The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 1031: The Hidden Confrontation

"Halt!"

As soon as this voice rang out, everyone present felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

"How arrogant! The Nethergod Sect and the Great Zhou Immortal Sect had at least some disciples from their respective sects come out to stop us. 

But the Sword Land? They only sent a single sword. Do they really think that a single sword can scare Junior Brother Su into retreating? It's quite ridiculous."

"Exactly. Trying to stop someone with just a sword is indeed a bit naive. Even if it's from an Emperor Realm expert, so what? We've killed Emperor Realm experts before."

"..."

At this moment, the disciples of Divine Dan Sect had had their confidence boosted immensely by Su Jingzhen. 

Even when facing the Sword Land, they were filled with boundless confidence.

Of course, in the past, they wouldn't have had Su Jingzhen leading them, so they wouldn't even have made it this far. 

Therefore, this hypothetical scenario wouldn't have happened.

Su Jingzhen glanced at the sword in front of him and then at the tall tower of the Treasure Pavilion not far behind it. 

Once again, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The arrogance of the other party somewhat matched what he had imagined. However, to think that a single sword could stop him was impossible.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen wasn't entirely sure how he should deal with Sword Land. At least for now, he wasn't clear whether they were allies or enemies.

"I hope sister-in-law Zhang Xiu is really in the Sword Land. I hope that we can reach a favorable outcome with them."

After pondering for a moment, Su Jingzhen looked at the Treasure Pavilion ahead and spoke loudly, "The Divine Dan Sect has no intention of making an enemy of the Sword Land. I am not particularly interested in this Treasure Pavilion either. 

Could the leader of the current Sword Land expedition come out and meet me? I have important matters to discuss with them."

Su Jingzhen's sudden words surprised everyone behind him, including the Divine Dan Sect disciples and even Huo Huang. 

In their eyes, given Su Jingzhen's usual temperament, he would have simply taken the sword in front of him and forced his way through. 

After all, he certainly had the strength to do so.

"What's wrong with him? Could the Sword Land really be that powerful, or is the aura of the sword really that terrifying?"

"Given his personality, if a real person showed up, he wouldn't even flinch. A sword shouldn't be enough to stop him, right?"

"..."

Jian Ling, Xuan Su, Han Ganxue, and the others discussed this among themselves. 

Only Ning Yao, who was standing next to Xuan Su, had a complex expression mixed with anticipation. 

She knew what was going on and even felt a bit nervous at this moment.

Meanwhile, the various forces of the Emperor's Realm who had been watching from the sidelines sneered after their initial surprise.

"I thought the Divine Dan Sect was something special. It turns out that they're nothing more than that."

"Haha, they wiped out the Nethergod Sect and even dealt with the Great Zhou Immortal Sect. But when it comes to the Sword Land, they've finally shown their weakness."

"These cultivation world factions are only so strong. They're nothing compared to the forces of the Emperor Realm."

"..."

These people did not dare to step forward when facing Su Jingzhen and his group, but they did not hesitate to mock them now. 

Their voices were loud and clear, and Su Jingzhen and the others could hear them.

However, Su Jingzhen paid no attention to them. His gaze remained fixed on the tall tower in front of him. There was still no response from the other side.

Su Jingzhen sighed softly in his heart.

Then he extended his right hand, and a brilliant seven-colored light ignited in his palm. 

The Seven-Colored Purifying Flame materialized once again. Without hesitation, he placed it on the sword.

The next moment, the power of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame erupted.

Everyone was a bit confused by Su Jingzhen's actions. 

But in the next instant, they were shocked to see the sword erupt with an equally intense aura. 

Sharp sword energy shot out in all directions. 

The power it carried was so immense that even a mid-level spirit immortal would be instantly sliced to pieces upon contact.

Su Jingzhen's expression became slightly serious. 

He made a hand seal, and the power of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame increased by several degrees. 

The flames burned brighter and the sword energy grew stronger. 

It seemed like a tug-of-war had begun between the two powers.

Then, Su Jingzhen suddenly pulled out his black brick. The power of the World Force erupted within it, directly suppressing the sword energy on the blade.

The Seven-Colored Purifying Flame and the World Force were among the most advanced powers in the world. 

Although the sword was of a high grade, it was ultimately controlled by a younger generation member of Sword Land. How could it compare to Su Jingzhen's two powers?

As soon as the sword's energy was suppressed, the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame seemed to be about to erase all the marks on the sword. 

However, the next moment, the sword suddenly shook violently. 

It then shot up from the ground and sliced through the void, heading back toward the Treasure Pavilion.

"What... what just happened?"

"Did Junior Brother Su just defeat someone from Sword Land in that hidden confrontation?"

"..."

The Divine Dan Sect disciples looked at each other in confusion, not fully understanding what had just transpired.

Meanwhile, Huo Huang's expression became even more solemn.

"If I'm not mistaken, this sword belongs to the most powerful genius in Sword Land this time, 'Jian Xin'. 

That guy is almost at the Mystic Immortal Realm, and the sword energy just now seemed to carry the essence of Sword Land's joint attack technique. Yet, Su Jingzhen broke it all by himself?"

Huo Huang muttered to herself, but her eyes grew even more fervent. 

In her view, it wasn't Su Jingzhen who was strong, but the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame he had unleashed. 

This only strengthened her resolve to obtain the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame.

Sheng Jia'na once again provided Su Jingzhen with a triple boost of Emotional Connection, indicating that her emotions were far from calm.

After the sword flew away, there was still no response from the Treasure Pavilion. Su Jingzhen sighed again.

Even after this confrontation, he still didn't know the other party's stance. In the end, they would have to take the initiative and approach the Sword Land.

For him, the Divine Shepherd Sect's Treasure Pavilion, while important, was nothing compared to Zhang Xiu. If he could obtain concrete information about Zhang Xiu, he would gladly hand over the Treasure Pavilion to Sword Land.

Then he turned to the people behind him and said, "Let's go. Let's take a look."

At this moment, Su Jingzhen's expression was quite serious and his aura was restrained. 

Although the energy around them grew sharper as they approached the Treasure Pavilion, it still couldn't stop their advance.

Just a dozen breaths later, about ten zhang away from the Treasure Pavilion, a thick barrier appeared in front of Su Jingzhen and his group. It was covered in sharp sword energy.

Needless to say, this was the work of Sword Land.

Their earlier intimidation had failed, so now they resorted to a barrier. However, there was still no sign of anyone.

Su Jingzhen shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. He had no intention of wasting any more time.

The Seven-Colored Purifying Flame appeared in his right palm, while a void-like devouring force materialized in his left hand. Su Tuntun's devouring power was especially effective at breaking through formations and barriers.

Both powers landed on the barrier at the same time. The sword energy on the barrier erupted instantly, but before it could reach Su Jingzhen and his group, the barrier was already shattered.

The whole process only took a few breaths.

Everyone who saw this from behind was once again stunned.
