One Punch
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land probably saw through the Taishi Sect Master's thoughts and interrupted him.
He scoffed, "Don't even think about it. Do you think you can stop now?"
After the Mountain Protecting Great Array of the Qingwang Sect was deactivated, disciples from various immortal sects gathered and rushed into the mountain gate.
Those who acted quickly had already begun fighting with the disciples of the Qingwang Sect.
The Sect Master the Taishi Sect sighed and said no more.
Not to mention that the allied forces of the major immortal sects were already poised to strike, moreover, given that Lu Bai had become Mahayana stage cultivator in such a short time, he should have the opportunity to deal with this unbelievable prodigy.
The leader of the Yuhuo Cult also had a solemn expression, and since the conversation wasn't deliberately kept from him, he naturally heard everything clearly.
"Seniors, let's get started quickly and not let the Qingwang Sect waste time."
After saying that, he decisively took action.
The temperature of the surrounding air rose dramatically, and under the influence of the high temperature, the air around the cult leader became distorted.
He clasped his hands together, then pushed them outwards with his palms facing outwards.
Boom!
The surging high temperature quickly solidified, transforming into a crimson fire dragon tens of feet long, which snaked through the air and rushed towards the mountain gate.
Like a fire dragon burning a mountain, the spiritual plants inside the mountain gate were scorched to a golden brown on the spot, and then spontaneously combusted.
The Qingwang Sect disciples along the way were powerless to resist; they were all burned alive, letting out shrill screams.
"You bastard!"
Another elder from the Qingwang Sect made his move, his entire body radiating an icy, bone-chilling aura of Mana.
He tried to extinguish the fire dragon, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. The spiritual magic he released only caused the dragon's head to emit bursts of white steam.
Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, the rising steam actually caused the overall temperature of the mountain gate to rise several degrees.
The leader of the Yuhuo Cult sneered, "Overestimating yourself."
The elders of the Qingwang Sect are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators, while the entire sect only has Yuxu Zi, a Body Integration stage cultivator.
Among the high-ranking members of the various immortal sects in the surrounding clouds, the lowest level was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and there were even more than one Mahayana stage cultivator like the Grand Elder.
Now that Yuxu Zi has been defeated by the Grand Elder the Golden Scale Holy Land and his fate is unknown, the remaining few elders of the Qingwang Sect, even if they fight with all their might, will find it difficult to cause any trouble for the Immortal Alliance with their Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
Disciples from various immortal sects rushed across the plaza without stopping, and the crowd split up, heading towards the various mountain peaks.
The situation is visibly one-sided.
The Qingwang Sect disciples inside the mountain gate quickly suffered heavy losses, and within just a few minutes, people from other immortal sects had already stormed into the main peak of the Qingwang Sect.
It was less of a battle and more of an advance by these allied forces of immortal sects.
They encountered very little resistance along the way that could slow them down.
The library and treasury were among the most severely affected.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Various Mana attacks created a continuous series of explosions.
Inside a cave on Yuxia Peak.
When Senior Brother Chang returned to the cave, his face was pale, and his original white clothes were torn and stained with blood, clearly indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.
Shi Qingyu huddled in a corner of the cave, shivering, and asked, "Senior Brother Chang, what do we do now?"
Before Lu Bai appeared, Senior Brother Chang was the eldest disciple of the Qingwang Sect, so naturally he wouldn't leave when the sect was in trouble.
He hadn't expected that Shi Qingyu would also secretly stay behind. By then, the Mountain Protecting Great Array had already been activated, so he had no choice but to settle this newly initiated junior sister in his cave.
Senior Brother Chang forced a smile, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get you out of here."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qingyu shook her head frantically, looking extremely anxious, and asked in a tearful voice, "What's happening outside? Is our Qingwang Sect really going to be wiped out?"
Just as Senior Brother Chang was about to comfort her, before he could even speak, he heard shouts coming from outside the cave.
"Come quickly, there's a cave here."
"There are also restrictions in place, Brother Yun. The art of array formations is now in the hands of your Spirit Array Sect. Come and see how you can break it."
"It's just ordinary concealment..."
Hearing the sounds coming from outside the cave, Senior Brother Chang roughly sensed them and his expression immediately changed drastically.
It's too late for regrets now.
He then shouted at Shi Qingyu, "The cultivation levels of the people outside are no lower than mine. You quickly hide, I'll lure them away. Remember, don't come out of the cave until everything has calmed down."
Senior Brother Chang seized the opportunity, took the initiative to break the restriction, and then made a fierce move.
After injuring one person, it quickly flew away in the opposite direction.
However, before he could even pick up speed...
Call out!!!
A piercing, chilling whistling sound came from afar, growing louder as it approached.
Judging from the speed at which the sound increased, it appeared to have moved from the horizon to the sky in almost an instant.
Every single high-ranking member of the various immortal sects in the clouds was utterly shocked.
Their cultivation level was high enough that they could tell what it was.
This speed wasn't about Dao or Dharma, but a kind of speed that none of them could comprehend—pure speed, so fast that it surpassed the speed limits of Mahayana stage cultivators.
Even the higher-ups of the immortal sects found it hard to imagine. They were certain that even if one's understanding of the Great Dao such as wind, thunder, or light were perfect, it would still be impossible to reach such an exaggerated level due to the limitations of the cultivator themselves.
In an instant, the dark figure appeared before the Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land as if in a flash.
A punch, so strange that its trajectory was impossible to discern, slammed down, its terrifying force creating visible ripples, like a pebble falling into a river, sending outward concentric circles of waves through the air.
The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land, Mahayana stage cultivator standing at the pinnacle of all cultivators, was sent flying by a single punch.
It pierced through two mountains before crashing to the ground like a meteorite, causing a massive earthquake.
Lu Bai waved his hand, dispelling the darkness around him, and stood suspended in the air.
In fact, aside from traversing the void, it would be impossible for him to arrive so quickly under normal circumstances, not even for a Mahayana stage cultivator.
His ability to traverse most of Xuanzhou in such a short time was mainly due to [Ink Dye] and the restored [Act Under Cover of Darkness the Cover of Darkness].
Only by cultivating to the Mahayana stage and increasing speed by more than ten times could one achieve what others would consider a miracle.
However, such a breathtaking way of traveling also took a toll on him. He quickly switched from [Act Under Cover of Darkness] to [Super Regeneration] to ensure that his stamina bar could recover from the Faded One to the Chosen One.
Lu Bai's gaze swept across the faces of the high-ranking officials of the various immortal sects in the clouds, and he couldn't help but reveal a genuine smile.
Am I late?
