Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 95 Yuan Hong Displays His Supernatural Powers, and the Immortals of the Intercepting Sect Emerge from the Mountain

Realizing the urgency of the situation, the dinner was abruptly ended.

The next day, Wen Zhong led his army out of the camp and came to the city of Beihai to challenge them.

Yuan Hong and others followed the army on their expedition and arrived at the city of Beihai, only to find that Yuan Futong remained inside the city gates.

After several rounds of verbal sparring, there was still no response. Wen Zhong had no choice but to issue a military order, commanding the army to attack the city in batches. In an instant, arrows rained down from both the city walls and the ground below, relentlessly reaping the lives of soldiers on both sides.

However, the Shang army was large and well-equipped. After making huge sacrifices, they still managed to build ladders, and squads of soldiers began to climb the city walls.

Unexpectedly, just as the Shang army had the upper hand, a strong wind suddenly arose, blowing the siege ladders to the side and causing countless soldiers to fall heavily. The army on the ground was also disoriented by the wind, unable to distinguish east from west or north from south.

"How dare you! What kind of demon dares to stir up trouble and obstruct our army's conquest!"

Seeing the enemy cultivators make their move, Yuan Hong's figure blurred as he flew above the army. Three flowers appeared on his head, instantly stabilizing the strong wind. With a flick of his "Star Staff," he smashed it down towards the city gate tower of Beihai City.

"You audacious monk! I've got you!"

Suddenly, a bald man in yellow clothes burst out of the city, his golden hand materializing and actually blocking Yuan Hong's smash!

At the same time, the bald man in yellow swayed and thought to himself, "Yuan Hong is incredibly strong."

Having steadied himself, the bald man in yellow took the lead, unleashing the "Great Immortal Technique of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" with his Five Fingers Suppressing Immortal. Boundless golden energy slowly condensed into a golden world in the bald man's palm, bombarding Yuan Hong.

"Hmph! As expected of a shameless scoundrel from the Western Religion!"

Yuan Hong sneered, remembering his teacher's instructions before he left: if he encountered any members of the Western Church, kill them all!

Yuan Hong stood still as the golden world enveloped him. He unleashed all thirty-six techniques of the Heavenly Gang, displaying a variety of supernatural abilities. The illusory golden world was shattered by Yuan Hong's internal attacks, and his "Star Staff" struck here and there.

In just over ten rounds, he shattered the "Great Immortal Technique of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of the Hand". Now that Yuan Hong has advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal, his magical power has increased more than ten times. He is now very adept at dealing with this Western sect member, and the man's attacks cannot bring any fatal damage to Yuan Hong.

After exchanging over a hundred blows, in the blink of an eye, Yuan Hong suddenly unleashed his great divine power of Dharma Body and Heaven, grabbing the yellow-robed bald man in mid-air and squeezing him into a cloud of blood mist.

"Hahaha! I'll send you to your ashes!"

The Chaos Dao Lord revealed everything about the Investiture of the Gods, and Yuan Hong knew it in great detail. If this bald monk doesn't cultivate merit, he will be reduced to ashes this time.

"Brother Kasyapa!"

The bald man in yellow was instantly killed by Yuan Hong. Six more monks flew out from Beihai City, their faces filled with grief. They immediately surrounded Yuan Hong and began a fierce battle.

"You think you outnumber me? Brothers! Attack together!"

The other six of the Seven Sages of Meishan flashed into the void and joined forces with Yuan Hong to fight against the six eminent monks of the Western Sect.

These seven monks all came from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and each of them was at the Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal level. These people could be considered the main force of the Western Sect.

Originally, Zhunti sent him out to buy time, so that Wen Zhong would be preoccupied with other matters and King Zhou would lose his virtue. Unexpectedly, under the secret planning of Chaos Daojun, King Zhou did lose his virtue, but his tyranny was diverted to a new direction, namely Xiqi.

Meanwhile, Yuan Futong also encountered great trouble. Yuan Hong and his group of Meishan demons attacked and killed Jia Ye, the senior brother of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, which made the other six monks extremely angry.

However, the great rise of the Xuanmen sect was no exaggeration. When competing at the same level, how could the monks of the Western Sect be a match for the Seven Sages of Meishan? In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yuan Hong and his group had already gained an overwhelming advantage.

On the ground, Wen Zhong was overjoyed to see Yuan Hong display his divine power. He ordered the entire army to retreat thirty miles, waiting for the victory in the aerial battle before launching a full-scale attack to completely pacify Beihai City.

In Beihai City, Yuan Futong's face turned ashen. The immortal who usually boasted of being invincible had one of his men killed in a single exchange, and the remaining six were also at a disadvantage. His situation was very bad!

In the void, under the ferocious attack, the area above Beihai City was in a vacuum. Every streak of light that shot out caused the earth to tremble.

With the help of his many brothers, Yuan Hong seized the opportunity and suddenly flew into the air, passing through the gaps and directly into the six monks. With two loud bangs, two more monks were smashed by his "Star Staff". Before their souls could leave their bodies, he used the "Sleeve Universe Great Immortal Technique" to suppress them.

With a flick of his sleeve, the two wisps of green smoke dissipated.

"You wicked creature! You've earned your power to commit such a heinous act!"

Suddenly, a burst of golden light shone from the western sky, and more than a dozen experts from the Western Sect descended upon the area. Their terrifying aura swept across the land, causing Yuan Hong and his companions to change their expressions.

Ignoring the need to kill the remaining four monks, Yuan Hong and the others stood in the void in the position of the Big Dipper.

Instantly, the Nine Heavens Gale Layer roared, and in the vast and boundless starry sky, the Big Dipper shone brightly, with seven beams of starlight piercing through the heavens and earth, forming seven pillars of light that descended upon the Seven Sages of Meishan.

The auras of the seven people rose rapidly. With the support of star power, Yuan Hong actually gained the power of the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, while the other six saints also made great progress in their cultivation, each of them possessing the power of the peak of Golden Immortal.

Golden light entered the battlefield, instantly dispelling the divine light gathered by Yuan Hong and his six companions, and the sky transformed into a golden kingdom.

"Hmph! Junior! You killed my Western Sect disciples, you should have been utterly destroyed. However, this humble monk disdains bullying the weak. Today, I have set up a great formation here. You should quickly return to the Intercepting Sect and summon your reinforcements!"

Hearing the old monk's words, Yuan Hong breathed a sigh of relief. The lowest cultivation level among this group of people was Taiyi Golden Immortal, and there were quite a few Daluo Golden Immortals among them. In fact, the two old monks leading the group had extremely terrifying auras, somewhat like the ethereal aura of their teacher.

Could it be that even a mere Western religion has experts at the quasi-saint level?

After calming himself down, Yuan Hong said, "Judging from your cultivation, you must hold a high position in the Western Religion. Why have you come to the East with the intention of overthrowing the Shang Dynasty? You should leave quickly to avoid damaging our harmony."

"Youngster! This is no place for your idle chatter. Go back now! You've angered this monk, and I'll finish you off now!"

The old monk didn't bother to say anything more to a junior like Yuan Hong.

"Goodbye!"

Faced with a master of this caliber, Yuan Hong dared not utter any threats and sheepishly led his six brothers back to the main army.

Seeing Yuan Hong's dark expression, Wen Zhong wisely refrained from asking further questions and directly ordered the troops to withdraw and return to camp.

Upon returning to the barracks, the generals gathered in the central command tent. Wen Zhong hurriedly asked, "Junior Brother Yuan, who are the two people behind us? What are their cultivation levels?"

"Grand Tutor, the Western Expeditionary Force is extremely powerful. The lowest level among them is Taiyi Golden Immortal. I suspect that the two leaders might be Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers. Either one of them could have shattered my soul!" After saying this, Yuan Hong said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, the old monk respected the dignity of a master, which is why the seven of us brothers escaped with our lives."

"A quasi-saint level expert?"

Wen Zhong was greatly surprised. He was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, and his own teacher was only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He had not yet severed his corpse. How could the Western Sect possibly have two Quasi-Saints?

After a while, Wen Zhong asked again, "What should we do then?"

"Grand Tutor, do not be anxious. The situation here is beyond our control. My master just transmitted the power of the Big Dipper from the Thirty-Three Heavens, which shows that he is aware of the situation here. We should quickly build a thatched hut and wait for our elders from the Jie Sect to descend to earth."

Wen Zhong, being a third-generation master of the Jie Sect, naturally understood Yuan Hong's meaning and immediately issued an order to build a reed shed to await the arrival of the elder.

As Yuan Hong had predicted, Li Yunjing's benevolent corpse, the Great Emperor of the Purple Star in the Central Heaven, was in charge of all the stars in the heavens and also managed the wars of the Three Realms. When the position of the Great Emperor of the Upper Palace of Gouchen was vacant, he basically shared the power of the Heavenly Court with the Jade Emperor and ruled over all the affairs of the heavens.

Li Yunjing naturally cared deeply about his disciples, especially the war in Beihai, which involved the swift conquest of Xiqi. His attention was naturally focused on this area.

If the two quasi-saints from the Western Sect were to bully the weak, Li Yunjing would naturally not stand idly by.

Fortunately, the two were sensible enough to hesitate when they saw that he was using the power of the stars, and did not attack Yuan Hong. Otherwise, Li Yunjing would have naturally shown them what the orthodox Xuanmen sect was all about.

Three days later, two celestial children appeared above the Yin Shang camp in the North Sea.

Yuan Hong, Wen Zhong, and the others stepped out of the tent and saw two boys standing in mid-air. They were Qingsong Boy and Yingshi Boy, who were by their teacher's side. They called out, "Qingsong and Yingshi, have you come here? Has the teacher sent a decree?"

"Senior Brother Yuan Hong, the teacher told you to prepare yourselves. He will be coming with several senior uncles in three days."

After saying this, the two boys bowed to Yuan Hong and then rode away on a cloud.

Upon receiving news that his fifth uncle had personally gone out, Wen Zhong was in high spirits. The army had been reorganized and was just waiting for the elders of the sect to win and destroy Yuan Futong.

Three days later, at dawn, they saw a continuous expanse of clear light in the south. Wen Zhong, Yuan Hong, and others hurriedly led their generals out of the tent to greet them. They saw several immortals flying in from the void.

In the blink of an eye, the immortals of the Jie Sect, led by Chaos Daojun, descended onto the reed pavilion, and Wen Zhong, Yuan Hong, and others quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

This time, Li Yunjing spared no expense, inviting his senior brother Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, Caiyun Xianzi, Yuyi Xian, and Changer Dingguang Xian to join him.

Li Yunjing specifically sought out Duobao Daoren and Chang'er Dingguang Xian because he knew that these two had become like strangers after being conferred the title of gods. Since that was the case, it would be better to let the two of them shed blood beforehand.

Killing one Westerner is one thing, but later, these two entered Buddhism, which also made their lives miserable.

As for the Golden Spirit Mother coming out of the mountain, it was naturally because Wen Zhong was her disciple. How could a teacher not step forward when her disciple was in trouble?

As for Zhao Gongming, Yu Yixian, and other direct descendants, they were just leading them into a killing spree. After all, they were all people on the list, and perhaps if they fought hard, they could find a way out.

Li Yunjing pointed at Wen Zhong and said to Jinling Shengmu with a smile, "Senior Sister, your disciple is quite good. He can be considered one of the best among the three generations of our Jie Sect."

The disciples of the Jie Sect chatted and laughed for a while before the eldest disciple, Duobao Daoist, said, "This place is not a place for us to stay for long. We should have a fight with the Western Sect as soon as possible, and then we can return to the mountain and quietly recite the Yellow Court Classic."

"What Senior Brother says is absolutely right! Let the Westerners see what the true Xuanmen sect is all about, and we can return to the mountain to cultivate in peace as soon as possible." Li Yunjing nodded in deep agreement.

With Li Yunjing's approval, the others nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for the sake of the Golden Spirit Mother and the Chaos Dao Lord, the Treasure Daoist and the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal would not have been willing to leave the mountain. They were not yet at the Quasi-Saint level and were in the midst of a great calamity, so they were naturally cautious in their actions.

In Beihai City, the Western Sect's Quasi-Saints Shiqi and Junahan addressed numerous Western Sect experts, saying, "The Jie Sect cultivators have arrived. This time, we must have a battle with them and see what their so-called orthodox Xuanmen sect is all about!"

Ju Na smiled and said, "The three religions of the East are nothing but empty names. If they didn't have one more sage than my Western religion, how could they be a match for my Western religion?"

"That's right! You and I are both Quasi-Saints. Even if Chaos Dao Lord attained enlightenment earlier and his magical power is more profound than ours, he alone is no match for us brothers working together!" Shi Qi nodded in agreement.

Xiniu Hezhou is a barbarian land, and the immortal masters of the East naturally disdain to go there. In addition, Jieyin and Zhunti always boast about themselves, thus blocking the news of the East's strength.

This also led the disciples to have a prejudice against the three religions, that is, the three religions of Xuanmen are nothing special!

For this battle, the Western Sect has sent out its elite forces, including its only two Quasi-Saints, as well as dozens of disciples of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Golden Immortal levels.

At noon, the mortals departed, and on the reed-roofed pavilion, the immortals of the Jie Sect revealed auspicious clouds and three flowers on their heads, with clusters of pure energy covering half the sky.

On the city of Beihai, the Western Sect's quasi-saints Shiki and Junahan saw the Jie Sect manifesting auspicious clouds and three flowers on their heads, and each of them used their supernatural powers. They saw that relics appeared on the heads of all the monks, some with one, some with two or three.

Numerous relics shot into the sky, radiating golden light, and the fragrance of sandalwood filled the air.

The Western Sect's influence was somewhat stronger than that of the Jie Sect.

Gradually, the golden light of the Western Sect pressed towards the Qing Guang, eventually overpowering the Jie Sect and advancing towards the Yin Shang camp.

Upon seeing this, Chaos Dao Lord released the auspicious cloud and three flowers above his head. After being released, they had already grown to a size of a hundred miles, enveloping the Shangqing Immortal Light of the Jie Sect immortals. Instantly, they suppressed the golden light that filled the sky. The golden light slowly retreated, and finally, the pure light and the golden light confronted each other in the center of the battlefield.

Half an hour later, both sides put away their auspicious clouds and relics, and the first battle ended with the Jie Sect gaining the upper hand.
