236: Six-Party Alliance

"Boom!"

The external offensive grew fiercer.

It wasn't just the six individuals; the other Middle and Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, seeing the sudden change, had also reacted.

They each employed their methods, attacking the Great Formation of Tiannan Pavilion.

With each boom, Li Shuwu's face would turn pale.

Inside Tiannan Pavilion, the other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators manning the Formation were already experiencing chaotic Qi.

Only the Eastern and Southern Formation eyes remained relatively stable.

However, if this continued, the Formation was bound to break.

"Damn it!"

Li Shuwu's expression flickered uncertainly.

Moments later.

Li Shuwu actually gave up maintaining the Formation.

"Rumble!"

As soon as Li Shuwu rose and flew out, the Great Formation of Tiannan Pavilion was on the verge of shattering.

Outside Tiannan Pavilion.

High in the sky.

Li Shuwu's eyes were cold, and her Aura was somewhat chaotic.

"Since you are so eager to die, then I shall grant your wish."

Li Shuwu bit the tip of her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood which landed on a token she had taken out of her Storage Pouch.

"Cangwu Divine Sword, rise!"

Li Shuwu's face was as pale as snow.

Her magical power surged into the token before her.

Tiannan Peak, in the main hall.

A three-foot-long green peak sword emerged from the ground, hovering behind Li Shuwu.

Just then.

"Bang!"

The Great Formation of Tiannan Pavilion completely shattered.

"Venerable Divine Weapon!"

After breaking the Great Formation, the many Cultivators who were about to attack Tiannan Pavilion saw the ordinary three-foot-long green peak behind Li Shuwu, and their faces suddenly turned extremely pale, cold sweat constantly streaming down their bodies.

Ancestor Wuji and Wei Clan First Ancestor also had extremely solemn expressions.

"It's not a Venerable Divine Weapon, but it's close..."

True Monarch Lü Yuan spoke.

"Fortunately, we had anticipated this; Tiannan Pavilion indeed still possesses Venerable-level methods..."

This three-foot-long green peak was the Nancang Domain Lord's personal sword before he reached the Soul Transformation Realm. After he broke through to Soul Transformation, this sword was enshrined in Tiannan Pavilion.

With several blessings from the Nancang Domain Lord after his Soul Transformation, it was not a divine weapon, but it surpassed one, serving as Tiannan Pavilion's greatest trump card.

"Fellow Daoist Gao, please lend a hand."

Ancestor Wuji suddenly clasped his hands in a bow.

As his voice fell.

In a flash of lightning, the three-foot-long green peak had finished accumulating power, and Li Shuwu pointed a finger.

"Slash!"

She let out a low cry.

Power exceeding the Nascent Soul Stage limit emanated from the three-foot-long green peak.

The green peak longsword remotely cleaved down towards everyone.

"Clang!"

A several-zhang-tall green bronze bell landed before Ancestor Wuji and the many other Cultivators, blocking the three-foot-long green peak.

And then.

A Middle-aged Cultivator appeared.

"zhi ge bell (stop war bell)!"

"Gao Yu, your Gao Family dares to openly violate the alliance agreement!"

Li Shuwu's heart suddenly sank, and her unease finally materialized.

The zhi ge bell (stop war bell) was similar to the three-foot-long green peak, and the Gao Family Old Ancestor was precisely the Litian Domain Lord.

"Not really."

Gao Yu smiled, shook his head, and pointed at himself.

"This is my personal action, unrelated to the Gao Family."

"Shameless!"

Li Shuwu roared out in anger.

There had long been an alliance agreement between Domain Lords, prohibiting mutual attacks.

She hadn't expected this Gao Family to actually interfere.

"Go!"

Gao Yu allowed Li Shuwu to curse, then suddenly made his move.

The bronze bell rang out with a prolonged 'dong dong' sound, pulling the three-foot-long green peak away from Li Shuwu's control.

Li Shuwu, having been previously depleted, was unable to recall the three-foot-long green peak for a time.

"Remember your promise."

The Middle-aged Cultivator Gao Yu, carrying the bronze bell and the three-foot-long green peak, headed into the distance, leaving the battlefield, with only a voice echoing from afar.

"We will never forget!"

Ancestor Wuji and the others respectfully assented.

"Kill!"

With the threat of the Venerable Divine Weapon gone.

Ancestor Wuji and the others boldly attacked, charging towards Li Shuwu.

The other Cultivators rushed into Tiannan Peak.

Old Qin, a hunched figure in black, wielded a pair of precious weapons, carving out a bloody path and rushing between Ancestor Wuji and Li Shuwu, shielding Li Shuwu behind him.

"Uncle Qin..."

"This is a lost cause. I will create an opportunity; you must escape!"

Old Qin's hoarse voice echoed in Li Shuwu's mind.

Before Li Shuwu could reply, Ancestor Wuji and the others attacked again.

"Boom!"

Above the sky.

Seven towering Auras continuously collided.

Li Shuwu and Old Qin gradually began to lose.

Old Qin's expression turned fierce.

He suddenly turned his body and attacked the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang.

"Old fellow, good timing!"

The voices of Yin and Yang shifted; the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang stood back to back, constantly rotating, sometimes male, sometimes female, their attacks uncertain in Yin and Yang, making them very troublesome.

Seeing Old Qin attack like this, they were not surprised but delighted.

Their rotation speed suddenly doubled.

Making Old Qin unable to discern their direction.

The two suddenly disappeared, then reappeared beside Old Qin, and two finger imprints, one male and one female, simultaneously struck towards Old Qin.

Old Qin did not retreat or block, leaning to the side.

"Pfft!"

The two finger imprints directly struck Old Qin's body.

Before the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang could gloat, they saw Old Qin pull out a slight smile and directly crash between the two of them.

Enduring the pain, he struck out with two palms, scattering the two of them.

"Damn it!"

Their expressions changed.

With their secret technique broken by Old Qin, they were merely Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

Behind Old Qin, two precious weapons attacked the two of them.

Breaking their combined attack meant opening this encirclement.

Blood streamed from Old Qin's body, but he paid it no mind.

His figure flickered, blocking in front of Li Shuwu.

"Go!"

Old Qin's voice rang out.

All of Ancestor Wuji and the others' attacks were taken by Old Qin.

Tears welled in Li Shuwu's eyes as she broke through towards the direction guarded by the Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang.

"Useless!"

"Chase!"

The others cursed in anger.

Their figures flickered, about to pursue Li Shuwu.

However, Old Qin once again blocked in front of them.

"Leave him to me; you all go chase her! You absolutely cannot let Li Shuwu escape!"

True Monarch Lü Yuan struck out with a palm, repelling Old Qin, and quickly said.

Ancestor Wuji, Fairy Bai Hua, and Wei Clan First Ancestor all assented simultaneously, chasing after Li Shuwu.

When Old Qin tried to block again, he was unable to succeed, being obstructed by True Monarch Lü Yuan.

"Rumble~"

Inside Tiannan Pavilion.

Fighting continued.

Li Shuwu fled, Old Qin was dying, and the tide had turned against Tiannan Pavilion.

At the Western Formation eye.

A sweet-looking, rather young female Cultivator had a sorrowful expression, looking in the direction Li Shuwu had fled, muttering softly to herself.

"Senior Sister, you cannot protect Master's Legacy. Only I can preserve Tiannan Pavilion."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yan, congratulations on taking charge of Tiannan Pavilion."

A Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator wearing a Wuji Palace token came before this female Cultivator and congratulated her.

"Many thanks to all Fellow Daoists and several Old Ancestors."

Jin Yan smiled sweetly and bowed.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"Hahahaha..."

Laughter rang out.

High in the sky.

Old Qin's Aura disappeared.

Before him, the expressionless True Monarch Lü Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the decline of this Soul Transformation Realm power.

Old Qin died.

The Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang also subdued the two precious weapons and came not far from True Monarch Lü Yuan.

After a long while.

Ancestor Wuji and the others returned, carrying a Physical Body, but their expressions were all unpleasant.

"What happened?"

True Monarch Lü Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"She used a secret technique; Li Shuwu's Nascent Soul escaped."

"This..."

The Twin Venerables of Yin and Yang and True Monarch Lü Yuan's expressions changed slightly.

"No matter, Li Shuwu exhausted everything; the escaped Nascent Soul's power is less than one in ten thousand. Whether she can survive is unknown."

"Moreover, Possession and re-Cultivation involve too many variables. To Cultivate to this Realm, it would certainly take several hundred years."

"By then, why would we fear her alone?"

Wei Clan First Ancestor said, looking at everyone's expressions.

The others nodded, their expressions becoming relaxed.

After this day.

The rumor that Tiannan Pavilion Lord Li Shuwu Cultivated the Demonic Path was widely publicized.

The new Tiannan Pavilion Lord Jin Yan personally issued a kill order, commanding the entire domain to kill Li Shuwu on sight.

Jin Yan's Cultivation was only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

To consolidate Tiannan Pavilion's ruling position.

Tiannan Pavilion, Wuji Palace, Hundred Flowers Valley, Yin Yang Harmony Hall, Yuanya Grotto-Heaven, Jiangbei Wei Clan, and other six top-tier powers of the Central Continent jointly called for the establishment of the Six Directions Alliance.

Yuanya Grotto-Heaven was founded by True Monarch Lü Yuan.

The new Tiannan Pavilion Lord Jin Yan assumed the position of Alliance Leader.

Ancestor Wuji and the others became the five Grand Elders of the Six Directions Alliance.
