With a flicker of his figure, Liu Chen covered a hundred miles in a single step and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Before ten breaths had passed, several figures flew in from afar.
Upon seeing the burning mountains, it quickly swooped down.
But soon, he was enveloped in blue light and flew back into the sky, avoiding the flames from a great distance.
"Be careful, there's something strange about this fire."
I thought they were just ordinary fire-based spells, and that my spiritual power would be enough to protect me.
However, the flames emitted an extremely high temperature.
Moreover, like a maggot clinging to a bone, once it attaches itself to a body, it becomes impossible to slander it.
What no one knew was that the Azure Ice Flame had been tempered by Liu Chen's demonic energy several times.
Its power has been greatly enhanced, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The leader looked down with a solemn expression and a serious demeanor.
They originally planned to go down and retrieve the bodies of those people.
But judging from the current situation, it seems there's no chance.
But the news spread quickly.
The reason is simple: it's not a big deal for a few people from the Ghost Spirit Sect to die.
But the white-robed cultivator was the eldest inner disciple of the Giant Sword Sect.
He is not only an inner disciple, but also the grandson of a certain Supreme Elder, and is a rare cultivation genius.
Since a cultivator has finally emerged from our family, there is still hope for us to become immortals and attain enlightenment.
But they were killed halfway through. Who could tolerate that?
Even if they were outmatched and killed while hunting down Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators, it didn't affect the Giant Sword Sect's ability to distort the truth.
The cultivators of the Giant Sword Sect were immediately enraged.
Instead of acting covertly against the Ghost Spirit Sect, they now openly and publicly instruct their disciples to kill any Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators they encounter.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Giant Sword Sect that made moves.
Several cultivation families dispatched their forces to search for the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples, determined to fight them to the death.
This confrontation appears to be a battle between cultivators from various factions who are hunting down disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Coincidentally, many of these cultivators were true disciples of major sects, or even members of the main lineage of their families.
The deaths and disappearances of dozens of cultivation prodigies had already fueled their discontent with the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Many forces have revealed their trump cards.
Some sects even sent out their Nascent Soul stage elders to hunt down the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators.
Fortunately, the Ghost Spirit Sect closed its gates and sealed off its mountain in time, and most of the cultivators escaped back to the Ghost Spirit Sect.
It is not an easy task for outsiders to find their whereabouts.
"Damn it, aren't they taking advantage of the Ghost Spirit Sect's lack of talent?"
"What kind of bullshit direct descendants are they? They just think my Ghost Spirit Sect is weak and want to join forces with others to suppress my sect's power."
In the past, when the Ghost Spirit Sect dominated the southern area, who dared to bully the Ghost Spirit Sect members?
Now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys have scattered; everyone is trying to come and take advantage of the situation.
In the past, he would never have had anyone.
But things are different now. The Ghost Spirit Sect has made enemies on many fronts, and if it is not careful, it may fall into an abyss of no return.
Moreover, under these circumstances, Master Guiling doesn't have much say anymore.
Normally, he is the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect and has the authority to make decisions on many matters.
But right now, conflicts are raging, and many powerful forces are making their moves.
With his cultivation level not even reaching the Integration Stage, he was not qualified to lead the meeting.
Many powerful monsters in the Fusion stage appeared one by one.
Only the Supreme Elder of the ghosts still chooses to remain hidden from the world.
People like them rarely take action anymore.
Unless it involves a life-or-death crisis for the sect, they rarely step in to resolve anything.
"The bad thing is, they killed too many cultivators this time. Even if we want to settle things peacefully, I'm afraid they won't give up easily."
Originally, if Daoist Cangyun had successfully returned to the Ghost Spirit Sect after fleeing, he could have done so.
Then that matter is considered over.
As a result, they were caught in a battle halfway through, and among the dozen or so people who died, many were prodigies from various sects.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest. All the major sects and families are outraged and are determined to fight the Ghost Spirit Sect to the death.
Master Guiling interrupted the conversation and shared his own judgment.
"Those people may not necessarily be direct descendants. It is estimated that the people who died in the Giant Sword Sect of Luoyun Sect were indeed true disciples. But the other so-called direct descendants are probably all made up."
These words prompted everyone to reflect deeply.
However, they are cultivators at the Integration stage and rarely venture into the mortal realm.
Naturally, they had no idea whether the disciples of the sect were genuine or not!
However, Master Guiling had been in charge of the Guiling Sect for many years and had dealt with other major sects, so he knew far more than they did.
"I've heard of the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect and the Falling Cloud Sect before, so I know their cultivation is not low."
The two who died were not disciples, but elders of the sect.
These things cannot be faked, so it's no wonder that the Falling Cloud Sect and the Giant Sword Sect were furious.
"But the other families said that the cultivators who died in battle were direct descendants and true disciples."
This matter remains to be investigated. It's likely they saw that the Giant Sword Sect and the Falling Cloud Sect were truly determined to fight us to the death, so they used the dead as a pretext to try and get a share of the spoils!
After all, if the Ghost Spirit Sect were to be besieged, it would be certain to be destroyed!
They will at least suffer a severe blow, and the chance to kick a man when he's down is slim.
Who wouldn't want to get involved and snatch up even more treasures?
But it wouldn't be good to act without a legitimate reason, so he found a proper one.
The old ancestor, with ghostly figures floating behind him, scoffed coldly, saying disdainfully, "According to them, they can kill my disciples and we can't even fight back?"
