Chapter 1834
The Crisis of the Immortal City
'In that case, we can only hope that the few righteous forces in the Qingxia Realm we persuaded earlier can put more pressure on him while the immortal Hunyuan Elder is back in charge of the Hunyuan lineage, perhaps even intimidating him and forcing him to withdraw his troops from this area to garrison the Hunyuan lineage.'
The Black Serpent Ghost Dao Heavenly Lord secretly plotted.
Immediately afterwards, it used the communication array in its hand to convey its thoughts to the righteous Void Refining forces of the Qingxia Realm that had been colluding for a long time.
It even offered some additional benefits as a price to increase the likelihood that righteous cultivation forces would be willing to help.
……
the other side.
The Realm of Clear Clouds.
Tens of thousands of miles away from the Primordial Immortal City.
On the summit of a desolate mountain.
Four cultivators, each with a distinct appearance, were drinking tea and chatting in the early stages of the Void Refinement realm.
And they were the righteous cultivators of the Qingxia Realm who secretly colluded with the Black Serpent Ghost Dao Heavenly Lord.
Moreover, they originated from two relatively well-established early-stage Void Refinement forces, namely the "Red Feather Immortal Sect" and the "White Water Immortal Sect," which were located near the Hunyuan lineage.
The other two major forces have stronger foundations than the Hunyuan lineage, having been established for at least several million years. They have not only slowly cultivated sixth-order spiritual veins, but also have many high-order inheritances.
Moreover, many cultivators who had achieved the highest level of spiritual cultivation had emerged from this region throughout history.
Even in modern times, each of them has two Void Refinement cultivators overseeing them.
That is why they intend to seek development.
However, it is difficult to accomplish this by simply accumulating resources slowly. Therefore, they set their sights on the Hunyuan Immortal City, which attracts many visitors.
After all, Hunyuan Immortal City is a highly sought-after place.
Moreover, the Hunyuan lineage behind it is not particularly strong.
And this moment.
The four Void Refining cultivators from the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect were somewhat surprised when they received the message from the Black Serpent Void Refining Ghost Lord.
"That fellow Daoist Hunyuan is quite bold. I didn't expect him to dare to return to Hunyuan Immortal City alone from the endless void river."
They couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After all, when Hunyuan Tianjun went to the Endless Void River to attack that Ghost Realm, he mobilized nearly 70% of the Hunyuan lineage's troops, as well as a large number of people from various merchant alliances in the Immortal City.
As a result, the number of cultivators stationed in the Immortal City is extremely small.
It was not even 30% of the strength of the Hunyuan lineage when it was at its peak.
Such a garrison force is not strong, even if the Hunyuan Heavenly Lord is added.
It was precisely for this reason, coupled with the fact that the Black Serpent Ghost Lord was willing to give some extra good things to the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect, that they benefited.
Moreover, the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect and the White Water Immortal Sect had long coveted the Hunyuan lineage.
Therefore, the four Void Refinement cultivators from the two major sects were quite tempted by the Black Serpent Ghost Lord's offer to exert more pressure on the Hunyuan lineage.
"By the way, there are quite a few ways to put more pressure on the Hunyuan lineage."
What are your thoughts on this?
The leader of the Red Feather Immortal Sect, the Red Feather Sect Leader, said with a smile.
He was a thin, middle-aged cultivator with an ordinary appearance. He always had a smiling face, but in reality, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Furthermore, he is the strongest cultivator in the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect.
"Senior brother, you mean to directly attack Hunyuan Immortal City, right?"
The other Refining Void Crimson Autumn Lord of the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect, being the junior brother of the Crimson Feather Sect Master and having a good relationship with him, guessed the Sect Master's thoughts after hearing what he said.
"Directly attack Hunyuan Immortal City?"
“This matter is extremely dangerous and troublesome.” Upon hearing this, the two Void Refinement cultivators from the White Water Immortal Sect raised their eyebrows slightly and looked at the Crimson Feather Sect Master, hoping to get his reply.
“That’s right, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”
"Furthermore, since things have come to this point, let's stop hiding and just speak frankly. We both know what we're thinking, and we didn't come here just for those few small realms in the endless void that the Black Serpent Ghost Lord provided."
"The main purpose is... for the golden alms bowl in Hunyuan Immortal City."
"Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of time to continue with small-scale skirmishes, acting as a means to intercept and kill visitors from the Immortal City and attack the spiritual lands surrounding the Immortal City."
"Moreover, that fellow Daoist from the Hunyuan lineage has returned after all. Indirectly, why don't we just storm into the Immortal City and kill him?"
"And once he dies, we can not only easily obtain the Immortal City, but we will also have no worries in the future."
The leader of the Akabane Sect smiled.
“That makes sense. I’ll follow you, senior brother.”
Upon hearing this, Lord Chiqiu agreed with it.
After thinking it over for a while, the two Void Refinement cultivators from the White Water Immortal Sect also agreed to the matter.
However, they did have one condition.
"By the way, since we are on different sides, there are some things that need to be clarified."
"Furthermore, our strengths are roughly equal. Under such circumstances, if this matter is accomplished, the interests of the Hunyuan lineage must be split 50/50."
"Otherwise, my White Water Immortal Sect will not do this."
Immediately afterwards, the two Void Refinement cultivators from the White Water Immortal Sect spoke.
"A 50/50 split? That's fair enough."
The sect leader of the Akabane sect had no objection to this.
The same applies to Lord Chiqiu.
Subsequently, they made a Heavenly Oath with the two Void Refining cultivators from the White Water Immortal Sect and signed a Primordial Soul Contract.
After everything was settled, they began to gather together the disciples who had been disguised as evil cultivators causing trouble recently, and together they marched towards Hunyuan Immortal City.
……
at the same time.
Deep within the Primordial Immortal City, beneath the sixth-rank low-grade Primordial Mountain.
As the Immortal Realm Formation set up by Hunyuan Tianjun here flashed with spiritual light, it immediately erupted with a terrifying spatial fluctuation.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun and Hunyuan Tianjun tore through the void and appeared here.
They also witnessed the desolate state of business in the immortal city.
Even in the once bustling immortal city, apart from a few large shops, it was difficult to see any cultivators in the other shops and streets.
Moreover, almost no one from the outside world comes to the Immortal City.
'The current state of this immortal city... is indeed somewhat dilapidated.'
Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but make a silent assessment.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord frowned deeply, deeply troubled by this.
At that very moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Hunyuan lineage who was left behind in the Immortal City hurriedly came up to him and recounted in detail how the Hunyuan lineage's spies around the Immortal City had discovered that four Void Refinement cultivators were leading a large group of cultivators rapidly heading towards the Immortal City from the southeast.
I fear... they may be plotting something against the Immortal City.
"Those villains are really bold. I didn't expect them to have such a plan to attack my Hunyuan Immortal City so quickly."
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, I hope you can lend me your full assistance in the future."
Upon learning of this, Hunyuan Tianjun immediately pleaded with Ling Pengyun beside him. (End of Chapter)
