A Bloody Battle Between the Two Sects! Take Your Interception Sect Beasts and Get Out of Kunlun Mountain!

Boom!

Space trembled, mountains collapsed, and the earth split apart.

Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person joined forces to fend off the ferocious Lu Ya. Their scattered mana swept through the surroundings, reducing spirit flowers and trees to dust and sending birds and beasts fleeing in all directions.

"You mongrel Golden Crow, how foolish and laughable! Even if you are an early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, my junior brother and I are not soft persimmons for you to knead as you please."

"Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!"

Taiyi True Person poured forth his mana, and nine divine fire dragons appeared out of thin air. Savage and terrifying, their divine might blazed as they blocked Lu Ya's Sun True Fire.

Puxian True Person also brought out his spiritual treasure, driving the mana of his peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation to its utmost limit.

Divine abilities flew, profound light surged.

The three-way melee immediately drew the attention of the other disciples from both sects.

Figures continuously gathered atop the mountains and above the clouds, all watching the scene. The three at the heart of the battlefield felt their blood and qi surge, and no longer held anything back in their attacks.

Blood splattered, and Golden Crow feathers drifted down.

The killing intent in their eyes steadily thickened, while Taiyi True Person put his talent for verbal combat to full use.

All manner of foul and obscene insults echoed through the skies above Kunlun Mountain, including no small number of slurs directed at Di Jun, Xihe, and the others.

At once, Lu Ya's fury burned to the heavens, and his reason gradually slipped away.

That's it!

Daoist Randeng secretly observed everything, an expression of scheming triumph on his face.

"Taiyi True Person, Puxian True Person, you are out of line!"

"Treasure, please turn around!"

Finally!

Lu Ya's rage erupted completely. He activated his own spiritual treasure—the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, wrapped in strange laws, locked onto the Primordial Spirits of Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person.

It transformed into a streak of light and flew forth to assassinate the two of them!

"This is bad!"

"Once the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger appears, all beneath Quasi-Sagehood must perish!"

Daoist Duobao sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly activated numerous spiritual treasures, intending to block the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

Zhao Gongming, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, and the other Interception Sect disciples also revealed looks of terror. They did not dare imagine the consequences should Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person fall.

Guangchengzi and Yuding Zhenren cried out, a feeling of helplessness rising in their hearts.

At the critical moment!

Daoist Randeng appeared in time, a fierce gleam in his eyes. Holding the Cosmic Ruler, he met the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger head-on. Yet the latter was, after all, a supreme treasure of slaughter—strange, unfathomable, and endlessly changeable.

Just as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger was about to bypass Daoist Randeng and continue its attack on Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person—

Daoist Randeng gritted his teeth and allowed the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to plunge into his chest. Then, using the Cosmic Ruler and Spirit Coffin Lamp, two top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures, he temporarily imprisoned it within his body.

However, blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and both his Primordial Spirit and true spirit had been affected.

"Vice Sect Master!"

Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person hurried forward and supported Daoist Randeng.

"Lu Ya of the Interception Sect has brazenly struck with lethal force against disciples of the Clarifying Sect, violating the rules of Xuanmen. He should be executed by all! Clarifying Sect disciples, follow this Daoist and suppress him!"

Guangchengzi could endure it no longer!

He brought out the Heaven-Overturning Seal and led the remaining Clarifying Sect disciples in a charge toward Lu Ya.

No matter how formidable Lu Ya's divine abilities were, he was forced back step by step for a time. The Sun True Fire surrounding his body gradually dimmed, while blood sprayed from his mouth as though it cost nothing.

"Interception Sect disciples, follow me and kill!"

Zhao Gongming was hot-blooded by nature and could not bear to see Lu Ya suffering.

Activating the twelve Sea-Calming Pearls, he led the outer disciples of the Interception Sect toward Guangchengzi and the others. Daoist Duobao, Kong Xuan, and the rest could only be forced to join the battle.

The melee between the Clarifying Sect and the Interception Sect erupted at this moment.

No one held back; every move was lethal!

"Stop!"

"Stop fighting!"

Ignoring his injuries, Daoist Randeng unleashed his Quasi-Sage aura like a raging torrent. He played a small trick, freezing Guangchengzi and the other Clarifying Sect disciples and pulling them out of the battlefield.

Yet the Interception Sect disciples were unaffected. Seeing Guangchengzi and the others suddenly retreat, they assumed their opponents had become fearful and afraid. They grew even more excited, their attacks becoming increasingly vicious.

In the blink of an eye, wounds had appeared on Guangchengzi and the others.

"Stop, stop!"

Daoist Duobao saw the situation clearly and hastily blocked the Interception Sect disciples whose killing intent was at its peak.

When everyone came back to their senses, their hearts skipped a beat.

Only because!

The Twelve Golden Immortals, Daoist Randeng, even South Pole Immortal Elder and White Crane Boy, the attendant disciples of Primordial Celestial Worthy—all bore injuries, their faces especially aggrieved.

"Junior Brother Duobao, your Interception Sect has gone too far!"

"First, Lu Ya, with the cultivation of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, took the initiative to harm Taiyi and Puxian. Then he activated the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger in an attempt to take their lives, gravely injuring Deputy Sect Leader Randeng. And now, you seek to wipe out the disciples of our Clarifying Sect to the last!"

"You can explain this matter to the three Saints yourselves!"

South Pole Immortal Elder's face was livid as he angrily rebuked Daoist Duobao.

Before Primordial Celestial Worthy had attained the Dao and become a Saint, South Pole Immortal Elder had already followed at his side. Though his status was that of an attendant disciple, among the disciples of the Clarifying Sect, only Guangchengzi, the chief disciple, ranked above him.

South Pole Immortal Elder had always been a highly respected man of kind and gentle temperament, yet now he was enraged for the rarest of reasons, every word an accusation against Daoist Duobao.

"Please, let me explain!"

Daoist Duobao forced himself to remain calm, wanting to soothe South Pole Immortal Elder.

But all he received in return were repeated cold snorts!

At that moment!

Grand Pure One Laozi's voice rang out.

"Disciples of the Clarifying Sect and members of the Interception Sect, all come to Jade Void Palace to discuss this matter!"

Neither sorrowful nor joyful, utterly devoid of emotion.

Yet upon hearing Grand Pure One Laozi's Dao voice, everyone fell silent. Lu Ya in particular turned ashen-faced, while Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person secretly rejoiced.

In this matter, the Clarifying Sect held the moral high ground. Grand Pure One Laozi certainly would not favor the Interception Sect!

Jade Void Palace.

Grand Pure One Laozi, Primordial Celestial Worthy, and Lord Tongtian sat cross-legged atop cloud platforms.

The instant Lu Ya fought Taiyi True Person and Puxian True Person, Primordial Celestial Worthy had summoned Grand Pure One Laozi and Lord Tongtian. What happened afterward truly shocked them.

The discord between the Clarifying Sect and the Interception Sect was something everyone knew.

But!

Lu Ya had struck to kill, and the Interception Sect disciples had shown no mercy. This was the first time such a thing had happened on Kunlun Mountain.

At this moment, Primordial Celestial Worthy and Lord Tongtian were forcibly suppressing their fury. The former especially felt as though his dignity had been pressed to the ground and rubbed raw.

With his protective nature, he would not let this matter pass so easily!

A moment later!

The Clarifying Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, Daoist Randeng, South Pole Immortal Elder, and White Crane Boy stood in the center of Jade Void Palace, dragging their injury-riddled bodies behind them. The members of the Interception Sect stood along both sides of the hall.

"Master, please uphold justice for us!"

"The disciples of the Interception Sect disregarded the bond between fellow disciples, taking the initiative to provoke a bloody battle and striking ruthlessly at us. Unless the ringleader Lu Ya is executed, it will not quell the fury of our Clarifying Sect, nor restore its honor."

Guangchengzi's words struck the ground like iron, impassioned and righteous.

The Clarifying Sect followed Heaven and revered ritual, elucidating the Heavenly Dao. The Interception Sect taught without distinction, seizing a single thread of heavenly opportunity.

Their doctrines differed, and their views clashed.

Furthermore, Primordial Celestial Worthy had never approved of Lord Tongtian's ways. The latter accepted disciples indiscriminately without properly teaching or guiding them, turning Kunlun Mountain into a foul miasma of chaos. Thus, the Clarifying Sect disciples bore deep hostility toward the Interception Sect disciples.

Now that the Clarifying Sect held the moral high ground, Guangchengzi naturally would not yield in the slightest. Instead, he intended to confront them before the three Saints and beat the dog that had fallen into the water.

"It was clearly Taiyi and Puxian who first spoke without restraint, insulting Junior Sisters Three Xiao and several junior brothers, including Lu Ya. Junior Brother Lu Ya has a fiery temper, so he made his move."

"If you wish to fight the Interception Sect to the death, I, Zhao Gongming, will be the first to oblige you. No need to confront one another before the Saints—how about we settle this with our hands?"

His voice boomed like thunder.

Pointing at Guangchengzi, Zhao Gongming roared in indignant fury.

In an instant!

Within Jade Void Palace, the disciples of both sects stirred restlessly, and killing intent continued to gather.

Upon the cloud platforms!

Grand Pure One Laozi remained as still as a mountain, eyes upon his nose, nose upon his heart. Primordial Celestial Worthy and Lord Tongtian exchanged a glance, each harboring his own calculations.

Primordial Celestial Worthy looked down upon the crowd, his gaze lingering on Daoist Randeng for a long time. How could he not know what this Deputy Sect Leader of the Clarifying Sect was thinking? Yet he did not expose it.

The separation of the Three Pure Ones was the inevitable tide of fate.

Since that was so, better a short pain than a long one. Why not cut through the tangled mess with a swift blade?

Kunlun Mountain could only accommodate one of the three sects!

His expression turning faintly stern, Primordial Celestial Worthy said in a frigid voice, "Born of dampness and hatched from eggs, furred and horned, ignorant of the Heavenly Dao and unfit for instruction! Third Brother, these are the disciples you value? There is not one decent among them."

"What 'ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage,' what 'teaching without distinction'—all of it is bullshit! These beasts have thrown Kunlun Mountain into turmoil, leaving chickens flying and dogs leaping. Today, you must give me an explanation."

"Otherwise, take these beasts and get out..."
