Yuan Tiangang watched the spatial rift slowly close, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he didn't pursue.
He could clearly sense the terrifying pressure of the Land Immortal realm contained within the rift. If he had truly pushed the other party to desperation and forcibly intervened, even with his formidable strength, he would have paid a considerable price.
"Lord Suan Jue, what was that just now...?" Di Yun stepped forward and asked solemnly.
"Time Stop used by a Land Immortal," Yuan Tiangang replied.
"If Zhuge Xiu was rescued by them, he'll likely recover from his injuries soon. He got off easy this time," Di Yun said with a sigh.
"Zhuge Xiu being rescued, while seemingly saving his life, means his severe injuries will be difficult to heal, and his soul is also heavily damaged."
"The power that forcibly tore space and brought him in there is enough to damage his soul."
"Without a soul-nourishing treasure of over a thousand years, he'll find it difficult to recover his peak strength in this lifetime, and even his Heavenly Human realm cultivation will regress significantly."
Yuan Tiangang withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke, his voice carrying across the entire area.
Upon hearing this, Di Yun, Linghu Chong, and the others were all visibly shaken.
"The purpose of establishing dominance has been achieved; we cannot linger here."
Yuan Tiangang surveyed the corpses and blood scattered across the ground, his tone steady. "Clean up the mess and prepare to withdraw."
At this moment, the onlookers on the surrounding pavilions were already in an uproar, with various exclamations and discussions echoing ceaselessly, deafeningly loud.
"Heavens! Did I see that right? The Misty Rain Pavilion was hiding a Heavenly Human realm expert!"
"And their strength is far greater than the Great Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect!"
A watching cultivator, his face full of shock, grabbed his companion's arm, his voice trembling, his fingernails almost digging into the other's flesh.
The companion beside him also had a stunned expression and nodded subconsciously.
"More than just strong! Didn't you see? The Great Elder of the Azure Cloud Sect was kicked flying by him just now, with no chance to retaliate!"
"And, and! When the spatial rift appeared earlier, did you all feel it? Time seemed to stop for a few breaths!"
"That pressure... it was too terrifying, I felt like I couldn't even breathe!"
Another cultivator leaned in, his face full of lingering fear.
"That was definitely a powerful being from the Land Immortal realm who made a move! The foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect is truly unfathomable!"
"Nonsense! The Azure Cloud Sect is one of the top powers in the Eastern Domain. If they didn't even have a Land Immortal ancestor, how could they have stood for so many years?"
"But even so, the Azure Cloud Sect still lost! The Misty Rain Pavilion truly ground the Azure Cloud Sect's face into the dirt this time!"
Inside the Immortal Seeking Tower in Qingzhou City, Xing Luoyao slowly curled her lips.
A hint of intrigued light flashed in her eyes. She lightly fanned herself, her voice crisp as a bell, with a touch of playfulness.
"Who would have thought! Who would have thought! This Misty Rain Pavilion is truly not simple!"
"To actually force the ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect to personally intervene and rescue someone, only to leave behind a harsh word, is quite interesting."
The maid beside her asked in a low voice, "Miss, will the sudden rise of the Misty Rain Pavilion affect our influence when we emerge?"
"Affect?" Xing Luoyao chuckled. "Not necessarily! I think we can try to build a good relationship with them. In this chaotic Eastern Domain, having more friends is always good."
With that, she turned and left, her skirt swaying as she disappeared by the window.
As the great battle concluded, other observing powers also quietly dispersed, filled with shock and apprehension.
The final outcome of the battle between the Misty Rain Pavilion and the Azure Cloud Sect was a victory for the Misty Rain Pavilion. This day's battle was destined to become a topic of conversation in Qingzhou City for the next several months, even years. And the name of the Misty Rain Pavilion would resound like thunder throughout Qingzhou, and even the entire Eastern Domain!
On the battlefield, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, and the other four were already in motion. They moved as if strolling through a leisurely garden, weaving through the corpses of the Azure Cloud Sect elders and disciples, casually collecting the storage rings and Qiankun bags one by one. These items contained not only spirit stones, elixirs, and cultivation techniques, but also represented a considerable gain for the Misty Rain Pavilion.
A moment later, the five finished inventorying the spoils and walked up to Yuan Tiangang, bowing respectfully. "Lord Yuan, we have finished cleaning up."
Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly, and the Heavenly Human realm pressure radiating from him suddenly spread out, forming an invisible barrier that completely concealed everyone's aura.
"Let's go, back to the Eternal Night Space."
As the words fell, Yuan Tiangang took the lead, followed closely by Di Yun, Linghu Chong, and the others. The group's figures flickered, like phantoms, silently merging into the night and disappearing at the end of Qingzhou City's streets. No one noticed their tracks, as if these killers who had just stirred up a storm had never appeared.
At the same time, within the Eternal Night Space, Ye Junlin's mind suddenly heard the system's crisp prompt.
[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the plan to shatter the Azure Cloud Sect's scheme, annihilated the invading enemy, and established the prestige of the Misty Rain Pavilion, a subordinate force of the Eternal Night Empire, making the various powers in Qingzhou dare not underestimate them!]
[Mission Complete! Reward issued: 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, Random Earth-grade Martial Skill *1!]
Ye Junlin, who was sitting cross-legged on the main hall, heard the system's prompt and suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of wild joy in them!
