Heavenly Boar, and Ji Chitong, saying, "Thank you, fellow cultivators, for helping my sect and helping Ya Ya."
"This great kindness is beyond repayment."
"Ling'er has no other talents. I only have some talent in alchemy, so if any of you need pills in the future, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide them!"
"Ya Ya thanks you."
Ya Ya bowed deeply in gratitude.
Today, if just one person was missing from this gathering, the outcome might have been rewritten.
She was naturally grateful and held everyone in high regard.
"Such a close relationship."
The Chaos Heavenly Boar was the first to grin and say, "As for me, cough, the Beast Taming Sect I'm in is in dire need of pills, especially those high-grade ones you have."
"No problem," Xiao Ling'er replied with a smile. "Market price at 80%."
"Sounds good!"
The Chaos Heavenly Boar chuckled and said, "After I return, I'll tell those rabbit brats. Whether they buy or not is up to them."
"Hmph."
Long Ao Jiao, as always, was full of arrogance, crossing her arms and saying, "Why bother mentioning it?"
"By the way, after you return, make me two furnaces of Ninth Rank Fusion Pills."
Xiao Ling'er: "..."
She was already familiar with Long Ao Jiao's style, so she couldn't help but smile.
"I'll pass."
Ji Chitong waved her hand and said, "Good, but rest assured, I won't take advantage of you either. You'll understand soon enough."
Lu Ming: "..."
(ω)
He really wanted to say, "You've already taken advantage, haven't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "Perhaps you're indeed not here for our sect, but it's a fact that you helped with all your might, even self-destructing your Mystic Gates..."
"After this, I'll think of a way to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill. I think it should be able to heal your injuries..."
"No need."
Ji Chitong lightly waved her hand. "I have my own way to recover."
"If you truly want to express gratitude and don't want to owe me, just give me some cultivation and soul-stabilizing pills, and oh, if there are pills to deal with demonic cultivators, that would be best."
"Oh?!"
Xiao Ling'er nodded slightly. "Those types of pills are indeed very rare, but I can try."
"Then that's good."
Ji Chitong smiled and said no more.
Xiao Ling'er then said to Lu Ming, "As for you, Lu Ming..."
She let out a bitter laugh. "I really don't know how to repay you."
"In terms of alchemy, you're still above me."
"Ya Ya has some secret techniques," Ya Ya said. "If you're interested in any of them..."
"Then I'll choose one."
Lu Ming didn't feign refusal.
Although Ya Ya knew all the techniques herself, she couldn't just openly use them, right? If she learned one more, wouldn't that be enough?
Ya Ya smiled and winked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming winked in response.
Ya Ya knew Lu Ming's identity, so she was happy to play along with this act.
"Junior Brother."
Afterward, Xiao Ling'er said to Su Yan, "Although I don't know that fellow cultivator, today he has helped us greatly. After we return from this trip, Senior Sister will prepare some pills for him, so please deliver them to him, okay?"
"Senior Sister is too kind, it's just a small matter," Su Yan grinned.
But he couldn't speak the truth.
Should he say that he had already paid the points, and this was a transaction?
"..."
She had expressed her gratitude where it was due and said what needed to be said.
After that, Xiao Ling'er and the other Lanyue Sect disciples, along with the people from the Qin Royal Palace and Xu Royal Palace, went to the national treasury to open it and tally their gains.
Lu Ming was also looking forward to this, as the strength of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty was truly formidable.
And they had hidden their treasures deeply.
If not for the fact that almost all of his disciples were experts, and he had even invited some expert reinforcements, today's battle would have been impossible to win.
With such formidable strength, the national treasury of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty must have many treasures, right?
However, his current identity was not that of a Lanyue Sect disciple, so it wasn't appropriate for him to follow them.
Moreover, Ji Chitong was also waiting for him.
The two bid farewell and then walked side by side through the wilderness.
Watching the gradually repairing sky and feeling the glow of the setting sun, they remained silent for a long time.
Until the moonlight descended.
