Chapter 462: The New Immortal Sect Great Battle

Half a year later, Qinyuan Sect was completely forced to return to the sect, and simultaneously, the protective mountain formation was activated.

That top-tier Third Level formation, dormant for thousands of years, was ignited for the first time. Light from the formation (Magical Light) spread across the whole mountain range.

This ancient formation probably never imagined it would one day blaze so brilliantly.

And just as Chimagong Sect members stood arrogantly before the formation, they never anticipated that in the end, they themselves would become the losers.

It was a sunny, windy day. As Chimagong Sect members mobilized nearly their entire force to storm Qinyuan Sect’s gates, their homeland—Chimagong territory—suddenly saw countless flying boats emerge.

Sailing through the sky, these flying boats moved with thunderous momentum directly toward Chimagong Sect’s headquarters.

Before Chimagong Sect members could react, the flying boats had landed within their inner grounds. They hadn’t even had time to activate their own protective mountain formation.

Emblazoned on those flying boats were the banners representing Qingshan Sect.

Qinyuan Sect bordered Qingshan Sect but was separated from Chimagong Sect by an entire region.

No one could have imagined forces from Qingshan Sect appearing in this land.

Moreover, they had concealed their movements flawlessly. By the time the enemy reached Chimagong Sect’s doorstep, its members finally realized what was happening.

Primarily, this was because Chimagong Sect had committed nearly all its forces; the cultivator guards left to defend the sect were not highly advanced, making detection difficult for them.

In any case, the attackers occupied all of Chimagong Sect with startling ease.

Even though Chimagong Sect still had Nascent Soul cultivators guarding it…

Qingshan Sect had equivalents of their own.

So unless faced with sect annihilation, beings of such stature did not intervene.

Just as Chimagong Sect had encircled Qinyuan Sect, what Qingshan Sect sought wasn’t complete dominion—they demanded reparations from Chimagong Sect instead.

When this news reached Chimagong Sect’s frontline warriors, they descended into chaos.

They never dreamed, while fighting valiantly at the front with victory nearly guaranteed… their homes no longer stood.

They had no choice but to abandon the front and scramble back home to negotiate with Qingshan Sect.

From this perspective, Chimagong Sect suffered a crushing defeat in The Great Battle.

As for the army sent by Long Yu—since Chimagong Sect retreated, there was no reason for them to remain.

Besides, given their strength, breaching Qinyuan Sect’s defenses was near impossible.

Thus ended The Great Battle with a dramatic twist.

When Zhou Luo received word, even he felt astonishment.

“What a brilliant tactic of encircling the enemy’s base to force retreat!”

He couldn’t help but admire the depth of Qinyuan Sect’s strategy.

Truthfully, the real shock came from no one anticipating Qingshan Sect’s last-minute aid to Qinyuan Sect.

Looking far back, these two sects shared one founding ancestor.

But ever since a schism over differing principles tore them apart, they had basically cut all ties.

Who knew it was all merely a ruse for outsiders’ eyes?

Because the Qingshan Sect wanted to invade the Chimagong Sect territory, it was impossible without passing through the Qinyuan Sect.

Now the overall situation had been settled, and the Qinyuan Sect’s crisis was easily resolved.

No wonder when he had wanted to seize Feng City before, the Xue Family backed by the Qingshan Sect had beaten him to it; the key point was the Qinyuan Sect showing no reaction at all.

Thinking back now, it had probably been something the Qinyuan Sect tacitly permitted at the time.

They just hadn’t made it public to avoid exposure.

Zhou Luo couldn’t help sighing about how each member of these Immortal Sects was truly cunning.

Originally, he had still planned to use this great war to elevate his influence, but now it seemed he’d been too hasty—he’d wait until he broke through to the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, the Qinyuan Sect’s overall losses weren’t severe this time, while the Chimagong Sect had suffered immense casualties.

Just as the great war between the two Immortal Sects ceased with such a dramatic outcome, another earth-shattering piece of news emerged.

The Ice Snow Sect and the Wan Gu Sect had a dispute, and disciples from both sides had begun minor clashes near the border, with the situation threatening to worsen.

"How could this be?"

At Zhou Fu, Zhou Luo looked at the anxiously distressed Hong Han and inquired.

Hong Han’s face turned ashen as he roared, "The Ice Snow Sect stubbornly claims our Wan Gu Sect is sheltering Demon Cultivators, so they insist on personally entering our sect to investigate."

Half a year earlier, Yao Wu had informed Hong Han about discovering that Ice Snow Sect disciples were Demon Cultivators.

After learning this involved Demon Cultivators, Hong Han didn’t delay at all and immediately delivered the message back to the sect.

Just when that message arrived at the Wan Gu Sect, the Ice Snow Sect simultaneously received a letter stating the Demon Cultivators originated from the Wan Gu Sect, even including evidence.

Most critically, Lü Wei, who brought that message, was gravely injured, his life hanging by a thread—it seemed beyond saving.

As for Leng Ming and others who accompanied him, their whereabouts were unknown.

After Lü Wei regained consciousness, he said the Demon Cultivators, to stop them from delivering the message back to the sect, had dispatched many Demon Cultivators to ambush them.

Disciples like Leng Ming had all perished shielding him, and he narrowly escaped back to the sect with his last ounce of strength.

Upon seeing the evidence he brought, the Ice Snow Sect flew into a rage and demanded an explanation from the Wan Gu Sect.

Having received Yao Wu’s message, the Wan Gu Sect naturally believed it was all an elaborate scheme by the Ice Snow Sect’s Demon Cultivators, even reasonably suspecting Lü Wei himself was a Demon Cultivator.

Therefore, the sect sent Master Ling An to bring Yao Wu back to the sect once, intending to have her personally identify the opponent.

Identifying a Demon Cultivator wasn’t difficult.

To prove their innocence, the Ice Snow Sect immediately prepared to screen Lü Wei.

But unexpectedly, on the night before the screening, Lü Wei was suddenly ambushed and killed by Demon Cultivators, leaving no trace of his body behind.

At the scene, the aura of Gu insects still lingered.

This thoroughly confirmed the Wan Gu Sect harbored Demon Cultivators; coupled with Lü Wei’s death and vanished body, there was utterly no way to prove whether he was truly a Demon Cultivator.

In this matter, the Wan Gu Sect explicitly declared they had no Demon Cultivators on their side.

They even personally screened Yao Wu—not just her but Zhou Luo and others too.

Naturally, every result came back normal.

Plus, at that time, the war between the two Immortal Sects was intensifying, absorbing most people’s attention.

So the incident ultimately came to nothing.

Just when everything seemed calm again, not long ago, the Cold Ice Fairy emerged from seclusion.

This fairy, already renowned across the Jinyun Continent in the past, had now completed her transformation at the Golden Core stage, fully advancing to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Crucially, the deceased Leng Ming was her nephew, with whom she shared blood ties and whom she had long treasured.

Now that her nephew was killed by Demon Cultivators while the sect, intimidated by the Wan Gu Sect’s power, dared not retaliate—

She could not tolerate it.

Especially since this involved Demon Cultivators, whom she despised most fiercely.

Thus, this Nascent Soul cultivator immediately declared she would personally go to the Wan Gu Sect to investigate thoroughly and expose the Demon Cultivator hiding within.

Past events were dug up once more.

How could the Wan Gu Sect, entirely innocent, permit her to investigate their own sect like this?

If news spread, it would be seen as a direct provocation against their sect.

Therefore, the Wan Gu Sect flatly refused.

The Cold Ice Fairy couldn’t swallow her anger, leading to these minor clashes…
