Chapter 549: Massacre at the Great Moon Mansion? _2
He glanced at Su Yu, Luo Qianyu, Ma Shiqing and others standing beside Taoist Qingquan, then hurriedly relayed a message to True Monarch Huan Chen and two others.
“Elder Huan Chen, Taoist Friend Jin Lin, Taoist Friend Qingxuan, this Da Yue Mansion is incredibly far from the central region of the Da Qian cultivator’s realm, and among those present, only that old woman Liu Xu is in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Everyone else is as insignificant as ants.”
“Even if we act against them, who could possibly stop us?”
“Furthermore, can we say for certain what her relationship with the Earth Immortal Mansion is? What if she’s just talking nonsense?”
“Also, each of these individuals possesses an unusual destiny. In a previous competition between the Taixu Immortal Alliance and the Da Yue Palace, a magical artifact had emerged from among them.”
“I wasn’t sure before, but now, I believe that if we can take over Da Yue Mansion, each one of us will definitely gain at least one magical artifact.”
“As for the aftermath—”
Taixu Alliance Hierarch continued, “The Earth Immortal Mansion is just a sect of the Da Qian cultivators’ realm and these people are merely small fries. Would the Earth Immortal Mansion really dare to invade the vast territories of the Fuling Sea to challenge us for their sake?”
“Does the Earth Immortal Mansion dare? Do they even have the ability within the Fuling sea area?”
“Therefore, Elder Huan Chen, Taoist Friend Jin Lin, Taoist Friend Qingxuan, we need not show any consideration for them.”
“A few magical artifacts, and possibly some other extraordinary inheritances—isn’t it all worth taking a risk for?”
The faces of True Monarch Huan Chen, True Monarch Jin Lin, and Sect Leader Qingxuan became a bit stern, but after hearing the Hierarch of Taixu’s words, they were unable to resist feeling swayed.
Indeed.
The Earth Immortal Mansion is just a sect of the Da Qian cultivators’ realm which can’t even extend its reach into the Fuling Sea.
If—
True Monarchs Huan Chen and Jin Lin exchanged glances. Huan Chen said, “Junior Brother, we should only target Da Yue Mansion and demand their magical artifacts. If we spare their lives, there should be no problem.”
“Even if the Earth Immortal Mansion has any grievances afterwards, they will have to find our sect first.”
“Once we reach the sea, it won’t matter if even the top ten sects of the Da Qian cultivator’s realm were to come. Does my Xuantian Sect need to pay heed to the Earth Immortal Mansion?”
“Moreover, if we, the two dignified elders of the Xuantian Sect, were to be frightened away by a small-time core formation cultivator from the Earth Immortal Mansion, we would bring utter disgrace to our sect if word got out.”
True Monarch Jin Lin, who had long been eager, agreed, “Elder Brother, let’s make our move. I’m in need of a defensive treasure to my liking. If I can snatch one here, coupled with some of my savings, I might be able to exchange for one when I return to the sect.”
True Monarch Huan Chen was overjoyed and said, “Good.”
As the two brothers concluded their discussion, Huan Chen relayed a message to the Taixu Alliance Hierarch and Sect Leader Qingxuan, saying, “They’ve already opened the defense shield of the mountain gate, giving us an opportunity. Next, my Junior Brother and I will take care of that woman in the early stage of Nascent Soul. You two will handle the others.”
“As for whether to spare their lives… that’s up to you. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with my Xuantian Sect.”
Taixu Alliance Hierarch furrowed his brows. Did this mean they could seize the magic treasures, but wouldn’t share in the blame?
After some thought, he decided it wasn’t a big deal.
Anyway, he was definitely going to continue his cultivation in the Fuling Sea area next, seeking a chance to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and wouldn’t stay in the Ziguang Mansion.
If something really happened, the Earth Immortal Mansion couldn’t find him anyway.
As for the Taixu Immortal Alliance—
As long as he was there, the Taixu Immortal Alliance would exist.
With his strength, even if the Taixu Immortal Alliance was destroyed, it wouldn’t be too hard for him to establish another one.
Therefore, after some consideration, the Taixu Alliance Hierarch decisively said, “Okay!”
As for Sect Leader Qingxuan, he figured that if he only seize the treasures without killing anyone, he should be able to handle the consequences. The Earth Immortal Mansion wouldn’t go all the way to the Fuling Sea just to cause trouble over a few juniors, would it?
Buzz!
The four of them reached a consensus. The next moment, True Monarch Huan Chen and True Monarch Jin Lin, with a single thought, brought out two magic artifacts in front of them. True Monarch Huan Chen’s artifact was a lower-grade artifact known as the Flood Dragon Scissors. As soon as it appeared, it exuded an endless malicious intent that caused half of the sky to be shrouded in blood-red in an instant.
True Monarch Jin Lin’s artifact was an icy blue bone halberd. It appeared to be a magical weapon forged using the spine of a giant beast as its core. As soon as the artifact was brought out, the atmosphere was filled with an icy, bone-piercing chill. It seemed as though the heavens and earth were on the verge of being frozen over.
However, just as True Monarch Huan Chen and True Monarch Jin Lin were planning to make the first move and take advantage of the situation when the defensive array of the Grand Moon Palace was withdrawn, something happened.
A figure in a pale yellow dress appeared in a flash next to Su Yu.
The speed was so fast, even the Nascent Soul Realm monarchs present did not detect her trailing movements.
When Huang Zhu landed beside Su Yu, her eyelashes twitched slightly, and she gazed indifferently at True Monarch Huan Chen and True Monarch Jin Lin, who had just summoned their artifacts.
At a single glance, True Monarch Huan Chen and Jin Lin, who had just revealed a sliver of cold murderous intent after summoning their artifacts, instantly froze.
The next moment.
True Monarch Huan Chen and Jin Lin’s pupils constricted sharply. From their previously cold faces slowly seeping malice, their complexions turned deathly pale in an instant. A trace of terror instinctively welled up from their eyes.
Just one look was enough to dissolve the nascent presence and murderous intent that had just emerged from True Monarch Huan Chen and Jin Lin.
Both of them trembled, their faces pale as they looked at Huang Zhu, who had just appeared, with fearful eyes.
Upon seeing Huang Zhu’s appearance, Su Yu, Taoist Qingquan, Luo Qianyu, Ma Shiqing, Yu Ke’er, and others all turned to Huang Zhu and bowed respectfully, saying, “Elder.”
Fairy Liu Xu, Fairy Gu Moon, Taoist Wine, and others from the Grand Moon Palace also retracted their aura, respectfully saluting Huang Zhu, “Elder.”
Huang Zhu nodded slightly, glanced at True Monarch Huan Chen and Jin Lin, and said, “From Xuantian Immortal Sect? What, have you come to the land Immortal Mansion and want to kill my mansion’s disciples?”
“Hasn’t that old fish from your Xuantian Immortal Sect told you that when you come to a land Immortal Mansion, you have to follow some rules? If not, people will die.”
True Monarch Huan Chen and Jin Lin’s faces became even paler, their eyes full of terror. They quickly retracted the artifacts in front of them, their bodies trembling as they implored, “Forgive us, elder. We did not mean to offend you. We just came ashore to recruit some junior disciples. Right, we did not mean to offend you, elder!”
“Enough, stop talking.” Huang Zhu glanced at the leader of Taixu League and the Sect Leader of Qingxuan, and said, “These two aren’t from the Xuantian Immortal Sect, right?”
True Monarch Huan Chen, his heart trembling, bowed his head and replied, “No, elder.”
Huang Zhu withdrew her gaze, said: “In that case, you two can step back. As for the rest…”
She looked at Fairy Liu Xu, then at Su Yu, Taoist Qingquan, and Luo Qianyu, thought for a moment, and said, “I won’t take action, just two insignificant guys at the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Fairy Liu Xu immediately responded respectfully, “Elder, as long as no forces from the seas intervene, we, the Grand Moon Palace, can handle the rest. Thank you for your help.”
Huang Zhu waved her hand dismissively, urging True Monarch Huan Chen and True Monarch Jin Lin of the Xuantian Immortal Sect to follow her. In a moment, three figures disappeared from sight.
As for the Leader of the Taixu League and Sect Leader of Qingxuan?
Huang Zhu didn’t take any action because after all, she’s not a nanny taking care of the Grand Moon Palace.
By stepping in to stop True Monarch Huan Chen and True Monarch Jin Lin from the Xuantian Immortal Sect, she merely did so to save face for Su Yu, Taoist Qingquan, and Luo Qianyu.
The rest was up to them to resolve.
In Huang Zhu’s view, if she had to handle everything, wouldn’t Su Yu, Taoist Qingquan, Luo Qianyu, and others have come in vain?
She wouldn’t raise a bunch of greenhouse flowers for the land Immortal Mansion.
Leaving behind two small cultivators of the second level of Nascent Soul Realm, alongside the trouble of the Taixu League and Qingxuan Sect was a perfect opportunity to temper Su Yu and others, preventing them from spoiling the young ones.
The Leader of the Taixu League and the Sect Leader of Qingxuan also turned deathly pale, their minds slightly blank and still suspended high in front of the Grand Moon Palace, failing to recover from their shock.
The moment Huang Zhu appeared, they immediately felt a sense of impending death, causing their bodies to appear rather stiff.
Their hearts were filled with fear and terror, their minds somewhat vacant.
“Hiss, that person, is definitely an existence beyond the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm…” The Leader of the Taixu League and Sect Leader of Qingxuan were consumed by an overwhelming sense of dread.
