Wang Yu
Chapter 1022: Alone into the Immortal Palace
“It's said that Han Li cultivates the Time Law, one of the three supreme laws, and his attainment is quite profound. We can't underestimate him. With just the Lan siblings, I'm not at ease. You must go this time without letting anyone know. Don't reveal your identity when you get there; act from the shadows, and make sure your strike is decisive,” said Immortal Venerable Miao Fa, shaking his head.
She Chan heard this, his expression unchanged, but a hint of dissatisfaction flashed deep within his six eyes.
Just a small Taiyi realm cultivator, yet the master not only made him, a Grand Luo, make a special trip but also wanted him to ambush from the dark. It was a great underestimation of himself.
“This matter is of great importance, and no mistakes can be tolerated. Otherwise, I will hold you accountable!” Immortal Venerable Miao Fa's gaze turned cold.
“Yes. I will go and send the message now.” She Chan stood up, a yellow light flickering on his surface. His massive body quickly shrunk, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a fat, yellow-faced ugly woman.
Immediately, the ugly woman's body swayed, and she turned into a yellow shadow, merging into the ground and disappearing.
Immortal Venerable Miao Fa gazed at the empty space before him, and then his figure moved, disappearing into thin air.
……
Inside the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, Dongfang Bai walked out of the communication hall, the anxious look on his face completely gone.
As long as the people from the Golden Halberd Immortal Palace arrived, there would be no problem capturing Han Li. At that time, he would make Han Li pay back all the humiliation he had suffered before.
Dongfang Bai devised dozens of vicious methods to torture Han Li in his mind, feeling extremely satisfied.
“Someone!”
Dongfang Bai pondered slightly and spoke loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot over from afar, instantly landing in front of Dongfang Bai and transforming into a cold and stern youth with sharp eyes.
“Palace Lord, what are your orders?”
“Hei Dao and Lü Yun failed in their mission with me and have already fallen. Cold Crow, from today onwards, you will be the commander of 'Dark Sword.' Send out all the spies in 'Dark Sword' and contact the hidden spies in various places. You must find out the whereabouts of Han Li,” Dongfang Bai instructed.
“Yes!” The cold and stern youth heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in his originally calm eyes as he bowed and agreed.
Just at this moment, a muffled sound came from afar, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook. The nearby halls also trembled slightly, making rumbling noises.
“What's going on?” Dongfang Bai frowned slightly, looking outside.
“This subordinate will go and see,” the cold and stern youth said immediately, about to fly outside.
Just at this moment, a ray of light shot over from afar, instantly landing and revealing a golden-robed guard covered in blood.
“Reporting to the Palace Lord, something bad has happened! Someone has broken into the palace, and we can't hold them off,” the man said with a look of horror on his face.
“Who is it? How dare they run wild in the Golden Origin Immortal Palace!” A trace of anger flashed in Dongfang Bai's eyes. He was about to fly out, but his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped again.
He released his divine sense, spreading it towards the entrance of the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, and his face immediately changed.
……
The once magnificent entrance of the Immortal Palace was now a scene of devastation, with more than a dozen halls collapsed and turned into ruins.
In mid-air, over a hundred Immortal Palace cultivators, led by five distinguished black-robed old men, formed a crescent-shaped battle formation.
The five men were almost identical in height and appearance, seemingly quintuplets, and all exuded a chilling aura.
The Immortal Palace cultivators present were mostly at the Late True Immortal Realm to Golden Immortal level, and the five black-robed old men were at the Taiyi Realm.
Various immortal artifacts and secret techniques flew out from the battle formation like raindrops, blasting towards the opposite side.
But there was only one person on the opposite side.
That person was a young man in a green robe, surrounded by forty to fifty golden flying swords, swirling and dancing like swimming fish, weaving into a dense golden sword shadow that easily shattered all the attacks coming from the opposite side.
At the same time, the green-robed man flicked his fingers, and a dozen more golden flying swords shot out from his sleeves. After a flash, a dozen hundred-zhang-long golden sword energies appeared, like towering divine swords, cutting down with astonishing momentum.
Before the sword energies landed, they made thunderous rumbling sounds, and even the vast sky seemed to be cut open wherever they passed, revealing a long white sword mark.
The five Taiyi Realm old men's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately changed their positions, standing in a cross shape, each opening their mouths and spitting out a black flag embroidered with a ferocious black dragon pattern.
The five men simultaneously made hand seals, and the black flags unfolded with a flutter, becoming several times larger and rustling in the wind.
Large patches of viscous, liquid-like black gas poured out from the black flags, forming a huge black cloud that swept towards the sword energies. Wherever it passed, the void seemed to be corroded, making crackling sounds and trembling continuously.
The Golden Immortal cultivators on the side saw this scene and retreated backward as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
“Demonic Qi!” The green-robed man raised an eyebrow and moved his ten fingers.
The surfaces of the golden sword energies crackled, and thick golden electric arcs appeared, emitting a majestic righteous lightning law, striking the black cloud.
The dense black cloud rolled violently, immediately making earth-shattering sizzling noises. As if encountering a natural enemy, it turned into countless plumes of black smoke and dissipated.
The golden sword energies instantly tore apart the black cloud and slashed towards the five Taiyi Realm old men behind it.
The five men's expressions changed drastically, and black gas flashed on their bodies. Their tall figures suddenly shrunk rapidly amidst explosive sounds, instantly turning into three-foot-tall dwarves, dodging and evading to the side with greatly increased speed, barely avoiding the golden sword energies.
The golden sword energies did not pursue the five men and immediately fell into the midst of the True Immortals and Golden Immortals behind them.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Miserable screams rang out. The sword energies stirred up waves of blood in the crowd, and broken limbs flew everywhere. None of the True Immortal Realm cultivators were spared, and a full third of the Golden Immortal cultivators also fell and died. The remaining Golden Immortal cultivators were terrified and fled in all directions, and the crescent battle formation instantly disintegrated.
Han Li's cultivation had greatly improved, and the power of the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had also increased accordingly.
The five Taiyi old men's bodies made cracking sounds at this moment, returning to their original forms. Seeing this scene, they revealed expressions of rage on their faces.
The Golden Immortal cultivators around them were all the foundation of the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, and now a full 30% of them had been wiped out at once.
“Who exactly are you? How dare you slaughter the people of my Golden Origin Immortal Palace like this! Wait for the endless wanted notices and pursuits from the Heavenly Court!” One of the five old men roared.
The green-robed man was expressionless, seemingly not hearing the man's voice. He raised his hand again and flicked.
The dozen or so sword energies trembled and shot out again, turning into a dozen phantoms and chasing after the other Golden Immortal cultivators. In the blink of an eye, several more Golden Immortal cultivators were pierced and died a miserable death.
The five Taiyi Realm old men's faces were ashen. They looked towards the depths of the Immortal Palace, seemingly waiting for something, but nothing happened.
“Ah,” “Ah,” two screams rang out, and two more people were pierced and died.
The five men's expressions became even gloomier. Just as they were about to rush forward regardless of the consequences, a dozen dazzling green lights descended from the sky, turning into a dozen green snakes.
These green snakes were extremely fast and incredibly agile, and their huge bodies each coiled around a golden sword energy.
Strands of ribbon-like green gas flew out from the snakes' bodies, wrapping around the sharp and unyielding golden sword energies.
The golden sword energies trembled, and electric arcs surged. The green ribbons immediately shattered, but more green gas flew out from the giant pythons, continuing to wrap around.
Break one, and three will grow; break ten, and a hundred will grow!
In a few breaths, the incomparably sharp golden sword energies dimmed quite a bit, and their size also shrank a lot.
Countless green ribbons densely wrapped around the sword energies, vaguely forming a giant cocoon, enveloping them inside.
The green-robed man's eyes flickered slightly, and he made a hand seal and waved.
The golden sword energies suddenly shrunk, turning into foot-long golden small swords, slashing through the air.
With a "chī la" sound, the green cocoon was immediately cut open, and the golden small swords shot out, swirling and dancing around the green-robed man.
A figure descended from the sky, it was Dongfang Bai.
The dozen green pythons shot back, quickly shrinking and connecting end to end, turning into a dozen azure rings, floating around him.
Seeing Dongfang Bai's figure, the Immortal Palace crowd's spirits were greatly lifted.
“The Palace Lord has arrived!”
“Boy, our Palace Lord has arrived, your death is here!”
“Palace Lord, this man is bold and reckless, slaughtering many of us. Today, we must not let him leave this place alive!”
The Immortal Palace crowd flew behind Dongfang Bai one after another, gnashing their teeth and speaking indignantly.
Dongfang Bai ignored the people around him, looking at the green-robed man, grinned, and slowly said: “Han Li, I admit that your strength is strong, but you actually dared to kill your way into the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, you have guts!”
“Dongfang Bai, it saved me the trouble of acting myself that you came out! You slaughtered the Qing Fox Clan for no reason the other day. All 57,300 members of the clan were killed, and your sins are monstrous. Today is your death date!” The green-robed man was Han Li, he looked up at Dongfang Bai, and said in a sinister tone.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the nearby crowd, and many people looked towards Dongfang Bai.
The Heavenly Court had long ordered that the weak should not be slaughtered for no reason, and those who violated the order would be severely punished. Han Li's words were so conclusive, I'm afraid it was not groundless.
“The Qing Fox Clan harbored you, a wanted person on the Immortal Extermination List, and attacked my search team. They deserved to die!” Dongfang Bai frowned and said immediately.
“There is no point in saying more. Today I am here to take your life, to comfort the souls of the Qing Fox Clan. Give me your life!” Han Li had no intention of saying any more, he made a hand seal and pointed.
The fifty to sixty Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords hovering around him shook, all shooting towards Dongfang Bai, making piercing sword cries.
Seeing this situation, Dongfang Bai made a hand seal and waved.
"Hua la la" A burst of crisp sound!
The green rings around him flew out, turning into more than a dozen green pythons again. Countless green silk ribbons flew out from these green pythons, wrapping around those Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.
