459: New Immortal Sect War

Half a year later, the Azure Origin Sect was completely forced back to its Sect grounds, and at the same time, the mountain-protecting battle was also forced to commence.

That top-tier Rank Three Formation, which had been silent for thousands of years, was activated for the first time, its brilliance filling the entire mountain range.

This ancient Formation probably never expected that one day it would shine and play its part.

And just as the people of the Crimson Light Sect stood arrogantly before the Formation, they also never expected that in the end, they would be the losers.

It was a bright and sunny day; when almost the entire Crimson Light Sect had mobilized to the gates of the Azure Origin Sect, countless Flying Boats suddenly appeared in their home, the Crimson Radiance Domain.

These Flying Boats traveled through the air with great momentum, heading straight for the Crimson Light Sect's headquarters.

By the time the people of the Crimson Light Sect realized what was happening, the Flying Boats had already landed inside the Crimson Light Sect; the opposition hadn't even had time to activate the Mountain-Protecting Formation.

And atop those Flying Boats, the flags representing the Green Mountain Sect were emblazoned.

The Azure Origin Sect bordered the Green Mountain Sect, but was separated from the Crimson Light Sect by an entire domain.

No one expected that the people of the Green Mountain Sect would appear on this land.

Furthermore, they had done an excellent job of blockading information; the people of the Crimson Light Sect only reacted once the enemy was right before their eyes.

It was mainly because the Crimson Light Sect had almost completely mobilized this time; the Cultivators left behind to guard the Sect weren't at a high enough Realm, which was why it was so difficult to detect the enemy's tracks.

Regardless, the other party had easily occupied the entire Crimson Light Sect just like that.

Although the Crimson Light Sect still had a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator presiding over it.

But the Green Mountain Sect had one as well.

Therefore, as long as the Sect wasn't facing total annihilation, figures of this level would not take action.

And just as the Crimson Light Sect had surrounded the Azure Origin Sect, what the Green Mountain Sect wanted wasn't the entire Crimson Light Sect, but rather reparations from them.

When this happened, the Crimson Light Sect Disciples at the front lines were completely thrown into disarray.

They never expected that while they were bravely killing enemies at the front and were on the verge of total victory, their home would suddenly be gone.

Left with no choice, they could only retreat in a panic, rushing back to discuss peace terms with the Green Mountain Sect.

From this perspective, the Crimson Light Sect could be said to have lost this great war miserably.

As for the army sent by Long Yu, since the Crimson Light Sect was no longer fighting, there was even less reason for them to stay.

Moreover, with their strength, they truly had no way to break through the Azure Origin Sect's mountain gate.

The great war ended dramatically in this manner.

When this news reached Zhou Luo's ears, he was also somewhat surprised.

"What a brilliant move of 'Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao'!"

Even he couldn't help but marvel at the depth of the Azure Origin Sect's planning.

Actually, the main reason was that no one expected the Green Mountain Sect would choose to help the Azure Origin Sect at a time like this.

Although tracing back their history, these two Sects shared the same ancestor.

But ever since they split due to differing ideologies, the two great Sects had basically ceased all contact.

It turned out that all of this had been an act for others to see.

Because for the Green Mountain Sect to invade the Crimson Radiance Domain, it would be impossible not to pass through the Azure Origin Sect.

Now that the situation was settled, the Azure Origin Sect's crisis had been easily resolved.

No wonder when he had wanted to take over Feng City, he was beaten to it by the Xue Family, who had the backing of the Green Mountain Sect; most importantly, the Azure Origin Sect had shown no reaction at all.

Thinking about it now, it was likely something the Azure Origin Sect had tacitly permitted at the time.

It was just that to prevent exposure, they hadn't made the matter public.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but marvel at how calculating these people from the immortal Sects were.

Originally, he had thought of using this great war to increase his influence, but now it seemed he had been too hasty; he should wait until he broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, the Azure Origin Sect's overall losses weren't significant this time, whereas the Crimson Light Sect had suffered heavy losses.

Just as the war between the two great immortal Sects came to such a dramatic conclusion, another bombshell piece of news was released.

A dispute had arisen between the Ice Snow Sect and the Wan Gu Sect; Disciples from both sides had already begun small-scale Magical Combat at the border, and the situation showed signs of worsening.

"How could this happen?"

At the Zhou Residence, Zhou Luo asked the anxious-looking Hong Han.

Hong Han's face was ashen as he said angrily, "The Ice Snow Sect insists that our Wan Gu Sect is harboring demonic Cultivators, so they want to enter the Sect personally to investigate."

Just half a year ago, Yao Wu had informed Hong Han about her discovery that an Ice Snow Sect Disciple was a demonic Cultivator.

After learning that this matter involved demonic Cultivators, Hong Han didn't dare to be negligent and immediately sent a message back to the Sect.

And just as this letter arrived at the Wan Gu Sect, the Ice Snow Sect had also received a missive claiming that demonic Cultivators came from the Wan Gu Sect, even including evidence.

Most importantly, Lu Wei, who had come to deliver the letter, was severely injured and on the brink of death, seemingly beyond saving.

As for Leng Ming and the others who were with him, their whereabouts were unknown.

When Lu Wei woke up, he said that the demonic Cultivators had sent a large number of their kind to ambush and kill them to prevent them from sending the message back to the Sect.

Disciples like Leng Ming had all died to cover for him, and he had finally managed to escape back to the Sect with his Life.

Looking at the evidence he brought back, the Ice Snow Sect was furious and demanded an explanation from the Wan Gu Sect.

Having received Yao Wu's letter, the Wan Gu Sect naturally believed that everything was a scheme by the demonic Cultivator from the Ice Snow Sect, and even reasonably suspected that Lu Wei himself was the demonic Cultivator.

Thus, the Sect dispatched Immortal Master Ling An to take Yao Wu back to the Sect, intending to have her personally identify the person.

Identifying a demonic Cultivator was not difficult.

To prove their innocence, the Ice Snow Sect immediately prepared to conduct an identification on Lu Wei.

But unexpectedly, on the night before the identification, Lu Wei was suddenly ambushed and killed by demonic Cultivators, leaving no remains.

And at the scene, the aura of Gu insects remained.

This completely solidified the fact that the Wan Gu Sect had demonic Cultivators; furthermore, with Lu Wei dead and his body gone, there was no way to prove whether he was a demonic Cultivator or not.

On this matter, the Wan Gu Sect clearly stated that their side had no demonic Cultivators.

They even personally conducted identifications on Yao Wu, and not just her, but also Zhou Luo and the others.

The result was naturally that everything was normal.

Coupled with the fact that the war between the two great immortal Sects was intensifying at the time, it drew most people's attention.

So, the matter eventually fizzled out.

Everything was thought to have returned to peace, but not long ago, the Ice Fairy emerged from seclusion.

This Fairy, who had already made a name for herself in the Jinyun Continent in the past, had now completed her transformation from the Golden Core Realm and was fully promoted to a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

And the most crucial point was that the deceased Leng Ming was her nephew, a blood relative, and someone she had always valued.

Now that her nephew had been killed by a demonic Cultivator and the Sect didn't dare to protest due to the Wan Gu Sect's power.

She naturally could not endure it.

Especially since this matter was related to the demonic Cultivators she detested the most.

So, this Nascent Soul Great Cultivator immediately declared that she would personally go to the Wan Gu Sect to investigate thoroughly and find the demonic Cultivator hidden within the Sect.

The events of the past were brought up once again.

How could the innocent Wan Gu Sect allow the other party to investigate their Sect thoroughly?

If word got out, it would be a provocation against their Sect.

Thus, the Wan Gu Sect flatly refused.

The Ice Fairy was incensed, which led to this small-scale Magical Combat...
