Chapter 498: 498 The Forth-Tier Decline Celestial Being_1
“Evil Cultivator!”
As these divine senses flew off into the distance, the faces of many lords on the floating islands changed abruptly where the holy lands resided.
After Qin Changqing took action, they had already sent their divine senses over, and naturally, they could perceive these divine senses trying to break out with all their might.
At the same time, the giant hand of black flames also explained the problem. After these divine senses broke out, the people hiding in the flying boat disappeared quickly when the giant hand of black flames shattered.
However, at this time, a large number of lords on the floating islands where the holy lands reside swung into motion.
“Dong!”
The sound of a bell resonated from the Immortal Alliance.
“Seal off the Xianlin realm!”
“Dongfang Fu, you dare to collude with evil demons!”
“Wipe out these evil cultivators!”
The voices of many lords echoed throughout the Xianlin realm.
“Huh, they actually exist,” Qin Changqing wasn’t very certain, but to his surprise, Ancestor Dongfang had indeed brought Demon Cultivators in.
Not only Demon Cultivators, there was also an Evil Cultivator among them.
“How is this possible!”
At this moment, on the other side, Ancestor Dongfang, who had just regained his balance, saw that Qin Changqing’s attack had stirred up all the lord-tier existences like poking an ant’s nest.
He was dumbfounded for a moment.
“Xue’er, didn’t you say they were just ordinary evil cultivators!”
He turned his head abruptly and looked at Xue’er beside him.
The color drained from Xue’er’s face. Her plan was perfect, and she expected Qin Changqing could make trouble.
However, she didn’t expect that Qin Changqing was so powerful that Ancestor Dongfang couldn’t resist him at all.
More than that, Qin Changqing’s strike had forced out the people hiding on the flying boat.
Even this incredibly malicious woman felt a bit dumbfounded at this moment.
“Ancestor Dongfang actually colluded with Demon Cultivators and even brought them here. Has he gone mad?”
“It’s also possible that Ancestor Dongfang was unaware of this; it might be the woman’s doing.”
“Looking at the woman’s behavior, she’s not a righteous cultivator at all. I’ve suspected her for a long time, and now it seems this is indeed the case.”
This sudden turn of events took many cultivators by surprise.
It also prompted the cultivators to start discussing among themselves.
“Run quickly!”
At this moment, the demon cultivators had already fled in all directions.
Each of them chose different directions to escape, which was a smart tactic to divert their pursuers.
However, there were simply too many people chasing them.
Upon discovering these demon cultivators, almost all the lords and highly evolved beings in many holy lands took action.
Not all of these demon cultivators had reached the Tribulation Passing Stage; only one was a true Tribulation passer.
The rest were all integration-stage Demon Cultivators.
Even for those at the integration stage, they could travel vast distances in an instant when they wanted to escape.
At this moment, these integration-stage cultivators were desperately trying to escape without any regards to consuming their energy.
If they were in any other place, they might very well have escaped.
But if these few demon cultivators managed to escape, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for many holy lands?
The Xianlin realm is the location of the Immortal Alliance Headquarters and is the closest realm to the Spirit Realm. How could the Immortal Alliance not have laid out arrangements here?
“Boom Boom Boom!”
Many arrays were quickly activated, cutting the entire Xianlin realm into smaller sections.
Some of these arrays could directly block people, while others couldn’t block people but could block the expansion of the divine sense.
This would force those cultivators to fly to the edge of an array and break out before they could continue moving forward.
This could also slow down the escape speed of the cultivators above the integration stage.
All the Immortal Alliance cultivators above the integration stage were unaffected by this limitation.
This thus greatly limited the escape of the demon cultivators.
Not only that, but the passages around the Xianlin realm had also been closed. There were not many passages that could be used for entrance and exit here.
If a large number of demon cultivators invaded, the locks wouldn’t matter much in the face of the combined forces of many powerful beings.
But with only a few Demon Cultivators, only one of whom had reached the Tribulation Passing Stage, this lock was incredibly effective.
Seeing the powerful beings of many holy lands take action and chase after the Demon Cultivators, Qin Changqing, however, did not move.
His gaze was fixed on Ancestor Dongfang and that woman.
Ancestor Dongfang’s gaze was still on Xue’er.
By his side, the woman called Xue’er also looked panicked.
Not just Qin Changqing.
Many cultivators, as well as some lord-tier beings who had not participated in the pursuit of the demon cultivators, had arrived.
In this area, the lord’s divine sense was overwhelming, forming a faint encirclement.
Under these circumstances, the difficulty for Ancestor Dongfang to break through had greatly increased.
Indeed, those above the integration stage could get to where they wanted at the speed of thought. But when the divine sense of these lords forms a large net, your divine sense will not be able to expand.
At this time, if one wanted to escape, they could only concentrate their divine sense on a single direction, with limited room for reaction.
Or they could force their way through, but the probability of that was even smaller.
You can only fly, while they can teleport. How are you supposed to break through?
What’s more, there were too many lords present. Apart from the lord and integration stage cultivators chasing the demon cultivators, just the lords of many holy lands alone numbered more than ten.
“Dongfang Fu, what are you waiting for, take me away!” Xue’er cried out anxiously.
All the demon cultivators knew to escape, but Ancestor Dongfang, shockingly, had not moved.
Standing next to Xue’er, Dongfang Yue was also dumbfounded. He had not expected that the people his mother had brought were actually demon cultivators.
“Slap!”
Ancestor Dongfang slapped her.
“Dongfang Fu, you dare to hit me!” Xue’er couldn’t believe it.
“Fool, you have been deceived and don’t even know it!” Ancestor Dongfang said loudly.
“Smart move!” Qin Changqing couldn’t help but praise him.
Although Xue’er was evil, when she panicked and asked Ancestor Dongfang to take her away, didn’t she admit that she had brought the Demon Cultivators?
The words of Ancestor Dongfang now served as a strong excuse.
Being smart is one thing, but the people present were not fools; his excuse was hard to buy.
“How would I know they were demon cultivators? They gave me a lot of fairy stones in exchange for taking them in to see the Bingmeng Fairy’s ascension!”
Xue’er’s reaction was quick enough. Having been awakened by the slap, she began to yell.
“I’ll give them back their fairy stones right now, Dongfang Fu, go and capture them. That will make up for my mistake,” Xue’er hurriedly suggested.
However, this poor performance failed to move the lords around them.
“Dongfang Fu, you owe us an explanation for this,” an elder from Taixu Holy Land said.
This elder’s aura was not obvious, but among so many lords in attendance, being the first to speak clearly spoke volumes.
“The fourth-tier decline celestial being.” Qin Changqing thought.
This elder is likely a lord-tier being who has passed the fourth-tier decline celestial being stage.
Except for a few historically-long holy lands, the number of lords in other holy lands is likely to be only in single digit.
The resources of a holy land are constantly being consumed and renewed, so it’s impossible for a holy land’s resources to support too many integration perfection stage cultivators to pass the tribulation at the same time.
Lords who have passed the stage of the fourth-tier decline celestial beings are very few.
But they do exist.
This elder was likely one of them.
