Chapter 1458: Saving an Old Acquaintance, Reflecting on the Past (Part 1) Chapter 1458: Saving an Old Acquaintance, Reflecting on the Past (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations “Who's there?!
Dare to meddle in the affairs of the Immortal Calamity Sect?!” In an instant, the air grew heavy with a sharp and lethal aura, manifesting from seemingly nowhere.
The leading black-robed cultivator, his expression fierce, shouted angrily into the void.
The four other black-robed figures, who had just been preparing to ensnare Immortal Chiling with their calamity-forged chains, were struck by an inexplicable unease.
They immediately retreated into the distance, transforming into black wind and regrouping.
Immortal Chiling, cradling his unconscious junior sister in his arms, froze in shock.
He had been prepared to sacrifice his life and unleash his ultimate technique, but this sudden turn of events left him stunned.
He glanced around the cliff base, his heart flickering with newfound hope.
Yet, that hope was quickly tempered by a wave of anxiety.
These five members of the Immortal Calamity Sect were all True Immortal-level powerhouses with terrifying strength and sinister methods.
Even if help had arrived, unless it was from equally formidable allies, it might simply drag the rescuers into a dire situation alongside them.
Still, Chiling clung to this fragile glimmer of hope.
Bearing the blood feud of the Feng Tian Immortal Sect, he couldn't let this chance slip by.
As long as there was the faintest chance of survival, he would seize it to exact his vengeance.
“Besides,” he thought grimly, “if the rescuers are overpowered, I'll stay behind to cover their escape.” With a heavy heart, he resolved to see what fate had in store.
A deep, resonant hum reverberated through the air.
Before the stunned eyes of everyone present, two figures descended gracefully from the sheer cliff face, their presence serene yet commanding.
The newcomers were none other than Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Who are you?!
This is Immortal Calamity Sect businessaEUR”interfere, and it'll be your funeral!” barked the leading black-robed figure.
His piercing gaze scrutinized the newcomers, immediately sensing that they were no ordinary individuals.
Meanwhile, Chiling stared at the figures, his expression suddenly dazed.
A wave of familiarity swept over him, though he couldn't immediately place it.
“Immortal Calamity Sect?
Never heard of it,” Jiang Chengxuan said calmly, his voice steady and unimpressed.
The five black-robed cultivators exchanged wary glances, their expressions darkening as their leader prepared to retort.
However, before they could act, Shen Ruyan moved slightly, startling them.
They instinctively prepared their defenses, summoning their powers in haste.
To their surprise, Shen Ruyan completely ignored them.
Instead, she turned and flew toward Immortal Chiling.
Under the light that filtered into the valley, Chiling's mind suddenly cleared, and recognition dawned on him.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
“It'saEUR it's you!
Jiang Daoist, Shen Daoist!” he exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement.
Joy surged through him, so overwhelming that his entire body shook.
To find salvation at the brink of despair was a miracle in itself.
But to meet old friends under such circumstances was a blessing beyond comprehension.
His earlier concerns melted away.
He remembered vividly how formidable Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had been nearly ten thousand years ago.
If they were so exceptional back then, what heights must they have reached now?
“Immortal Chiling,” Shen Ruyan said gently as she landed nearby, “give this pill to Feng Daoist immediately.” She waved her sleeve, and a shimmering medicinal pill floated toward him, carried by her immortal power.
Recognizing the urgency, Chiling wasted no time.
He accepted the pill and carefully administered it to his unconscious junior sister, channeling his own energy to help dissolve its effects.
In moments, an extraordinary life force radiated from the young woman's body.
Misty tendrils of vitality enveloped her, healing her injuries at an astonishing pace.
Her pallor receded, and her complexion grew rosy.
Even the insidious calamity energy that had invaded her meridians dissipated in trails of black smoke.
Watching this miraculous recovery, Shen Ruyan nodded in satisfaction.
She hadn't anticipated that their act of mercy would reunite them with an old acquaintance.
Fate truly worked in mysterious ways.
“How can this beaEUR ” the black-robed figures murmured amongst themselves, their gazes fixed on Feng Daoist.
Her rapid recovery had left them stunned, and their eyes gleamed with greed.
To possess such a miraculous pill was unthinkable.
If these two strangers could casually produce such treasures, what other riches might they carry?
Having long since grown accustomed to pillaging under the Immortal Calamity Sect's banner, the five cultivators exchanged knowing looks.
Their leader discreetly signaled the others, and in an instant, the group launched a coordinated sneak attack on Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Turn calamity into weapon!” The air erupted with violent turbulence as black winds surged and calamity mist roiled, transforming into an overwhelming tidal wave of destruction aimed directly at the pair.
