Chapter 612.2: The World Will Know No Peace Until Lu Yuns Death (1/2)
“The Scroll of Shepherding Immortals, an amalgamation of the three paintings!!” Outside Dusk Province, the dao immortal of the Exalted Immortal Sect straightened up in shock and consternation. “The Scroll of Shepherding Immortals can awaken our ancestors. We will then return to the world of immortals as her master!”
He appeared to be human, but his body harbored a great reserve of divine energy. He was an Exalted Divine—the very tribe that had once destroyed the immortal dao, etched their divine patterns into the Dao Flower, and established the ancient divine court.
It was widely believed that the Exalted Divine Tribe had gone extinct, but in reality, their bloodline had been passed down to this day, kept alive somewhere in some corner in the world of immortals.
“My youths!” snarled the divine. “Follow me into Dusk Province and kill Lu Yun! The world will know no peace until Lu Yun’s death!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Terrifying killing intent surged as the battlecry rang.
Immortals of the Exalted Immortal Sect came together with one united will. They knew what they were fighting for. Without any hesitation, they unleashed their greatest battle strength and charged into Dusk Province!
At the same time, the Exalted Immortal Sect back in Exalted Major began gathering its numbers. Transportation formation upon transportation formation lit up, depositing countless immortals into Nephrite Major who promptly marched into Dusk Province.
The bugles of war were blown, something that hadn’t even happened in Witherdew Major as of yet. No one fathomed that the fires of war would flare in a tiny Dusk Province, forty thousand kilometers across, first.
Stunned and at a loss, no one else dared make a move. Even the Lin Clan and the Unsullied Sea, factions friendly with Lu Yun, didn’t dare intervene. The Exalted Immortal Sect was determined to destroy Dusk with one swift assault.
The Dusk restriction against immortals seemed to be affected by the Blood Sea as well; the human demon’s manifestation was locked in midair, unable to move. Hundreds of thousands of immortals from the Exalted Immortal Sect had poured into the province without repercussion.
“Master!!” A thin man stepped out before the Exalted immortals, a pitiful figure compared to the great army.
“Turn back please,” Zhao Zhicheng begged. “You can’t win!”
Their leader was an imposing man donning a dao robe and a tall cap. He was Zhao Zhicheng’s master, the head of the Exalted Immortal Sect.
“Bastard!” snapped the sect head. “How dare you betray the sect?!”
“This disciple doesn’t wish to see the sect’s eighty thousand years of foundation destroyed in one day!” Zhao Zhicheng knelt down in midair and kowtowed repeatedly. “Please withdraw with the army, master!”
“Kill!!” There was nothing in the sect head’s eyes but the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals. Once they killed that woman and acquired the treasure, the Exalted Divine Tribe would gain new life!
A traitor was completely insignificant, compared to the scroll.
Bam!
The hundred thousand immortals of the sect advanced with reckless abandon, their combined aura hurling Zhao Zhicheng off his feet.
“Fellow daoists of the Exalted Immortal Sect, House Donglin will not be left behind in a crusade to destroy Dusk Province and slay Lu Yun!” Another group of immortals emerged from another direction—House Donglin.
Zhao Fengyang had disposed of their ancestor, Dong Lin, with a slash, leaving Donglin Taihuang, the self-proclaimed top genius of the world, someone with less than a hundred years of cultivation under his belt, spearheading the house.
He was a short, chubby, and ugly-looking man, but he was extremely powerful. He’d now ascended to peak arcane dao immortal realm and plucked his ninth arcane dao fruit.
“You mustn’t harm the woman of the cosmic constitution, though,” he added hurriedly when he sensed the killing intent from the immortals of the Exalted Immortal Sect.
“Fine,” the sect head assented coldly. “But that scroll of hers belongs to my sect!”
“Deal!” Donglin Taihuang added a condition of his own. “The Sugato Sword and the great water jar will be House Donglin’s!”
“Agreed.”
“Kill!” Two armies of immortals converged and charged into the heart of Dusk Province together.
……
Qing Yu watched the overwhelming army of immortals with an impassive look on her face. Her Cosmic Skycarver, by contrast, radiated fierce killing intent. She knew what they were after.
Bam!
