Chapter 857 - Arriving With a Bang! (2/2)
So as he spoke, he raised his right hand and weaved a hand seal. Instantly, black planets transmogrified and exploded forth as he fought with the two from the Heavenly Spirit Sect again.
Seeing that, the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect suppressed the Sovereign Patriarch while sneering. He spoke again, but this time, he wasn’t persuading the Sovereign Patriarch. Instead, he spoke to all Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples.
“He’ll cause his own demise! All disciples of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, no matter what decision your patriarch makes, your lives are in your hands. The path of cultivation isn’t easy, and you only have one chance. Anyone who surrenders will be spared. You will then enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect and become one of us!”
Not every cultivator had convictions as strong as those of the Sovereign Patriarch. That was especially so in this life and death situation. And when they couldn’t see any hope, many were swayed by the Heavenly Spirit Sect Patriarch’s words.
Towards this… the Sovereign Patriarch remained silent and no longer spoke. He knew that he treated the disciples in his sect well, but he also knew that, at this point, it was only natural for them to choose to live.
However, he didn’t expect that the first army’s commander, Daoist Gu Mo, who was unhappy towards him and was most likely to choose to live at that moment, didn’t make that choice. Instead, his subordinate, Vice-Commander Yi Nianzi… actually retreated and growled without any hesitation.
“Heavenly Spirit Patriarch, I surrender!”
When he spoke, the entire battlefield shook, and a large number of Divine Sovereign Justice Sect cultivators were swayed even more. In reality… even though an early-stage Spirit Immortal didn’t mean much to a Planet realm, to other cultivators, a Spirit Immortal was already a mighty figure and represented a position of high prestige and status. And because Yi Nianzi was the first army’s vice-commander, the fact that he surrendered naturally swayed even more people.
Instantly, the expressions of Fairy Ling You, the Black Armor Legion’s commander, and the other Spirit Immortals all turned ugly. But the one with the ugliest expression wasn’t the Sovereign Patriarch, it was the first army’s commander, Daoist Gu Mo.
“Yi Nianzi, you’re asking for it!” Daoist Gu Mo, who was trying his best to resist the three perfected stage Spirit Immortals from the Heavenly Spirit Sect alongside the butler, had an intense killing intent explode forth from his eyes as he glared at the retreating Yi Nianzi.
“Commander, we’ll definitely lose this battle. It’s not that I’m an ingrate, it’s because I have no other choice!” Yi Nianzi sustained heavy injuries, and as he spoke, there was still blood at the corners of his mouth. He had a frenzied look and didn’t care that he bumped into Divine Sovereign Justice Sect disciples as he retreated. With his Spirit Immortal cultivation, he actually killed many disciples by bumping into them as he retreated.
“Good. Yi Nianzi was it? From now on, you’re a member of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. We will calculate your battle credits starting now. The more you kill, the more items you can exchange for when you return to the sect. If you can kill a Spirit Immortal, I assure you that you can receive a Heavenly Spirit Pill that will allow you to break through to the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm!” Seeing that scene, the Heavenly Spirit Patriarch laughed loudly. After a glimmer of disdain and ridicule flashed deep within his eyes, he spoke words of encouragement.
The moment he spoke, one could see from Yi Nianzi’s eyes that he was struggling. But very quickly, a ferocious glimmer flashed through his eyes as he suddenly looked towards Fairy Ling You, who was already retreating step by step, in front of him!
Fairy Ling You had the weakest cultivation, and she was also more heavily injured than him. Killing intent glowed in Yi Nianzi’s eyes as he flicked his body, about to charge out.
But at that moment… suddenly, far away in the cosmos, a rumble sounded. The sound was astonishing, and one could see a long rainbow that seemed to cut open the cosmos as it sped towards the battlefield. In the previous moment, it was still far away. But in the next moment… the long rainbow charged directly into the battlefield. Its sheer speed shocked the souls of all Spirit Immortals, including Daoist Gu Mo and the butler. Even the Sovereign Patriarch, the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and the left-hand elder had their expressions change.
And just as their expressions changed, the long rainbow appeared directly in front of the shocked Yi Nianzi. Without pausing, a hand stretched out from the long rainbow, ignoring all of his divine powers and resistance, and grabbed his neck!
As the long rainbow dissipated, Wang Baole’s silhouette appeared on the battlefield. He raised his right hand and clutched Yi Nianzi. No matter how much Yi Nianzi struggled, he couldn’t escape. In fact, he couldn’t even speak. It was only after he could see who arrived clearly that an unprecedented sense of shock and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
“Hey, leader of the Heavenly Spirit Sect or whatever. If I kill this Yi Nianzi, can I exchange for that Heavenly Spirit Pill you were talking about?” Wang Baole coughed and looked towards the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, who wore a gloomy expression and looked equally shocked.
