NOVPUBWhen that immense Immortal Might cascaded down from midair, everyone present had their complexions dramatically change.
A gray-clothed elder was seen slowly approaching from the horizon.
Spiritual Energy surged around him, his presence astounding.
Even Huang Youlan had a grave expression, squinting her eyes at the newcomer.
Though the other was merely a One-Step Mysterious Immortal, once one began Stepping into Immortality, their lifespan would drastically increase, forever separating immortals from mortals.
This was not something the Divine Vein Realm could compare to.
"This time, I’ve requested Pavilion Elder Cang from the headquarters," Qin Chaotian said blandly from the side.
"Futile resistance is useless."
"The Heaven Edge Pavilion really is going all out," Huang Guyuan remarked with focused attention.
Although the Heaven Edge Pavilion was a sect of three emperors,
no matter what, those who had stepped into immortality were peak combatants, and they probably didn’t have many of them.
Now they had actually taken action for the sake of Yan Buhui alone, which spoke to his importance.
By Huang Youlan’s side, rivers of Spiritual Energy churned, with her True Fate emerging behind her.
It was a blossoming secluded orchid, extremely beautiful and proud.
At the moment when the secluded orchid flower bloomed, Huang Youlan pinched a petal in her palm.
Light blue Spiritual Energy diffused above the petal, which began to ripple upon ripple, and with overwhelming momentum, it flew out.
The direction it flew was precisely towards the Mysterious Immortal who was advancing across the void.
The gray-clothed elder stopped in his tracks, watching the petal approaching him, and gently waved his right hand.
The Immortal Qi of Wu Geng pervaded the air, shattering all the surrounding space.
With a "boom," an explosion sounded, and the secluded orchid petal was actually engulfed by a black hole blasted open by the Immortal Qi.
The elder took another step in the void and arrived in front of everyone.
"Greetings, Pavilion Elder Cang," Qin Chaotian hurriedly saluted and greeted.
Although he was a Martial Artist of the Divine Vein Realm and only one step away from Stepping into Immortality,
that single step was an insurmountable gulf that many people could not cross in their entire lives.
The status of an immortal was unshakable.
"It seems everyone is quite welcoming to me," Pavilion Elder Cang said with a light chuckle as he looked at the drifting orchid petals in the sky.
"Are you intent on exterminating a clan today?" Huang Youlan asked indifferently.
"Not exterminating, just killing some people who should be killed," Pavilion Elder Cang said as he turned his gaze toward Yan Buhui.
"Are you the descendant of the Eternal Ancestor?"
"Yes, Pavilion Elder," Yan Buhui quickly replied.
"Work hard in your Cultivation. Don’t disappoint the expectations of the ancestor," Pavilion Elder Cang said with a smile.
"Being chosen by the ancestor, surely you must have something extraordinary about you."
Yan Buhui nodded vigorously.
The atmosphere at this moment had become somewhat tense.
With a sweep of Pavilion Elder Cang’s hand, a vast expanse of Immortal light covered half the Firmament.
He spoke out loud, "According to Yan Buhui’s wishes.
Those who are unrelated should leave.
We will only kill those who need to be killed."
Hearing Pavilion Elder Cang’s words, Huang Youlan looked puzzledly at Huang Guyuan next to her.
After all, she had appeared here without the chance to ask, still unclear as to why the Heaven Edge Pavilion would make an enemy of the Huang Family.
It seemed to involve this young man named Yan Buhui.
Huang Guyuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately he gave a simple explanation of the situation.
He pleaded, "Ancestor, according to their words, at least half of the Huang Family has oppressed that Yan Buhui.
Wouldn’t that mean exterminating half of our clan?"
"Is this how you manage your family?" Huang Youlan furrowed her brows tightly, her body radiating tumultuous Spiritual Energy.
Some looked at Huang Guyuan with a furious gaze.
"How was your position as Family Head determined?
Under your hands, how could the Huang Family not decline."
Feeling somewhat ashamed, Huang Guyuan next to him lowered his head, not knowing how to rebut.
"Honored one," Huang Youlan turned her head to look at Pavilion Elder Cang and finally said.
"We can hand over the mastermind who oppressed Yan Buhui.
But those who merely followed and occasionally oppressed him, can they be spared?"
Pavilion Elder Cang’s gaze turned to Yan Buhui at his side, seemingly waiting for his answer.
"Originally, I wanted to annihilate their clans, but still, out of old affection, I will spare those innocent people," Yan Buhui said indifferently.
"However, I will not let off anyone who has ever oppressed me.
Maybe it’s alright if one or two people occasionally oppress me, but have you ever thought about how it feels when hundreds or even close to a thousand people do so?"
"Public opinion is something to be feared," Qin Chaotian said lightly on the side.
"What about you? Will you hand over those people? Or will you resist until the end?" Pavilion Elder Cang asked blandly.
"I know Heaven Edge Pavilion is extraordinary, but our Huang Family is not something to be trifled with," Huang Youlan said with a slight frown.
She lightly stated, "There’s no need to turn this into a life-and-death struggle; our Huang Family has already stepped back."
"It seems you still don’t understand who is in control of the current situation," Pavilion Elder Cang replied lightly.
With a grand swing of his hand, a beam of ultimate Immortal Qi attacked Huang Youlan.
Huang Youlan’s expression became serious as the True Fate Yulan flower behind her bloomed with a radiance extending for miles.
A pale blue glow enveloped half of the heavens.
Countless Yulan flowers fell from the sky and before Huang Youlan, they coalesced into a giant Yulan flower petal.
The Yulan petal slowly rotated, and the beam of ultimate Immortal Qi struck the petal.
With a "boom," a maelstrom of energy exploded, and it seemed as if the firmament itself would be overturned by this supreme gale.
When the gale dispersed and everyone looked up again.
They saw that half of the Yulan flower’s petals had been destroyed, and the remaining half was teetering on the brink of collapse.
But be that as it may, she had managed to block Pavilion Elder Cang’s strike.
"Among Martial Artists of the Divine Vein Realm, you are quite remarkable," Pavilion Elder Cang said lightly.
Huang Youlan took a deep breath as the Spiritual Energy around her boiled with even greater fervor.
Countless Yulan flowers bloomed around her, densely packed petals nearly filling the entire firmament.
Standing amidst the rain of flowers in her blue dress, her peak Divine Vein Realm aura slowly gathered strength.
...
Seeing this scene, Pavilion Elder Cang chuckled lightly.
In that moment, a hellish Immortal Might emanated from his surroundings.
Half of the firmament seemed to fall into ruin and collapse behind him.
Enshrouded by immortal mist, his True Fate slowly emerged behind him.
That was a peculiar and uncanny fire, pure white in color, its intense heat burning the entire space.
At that moment, Pavilion Elder Cang waved his right hand and that ball of white flame instantly turned into a sea of fire, enveloping half the firmament within it.
As the sea of fire spread across the sky, the Yulan flowers around Huang Youlan began to burn.
It seemed all were entombed within the sea of fire. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Popping and crackling sounds rang out.
The whole firmament was covered by the sea of fire, no matter how Huang Youlan used her Spiritual Energy.
The flames, as if conscious, simply could not be extinguished and burned even more vigorously instead.
As the flames burned in midair, all of these were the evolution of Huang Youlan’s True Fate.
It was akin to burning her True Fate itself, Huang Youlan let out a pitiful scream, her figure slowly falling from the sea of fire.
At that moment, she no longer had her previous poise, floating gracefully in her long dress.
