668: 211_1 668: 211_1 The relationship between the three great Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty was extremely complex.
Each of the sects wanted to annihilate the other to reign supreme alone, yet they had to unite against a common external threat.
That’s because, oftentimes, their interests aligned.
For example, none of the three wanted a powerful Immortal Sect appearing near their own nation.
And near the Great Lai Dynasty, there was only one powerful Immortal Sect—Hundred Peaks Sect.
Ever since they learned of the results of the competition held by the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and knew of the Golden Core masters from Hundred Peaks Sect, they had abandoned any thoughts of instigating troubles during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth to eliminate Hundred Peaks Sect.
However, with only three Perfect Completion Golden Core masters remaining in the Hundred Peaks Sect and with the arrival of people from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, the three Immortal Sects, regardless of their own calculations, all wanted to seize the opportunity to destroy Hundred Peaks Sect.
Unless, in the worst-case scenario, no force attacked Hundred Peaks Sect, at which point they would have to consider whether the other two Immortal Sects were conspiring something.
Among the three great sects, the one closest to Hundred Peaks was Void Breaking Sect.
Therefore, the meeting place chosen by the three great sects was also within Void Breaking Sect.
At the foot of the mountain of Void Breaking Sect, the masters of the sect had already assembled, and without exception, all were at the Golden Core Stage.
Not just Void Breaking Sect, but once individuals from East Sea Mirage and Star Moon Mansion arrived, those who appeared were all at the Golden Core Stage, too.
Now, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, the strongest beings were at the Golden Core Stage.
They would certainly bring along masters at the Golden Core Stage.
As for the others at the Core Formation Stage…
This time, after all, they were going to attack another Immortal Sect.
Bringing Core Formation Stage disciples wouldn’t be very meaningful.
After all, the gap between Core Formation Stage cultivators was simply too wide.
Moreover, the people of the three great sects hadn’t mobilized all their Golden Core Stage members.
They couldn’t possibly abandon their own sect and its foundation en masse.
At the foot of Void Breaking Sect’s mountain, a man dressed in dark water-green silk robes, hair like clouds, and a handsome appearance with clear and bright eyes, stood leisurely.
He first looked in the direction of Star Moon Mansion, his gaze landing on the eminently steady-looking man leading the group, and a hint of surprise crossed his face as he said in astonishment, “Older Brother Su, no, I should address you as Sovereign Su.
I thought Sister Liu would lead the team this time, I didn’t expect it to be you.”
Star Moon Mansion had only two Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection experts, one of whom was the current Mansion Master and the other was the deputy.
An Immortal Sect wouldn’t let their leader descend the mountain lightly.
Unexpectedly, it was the Mansion Master whom Star Moon Mansion sent this time!
Sovereign Su gave a salute and said, “I haven’t descended the mountain in a long while.
Hearing that Yan Yourong from Hundred Peaks Sect, as well as Liè Yàn, are among the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s top ten Immortal Generals, especially Yan Yourong, who entered the top four of the imperial competition, I wanted to see for myself the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage within the True Immortal Dynasty.
Thus, I volunteered to come down.”
He paused for a moment and then looked at the man opposite him, asking, “Deputy Sect Leader Xu, you are now the Vice Sect Master of Void Breaking Sect.
It seems this time Deputy Sect Leader Xu is leading the team.”
Vice Sect Master Xu of Void Breaking Sect responded with a salute, “Just like Older Brother Su, I too wish to visit Hundred Peaks Sect to witness the highest existence of the Golden Core Stage within True Immortal Dynasty.”
As he spoke, a sneer flickered in his heart.
If someone else had given that reason, he might have believed it, but Su Fangrong was known across the entire cultivation world of the Great Lai Dynasty for his prudence, not to mention after becoming the Mansion Master of Star Moon Mansion, he surely grew even more cautious.
He did not believe that Su Fangrong would lead a team for such a reason.
Indeed, the invitation by East Sea Mirage and Sun Moon Demon Sect to attack Hundred Peaks Sect wasn’t as simple as it looked.
Speaking of which, Xu Wenxuan turned to look in the direction of East Sea Mirage.
Unlike Void Breaking Sect and Star Moon Mansion, East Sea Mirage didn’t have one person leading; instead, it was three.
One of them, a stranger clothed in black and exuding endless Demonic Qi, was evidently the Eclipse Demon of the Sun Moon Demon Sect.
His gaze quickly passed over the Eclipse Demon and landed on the other two.
These two, a man and a woman—the man handsome, and the woman of plain appearance, exuded a cold aura like a thousand-year Frost, chilly and detached.
Xu Wenxuan gave a salute with a smile towards the two, “Older Brother Wen and Older Sister Tang, you are always together.
The other must be the Eclipse Demon of the Sun Moon Demon Sect.”
Both Void Breaking Sect and Star Moon Mansion had only two Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection individuals, whereas East Sea Mirage boasted three.
Among them, Wen Zhanyan and Tang Yushuang, a pair of Dao companions.
The two were admitted into East Sea Mirage in the same year; they even shared the same master, lived together since childhood, and later developed mutual affection, becoming Dao companions.
Their relationship was solid with perfect synergy, and they excelled in Combined Attack Technique.
Xu Wenxuan felt that in a one-on-one fight, whether against Wen Zhanyan or Tang Yushuang, he didn’t believe he would necessarily lose.
