That Tune
The gates of Profound Yin Immortal City opened.
Ao Wushuang hurriedly led the envoy inside.
Before long, he and the messenger arrived at a grand hall.
The envoy was led into the main hall, while Ao Wushuang was left behind.
Inside the main hall.
An elderly man with a full head of white hair looked at the messenger who was brought in, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"Who dares to lay a hand on the people of Xuan Yin Immortal City?!"
He slammed his hand on the table.
On the table beside him, there were more than a dozen flutes of various kinds.
That was his Law Treasure.
"Reporting to Elder Profound Flute, a few days ago, news was received in the city that traces of the Immortal Lord Formation Breaking Song had appeared in a certain lower realm."
"So I sent Qin Zhen to investigate."
"Unexpectedly, he was brought back. Judging from his injuries... he was likely injured by some kind of terrifying sonic wave!"
A middle-aged man stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, Elder Profound Flute, who was sitting at the head of the table, immediately darkened his expression!
He waved his hand.
A beam of light fell upon the envoy, Qin Zhen.
He sensed it for a moment, then suddenly raised an eyebrow!
"It really was caused by some kind of musical sound..."
He spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback.
"How could there be Immortal Lord Formation Breaking Song in the mortal realm?"
"Impossible, our lineage has no branches in the lower realm."
"Could it be that the traitors from our lineage escaped to the mortal realm years ago?"
Everyone was very puzzled.
Profound Flute pondered for a moment, then immediately infused Qin Zhen's body with spiritual power.
Qin Zhen, who was on the verge of death, suddenly started coughing.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Profound Flute asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the Elder, I went to Holy Cloud City and entered the lower realm, but I discovered that the immortal energy there is even more concentrated than in our Xuan Yin Immortal City..."
Qin Zhen then weakly recounted everything that had happened in the lower realm.
Inside the main hall, everyone's expression changed drastically!
"Among the millions of lower realms, the Three Great Heavenly Realms reign supreme, yet even the Three Great Heavenly Realms cannot possess such an environment!"
"Could it be that some major event has occurred in the lower realm?"
"This is terrifying! Hearing a few ethereal notes of a zither from billions of miles above has injured a Taiyi Golden Immortal to this extent..."
Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn!
"Could there truly be such terrifying music in the mortal realm?"
Profound Flute pondered!
--In their lineage, there was once a traitor who deserted the sect.
For years, they have been searching for the Immortal Lord Formation Breaking Song, hoping to find that traitor through it!
"I must go there myself!"
Profound Flute immediately stood up, his expression extremely solemn.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was even more shocked.
How could a mere mortal realm have alarmed a Great Luo Golden Immortal?
Soon.
Profound Flute personally returned to Holy Cloud City with Ao Wushuang.
When the various forces in Holy Cloud City learned that a Celestial General was actually going to personally take action, they were all extremely shocked.
They broke the boundary barrier once again!
Not long after, Ao Wushuang and Elder Profound Flute reappeared in the Heavenly Realm.
"This realm is indeed very strange..."
Profound Flute's expression shifted!
The spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than in their Xuan Yin Immortal City!
It must be understood that Xuan Yin Immortal City is an immortal-level immortal city, renowned throughout the entire Northern Immortal Realm, while this place is merely a lower realm!
"The territory of this realm almost surpasses the great worlds within the Earth Character Realm, and is nearly on par with the Celestial Realm..."
He murmured, "Come, take me to the place where you heard that music!"
Soon, they arrived above the Cangli Mountain Range.
And at this moment.
Hundreds of millions of feet below the sky, on a mountain peak.
Ziling's painting is finished!
She let out a long sigh of relief.
That's a landscape painting!
It is extremely tranquil, just like a poem.
"Sister Ziling, one foot has stepped into immortality..."
Nan Feng sensed the change in Ziling's aura.
Sure enough, the teacher brought the two of them out to give them some pointers.
She is now able to control the notes of the immortal chapters with ease.
I will no longer be lost in those musical notes.
"Let's go, we should head back too."
Li Fan took a lazy nap on the big rock, then got up, stretched, and felt very comfortable.
Life should be lived in such a leisurely way.
Even cultivators aren't as carefree as I am, are they?
Li Fan couldn't help but smile.
Ziling and Nan Feng also packed up their things and prepared to go down the mountain.
But at that moment, two people suddenly appeared on the mountain peak!
A middle-aged man and an elderly man with silver hair.
The old man also had a flute tucked into his waistband.
It was none other than Profound Flute and Ao Wushuang.
Profound Flute glanced indifferently at Li Fan and the other two.
He roughly understood.
That man was a cripple, useless, and had no aura whatsoever.
These two women possessed extraordinary auras!
This is something that cultivators from the lower realms would never possess!
His heart immediately tightened, and he looked at Nan Feng!
"Not that traitor from back then..."
He murmured to himself, "Could it be some kind of traitor's disciple?"
Whoever it is, they deserve to die!
He immediately said in a cold voice:
"May I ask if you were playing the zither here just now?"
Nan Feng said calmly:
"Yes."
Profound Flute sneered and said:
"I also enjoy music. May I ask you, young lady, to play a piece and have a contest with me?"
As he spoke, he calmly took down the Iron Flute and gently blew it.
A powerful sonic wave instantly swept towards Li Fan and his companions!
This sound wave clearly carried a murderous intent!
"That's outrageous!"
With a flick of her paintbrush, Ziling dispersed the sound waves.
Nan Feng stopped Ziling, turned to look at Li Fan, and said:
"Teacher?"
She was asking a question.
Li Fan smiled and said:
"The old gentleman's flute playing isn't quite there yet, but since he wants to compete, please grant his request!"
Upon hearing the sound of Profound Flute's flute just now, he could tell that Profound Flute had probably been devoted to playing the flute for many years.
Unfortunately, they didn't even get close to the basics of the melody.
Upon hearing this, Nan Feng immediately took the guqin off her back and placed it on her lap.
"Please."
Nan Feng spoke calmly.
The Iron Flute immediately began to play again!
His flute playing was like the whistling of wind and the cry of cranes, conveying a sense of impending doom and power; it was deep, resonant, and extremely forceful!
As soon as the flute music was played, Ao Wushuang, who was next to him, hurriedly retreated, his whole body trembling!
That's terrifying.
However, the Nan Feng played the zither.
One by one, the piano notes flowed out.
In an instant, the old man's terrifying sonic waves were completely defeated!
Hiss!
Profound Flute gasped!
His white hair danced wildly as he instantly approached his full power, unleashing his entire cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Everything, yet nothing of it!
Nan Feng remained calm, then suddenly plucked a note that sounded like an iron cavalry charge.
"Ah--"
Profound Flute suddenly let out a miserable cry. As soon as the note was played, his Jade Flute shattered, and he staggered back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
His face was pale and he looked extremely unwell!
He's seriously injured!
"No... it's impossible, how could it really be the Immortal Lord Formation Breaking Song..."
A hint of fear crossed his old face!
Without hesitation, he turned and ran!
He was terrified, afraid that the other party would kill him to silence him!
Ao Wushuang hurriedly followed him and fled.
Behind him, Nan Feng simply put away his zither calmly.
She hasn't even played a note from the immortal chapter yet.
"That old gentleman is incredibly strong!"
At this moment, Li Fan smiled.
The opponent is incredibly strong; they were able to blow the Jade Flute apart.
This was the first time he had ever met someone so ruthless!
However, the old man's competitive spirit was truly too strong. He actually vomited blood on the spot and turned to leave just because his own musical skills were inferior to Nan Feng's?
That's so narrow-minded!
He shook his head and immediately said:
Let's go.
Before long, Li Fan and his two companions returned to the Small Courtyard.
As soon as they returned to the Small Courtyard, Little White jumped into Li Fan's arms, calling out affectionately.
Are you hungry?
Li Fan rubbed Little White's belly and said:
"Go make dinner!"
And at this moment.
In the Immortal Realm.
At the gate of Xuan Yin Immortal City.
"Ao Wushuang Holy Cloud City requests entry into the city. Your city's elder is dying!"
Ao Wushuang's trembling voice rang out once more!
On the walls of Xuan Yin Immortal City, the guards were all deceived.
Another one near death?
Or is he an elder?
This Ao Wushuang seems like Calamity Star!
The city gates were hurriedly opened.
When Elder Profound Flute was brought into the city, the entire Xuan Yin Immortal City trembled instantly!
Previously, he was just a minor Taiyi Golden Immortal, so there was no reaction at all.
But now... a Great Luo Golden Immortal is actually severely injured and near death?
The celestial generals in the city were all alarmed!
In an instant, everyone gathered in the main hall.
"What happened? How did Brother Profound Flute get so badly injured?"
"Unbelievable, this... this looks like it was injured by the sound of the zither?"
"I heard that Brother Profound Flute was a mortal investigating in the lower realms. How did he end up so badly injured?"
Everyone was shocked to see Profound Flute unconscious.
Meanwhile, they tried various medications, but they were unable to revive Profound Flute!
"Report to the Immortal Lord immediately!"
Finally, one of the immortal generals spoke with great solemnity!
Everyone nodded.
Not long after.
"The Immortal Lord has arrived!"
A loud shout came from outside the main hall.
An aura of immortality emanated from it instantly and subtly.
A woman in a yellow dress walked into the main hall. She had a graceful figure, carried a seven-stringed zither on her back, and wore a veil on her face.
Everyone in the hall bowed to her in unison!
"Greetings, Immortal Lord!"
They spoke in unison!
This woman was none other than the master of Xuan Yin Immortal City, Profound Yin Immortal Lord!
Profound Yin Immortal Lord's eyes, as clear as autumn water, swept across the scene before finally settling on Elder Profound Flute!
She only glanced at it, and her beautiful eyes suddenly welled up with emotion!
"This... this is..."
She stepped forward to check his injuries.
"How is this possible?! This melody... how could it appear in the mortal realm?!"
She was speechless!
Profound Yin Immortal Lord's loss of composure shocked many immortal generals.
What kind of music could so astound the immortal lord?
"Immortal Lord, this is..."
A celestial being asked a question with doubt.
"Immediately block all news!"
Profound Yin Immortal Lord spoke directly, saying:
"This matter must not be known to other forces, otherwise, there may be great disaster!"
Upon hearing this, all the celestial generals were shocked.
The situation is actually that serious?!
