Chapter 360: Chapter 359: Establishing Authority "Hmm?" Bai Ziyue glanced towards the speaker. The man was dressed in a white Daoist robe, his face clear yet somewhat somber, and his eyes locked onto Bai Ziyue with a gaze that seemed to harbor a deep-seated vendetta. His strength wasn’t weak; he had already reached the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm. Beside him were dozens of cultivators of varying strengths. The strongest was an elder with a square face who was at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm, appearing as though he intended to intervene but was a step too late. As for the others, most were at the Qi Refinement Stage, along with five Innate Realm Martial Artists. "Who are you?" Bai Ziyue slightly raised his eyes and asked with a frown. "Is he the Kunlun Daoist? Hiss..." "Kunlun Daoist? Which one? The one who allegedly killed the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect and broke through the sect’s mountain gate?" "I recognize the speaker; he’s Immortal Master Yunfeng, the true disciple of the Grand Daoist Sect’s Sect Leader. It’s said that he has exceptional talent, and now, at only forty-nine, he’s already reached the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, with hopes of securing one of the twelve spots when the Outer Realm powerhouses descend this time. Next to him is the Third Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect, Li Xuan. It seems the Grand Daoist Sect intends to seek vengeance on the Kunlun Daoist this time?" "Revenge? Even their Grand Elder and Second Elder were no match for him, and their entire mountain gate was broken by the Kunlun Daoist. With just the two of them, how do they intend to exact revenge?" "It’s said that they’ve aligned with the Beixuan Sect..." ... There were countless cultivators present, and even a slight conflict would immediately draw a lot of attention. With Yunfeng’s loud shout, countless eyes turned toward them, and through a series of discussions, many things quickly became clear. "Half a month ago, someone spotted my master appearing around here but now has vanished without a trace. Tell me, what happened to my master?" Immortal Master Yunfeng shouted again. "And what about our Witchcraft and Gu Sect’s Peak Master Diao, who accompanied Sect Leader Zhou? Were they also killed by you?" At this moment, another group of cultivators stepped forward. Two were at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm, and three were at the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, the strongmen of the Witchcraft and Gu Sect who had descended here. Although the Witchcraft and Gu Sect wasn’t one of the Seven Great Immortal Technique Sects, their strength was profound, ranking just below the seven major sects. Five Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters appeared together, their aura overwhelming and formidable. Daoist Tuoshan, Jiang Li and Qin Meifang, along with Ma Shiming, almost immediately retreated from Bai Ziyue’s side. Apparently, they didn’t want to get involved in this mess. "Eldest Prince, Second Prince, should we act? The Seventh Prince seems to have died at the hands of this Kunlun Daoist." Not far away, an elder in armor cautiously looked toward the Eldest Prince Qiann Wudi and the Second Prince Qiann Suiyue. The two princes, one sharp and the other composed, both exuded powerful auras. This time, due to the overwhelming presence of strongmen here, they had united together. "There’s no rush. Let’s see how this unfolds first." Qiann Wudi shook his head and said. "This Kunlun Daoist isn’t weak. It’s rumored that the battle half a month ago was between the Kunlun Daoist and the Grand Daoist Sect Leader Zhou Qing, plus Diao Lengkui from the Curse Killing Lineage. Now that the Kunlun Daoist has appeared, it’s likely that the other two met a grim fate... It wouldn’t be wise to face this unknown enemy rashly." Qiann Suiyue also spoke up. "But he possesses many treasures from the Grand Daoist Sect." The elder in armor said softly. "Let’s wait a bit longer!" ... "Senior brother, this Kunlun Daoist seems to have some connection with our Sunrise Daoist Sect." Duan Xingchen cautiously looked at Xie Cangqiong and said. The matter of the Demon Ridge Ore Vein had already spread widely, and with the encounter half a month ago, he had some suspicions in his heart. "I know. However, it’s best for us to stand by and watch for now. Don’t forget, the time is almost here. At dawn, when yin and yang transform, that is the time for the Qiankun Creation Array to change. Only by seizing the opportunity during the simultaneous weakening of yin and yang in the array change can we smoothly enter and avoid triggering the array’s backlash attack." Xie Cangqiong said calmly. ... More people were eager to act. Bai Ziyue was known as the most fearsome figure of late, and the destruction of the entire Grand Daoist Sect had cemented his supreme reputation. But equally, many coveted the treasures he had seized from the Grand Daoist Sect. It was just that, limited by his strength, none dared to act recklessly at the moment. "In life, the most important thing is self-awareness. I never intended to cause you trouble, so why do you seek to suffer needlessly? It seems I’ve overestimated your intelligence." Bai Ziyue shook his head and sighed lightly. Raising his hand, a flying sword swiftly shot out from his body. Some things, you either don’t do them, or you do them thoroughly. He had learned this lesson. The vague greed around him also made him realize that he needed to establish his authority at this moment. Past renown was just a name; without real, demonstrable strength, people would take you lightly, which could lead to big trouble. Killing to establish authority was the most appropriate method at this time. "Daoist Huoyun, I have agreed to your terms. Our Grand Daoist Sect formally joins the Beixuan Sect, and I will fight for the Beixuan Sect to secure one of the twelve spots and obtain the Divine Pill. Please, Daoist Huoyun, and all the senior brothers from the Beixuan Sect, assist in capturing this man." Yunfeng shouted fiercely, his figure retreating quickly. Already prepared, he unleashed his Immortal Martial True Body and Immortal Martial Glowing Light. An oval-shaped shield charged straight out of his body, transforming into a giant circular barrier, shielding him from behind. The Beixuan Sect and Daoist Huoyun were his true confidence in facing Bai Ziyue directly. Especially Daoist Huoyun, who had just acted swiftly, like a rabbit leaping or a magpie rising, instantly killing a late-stage Enlightenment Realm Barbarian Country Cultivator, showing his unmatched power. He believed that capturing Bai Ziyue would likewise pose no issue. Not to mention, there were many strongmen from the Beixuan Sect. And the Witchcraft and Gu Sect was an unexpected delight. "Is this your courage? But you won’t have the chance to see it." Bai Ziyue shook his head, the Spell-Dodging Divine Sword transformed into a stream of light. The sword seemed to embody an unstoppable sharpness that could destroy everything in its path. Boom! The Spell-Dodging Divine Sword landed directly on the shield armor, effortlessly piercing through the middle-grade defensive spiritual artifact, then continued onward, shattering the Immortal Martial Glowing Light once more. As if destroying dry weeds, it tore through layers of obstacles. Puff! The sound of flesh being pierced echoed. Yunfeng’s body fell to the ground like a rag. Dead! Immediately, the scene fell into silence. Yunfeng, the genius from the Grand Daoist Sect with the potential to secure one of the twelve spots, was dead? Wasn’t that too fast? Even Daoist Huoyun, who had planned to intervene, hesitated at this moment, somewhat shocked and uncertain. Since he had decided to intervene, Bai Ziyue had no hesitation. A hand reached out, transforming into a gigantic hand. Like a towering giant peak descending, the void made a series of rumbling sounds under the pressure. "Quickly... "This palm... "No..." The overwhelming palm print descended, almost covering all five Immortal Masters of the Witchcraft and Gu Sect. Under the pressure of the palm print, the void froze, Heaven and Earth Seal surrounded them, leaving no way out, and they hastily unleashed all their techniques. *But in their hearts, waves of despair washed over them.* *This palm was too strong.* *It felt as if they were facing a presence of the Divine Realm.* "Block it!" They dared not hold anything back, unleashing spiritual artifacts, magic, talismans in full force. Boom! Boom! Boom! Spirit light raged, the void roared. Various magic spells, talismans, and flying sword attacks landed on the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, causing the entire sky to shine brilliantly. "It’s only futile struggling!" Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged, Immortal Martial Primordial Power continuously flowed into his palm. Instantly, the slightly stagnant palm print quickly pressed down. Bang! Bang! Bang! Immediately, the sound of spiritual energy extinguishing and flying swords breaking resounded. With its residual power unabated, the palm print crashed down! Puff! Puff! Puff! Nearly in an instant, the spirit lights of three people shattered, their bodies crumbled, and they perished. "No..." The two remaining late-stage Enlightenment Realm strong cultivators, pouring all their efforts and primordial power into their respective defensive treasures, couldn’t prevent the rapid depletion, which faded swiftly. It was only a matter of time before they were overwhelmed. *Why did they provoke this disaster star?*" *A surge of indescribable despair and regret emerged in their hearts.* "Stop!" At that moment, Daoist Huoyun finally intervened. Though extremely reluctant, in the instant Yunfeng uttered that sentence, as the Grand Elder of the Beixuan Sect, he had to act. A beam of green light transformed into a stream, quickly charging forward. Divine Technique, Small Spirit-Banning Technique! Zzzzzz! The green light fell on the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, and Bai Ziyue immediately felt his connection with it being sealed off and severed. Then, the originally solid Immortal Martial Hand Seal, without Bai Ziyue’s guidance, quickly dissipated into spirit light, vanishing. "Many thanks to Daoist Huoyun!" The two late-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters from the Witchcraft and Gu Sect were ecstatic and hurriedly flew away. Faced with Bai Ziyue, they were truly terrified. They dared not approach at all. *Bai Ziyue’s heart pounded, silently acknowledging the power of divine techniques, yet his eyes remained calm.* He reached for his waist. A fiery red gourd swelled as it emerged into the wind. Bang! Bang! Bang! ... Streams of sword lights rapidly shot out. The sky filled with sword shadows, shattering the void, transforming into a massive wave, sweeping across. "Ah..." "No..." The two Immortal Masters from the Witchcraft and Gu Sect, who had just narrowly escaped death and whose faces were still lit with joy, fell back into despair. Their already damaged and dim defensive spiritual artifacts were torn apart by the sword lights. Amidst the sounds of slashing, they were instantly reduced to a mass of flesh. Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, Sword Storage Gourd! Although the Sword Storage Gourd was merely top-grade spiritual artifact, it required continuous infusion of sword Qi, and possessed only one strike capability, yet when the sword Qi was fully charged, its power was no less than the full-force strike of a Peak of Enlightenment Realm Cultivator. They were already exhausted; how could they resist?
