/ Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats Chapter 1425
Chapter 1425: Bluffing in Desperation Chapter 1425: Bluffing in Desperation Editor: Henyee Translations In an instant, the members of Azure Cloud Sect felt as though an immense, invisible weight was pressing down on them, a dark cloud settling heavily in their hearts.
“Red-Beard Immortal, coming to West Province with such a force, don't you think you're being overly aggressive?” Azure Cloud Immortal's eyes flickered, but rather than showing fear, he rose into the sky, his aura concealed as he confronted Red-Beard Immortal, his voice cold.
Seeing Azure Cloud Immortal's fearless stance, Red-Beard's sneer widened, and he responded, “HahahaaEUR I simply thought that this place had already been abandoned by Azure Cloud Sect.
I came here only to inspect the aftermath of the catastropheaEUR I didn't expect such a misunderstanding.” Although he had decided not to withdraw, Red-Beard Immortal also knew he couldn't leave himself open to criticism.
Besides, Azure Cloud Immortal's words invoked the support of all of West Province as a shield.
If he forced his hand, it would mean setting himself against the entire West Province.
“Heh.” Azure Cloud Immortal snorted coldly.
“Then why don't you, Red-Beard Immortal, simply lead your people out peacefully?
I am well aware of the state of Azure Cloud Province; your investigation is unnecessary.” At his words, the area fell into silence.
Red-Beard Immortal remained silent, his smile lingering.
Their gazes clashed in mid-air, sparks seemingly igniting between them.
If no treasure had surfaced, Red-Beard Immortal would not have gone out of his way to confront them; but with such a prize at stake, a confrontation was inevitable.
The truth was that, without an Earth Immortal, Azure Cloud Sect was in no position to contend with the Scarlet Dragon Sect.
Azure Cloud Immortal found himself trapped.
They could not fight but could not flee either.
Abandoning their ancestral land to be plundered at will was a bitter humiliation, a thought that turned the faces of Azure Cloud disciples red with anger.
As one of the leading factions in the immortal realms, Azure Cloud Sect had never faced such disgrace.
“Scarlet Dragon Sect, I will remember thisaEUR One day, there will be a reckoning!” Azure Cloud Immortal finally said after a prolonged silence, his face dark with anger as he addressed Red-Beard Immortal.
“Master!” “Master!” cried the Azure Cloud disciples sorrowfully, and even the elders' brows furrowed in frustration.
Azure Cloud Immortal's decision had left them seething with indignation.
Red-Beard Immortal and his sect members looked puzzled, surprised by this abrupt end to what had seemed a brewing conflict.
They knew what a bitter insult this was for Azure Cloud Sect, and yet Azure Cloud Immortal had swallowed it?
“Let's go!” Azure Cloud Immortal's face remained stony as he barked the order, his tone allowing no resistance.
As their leader, he had to think beyond pride, knowing full well they were no match for the Scarlet Dragon Sect at the moment.
It was better to retreat and seek aid from Jiang Chengxuan later for revenge.
Without waiting for the disciples to react, he swept his sleeves, preparing to lead them back the way they came.
As they moved away under the mocking stares of the Scarlet Dragon Sect, Azure Cloud disciples bit back their anger, reluctantly following suit.
“Oh?” Just then, Red-Beard's eyes gleamed, staring intently at Azure Cloud Immortal's retreating figure.
His insight quickly pieced together the truth: his opponent was bluffing, and there was no real strength behind it.
“Boom!” As Azure Cloud Sect's members prepared to leave, Red-Beard extended his hand, summoning the forces of heaven and earth to form a massive, invisible palm spanning miles, reaching down toward them.
Feeling the crushing pressure, Azure Cloud disciples halted as the immense power bore down on them, its force slicing through space.
Earth Immortal strength was terrifying indeed, far beyond what True Immortals could resist.
“Azure Sky Umbrella!
Release!” “Falling Cloud Seal!
Release!” “Boundless Azure Ring!
Release!” The Azure Cloud Sect elders, anticipating an ambush, were ready.
They immediately activated their immortal treasures, launching them skyward against the massive palm.
Azure energy surged as mystical blue lights filled the air, forming translucent azure screens.
An enormous azure umbrella, crafted from torrents of azure energy, expanded, reaching a width of a hundred miles, spinning and stirring the clouds.
It was the first to clash with Red-Beard's palm, setting off cyclones and azure waves.
Despite its imposing presence, Red-Beard's Earth Immortal power was immense, and the umbrella quickly shrank under the pressure, causing its wielder's face to flush with strain.
“Boom!” The other two elders' treasures arrived just in time: a colossal seal manifested, layered like a world unto itself, and a blazing azure ring split the sky, tearing through the fiery red aura and cleaving the massive hand.
Together, these powers managed to push back Red-Beard's attack.
“Red-Beard!
What is the meaning of this?” Azure Cloud Immortal shouted, his face ashen with fury.
“Are you truly set on starting a bloodbath today?” His unyielding spirit sent shivers through the Scarlet Dragon Sect elders, who exchanged uneasy glances with Red-Beard Immortal.
“HahahahaaEUR So, that's it!” Red-Beard laughed with a gleam in his eye, his voice tinged with delight.
“Azure Cloud, you're weakened, aren't you?” A gasp went through the Scarlet Dragon Sect members, while Azure Cloud Sect stood in shock.
Azure Cloud Immortal's face turned deathly pale.
“Did you lose your Earth Immortal power in the catastrophe?” Red-Beard continued, mercilessly prodding at the exposed wound.
The truth settled heavily over the crowd as silence fell, broken only by the crackling of summoned energies in the air.
Azure Cloud Immortal knew that now his secret was out, any attempt to conceal it was useless.
Rage simmered inside him, but he had no way to fight back.
“Is there any need to press us so harshly, Red-Beard Immortal?
Let's keep the peace,” one of the Azure Cloud elders said, stepping up to stand with Azure Cloud Immortal, his voice steady.
Red-Beard narrowed his eyes, curbing his triumphant smile only slightly.
In an instant, he unleashed another surge of Earth Immortal power, summoning a red mist stretching across a hundred miles that took on the terrifying essence of his dao, descending like an inescapable net.
“For everyone's safety, I'll ask you to stay put here,” he said, his voice dripping with arrogance as his power bore down on them.
“Once I have the treasure, you may go on your way.” Without mercy, his oppressive force slammed down on Azure Cloud Sect, leaving them immobilized in its grasp, fear and frustration clouding their minds.
