473: Swarming out

When Gu Changge lowered his hand.

In front of the Drunken Immortal Tower, only those empty, human-shaped craters remained.

Along with the ordinary Cultivators and commoners on the street, who were bewildered and had yet to recover from the successive terrifying incidents.

Within Sunset City, everyone core-related to the Chengyun Immortal Palace and the Four Seas Trading Firm had vanished.

Obliterated!

The wind blew gently across the empty street, swirling up a few fallen leaves and passing over the spots where the Immortal Palace Cultivators had once stood, now void of anything.

Those who had been interacting with them only felt a breeze brush past; looking around in confusion, they discovered that the important figures they were familiar with were gone.

Everyone stood there blankly, their minds a complete void, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Even less could they understand the scene they had witnessed with their own eyes, which felt like a hallucination.

"Let's go, Xiaobai. The flies here have been swatted clean."

Gu Changge turned around and looked at Xiaobai beside him.

Xiaobai seemed still immersed in the shocking scene of the enemies of an entire city being wiped out with a wave of a hand; it was only when Gu Changge looked over that he jolted back to his senses.

"Oh, oh, alright!" Xiaobai quickly responded, though his heart was churning with stormy waves.

"Master is just too strong! It was one thing to be ridiculously strong back in the Xuanhuang Great World. I thought that upon arriving in this so-called Immortal Realm, where experts are as numerous as clouds, he would surely restrain himself a bit."

"But look at this, he's even stronger! And it's this kind of strength that is completely incomprehensible!"

Gu Changge raised his eyes and looked toward the end of the horizon, at that towering mountain gate vaguely shrouded in auspicious clouds and immortal light.

"It's time to go and wipe out that bigger nest as well."

After saying this, he took a step, and the figures of the two vanished from the window of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

It was not until the figures of the master and servant had completely vanished from the world, a full dozen breaths later, that the seemingly frozen time and space inside and outside the Drunken Immortal Tower began to flow again.

"Too terrifying! With a wave of his hand, everyone is gone!"

"What kind of Realm must one possess to have such means?! Heavenly Immortal? No, I fear even an Immortal Lord could not do it so cleanly!"

The crowd completely erupted; fear, lingering dread, and disbelief—all sorts of emotions intertwined, making the scene noisy and chaotic.

"What did he say at the end?" Someone suddenly recalled the words Gu Changge spoke before leaving, their voice rising sharply.

" 'It's time to go and wipe out that bigger nest as well'?! "

This sentence was like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling wok of oil, causing everyone's clamor to instantly fall silent.

Bigger? A nest?

An answer that made scalps tingle and Souls tremble emerged in everyone's hearts.

Countless gazes subconsciously looked up, casting their vision further into the distance.

At the highest point of that continent, the place shrouded in auspicious clouds and immortal light, symbolizing supreme authority—the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace!

"Is he actually going to...?" Someone's lips trembled, unable to complete their sentence.

"The Chengyun Immortal Palace?!" Finally, someone trembled and spat out that suffocating name.

"Hiss—!!!" The sound of gasps for air rose and fell, merging into one, making the temperature inside the Drunken Immortal Tower seem to drop by several degrees.

To wipe out the Chengyun Immortal Palace?

If it were a quarter of an hour ago, and someone said they were going to look for trouble with the Chengyun Immortal Palace, everyone would have scoffed, thinking that person was insane.

But now, after witnessing with their own eyes how that Young Master in white, like brushing away dust, silently wiped Elder Guhe of the Middle Stage Earth Immortal Realm, the fat shopkeeper of the Ninth Layer True Immortal Realm, and all related personnel from this Sunset City.

This crazy idea actually seemed to have a sliver of possibility?

"Can he really do it?" Someone asked in a weak voice.

No one answered. But in everyone's heart, stormy waves had already been stirred up.

If what he said was true.

"The sky of this Chengyun Immortal Domain Fragment..." That old Cultivator looked toward the direction of the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace, his voice long and trembling, carrying a sense of insignificance and shock while witnessing the torrent of history sweeping in.

"I fear it is truly about to change..."

On the highest Peak of this fragmented continent stood an immortal palace cast from immortal gold and divine jade.

This place was the nominal Dominator of the Chengyun Immortal Domain Fragment, the main altar of the Chengyun Immortal Palace—the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace!

Almost the instant the two figures solidified—

"Hum—!!!" On the periphery of the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace, the protective mountain Formation reacted and triggered, guarding the entire Heavenly Palace as impregnable as a fortress!

A terrifying Aura sufficient to make True Immortals tremble and Earth Immortals stop in their tracks suddenly spread out!

"What maniac! How dare you trespass into the important grounds of the Immortal Palace?!"

"Stop! Ahead is the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace; unauthorized personnel, retreat immediately, or be killed without mercy!"

Stern shouts came from all directions, like rolling thunder.

Immediately following, the sound of breaking through the air rang out, and dozens of escape lights of various colors shot out.

These people were dressed in the uniform robes of the Immortal Palace, and their cultivation was at least at the Peak Void Immortal level.

The three leading Elders had Auras as heavy and steady as mountains, and they were all at the Early Stage Earth Immortal cultivation level!

They were the rotating Elders guarding the outer mountain gate.

The three Earth Immortal Elders instantly saw clearly the arrivals: a young man in white with an Aura as plain as a mortal, and a black-clad attendant with hidden Evil Qi.

Just these two, and they dared to barge directly into the Heavenly Palace? And triggered the highest alarm?

"Who are you??" The red-browed Elder in the center shouted in a deep voice, his Earth Immortal Aura, mixed with the faint reinforcement of the Immortal Palace Formation, pressing forward like a tidal wave, attempting to shock or even crush the arrivals.

According to common sense, even a Middle Stage Earth Immortal would need to weigh the situation when facing such a Formation and home-field pressure.

However, that vast Aura touched within three feet of Gu Changge and vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.

Gu Changge couldn't even be bothered to glance at these people blocking the way.

His gaze passed over them, passed over layers of immortal mountains, and landed directly on the main palace in the very center, the most magnificent place where Luck gathered.

There, several more profound, but also more powerful Auras were slowly awakening.

One of them had already reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm; it must be the so-called Palace Master.

There were three or four others, firmly at the Late-stage Earth Immortal level; they should be of the Elder rank.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that the other party completely ignored him, the red-browed Elder was furious.

"Playing god! Regardless of your background, you trespassed on the palace first, and showed contempt for the Immortal Palace later; today, you shall stay..."

He had not yet uttered the word "stay".

Gu Changge moved, his lips parted slightly, and toward the dozens or hundreds of Immortal Palace Cultivators blocking the way in front, he softly spat out one word:

"Disperse."

The word was spoken, without sound, and without light.

But once spoken, the law followed!

Those dozens of aggressive Immortal Palace Cultivators, whether Void Immortals or True Immortals, including the three rotating Elders at the Early Stage Earth Immortal level.

All vanished in that instant, as if they had never existed there.

"..."

All the Immortal Palace Disciples, deacons, and even the Elders deeper inside who saw this scene froze.

A chill exploded from the deepest part of their Souls, instantly freezing their limbs and bones.

One word, "Disperse," and dozens of high-level Cultivators, including three Earth Immortals, were just gone like that?

What Divine Ability is this?! What Realm is this?!

"Enemy attack—!!! It's an unparalleled enemy! Activate the Formation! Quickly!!!"

From the direction of the main palace, a roar finally came, mixed with shock and anger, and even carrying a trace of a trembling tone.

"Rumble—!!!"

The foundation that the Cheng Yun Heavenly Palace had accumulated for who knows how many tens of thousands of years was finally completely triggered at this moment.

The immortal mountains shone brightly simultaneously, and countless Formation patterns already inscribed on the mountains, earth veins, and the Void Realm suddenly lit up, connecting heaven and earth!

Star Formation!

The Immortal Palace's strongest protective Formation; it is said that in its prime, it was sufficient to briefly withstand the attacks of a Late Stage Heavenly Immortal!

At the same time, inside the main palace, four terrifying Auras that seemed to merge with heaven and earth soared into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds for ten thousand miles!

Four figures stepped out and arrived within the light shield of the Formation, looking at Gu Changge outside the screen across the barrier.

The one in the center had an ancient and simple face, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed as if the sun and moon were rising and falling.

It was the current Palace Master of the Chengyun Immortal Palace.

The three behind him were all Elders at the Peak Earth Immortal Realm!

The Immortal Palace's highest combat power, out in full force!
