342: Door-to-door service

Sky River Domain.

Many Cultivators who were in secluded cultivation rushed out, feeling uneasy, as if a great disaster was about to strike.

Sometimes a Cultivator's intuition can detect danger, and it was precisely this restlessness that caused many people to leave the Sky River Domain immediately and find a place to hide.

However, just as they left the Sky River Domain, overwhelming pressure swept over them from the distance.

Immediately after.

Figures that blotted out the sky appeared above the Sky River Domain. Their aura was immensely powerful, and every single one of them was at least an Immortal King expert.

These people were all experts from the Lingyun Sect, numbering close to forty in total.

The leader was Qiu Qian, the Sect Head of the Lingyun Sect. His own aura was the most terrifying; the pressure of a Half-step Immortal Venerable left countless people within the Sky River Domain breathless.

"For the Lingyun Sect to send so many experts to the Sky River Domain, this is likely not a good sign."

"Could it be that the two major powers are about to wage war?"

"We're finished, finished! If a great war breaks out in the Sky River Domain, will any of us survive?"

Panic and fear spread continuously throughout the Sky River Domain, and experts in many surrounding areas also sensed the situation here and began frantically fleeing into the distance.

The Lingyun Sect has come knocking!

Moreover, they arrived with such a powerful display of force; this clearly boded ill.

There were still some Immortal King experts within the Northern Dark Empire. They used their Divine Sense to observe, watching everything with solemn expressions.

Su Yunqian's figure quickly arrived from the distance. He looked at the experts of the Lingyun Sect, his expression extremely serious.

"Why have the members of the Lingyun Sect come to my Divine Court!"

Although the Divine Court and the Lingyun Sect were neighbors, they had almost no interaction over the years. Now, with so many people showing up, they were clearly here to cause trouble.

"Your Divine Court?"

An Elder from the Lingyun Sect side sneered. His Immortal Power erupted, and he raised his hand, slamming out a palm strike.

In an instant.

The sky seemed about to explode. When an Immortal Lord expert attacked, the might was naturally considerable.

Su Yunqian narrowed his eyes. His expression was extremely solemn. As an Immortal King at Perfection, and possessing a powerful Immortal Body, he was not afraid even if the opponent was an Immortal Lord expert.

"Break!"

Accompanied by a fierce roar, the attack condensed by the Lingyun Sect Elder instantly dissolved.

The people of the Lingyun Sect instantly narrowed their eyes. The might of that previous strike was terrifying, something no Immortal King expert could easily withstand.

Even if one managed to block it, it shouldn't have been so effortless.

Upon seeing this, the Third Elder of the Lingyun Sect narrowed his eyes. The might of the Late Stage Immortal Lord burst forth. Wielding a long sword, he slashed down, and the Void Realm was instantly split into two like flowing water.

A look of panic appeared on Su Yunqian's face. If this strike hit him, he wouldn't die, but he would certainly be severely injured.

The Third Elder of the Lingyun Sect was a Late Stage Immortal Lord, while the person who attacked just now was merely an Early Stage Immortal Lord. The gap between them was immense.

Damn it!

Lingyun Sect!

Just as this terrifying Sword Intent was about to strike Su Yunqian, an even purer Sword Intent swept in from the distance, completely annihilating the Sword Intent of the Lingyun Sect's Third Elder.

Who!

The Third Elder of the Lingyun Sect instantly narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Su Yunqian. She was dressed in white, her long skirt fluttering, possessing a heroic and valiant air. She wore a long sword at her waist, and her aura was very calm.

Mu Qingling!

At the same time.

Inside a courtyard deep within the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce in the Sky River Domain.

Lin Yimeng curiously asked, "Husband, are you not going to intervene?"

Su Chen looked calmly toward the sky, smiling as he shook his head, "No rush. Let's observe the situation first. The Divine Court has had a very comfortable life these past few years; it's good for them to experience a little setback."

The Divine Court needs to develop and grow. If they always live under his protection, their growth will inevitably be restricted.

Without enduring wind and rain, how can they be tempered?

Of course, Su Chen had another reason for not intervening: he wanted to see the true extent of Mu Qingling's current strength.

Secondly, the Divine Court currently has Xiao Yan!

He holds an honorary position in the Divine Court and is currently stabilizing his cultivation in the Profound Sky Realm. The strongest expert in the Lingyun Sect is merely an Immortal Venerable; even counting those Immortal Venerables hidden in the dark, they aren't enough for Xiao Yan to fight alone.

Therefore, there was no great need for him to act.

His existence was partly for deterrence, but mostly as a trump card. Su Chen would not easily make a move unless they were truly at a dead end.

Su Chen had already helped the Su Family greatly, providing inexhaustible resources. If he continued to hold their hands like a doting father, it would only be detrimental to the Su Family's development.

On the other side.

The Third Elder of the Lingyun Sect looked at Mu Qingling and said coldly, "There shouldn't be an Immortal Lord Sword Cultivator in the Divine Court, should there? Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps colluding with the Divine Court?"

From that simple clash just now, he could tell this woman was no ordinary person, but definitely a powerful Sword Cultivator.

At this moment, several more powerful auras arrived from the distance. They were the high-ranking officials of the Divine Court, including Su Qingtian and Su Hongyuan.

Su Xiao did not come because he was in secluded cultivation attempting a Breakthrough to the Immortal Lord realm.

Su Qingtian was inwardly shocked when he saw the members of the Lingyun Sect standing in the Void Realm in the distance. He braced himself and said:

"Why have the members of the Lingyun Sect come to trespass upon my Divine Court?"

Qiu Qian's eyes flickered. He said indifferently, "This Northern Dark Empire was originally the territory of my Lingyun Sect. You took possession of my Lingyun Sect's territory without even notifying us. Aren't you the ones who offended first?"

Su Qingtian gritted his teeth and said, "It is merely a trivial Northern Dark Empire. My Divine Court can compensate the Lingyun Sect."

Although the Su Family had Su Chen, he was their trump card. Under normal circumstances, Su Qingtian was unwilling to use Su Chen.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make them look like useless trash?

Therefore, Su Qingtian wanted to try and resolve the issue using his own methods.

Su Qingtian continued to ask, "How about it?"

On the Lingyun Sect's side, the Ninth Elder sneered. With so many experts coming to their door today, how could the matter be settled with a mere compensation?

The Divine Court must be destroyed!

The Ninth Elder stepped forward and said mockingly, "Compensation, certainly. As long as the Divine Court hands over Lin Yimeng of the Chenmeng Chamber of Commerce, and then provides one hundred billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals, this matter will be considered settled."

One hundred billion?

To be honest, the Divine Court possessed that amount of Immortal Crystals, but the Northern Dark Empire was not worth that much.

Su Qingtian's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Qingling's icy voice ring out: "You just said... hand over Lin Yimeng?"

The Ninth Elder glanced at her and said dismissively, "So what if I did? That little slut Lin Yimeng severely injured my Disciple. Let her stay by my Disciple's side and atone for her sins."

He didn't say it directly, but the frivolity in his tone was very obvious.

In an instant.

An aura of extreme coldness was released from her body. Even the eyes of Su Qingtian and the others in the distance turned incredibly cold.

Outsiders did not understand Lin Yimeng's identity, but they knew it very clearly.

That was the Su Family Matriarch!

The next moment.

A terrifying Sword Intent suddenly slashed across, like a flash of light, carrying extreme destructive power.

"Pfft!"

A crisp and loud sound rang out. Within the Lingyun Sect group, the Ninth Elder's figure was seen split in half down the middle, his internal aura rapidly plummeting.

His face was etched with disbelief.

How... is this possible!
