He has to thank us!

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor quickly nodded respectfully upon hearing this.

"Revered Master, it seems so. Perhaps it's because we captured that Ninth Elder before, so they've come for revenge."

Zhong Qing frowned, "Wasn't that guy locked in the dungeon? How did he tip them off?"

"Never mind, that's not important. The question is, how did this Yuhua Immortal Sect get involved with them and start fighting?"

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor didn't really understand the whole situation, so he just shrugged.

"Who knows? Maybe he's just kind-hearted."

"Is that so?" Zhong Qing nodded, feeling a bit emotional. "Helping out in a fight the first time we meet, this person is quite good."

"Yes, yes!"

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, who was usually fierce and awe-inspiring in front of outsiders, now appeared docile in front of Zhong Qing, nodding like a pecking chick.

"Good talent, good person."

Zhong Qing stroked his chin and murmured.

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor knew at a glance that his Revered Master must have had the idea of taking on a disciple again.

"Revered Master, do you want to take on a disciple? But he's the Young Sect Master of one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, so it might not be easy for him to become a disciple."

Zhong Qing waved his hand, "No big deal. Let's deal with these two first."

If they were outside, sensing the terrifying aura of the two people in the sky, the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor would have surely run as far as he could.

But in front of his Revered Master, the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor had no qualms.

His eyes darted around, and he directly flew up.

"Revered Master, I'll go help him!"

As his voice fell, he pulled out a long saber entwined with a golden Dragon, its body crystal clear as if made of crystal, and charged directly towards Lie Zhaoran in the sky.

"You dog, take a saber from this Old Ancestor!"

The moment the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor took flight, Lie Zhaoran in the sky noticed him.

However, he didn't take it seriously; instead, he sneered with disdain.

Xu Songnian was one thing; even as a Six-Turn Pseudo-Immortal, as the Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, he had the qualifications to fight him.

But you, a mere Four-Turn Pseudo-Immortal, an ant-like existence, dare to join the fun?

Therefore, he didn't take it seriously at all, just waiting for the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor to charge up, then casually slapped him away.

In his opinion, crushing a Four-Turn Pseudo-Immortal wouldn't require much effort at all.

However, the next moment, when the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor struck with his saber, the incomparably sharp edge instantly pierced through heaven and earth, sweeping towards him. Before the saber light even arrived, his face already felt a stinging pain.

"What? A Quasi-Immortal Artifact?"

The highest-grade Half-Immortal Divine Weapons are called Quasi-Immortal Artifacts.

Even among forces of the Four Great Immortal Sects' caliber, there aren't many Magic Treasures of this level; only figures like the Sect Master and Grand Elder are qualified to possess them.

Even he, as Fifth Elder, was still a bit short.

The Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror in Xu Songnian's hand was also a Magic Treasure of this level.

But who was Xu Songnian? He was Xu Qianfeng's only son, the Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Now this old man who just rushed up, with a mere Four-Turn cultivation, who would be considered weak even among the Shangqing Immortal Sect's deacons and Protectors, actually held one?

When did the Yuhua Immortal Sect become so extravagant?

There was no time to think further; the saber light was now at arm's length. Lie Zhaoran could only hastily dodge.

The saber edge grazed his cheek by a hair's breadth, leaving a streak of blood.

Lie Zhaoran barely dodged the saber and retreated several hundred miles before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even as a Seven-Turn Pseudo-Immortal, he dared not use his Physical Body to directly withstand the attack of a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

His dodge immediately relaxed his offensive, allowing Xu Songnian, who had just been contending with Lie Zhaoran's attack, to catch his breath.

He flew to the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor's side, not forgetting to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

The Blood Corpse Old Ancestor couldn't help but give him another look.

Why is this Young Sect Master so good? He helps us fight, and then he has to thank us?

Xu Songnian, however, was filled with indignation.

"Both of you, even if you are from the Shangqing Immortal Sect, you shouldn't attack so indiscriminately. Do you think my Yuhua Immortal Sect is easy to bully?"

Leaving aside whether this is a misunderstanding, even if there was a real reason for it, I am still the Young Sect Master of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. You immediately went for a killing blow, truly showing no regard for me.

Lie Zhaoran sneered, "Keep pretending, will you? The Yuhua Immortal Sect really went all out, even willing to part with a Quasi-Immortal Artifact. Good, it just so happens that this Elder is still missing a suitable Quasi-Immortal Artifact. I didn't expect you to deliver one today."

In his opinion, how could the Blood Corpse Old Ancestor, a mere Four-Turn Pseudo-Immortal, be qualified to possess a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?

Looking across the Second Heaven, apart from the Four Great Immortal Sects, even the Nine Clouds Sect, hailed as the strongest outside the Four Great Immortal Sects, didn't have many Magic Treasures of this level.

Needless to say, it must have been bestowed by the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Not only did they send out their own Young Sect Master, but they also brought two Quasi-Immortal Artifacts. The Yuhua Immortal Sect truly spared no expense to seize their Shangqing Immortal Sect's Luck!

Thinking about how they were previously schemed against, not only losing the Heaven and Earth Xuan Jian but also losing Ninth Elder Deng Zhong, the already short-tempered Lie Zhaoran's anger surged even more. His aura expanded and soared, and an incomparably terrifying oppressive force instantly enveloped the entire heaven and earth.

For a time, countless strong cultivators from various Sects and forces within the entire Spiritual Land felt this terrifying aura, turning pale with shock.

"What terrifying pressure... This kind of pressure..."

Lie Zhaoran's killing intent was boiling at this moment, but Wei Jianglei, who was beside him, spoke again.

"Be careful with your moves. It would be fine if it were anyone else, but since it's Xu Songnian, you cannot kill him."

Lie Zhaoran snorted coldly, "Before we came, didn't the Sect Master say that there were no people from the Yuhua Immortal Sect here at all, only thieves from the Liuguang Sect who were trying to seize our Shangqing Immortal Sect's treasures?"

"No matter if he's Xu Songnian or whoever, kill them all without mercy."

Wei Jianglei shook his head, "Before coming, the Sect Master probably didn't expect that Xu Qianfeng would actually be willing to send Xu Songnian out."

"Even if it were other Elders from the Yuhua Immortal Sect here, killing them would be fine."

"But this child is Xu Qianfeng's only son. If he dies here, regardless of whether there's evidence or not, Xu Qianfeng will probably go mad."

Lie Zhaoran's eyes flickered, and he coldly snorted, "Then break his limbs!"

Wei Jianglei held a communication Talisman in his hand and said indifferently, "Don't rush. When you two were just fighting, this Protector already sent a message to the Sect Master's side. I presume there will be a reply soon."

As soon as his voice fell, the communication Talisman lit up.

Wei Jianglei swept his Divine Thought across it, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"The Sect Master has given an order."

"Annihilate the Liuguang Sect, take Xu Songnian away, and use him to threaten the Yuhua Immortal Sect."

He did not conceal his voice, and this last sentence also spread far and wide.

On the other side, Xu Songnian was immediately shocked and enraged upon hearing this.

Goodness, you Shangqing Immortal Sect, you are truly arrogant to the extreme.

You inexplicably accuse my Yuhua Immortal Sect of trying to seize your Luck, and now you even want to capture this Young Sect Master to threaten the Yuhua Immortal Sect?

Even a clay figure has three parts of anger; this is truly unbearable.

How can I, Xu Songnian, allow you to manipulate me?
