“My Immortal Court fought against the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus’s Infernal Devils, which gave you heretics the chance to survive. If not for that, how could you be so arrogant?
You’re nothing but a bunch of scoundrels! “
The Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch coughed out blood violently. However, he still laughed loudly and said, “Scoundrels can only appear in the void’s boundless outskirts. It’s my bad luck to fall into your hands. However, my Immortal Court’s Upper True Heavenly Territory isn’t a place you can offend.”
“Not that no one has tried, right?” said Yan Di coldly.
The Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch said, “Suo Mingzhang, if he didn’t ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm, why don’t you let him try again?”
He sneered and looked at Yan Zhaoge’s group, “We’re united. How are you guys like a plate of loose sand?
Let me tell you something else. That He brat came to us of his own accord! “
“He’s smarter than all of you. He understands the concept of repentance. Unlike you guys, only death awaits you!”
“Hahahaha!”
After hearing the Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch’s words, everyone’s expression darkened.
Especially Daoist Cloud Conquest. His expression was so dark that it seemed as if water could drip down from it.
Yan Zhaoge looked at the Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch expressionlessly and calmly nodded, “I see.”
His calmness made the Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch feel a chill down his spine.
Initially, he was filled with confidence. Now, he started feeling a little weak. His laughter even started trembling. Gradually, he couldn’t laugh anymore. His laughter only lingered in the air, making him look extremely comical.
The Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch wanted to say something else. However, Yan Zhaoge suddenly increased his strength and suppressed him to the point that he couldn’t speak anymore.
No one present made a sound. For a time, there was only silence.
“I’m not talented. I’ve always dreamed of reviving the Immortal Extermination Formation’s glory for my Daoism and the Prime Clear lineage. Unfortunately, I’ve always lacked the capability to do so.”
After a long time, Daoist Cloud Conquest spoke slowly, “Fortunately, Little Friend Yu has successfully unearthed the Lord of Plentiful Treasure’s legacy, allowing the Immortal Extermination Formation to reappear. Now that I’m able to see it in my lifetime, one of my wishes has been fulfilled.”
He let out a long sigh towards the heavens, “This humble Daoist has been mediocre all my life. Back then, it was all thanks to the combined efforts of my fellow Daoists that I managed to establish the Roving Jade Heavens. This humble Daoist does not dare to claim credit for it. All these years, I’ve only been imparting knowledge and dispelling doubts, helping my Prime Clear lineage to continue on. I’ve worked diligently and conscientiously. Looking back at it now that I’m old, I finally feel a little gratified. However …”
Gao Qingxuan said, “Daoist brother, you don’t have to be like this. Although we often disagree on certain matters, I’ve always been clear of your character.”
“He Mian is my disciple. Yet, he betrayed my Dao Sect and caused such severe consequences. I have the responsibility to clean up the sect and give everyone an explanation,” Daoist Cloud Conquest shook his head.
At this moment, Kun Ningzi opened his mouth and said, “I understand that Daoist wants to clean up the sect, but I’m afraid this is not the right time.”
“Perhaps it’s a little inappropriate to say this. However, the truth is right in front of us. We have to pay attention to it.”
He raised his head and looked at everyone, “If He Mian has truly entered the Immortal Court’s territory, it would be very difficult for us to kill him in a short period of time.”
Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, Yue Zhenbei, and Daoist Cloud Conquest’s expressions sank.
Yan Di frowned as well.
Kun Ningzi sighed, “The two heretics are currently fighting against each other. Indeed, they don’t have the time to care about us. However, fighting within the void’s boundless outskirts is completely different from fighting on the other party’s territory.”
“Although the Exalted Fire rampaged through the Immortal Court in the past, it was precisely because of that that the other party would definitely be careful and make thorough arrangements. They wouldn’t give us the chance to enter their territory easily.”
“The heretics might have specially set up traps around He Mian, waiting for us to jump in.”
Kun Ningzi cupped his hands towards Daoist Cloud Conquest, “Please reconsider.”
“Junior apprentice-brother Nie and Daoist Yu’s grudges should naturally be avenged.”
Bai Tao said, “However, the heretics are powerful. It’s extremely risky to fight in their territory. We’ll most likely have to face them head-on.”
“It’s best for us to contact Senior Suo and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor to pressure the Immortal Court and force them to hand over He Mian.”
“If we really have to fight, it’ll be much more convenient with them around.”
In the war against the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, the Immortal Court was already in a disadvantageous position.
If the Grand Heavenly Realm experts of orthodox Daoism were to side with the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Demon Race and assist them in attacking the Immortal Court, the Immortal Court would be greatly pressured.
Bai Tao’s suggestion allowed Gao Qingxuan, Yue Zhenbei, and the others to temporarily suppress their anger and contact the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, the Incongruence Divine Mother, and the others.
However, the final news they received was disappointing.
“The Demon Race?” Yan Di frowned.
Gao Qingxuan closed her eyes and remained silent. Daoist Cloud Conquest said slowly, “That’s right. The Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles abandoned his pride and contacted the other Great Demons to avenge his son’s death. The Incongruence Divine Mother, Exalted Fire, and the others are currently facing off against the Great Demons and can’t get away.”
“In other words, if we were to look for He Mian in the Immortal Court, we don’t have any Grand Heavenly Realm experts on our side.” Kun Ningzi muttered to himself.
He raised his head and looked at Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and Yue Zhenbei, “I’m not trying to boost the morale of others. However, if only our Awakened Sky Cosmos were to attack the Immortal Court, we wouldn’t have the confidence to do so. We might even fall into their trap.”
“With the heretics in their territory, it would be much easier for them to dispatch manpower. Although the heretics’ Grand Heavenly Immortals are far inferior to our orthodox Daoism, they are still Grand Heavenly Realm experts.”
“We have just experienced the Three Extinct Devils’ Calamity and suffered heavy losses. It would be difficult for us to even lay down the Immortal Extermination Formation. Moreover, the other party might even have the assistance of the Western Pure Lands. The most worrisome one would still be the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.”
Kun Ningzi said sincerely, “It’s not that I’m a coward. However, as long as the whereabouts of the Awakened Sky Cosmos aren’t leaked, there will be a day when He Mian dies. Please reconsider.”
“We’re all sword cultivators,” said Long Xingquan plainly.
Kun Ningzi let out a sigh.
“Senior apprentice-uncle Long, Senior Gao, senior apprentice-uncle Yue, Daoist Cloud Conquest.”
Yan Zhaoge suddenly said, “Due to the destruction of the Immortal Extermination Formation, everyone is injured. Indeed, it’s not suitable for us to attack the heretics.”
Yue Zhenbei and the others looked towards him.
“I’ll go.” Yan Zhaoge calmly extended his hand and pointed at himself, “He Mian is dead for sure.”
“I’m afraid that junior apprentice-sister Feng isn’t in a suitable condition to take action,” said Bai Tao slowly.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “I never intended for Yunsheng to take action.”
“You alone?”
Bai Tao was startled, “The current situation isn’t the same as when you sneaked into the Immortal Court. Back then, the two heretics hadn’t started a war, and the situation wasn’t tense. The other party wasn’t on high alert, and your cultivation was low as well. That’s how you managed to sneak in.”
“With your current cultivation, the other party should be alerted the moment you step onto the Immortal Court’s grounds.”
Kun Ningzi smiled bitterly and said, “The heretics would definitely hide He Mian. If we can’t find him within a short period of time, we’ll be surrounded.”
Yan Zhaoge said plainly, “I’ll enter openly and search for him in detail.”
At the same time, within the Awakened Sky Cosmos, the Sky beyond Skies, on the Broad Creed Mountain.
A tall figure was followed by a giant bear with black and white fur. They arrived outside a small courtyard, “Senior apprentice-brother Xu, I know that the situation is urgent, and you might not have stabilized your cultivation yet. However, we’ll have to go together.”
