NOVPUBAt this moment, Ji Shaoli stood still like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
A look of horror and astonishment froze on his face.
Seeing the yellow withered branches in the other’s hand, a mocking smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of the young man’s mouth.
"The Leyline Ancient Tree, and this mysterious Seven-Colored Radiance..."
"Merely a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, yet he possesses such treasures."
"Under the rule of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, when did we start having such an impressive organization?"
"Let me have a good look then."
Under the young man’s gaze, Ji Shaoli’s Divine Soul was slowly extracted from his body.
In this moment, his body aged rapidly by a thousandfold.
In just a brief moment, it turned into a skeleton, scattering across the ground.
The technique the young man was using was clearly an extremely malicious Soul Searching Technique!
Ji Shaoli’s Divine Soul, without any resistance, fell into the hands of the young man.
In an instant, as the Soul Searching Technique operated, a large amount of information surged into the young man’s Spirit Consciousness.
The young man’s body trembled slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
...
"Mystic Sky Sect?"
In that instant, the Soul Searching Technique seemed to have triggered some Forbidden Formation within the Divine Soul of the other party.
The young man had not yet had the chance to fully read all the information contained within the Divine Soul when it, like a withering flower, dimmed and vanished.
The young man was indifferent to this scene.
If what he had just seen during the Soul Searching was true, then it made sense for there to be such a Forbidden Formation within the Divine Soul.
"Who would have thought, after thousands of years, the Mystic Sky Sect’s influence is still undying?"
The young man couldn’t help but frown slightly.
From the results of the search just now, this Cultivator named Ji Shaoli had been taken under the wing of a mysterious Mystical Sky Sect King.
Silently cultivating power in Misthaven Ocean and everywhere the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals reigned, they plotted their resurgence.
"What era is it, and yet they still cling to hope? Utterly ridiculous."
The young man snorted coldly, yet he didn’t dare to be careless in his heart.
"Violet Firmament Sect Relics? Hidden in such a place..."
The young man’s eyes revealed a murderous look as his figure slowly vanished into thin air.
...
Meanwhile.
Li Fan, who wasn’t far from the Violet Firmament Sect Relics, sensed the disappearance of his incarnation.
His body paused slightly.
Vague images entered his Spirit Consciousness, prompting contemplation: "Heaven’s Commanding Hand?"
"So such an organization exists."
"But then again, it’s normal."
"Thinking that just by knowing about the Essence of Heaven and Earth, I could indiscreetly nurture Unity-Path Cultivators was rather naïve of me."
"The Immortal Alliance has existed for thousands of years; if it didn’t have at least that level of control, it probably would have been overthrown long ago."
Li Fan temporarily pushed these thoughts aside as he looked at the Violet Firmament Sect Relics not far away.
"Since the fish has taken the bait, now I’ll just wait and enjoy the drama."
His eyes narrowed slightly as his Divine Consciousness swept over the area.
Soon, based on the intelligence from his previous life, and that faint hint of vitality that would be overlooked by ordinary people.
Li Fan found the Mystical Sky Sect King, who was in a deep slumber, in a sealed secret room deep underground!
Indeed, his appearance was exactly the same as Li Chen from the Violet Firmament Sect whom Li Fan had once possessed!
He unleashed a Serenity Blade Energy that headed straight underground.
Carrying the might filled with a destructive aura, it seemed as if it would swallow up everything in the secret room.
Just as the Dark Light was about to touch the secret room, streaks of Golden Thread suddenly appeared in the void.
The secret room collapsed, but the protective barriers formed by the rings of Golden Threads always kept Li Chen protected at the center.
Li Fan, unfazed, unleashed several strikes of Destruction Sword Energy in quick succession.
The Golden Threads, bombarded by this immense force, began to cave inward.
They seemed on the verge of breaking at any moment.
At the critical juncture between life and death, the Mystical Sky Sect King finally opened his eyes slowly.
Li Fan smiled, his figure flickered, and he vanished into thin air.
Moments later, when Li Chen awoke, he first stood in a daze for some time.
Having been in deep slumber for too long, it took him a while to sort through the memories in his Spirit Consciousness.
However, before he could fully grasp his current situation,
Li Chen’s expression changed slightly.
For he suddenly noticed that the space around him seemed to have been sealed off by someone.
Remembering that he had just been under attack, Li Chen instantly realized that his hiding place had been discovered by someone for some reason.
But after all, as the law king of the Mystic Sky Sect, he was someone who had calmly escaped the pursuit of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans back in the day.
Though surprised, he was not in disarray and first took out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Ring.
He drank a sip of the Seven-Colored Fairies’ Nectar within.
The somewhat wilted aura from his long slumber solidified in an instant.
While Li Chen was regaining his strength,
a gateway opened in the sky, and a group of dozens of Black-clothed cultivators emerged in unison.
They looked solemn, with killing intent swirling around them as if tangible.
Leading them was the Young Cultivator who had recently been divining Ji Shaoli’s soul in the Misthaven Ocean.
His eyes narrowed slightly, sweeping over the ruins below.
"Three bell tolls, indeed it is the Mystical Sky Sect King!" he mused with some excitement.
With a wave of his large hand, the Black-clothed cultivators immediately took to the air, positioning themselves at various points and each holding a small mirror.
Once in position, endless greenish-blue light beamed from the multitude of small mirrors.
In an instant, the light scanned over the space here.
Under the glow of the greenish-blue light, the underground space became as transparent as crystal.
As a result, Li Chen, who was hiding within, was revealed before all the members of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Surrounded by everyone, Li Chen’s face did not show signs of panic.
He merely stared at the small mirrors in the hands of the Black-clothed cultivators, his eyes reflecting a touch of nostalgia and a trace of resentment.
The young Dharma Transmitter, upon seeing the look in Li Chen’s eyes, snorted coldly in his heart.
With a thought, the Black-clothed cultivators raised their mirrors high, under his command,
and directed countless beams of greenish-blue light towards the Mystical Sky Sect King below.
The greenish-blue light, like solid shackles, bound Li Chen.
Li Chen’s face showed a mocking expression, "Using the things of our Mystic Sky Sect to capture the Mystic Sky Sect’s Law King?"
"Have cultivators today become so foolish?"
A crisp bell sound seemed to ring in accompaniment to Li Chen’s words, resonating beside him.
In a moment, the greenish-blue light that bound his body showed strange distortions.
The bindings loosened as a result.
Sudden changes of expression emerged on both Li Chen and the Young Cultivator’s faces.
Li Chen’s face displayed surprise and solemnity,
while the Young Cultivator showed ecstatic joy.
"Fellow Daoist of the Mystical Sky Sect, please follow me," he said, taking a deep breath to restrain the thrill in his heart, and spoke out loud.
But Li Chen ignored him completely.
The clear bell sound rang out once again, and the greenish-blue light from the small mirrors began to shake violently.
Then, as if losing control, it erupted ferociously.
The greenish-blue light abruptly dominated the entire Violet Firmament Sect Relics.
Under the glare of the blinding light, for all to see, Li Chen’s figure disappeared without a trace in an instant!
The event unfolded so swiftly that even the young Dharma Transmitter was caught off guard.
