Forcing Back the Myriad Spirits Sect
Zhou Lin had initially stepped onto the arena with great momentum, but when he saw Zhang Yang bring out the Qingxu Pagoda, he instantly calmed down.
I can't afford to be impulsive; this is Law Treasure that surpasses even the power of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
But he was already halfway there, and if he continued like this, he would lose face.
For a time, he was caught in a dilemma.
"Senior brother, let's take him down!" A disciple from the Myriad Spirits Sect rushed onto the arena. "He's already fought two matches. I don't believe he still has that much spiritual power left. With so many of us, surely we can kill him?"
Zhang Yang immediately activated the Qingxu Pagoda and pointed it at the Nascent Soul Realm disciple who had spoken. A bolt of lightning the thickness of a thumb pierced through the head of the Nascent Soul had just stepped onto the arena like a laser beam.
Another one died.
Zhang Yang held Qingxu Pagoda Void Pagoda in his hand, channeling his spiritual power into it, and coldly looked at the group of people from the Myriad Spirits Sect.
Anyone who dares to step into the ring, he'll kill!
Seeing another of their fellow disciples die, the Myriad Spirits Sect were filled with rage and immediately prepared to rush onto the arena.
Behind Zhang Yang, Situ Mingyue and the other three people, including Qingxu, immediately came out from inside the Formation Space carrying a pile of Talisman.
Facing two Nascent Soul Realm had just rushed onto the stage, he threw out four Talisman, directly blasting Nascent Soul Realm off the stage.
Zhang Yang looked down at the arena and said coldly, "All irrelevant people, step back. Don't blame me for dragging you into this when I lose control of my Law Treasure."
The other major sects below the arena were already stunned.
They never expected that someone would suddenly die in the arena, where no one had died in over a month.
The one who died was Zhou Qing, a famous figure from the Myriad Spirits Sect.
Of course, Zhou Qing's fame wasn't due to his genius, but rather because he cultivated the Yin-Yang Harmony Art and had a good father!
Next, the Myriad Spirits Sect and Zhang Yang and his group actually adopted a posture of war.
Zhang Yang and his group, however, were not intimidated at all. They took out their Law Treasure and Talisman and started fighting!
Some sects quietly retreated.
Although they had conflicts with the Azure Cloud Sect, and even their stronghold was wiped out by Zhang Yang and his men, they suffered very few casualties, and their hatred for the Azure Cloud Sect was not that deep.
Moreover, if the Myriad Spirits Sect can truly exploit Zhang Yang's hidden strength, their opportunity will come next.
The Langya Sacred Land, which harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Azure Cloud Sect, the Great Snow Mountain, which is suspected of having a grudge One-Guard Monastery the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Azure Cloud Sect due to Qingxu, all retreated slowly after a moment of contemplation.
Only the Myriad Spirits Sect remained, standing alone below the arena.
At this time, the Myriad Spirits Sect still had about seventy members left.
More than half of the seventy people were holding Law Treasure, their eyes fixed fiercely on the arena.
The group was furious; they had never been provoked like this before.
Zhang Yang stared directly at the group of the Myriad Spirits Sect members and said with a sneer, "You are a disgusting sect. I've wanted to deal with you for a long time. You lure away the True Disciple of other sects, you lure away cultivators from the Azure Cloud Continent, you harm the people of the Azure Cloud Continent... Since you have no shame, I will completely strip you of your faces. If you have the guts, come up here. I guarantee I will grant your wish and ensure that not a single member of your Myriad Spirits Sect will survive this time!"
Because of his traitorous senior brother Zheng Qianqiu and the fact that the Myriad Spirits Sect took away Azure Cloud Continent, he harbored a deep anger towards the people of the Myriad Spirits Sect.
Now is the perfect time to settle scores with the Myriad Spirits Sect.
Zhou Lin shuddered slightly. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Our Myriad Spirits Sect will abide by your rules. Tomorrow morning, I will be the first to challenge you!"
Seeing the actions of the other eight major sects, he knew they had become cannon fodder.
Whether they could defeat the Azure Cloud Sect or not is another matter; they all benefited other sects.
Moreover, they really cannot face the Qingxu Pagoda in Zhang Yang's hands!
If a major war breaks out, all of their Myriad Spirits Sect members on the Prodigy Battlefield might really be wiped out.
This place contains some of the most talented individuals of the Myriad Spirits Sect in this era. If they all die here, it will mean a gap in the Myriad Spirits Sect pool for the next generation.
Besides, the Myriad Spirits Sect has elders outside, so these few people from the Azure Cloud Sect can't escape even if they leave the Prodigy Battlefield.
If that's the case, why would they risk their lives?
Therefore, Zhou Lin chose to retreat!
"Give us back the bodies of our sect's disciples. We want to take them back," Zhou Lin continued. "If you don't even agree to this, then I'll fight you to the death right now!"
This was his final line.
Zhang Yang sneered, "Don't worry, I have more self-respect than you, and I understand reason better than you! Tomorrow morning, I'll accept your challenge!"
After he finished speaking, he led his men back into the Formation Space.
Zhou Lin silently called for people to go up to the arena and retrieve the bodies of Zhou Qing and the others.
Seeing this, the members of other major sects couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
Instead of taking advantage of the situation, everyone remained silent in their respective camps.
Everyone knew that after today's incident, the upcoming arena challenges would likely become bloody!
Outside the Nine Great Sects, people from various other sects who had silently arrived witnessed everything.
Many people were truly astonished by what they saw on the ring.
The Azure Cloud Sect only has a few people, yet they forced the Myriad Spirits Sect to bow down?
Even more so, could it make the other major sects bow down?
If the previous challenges could be considered concessions from several major sects, then this can be seen as a direct confrontation that forces them to retreat.
In an instant, all the geniuses in the Immortal Cultivation Realm remembered the Azure Cloud Sect and Zhang Yang and his group.
Ba Qingyan and the others from the Snow Region looked at Zhang Yang's prowess on the arena with envious eyes.
"It's a pity we can't befriend the Azure Cloud Sect, otherwise it would be wonderful," Ba Qingyan said regretfully.
If they befriend the Azure Cloud Sect, the Great Snow Mountain will definitely suppress them.
Their strength is far inferior to that of the Great Snow Mountain.
The other companions also shook their heads regretfully.
"He surely won't renege on his promise regarding our heavenly materials and earthly treasures, right?" someone asked worriedly. "He's so fierce; if he doesn't honor his debt, we won't get them back!"
Ba Qingyan gave a wry smile and said, "I don't think there should be any problems."
At this moment, on the arena, the people of the Myriad Spirits Sect silently picked up the bodies of Zhou Qing and the others, all of them holding back a surge of anger.
Zhou Lin glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "Instead of being powerless and furious, you should focus on improving your strength. Don't bother me; I need to cultivate in peace."
He has a crucial battle tomorrow.
Inside the Formation Space on the arena, Zhang Yang sat cross-legged, took Origin-Restoring Pill to restore his spiritual power, and then asked Qingxu, "Do you know anything about Zhou Lin?"
Qingxu shook his head and said helplessly, "Before these core prodigies entered the Prodigy Battlefield, each sect kept them tightly under wraps, making it impossible to find any information about them. For example, this Zhou Lin, we had never heard of him before. So, we have no idea what Cultivation Method he knows or how strong he is. However, you should be able to see the strength of these core prodigies from Kong Xiuping and Leng Qingfeng."
Zhang Yang nodded slightly and then asked, "Does the Myriad Spirits Sect have any famous Cultivation Method? Or any unique Cultivation Method?"
"The Myriad Spirits Sect has a long history, and its famous Cultivation Method are too numerous to count. You can't glean anything from them." Qingxu shook his head helplessly. He had never been interested in learning about these things before, so how could he know anything about them?
Qingxu said with a somewhat solemn expression, "This Zhou Qing is a problem... I didn't expect you to kill him directly!"
Zhang Yang shrugged. "I originally just wanted to beat him to a pulp, but he insisted on forcing me to kill him, so naturally I didn't hold back. From what you're saying, this kid has some kind of background?"
Qingxu gave a wry smile and said, "The Myriad Spirits Sect has two Tribulation Transcendence Realm, one of whom is Zhou Qing's father! Otherwise, how do you think he's managed to escape unscathed all these years? The only good news is that his father only underwent his Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the last few decades!"
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "I can only hope that Master can hold on!"
A person who has just entered the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, his master said he seems to be able to fight.
Besides, how many rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures has he obtained now?
If we go back and let his master Tribulation Transcendence Realm directly, wouldn't that be a perfect way to defeat Zhou Qing's father?
