No need for formalities.
True Lord Jihai's clear voice rang out, Chen Shuangbai felt a surge of light lifting her up.
He felt as if a veil had been torn away before his eyes, allowing him to clearly see the true faces of the four True Lord and the different injuries they bore.
Purple flames swirled around True Lord Jihai's body, like a malignant sore on his robes, taking the shape of birds. However, they were constantly being chased and strangled by the dragon-like creatures formed by the Vast Waves Xuanwen. Occasionally, streaks of azure water could be seen, only to be swallowed up by the Xuan Pool beneath him.
But the most deadly thing wasn't the purple flames, but the limp arm, which had clearly disappeared.
Many burn marks appeared on his face, and water-based divine light could be seen spreading from them, slowly repairing the injuries.
Sword Lord Yuan Jun was also seriously injured, and he pulled up a cloud to cover his true appearance, but occasionally one could see the form of birds made of purple fire taking flight, which showed how troublesome the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage Crimson Flame Demon Lord was.
The one with the lightest injuries was the True Lord Danzhao of the Heavenly Star Alliance.
He was merely a little weak.
Chen Shuangbai's gaze returned to her True Lord, and she said somewhat uneasily, " True Lord, you..."
True Lord Jihai didn't mince words, waving his hand and saying in a deep voice, "In order to extinguish the arrogance of the demon cave, I held off the Crimson Flame Demon Lord so that Fellow Yuan Jun could wield his sword. I was struck by his Bing Sun Divine Lamp, but my soul is intact, only my physical body is damaged. I'll recover quickly."
True Lord Huoyang, however, sighed with emotion, saying, "To contend against that old fire crow wielding the Bing Sun Divine Lamp with Nascent Soul Early Stage stage cultivation... Alliance Leader, you are still too modest."
True Lord Jihai replied, "It's all for the sake of the alliance... and we also owe a debt to Fellow Yuan Jun for that Sword Intent!"
"What a pity."
Sword Lord Yuan Jun's clear voice echoed from behind the clouds, agreeing, "It wasn't solely my achievement; it was left to me by my senior brother. This trip, by annihilating that Nascent Soul Early Stage Earth Chi Demon Lord, can be considered making the most of his abilities. It's no pity."
Chen Shuangbai immediately understood.
No wonder those Three-Tailed Yellow Jackal launched attacks like madmen these days, and then retreated at lightning speed, leaving only the Crimson Fire Crow and the Black Spirit Python... It turns out that their ancestor has already perished!
It wasn't that Chen Shuangbai was unaware of the fall of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord, but rather that, having remained on the edge of the battlefield rather than delving into its depths, the news hadn't yet reached his ears.
Chen Shuangbai's face lit up with joy, and she cupped her hands, saying, "Congratulations to the four True Lord on your resounding victory in slaying the Demon Lord of Gen Earth Cave. This battle is enough to deter the Demon Cultivator of the three caves and make them dare not underestimate our Vast Waves Alliance again."
Immediately, Chen Shuangbai turned to Sword Lord Yuan Jun, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank Sword Lord, for sacrificing an extremely precious Sword Intent to slay the Demon Lord and severely damage the Demon Cave's power!"
This bow was sincere and earnest, without the slightest pretense.
He was also someone who had comprehended the Sword Intent, and he deeply understood Sword Intent preciousness.
Moreover, it was Sword Intent at the Nascent Soul level, which must have come from the Sword Alliance's only Sword Immortal.
After the clouds dispersed, Sword Lord Yuan Jun's voice, though somewhat weak, remained cheerful. "No need for such formalities. The Holy Origin Alliance has already broken a taboo by bringing Demon Cultivator ashore."
"My senior brother gifted me this Sword Intent precisely for this kind of moment."
True Lord Jihai nodded slightly and said, " Yuan Jun's noble character will be forever remembered by me."
"If the Sword Alliance ever needs our assistance in the future, the Vast Waves Alliance will certainly do its utmost to help."
Sword Lord Yuan Jun waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities."
"Although the Earth Chi Demon Lord has been destroyed, his remaining forces have retreated somewhat for the time being. However, the Crimson Fire Cave and the Black Wall Cave still exist, especially the Crimson Flame Demon Lord. The Bing Sun Divine Lamp in his hand is extremely powerful. Although he was injured this time, it did not fundamentally damage him."
"He will definitely retaliate fiercely next, so we need to prepare as soon as possible."
What followed was a private conversation between Nascent Soul. Chen Shuangbai had come here specifically to ascertain the state of the Nascent Soul battle, and now that it was confirmed, there was nothing more for him to do.
The title of "Grand True Person in the Late Golden Core Stage stage" sounds impressive, but compared to Nascent Soul cultivator... they are still utterly helpless.
"[ Pengyu Heaven ] is about to appear in the world, right?"
Yong Kingdom, Heavenly Star Alliance.
This alliance was formed by the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect taking the lead, with the Crimson Cloud Sect assisting it, and minor sects such as the Mystic Tranquility Palace groveling beneath these two sects, thus creating a great alliance capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Arrayed Mystery Sect sect.
Heavenly Pivot Hall deep within the main altar, several Nascent Soul auras remained hidden, echoing within the hall.
Seated in the center was an elderly man dressed in a dark blue Daoist robe. His face was thin and his eyes were slightly closed. He wore a star-patterned robe, on which starlight shimmered, making him appear extremely mysterious.
It was none other than the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, the True Monarch True Lord Baishi Nascent Soul Late Stage.
At this moment, the True Lord Baishi held a white chess piece, smooth and lustrous like jade, in his hand and gently placed it on the chessboard in front of him, making a crisp sound.
Her opponent was a Daoist nun in a crimson palace dress, her white hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, her sleeves fluttering, reminiscent of the abbots of ancient temples.
This person is True Lord Mingxia of the Crimson Cloud Sect, with a cultivation level of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and is also the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Crimson Cloud Sect.
True Lord Mingxia held the black chess piece and gently placed it on a certain spot, smiling as she said, "Judging by the time, it's indeed about time."
The female True Lord paused, then said hesitantly, "These are turbulent times; do we really need to enter this Grotto-Heaven to seek fortuitous opportunity?"
True Lord Baishi's expression remained calm and unchanged, his aura as profound as the stars in the heavens. He slowly said, "This was established by the ancestors of the Six Sects; there's no reason for it to be lost in our generation."
Upon hearing this elder of the Heavenly Star Alliance speak in this manner, the unease in True Lord Mingxia's eyes subsided slightly. While playing chess with him, she said, "But those demons of the Holy Origin Alliance have brought Demon Cultivator ashore, which may cause many complications."
True Lord Baishi placed a piece, and the piece made a crisp sound on the board.
His expression was calm, his aura pure, as if all the conflicts in the outside world had nothing to do with him or the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect. He slowly said, "The fact that the Holy Origin Alliance brought Demon Cultivator ashore is certainly a disaster, but it is not necessarily all bad."
Upon hearing this, True Lord Mingxia did not ask any further questions, but instead lowered her eyes slightly, her thoughts unknown.
After a moment's hesitation, the Kunxiu True Lord slowly spoke, saying, "In that case, my Crimson Cloud Sect will fully cooperate with the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect to prepare for entering Pengyu Heaven."
True Lord Baishi remained silent, his gaze never shifting across the chessboard, as if everything was under his control.
Jade Spring Sect.
True Person Mei used a jade sword to send a message back to Chen Shuangbai, informing him that Pengyu Heaven was about to appear in the world.
" Pengyu Heaven?"
Chen Shuangbai was hearing the name of this Grotto-Heaven Grotto-Heaven the first time, and asked about its origin with some curiosity.
