The Clear and Turbid Spirit Treasure Besieged the Sect, Huoyang Angrily Questioned Bai Suwen

Setting Sun Sect.

As one of the three major sects of the Wu Country, the Setting Sun Sect practices fire magic and its style of doing things is considered intense. The small sects or cultivation Lineage under its command often suffer greatly.

After the establishment of the six major alliances, Setting Sun Sect, which had not joined any alliance, became wary and joined the Turbid Wave Pavilion of Canglan Pavilion; especially after receiving an invitation to a meeting from the Turbid Wave Pavilion not long ago, it became even more vigilant.

Inside the main hall of the Setting Sun Sect.

A burly man with a dark red face and a thick beard, dressed in a crimson Daoist robe, paced back and forth anxiously. In the main seat sat an old Daoist with fiery red hair and a red gourd hanging from his waist.

The former is Master True Person Qian, Golden Core True Person in charge of the Setting Sun Sect.

The latter is the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Setting Sun Sect, a Supreme Elder in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the True Lord Huoyang.

True Lord Huoyang seemed slightly displeased by the anxious pacing of True Person Qian below, and scolded, "Sit down properly! Your pacing back and forth like this is hardly the behavior of Golden Core cultivator!"

True Person Qian was immediately annoyed by his own ancestor's scolding.

However, he still couldn't hide his impatience and said, "True Lord, it's not that I'm impatient. As you know, the three sects of the Canglan Alliance just met in Yujin City of Wu Kingdom not long ago. It's hard to guarantee that they don't have designs on my Luoyang Sect."

Given the current situation, it's no wonder that True Person Qian is deeply worried.

Of the three sects to which the Vast Waves Alliance belongs, the Jing Kingdom is the most powerful in the Jade Spring Sect, and the Flower Washing Sword Sect in the Qian Kingdom is also far superior to the other two sects. As for Wu Country Kingdom... the Turbid Wave Pavilion is not particularly prominent and has been hiding in Heavenly Waves Lake for many years. It rarely participates in the struggle between the two sects, and even the outside world thinks that the only famous sects in Wu Country are the Setting Sun Sect and the Painstaking Heart Sect.

But True Person Qian knew that the foundation of the Turbid Wave Pavilion was definitely superior to his own.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he couldn't help but ask, " True Lord, if..."

True Lord Huoyang picked up the teacup beside him, took a small sip, and remained calm, as if he did not care about True Person Qian's anxiety at all.

After a while.

The Nascent Soul True Lord then slowly spoke, " Suwen, that fellow, is a man of detached temperament."

"Over the years, as long as our Setting Sun Sect doesn't cause trouble for her, the Turbid Wave Pavilion will just pretend that we didn't see anything."

"Don't worry about it."

"Even if the Vast Waves Alliance intends to harm my sect and the Painstaking Heart Sect, they will certainly try to reason with them and appeal to their emotions."

"Among the six major alliances, the Vast Waves Alliance has the weakest foundation. They will definitely be begging our Setting Sun Sect and Painstaking Heart Sect to join their alliance... Just wait, Nascent Soul True Lord will surely come to invite us!"

At that very moment--

The entire hall suddenly began to shake violently.

Both True Person Qian and True Lord Huoyang couldn't help but slightly tighten their expressions.

"This commotion... could it be the sect's protective formation?"

Just as True Person Qian was about to go outside to take a look, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, a disciple guarding the mountain stumbled into the hall, knelt on one knee, and said in a panic:

" True Lord, True Person... Something terrible has happened! Outside! Outside!"

The disciple was so flustered that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a moment.

True Person Qian pointed his finger, suppressing the disciple's panic, but before he could finish listening, his expression turned horrified.

" The True Lord Suwen of the Turbid Wave Pavilion has arrived outside with the inherited Law Treasure [ The Clear and Turbid Two Modes Ring ], and has already used that Supreme-Grade Law Treasure to completely surround our sect!"

"What?"

True Person Qian asked incredulously.

True Lord Huoyang then took a step forward, set off a burst of flames, and disappeared from the hall.

Outside the hall.

True Lord Huoyang looked up at the sky, his expression extremely solemn. He roared, his voice even cracking slightly, and questioned, " Suwen?! Our two families have never interfered with each other. You came here with treasures, and you start fighting without a word. What exactly do you mean by this?"

"Could it be that they intend to unleash two major formations?! To turn the entire Wu Country upside down?"

A layer of light, a mixture of clear and turbid, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloped the entire Setting Sun Sect's mountain gate.

Within that light curtain, pure energy rose and turbid energy sank, the two completely different forces intertwined and slowly rotated, drawing upon a massive amount of spiritual energy and water vapor, emanating a chilling pressure.

It was the prized possession of the Turbid Wave Pavilion — Low-Grade Spirit Treasure, the [ Clear and Turbid Two Modes Ring ].

The Spirit Treasure passed down from the founder of the Turbid Wave Pavilion are said to have been crafted in imitation of the Divine Ability of the innate pure and turbid energies. Once activated, the area of influence will vary in strength depending on the holder's Divine Ability and Law Power.

In this unique realm, Spiritual Qi is forcibly divided into pure and impure energies, forming a natural prison.

Those trapped within, if their cultivation level is insufficient, will even have their Law Power gradually stripped away, turning them into mortals.

True Lord Suwen's figure slowly emerged from the swirling pure and turbid energies, his sleeves fluttering, exuding the nobility and elegance of an ancient Qi Refining.

She looked at the enraged True Lord Huoyang, smiled, and slowly said, " Huoyang, I won't beat around the bush with you."

"The threat from the Holy Origin Alliance is like a thorn in my side. The Wu Country Kingdom is bound to be completely controlled by my Vast Waves Alliance. If your Setting Sun Sect is sensible, it will obediently join us... But I foresee that you, old Daoist priest, have a temper as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in a cesspool. Right now, you're probably still dreaming of making us come begging to join you!"

True Lord Huoyang's eye twitched, clearly his thoughts had been exposed, but he couldn't admit it, only sneering, " The Vast Waves Alliance has only just been established, yet it's already persecuting righteous sects like us. How is it any different from the Holy Origin Alliance, which is composed of demonic forces?"

True Lord Suwen shook his head and laughed, "I have neither the inclination nor the time to engage in verbal sparring with you here."

"The Alliance Leader has instructed the Turbid Wave Pavilion to swiftly pacify the Wu Country and bring the entire territory under our control... Huoyang, I will only ask you once: are you willing to join my Vast Waves Alliance to fight against the demonic path?"

True Lord Huoyang's anger flared up instantly.

He could never bear being looked down upon or bullied. Now, with True Lord Suwen pressing him with his Spirit Treasure, his anger was about to burst forth.

Bai Suwen! You've gone too far!

True Lord Huoyang roared, his long crimson hair moved without wind, and flames rose around him, turning half the sky crimson.

The crimson gourd at his waist suddenly flew out and hovered above his head. The gourd opened, and an extremely hot flame burst forth, transforming into a fire dragon tens of feet long, which coiled around him, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas.

True Lord Suwen sighed, "Then there's nothing to discuss!"

The next moment.

The layer of light, a mixture of clear and turbid energy, suddenly began to rotate, and an immense force descended upon the Setting Sun Sect's protective formation. The endless stream of clear and turbid energy, like thousands of silk ribbons or thousands of dragons, slowly rotated, like a giant millstone, gradually crushing the entire behemoth of the Setting Sun Sect into powder.

Amidst this boundless interplay of pure and turbid energies, True Lord Suwen's tone was utterly cold.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

" Huoyang, don't blame me!"
