582: Chapter 582 Qingxuan's Expedition

In the distance, there were still broken walls and debris, and a faint scent of blood permeated the air, but more than that, there was a reverent silence.

The commoners and Cultivators in the city all remained hidden, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

Only the figures of Azure Profound Sect Disciples guarding the city gates and patrolling the streets moved slowly through the city.

Just as the people of the Azure Profound Sect stepped into the City Lord's Manor and began handling the city's takeover...

The news of the great battle in Sunset City spread through the entire Chengyun Immortal Domain with the speed of lightning, as if it had grown wings.

Whether it was remote small factions or large Sects entrenched in their regions, anyone who heard of the matter was shocked beyond measure, falling into a state of uproar.

No one expected that the arrogant Chiyang Sect, one of the four major powers of the Chengyun Immortal Domain...

Had deployed four Earth Immortal experts and over a dozen True Immortals, a truly luxurious lineup.

Yet they met their downfall in Sunset City, completely wiped out by a mysterious force that suddenly appeared.

Even the mysterious Heavenly Immortal expert who appeared at the end was not spared; not a single person escaped with their life.

"I heard that mysterious force has heaven-defying combat power. The five leading youths possess the strength to crush True Immortals despite their young age."

"And with Five Ancestors holding the line, they can even easily slay a Heavenly Immortal!"

"There's also someone carrying a spiked club who is incredibly cruel!"

Discussions rose and fell among the major powers. Beyond the shock, there was a deep-seated fear.

In the eastern part of the Chengyun Immortal Domain, within the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's headquarters, the atmosphere in the main hall was as heavy as frozen ice, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master and all the Elders were gathered. Their faces were pale and their expressions grave; no one dared to speak lightly.

Only the candles burning in the hall flickered with a weak light, making everyone's expressions look even more somber.

Even more shocking was that sitting on the Sect Head's seat at the front of the hall was a man in white with a cold aura, Shen Hanchuan.

A majestic Earth Immortal Peak aura emanated from him, with pressure sweeping through the entire hall, making people instinctively feel awe and fear.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master, who should have been sitting there, stood respectfully below.

Standing side-by-side with the Elders, he looked humble, not even having the courage to look the man in white in the eye.

The Drunken Immortal Tower's Tower Master, Liu Tingfeng, was also present.

The cold man sat on the Sect Head's seat, his brow furrowed and his eyes so dark they seemed to drip ink, his aura becoming increasingly violent.

The tables and chairs in the hall trembled slightly under his pressure, as if they would shatter at any moment.

Clearly, he had also learned the news that the Chiyang Sect was annihilated and Sunset City was controlled by the mysterious force.

After a long silence, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master finally plucked up his courage and slowly raised his head.

He looked at Shen Hanchuan cautiously, his voice trembling with unease as he bowed and asked:

"Emissary, the Chiyang Sect has been wiped out. That mysterious force suddenly struck with heaven-defying combat power. What should we do?"

"No one expected such a mysterious force to suddenly appear in the Chengyun Immortal Domain, disrupting all our plans."

As the Pavilion Master finished speaking, the Elders in the hall also raised their heads, their gazes gathering on Shen Hanchuan, their eyes full of unease and confusion.

It turned out that Shen Hanchuan was a member of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, which had already secretly laid out a plan to quietly take control of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Chiyang Sect.

These were the two most powerful Sects among the four major powers of the Chengyun Immortal Domain.

Originally, as long as they took down the other two major powers, they could completely control the Chengyun Immortal Domain.

Shen Hanchuan slowly opened his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the Pavilion Master and Elders below. His voice was bone-chillingly cold, filled with anger and reproach:

"Useless! A bunch of useless fools! So many experts from the Chiyang Sect, four Earth Immortals, and dozens of True Immortals, all destroyed just like that!"

"Even the Heavenly Immortal expert the Immortal Alliance finally deployed was killed. How on earth did they handle things?!"

The fury in his words made everyone below tremble. They lowered their heads, not daring to offer any rebuttal.

"Please calm your anger, Emissary," the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master hurriedly bowed to apologize, his voice trembling even more.

"This happened so suddenly. That mysterious force was too powerful, and we didn't anticipate it..."

"Now that the Chiyang Sect is gone, we've lost a major ally. What should we do next? Please give us your instructions, Emissary!"

The other Elders also chimed in, their expressions panicked: "Please give us your instructions, Emissary. We will follow your arrangements in everything!"

Shen Hanchuan took a deep breath, forcing down the anger in his heart, though his eyes remained dark.

However, he regained some composure as he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of confidence:

"What are you panicking for? Rest assured, the Immortal Lord has already received the news and is on his way.

With the Immortal Lord here, that mysterious force won't be able to stir up any trouble!"

Hearing the words 'Immortal Lord', a glimmer of hope and awe flashed in the eyes of the Pavilion Master and Elders below.

Although they had never met the Immortal Lord, they knew that he was a top-tier powerhouse in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, with unfathomable strength.

As long as the Immortal Lord arrived, he would surely be able to suppress that mysterious force and turn the current situation around.

Within the Myriad Beast Mountain Sect, after the Sect Master learned that all their outposts were destroyed and three True Immortals had died miserably, he smashed the jade cup in his hand on the spot.

His face was ashen, and his aura was violent yet filled with deep fear.

In the main hall, the Elders were talking all at once, in a state of chaos.

Opinions were divided and the arguments were heated. The Myriad Beast Mountain Sect Master remained silent, his eyes full of struggle.

He was unwilling to submit, yet afraid to go to war. He couldn't bear to abandon the Sect's Foundation, leaving him in a dilemma.

Three days later, the Sunset City City Lord's Manor was filled with Spiritual Qi. The previous murderous aura had faded, replaced by a peaceful and solemn atmosphere.

Xiao Ruobai was in secluded meditation, organizing his insights from the great battle in Sunset City, with the War God Golden Light pulled inward.

Although his cultivation hadn't reached a Breakthrough, his aura had become increasingly condensed and mellow, and his War God Dao Rhyme had become even more pure.

On the other side, Fang Hanyu used the momentum of the battle's tempering to strike at the True Immortal Realm with all his might. After a low rumble...

A majestic True Immortal aura shot into the sky. Chaos Sword Qi swirled around him, its edge sharper than ever before.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaopang and Mo Yu had also reached the barrier of the Void Immortal Peak. They were just one step away from a Breakthrough, their auras surging, ready for a Realm transition at any moment.

Inside the City Lord's Manor hall, Xuan Yangzi sat in the main seat, with the Five Ancestors, Elders from various Peaks, and the five youths including Xiao Ruobai gathered together.

Xuan Yangzi's gaze swept over everyone, his voice steady and powerful:

"Sunset City is stable, and the main force of the Chiyang Sect has been wiped out, leaving them leaderless.

Pass down the order for the army to assemble immediately. We will first take over all of the Chiyang Sect's territory. Once the Foundation is stable..."

"We will then conquer Myriad Beast Mountain, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and the Xuan Yin Sect in sequence, completely taking control of the Chengyun Immortal Domain!"

"Good! I've been waiting for this day!"

Shi Wanshan rubbed his hands together, his True Immortal aura surging and his Battle Intent soaring.

The other Peak Masters and Elders also responded in unison, their voices shaking the hall, their eyes filled with eager excitement.

A moment later, the Azure Profound Sect army finished assembling.

Their immortal might was vast, sweeping in all directions.

Scattered forces or Sects encountered along the way felt this terrifying pressure and were all scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

They closed their mountain gates early, remaining hidden and not even daring to take a loud breath.
