Good boy, you still want to quibble? !
“Hmm? This Liuguang Sect really is hiding something. The Second Elder and Sect Master truly had foresight.”
Although a little surprised that his attack was blocked, Lie Zhaoran wasn't unexpected; instead, he sneered.
“If even my palm strike can be blocked, then sending over some Fourth or Fifth Revolution trash would likely still result in certain death.”
Wei Jianglei said in a deep voice, “This aura… hmm, it’s a Sixth Revolution. To be able to block your palm strike so easily, he’s quite something.”
“Sirs, why did you attack without cause?”
At this moment, a voice came, and it was Xu Songnian flying up, speaking in a deep voice.
Being in the Liuguang Sect, he didn’t have any intention of showing off.
However, Lie Zhaoran’s palm strike just now descended from the sky, encompassing even him within its attack range.
Moreover, the Fuyun Courtyard where they were located was the highest point of the Liuguang Sect. As the palm print descended, they bore the brunt of it. Seeing Zhong Qing remain as still as a mountain beside him, Xu Songnian had no choice but to intervene and block it.
Not only that, but he was also quite surprised.
The power of that palm strike had definitely exceeded the level of a Sixth Revolution Pseudo-Immortal.
And the auras of the two figures in the sky were surprisingly similar, with the one who attacked being even slightly weaker.
In other words, both of these individuals were at least Seventh Revolution Pseudo-Immortals!
While there was only one level difference between Sixth Revolution and Seventh Revolution, it was a world of difference.
It was well-known that Pseudo-Immortals were divided into nine Revolutions, but the forces of the Second Heaven were divided into one to three stars.
This was because the transition from Third to Fourth Revolution, and from Sixth to Seventh Revolution, were both significant transformations, with the gap being even larger than the one to three tribulations of the Great Emperor Realm.
Reaching Seventh Revolution and above meant being at the pinnacle of power in the Second Heaven, truly strong individuals.
Forces with a Seventh Revolution Pseudo-Immortal overseeing them and those without were completely different concepts.
Even among the Four Great Immortal Sects, they would be considered absolute high-level figures.
And now, two had arrived at once?
This Liuguang Sect… no, this Zhong Qing was indeed extraordinary.
After all, ordinary people weren't qualified to provoke opponents of this caliber.
But when he clearly saw the appearances of those two individuals, he showed even more surprise.
“Sirs, are you… from the Shangqing Immortal Sect…”
He thought back and remembered their identities: “Elder Lie, Elder Wei?”
As the son of an Elder of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, he recognized individuals of the Elder level from the Four Great Immortal Sects.
He suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
Meanwhile, the two Elders opposite him also noticed Xu Songnian, the person who had just blocked their attack.
“You are—the Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect?”
This startled both of them.
Although they had already concluded before coming that the Yuhua Immortal Sect was behind this, seeing someone from the Yuhua Immortal Sect here was within expectations.
However, they never expected that the person appearing here would be the son of the Yuhua Immortal Sect’s Sect Master.
This status was even more distinguished than that of an ordinary Elder.
Lie Zhaoran, who had a more fiery temper, was the first to rage: “It really is your Yuhua Immortal Sect instigating this! Now you’ve been caught red-handed!”
Wei Jianglei’s expression darkened, and he said nothing.
At this booming shout, Xu Songnian was instantly stunned.
Lie Zhaoran and Wei Jianglei appearing here as Elders of the Shangqing Immortal Sect had already surprised him greatly.
Originally, combining what Zhong Qing had said earlier, Xu Songnian had thought that Zhong Qing had offended the Shangqing Immortal Sect, causing them to come knocking.
But then the other party immediately said, “It really is your Yuhua Immortal Sect instigating this,” which completely bewildered him.
What do you mean, my Yuhua Immortal Sect instigated it?
So, we’re involved in this too?
He paused for a moment before speaking: “Sirs, is there some misunderstanding?”
Lie Zhaoran looked down and saw Zhong Qing with a calm expression in the Fuyun Courtyard.
And Xu Songnian had just flown up from that courtyard.
It was clear that the two of them had been together just now.
Upon seeing Zhong Qing, Lie Zhaoran became even more enraged.
“You brat, still trying to quibble?”
“We Four Great Immortal Sects have always been united and supported each other. Yet your Yuhua Immortal Sect has disregarded righteousness, secretly coveting the Luck that our Shangqing Immortal Sect has collected in the Lower Realm over the past two hundred thousand years, and stealing the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian.”
“Now that you’ve been caught red-handed, what more do you have to say?”
“Your Yuhua Immortal Sect is so arrogant, do you really think our Shangqing Immortal Sect is easy to bully?”
At this, Xu Songnian was completely stumped.
He had only been ordered by the Sect Master to investigate the Spiritual Land and find the person who had Undergone Tribulation the other day. How did the Yuhua Immortal Sect suddenly get such a huge accusation thrown at them?
Coveting the Luck collected by the Shangqing Immortal Sect for two hundred thousand years?
He knew about the Four Great Immortal Sects collecting Luck. Although he himself hadn’t experienced it many times, the last time it was their Yuhua Immortal Sect.
But he swore to Heaven that he had never heard a single word about coveting the other party’s Luck and the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian!
“This…” An ominous premonition rose in Xu Songnian’s heart: “Sirs, this is probably a misunderstanding. My Sect has absolutely no such intention.”
Lie Zhaoran sneered: “Still trying to quibble? It seems Xu Qianfeng really takes this matter seriously, even sending out his precious son.”
“I’d like to see if Xu Qianfeng will feel pain when you die by my hand!”
If they had originally harbored a slight doubt about the conclusions of the Second Elder and the Sect Master, then upon seeing Xu Songnian here, all doubt vanished.
If it weren’t for the Yuhua Immortal Sect instigating this, how could the dignified Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect appear in this desolate place, a Spiritual Land where not even a two-star force could be found, and just happen to be with Zhong Qing, whom they were pursuing?
A coincidence? A joke! No fool would believe such a thing!
The moment his words fell, Lie Zhaoran had already attacked again. A Void Realm Hand condensed, covering the sky and sun, encompassing an area of one hundred thousand li, pressing down on Xu Songnian’s head.
Xu Songnian’s expression changed drastically. He couldn't bother to argue and could only resist again.
The Bagua Bronze Mirror in his hand shimmered with boundless profound Talismans, intertwining in mid-air, forming Bagua Nine Palaces. As they rotated, an ancient and Vicissitudes aura permeated out, condensing between Yin and Yang.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a divine light, black and white intertwined, shining forth from the Yin and Yang fish, meeting Lie Zhaoran’s Void Realm Hand.
The two sides collided, and in an instant, the heavens shook and the earth moved. The surrounding space couldn't bear the load, emitting cracking sounds. Dark cracks could be vaguely seen constantly appearing and disappearing, showing the terrifying power of the collision.
Logically speaking, a Sixth Revolution Pseudo-Immortal facing a Seventh Revolution Pseudo-Immortal would have no chance at all and would be easily crushed. The gap was a chasm.
But Xu Songnian was, after all, the Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, extraordinary. His Foundation was incredibly profound, and the Bagua Bronze Mirror in his hand was a top-tier divine weapon, having already reached the peak of the Half Immortal level, truly a Quasi Immortal Artifact.
Only with this could he contend with the might of a Seventh Revolution Pseudo-Immortal.
Looking at Xu Songnian and Lie Zhaoran clashing in the sky, Zhong Qing, in the Fuyun Courtyard below, looked at the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor beside him with some bewilderment.
“By the way, those two, they’re from the Shangqing Immortal Sect, right?”
