Want to Run? Destroy Daozhen
The Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner suddenly accelerated its rotation speed, and all the Dao patterns shone brightly.
The glass bead at the top suddenly contracted, then burst forth with an extremely thin beam of cyan light.
This pillar of light contained the full power of the Spirit Banner and was also the source of its killing move.
laugh.
The beam of light traveled at extreme speed, instantly passing through the gap in the great formation and shooting straight at Ancestor Xuanyuan's brow.
"Not good!"
The Ancestor Xuanyuan was so enraged that even the dead were terrified, and he twisted his body with all his might.
With a hiss, a beam of light grazed his shoulder, severing his entire left arm at the shoulder.
Blood gushed out, the wound was scorched by the light, the flesh was charred black, and even the soul was burned.
"Ah!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan let out a shrill scream and staggered backward.
The physical body of someone at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage is incredibly powerful, yet it proved so vulnerable to the attack of the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner.
"Ancestor!"
The disciples of the Daozhen Sect were completely panicked.
Our patriarch has been injured; how can we continue this battle?
Some people started secretly packing their belongings, preparing to flee.
Ancestor Xuanyuan clutched his wound, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with both fear and resentment.
He knew that if the fight continued, he would really die here today.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat to the secret passage in the back mountain!" Ancestor Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and ordered, "As long as we're alive, we can always fight again! Once the Immortal Lord's envoy arrives, we'll come back to kill him!"
He planned to abandon the mountain and flee.
As long as they can escape alive, there will still be a chance to turn the tide once the Immortal Lord messenger arrives.
"Trying to run?"
Li Yunjing's eyes turned cold.
Having finally cornered him, how could we possibly let him escape?
"Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner - Suppress Domain".
The spirit banner emitted rings of blue light, spreading out like ripples on water.
Wherever it passed, space seemed to freeze, and gravity suddenly increased dozens of times.
The Daozhen Sect disciples, who were fleeing towards the back mountain, suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, making it difficult for them to move.
Ancestor Xuanyuan's speed also decreased sharply.
He was, after all, at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and could barely hold on, but his speed was several times slower.
"Li Yunjing! You have gone to extremes and will surely be punished by heaven!" Ancestor Xuanyuan roared.
"Divine retribution?" Li Yunjing sneered, "When you attacked my Luozhen Sect, weren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
With a flick of his right hand, the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword appeared in his grasp.
With his feet Void Divine Treasury, he flashed and appeared behind Ancestor Xuanyuan.
"Taiyi Sword Instruction - Pure Subtlety Immortal Slaying"
The five-colored sword light merged with the power of the azure spirit banner, transforming into a Sword Qi refined to its extreme, slashing towards the back of Ancestor Xuanyuan.
Ancestor Xuanyuan sensed a strong gust of wind behind him and was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
He turned around with all his might, using his only remaining right arm to shield himself.
puff.
The sword light easily severed his right arm, and with its remaining force, struck him squarely in the chest.
"Well..."
Ancestor Xuanyuan lowered his head, looking at the bloody hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He has lived for nearly ten thousand years, experiencing countless trials and tribulations, and finally cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, only one step away from ascension.
He actually died here?
He died at the hands of a junior?
"Qingxu... Immortal Lord... will not let... you go..."
He managed to utter his last words with difficulty, and the light in his eyes completely vanished.
His body plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the rocks.
The last Tribulation Transcendence Ancestor of the Daozhen Sect has perished.
The entire room fell silent.
The onlookers were dumbfounded, their mouths agape, speechless.
Tribulation Transcendence Stage Ancestor!
That's someone who stands at the very top of the Dao Realm pyramid!
He just died like that?
He was brutally killed by Li Yunjing using Semi-Immortal Artifact?
"My God, am I seeing things? Ancestor Xuanyuan is dead?"
"His Tribulation Transcendence Stage is over just like that?"
"Semi-Immortal Artifact... Semi-Immortal Artifact is this terrifying?"
"The Luozhen Sect has risen! It has truly risen!"
Everyone understood that after this battle, the status of the Luozhen Sect would be completely different.
They possess Semi-Immortal Artifact, a sect leader who, despite being in the Middle Void Refinement Stage, can kill cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, have the support of the ten Ancestral Vein, and also have a fleet and Immortal Vein.
From this day forward, the Luozhen Sect will surely have a place in the Five Provinces of the Dao Realm.
They are even qualified to stand on equal footing with the Immortal Alliance.
On the Luozhen Sect erupted in thunderous cheers.
"The sect leader is mighty!"
"Our ancestor is dead! We've won!"
"Destroy the Daozhen Sect! Avenge the ancestors of the Luozhen Sect!"
The disciples were moved to tears, their bodies trembling with excitement.
Li Yunjing hovered in the air, put away the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner, and slowly landed.
He walked to the body of Ancestor Xuanyuan, glanced down at it, and felt no emotion whatsoever.
He who kills will always be killed.
The seeds sown by the Daozhen Sect are now bearing fruit.
"Pass down the order." Li Yunjing's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Break through the great formation and take full control of Xuandu Mountain. Those from the Daozhen Sect who resist will be killed without mercy. Those who lay down their weapons will be detained pending trial."
"Yes, sir!"
Mo Xuan immediately mobilized his forces.
Without the Ancestor Xuanyuan presiding over it, the Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation was already on the verge of collapse.
The fleet fired another volley, and the great formation shattered with a deafening roar.
The disciples of the Luozhen Sect flooded into Xuandu Mountain like a tidal wave.
Without their leader, the Daozhen Sect disciples either surrendered or put up a stubborn resistance only to be killed.
Without organized resistance, they were easily defeated.
The battle did not last long.
Half a day later, all nine peaks of Xuandu Mountain fell under the control of the Luozhen Sect.
The main peak of Xuandu Mountain, Hall of Pure Emptiness.
This main hall, which once belonged to the Daozhen Sect, now has a new owner.
Li Yunjing sat upright in the main seat, with the elders and deacons of the Luozhen Sect standing on either side below, their faces filled with undisguised joy.
"Senior brother, the battle results are in."
Mo Xuan, holding the booklet, stepped forward to report.
"In this battle, more than 1,200 Daozhen Sect cultivators were killed and more than 3,700 were captured. Among them, one Tribulation Transcendence Stage patriarch and seven Void Refinement Stage elders were all killed. No one from the Daozhen Sect's high-ranking ranks escaped."
"A total of 370 million Spirit Stone were seized, along with countless kinds of spirit medicine, ores, and Law Artifact, 8,000 acres of Spirit Field, 12 mineral veins, 7 markets, and the Daozhen Sect's Scripture Repository, which contains more than 47,000 volumes of Cultivation Method manuals."
"Furthermore, many rare and precious materials from the upper realm, bestowed by the Immortal Lord, were discovered in the treasure vault."
As the accounts were reported one by one, everyone in the hall began to breathe rapidly.
This is the culmination of thousands of years of the Daozhen Sect's resources!
All of them combined are of immeasurable value.
With these resources, the foundation of the Luozhen Sect can at least double.
"Well done." Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "All spoils should be registered and recorded, and put into the sect's treasury. Meritorious disciples will be rewarded according to their contributions."
"Yes, sir."
"As for the prisoners," Li Yunjing paused, "The ringleaders have been executed. Ordinary disciples need not be exterminated. Those willing to submit will be incorporated into the outer sect for a three-year probationary period. Those unwilling to submit will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from Xuandu Mountain."
"The sect leader is merciful," everyone said.
In fact, given Li Yunjing's current power, even if he were to exterminate the entire Daozhen Sect, no one would dare to say anything, but he did not do so.
The ringleader must be eliminated, while those who are coerced will not be questioned.
This is the demeanor a major sect should have.
"Furthermore," Li Yunjing continued, "Xuandu Mountain boasts a superior geographical location and high-grade Spirit Vein. Let's not neglect it. Establish Luozhen Sect here, with Second Elder Junior Sister Shui in charge, and select a group of disciples to reside there. The branch sect will then manage the affairs of Flying Immortal Prefecture in the future."
"Yes, sir." Yunxi stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the order.
"Senior Brother Mo, you will oversee the takeover and reorganization of Xuandu Mountain, and get the branch sect back on track as soon as possible."
"Yes."
The orders were relayed smoothly and systematically.
The destruction of the Daozhen Sect is not the end, but the beginning.
Only by digesting the legacy of the Daozhen Sect can the Luozhen Sect truly gain a foothold.
