The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 987: Sudden Attack and Casualties

"Hahaha, Old Ling Feng, it seems that your Great Zhou Immortal Sect has run into a tough opponent this time."

"Someone who can still act so decisively even after hearing the name of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect of the Emperor Realm must be that Su Jingzhen, the one rumored to have a connection with the Holy Maiden. 

However, I didn't clearly see how he did it. Through the barrier you set up, he instantly killed two mid-stage Spirit Immortal cultivators. 

Is he really just at the Body Venerable Realm? That's a bit outrageous."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to his contracted beast, which has reached the True Immortal Realm. 

By the way, that contracted beast is the legendary Chaos Celestial Serpent, which is said to be related to the Sword Master of the Northern Sword Region."

"So it's that Su Jingzhen. In that case, Old Ling Feng, your Great Zhou Immortal Sect might have to swallow its pride this time."

"..."

They were all great figures of the Emperor's Realm, although they belonged to different sects. 

Seeing the Great Zhou Immortal Sect suffer a setback here naturally filled them with schadenfreude.

If Su Jingzhen had heard their conversation, he would have been shocked. 

He never expected that a mere sixth-level Body Venerable Realm cultivator like himself would be so well-known and discussed by such major figures of the Emperor Realm.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing, Ling Feng, spoke with a dark expression on his face: "This Chaos Celestial Serpent is in the True Immortal Realm at best. 

It only succeeded because of a sneak attack. 

In a fair fight, even the younger generation of my Great Zhou Immortal Sect could easily handle it. 

If they want to, let them kill a few more. The Divine Dan Sect is nothing but a joke compared to my Great Zhou Immortal Sect."

"Hahaha, I love seeing you stubborn old man like this. 

Don't forget, not long ago, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Palace led the leaders of our various sects to Dan City, and they lost to the Divine Dan Sect in an ancient agreement. 

The Emperor's Realm is destined to be fully connected to the cultivation world, and our presence here is the best proof of that. 

The Divine Dan Sect is not what it used to be. 

With Dantai Mingjing secretly supporting them and the Holy Maiden's influence, it's hard to say who is stronger between them and your Great Zhou Immortal Sect."

"That's right. The Divine Dan Sect is not weak itself. 

There must still be Immortal Emperor-level old-timers within the sect, and with the Immortal Palace's favor, I think it would be wise for you, Old Ling Feng, to just send a message to your disciples and let them give up the Star River Ancient Tree. 

At best, it's just an Immortal King-level plant spirit. It's somewhat useful, but compared to the potential danger, giving up might be the smart choice."

"Yes, your Great Zhou Immortal Sect isn't lacking in resources anyway. Why bother clashing with them?"

"..."

The white-robed elders around him continued to pressure Ling Feng, although their tones were laced with teasing, almost as if they were reverse psychologizing him. 

The more they spoke like this, the less likely Ling Feng was to withdraw the disciples of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect.

"This time, the various powers of the cultivation world have tacitly allowed the younger generation to enter the Divine Shepherd Realm, and the same goes for the powers of the Emperor Realm. 

This is a tacit agreement for the younger generation to compete. 

We are not involved, but if the younger generation of my Great Zhou Immortal Sect later annihilates this group from the Divine Dan Sect, and the Holy Maiden seeks to hold us accountable, you must all testify for my Great Zhou Immortal Sect!"

His words made clear the stance of the Great Zhou Immortal Sect. 

The surrounding white-robed elders were stunned for a moment before quickly voicing their approval.

"Old Ling Feng, you can rest easy. This time, it's not just us who have noticed this. 

The old-timers from the various forces in the cultivation world are probably watching in silence as well. 

The casualties among the younger generation are natural, and I doubt that the Holy Maiden will follow up on this matter."

"Of course, if your Great Zhou Immortal Sect's people are wiped out, you won't have much to say either."

"..."

When dealing with external matters, the forces of the Emperor Realm might act more unitedly, as they did when they jointly destroyed the Divine Shepherd Sect with overwhelming force. 

However, there is also endless infighting among them.

Especially among the rival forces, they would like nothing more than to see each other fall.

On another peak in the Divine Shepherd Mountain Range, similar to the edge of the Elf Forest, many elder cultivators from the cultivation world's forces had gathered once again.

Elders from the Divine Dan Sect, such as Shi Nian, were also present. 

However, unlike the jovial atmosphere in the Elven Forest, their faces were now filled with worry and solemnity.

"Isn't that kid a bit reckless this time? He just killed them outright?"

"After all, the Great Zhou Immortal Sect is a major sect of the Emperor Realm. This could have been avoided. It seems like this kid will make countless enemies for our Divine Dan Sect in the future."

"..."

Cheng Xian, Song Kaishan, and others expressed their concerns like this.

After a moment of silence, Shi Nian smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'The success of a general is built on ten thousand bones.' Every superpower in the cultivation world has fought its way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If we always give in, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"

Shi Nian's words left Cheng Xian and the others stunned.

This didn't sound like the Shi Nian they knew.

In response to their confusion, Shi Nian curled his lips into a mysterious smile, but offered no explanation.

...

On the other side, Su Jingzhen and the others had already passed through the light green vortex.

In an instant, they were greeted by an overwhelming surge of vital energy.

For wood attribute cultivators, this place was an absolute sanctuary. Every pore seemed to open up and absorb the wood element energy on its own.

"Be careful!"

While everyone was still immersed in this comfortable state and hadn't yet taken in the surroundings, they suddenly felt several strong gusts of wind rushing toward them.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of energy explosions rang out.

Screams erupted from the crowd.

Su Jingzhen immediately activated the Immovable Tortoise Signet to protect Ning Yao and Shangguan Tiantong. 

At that moment, that was all he could do.

In the next instant, a dazzling white light flashed before them.

Bai Suzhen had made her move.

The Chaos Calamity Light shone for a brief moment before fading away.

When Su Jingzhen and the others regained their sight, the space in front of them, which was still filled with dense wood attribute spiritual energy, was now empty.

Clearly, those who had attacked them had been reduced to nothingness by Bai Suzhen's Chaos Calamity Light.

"Junior Brother Su..."

Lin Xiu's grave voice sounded.

Su Jingzhen, remembering the screams earlier, abruptly turned around and saw three people lying on the ground.

They were already lifeless.
