Reverse Immortal Alliance

Just as the Immortal Alliance cultivator's longsword was about to strike Ren Xiaoyao's head, the wind whipping his hair back and even drawing tiny beads of blood a few inches from his brow, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly ripped through the sky, like dozens of blades tearing through the clouds. Dozens of dark figures, accompanied by a chilling Gale Wind, hurtled towards him, their robes billowing and leaving afterimages in the air. Their weapons gleamed with an eerie, cold light—a serrated dagger, Flying Claw wrapped in black rope, a bone weapon engraved with poisonous patterns. The staff, moving with ghostly speed using the "Netherworld Steps," darted between Ren Xiaoyao and the Immortal Alliance cultivators with a light touch of the toes in the air. "Clang, clang, clang—" A dense chorus of metal clashing rang out, sparks Mars like a torrential rain. The powerful, heavy strikes of the Immortal Alliance cultivators were abruptly stopped. The immense recoil traveled along the blades, numbing their hands and nearly causing them to drop their swords. Many staggered back several steps, leaving long gashes in the ground before regaining their footing. True Human Xuanyang's expression... Suddenly, his body surged with a powerful surge of silvery-white Spiritual Qi, his robes billowing like a ball without wind. He roared, "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the Immortal Alliance's pursuit of a traitor! Aren't you afraid of being listed as a public enemy by the Immortal Alliance and hunted down by the entire realm?!" The leading figure slowly removed his mask, revealing a sharply defined face with a shallow scar on his jaw. His narrow eyes gleamed with an arrogant light, and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, "Old man Xuan Yang, it's been many years. You old codger..." "You old-fashioned temper is still so fiery. When did it become the Reverse Immortal Alliance's place to interfere with the actions of the Immortal Alliance? It's you who, seeing that the Boundary Sealing Gate runes are about to go out, still have the mind to fight among yourselves. It's utterly laughable!" This person was none other than Ye Wushang, the vice Alliance Leader of the Reverse Immortal Alliance. He exuded the powerful aura of Mid-stage Golden Immortal, his aura as dark and unfathomable as a deep pool. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and when he swept over everyone present, he carried an undisguised disdain, as if the Immortal Alliance cultivators in front of him were nothing but clowns.

A clear look of surprise flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. His grip on the Sky Splitting Sword tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white. He had long heard of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, an organization that had long been entrenched in the "Fallen Immortal Valley" on the edge of the Immortal Realm, a rival to the Immortal Alliance for centuries. They were secretive and ruthless, yet they had an ironclad rule no one dared to break: never collude with the Demon Realm. They had even secretly thwarted Devil Cultivator ' attempts to infiltrate the Immortal Realm, sacrificing many Core Disciple in the process. However, he had never imagined that, in his desperate situation—being declared the "number one traitor" by the Immortal Alliance and utterly disgraced— the Reverse Immortal Alliance would openly offer their assistance. Ye Wushang turned to Ren Xiaoyao, his tone playful, his fingers twirling the Black Iron Short Blade, yet his eyes betrayed his seriousness. "Fellow Daoist Ren, my Alliance Leader foresaw that this group from the Immortal Alliance..." The old fogey was blinded by suspicion and panicked when the Boundary Sealing Gate was in crisis. He specifically ordered me to lead thirty Core Disciple to help. After all, if the Boundary Sealing Gate falls, the Demon Realm army will flood in, and the Immortal Realm will be devastated. Even if our Reverse Immortal Alliance is at odds with the Immortal Alliance, we will have to perish with them. We understand the Principles of mutual dependence."Ren Xiaoyao instantly understood. This was not the time to dwell on past grievances or investigate the other party's motives. The safety of the Boundary Sealing Gate Boundary Sealing Gate the most important thing. He nodded slightly, a firm light flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, Vice Alliance Leader Ye, for your timely help. Right now, joining forces to protect the Sealed Realm Gate is the top priority. Other grievances can be put aside for now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly feel a slight hum from the Sky Splitting Sword, as if it was echoing his determination to protect the Boundary Sealing Gate.

Upon seeing this, Master Xuanyang was so angry that he was shaking all over, his silver-white beard stood up, his cheeks were as swollen as cooked shrimps, and he roared, "Reverse Immortal Alliance! Are you going to collude with the traitors and betray the entire immortal world! What happened today, the Immortal Alliance will fight with you until death!" Ye Wushang sneered and laughed. The voice was full of ridicule, piercing Master Xuanyang like a sharp knife. "Traitor? The Immortal Alliance is blind from top to bottom. It can't tell who is loyal and courageous and who is a spy. How dare you talk about betrayal here? If Fellow Daoist Ren hadn't obtained the inheritance of <Suppressing Xuan and Breaking Demonic Array> in the secret realm, if he hadn't rushed to protect the world with all his life, The Sealing Sect is probably already swallowed up by demonic energy, and you, the so-called senior officials of the Immortal Alliance, have long become snacks for the monsters!" Before he finished speaking, Ye Wushang waved his hand violently, and three black command flags flew out of his sleeves. The three ancient seal characters "Ni", "Xian" and "Shou" were engraved on the command flags, and they were inserted into the ground and made a "pop" sound. Ringing, black mist instantly appeared around the flag, forming a translucent black light shield around the monks of the Immortal Alliance. Runes flowed on the light shield, exuding a defensive aura. The monks of the Immortal Alliance instantly pounced on the monks of the Immortal Alliance like hungry wolves, and the two sides fought together. The monks of the Immortal Alliance were all very skilled, and their moves were cunning and strange. The cooperation was perfect - a monk on the left threw out a black iron chain with barbs. The chain flew in the air, wrapping around the long swords of the two Immortal Alliance monks like a long snake. The barbs were deeply embedded in the blades. He pulled hard and the two monks were dragged forward. The companion on the right took the opportunity to swing a short blade. , accurately pierced their ribs, and blood spurted out; some monks took out black poisonous mist bombs and threw them into the Immortal Alliance formation. The poisonous mist filled the air with a pungent smell of bitter almonds. After inhaling it, the Immortal Alliance monks immediately coughed, their spiritual power was stagnant, and their faces turned black and purple. The Anti-Immortal Alliance monks wore special black masks. The shield was not affected by the poisonous mist, and they took the opportunity to get close and kill; there were even monks who were good at earth escape, and after forming seals with their hands, they sank into the ground, leaving only a black whirlpool on the ground. After a moment, they broke out from behind the Immortal Alliance monks, slashing straight down the lower body with the short sword in their hands. Three monks had their ankles cut off as blood spattered, and they fell to the ground screaming. , rolling all over the ground in pain. Although the monks of the Immortal Alliance had the upper hand, they were disrupted by this strange fighting method. The screams, the sound of weapons clashing and the corroding sound of poisonous mist intertwined. The scene was chaotic. The ground was soon covered with corpses and blood stains from both sides, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and poisonous mist.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Ren Xiaoyao unleashed his Emperor Power, golden spiritual light enveloping him like boiling magma, his robes fluttering wildly, and even Golden Flame -like Spiritual Qi leaping from his hair. Wielding the Sky Splitting Sword, he charged into the battlefield like a Golden Lightning, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp "sizzle," creating swirling vortexes of air in his wake. He exchanged a glance with Ye Wushang, needing no words, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding— Ye Wushang, with his Mid-stage Golden Immortal strength, would restrain True Human Xuanyang, the strongest fighter, while Ren Xiaoyao would focus on the other two Early-stage Golden Immortal elders of the Immortal Alliance, quickly dismantling the Immortal Alliance's high-level forces and preventing the battle from becoming a stalemate. Seeing this, an Immortal Alliance elder wielding twin hammers and sporting a full beard roared and slammed them down at Ren Xiaoyao. The hammers, infused with Spiritual Qi, swelled to over ten feet in size, their heads covered in ferocious spikes, carrying a "..." The howling sound seemed to shatter the air, the ground trembled slightly from the hammering wind, and gravel bounced three inches high. Ren Xiaoyao remained calm, using the "Cloud Treading Steps" to dodge like a ghost. His double hammers slammed into the ground, instantly creating two large craters over ten feet deep. Gravel flew like arrows, grazing his shoulders and leaving small bloodstains. He swiftly rotated his wrists, the Sky Splitting Sword drawing a beautiful arc of blue and gold, striking precisely the weak point where the hammers met with a clang. The immense force made the elder's arms numb, the hammers nearly flying from his grasp, his tiger's mouth splitting open and bleeding, his arms trembling uncontrollably. At the same time, another Immortal Alliance elder, holding a folding fan, quietly circled behind Ren Xiaoyao. The fan unfolded, revealing the "Mountain and River Map" runes on its Fan Surface, which emitted dozens of silver needles, each containing armor-piercing Spiritual Qi shot directly towards Ren Xiaoyao's vital point in the back. Ren Xiaoyao's Soul Power had already covered a hundred zhang around him. Sensing the danger behind him, he Teleport the ground with his toes, using the recoil to teleport behind the Twin Hammer Elder, just avoiding the light needles. The needles pierced the Twin Hammer Elder's shoulders with several "plop" sounds, blood gushing from his shoulders. The elder cried out in pain and staggered forward. Ren Xiaoyao's sword, carrying icy killing intent, aimed directly at his vital point in the back. The sword wind made the hairs on the back of the elder's neck stand on end, and goosebumps rose on his skin. The elder's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned and crossed his twin hammers to block, but Ren Xiaoyao's sword, infused with Emperor Power, shattered the hammers, which crashed to the ground with two "clangs," instantly revealing an opening in his chest. Ren Xiaoyao's sword momentum did not diminish; he thrust the sword into the elder's chest. Golden Emperor Power erupted like a volcano, ravaging his body and shattering most of his meridians. The elder screamed and collapsed. He was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious. Blood gushed from his chest, pooling on the ground and staining the surrounding rubble. The elder, holding a folding fan, saw his companion severely injured, a flicker of fear in his eyes, yet he still gritted his teeth and attacked with his fan. The fan's wind, carrying sharp Spiritual Qi, sliced through Ren Xiaoyao like blades, cleanly cutting the weeds on the ground. Ren Xiaoyao coldly snorted, his figure blurring, leaving a golden afterimage, instantly appearing before him. His Sky Splitting Sword slashed horizontally, and with a "plop," the elder's folding fan and right arm were severed. Blood gushed out, splattering onto Ren Xiaoyao's robes. His eyes widened in horror, but before he could even scream, Ren Xiaoyao kicked him in the chest. The sound of his ribs shattering was clearly audible. He flew backward, crashing into the rock wall with a dull thud, dying instantly.

Meanwhile, Ye Wushang and True Human Xuanyang were locked in a fierce battle, their Spiritual Qi surging and colliding to form two opposing vortexes. These vortexes swirled around them, lifting rubble, broken swords, and twigs into the air, causing them to spin rapidly and emit a buzzing sound. Even light was distorted into spirals. Ye Wushang held a short, foot-long Black Iron Short Blade, its surface as black as ink, gleaming with a cold, eerie light. The blade was coated with Netherworld Water, which corroded Spiritual Qi energy. Each swing of the blade carried a foul, black aura, causing the air to hiss and corrode wherever it passed. Rocks touched by the black aura were instantly corroded, developing honeycomb-like holes. True Human Xuanyang summoned his Natal Magic Treasure, the "Silver Silk Duster Dustbrush," its handle inlaid with... Embedded with a luminous Luminous Pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, it emitted a soft white light during the fierce battle. Thousands of silver threads cascaded down like a waterfall, each thread containing sharp Spiritual Qi, weaving an impenetrable silver net in the air, enveloping Ye Wushang. The silver threads grazed the ground, leaving deep scratches as if cut by a sharp blade. Yet Ye Wushang's Movement Method were unpredictable, employing the Reverse Immortal Alliance technique, "Shadow Escape Technique," his figure flickering between light and shadow, weaving through the silver threads like a ghost. Each time he seemed about to be struck by the silver threads, he always managed to dodge at the last second, leaving tiny tears on his robes as they grazed him. Seizing the moment True Human Xuanyang was withdrawing his attack, he stomped his foot on the ground, his figure shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow. He darted out, leaving a shallow crater in the ground. His short blade traced a cunning arc, tearing True Human Xuanyang True Human Xuanyang's sleeve with a "sizzle." The Netherworld Water touched his forearm, instantly emitting puffs of black smoke and a burnt smell. Xuan Yang Zhenren groaned in pain, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He hurriedly circulated his Spiritual Qi to suppress the spread of the poison. A bruise had already appeared on his forearm, the poison still slowly spreading along his meridians, like small black snakes crawling under his skin. "Ye Wushang! How dare you use such a vile thing!" True Human Xuanyang roared, his eyes filled with fear and rage. He waved his hand, retracting his whisk, and silver threads condensed into a silver whip as thick as an arm. The whip swirled with Spiritual Qi, lashing out at Ye Wushang with a sharp, piercing sound. The air around them cracked with a sharp "snap," and a long trench was carved into the ground. Ye Wushang sneered, his figure flashing back again. His short blade spun in his hand, drawing a black Light Arcs that precisely blocked the silver whip. With a crisp "clang," both of them were forced back two steps, their feet leaving scratches on the ground. "To deal with the stubborn old man of the Immortal Alliance, you naturally need to use some special methods, otherwise how can you be brought to your senses?" The two clashed again, the silver whip and the Black Iron Short Blade colliding incessantly. Amidst the overflowing Spiritual Qi, the surrounding trees were snapped in half, dust flew up, forming a cloud of smoke that enveloped the two figures. Only two beams of spiritual light could be seen flashing and colliding rapidly within the smoke.

Just as the fierce battle raged on, with casualties mounting and corpses piling up to half a foot high, the Boundary Sealing Gate suddenly trembled violently, like the roar of an ancient beast. The runes on the Stone Gate vanished completely, turning into dim streaks of stone, as if they had never existed. Black Demonic Qi surged out like a tsunami breaking free of its restraints, condensing into a sky-covering Demonic Clouds. As the Demonic Clouds churned, it formed hideous Devil Creature faces, emitting chilling roars that even blocked out the Demonic Clouds. Suddenly, an eerie darkness descended upon the Boundary Sealing Gate, and the temperature plummeted by several degrees. A gigantic demonic claw, covered in black scales and emitting a pungent, foul stench, emerged from a crack in the Stone Gate. The claw was at least ten feet long, its nails sharp as knives, gleaming with a cold light, and dripping with Viscous Black Liquid. The liquid, upon hitting the ground, instantly corroded small, smoking holes in the rock. The demonic claw viciously clawed at the sealing core in the center of the Stone Gate, causing the Stone Gate to creak and groan under its strain, cracks rapidly spreading. The sands stretched out like a spiderweb, covering the entire Stone Gate, with rubble falling in a flurry. "Not good! Demon Soldiers are about to break through! This is the aura of Demon General general!" Ren Xiaoyao's pupils constricted, and he shouted sharply, his voice tinged with anxiety. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the demonic claws, a pressure far exceeding that of Late-stage Golden Immortal, even causing his soul to tremble slightly. Ye Wushang's eyes narrowed, instantly abandoning his playful demeanor. His languid aura vanished, replaced by a cold, murderous intent, as he sternly shouted at the Reverse Immortal Alliance cultivators. He said, "Everyone, listen to my command! Half of you, follow me and use the Reverse Immortal Array to reinforce the seal! Use your Essence Blood as a catalyst to activate the ' Netherworld Boundary Sealing Rune '! The rest of you, continue to restrain the Immortal Alliance and prevent them from causing any more trouble!" As he spoke, he first pricked his fingertip, and his Essence Blood dripped onto the Black Command Flag on the ground. The flag instantly erupted with dense black energy. Then he turned to Ren Xiaoyao and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Ren, I'm entrusting you with stabilizing the situation on the Immortal Alliance's side. Make sure they recognize the situation; if they continue fighting amongst themselves, everyone will die under the claws of the Demon Soldiers!"

Ren Xiaoyao nodded solemnly, his Emperor Power surging wildly within him. The incomplete array patterns of the <Profound Suppression Demonic Array> spun rapidly in his sea of consciousness, radiating an ancient and majestic aura. He leaped into the air, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. Golden Emperor Power surged from his fingertips, outlining dazzling array patterns in the air. The intertwined patterns formed a small light array. He shouted, "Immortal Alliance cultivators, listen up! The Demon Realm army is about to breach the gates, their demonic claws are already outstretched! Continuing to fight amongst ourselves will only lead to the destruction of the Immortal Realm, and we will all face certain death! If you still want to protect your homeland and the billions of lives in the Immortal Realm, put aside your grudges and join me in fighting the demons!" Some Immortal Alliance cultivators, who were already suspicious of the attack on Ren Xiaoyao, now saw the Demonic Clouds looming overhead and the demonic claws menacing. Their killing intent was instantly replaced by fear, and they all... Pausing their actions, their eyes filled with hesitation, a Late Heavenly Immortal Alliance captain, clad in silver armor, carrying a long sword, and bearing a scar on his face, watched the approaching demonic energy and the trembling young disciple behind him. Gritting his teeth and stamping his foot, he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Ren is right! With national crisis at our doorstep, personal grudges can wait! Fighting the Devil Creature is paramount! We can settle our Immortal Alliance's scores later!" With that, he turned his sword, his body surging with Spiritual Qi, and unleashed a ten-foot-long white Saber Qi, slashing at the Demon Soldiers that had just condensed within the demonic energy. The Saber Qi struck the Demon Soldiers, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound, Demon Soldiers screamed as it turned into black smoke. With one leader taking the lead, more and more Immortal Alliance cultivators seemed to awaken from their daze, turning their attention to the fight against the Devil Creature. In an instant, the situation on the battlefield reversed; the internal strife transformed into a temporary anti-demonic alliance.

Seeing the Immortal Alliance cultivators defect and the Devil Creature rampage, True Human Xuanyang's face was filled with complex emotions—anger, resentment, and a trace of guilt. Finally, he let out a heavy sigh, abruptly sheathed his whisk, abandoned his fight with Ye Wushang, and turned to fly towards the Boundary Sealing Gate. He shouted sharply, "All Immortal Alliance elders, listen to my command! Follow me to activate the Immortal Alliance's protective array, the ' Nine Revolutions Star Array,' to reinforce the seal! If the Boundary Sealing Gate breaks, we will all be ashamed before the immortal Immortal Realm!" Ye Wushang did not pursue, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He led the Reverse Immortal Alliance cultivators to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Alliance cultivators before the Boundary Sealing Gate. Although they still maintained a distance of several feet, they formed a temporary anti-demonic defense line, and a sense of synergy even appeared between their intertwined Spiritual Qi. Ren Xiaoyao slammed the Sky Splitting Sword into the ground, placed his hands on the hilt, and poured the remaining Emperor Power in his body into the <Profound Suppression Demonic Array>. Under the impetus of the Emperor Power, the incomplete array patterns erupted with unprecedented light, and a golden pillar of light, tens of feet thick, shot into the sky from the array. The pillar of light contained a vast power to Evil-Breaking, and then slammed into the huge demonic claw on the Stone Gate. "Awooo--!" The demonic claw was hit by the pillar of light and let out an extremely shrill roar. Most of the Black Demonic Qi was instantly evaporated, and the scales on the claw fell off one by one, revealing the bloody flesh and texture underneath. Like a kite with a broken string, it shrank back into the Stone Gate. The tremors of the Stone Gate also weakened, and the pressure of the Demonic Clouds dissipated a bit.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Devil Creature that had poured out from the cracks in the Stone Gate were all slain. The ground was littered with the remains of Devil Creature and thick, black blood, emitting a nauseating stench. Even the surrounding weeds were corroded black by the demonic energy. The seal of the Boundary Sealing Gate was also reinforced under the combined efforts of several Golden Immortal, including True Human Xuanyang and Ye Wushang. The runes on the Stone Gate once again flickered with a faint but firm golden light, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the demonic energy like a candle in the wind. The tremors of the Stone Gate completely ceased. After the battle, the Immortal Alliance cultivators and the Reverse Immortal Alliance cultivators retreated to the side. The atmosphere remained tense, with swords drawn. Many looked at each other with wariness and hostility, but less of the resolute determination to fight to the death. True Human Xuanyang Approaching Ren Xiaoyao, seeing his wounds, pale face, and exhausted expression, his eyes filled with guilt and remorse, he bowed deeply. "Fellow Daoist Ren, it was my foolishness, misled by treacherous people, that led me to wrongly accuse the loyal and virtuous, nearly causing a catastrophe and making the Immortal Alliance a sinner of the Immortal Realm... I apologize to you! And to the Reverse Immortal Alliance!" Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, his voice hoarse but firm. "Elder Xuanyang, there's no need for this. Now is not the time for apologies. The Boundary Sealing Gate is only temporarily stabilized; the erosion of demonic energy has not stopped, Void Demon Ancestor's conspiracy has not yet been exposed. We must quickly find the traitors lurking within the Immortal Alliance and uncover their collusion with the Demon Realm, otherwise the next crisis will only be more dangerous, and we may not be so lucky."

Ye Wushang stepped forward, took out a Black Jade Slip slip from his robes. The slip was inscribed with complex runes of the Reverse Immortal Alliance. He casually tossed it to True Human Xuanyang, saying, "Our Reverse Immortal Alliance has planted spies within the Immortal Alliance. This jade slip contains clues about the traitor, concerning the recent unusual movements of several high-ranking elders of the Immortal Alliance, including secret contacts with the border region of the Demon Realm and the hoarding of demonic energy crystals. Although the evidence is not yet conclusive, it might provide you with some direction." True Human Xuanyang took the jade slip, infused it with Spiritual Qi, and examined it carefully. His expression grew increasingly solemn, his hands trembling slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then finally looked up at Ye Wushang and said in a deep voice, "Alright, for the safety of the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Alliance and the Reverse Immortal Alliance will temporarily put aside..." "Let bygones be bygones, form a temporary Anti-Demon Alliance, and join forces to investigate the traitor! If the truth is revealed, the Immortal Alliance is willing to publicly apologize to the Reverse Immortal Alliance for the previous misunderstanding and compensate the Reverse Immortal Alliance for the corresponding losses." Ye Wushang raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then smiled and said, "That's more like someone who can take responsibility." Ren Xiaoyao looked at the scene before him, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and a warm current surged in his heart—he knew that although this battle to protect the Boundary Sealing Gate had been temporarily won, the real challenge had just begun. The traitor had not been eliminated, and the Demon Realm was watching with predatory eyes. This time, however, he was no longer alone. Behind him were companions willing to fight side by side, and an alliance that temporarily put aside grudges and fought together against the external enemy.
