Chapter 69 - 64: An Immortal Treasure That Can Kill True Immortals?_1
Two Almost Immortals!
At the scene, every Supreme and Saint Master widened their eyes in surprise.
That Luofu Holy Master possessed the cultivation level of an Almost Immortal was unexpected, but not wholly inconceivable.
After all, it was a Holy Land with deep roots and a long history.
But the Sect Master of Divine Sword Sect, an Almost Immortal too?
“Another Almost Immortal has appeared, too terrifying!”
“There had been no rumors before, they really hid their strengths deeply.”
“Two Almost Immortals… Only in the most glorious epochs in history would such a spectacle emerge…”
“With two Almost Immortals speaking in unison, who could possibly stop them? Not even the Holy Lands can do it!”
For a moment, everyone started talking, overwhelmed with emotion.
Strong figures like Cihang Saint Lord also looked extremely solemn.
Two Almost Immortals, looking down upon the assembly.
“I believe Brother Luofu and Brother Cao’s propositions are not wrong.”
At this moment, Cihang Saint Lord gave a slight smile and said, “Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, you should be just a bit more generous.”
Taking sides!
Previously, her Cihang Holy Abode had not expressed any stance until this very moment, when two Almost Immortals had revealed themselves assured of victory.
“Hehe, our Sacred Dragon Imperial Family also shares this view. The Xuantian Realm is one big family, we can’t just let you two factions eat meat, while letting others chew on husks, can we? The famous mountains, the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, the Spirit Stone Veins, and such, should all be taken out for redistribution!”
An Emperor from the Saint Dragon Dynasty also spoke out with a scoff.
“Indeed, it should be so!”
“The Southern Territory belongs to everyone!”
“Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land have taken up too much!”
At that moment, individuals from powers outside of the Southern Territory began to voice their opinions!
If before they had remained silent, now there was no longer any need to do so.
Dividing up the Southern Territory had become a foregone conclusion the moment the two Almost Immortals appeared!
Hence, speaking up now was necessary to ensure a share in the spoils to come.
Upon witnessing this scene, individuals such as Mu Qianning in the chief seats had very unsightly expressions.
Is this, then, the nature of humanity?
There’s no distinction between good or evil, there is only the law of the jungle.
“What’s wrong, struck dumb, are you? I’ve given you face, hoping you’d have some dignity, but you’re forcing me to take action. I’m afraid you risk the extinction of your sects!”
At that moment, Cao Yijian once again threatened, his sword intent even more powerful.
“Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling’er, the Divine Maiden,”
Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both stood up, facing Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, paying their respects, “We were compelled and had no choice but to face the enemy.”
Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both nodded.
Thereafter, Lingchao and his companion turned around.
“Do you really think that the Southern Territory is a place where you can act recklessly?”
Saint Lord Lingchao bellowed, his hair flying wildly, and in an instant, an overwhelming Spiritual Power surged out just like a towering wave!
Almost Immortal!
Another Almost Immortal!
In that moment, everyone at the scene was extremely shocked!
“Almost Immortal? You think only you are?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord too bellowed angrily, releasing his cultivation level that swept across the assembly, pushing back against the pressure of both Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian!
Yet another Almost Immortal!
In the span of a moment, four Almost Immortals had appeared in succession!
Suddenly, everyone in the great hall was shocked.
Silence, utter silence!
Everyone looked at the scene before them in disbelief.
Almost Immortals!
On ordinary days, such figures were unseen in the Xuantian Realm!
Yet now, four had appeared at once.
This was hard to believe!
“Heavens, the Southern Territory actually has two Almost Immortals… How terrifying is that?”
“Two Almost Immortals against two Almost Immortals, utterly fearless… Is this the foundation of the Southern Territory?”
” What kind of opportunity does the Southern Territory have? Such a wild and untamed land, yet it has nurtured two Almost Immortals…”
Everyone was murmuring in stunned voices.
Many forces that had previously spoken against the Southern Territory now suddenly regretted it!
How rash they had been!
Just now, it seemed that Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land were in an invincible position!
Who would have thought that in an instant, the Southern Territory would also produce two Almost Immortals?
Whose is the prey remains undecided!
“Heavens, these two are both Almost Immortals, yet they show such immense respect to those two young maidens. Who exactly are they?”
Cihang Saint Lord, however, focused her gaze on Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit at the center!
She thought of many things, her expression grave, and her heart instantly filled with regret.
If Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, the two great Holy Lands, each had an Almost Immortal,
And if there were even more fearsome existences standing behind them, then all other domains stood no chance at all!
She had bet on the wrong side!
Many astute individuals, at that moment, were thinking along the same lines as her, instead focusing their attention on Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning.
And at this moment, both Cao Yijian and Luofu Holy Master were extremely stunned!
The opposition also consisted of Almost Immortals!
They were taken aback.
At the same time, their hearts shrank with apprehension.
Could it be that there really were even more formidable beings standing behind the opposition?
At this moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in the heart of Luofu Holy Master!
But as he wavered, a chilling coldness suddenly invaded from behind him.
He immediately felt a shiver down his spine: behind him stood a True Immortal, and it was not his place to make decisions.
Now, having reached this point, there was no way to retreat.
“Heh heh, Almost Immortal two-on-two, I am very curious, can your two Holy Land’s Supremes fight against the Saint Masters of the four major domains in the Xuantian Realm?”
The Luofu Holy Master spoke!
At these words, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, when the top combat power is balanced, Supreme Level and Saint Master Level forces will determine the victory or defeat.
In terms of the number of Saint Masters and Supremes, the four major domains are completely victorious!
“Even if you are Almost Immortals, today you will lose! Combined, our foundation is far stronger than yours!”
Cao Yijian spoke fiercely!
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
“You all are going too far!”
At this time, Mu Qianning couldn’t hold back and spoke out!
Her face flushed red as she stood up and said, “The Southern Territory opened the door of convenience widely for you, sparing you from disaster, but you repay kindness with ingratitude, repaying virtue with resentment!”
“You’ve gone too far!”
But Cao Yijian just sneered, “So what if it’s too far? In the face of power, everything is nothing! You, a mere Mahayana Realm ant, dare to be arrogant in front of an Almost Immortal, are you seeking death?”
He was threatening Mu Qianning!
“Truly seeking death.”
Fire Spirit shook her head and stood up, her sleeve already secretly clutching the scroll given by Senior Li!
She had brought it this time to deal with emergencies.
Standing side by side with Mu Qianning, she had already harbored a murderous intent.
Yuanyang and Ling Chao were shocked as well; if Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were to take action, it was feared that the experts of the four major domains would all be annihilated!
Even True Immortals would die!
Yet, they said nothing; all of this, the experts of the four major domains had brought upon themselves, daring to threaten someone favored by Senior Li, they deserved to die.
At this moment, among the crowd.
The two middle-aged men wearing linens under their robes, both looked at Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and in that instant, shock flickered in their eyes!
“Do these two women possess unimaginable sacred artifacts?”
One of them whispered softly!
“I even felt a terrifying threat, if it is revealed, perhaps you and I will die on the spot…”
The other communicated directly through a soul transmission!
The two exchanged glances from afar and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
“We can’t act recklessly, we need to stabilize the situation first!”
The two True Immortals immediately reached a consensus.
“It seems that in the Southern Territory, there really is a powerful being in command, and it is very likely a strong being from the Immortal Domain!”
One of them said.
“Right… These two women are likely disciples under that being’s tutelage…”
“We can’t engage in direct combat, otherwise, we would expose ourselves, but we can’t just back down either, else we can’t probe the depths of our opponents…”
The two quickly communicated with each other.
“I suddenly thought, since that being has disciples, why not start with them? We dare not force that one to take action directly, but by pushing his disciples, we can also glimpse his origins!”
“Just so, just so, in this way, in that way!”
The two quickly reached a consensus.
In an instant, they transmitted their thoughts to Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master.
Upon hearing the True Immortals’ soul transmissions, both the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian’s expressions changed.
They were actually being asked to back down?
They had already torn off their pretenses, but now they weren’t allowed to continue to force a battle?
Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master were utterly baffled.
Yet at the same time, they did not dare disobey the commands of the two True Immortals.
“Heh heh, we are not the type to bully others,”
At this moment, the Luofu Holy Master suddenly spoke up, “We have both proven ourselves as Almost Immortals, and if a war breaks out, the Southern Territory will certainly be devastated. How about this—let’ s change the method, shall we?”
He looked at Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord.
Ling Chao and Yuanyang exchanged glances.
“What are you suggesting?” Ling Chao inquired.
“Quite simple, let the younger generation compete. Based on their victory or defeat, we can decide the allocation of resources for the Southern Territory, how does that sound?”
The Luofu Holy Master said.
Upon hearing this, everyone around was surprised.
The Luofu Holy Master was actually taking a step back?
Honestly, in the eyes of the crowd, the four major domains held the advantage right now.
Because they simply had too many people.
“What, you’re not daring to do it? If you agree, we will let you off today!”
Cao Yijian also spoke gravely.
This confused everyone even more.
The two Almost Immortals, while having the clear advantage, were actually both taking a step back?
“This might be the best way,”
At this moment, Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert suddenly spoke up, “Since the dispute is irreconcilable, such a decision for the outcome is good for all parties.”
Even Dugu Chen, who had been silent, said, “I agree.”
Seeing two Almost Immortals and the two strongest Saint Master Level figures speak up, the others could only follow suit.
A battle between the young ones!
“Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling’er, the Divine Maiden, what do you think?”
Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord, however, looked towards Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning.
Mu Qianning said, “Whatever the two Saint Lords decide will be fine. No matter what you do, we will support you.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two Saint Lords immediately showed relief.
“Very well, on behalf of the Southern Territory, we, the two Holy Lands, accept your challenge!”
“Three days hence, the younger generation of the Southern Territory will face the prodigies of the four major domains!”
Saint Lord Yuanyang and Saint Lord Lingchao declared!
They had agreed!
