Shangyuque

Chapter 179 All Spirits Annihilated, the Milky Way Reversed, Complete Collapse, the Savage Elephant Makes His Move, and the Stone Ancestor Appears.

The two major battles are centered on the central line.

With a gentle breeze and bright sunshine, it's the perfect day for a spring outing.

Of course, it's also a good day to officially begin the decisive battle.

The idea of ​​using the weather to gain an advantage is not that important in a major battle.

If a leader of a power pins his hopes on favorable weather, he is underestimating his opponents.

Of course, some weak opponents are indeed not worthy of respect, but the Red Light Police are not some small, roadside gang.

Gua Zhenren specifically chose such an auspicious day to make his move, so that after he successfully led his team to break through the Red Lantern's central defensive perimeter, the Heavenly Serpent Sect's reinforcements could quickly fill the gap.

About three hundred miles from the front line of the central battlefield, on the side of the Heavenly Serpent Sect, Master Gua sat on the stamen of a sunflower.

Beside it, a group of senior Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Heavenly Serpent Sect stood obediently with their hands at their sides.

Suddenly, a few small green leaves drifted by in the wind and were swallowed by Gua Zhenren.

After confirming that the situation at the Red Light Fang front line was no different from usual, Gu Zhenren said to Gu Shen Qingyuan beside him.

"Qingyuan, proceed according to plan. Have the disciples at the front retreat back into the formation and be on high alert."

My supernatural power is an indiscriminate attack. Although I can control its direction, even the aftershocks are something a Qi Refining cultivator can't withstand.

Those few green leaves were transformed from Gua Zhenren's natal magic weapon, and they had already completed the investigation for him.

Gua Zhenren is very meticulous. He is a key subordinate of the Frog King, one of the two demon gods of the Heavenly Serpent Sect. Now that he has taken over the actual position of the Heavenly Serpent Sect in charge of the great war between the two sects, he naturally has to control the details as much as possible.

Although those Qi cultivation materials are actually consumables, and can be cultivated in almost unlimited quantities with a little effort, the quantity of consumables is limited in a relatively short time scale.

In short, we should save where we can and burn where we can; we cannot waste.

"These 'real people' are nothing more than Qi cultivators. Once they all die, we can recruit and repair them."

But if the battle lines suddenly contract and the authorities discover something's wrong, things will get complicated.

In terms of their immoral behavior, the key figures in all major sects share a striking consistency.

Yi Zouri, who had never met Wang Yulou before, repeatedly targeted Wang Yulou, both openly and secretly, using methods that were utterly unscrupulous.

Gu Shen Qingyuan was similar. As the sect leader, he served the interests of the sect's senior cultivators, so he didn't care at all whether the lower-level Qi cultivators on the front lines died or not.

The mundane morality and the established norms built by short-lived species are meaningless to these core foundation builders of powerful forces who aspire to attain enlightenment. They only strive for their own path to enlightenment, and everything else takes a backseat.

Although it is impossible for the Valley God family to produce a third Purple Mansion, this does not affect Valley God Qingyuan's continued loyalty to the sect and his awe of the sect's controllers.

As he himself said—what if?
What if the problem is discovered by a red light?

no.

It is 'In case there is a chance to achieve enlightenment, I must dedicate myself to the sect!'
However, faced with Gu Shen Qingyuan's devotion to the sect, Gua Zhenren's two peanut-sized eyes turned to Gu Shen Qingyuan.

Gu Shenqingyuan shuddered and quickly said.

"It was Qingyuan's oversight. Qingyuan will make the arrangements now!"

Often, your loyalty is worthless.
-
Wang Jingyi and Yan Keyi sat facing each other without saying a word.

They are waiting for Master Xuanzhuan's opinion on how to handle the situation.

They were certain that Xuan Zhuan would rise to prominence, not because of Wang Yulou's status or importance, but simply because Lian Chengxian represented the power of the Immortal Alliance.

If Lian Chengxian's actions are taken on a higher level, it would be that Lotus Immortal City interfered in the great war between the two sects, and that he was biased towards the Heavenly Serpent Sect, thus disrupting the Red Lantern Clan.

In such a situation, how to respond and to what extent is not something that Wang Jingyi or Yan Keyi can decide.

"Junior Sister Jingyi, come, have some tea."

Yan Keyi was in a good mood, but he still pretended to look heavy and anxious.

While the cultivators on the front lines yearn for immortality but face certain death, the cultivators guarding the pass are busy brewing tea.

This was a war of the Red Lanterns, and also a war of the Mangxiang, but those who went forward to die were neither the direct descendants of the Red Lanterns nor the direct descendants of the Mangxiang.

If it can't be used to transfer costs, then why do high-ranking monks even establish organizations?

After waiting for a long time without receiving the decree from Master Xuanzhuan, Ancestor Jingyi stood up with a heavy heart and said.

"I'm not drinking anymore. I'm going back to the southern route. I hope you'll let me and Yulou know when there's any news."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Junior Sister, go ahead without worry."

Seeing that Wang Jingyi was finally about to leave, Yan Keyi quickly got up to see her off.

Once it was confirmed that Wang Jingyi had completely left Zhongxian Town, Lao Yan could no longer keep a straight face.

"When people are happy, they are in high spirits~ Hahaha, if you won't drink, I will!"

Now, Wang Yulou is in trouble, standing on the front line of the struggle between the Mangxiang lineage and other forces within the sect.

How could Yan Keyi not be happy in this situation?
-
Wangjiashan.

Crane Elder, who was picked up from Qingxifang and taken back to his ancestral home, landed in the center of Shaluyuan.

Wang Rongsheng hadn't returned to his ancestral home for a long time. Looking at the silly donkeys galloping on the Silly Donkey Plain, smelling the faint smell of donkey dung in the air, and the fragrant scent of flowers, grass and trees, he felt refreshed and relaxed.

However, Wang Rongsheng felt a pang of sadness when he thought about how the old clan chief had suddenly transferred him back to the clan's territory, without knowing why.

Are we going to the front lines?

"Fourth Brother, you've arrived."

When Wang Rongjiang, the current clan leader of the Wang clan, saw Wang Rongsheng arrive, he hurriedly came down from the treehouse to greet him.

His cultivation level was higher than Wang Rongsheng's, but Wang Rongsheng, with his four spiritual roots, had already cultivated to this point, which was quite impressive and inspiring for a high-level Qi Refining cultivator.

As the newly appointed clan leader, Wang Rongjiang had to respect those Qi cultivators who had long contributed to the clan.

In addition, there is the factor of their being of the same generation. Wang Rongsheng is now over 120 years old, older than Wang Rongjiang, and ranks fourth in the Rong generation, so Wang Rongjiang calls him Fourth Brother.

"Rongjiang."

After chatting for a while, Wang Rongjiang finally revealed the clan's arrangements for Wang Rongsheng.

"That's the situation. The sect won't be defeated, but the Wang family and the ancestor can no longer be separated. If something unexpected happens, the existence of the branch can play a role in continuing the family line."

Wang Rongsheng didn't answer immediately, but subconsciously turned his head to look at those silly donkeys.

The Immortal Venerable sits high on the Immortal Platform, suppressing all cultivators in the world. The Patriarch, with a single thought, turned to the Dao. How can the Wang family continue to exist?

Is it really possible to escape?
Yu Lou, in the Western Sea, joined forces with Meng Bai, a deacon of the Immortal Alliance, to cleanse the poisonous influence of the Divine Light, resulting in the deaths of many people.

This is the normal outcome of a battle or contest between great cultivators.

During that great purge, Wang Rongsheng did not believe that splitting off a branch of the family would allow them to avoid it.

“I understand. Take twenty people to Fulong Temple and then build a foundation.”

After establishing the foundation, help Hongmei establish her foundation, so that the branch lineage can be established.

Rongjiang, I will do my best, but to be honest, I'm not very confident.

Wang Rongsheng is not afraid of his family adding burdens to his life. Given the kindness his family has shown him, he is willing to go to the battlefield for them.

However, having the will and being able to do it well are two different things. Wang Rongsheng was afraid that he would not be able to be a good clan leader of the Wang family of Fulong Temple.

"Don't worry, I will select many good people for you from among the twenty. They are all skilled and have auxiliary techniques to rely on."

Moreover, the clan will support you with two sets of Foundation Establishment resources. In fact, we should thank Yu Lou for this.

He is now a steward of the Hall of Special Merits. With the Hall of Special Merits in place, the clan's future income will be greatly increased, and their resources for cultivation will be much more abundant.

Wang Rongjiang was somewhat moved.

In the world of cultivation, an extraordinary prodigy can have a tremendous impact.

Wang Yulou only took a small step in the power struggle within the Red Lantern Society, but the benefits he brought to the Wang family have already exceeded the combined benefits of Wang Jingyi and Wang Xianmao.

Strength and share of benefits are not always directly proportional. The two patriarchs were certainly stronger than Wang Yulou, but their future prospects were not as high as Wang Yulou's.

Wang Jingyi may become a Purple Mansion, but she can't just shout, "I have the potential to become a Purple Mansion, so I can do this and that." Right now, the most important thing for her is to keep a low profile and cultivate herself, steadily enjoying the blessings given to her by her ancestor.

Deeply involved in the power struggles within the sect is dangerous, but it can indeed bring benefits that the Wang family never dared to dream of before.

"It is a blessing for the Wang family that Yulou was born into our family."

Wang Rongsheng was somewhat moved.

When he first met Wang Yulou, Wang Yulou was just a young man. From a little boy in Wolongfang to the core person in charge of the Red Lanterns on the front line of the two sects' great war, Wang Yulou had already shouldered the responsibility of his family.

As fellow cultivators, Wang Rongsheng even felt a little jealous of this junior in his clan. Of course, this jealousy was not malicious; it was just that compared to Wang Yulou, he always felt somewhat lost.

Cultivation is simple, but reaching a higher level is difficult. Having achieved the Foundation Establishment stage at an age of over 120, do I really have the opportunity to go further?
-
The northern garrison guards the pass.

Kong Gu held Wang Yulou's hand tightly, and Wang Yulou tried to break free several times but failed.

Of course, it wasn't that Kong Gu had any ill intentions towards Wang Yulou; he simply hoped that Wang Yulou wouldn't leave with Lin Ying.

Kong Gu is a smart person, the kind of smart person who is extremely smart.

Lin Ying was almost taken away and even killed by Lian Chengxian on his territory. If Wang Yulou had taken Lin Ying away afterward, his relationship with Wang Yulou would have ended.

Although people like them often use relationships to serve their own interests, Wang Yulou's potential is so great that Kong Gu is reluctant to completely turn their relationship into a purely transactional one.

“Fellow Daoist Yuque, Junior Sister Lin doesn’t need to leave at all. I will give her my mansion that guards the pass, and let her live in the center of the great formation.”

As you know, that great formation can only hold out for a short while, even if a Purple Mansion arrives. In that short time, they can wait for the sect's True Person to provide support.

Junior Sister Lin is absolutely safe cultivating there; no more accidents will occur.

Even if a mere mansion were to disappear, it would not affect Konggu's authority on the northern front.

Miaofeng Mountain and Gushen Sect have been fighting for nearly twenty years and have developed a stable wartime internal governance framework. Konggu does not need to face the pressures and troubles that Wang Yulou encountered.

Of course, this might also be because Miaofeng Mountain Temple is small, and the three masters do not want internal strife to affect the overall interests of the sect—they can afford the loss, but it's not worth it.

The Red Lanterns are different; they are too powerful. Even if they lose one battle or two, the Candlelight Immortal Venerable will still sit firmly on the Immortal Platform.

“No need. I need to take her back to the sect. The Immortal Alliance is interfering in the war between the two sects and directly targeting our Red Lantern Sect disciples. We must deal with this matter as soon as possible.”

Lin Ying is now also an inner disciple of the Red Lantern Cult.

As Mang Xiang prepared to attain enlightenment, Wang Yulou began to ascend to heaven along with him. His Daoist companions, as the tentacles through which he built his own power, naturally rose in status as well.

"That's true, I didn't think it through."

Faced with Wang Yulou's irrefutable reasons, Kongshan could no longer hold onto Wang Yulou.

After watching Wang Yulou ride away on a black dragon horse with Lin Ying in his arms, accompanied by a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, Kong Gu glared hatefully in the direction where Lian Chengxian had been taken away by the Immortal Alliance.

You idiot, if you had any brains at all, you wouldn't have dug such a huge hole for me!
-
Although they were to return to the sect with their senior sister, Ancestor Jingyi and Yan Keyi were both guarding the pass in the middle line.

In fact, Wang Yulou had to make a trip back to the central route.

The reason why Ancestor Jingyi and Yan Keyi did not appear at the scene of the incident was to control the intensity of the conflict, which was personally instructed by Wang Yulou.

If we could take down Lien Sung-hsien on the spot, that would be the best outcome.

If the situation becomes too complicated, it's not too late to have Yan Keyi and Wang Jingyi step in.

Lian Chengxian does indeed have a good surname. Although Wang Yulou is a disciple of the Mangxiang lineage, he cannot misuse the resources and power of the Mangxiang lineage, especially when facing Lian Chengxian.

If the Mangxiang faction rushes forward too early, and Lian Chengxian makes a move with a whole scheme behind it, then Wang Yulou will have squandered the faction's initiative.

These things may sound complicated, but they are actually the 'real network of interests'. No matter how complicated they are, Wang Yulou must try his best to understand and abide by them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

Wang Yulou's ability to stand firm in such a fierce vortex is undoubtedly remarkable.

The fact that he deliberately crippled Lian Chengxian and handed over chips to his opponent is something many people can never understand in their entire lives.

Results-oriented is just a superficial statement; the real expertise lies in the practical methods of process control.

Of course, Wang Yulou respected cultivators who liked to win their lives through combat and absolute strength. He respected them greatly and wanted to become such a cultivator.

However, the situation he faced was somewhat special. For some reason, the high-level cultivators in this world did not like to pass on their teachings, and the teachings they did pass on were dead-end methods, which would allow you to cultivate for hundreds of years, only to end up as someone else's food in the end.

What's most infuriating is that they also joined forces to build so many top-tier forces, controlling the vast majority of the land in the world that can generate resources for cultivation, and using countless rules to restrict those who want to achieve enlightenment after them.

Sometimes, Wang Yulou really wanted to curse them out—you guys are utterly despicable.

However, if you want to change reality, an inevitable step is to accept a part of reality.

Despite his hatred and dissatisfaction, Wang Yulou had ultimately reached a crucial position in this beastly system, and he needed to continue on that path.

"Husband, why is Lian Chengxian targeting me, or rather, why is the person behind him keeping an eye on me?"

Lin Ying's question interrupted Wang Yulou's reverie, and he answered somewhat uncertainly.

Three possibilities.

The first possibility is that Lian Chengxian's actions were merely a trigger, and there are many other hidden forces at play. This is the most terrifying possibility: a certain Immortal Venerable from Lotus Immortal City may have truly chosen sides.

Wang Yulou is still unsure whether Lianpeng and Qingrui are the same person. If they are not, then Lian Chengxian was likely tricked by Qingrui and sent to set a trap for Immortal Venerable Lianpeng.

Lianpeng sided with Tianshe, and Qingrui sided with Mangxiang. This possibility aligns with a part of the truth that Wang Yulou witnessed—Qingrui and Mangxiang joined forces to suppress Shenguang in the Western Sea, which is why he made this guess.

"The second possibility is that Lian Chengxian wasn't pushed out by someone; he simply came to cause me trouble. He's got his eye on you, and it's just a choice he made after weighing the options."

This is probably the best-case scenario, but the probability is very low, because Lian Chengxian shouldn't know where you are.

Wang Yulou didn't believe that Lian Chengxian had no one behind him. He had just appointed Lin Ying as the Northern Front Inspector, and Lian Chengxian had captured Lin Ying shortly after. This couldn't possibly be Lian Chengxian's level. Just the information gathering ability alone was beyond Lian Chengxian's capabilities. "The third possibility is that he has someone behind him, a mastermind. This is a clever trick targeting me."

The fact that this expert was able to find Lian Chengxian and have him arrest you, thereby harming, provoking, and intimidating me, fully demonstrates how much this expert dislikes me.

I suspect this master secretly wishes I were dead.

Knowing Lin Ying's situation and movements, and being able to instigate Lian Chengxian to capture Lin Ying, with the possible aim of harming Wang Yulou.

Following this logic, the person behind it must be someone inside the red light.

Yi Zouri, Yan Jia, and Pi Lingxiu are the only possibilities.

Therefore, Wang Yulou was in a hurry to take Lin Ying to the Red Lantern Street to quickly advance the response to the aftermath, so as to seize his own advantage in this internal strife that was instigated by the enemy for who knows how many times.

"Why are so many people targeting you, my husband? You were just doing what you were supposed to do; you should be considered dutiful and responsible," Senior Sister Lin asked.

This issue actually reflects Lin's humble background.

"Alas, in this world, there are very few real things, and they are all covered up and blurred by countless falsehoods."

For example, your talk of being loyal to one's duty is just a narrative; its value does not exist outside the system that recognizes it.

The Immortal Alliance is vast, but when it comes to specific states, the major sects often still rule the local areas. I have been loyal to my sect, and the sect thanks and rewards me. This is because my loyalty has been recognized by the system that constructs this narrative value system.

However, within a system, the interests of individuals within the system differ from those of the system as a whole.

For ambitious core disciples, taking many so-called key positions within the Red Lantern organization would ruin their own path.

A real opportunity, like the one I'm currently doing as a special meritorious deacon, is something I'd fight for with my life, and it's worth it.

"Without sufficient resources, and even under the control of the True Immortals, opportunities to create work resources are limited. Therefore, I fear I will face endless conflicts."

"Endless conflict?"

"Yes, I'll only stop when I win."

This may only be the beginning.

In the future, you will face more situations where you are implicated by me.

"Do you regret marrying me?"

"No regrets, I believe you can win, Yulou."
-
Whether Wang Yulou wins or loses, Gua Zhenren neither knows nor cares.

Its body moved lightly and slowly through the air, its four feet moving lightly, so that in an instant, it could rush from three hundred miles behind the battle line to the front line of the confrontation between the two factions.

Having retracted the technique of shrinking his body, Gua Zhenren's true form suddenly appeared more than forty miles in front of Wang Xianmao's defensive node.

It was a huge frog demon with yellow and green stripes, its body shrouded in a majestic aura; its eyes alone were seven or eight zhang in size.

Its body stretches across the distant horizon, like a mountain flying in mid-air.

Wang Xianmao realized almost instantly that the civil war within the Immortal Alliance had begun.

He wanted to escape, but the Wang family's records mentioned this Gua Zhenren of the Heavenly Serpent Sect, who had once served as the Dragon and Tiger Zhenren of the Western Sea.

Gua Zhenren's supernatural power is the power of sound; once unleashed, no living creature can exist within a radius of several hundred miles.

The Wang family's thousand-year heritage has once again revealed its significance.

In that life-or-death moment, Wang Xianmao activated a special supernatural power—transforming himself into a tree.

In the center of Silly Donkey Plain, there is a grove of large trees, all of which are spiritual artifacts, and several of them are high-grade spiritual artifacts.

After Wang Rongjiang achieved Foundation Establishment, he received a large tree-shaped spiritual artifact.

There's a reason behind this.

The Wang family's woodworking techniques are profound and have been passed down for many years. Once, an ancestor, based on the Wang family's bloodline and the experience accumulated in woodworking, developed a special supernatural power, namely, the ability to transform oneself into a tree.

The special thing about it is not that it is so powerful. Naturally, there are different levels of supernatural powers. In a sense, turning oneself into a tree is the worst kind of supernatural power.

Unlike the demon-transforming supernatural power cultivated by the Purple Mansion Divine Power Transformation Method, the Abandoning Body to Transform into a Tree method will trap the user inside the tree's body, preventing them from continuing their cultivation.

Moreover, because the Wang family's foundation was insufficient in establishing supernatural powers, this method could only be performed by direct descendants of the Wang family. Strictly speaking, it was highly dependent on heredity.

Even if outsiders learn it, they will find it difficult to apply it well.

That's why it's considered special.

However, when faced with the sudden appearance of Gua Zhenren on the front line, the tree, with its vigorous vitality and being a plant, was not of the same kind as ordinary creatures. By transforming itself into a tree, it could avoid Gua Zhenren's attacks using the sound-based supernatural powers.

Wang Xianmao wasn't the only one to discover Gua Zhenren, but while the others simply ran, Wang Xianmao gave up running and went all in. The Immortal Alliance civil war had already begun, and he used his Abandon Body to Transform into a Tree Divine Power against the clock.

After Gua Zhenren appeared, without any prelude, he immediately opened his terrifying, blood-sea-like maw.

"Qua~"

The Great Annihilation Immortal Sound is a supernatural power created by Gua Zhenren after he opened his Purple Mansion.

Wherever the celestial music goes, all living beings that cannot resist it will be annihilated.

The speed of sound is 340 meters per second, but the Great Destruction Immortal Sound stirs the spiritual power of heaven and earth and the magical power of Gua Zhenren himself.

Its speed is forty miles in a single breath.

However, from the moment Wang Xianmao discovered Gua Zhenren to the moment he decided to use the technique of transforming himself into a tree to save his life, he had already expended a quarter of his breath. Therefore, his chance of survival was only one breath away.

Fortunately, Wang Xianmao majored in woodworking.

First the torso transformed into bluish-green tree bark, then the legs and feet transformed into dense tree roots that extended deep into the earth, and finally the arms and head.

As Wang Xianmao was being transformed into a tree, he let out unbearable screams.

His body was twisting and growing, gradually transforming from a human into a tree.

In the blink of an eye, a small tree, ten feet tall, took over the spot where Wang Xianmao had been standing.

"Rumble~ Rumble~"

The ground trembled, causing the small trees to sway from side to side.

Under the Great Annihilation Immortal Sound Divine Power of Gua Zhenren, the earthworms and insects underground were also shattered into dust.

Those who started early in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages were no match for the supernatural powers of the Purple Mansion True Man, who was less than a piece of paper.

Insects and snakes were shattered, cattle and sheep were shattered, and mortals were shattered as well.

Centered on Gua Zhenren, a semicircle appeared extending to both sides of the battle line and in the direction of the red lantern, a semicircle that was spreading rapidly.

The semi-circular edge is defined by the carnage unleashed by the Great Annihilation Immortal Sound; wherever the Great Annihilation Immortal Sound passes, all living beings perish!

As the Great Immortal Extinction Sound advanced a hundred miles, Yan Keyi, who was guarding the pass in the middle line, directly activated a magical talisman.

He noticed the appearance of Master Gua. The garrison cultivators guarding the pass could know the status of the defensive array at the front line.

The Heavenly Serpent Sect has arrived. What can Yan Keyi do?
run!
The magical talisman used by Yan Keyi was bestowed upon the Yan family by Xuanzhuan, and it was also used to escape the Milky Way.

The silvery-gray Milky Way appeared high in the sky above the two front lines. Yan Keyi was swept up by the Milky Way and fled rapidly toward the heart of the Red Lantern.

A cultivator's spiritual sense has its limits, but their eyesight has no limits. As long as their eyesight is good enough, it is normal to see things hundreds of miles away (mortals can do this too, such as seeing mountain ranges).

Seeing a figure fleeing towards the heart of the Red Lanterns from the direction of the town's defenses, the battle line hundreds of miles outside the Red Lanterns' central line, which Gua Zhenren had chosen as the direction of attack, began to become unstable.

It's unclear who was the first to run, but clearly, no one wanted to become a victim of war.

If even the defenders of the central line have fled, what's the point of still holding the front line?
run!
The Great Annihilation Sound has already spread for two hundred miles.

Gua Zhenren only roared once, but five breaths later, the red lantern's center line began to collapse.

The most terrifying aspect of this collapse is that many cultivators who wouldn't normally be targeted by Master Gua will also flee once they see that the people defending nearby nodes have all run away.

The deathly semicircle drawn by the Great Destroyer Immortal Sound is still spreading and growing, and the trend of collapse along the central line is also spreading and growing.

The Great Annihilation Sound has spread for three hundred miles.

"Stop!"

Wang Yulou uneasily ordered everyone to stop, noticing that something was amiss in the distance.

The Milky Way hangs upside down, and a silver ribbon seems to hang on the distant horizon. The ribbon starts from the direction of the central guard post and extends into the depths of the Red Lantern, with no end in sight.

How could such a scene not attract attention?
The many Jade Palaces and Fragrant Bamboo Workshops that followed Wang Yulou in building their foundations also realized the problem.

"What happened?"

"Something terrible has happened! The Milky Way is upside down! Someone is using supernatural powers to escape!"

"Would the Heavenly Serpent Sect send someone with a Purple Mansion cultivation level to intervene?"

Silence fell; everyone was taken aback by this possibility.

With the Purple Mansion's intervention, the conflict escalated, and the intensity of the battle also increased.

Has the civil war within the Immortal Alliance begun?
"Let's go, head east!"

Wang Yulou, holding Lin Ying's hand, rode the black dragon horse eastward into the depths of the red lanterns.

In fact, even without his reminder, those Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed him already knew they should run away.

Even though the True Person of the Heavenly Serpent Sect was at least 500 miles away from them, who knew how powerful the supernatural abilities of a Grand Master of the Purple Mansion were?
If given a choice, no one would want to be the price.

The black horse was unusually running so hard that it was foaming at the mouth. It even considered throwing off the two wretches on its back and running alone.

However, Wang Yulou is too terrifying. He even dares to threaten the Purple Mansion True Person. When the Immortal Alliance steward under the Immortal Venerable offended him, his limbs were broken.

However, since the two were riding the Black Dragon Horse, whose speed was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Wang Yulou had already pulled his Daoist partner off its back while the Black Dragon Horse was struggling with its movements.

With various escape talismans around him, even while holding Lin Ying's hand, Wang Yulou still flew at the speed of a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He considered using the Heavenly River technique as well, but their location was a bit far from the front line and even further from the central garrison pass.

With the intervention of the Heavenly Serpent Sect's True Person, forcing Yan Keyi to flee, the True Person of the Red Lantern Sect will definitely step in to intervene.

If Wang Yulou runs forward from his current position, he might be able to wait for the Red Lantern Sect's True Person to intervene and stop the Heavenly Serpent Sect's True Person.

Therefore, in the end he decided to save the Heavenly River Escaping Talisman.

Thus, under the inverted Milky Way, the Red Lanterns' central battlefield collapsed completely, and all the cultivators retreated to the heart of the Red Lanterns' territory.

The real person behind the red light will certainly take action.

The first to make a move was Nan Yeke, who was closest to Gua Zhenren.

The founder of the Southern Leaf Kingdom was far less powerful than Gua Zhenren. Even with his magic weapons and supernatural powers combined, he couldn't stop Gua Zhenren from activating the Great Extinction Immortal Sound.

While dealing with the hastily arriving Nan Yeke, Gua Zhenren continued to control the Great Extinction Immortal Sound to move forward.

Five hundred miles away, the Great Extinction Immortal Sound broke through the central guard pass.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the pass had mostly fled, making the formation unsustainable. Those cultivators who thought the pass would protect them were all reduced to dust by the Great Annihilation Sound.

However, this was almost the limit of the Great Extinction Immortal Sound. As Gua Zhenren charged forward, he withdrew his supernatural power.

But it withdrew its supernatural powers so it could unleash another attack!
This time, Master Gua doesn't plan to control the direction; he'll kill everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles!

It stood atop the gate, its blood-red maw wide open, and immediately unleashed a new devastating sound.

Even with Gua Zhenren's strength, his demonic body suffered hidden injuries after being continuously pushed to its limits.

But for Gua Zhenren, this kind of hidden injury was nothing serious—a minor problem.

The key point is to eliminate as many of the Red Lights' personnel as possible.

However, the Red Light District is not lacking in strongmen.

Counting from top to bottom, Zhuzhao, Mangxiang, Fuyan, and Jinxian, each and every one of them is no less powerful than Guazhenren.

Of course, they couldn't just sit idly by and watch this frog demon defecate on the face of the red lantern.

"Old man, you're asking for it."

A slightly mocking voice resounded throughout the land.

Fu Yan, who had just arrived at the front line to clean up Mang Xiang's mess, stopped in his tracks.

The elephant is back.

Now that Mangxiang has returned, he has to clean up his own mess, so Fuyan naturally won't continue forward.

Compared to the formless and intangible Great Annihilation Sound unleashed by Gua Zhenren, Mangxiang's Formless Technique is superior in terms of secrecy.

A vast expanse of pure energy manifested between heaven and earth, and a white Dharma body, as white as a cloud, appeared directly beside Master Gua.

The white giant pressed his hands down, and the true Formless Heaven and Earth was unleashed.

The basis for the existence of the Great Extinction Immortal Sound is that the Great Heaven and Earth still exist, but after being squeezed by the Formless Heaven and Earth, it loses its basis for existence.

However, after Mangxiang unleashed his Formless Heaven and Earth technique, the portion of the Great Annihilation Immortal Sound that had been squeezed out of Formless Heaven and Earth surged outwards along the edge of Formless Heaven and Earth at an even faster speed.

Among them was the direction Wang Yulou fled.

Death spread rapidly behind him. Wang Yulou could not see the form of the Great Extinction Immortal Sound, but he could see the death it brought.

He knew he had to use the Heavenly River.

However, just moments before Wang Yulou was about to use the Heavenly River.
A giant stone tortoise, one-tenth the size of Gua Zhenren, burst open from Wang Yulou's spirit beast pouch.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

It cursed angrily, blocking the Great Destruction Immortal Sound for Wang Yulou.

It is the Stone Ancestor, the great demon Stone Ancestor of Dripping Water Cave, and the master of Old Cui Dingyi!
