Chapter 2579: What Are They Trying to Do?
A moment later, the Haoyue Immortal King put away the auspicious clouds and landed on the square in front of the Sect Master Hall of the Wuying Sect.At this time, the Haoyue Immortal King appeared battered and bruised, his clothes dyed in blood, covered in wounds, looking exceptionally disheveled.
To the disciples of the Wuying Sect, his appearance suggested he had experienced a fierce battle and returned hastily, without time to recuperate.
"Sect Master... something... something big has happened..."
After landing, the Haoyue Immortal King stumbled to the front of the Shadowless Immortal Emperor, his face full of panic and grief, choking with emotions, almost unable to speak.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The soul lamps of twenty-nine disciples who went to Sword Gorge for training, along with Elders Wuheng and Wuji, have been extinguished... What exactly happened? First, take this Immortal Pill to recuperate, then speak slowly..."
As he said this, the fragrance of the pill spread everywhere, and a Healing Immortal Pill appeared in front of him, floating and moving toward the Haoyue Immortal King.
This Healing Immortal Pill, mid-level Immortal Emperor grade, emanated a green glow with abundant vitality.
The higher the grade of the Healing Pill, the quicker the recovery for immortals after consumption.
For immortals of the Immortal King Cultivation Realm, obtaining even a low-level Immortal Emperor grade Immortal Pill was difficult, let alone a mid-level one.
Therefore, when the sect master took out a mid-level Immortal Emperor grade Immortal Pill and handed it to Fang Bai, the disciples of the Wuying Sect were somewhat surprised.
But immediately, they understood; the sect master was anxious to know the reason behind the fall of Elders Wuheng and Wuji, and the twenty-nine young sect disciples, so he gave a high-grade Healing Pill to the Haoyue Immortal King to ensure his swift recovery.
The Haoyue Immortal King seemed both shocked and honored, took the Immortal Pill, swallowed it with a reverse hand, and sat cross-legged on the spot to recuperate.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor frowned slightly, his gaze sharp, attentively observing the Haoyue Immortal King as he recuperated with closed eyes.
For some unknown reason, he felt there was something different about the Haoyue Immortal King, but after observing for a while, he couldn’t see anything unusual, thinking perhaps his emotions were fluctuating too intensely, causing him to overthink.
Thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect surrounding them focused their gaze on the Haoyue Immortal King, held their breath, waiting quietly for him to finish recuperating.
The Haoyue Immortal King’s injuries seemed severe but were mostly superficial wounds, not truly grave injuries.
Moreover, the mid-level Immortal Emperor grade Immortal Pill he had just swallowed was extremely effective, and after consumption, his wounds started healing visibly within tens of breaths.
Hundreds of breaths later, the injuries on the Haoyue Immortal King were eighty percent recovered; he exhaled softly and slowly opened his eyes.
"During this training journey to Sword Gorge, tell us everything that happened, without omitting anything."
Seeing the Haoyue Immortal King stand up, the Shadowless Immortal Emperor then asked.
The Haoyue Immortal King nodded cautiously, pretended to reminisce, then began to narrate.
Thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect knew what the Haoyue Immortal King was about to say would significantly impact the future of the Wuying Sect, thus they listened attentively.
"...While we were training in Sword Gorge, we were suddenly attacked by disciples from the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain working together. Despite fighting fiercely, we ended up being overwhelmed due to lack of numbers and suffered devastating losses... During the attack, I was picking an Immortal Elixir and had temporarily separated from fellow disciples, narrowly escaping this disaster..."
"...At the end of Sword Gorge, I discovered that the four elders of the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain were in fierce battle with Elders Wuheng and Wuji... Our two elders, being two against four, were at a disadvantage..."
"Knowing they were outmatched, once seeing my presence, they exerted their utmost effort to hold off the four elders of the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain, urging me to flee quickly... They requested that I tell the sect master to avenge their deaths in the future..."
By the end of his narration, the Haoyue Immortal King was shouting hoarsely, his features distorted by grief and anger.
The words of the Haoyue Immortal King stirred the thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect, who erupted in fury, their curses shaking the skies, all eager to immediately charge to the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain to seek justice for their fallen companions.
"Blood Fiend Sect... Yama Mountain... what are they thinking?"
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor murmured to himself, exchanging glances with the senior members of the Wuying Sect, expressions of confusion and disbelief upon their faces.
Though the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain have long coveted the leading position among the ten major Immortal Sects and had poor relations with the Wuying Sect, their overall strength was far inferior to the Wuying Sect, so how dared they provoke the Wuying Sect in such an aggressive manner?
Even if the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain joined forces and could annihilate all the disciples of the Wuying Sect, other disciples from several major Immortal Sects were also present at the time, how could they possibly keep all news from leaking?
Didn’t they fear that once the truth was revealed, they’d face the strongest backlash from Wuying Sect, bringing about their own sect’s destruction?
Indeed, upon hearing the Haoyue Immortal King say that it was the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain who were responsible, the Shadowless Immortal Emperor had some doubts in his heart.
But then he thought, as a disciple of the Wuying Sect, the Haoyue Immortal King definitely lacked the courage to tell such a colossal lie before thousands of Wuying Sect disciples.
Moreover, the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain indeed had the motive to target the Wuying Sect, only previously lacking strength and not daring to take action.
Taking the risk of initiating a full-scale war to slaughter two elders and dozens of the finest disciples of the Wuying Sect, could it be the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain already had strategies to counter Wuying Sect’s fierce retaliation?
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor furrowed his brows tightly, contemplating the next course of action.
"Currently, disciples from various immortal sects should have already left Sword Gorge and returned to their respective sects... Sect Master, what are we waiting for? We should immediately storm to Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain, and demand justice!"
The only elder remaining in the Wuying Sect at the moment spoke angrily, filled with fiery wrath in his eyes.
"Yes, Sect Master, revenge must be sought!"
Other stewards of the Wuying Sect, their eyes full of blood lust and hatred, responded unanimously.
"Revenge!"
Thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect raised their arms in furious roars, their voices thunderous.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor understood that, at this moment, he had to comply with the will of thousands of disciples, lead them to attack the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain, to vent their pent-up anger fiercely.
Otherwise, not only would the prestige of the sect greatly diminish, but in the future, the morale of the disciples would be low, leading to decline and eventual ruin.
As for why the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain targeted the disciples of the Wuying Sect, he would question them further once reaching the gates of their mountain.
Though the Wuying Sect lost two elders and twenty-nine young disciples, their number of Immortal Emperor Realm Experts still far exceeded that of the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain; by splitting them up, overall strength could still form an advantage.
The only concern of the Shadowless Immortal Emperor was if the two sects combined forces, it would turn into a tough battle.
