Chapter 39: Counterattack Nangong Liuchu, holding the immortal sword, is about to move...
Nangong Liuchu was about to take action with the magic sword in his hand when a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, and the killing formation dissipated in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, several thunderbolts struck the three of them, and then dark clouds gathered, and in an instant the world fell into darkness.
"The pressure of this thunder tribulation is even greater than when I entered the semi-saint realm!"
"How is this possible? Even if one refines the Divine Relics, it's impossible to instantly ascend from a Golden Immortal to a Saint!"
“No matter what, we must not let him successfully overcome the tribulation!” Taoist Yunjian’s eyes were cold, and he drew his sword to kill Li Youyang and the others.
However, every time he took a step closer, a lightning tribulation struck him. At first, it was just one or two, but later it became as dense as rain. Taoist Yunjian had no choice but to turn back: "I have never seen a lightning tribulation protect its master so much! What should I do now?"
True Lord Xingyao flashed and rushed towards Li Youyang and the others: "I just don't believe it!" However, he tried several times but failed, so he had to return in disappointment.
Sun Xuan's eyes darkened. "Now we can either wait and bet that this kid won't become a saint, and then kill him once the thunder tribulation is over to eliminate this threat forever, or we can flee and hide somewhere, never to show up again."
Zhang Xiang said coldly, "If becoming a Saint was so easy, we wouldn't have stopped at this semi-Saint level for thousands of years. I bet he can't become a Saint! Besides, we didn't cultivate to this level to hide."
Finally, the four of them reached an agreement and stayed to wait for Bei Liyuan to survive the thunder tribulation.
…
An hour later, the thunderbolt subsided, the dark clouds dissipated, Bei Liyuan successfully overcame the tribulation, and leaped into the realm of Daluo Jinxian.
"Master, Senior Brother Nangong, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."
Nangong Liuchu hummed in surprise. Junior Brother Li Yuan had just reached the Golden Immortal Realm, but he inexplicably felt that the four were no match for him.
Xingyao Zhenjun sneered: "As expected, you haven't achieved sainthood yet. Die, boy!"
Just as he was about to charge, he was pulled back by Taoist Yun Jian: "Three of you, the grudge between us stems from the Divine Relic. Now that the Divine Relic has been refined, we have no intention of engaging in further entanglement. Could you three please each take a step back on what happened today?"
Nangong Liuchu folded his arms and said, "Seeking peace? Fine, but I'll have to see your sincerity first."
Taoist Yunjian said gently, "Of course, we sincerely seek peace..."
Nangong Liuchu interrupted, "You can't just say whether you're sincere or not. How about this? The four of you kowtow to us three times as a token of your gratitude!"
Taoist Yunjian narrowed his eyes dangerously, and True Lord Xingyao flew into a rage: "You little bastard, I think you're courting death!"
Nangong Liuchu looked at Taoist Yunjian and said, "Look, is this what you call sincere peace talks?"
"You!" Xingyao Zhenjun roared, "What peace are you talking about? A brat who just ascended to the Daluo Jinxian is worthy of making peace with me?!"
After saying this, he rushed out with the sword in hand and killed Beiliyuan. Taoist Yunjian did not stop him this time. He also wanted to test the opponent's bottom line before making any plans.
Bei Liyuan's eyes were as cold as ice. He summoned his magic sword and slashed it out. Xingyao Zhenjun was immediately shocked back. Sun Chen dodged and caught him, but the next moment Xingyao Zhenjun turned into ashes in front of him.
"This is... the Great Wilderness Art!" Sun Chen said in surprise.
The Great Wilderness Art, the most powerful martial art of its time, was also the most complex and dangerous. The slightest misstep would lead to death. If mastered, its power was unmatched by any other martial art, capable of slaying enemies of higher levels. He had once been fortunate enough to witness it, and had been tempted, but ultimately hadn't dared to try it.
After a moment of stunned silence, Sun Chen took out his interspatial ring and said respectfully, "Lord Youyang, these are the treasures I have collected in recent years. I am willing to give them all away, and I hope you can spare our lives."
Upon seeing this, Taoist Yunjian and Zhang Xiang followed suit and took out their space rings and presented them respectfully.
Nangong Liuchu folded his arms and said leisurely, "You guys really know the current situation."
Taoist Yun Jian said humbly, "A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Besides, the law of the cultivation world is that the strong are respected. If you can't win, you either die or surrender. I don't want to die yet."
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang, and Li Youyang nodded slightly. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, thinking that their lives were saved.
Bei Liyuan took the space ring from them and handed it to Li Youyang.
Li Youyang didn't answer: "Afterwards, you and Nangong will look into it. Keep the useful ones and sell the useless ones if you can."
Bei Liyuan nodded and put it away.
Li Youyang added: "As for these three people."
The three of them became even more respectful and were ready to leave at the same time, but Li Youyang said coldly, "Kill him."
The three of them thought they had misheard and looked up in shock: "Lord Youyang...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, the sound died away.
Nangong Liuchu also thought that Li Youyang was going to let them go, and he felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't expect that his master would take the money and not do the job.
Li Youyang said solemnly: "Remember, never show mercy to your enemies, unless you want to cause yourself unnecessary trouble."
The two men bowed and said, "Disciple will remember this."
Li Youyang walked to Bei Liyuan's side again, held his wrist, and probed his spiritual energy. After confirming that there was no problem, he said coldly, "Return to Yunshan Sect."
…
Outside the Yunshan Sect, Chiyang Sect leader Xu Zhang brought thousands of disciples to attack and kill Beiliyuan.
Luo Yinzhu and the sect elders came out to greet them: "Sect Master Xu, if you want to talk, let's just talk. Why bother with such a big fight? Li Yuan is not in the sect right now. Why don't you go inside and discuss it in detail? There might be some misunderstanding."
Xu Zhang's eyes darkened as he released his mighty power. All the disciples who came out with Luo Yinzhu knelt down and vomited blood.
"There is no misunderstanding. Hand over Bei Liyuan, otherwise today will be the day when Yunshan Sect will be destroyed!"
Luo Yinzhu frowned.
Xu Zhang asked coldly: "Hand it over or not?"
Luo Yinzhu said in a deep voice: "I have already said that Li Yuan is not in the sect."
Xu Zhang sneered, "It seems that Sect Master Luo doesn't intend to hand the person over. If that's the case, then you can't blame me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned the magic sword and slashed at Luo Yinzhu. Luo Yinzhu took the sword to meet it, but was seriously injured in just one move.
Xu Zhang's face was filled with disdain: "What kind of sect can such a loser lead? The disciples under him are probably losers too. What's the point of keeping such a loser in the sect?"
Luo Yinzhu clenched his fists tightly.
Xu Zhang said loudly: "Disciples of Yunshan Sect, listen up! Anyone who remains in Yunshan Sect within three breaths will die."
Luo Yinzhu struggled to stand up: "Sect Master Xu, my Yunshan Sect has no grudges against you, why do you have to do this!"
Xu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Bei Liyuan killed my best friend, and you still dare to say that there is no grudge! Three, two..."
Many disciples fled, and those who remained shouted: "We are willing to live and die with the Yunshan Sect!"
Xu Zhang sneered: "This useless sect still has a few disciples with backbone. All disciples, listen to my order, and leave no one alive."
Thousands of disciples said yes in unison.
Looking at the cultivators charging towards him, Luo Yinzhu clenched his fists tightly. Is it true that my Yunshan Sect is going to perish today?
Luo Yinzhu closed his eyes in despair. At this moment, screams suddenly rang out in the void.
"If you want to kill my Yunshan Sect, Sect Master Xu should first ask about the sword in my hand!"
Chengyan Jun's eldest disciple, Han'ai Jun Lie Wushuang, flew down on his sword and looked at Xu Zhang with cold eyes.
Xu Zhang frowned slightly, wearing green clothes and holding a long sword, he was unparalleled in his cold aura.
Luo Yinzhu heaved a sigh of relief, struggling to stand up and looking at Han Aijun as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Fortunately..."
Han Aijun raised his hand to stop Luo Yinzhu from speaking.
Xu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Han'ai, you are merely employed by Mr. Chengyan. Why are you getting involved in this mess?"
Lie Wushuang said coldly: "Take money from others and eliminate disasters for them. With me here, Sect Master Xu cannot destroy Yunshan Sect today, unless Sect Master Xu wants all the disciples who come here to die here."
Xu Zhang clenched his fists. Han Aijun was a rare, unsympathetic cultivator among the current generation. He would do whatever he said, and he was already a semi-saint. If they really started fighting, the Yunshan Sect could be destroyed, but the cost would be extremely high. But if they retreated like this, where would the Chiyang Sect's reputation be?!
At this difficult moment, a disciple rushed through the crowd and said anxiously, "Master, something went wrong during Senior Brother Lan's retreat..."
Hearing this, Xu Zhang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly flew back to Chiyang Sect on his sword. Seeing this, the others also followed suit.
Luo Yinzhu bowed to Lie Wushuang and was about to speak when Lie Wushuang had already slipped into Chengyan Palace.
Luo Yinzhu coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
…
The moment Bei Liyuan and the others returned to the sect, they were called directly to the study by Luo Yinzhu. Luo Yinzhu glanced at the three of them with a gloomy face. He wanted to scold Bei Liyuan but didn't dare. He also couldn't afford to offend Nangong Liuchu. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Youyang: "You..."
Bei Liyuan interrupted coldly, "Master, we are very tired after just returning from the secret realm. If you need anything, please wait until we have rested before coming to Chengyan Palace."
After saying that, he looked at Li Youyang and said softly, "Master, let's go back."
Luo Yinzhu watched the three people leave for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he slammed the table in anger and said, "What kind of cowardly sect leader am I!"
When the three of them returned to Chengyan Palace, they happened to run into Lie Wushuang.
Li Youyang guessed that this person should be the disciple hired by Cheng Yanjun in the past, but he didn't know how to address him.
Nangong Liuchu hurriedly said, "Junior brother, this is our senior brother Lie Wushuang, also known as Lord Han'ai."
Li Youyang was slightly startled. Han'ai Jun was one of the few people in the entire cultivation world he admired for his actions. He was truly worthy of the title of chivalrous warrior. When he taught Nan Liujing, he had hoped to cultivate this kind of character in him. However, he had rarely traveled far before, and Han'ai Jun had traveled extensively, so he had never met him before.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh that money really can make the world go round. Such a person can actually be employed by Chengyan Jun.
Han'ai Jun looked towards Beiliyuan, who was at the level of Daluo Jinxian. He must be employed by Chengyan Jun to keep up appearances just like him.
Bei Liyuan bowed and said, "Big Brother, my name is Bei Liyuan. I am the latest one to join the sect. I hope you will give me guidance in the future."
Han Aijun hummed lightly.
Nangong Liuchu explained: "Big Brother is just like that. He's neither cold nor warm to everyone. You'll understand in the future, Junior Brother."
Bei Liyuan said softly, "Brother Nangong, I will go back to my room with Master to rest first."
Nangong Liuchu smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lie Wushuang looked at Bei Liyuan and Li Youyang with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Nangong Liuchu knew that Lie Wushuang had misunderstood. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Bei Liyuan actually returned to the bedroom with Li Youyang and closed the door. He couldn't help but hold his forehead. This time he really couldn't explain it clearly. Well, in the future, when they get along, the senior brother will naturally find out. He said softly, "Why did the senior brother come back suddenly?"
Lie Wushuang lowered his eyes.
Nangong Liuchu sighed silently, probably because of his family of vampires.
