Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1307 - 776 The Counterattack of Lingxu Cave_2
Chapter 1307: Chapter 776 The Counterattack of Lingxu Cave_2
Thus, as they meticulously arranged things, from many inconspicuous places, a number of unfamiliar figures quietly streamed in.
Zhenning Prefecture’s border.
With the Immortal’s assistance, it began to show signs of life just like Heavenly Tower Mountain months ago.
The townspeople donned new clothes and gathered around the well to drink heartily.
A man wearing hemp clothes slowly walked in, neither taking food nor drinking water. He glanced lightly at the rough houses around and smirked slightly.
The man leisurely walked to the base of a large tree and sat against it.
An old man noticed his oddity, hesitated for a moment, and handed over half of the cake from his hand: "Fill your stomach?"
In the past, at Zhenning Prefecture, such a thing was simply unimaginable.
"Life is getting easier."
The old man grinned, revealing a mouth full of broken yellow teeth.
The man raised his eyes, glanced at him, and did not reach out for the cake but said indifferently, "What if this good life doesn’t last long?"
Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then his face contorted with rage. He snatched back half the cake and glared fiercely at the man in front of him.
Saying such inauspicious words is akin to cursing at a funeral.
The people who had originally gathered around the well also silently surrounded him, clenching their fists and glaring coldly at the man under the tree, until the area was completely blocked off.
The good life granted by True Monarch You Yao couldn’t possibly disappear so easily!
"Get out!"
Somebody let out a low growl, and the others echoed.
A group of people, as thin as skeletons, akin to living corpses, pressed closer step by step.
"Tsk."
The man leaned leisurely against the tree, only standing up slowly when someone raised a fist.
Suddenly, Immortal Light flashed by, turning his hemp clothes into the simple robes of a Lingxu Cave disciple in the blink of an eye.
"No intent to curse you."
He waved his sleeve, respectfully placed a statue of a figure stepping on black clouds under the tree, and lightly carved with his fingertip on the tree trunk: "Can you read?"
The refugees were stunned by the change, standing dumbfounded.
"Memorize this name, if changes occur, recite this true name, it might protect your lives."
The Lingxu Cave disciple gracefully walked out of the crowd and headed toward the outskirts of Zhenning Prefecture.
The refugees stared blankly at the tree trunk: "Taixu... True Monarch."
Before they could react, angry voices erupted behind them.
"Bold! You filthy lot dare to step onto my Master You Yao’s domain!"
A Qingguang Mountain disciple noticed the anomaly and rushed down from the sky. Seeing what had transpired, his face reddened: "What are you still looking at, courting death? Disperse immediately under my order!"
With that, he raised his hand and sent a clear light toward the statue beneath the tree, intending to blast it into dust.
Yet, the clear light twisted and dissipated halfway there.
Seeing this, the Qingguang Cave disciple nearly laughed angrily. He hadn’t even sought trouble with this person, yet the Lingxu Cave dared to act so arrogantly.
With the disparity between the two sects, when outside, Lingxu Cave always avoided Qingguang Cave; today, this flipped the heavens.
In an instant, his fingers glowed with clear light, ready to strike once more when suddenly his palms halted in mid-air.
A Celestial Sword had already found its way to his neck.
"Go ahead, move against my True Monarch’s statue and see what happens?"
With a Celestial Sword in hand, the Lingxu Cave disciple lightly slapped the opponent’s cheek with the flat side, chuckling coldly with unprecedented boldness.
In the past, even with a higher cultivation than the opponent, he wouldn’t dare provoke. But ever since witnessing Uncle Taixu casually slay five Bodhisattvas on Heavenly Tower Mountain, things had changed.
"You..." ƒrēenovelkiss.com
The Qingguang Cave disciple sensed the Tribulation Power within the sword, looking enraged yet daring not to move.
Only now did he realize the changing circumstances for Master You Yao in the North Continent.
Even the subservient Lingxu Cave dared to cause trouble on their turf now!
What he didn’t know was that this scene wasn’t unique; similar situations were occurring throughout the vast Four Mansions.
Wanting to inform Senior Yun Miao that things had changed, he could only reluctantly put away the Jade Slip under the icy blade.
After a short while.
A roaring demon howl rang out from afar, yet clearly audible, its reverberating sound spreading rapidly.
Roar!
The refugees, who had been dazed, suddenly awakened by innate fear, instinctively wanted to flee.
At that moment, that gentle voice entered their ears again.
"Don’t forget what I told you earlier."
The Lingxu Cave disciple sheathed his sword, turned to look at the statue beneath the tree, and respectfully bowed.
The refugees paused for a moment; having witnessed countless demon disasters firsthand, how could they entrust their lives to a lifeless statue during such earth-shattering turmoil?
The demon roar grew more deafening, almost forming tangible waves of wind.
Terrified, they screamed and ran wildly again.
Simultaneously, an enormous shadow suddenly shrouded the earth, as if the sun and moon had lost their light, plunging into eternal night.
Someone fearfully looked up and realized it was not an attack by the Great Demon.
As if ink had been dropped into clear water, it spread visibly, transforming into rolling black clouds, occupying the horizon.
Though black clouds covered the skies, they didn’t appear evil but conveyed an overwhelming vastness.
With mortal eyes, one could only see the heavy Sky Curtain, unable to perceive the true essence within.
Yet the Great Demon that had been charging toward Zhenning Prefecture was halted by this change, daring not to move despite the living beings underfoot.
It only stood dazed, neither daring to retreat nor proceed further.
The disciples from the Three Immortals Sect who had been observing You Yao’s domain exchanged glances amid the sudden occurrence.
"This is..."
Actually, no words were needed; they all saw the white-clad figure suspended at the center of the black clouds.
The handsome youth, amidst vastness, gazed calmly downward, encompassing the Four Mansions. The shadow cast by dense clouds seemed like a massive claw, gradually enclosing the earth within its grasp.
Though doing nothing, he instilled a strong sense of suffocation among disciples in remote locations.
This was confidence in having everything under control.
"Senior Taixu is planning a counterattack!"
Finally, someone reacted, feeling astonished but not finding anything amiss; instead, it seemed normal.
After all, Sister You Yao took the initiative against Kaiyuan Prefecture but failed, so some retaliation was inevitable.
No one expected Senior Taixu’s counterstrike to be so swift and relentless, aiming to take all four prefectures at once during Sister You Yao’s attempt to seize the Emperor’s Aura!
Such a wide-ranging domain struggle hadn’t occurred throughout the entire North Continent.
Compared to numerous fellow disciples enjoying the spectacle.
In Zhenning Prefecture City.
True Master Yun Miao also saw the black clouds, stared intently at the figure within, and once understanding what was about to happen, his eyes filled with furious resentment.
Why? Why harm me time and time again!
The nearby domain and the Immortal Emperor position looming overhead seemed to suddenly grow distant.
Ever since descending, Yun Miao had never torn relationships with anyone, even when infuriated by Shen Yi; he hadn’t cursed him in person, let alone resorted to violence.
But today, if he continued to tolerate, then all his years of cultivation would be in vain!
Yun Miao watched the figure gradually disappear within the black clouds, heading east. Face contorted, he soared upward and chased directly.
