Chapter 337: Revised: Chapter 336 Counterattack, Must Counterattack "Before this, I never thought that the Grand Daoist Sect would move en masse to this place. But what I said is absolutely true... because their bodies are still scattered across the battlefield, untouched." As she spoke, Fairy Caiyun gestured slightly. Soon, everyone saw the bodies scattered across the battlefield. "It really is Xu Chaofan, his body intact. Was his soul completely extinguished? And this one, it should be Guo Zhengchun, pierced through the skull with a single sword. What kind of Immortal Swordsmanship could penetrate the Immortal Martial Glowing Light of the Grand Daoist Sect and slay him? The rest of them were struck down by Thunder Skill, some to the point that their bodies are almost unrecognizable..." Everyone exchanged glances, their hearts filled with dread and a chilling sensation. "Who was it that acted?" Immortal Master Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask. "Among the powerful ones in the Demon Ridge Ore Vein at the Enlightenment Realm, besides a few of us, there’s only Fang Ping of the Grand Daoist Sect, and Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming of the Sunrise Daoist Sect. However, they are only at the early to mid-stage of the Enlightenment Realm in Immortal Technique, achieving this would be absolutely impossible. Moreover, they aren’t skilled in Thunder Skill." Immortal Master Qian from the Kunwu Sword Sect spoke up to analyze. "It can’t be them; Fang Ping is already dead. Also, Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming are dead too. Besides them, another elite disciple from the Sunrise Daoist Sect has also arrived at the Demon Ridge Ore Vein recently. But he, too, is dead. Killed not far from the battlefield, seemingly before this earth-shattering battle." Daochen Hermit shook his head and said. "There’s only one person still alive." Fairy Caiyun immediately followed up. "Who?" A disciple of the Beixuan Sect next to Lin Chen hurriedly asked. "Bai Ziyue." As she said this, Fairy Caiyun carefully looked in the direction of the Inspectorate of the Spirit Stone Ore Vein before continuing, "I asked the steward here, and they said that before this great battle, the area was shrouded in an array. Their Inspector, Bai Ziyue, soared into the sky, entered the battlefield, and finally returned alone..." "Impossible. When Bai Ziyue just arrived, we inquired about his background; he had just recently broken through to the early stage of the Enlightenment Realm. In such a battle, let alone making an impact, even the magic reaching him could take his life." Lin Chen quickly dismissed the notion. Being one of the Seven Great Immortal Technique Sects, and given the ongoing entanglements between Beixuan Sect and the Sunrise Daoist Sect, he naturally had some understanding of Bai Ziyue. It was precisely for this reason that, considering the distance between the Beixuan Sect’s ore vein and this place, he hadn’t paid much attention here. "But it was exactly this person you mentioned who single-handedly crushed the combined efforts of Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming, and then ventured alone into the Grand Daoist Sect’s Mining Bureau, where Fang Ping was brutally slain. The strength of Immortal Master Fang Ping was not inferior to yours or mine." At that moment, the previously silent Immortal Master Wan spoke. Being not far from this place, he was well aware of Bai Ziyue’s achievements. He knew that this person was anything but simple. "Things have become quite clear now. Immortal Master Bai killed Fang Ping of the Grand Daoist Sect, so the seven Immortal Masters of the Grand Daoist Sect came together to seek revenge. The result was the four Immortal Masters of the Sunrise Daoist Sect jointly fought back, resulting in three deaths and one survivor, while the Grand Daoist Sect was completely wiped out..." Daochen Hermit concluded. "Absurd! We are well aware of Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming’s strength, and that elite disciple of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, Lonely Drunk, at best was equivalent to the late-stage of the Enlightenment Realm in Immortal Technique. The five Immortal Masters of the Grand Daoist Sect would be more than enough to crush them." Immortal Master Qian couldn’t help but refute, "Even if I acknowledge that Bai Ziyue’s strength is not weak, possibly even above that of Lonely Drunk. But Xu Chaofan, Guo Zhengchun, these two, truly could a person who has just recently broken through to the Enlightenment Realm handle them? In our sects, how many can claim they could steadily defeat those two? And even so, does the Grand Daoist Sect need to deploy so many powerful individuals just for revenge on Fang Ping?" "Frankly, proving this isn’t complicated. All we need to do is to ask Immortal Master Bai, and it will be clear, won’t it?" Fairy Caiyun suggested. But no one made a move. Ask him? If it really was he who killed them, what if he turns hostile? Even so many strong individuals of the Grand Daoist Sect have died at his hands; would they, the strongest of whom are only at the mid-stage of the Enlightenment Realm, stand a chance? Numerical advantage? They did have seven or eight Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters. But the corpses of the seven grandmasters of the Grand Daoist Sect were still fresh in their minds. So, no one dared to act. Thus, they all concluded together that Bai Ziyue was definitely not simple, and his strength perhaps truly exceeded their imaginations. Of course, the one who really killed the two peak-level experts of the Enlightenment Realm from the Grand Daoist Sect should be someone else... But who exactly? They expressed that they neither wanted to pursue the matter further, nor dared to investigate. Everything, naturally, had to be handled by the Grand Daoist Sect themselves. "This wave is over, the Grand Daoist Sect is finished." "It’s not necessarily over, after all, the Grand Daoist Sect has been established for more than two hundred years and has a certain foundation. Plus, they still have the Sect Leader Zhou Qing and a dozen Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters. Even though they’ve suffered a great blow this time, there’s still a chance they could pull through." "How do you know that the ones who attacked won’t make a move against the Grand Daoist Sect? Being able to kill Xu Chaofan and Guo Zhengchun, two peak Enlightenment Realm experts in a direct confrontation, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill Zhou Qing either, should it?" Instantly, everyone’s expression changed. "Fellow Daoists, I’ve suddenly remembered something I haven’t had time to handle, so I’ll take my leave now." Lin Chen took a deep breath, greeted Fairy Caiyun and others, and didn’t dare to stay in such a place any longer. No matter the cause or who was responsible for this battle, he had already decided to observe a period of time from the sidelines. As for the Sunrise Daoist Sect, and Bai Ziyue, he planned to stay away from them for a while. "I also have some matters... I’ll see you later." "I might need to go into seclusion for a while, so I’ll head back to prepare." ... Fairy Caiyun, Immortal Master Qian, and others were also alarmed, repeatedly saying they’ll take their leave. They unanimously decided in their hearts not to provoke Bai Ziyue and not to get involved in any matters related to this. ... "Soul energy: 3,713,295!" Bai Ziyue glanced at the attribute panel, feeling unsurprised. In this battle, a total of ten Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters had died, including two peak Enlightenment Realm experts. If he hadn’t used soul energy continuously to restore primordial power, the soul energy quantity might have exceeded four million points. "Thus, I can increase the number of acupoint ignitions once more." He had planned to reserve soul energy to deal with the Grand Daoist Sect’s attack, planning for the long run. Now that the battle was over, naturally, his priority was improving his strength. With this thought, he no longer hesitated. "Spend 3,000,000 points of soul energy, capable of igniting 100 acupoints!" "Ignite!" Bai Ziyue chose to ignite without hesitation. As soul energy decreased drastically, his body shook intensely. Very quickly, one hundred acupoints ignited once again. Now, he had ignited a total of three hundred acupoints, leaving only sixty-nine acupoints before he could cultivate the Purple Qi Divine Observation Skill Opening Chapter to perfection, reaching the peak of the Enlightenment Realm. As for his soul energy quantity, it was reduced to 713,295 points. This amount of soul energy wasn’t too much nor too little, he thought it over and decided to save it for emergency situations. ... This battle couldn’t be hidden. The Grand Daoist Sect’s seven Immortal Masters had all died, and the Sunrise Daoist Sect had two Inspectors and one newly appointed Inspector General fall, which would surely be spread out. So, Bai Ziyue, the next day, handed over a Jade Scroll Eye, recording the general events, to Zhangg Hansheng at the Ministry of Mines, instructing him to send it back to the mountain gate. Of course, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Ziyue emphasized the roles of Lonely Drunk, Wu Zonghui, and Wang Ming in the Jade Scroll Eye, while attempting to exclude himself. However, he also knew that the sect members wouldn’t believe that the four of them alone could kill the Grand Daoist Sect’s seven Immortal Masters, including two peak-level Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters. Therefore, to increase persuasiveness, he concocted a mysterious powerful figure, attributing the main achievements to this figure. Somehow, it matched the ’speculation’ made by Fairy Caiyun, Lin Chen, and others earlier... In short, he cautiously described himself almost as a transparent person. Whether others believed it or not, he himself believed it. Then, he turned his attention to the three major ore veins. According to the usual practices of major mining areas, disturbances often arose during such upheavals when the ore veins were leaderless, often due to interference by other sects. In past years, there were even cases of ore veins changing ownership because of this. As Bai Ziyue was responsible, he had already prepared to suppress the disturbances. The result was peace! Everyone behaved extremely well. Not only was there no chaos, but miners diligently worked in the ore veins, with output increasing by several folds compared to usual. After inspecting for two days and seeing that the three major ore veins were well-managed by various stewards without needing much care from him, Bai Ziyue finally could not resist and decided to make a proactive move. "Weakness is original sin. I only wanted to cultivate steadily, enhancing my strength step by step, without wishing to make enemies with anyone. Yet, just because I revealed the Immortal Martial Great Hand Seal, I was targeted by the Grand Daoist Sect. First, it was the Sect Leader Zhou Qing, who acted personally. Then, this time, the Grand Daoist Sect’s seven Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters encircled me. If you keep on like this, do you truly think I’m weak and easy to bully? Since it’s become an endless battle, this time, let’s end this vendetta once and for all. As long as the Grand Daoist Sect is gone, completely obliterated, naturally all threats will be eliminated." Bai Ziyue reviewed the events, *his anger surged within his heart*. *He must strike back, retaliate!*
