231: Appearance in Chapter 231
Support from Yuanxu Mountain wouldn't be coming?
This caused the hope in everyone's hearts to shatter even further.
And this was exactly what True Monarch Fang Xuan and Xu Jing had intended.
After all, among the four major Sects, only Yuanxu Mountain had sent a Kuhai Master of the Bitter Sea Realm, while the other three Sects had only sent Spirit Platform Realm Disciples.
As for the Disciples from other Sects and clans outside the four major ones, they didn't even care about them.
Only this Kuhai Master was a bit troublesome, as they feared he might discover something.
Therefore, they simply decided to intentionally show him a flaw, letting him take the initiative to contact Yuanxu Mountain. Then, they used special means to ensure Xu Chuan's message couldn't be sent out, leaving it forever on this land.
Their plan had indeed succeeded.
"You two, will you come with me on your own, or should I 'invite' you?"
Xu Jing then looked at Yu Yaoqin and Lin Ming; these two were excellent bait and could not be let go.
"Senior Brother,"
Yu Yaoqin whispered to Lin Ming.
If this continued, the two of them might really be captured, and the others were no match for those Other Shore Realm cultivators.
It seemed only they could break the current deadlock.
"Leave it to me, Junior Sister,"
Lin Ming said with a smile.
Junior Sister should save her own methods for saving her life.
"Luotian Sect, five hundred years ago, Old Ancestor Chongshan slaughtered right through your nest. Now that you've recovered, you've come out to jump around again,"
Lin Ming said bluntly.
Lin Ming was quite interested in the history and gossip of the cultivation world; he often spent his free time in the Scripture Pavilion reading such things.
Old Ancestor Chongshan, Chen Cheng, was one of the few cultivators to reach the level of a Nirvana Ancestor through cultivation alone.
Five hundred years ago, when the righteous and demonic sides clashed, this Old Ancestor Chongshan remained neutral, helping neither side, and neither side dared to provoke this Nirvana Ancestor.
After all, a Nirvana Ancestor's influence on the battle was immense.
However, while the Luotian Sect was massacring a city to refine luotian great pills, they accidentally killed his grandson—his only grandson—and refined him into a luotian great pill.
The result was that Old Ancestor Chongshan was pushed directly into the Righteous Path camp. This Old Ancestor Chongshan personally hunted down everyone from the Luotian Sect, killing them regardless of their cultivation level.
Eventually, everyone in the Luotian Sect was forced to retreat to their base, but with the help of Baijue Mountain, he found their headquarters and stormed in alone.
He faced the then-Sect Leader of the Luotian Sect, who was also the Sect's only Nirvana Ancestor and was said to be at the same level of strength as Old Ancestor Chongshan.
The two engaged in a massive battle at the Luotian Sect headquarters. The entire base was razed to the ground during that fight, and Old Ancestor Chongshan even pulled a massive mountain down to seal the site.
The Sect Leader of the Luotian Sect was killed by Old Ancestor Chongshan, but Old Ancestor Chongshan did not emerge unscathed; he passed away twenty years after killing the Luotian Sect Leader.
However, it was said that this Old Ancestor Chongshan's Lifespan was already nearly exhausted, so his passing was considered somewhat premature.
After he passed away, all of his descendants joined Baijue Mountain and received its protection.
From then on, the Luotian Sect was forced out of the game early. Although the Sect was not completely destroyed, they basically stopped appearing in the cultivation world.
He hadn't expected that after only five hundred years, they would become active again, even acting alongside the Yougu Sect and Blood Fiend Sect to set this trap.
Clearly, after five hundred years, they could no longer restrain themselves.
But was five hundred years enough for them to recover?
While five hundred years might seem like a long time to mortals, it wasn't necessarily that long for the cultivation world.
Lin Ming was curious about where the confidence of these Demonic Path people came from.
This reminded Lin Ming of the abnormality he had sensed a while ago; could it have been orchestrated by these Demonic Path cultivators?
Next, there would likely be a good show to watch.
"Hmph..."
Xu Jing snorted coldly.
"My Luotian Sect is eternal; everything in the world shall eventually return to Luotian,"
Xu Jing continued.
Regarding this, he naturally had nothing to say. On one hand, what Lin Ming said was indeed the truth; on the other hand, there was no point in talking to prisoners and dead men.
He extended a palm.
In an instant, everyone except Lin Ming and Yu Yaoqin felt a powerful sense of suffocation. A fear originating from death immediately surged into their hearts.
Yet, they could do nothing.
Lin Ming certainly couldn't let the other party's goal succeed; he had seen enough of this play.
It was time for him to invite another protagonist to the stage.
A Jade Slip appeared in Lin Ming's hand, and he simply crushed it.
Instantly, that terrifying sensation of death vanished from everyone's hearts.
Following that, a finger print manifested and descended toward Xu Jing and the others.
Locked on.
Xu Jing and the other two were completely locked on. They could sense that they couldn't dodge at all; they were thoroughly pinned down by this finger print.
Forget the three of them—everyone present except Lin Ming didn't dare to make the slightest movement.
They had a vague feeling that if they moved recklessly, they would be the ones to die.
Without a doubt, this was the power of a Nirvana Realm expert.
This time, it was their turn to sense that deathly feeling.
However, there was no trace of panic on the faces of Xu Jing and the others.
In the next second, an old man appeared before them without any warning.
He faced the finger print directly and collided with it.
A black cloth filled with Corpse Qi was pulled from the old man's body, wrapping both him and the finger print within it.
"Void Tribulation Finger. As expected of one of the most dazzling people from Yuanxu Mountain in the last thousand years."
An aged voice came from within the black cloth.
The black cloth pulled away and returned to the old man's body.
"Greetings, Sect Leader."
Xu Jing looked at the old man and spoke with a face full of respect.
This was the new Sect Leader of the Luotian Sect, or rather, the former Deputy Sect Leader.
Since the fall of the previous Sect Leader, the Luotian Sect had suffered heavy losses and had gone into hiding under the leadership of this new Sect Leader.
Until two hundred years ago, their Sect Leader made a certain deal with the Blood Fiend Sect. Since that deal, the Sect Leader had made a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.
"Nirvana Realm."
Old Xuan's voice rang out in Li Yunfan's heart.
"Old Xuan, are you certain?"
Li Yunfan asked solemnly.
He hadn't expected a Nirvana Realm expert to appear, which made Li Yunfan increasingly nervous.
After all, Nirvana Realm experts already stood at the peak of the Qingxuan Realm.
Anything higher would be Ascension.
"Nirvana Early Stage, it's not a big problem. Get ready,"
Old Xuan said in a deep voice.
A Nirvana Early Stage cultivator was indeed not a major issue.
However, they could not afford to stay any longer.
"Wait a moment, Old Xuan."
