Chapter 463: Personal Disciples of Ling Yun Zong (4K4)
Chapter 463: Personal Disciples of Ling Yun Zong (4K4)
The platform was surrounded by mountains on all sides.
On a distant peak, two figures, one tall and one short, stood quietly observing the scene below.
The taller one wore a plain white robe with an intricate auspicious cloud pattern adorning the collar. Any cultivator from Nan Hong with even a bit of insight would recognize the garment and feel a sense of awe.
It was the attire of the Nan Hong Seven, the personal disciples of Ling Yun Zong.
The shorter figure was a youthful boy with red lips and white teeth, his demeanor gentle and his build rather round, giving him a slightly wealthy appearance.
He slightly parted his lips, taking in everything that had transpired below with his keen eyes. "Senior Sister Wei, what just happened?"
The boy, with only the sixth layer of Returning Void cultivation, could have instantly shattered the red-bearded, blood-clawed puppet, but he certainly wouldn't have been able to do so nonchalantly.
"..."
The tall girl furrowed her brows, a hint of confusion on her pretty face.
After a moment's thought, Wei Yuanling gently uttered a few words, "Tian Yan Si Jiu."
"He actually already learned a style of spirit law?" The boy exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide. "I remember Senior Brother Wei didn't do it that fast, did he?"
"What are you thinking? This person has just barely stumbled upon the entrance."
Wei Yuanling glanced at him, "My brother is not someone anyone can compare to."
Among the personal disciples, there was also a hierarchy.
Like this junior disciple, Li Yu, who had just become a personal disciple, naturally had much lower cultivation, while Wei Yuanling herself had already ascended the palace seven times, breaking through to the eighth level of Returning Void.
As for the senior brother they mentioned.
He was the personal disciple of the head of Ling Yun Zong, a prominent figure who had set foot on Bai Yu Jing.
"Senior Sister Wei, we took it upon ourselves to act, and someone died... Won't Senior Brother scold us when we go back?" Li Yu looked a little scared, as he had only come to watch the spectacle.
"What are you afraid of? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how will he know?"
"Moreover, I just told that guy with the surname Yang that Nanyang Zong couldn't protect them, and that they should borrow their heavenly treasures. I also borrowed them, so who let him make a move? I just wanted to mess this up. Is it wrong to say it privately? I had to pretend to be mysterious in front of the people of Nanyang Zong."
Wei Yuanling gave the boy a warning glare before turning away, "My brother has been waiting for so many years for a compatible treasure land, and now it's been snatched away by a nameless, unknown junior who appeared out of nowhere. How can I accept that?"
"..." Li Yu looked at her intently and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Wei is already the heir to Ling Yun Treasure Land. He doesn't need to compete with others. He just needs to wait for the head and the uncle-master to fall... Oops!"
"Anyway, I just can't stand it." Wei Yuanling thought of the whispers of those around her, and a nameless fire rose in her heart.
Why should someone with greater strength waste their lifespan?
While others could rely on luck to rise to prominence and obtain things that countless Bai Yu Jing cultivators dreamed of, causing the former to bow and salute them respectfully.
"If you dare to say this out, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wei Yuanling extended her hand threateningly, clenching her palm.
"It's not over yet?" Li Yu jumped in shock, looking at her in dismay.
"Of course, it's not over."
Wei Yuanling smiled mysteriously and suddenly reached out, tapping the boy's fingertip.
She transformed him into a chubby pig demon.
"You sneak into the demon crowd and teach that kid a lesson... Also, control the situation and don't let those demons really commit any atrocities."
"You know the consequences if you lose."
Seeing the expression on Wei Yuanling's face, Li Yu spread his two pig trotters and said in a daze, "What if I injure him? He is the head of the sect, after all!"
Even after witnessing Shen Yi's display of power, he still asked such a question.
Not out of arrogance.
But because they were the pride of the Nan Hong Seven, existing on an entirely different level from ordinary cultivators.
In their eyes, cultivation had an inherent distinction.
While ordinary cultivators struggled to break through to the next level, risking their lives, this group of personal disciples had their sights set on Returning Void perfection and even Bai Yu Jing.
All their foundations were prepared for the sake of traversing this heavenly path.
"Just make that kid lose face in front of these people, don't go all out." Wei Yuanling hesitated for a moment, her expression uncertain, but she soon regained her composure, "What head of the sect? It doesn't count until the Seven Sons Assembly is held!"
"Anyway, I can't beat you, so you're the boss. If something happens, you handle it." Li Yu shrugged dejectedly, his eyes then glowing with fervor.
After cultivating for so many years, he had never really fought a spirit law cultivator.
Li Yu was also curious to see if the so-called Tian Yan Si Jiu was as profound as the rumors claimed.
...
Gui Zong.
A few elders shuffled forward, their voices quavering, "Reporting to the Immortal Sect Executor, half a month ago, demons from outside Nan Hong attacked. We resisted with all our might, but they still destroyed the red-bearded, blood-clawed puppet. Fortunately, a friend from Qinghai Mansion happened to pass by. Not only did he temporarily repel the demons, but he also went back to ask for help from the Zhao family and many other allies."
"It was Yang Lin who found heavenly treasures elsewhere to repair this spirit puppet, which helped withstand the demons' counterattack until the allies arrived."
The situation was not complicated.
It was a fact that Gui Zong had been abandoned by Ling Yun Zong. Yang Lin's ability to find treasures elsewhere showed that he had leaned on a powerful force.
How dare they offend him? They couldn't help but wonder if they could find a new way out.
On the high platform, everyone held their breath.
The youth in the ink-colored robe had just made a chilling display of power.
And now, they took in his youthful appearance.
Could such a talented individual have been cultivated by a declining sect?
Even compared to the other proud talents of the Nan Hong Seven, he was not the slightest bit inferior.
"Reporting to the Immortal!"
At this moment, the elder from Qinghai Mansion, who had previously argued with Yang Lin, stepped forward and knelt, "We are situated in Nan Hong, under the protection of the Seven Great Immortal Sects. It is natural for us to feel anxious upon hearing such sudden news, and we were also influenced by that Yang Lin. We hope the Immortal will give us a chance to reform."
"We will wholeheartedly assist the Upper Sect in resolving their worries!"
"Sss."
The Chen family elders glanced at him silently.
They wondered if this man was stupid.
When Gui Zong had the upper hand, he wanted to help Nanyang Zong speak up. Now that Gui Zong was in trouble, he wanted to plead for the rest of them, even at the cost of dragging Qinghai Mansion into it.
Qinghai Mansion must be cursing their luck to have such a leader.
If they weren't exterminated, they wouldn't feel at ease.
"..."
Shen Yi's gaze swept over the elder, sizing him up.
The elder was quite powerful, at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, with a robust and stable aura. However, he probably wasn't much stronger than the Red-Bearded Blood-Clawed Puppet. In the Nan Hong Seven, he barely scraped into the threshold of an outer sect elder.
"What's your name?"
"Reporting to the Immortal, I am Jing Jingsong of Qinghai Mansion."
The elder coughed lightly, and as Shen Yi questioned him, he lost his earlier bravado, his voice lowering several decibels.
He looked afraid but was still trying to put up a front.
"Where are the demons?"
Shen Yi stood up and unexpectedly sidestepped the topic.
Jing Jingsong was taken aback but soon sighed in admiration. As expected of a genius from an Immortal Sect.
Even in such a situation, he remained impartial and fair.
In comparison, that fool Yang Lin was still bickering over power while the demons were at their door. He was short-sighted and deserved his fate.
Thinking of this, Jing Jingsong quickly stood up, "Reporting to the Immortal, we have already set up a grand formation, blocking the demons outside the North Goose Mountain. We gathered just now to discuss how to repel them with the smallest cost."
"Now with the help of the Nanyang Sect, we are even more confident."
"I'm afraid that with just your appearance, they will naturally flee in fear."
Jing Jingsong might be a bit straightforward, but he knew how to flatter.
But he never expected that after he said this, Shen Yi would retract his aura and glance at him, "Lead the way."
"..."
Jing Jingsong was stunned, a little confused, but he soon came to his senses and waved his sleeve, "What are you all waiting for? Quickly follow the Immortal to suppress the demons!"
As he spoke, the hundreds of people on the platform took to the air.
The hundreds of figures, along with various spiritual puppets, created a grand procession, and among them were even several auras at the sixth layer of Qi Refining!
In front of the Nan Hong Seven, these forces were merely appendages.
But in the outside world, any one of these families was a formidable power that would make wandering cultivators tremble.
At this moment, surrounded by them, Shen Yi stood in the air, exuding an aura befitting a leader of Nan Hong.
The Zhao family, who had kept a low profile, quietly observed this young Immortal.
To them, the name Nanyang Immortal Sect was extremely foreign.
This was probably the first time in ten thousand years that they had come into contact with a true cultivator from the Nanyang Sect... They could only guess the sect's current situation based on this young man's strength.
The group quickly headed towards the North Goose Mountain.
At this moment, outside the bloody cave filled with the stench of demons, a white pig demon that didn't quite fit in with the rest had somehow mixed into the crowd of over a hundred demons.
"Make way... Don't crowd me..."
Li Yu rolled his eyes and pushed away the stinky tiger demon next to him.
He stood boldly in the crowd of demons.
He wasn't afraid of being recognized.
In this area, there were only two kinds of demons that dared to provoke the forces protected by the Nan Hong Seven.
One had a deep background and was possibly connected to the Water Tribe.
But if such a force made a move, Gui Zong wouldn't have a chance to breathe.
The other kind was made up of reckless youngsters who had fled from Nan Hong.
The three sixth-layer Qi Refining brothers in the cave obviously belonged to the latter group. They were a group of defeated soldiers who had been humiliated in front of several Gui Zong forces and were now barely holding on.
The reason they stayed here was...
"Hmm?"
Li Yu lifted his pig head and looked towards the sky.
Suddenly, a dark crowd appeared above, and the sound of the demons' heavy breathing filled the air.
Figure after figure brandished their weapons, ready for a desperate battle.
From within the cave, two burly black rhino demons, as huge as mountains, stepped forward with ferocious expressions. They roared, "Don't panic! Protect my third brother! If he so much as scratches his skin, I'll take your lives!"
With the two black rhino demons taking the lead, the rest of the demons calmed down.
"Tsk."
Li Yu, amidst the demon crowd, watched the situation in the sky and unconsciously shook his head.
This was still not good enough.
Forget about being a sect leader, even an ordinary outer sect elder wouldn't lead their subordinates in such a disorganized manner.
They might look formidable, but in reality, they lacked any sense of strategy.
It was unclear how they were organized.
Just then, Li Yu's eyelids twitched as he noticed Shen Yi suddenly detach himself from the group.
Under the astonished gazes of the other three families, Shen Yi went alone, flying straight towards the demon cave!
"Don't mind what they're up to! Everyone, get a firm grip on your weapons!"
The two black rhino demons fixed their gaze on the rapidly approaching figure clad in ink-colored robes.
These cultivators were always full of tricks, and instead of being led by the nose, it was better to focus on their own affairs and adapt to changing circumstances.
"Yes!"
A deafening chorus of agreement reverberated through the North Goose Mountain.
As the hundreds of demons roared, crimson demonic energy soared into the sky, changing the color of the heavens.
These demons had escaped from the outside of Nan Hong and survived, each one a seasoned warrior!
Their eyes narrowed as they stared at the sky.
Then, their pupils suddenly shrank.
There were no cunning schemes or tricks, only the blood-red clouds that filled the sky, now speckled with golden lights.
Soon after, with a sizzling sound, those golden lights ignited, forming a continuous line that stretched from the heavens to the earth. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it descended to cover the area below!
It was not just a line.
It was an ocean, a fiery ocean shimmering with golden light!
The crimson demonic energy that filled the sky was instantly devoured, without even a ripple left in its wake.
In front,
Shen Yi stood atop the surging fire waves, the golden flame between his eyebrows becoming more and more solid.
The aura of a sixth-layer Returning Void cultivator permeated the area.
"Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Body?"
Li Yu slightly raised his eyebrows. There were quite a few common techniques among the Nan Hong Seven.
This Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Body technique was a rather ordinary one, not even considered a rare technique. Cultivators like them, who were personally taught by their masters, rarely wasted time on such techniques.
Unexpectedly, after cultivating it to perfection, it actually looked quite impressive.
The two black rhino demons' cultivation was clearly not inferior to Shen Yi's, but under the onslaught of the thick fire waves, their expressions gradually became solemn, and a hint of panic even appeared in their eyes.
"Third brother, help me!"
The two demons roared simultaneously, and as they spoke, two streams of blood light surged from within the cave, intending to enter the bodies of the two black rhino demons!
"Hmm?!"
The two demons did not feel the familiar bloodline empowerment.
Finally, they turned their heads, their eyes falling on the ink-clad youth who had somehow appeared behind them. With a casual flick of his sleeve, he intercepted the two streams of blood light, turning them into essence blood and storing them in his finger ring.
"You—"
The leader of the black rhino demons was stunned and furious, and the other rhino demon subconsciously looked up at the sky. However, a gentle breeze blew, dispersing the figure that had been standing atop the fire waves.
Before the second rhino demon could react, two heavy palms struck their backs!
It was a clash of cultivators at the same level.
A crisp crackling sound emanated from the bodies of the two black rhino demons, and their muscular, mountain-like figures were sent flying without even a chance to resist.
Impossible to see! Impossible to dodge! Impossible to block!
With the perfection of the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Body, the Tian Yan Si Jiu had reached new heights.
Boom—
The fire waves finally crashed down, and the demons, who had been prepared for battle, were instantly overwhelmed by a suffocating pressure that caused them to scatter in all directions.
The two black rhino demons took the full brunt of the palm strike.
Their sturdy demonic bodies almost shattered, and their first instinct was to stabilize their forms. They revealed their true forms.
Their bodies expanded, and the two huge demons, each spanning the North Goose Mountain, appeared in their full glory.
However, strangely,
Their heads remained the same size.
This was because in front of them, a slender figure in ink-colored robes had appeared, and his white, slender fingers were gently pressing against their foreheads.
Those ordinary-looking palms seemed to have transformed into boundless curtains of night.
Obscuring the demons' vision.
Leaving only a pair of clear eyes.
