Chapter 207: Turn Things Upside Down (1/2)

Countless immortals were gathered outside Mauve Peace Paradise. In fact, half of the capital’s residents had come to see the Lu Clan make a fool of themselves in the face of the Qing Clan’s deliberate provocation.

Apart from the imperial Zhao Clan, there were nine major clans residing in their respective greater paradises in Nephrite Major, among which the Lu Clan ranked last. Due to the disaster that’d hit the clan a hundred years ago, many of their elites, young geniuses and dao immortals alike, had fallen then.

Though they’d slowly recovered some strength, they were still no match for the other major clans. Even a vassal clan like the Jins might be more powerful than the Lu Clan. Yet they remained in Mauve Peace Paradise, a small world that ranked sixth among the top ten paradises.

The ten greater paradises of Xiankan were symbols of status and power. Many believed that the Lus didn’t deserve theirs, given their current level of strength. Prior to today, the other major clans hadn’t known what the Lu trump card was and thus stayed their hand. However, Lu Daoling’s earlier appearance had solved the mystery.

Recovery was possible for the Lus only because of their venerated ancestor, but all of the major factions had their own ancestors as well. None of them were below Lu Daoling in status and power, so the man wasn’t much of a secret weapon. Thus, here came a Qing august immortal to blockade the Lu entrance.

According to their original plan, the Qing Clan would be the first to blockade the entrance, followed by the Feng, Zhu, Yue, and other major clans. Humiliated beyond redemption, the Lu Clan would be forced to vacate the sixth major paradise.

However, a single blow had destroyed that plan!

Qing Shan had been smashed into meat paste before he could even flex his muscles. He hadn’t even had the chance to fight a single Lu august immortal!

Where did the girl in red come from? Since when was there an august immortal like her in the Lu Clan?!

Qing Shan might not be the best in Xiankan, but he could at least approach their ranks. Before the bystanders could react, the girl grabbed Qing Shan’s remains and disappeared in a flash of red.

“Follow her. Let’s see what she’s going to do!”

Vague inklings of what was to come crossed the crowd’s minds, prompting visible excitement to spread across faces. It’d been years since something this big had happened in the capital.

……

“I am the maid of the Governor of Dusk Province. On his orders, I am to block the entrance to the Qing paradise for a month. Challenge me if you do not accept this!” Halberd in hand, Aoxue threw down the crushed remains of Qing Shan and stood serenely in the air with her eyes closed. She’d amplified her voice with a mysterious technique, so her words had reached half of the capital.

Ranked fourth of the ten greater paradises, Triprime Perfection Paradise was home to the Qing Clan. Bystanders who’d flocked to the Lu paradise entrance now gathered here.

That mysterious girl was blocking the doorway to the Qing paradise! More surprisingly, she hadn’t been sent by the Lu ancestor, but the Dusk governor, the man of the hour in Nephrite Major and the entire world.

“Die!!” No sooner had Aoxue arrived at the paradise than a growl of rage sounded. An enormous hand shot out and clawed at her. A Qing dao immortal had made his move.

Smack!

Before the hand could get any closer, a greater force emerged around Aoxue and crushed it.
