Surrounded and Slain

Even though these disciples of the immortal sects present were limited by their perspective and experience, they did not know what this flower covered with Dao Patterns that had formed on Lu Bai's peak was.

But just by benefiting from a little bit of that light, I felt my thinking became clearer and the bottleneck that had been bothering me loosened.

These disciples of the immortal sects were certain, based on the tangible benefits they experienced, that it was something truly extraordinary.

The disciples of the immortal sects present couldn't even imagine how much benefit Lu Bai, who truly possessed such a Dao Patterns flower, would receive.

Even though he knew he was no match for Lu Bai, he couldn't help but have the urge to take it by force.

Fortunately, this is Immortal Dao Flower, not some flower of demons.

Although tempted by the enormous benefits, he wouldn't lose his mind and rush over to attack Lu Bai.

At this moment, Lu Bai had absolutely no interest in paying attention to the disciples of the immortal sects around him.

Because in his mind, the familiar mechanical notification sound of the Deathmatch System was already ringing out.

[Bite!]

[Current Deathmatch Arena Node retrieved.]

[Double Points Reward loading time remaining--]

[23:59:59]

Lu Bai looked up at the illusory flower that hovered above his head, almost completely covering his title, and was somewhat stunned.

He did suspect that the "Node" in this world might be something related to luck, but he didn't expect to obtain it so easily and suddenly.

Moreover, having such a large flower on one's head is really too eye-catching.

As he pondered how to conceal the flower atop his head, he channeled his Mana, attempting to influence it.

Before he could figure it out, a rumbling sound echoed across the sky, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in all parts of Purple Cloud Mountain fluctuated violently. Elders and renowned figures from various immortal sects descended one after another.

In fact, these powerful figures could initially remain seated on their high platforms, and whatever thoughts they had in mind, they could wait until Lu Bai and the other disciples of the immortal sects were teleported back before making any decisions.

No one expected this change to occur.

A blessing descends from heaven, gathering into auspicious flowers atop the head.

This kind of fantasy story, which was only recorded in the ancient books of the sect, actually appeared before their eyes in real life, and no one could sit still.

Many powerful figures already harbored murderous intent towards Lu Bai. Since he wasn't one of their own, it would be best to nip this problem in the bud now, given his extraordinary talent.

Not to mention that Lu Bai also gained a great fortune because of this Dao Commencement Assembly.

Needless to say, the more the heavens and earth favored Lu Bai, the stronger their killing intent became.

As for the reason? Under these circumstances, apart from the Qingwang Sect, they didn't think any other immortal sects would have any objections.

Even if they don't do it themselves, they probably all intend to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

The elders and renowned figures of the major immortal sects are all at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

This level of mastery is enough to allow one to roam freely throughout the world, and to maintain a place wherever one goes.

The distance between Ziyun City and Purple Cloud Mountain is short enough for them to travel in an instant.

The moment they arrived, someone secretly took action to seal off the heavens and earth, disrupting the void to prevent anyone from leaving or using formations to teleport away.

The elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land spoke first, his voice booming with righteous indignation. "Lu Bai of the Qingwang Sect, you are so ruthless towards your fellow disciples, you will surely become a demon in the future. If I let this go unchecked, it would be tantamount to being irresponsible towards the future of Xuanzhou."

Even if they were to take action against Lu Bai, they still had to save face.

Elder Golden Scale casually came up with a reason to define the nature of the matter.

"I knew long ago that this boy was bloodthirsty and could not be allowed to live; he should be killed!"

The Deputy Cult Master of the Yuhuo Cult immediately stood up to echo him. He hated Lu Bai to the core, and even without this incident, he planned to find an opportunity to kill Lu Bai.

After all, Xi Ao Yan was a once-in-a-century genius disciple of their Yuhuo Cult, and he was killed on the spot by Lu Bai. He didn't know how to explain it to the sect leader when he got back.

"How can this be? I've never heard of any such thing as settling scores after the Dao Commencement Assembly."

Wang the Gambler naturally also came to Purple Cloud Mountain.

As the Captain the Qingwang Sect this time, he should stand up and speak out, both morally and logically.

However, facing so many powerful figures, Elder Wang was also under immense pressure, and it was unlikely that he would give him any face.

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Lu Bai, telling him to find a way to escape quickly, and that he would do his best to stop the pursuers.

However, there were quite a few cultivators present whose cultivation levels were higher than Elder Wang's, so it was hard to say how well Elder Wang's secret telepathic communication was concealed.

Elder Golden Scale directly restricted Elder Wang's movements, so that even if he wanted to help Lu Bai, he would have to break through this Mana cage first.

Elder Golden Scale snorted coldly, staring at Elder Wang with a threatening look in his eyes. "This boy has no chance of escaping today. Wang the Gambler, are you determined to stand against all your fellow practitioners?"

"Good."

Another elder from the holy land suddenly released his own aura.

He adopted a haughty posture, looking down at Lu Bai on the Nameless Mountain: "Lu Bai, you can't escape. No one can save you. Offer your neck for slaughter."

"Hehe..."

An old man chuckled sinisterly. He was so thin that he was almost emaciated, and the wrinkles on his skin resembled the bark of an old tree.

He was the leader of the Myriad Insect Valley's Dao Commencement Assembly, and of course he wanted to kill Lu Bai, but not because Lu Bai had killed their Myriad Insect Valley disciples.

He was mainly interested in Lu Bai's secrets.

To be this strong at this age, no one would believe it if you didn't have some great stroke of luck.

Moreover, that Immortal Dao Flower clearly offers significant benefits to cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above.

"Gentlemen, why bother with these high-sounding words? Let's just get down to business. As for the fate of this boy, let's see how it goes."

Before the gaunt old man could finish speaking, he attacked Lu Bai directly.

He used a huge, dark claw mark to grab at Lu Bai, accompanied by faint sounds of ghostly wails and insect howls.

"Elder Ghost Jing! Put down my opportunity!" a powerful cultivator roared.

He no longer concealed his true thoughts while speaking.

Of course, many powerful figures simply used their Mana powers to quietly rescue their own sect's disciples.

They couldn't bring themselves to act against their conscience and lay a hand on such a gifted young man.

But expecting them to help you out of this predicament is wishful thinking; they've actually condoned the actions of some of their accomplices.

Right and wrong are often quite clear.

They were certainly aware that Lu Bai's actions were within reasonable limits by the standards of the Dao Commencement Assembly, and did not warrant the drastic measure of killing him.

However, for the immortal sects behind them, right and wrong are not so simple. There is truly no best among such geniuses.

In their view, the only thing to blame is that Lu Bai is too talented, while the Qingwang Sect behind him is too weak.
