The Divine Lightning Sect, in their quest to capture the people of the Dragon Emperor, even dispatched experts of the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, and on one occasion, several Earth Immortal experts came at once, which shows the terrifying foundation of the Divine Lightning Sect.
“The people of the Dragon Emperor are indeed here, you dare to provoke our Divine Lightning Sect, you truly do not know whether to live or die,” said an Elder of the Divine Lightning Sect coldly.
Several Divine Lightning Sect Elders coldly swept their gazes over Lu Changsheng and his disciples.
The Divine Lightning Sect did not underestimate Lu Changsheng, and directly sent out five Earth Immortal Elders, one of whom was even a Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal expert, determined to obliterate Lu Changsheng with the force of thunder, leaving him no chance to resist.
In fact, the calculations of the Divine Lightning Sect were not wrong.
The gap between their realms was too great.
“The Divine Lightning Sect! These people are actually from the Divine Lightning Sect!”
“How can this be…”
The Elders and numerous disciples of Mount Shu felt their scalps go numb.
Against the Divine Lightning Sect, which is a Super Immortal Sect spanning billions of miles, Mount Shu was like an ant.
With the Divine Lightning Sect’s aggression, Mount Shu was powerless.
“This matter has nothing to do with these disciples, let them go, I will fight you to the death,” Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng knew that in the event of a fight, there was still hope to escape Tianxuan Mountain with his two Direct Disciples amidst the chaos.
As for the Mount Shu disciples, in the eyes of the Divine Lightning Sect, they were too insignificant to bother with, so they would likely not even bother to kill these disciples.
“Do you have the strength to do that?” challenged an Elder of the Divine Lightning Sect, who took out an Immortal Sword exuding terrifying pressure.
This was a lower-tier Ultimate Treasure.
In the hands of this Divine Lightning Sect Elder, the lower-tier Ultimate Treasure could unleash its full power.
Despite Lu Changsheng possessing a mid-tier Ultimate Treasure, across six realms, he might not be able to kill his opponent.
“Sect Leader, we cannot match the Divine Lightning Sect. ‘With green hills left, there’s no worry about no firewood’…” Elder Luo advised Lu Changsheng, seeing that he intended to fight to the death with the Divine Lightning Sect Elder and knowing that Lu Changsheng had almost no chance of winning, wanting him to beg for mercy for now.
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were resolute; he had many treasures and Immortal Pills, and if he could find a way to break through the opponent’s Divine Skills, there was still a chance to escape.
He secretly transmitted his voice to Elder Luo, “In a moment, I’ll try to escape. They will certainly pursue me, and when they do, lead all the disciples away from here.”
“Understood,” Elder Luo replied with solemn respect.
Because of personal grievances, Lu Changsheng had offended the Divine Lightning Sect without implicating the innocent Mount Shu disciples.
The character of the Sect Leader was commendable.
Sadly, the Sect Leader had offended the Divine Lightning Sect, a Super Immortal Sect, and Elder Luo, despite his willingness, was powerless and could only protect himself.
With a gesture, Lu Changsheng commanded the Absolute Immortal Sword to soar into the sky, and its murderous aura pervaded heaven and earth, causing the wind and clouds to change color and the sun and the moon to lose their light.
“The initial chaos forms, the endless Taishi begins, the clear and the turbid flow together, Heaven and Earth of Mysterious Yellow interweave!”
Lu Changsheng, holding the sword in one hand, stood in the air, his Daoist Robe fluttering and the wild wind howling.
The primal energies of water, fire, wind, and thunder converged to form the primordial Heavenly Earth Mystical Qi, turning the surrounding space into chaos.
The space bound by the Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal expert started to loosen.
“A mid-tier Ultimate Treasure? Sacred Tier Swordsmanship? You managed to find the person of the Dragon Emperor, and indeed have some skills, but for offending our Divine Lightning Sect, there’s nothing left for you but a dead end,” declared the Elder of the Divine Lightning Sect.
“Glorious Divine Sword, a thousand swords concealed within!”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder put all his power into the Ultimate Treasure Immortal Sword, creating a sword Qi capable of destroying heaven and earth, which took the shape of a thousand-zhang Divine Sword, vaporizing numerous clouds.
This Sword Technique, once unleashed, made all swords submit!
The Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal expert, too, had an Ultimate Treasure and Sacred Tier Swordsmanship!
The Mysterious Yellow Sword Qi collided with the searing Sword Qi, and stray Sword Qi, like meteors, smashed into Tianxuan Mountain, creating craters and breaking countless trees and collapsing palaces.
Elder Luo and the Inner Sect Disciples of Mount Shu hurriedly circulated their True Qi, forming True Qi shields to guard against the terrifying Sword Qi flying in all directions.
The power of a Great Accomplishment Earth Immortal expert using an Ultimate Treasure was terrifying.
What surprised Elder Luo and the Mount Shu disciples even more was that their Sect Leader, with just the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, was forcefully contending with the Divine Lightning Sect Elder at the ninth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm.
“It’s no use, my realm is still too low,” Lu Changsheng admitted as he swallowed a twelfth-grade Supreme Dragon Origin Immortal Elixir, filling his Dantian Qi Sea with vast True Qi, which was then rapidly absorbed by the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Despite the Supreme Dragon Origin Immortal Elixir and the Absolute Immortal Sword, Lu Changsheng could not bridge the gap of six realms.
The opponent was still an Elder of the Immortal Sect, possessing an Ultimate Treasure and Sacred Tier swordsmanship; the gap in treasures he held compared to Lu Changsheng was not large.
Lu Changsheng clenched his teeth, as the Divine Lightning Sect Elder’s Sword Qi still managed to press down on him.
“How dare you bully my master! When I grow up, I’m going to eat you all!”
Ning Qianqian, who had followed Lu Changsheng in cultivation for nearly two hundred years and felt a master-disciple connection, saw Lu Changsheng being bullied by the opponents and, furious, bit her teeth and punched at one of the Divine Lightning Sect Elders who was watching.
“You, a little wretch from the Dragon Clan, dare to compete with me?”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder also struck out with a palm.
Ning Qianqian was only at the Unity Realm, while he was at the noble Earth Immortal Realm!
Bang!
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder had just clashed with Ning Qianqian when a wild power of Desolate Ancient surged forth, overwhelming in its force, and the Earth Immortal Realm Divine Lightning Sect Elder’s arm broke, unable to withstand the terrifying strength!
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder’s face turned an iron blue.
Ning Qianqian was clearly only at the Unity Realm, yet her strength was so terrifying.
Another Divine Lightning Sect Elder shouted, “Fool! Don’t try to compete in Martial Techniques with someone of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline. Once the Dragon Emperor grows up, even Daluo Golden Immortals might fall!”
“I understand now.”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder was scared. He stimulated True Qi to operate his whisk, and the whisk transformed into a cobweb, entangling Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian’s fingers were as sharp as a magical treasure, unexpectedly capable of tearing through the whisk’s white hairs.
“With the Dragon Emperor Bloodline being so remarkable at the Unity Realm, we cannot let her grow, otherwise our Divine Lightning Sect will have trouble in the future.”
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder could not allow Ning Qianqian to grow up; he had to capture her alive and take her to meet the Sect Master of the Divine Lightning Sect.
Just as Lu Changsheng and his disciple faced successive dangers, a more terrifying aura descended, and an incredibly vast True Qi separated the crowd, extinguishing the two flows of Sword Qi.
The whisk of one of the Divine Lightning Sect Elders was even shattered by the vast True Qi.
“This is…”
Several Divine Lightning Sect Elders turned pale in an instant.
The power of the strong figure who had suddenly appeared on Tianxuan Mountain surpassed everyone present!
Several Divine Lightning Sect Elders looked at the newcomer unanimously, only to see an extremely beautiful woman, dressed in a Xiaoyue Cloud Robe, elegant and graceful, stunning as if descended from heaven.
However, what shocked Lu Changsheng and several Divine Lightning Sect Elders even more than the woman’s enchanting beauty was her extremely terrifying level of cultivation.
Her realm had already surpassed that of the Earth Immortal Realm.
“Who are you? How dare you intervene in our personal grievances with him? Haven’t you heard of our Divine Lightning Sect? Although your cultivation surpasses that of us ordinary Elders, the Divine Lightning Sect is not an entity you can afford to offend.”
Several Divine Lightning Sect Elders, despite their uncertainty, were not afraid of this mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared.
The Divine Lightning Sect was a Super Immortal Sect with an extremely profound foundation.
Even if this mysterious woman possessed a cultivation that surpassed the Earth Immortal Realm, she would not be able to counter the colossal presence of the Divine Lightning Sect alone.
“This person is an acquaintance of mine. For my sake, the Divine Lightning Sect should not entangle with him further.”
The mysterious woman’s voice was pleasant and melodious.
But Lu Changsheng was stunned.
She claimed to know him, but he didn’t recognize her at all.
“Your realm is not low, but you’re not qualified to bargain with us. Who exactly are you?”
The several Divine Lightning Sect Elders were not frightened; their sect was their biggest confidence.
The mysterious woman spoke slowly, “I am Shangguan Zhao’er, the Supreme Elder of Jing Long Immortal Temple.”
“Jing Long Immortal Temple?!”
Several Divine Lightning Sect Elders, as well as a number of Mount Shu disciples, were all profoundly moved. Stay with m_vl_em_p_yr
Jing Long Immortal Temple was one of the most powerful sects in Cangyu!
The Great Qian Dynasty and Divine Lightning Sect could not swallow up Cangyu precisely because there were some entities within it that were troublesome to handle.
The Divine Lightning Sect Elder’s face grew even uglier.
Although Jing Long Immortal Temple’s strength was not quite on par with that of a sect like Divine Lightning Sect, it was nonetheless not weak.
Moreover, Cangyu was not the Divine Lightning Sect’s territory but rather within the sphere of influence of sects like Jing Long Immortal Temple and Yellow Springs Sect, so the Divine Lightning Sect would have to consider their attitudes if they wanted to intervene.
“Shangguan Zhao’er…”
What truly astonished Lu Changsheng was not the mysterious woman’s background, but her name—four or five thousand years ago, the name of the Temple Master of Hidden Dragon Temple was precisely Shangguan Zhao’er!
