Great Li Mountain.
Looking at the two Nascent Soul Late Stage and four Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators before him, the Great Shaman of the Dark Crow Tribe couldn't help but swallow hard, trying his best to maintain the demeanor of a Great Shaman, and intended to welcome the five of them inside.
But the young man in the rosy robes who was leading the group raised his hand to interrupt him, and said gently, "There's no need to trouble the high shaman. I just want the high shaman to cast another Shaman Incantation for me, to track that person in reverse."
What else could the high shaman of the Dark Crow Tribe say?
Now that the infamous Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal has come knocking on his door, how could he possibly refuse?
He made his decision after only a brief moment of thought, taking the mass of flesh sealed by Divine Ability and apologetically saying, "Please wait a moment, esteemed guests."
A familiar yet eerie sense of being watched came over me.
Unlike last time, this time the ancestral spirit of the Dark Crow Tribe only glanced at it before being stabbed by the two Sword Intent protecting its master from Chen Shuangbai. The chilling feeling emanating from the ground immediately receded.
The Azure Cloud Sword Lord, somewhat curious, whispered to the True Lord Qingchen beside him, "Is this what the Ancient Shaman left behind?"
True Lord Qingchen simply smiled, but said nothing more.
The Dark Crow Tribe has always maintained a secret good relationship with the Jade Spring Sect, but they haven't revealed much about the ancestral spirit to their own family. Therefore, it's best not to say too much about this matter to avoid offending both families.
Before long, the five emerged from the Great Li Mountain.
All eyes were drawn to the raven wood carving in Chen Shuangbai's hand.
It was the Soul-Chasing Crow Carving!
Old Man Fish Pillow sensed the faint, eerie feeling emanating from the raven wood carving, he sighed, "A relic from the ancient witch; it still has some depth after all."
Among their group were True Lord Qingchen and Azure Cloud Sword Lord, both at the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.
The Nascent Soul Middle Stage: Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, Old Man Fish Pillow, True Lord Suwen, and Sword Immortal Zhu Ling.
This lineup is practically capable of sweeping across the entire country and overseas.
This is what Chen Shuangbai prepared for Yuandu and Yan Nanlai.
After handing the Soul-Chasing Crow Carving to True Lord Qingchen, Chen Shuangbai instructed, " True Lord, Yuandu is now in your and Senior Qingyun's care."
True Lord Qingchen nodded slightly, accepted the raven wood carving, and said, "Understood. With this, I guarantee that Yuandu will not be able to escape."
This isn't True Lord Qingchen bragging.
He can now freely borrow the Divine Ability of the Yajie, making him far stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Add to that the Azure Cloud Sword Lord Nascent Soul Late Stage stage... As long as Yuandu hasn't reached the Nascent Soul Peak, once he's locked onto by the two of them, he'll only meet his demise.
"But what about you..."
True Lord Qingchen said with slight worry, "Compared to Yuandu, at least we have a general idea of Yuandu's background, but that traitor... we know very little about him."
"He's practiced that strange and demonic Devil Cultivation Method again; you'd better be careful."
good!
This time, Chen Shuangbai wanted to eliminate Yuandu and Yan Nanlai, two cultivators who were considered a cancer to the Jade Spring Sect and even the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent, in one fell swoop!
Chen Shuangbai nodded with a smile at True Lord Qingchen's words.
The group discussed the matter further.
A moment later.
True Lord Qingchen summoned the Soul-Chasing Crow Carving, and together with Azure Cloud Sword Lord, they tore through the void and chased after Yuandu to deal with him.
The void closed, and Chen Shuangbai withdrew his gaze, turning it back to the few fellow cultivators before him. He smiled and said:
"Now... it all depends on Fellow Daoist Hong Qing."
Yong Kingdom, Heavenly Star Mystic Sect.
After the mountain was sealed off, the power of this righteous sect rapidly declined. In the end, apart from the necessary branch residences and strongholds, all the disciples who were outside returned to the mountain and never came down again.
no way.
Before even making a move, the Nascent Soul Late Stage Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, True Lord Baishi, was already completely disoriented.
How dare the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect disobey?
In less than a few years, the reputation of the entire Heavenly Star Mystic Sect plummeted, clearly indicating that the sect's foundation had also suffered a setback.
The Crimson Cloud Sect and Mystic Tranquility Palace, which were originally affiliated with him, also began to stir, making outsiders increasingly believe that this so-called righteous sect was nothing more than a name.
As the Daoist Dao Child of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect and the most outstanding disciple of this generation, Hong Qing had no choice but to step forward and shoulder the responsibility of the entire sect while True Lord Baishi was in seclusion to sort out his State of Mind.
Although he never told anyone, he was deeply distressed.
That day.
The moon is high in the sky.
Hong Qing flew out of the sect's main hall alone, but instead of returning to his own cave abode, he landed in a mountain pavilion.
The starry night was dazzling, and silvery light shone down on the mountain gate of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect.
The once brightly lit scene, with its constant stream of spiritual light, has vanished, replaced by a few scattered lights flickering in the distance, making the place seem exceptionally desolate.
With Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal's order to seal the mountain, the entire Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect had no choice but to obediently accept it, which was indeed a fatal blow to morale and the sect's reputation.
Looking at the many empty buildings in the mountains, a sense of oppression echoed in Hong Qing's heart.
He sighed softly, took out a flask of turbid wine from his sleeve, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful.
The dignified acting sect leader of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, the most favored disciple of True Lord Baishi, and the future successor of the [ Five Dragons Five Luminaries Devil-Suppressing Wheel ], is now down and out.
The night breeze blew gently until it carried a wisp of unfamiliar energy to Hong Qing's senses.
"Who?"
The Xuanzong Dao Child suddenly turned around, and with a grab from the air, a long crimson halberd appeared, which he pressed directly against the chest of the newcomer.
The newcomer wore a dark green robe, had a thin face, high cheekbones, and two precious beads jingled in his right hand.
Those eyes gleamed with a faint, dark purple light.
"This rustic man greets the True Lord Zunquan."
The five-colored starlight on Hong Qing's body flashed, and the pressure of Nascent Soul Middle Stage fell on this person, but Hong Qing did not feel anything, only a sense of emptiness.
"Who are you? This is my sect's territory. How did you manage to barge in?"
Seeing this, the man was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled slightly, gently pushed aside the long spear pressed against his chest, and said with a smile, " Zunquan Daoist Zunquan, there is no need to be nervous. I have not come here with any ill intentions."
Hong Qing merely sneered, "You appeared here for no reason, and even my sect's protective formation couldn't stop you... You say you have no ill intentions, do you even believe it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the man was not annoyed at all; instead, he chuckled softly, his laughter carrying an indescribable composure.
" Zunquan... are you willing to accept this?"
Hong Qing frowned sharply, his body shimmering with starlight, as if about to burst forth, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I understand perfectly well."
The man stepped forward, suddenly closing in, his tone soft yet highly seductive. " The Heavenly Star Mystic Sect, a great sect of the righteous path, how glorious is it?"
But what about now?
"Just because of that damned Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal's words, we have to close the mountain for a hundred years, causing the sect's reputation to decline, disciples to scatter, and even you, the masters, to lose your prestige!"
"I'll just ask you one question: Fellow Daoist, are you content with this?"
Hong Qing's brows furrowed almost into a knot as he sharply interrupted the man, saying, "Shut up!"
"This is a matter for our sect. How can we allow someone like you, whose identity is unclear, to speak of it so casually?!"
A sea of stars gradually emerged behind him, with five light dragons shining with various colors wandering within it. Gradually, an immense power descended upon this place, bending the back of the man in the dark green robe before him considerably.
Even so, he remained calm and composed, a faint smile still playing on his lips. "Even if it's your esteemed master!"
"Shut up!"
"Even your esteemed master, True Lord Baishi, was so frightened that he went into seclusion and refused to emerge!"
I said, shut up!
The man remained unmoved, instead revealing a meaningful smile, "Very well, it's easy to shut me up... but you, fellow Daoist, as a Dao Child of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect Profound Sect, with your Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, are considered a top figure in the entire Celebrated Splendor Continent."
"But now you have to guard an empty mountain, watching helplessly as the sect declines day by day. Don't you feel even a little bit of resentment?"
