Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 170 Turning the tide

Yin Qiujun couldn't help but think, "If you were to reincarnate, the world would be much more peaceful."

However, Shun's words also touched on Yin Qiujun's heart. The Immortal City was so powerful that he had already been in danger twice, and each time it was more dangerous than the last.

Who can guarantee that he will be able to escape danger again next time, and won't end up like Jia Zifang, who couldn't even be saved by the Hall of Longevity?

But if he were to withdraw now, what could he do?

He was already disgraced and ruined. Xuanzong and the righteous path of the Central Plains would not let him go. He had also broken with Zhaomu Zun. He believed that as long as there was an opportunity, Zhaomu Zun would definitely put him to death as soon as possible, because he was the same.

If he leaves the Hall of Longevity, does he have to hide all day long and guard against Zhao Muzun's persecution?

Since escaping Xuanzong, he has been in hiding for too long. He doesn't want to disappear from the martial world, but rather live in constant fear, worrying that Cang will come looking for him, Zhaomu Zun will come looking for him, or some other person.

After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "I don't want to quit. I still have the chance to obtain the Fountain of Immortality, and there will be many more opportunities in the future."

Yes, it will happen, it definitely will, otherwise he won't be satisfied, he really won't be satisfied.

"Very good, very energetic."

Shun gave Yin Qiujun a thumbs up, "We need this kind of spirit to boost morale right now, otherwise we'll really collapse."

""

Yin Qiujun stared at Shun, feeling that the other person was mocking something.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you doubt me? I'm just hesitant and indecisive. Seeing how confident you all are, I'll take another look. Maybe there really will be a chance?"

Of course, don't expect me to be at the forefront anymore. Let me be frank with you, from now on I'll only play when things are going well. Believe me, if things turn against us, I'll be the first to run away.

Yin Qiujun nodded, indicating that she believed him. She trusted him completely, believing that he was a cunning fellow who could keep his word.

As they were talking, a light mist suddenly rose around them, and within a few breaths, the mist became so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Yin Qiujun immediately sensed something was wrong. She suddenly waved her feather fan and unleashed a strong gust of wind, which dispersed the mist with a whoosh. In an instant, the person had vanished without a trace.

Illusions and the secret techniques that interfere with perception — Yin Qiujun quickly made a judgment and found a way to break them, but...

"Why are you risking your life with just one bottle of Immortal Essence?" — This sentence suddenly echoed in Yin Qiujun's mind.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound. He has already used the Undying Source. If he uses it again, there is only one possibility: he will be seriously injured again.

Then why would he do it?

Yin Qiujun's mind raced, so she didn't rush to break the secret technique. Instead, she first protected herself and made full preparations. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she transformed her feather fan into a sword and used her magic to break the secret technique.

As the secret technique was broken, Yin Qiujun saw that around the Lianming Platform in the distance, Ku Ma Yi was already leading his troops in a battle with Dian Yu Feng Lian and the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant of the Immortal City.

Go help? Yin Qiujun shook his head inwardly. He needed to gather his companions first, at least find Shun, before going over to surround and attack, striving to take down the enemy in one fell swoop.

Yin Qiujun sensed Shun's aura and discovered that Shun was already over a hundred feet away, and was with Gai Lu Kuangxi.

Yin Qiujun immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed over, only to see Shun staring at Gai Lu Kuang Xi.

"Damn it, I was just trying to help you, and this is how you treat me? Are you crazy?"

"You little brat, what help have you given me? You say you know the way, where's the way? If you can't get out of here, I'll kill you!"

"Chop down your old tree! Phoenix Wings Soar to the Sky!"

boom!

Seeing that Jian Shun suddenly blasted Gai Lu Kuang Xi away with a palm strike, Gai Lu Kuang Xi became furious and the two started fighting. They started fighting amongst themselves. Yin Qiu Jun couldn't help but cover his face and wonder how he ended up with such scum.

Yin Qiujun waved her hand, breaking the secret technique, and then said, "Stop! With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, how can you do this?"

She didn't shout or yell; Yin Qiujun was too tired and didn't have the energy.

Bang!

Fortunately, Shi Shun didn't really intend to fight Gai Lu Kuang Xi to the death. He unleashed a palm strike to create distance, then shouted, "Mad dog, once we've finished our business, I'll beat you to death!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the Lianming Platform. Gai Lu Kuang Xi cursed and swore, but did not chase after him to fight. Instead, he went to find his good brother Wu Seng.

Seeing this, Yin Qiujun followed and helped Wu Seng, who was still trapped in the secret technique, out. Only then did the three of them go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, Shun was watching the spectacle from the outside.

"Why are you so late? Hurry up and surround them, then launch an attack."

In an instant, he resumed giving orders, and before Gai Lu Kuangxi could even start cursing, he dashed off in a circle to the other side of the battlefield.

The three had no choice but to separate, but just then!

A streak of crimson flames and a stream of inky water shot over and arrived beside the Indigo Feather Wind Lotus, transforming into the Fiery Red Lotus and the Ink Abyss Water Lotus. The three lotuses reunited and once again used the Wind, Fire and Water Convergence Technique!

The combined attack of the three lotuses doubled the power of their ultimate move, creating a deafening roar as a hurricane surged and the earth churned. Ku Ma Yi was violently blasted away, and the army of the Hall of Longevity suffered heavy casualties.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant immediately rushed towards the Life-Binding Platform and each unleashed a palm strike, causing the platform to explode with a deafening roar!

boom!!!

The terrifying explosion that erupted from the Life-Breaking Platform was even more powerful than the combined attack of the Three Lotuses. The Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant were the first to be hit and were sent flying backward like rag dolls!

Then, Sanlian, who was about to rush over, was also violently blasted away!

On the contrary, Ku Ma Yi's timely evacuation was a scheme set up by the Hall of Longevity, which designed the Lianming Platform trap to lure the people of the Immortal City to the trap by an insider!

Upon seeing this, Yin Qiujun, Gailu Kuangxi, and Wuseng were all taken aback. Gailu Kuangxi felt strange, Wuseng secretly thought they had fallen into a trap, and Yin Qiujun realized that Yi Cantian was fishing for them. He suspected that there was a traitor among them.

As for the instant.

He saw that the three lotuses had already retreated, while the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant were too badly injured and had fainted. Ku Ma Yi flashed forward, just about to grab someone, when he felt a gust of wind behind his head. He subconsciously dodged, and then saw Shun come over and maliciously bump into him. If he hadn't dodged, he would have definitely been knocked off balance.

"Surrender!"

In an instant, he grabbed the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant with one hand each—as if he were the one who had made the greatest contribution in this battle.

Everyone was convinced. Gai Lu Kuang Xi immediately wanted to confront him, but was stopped by Wu Seng. Ku Ma Yi flashed back to the cave entrance to guard Hui Zun. Then, some warriors from the Hall of Longevity came and took away the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant.

The great battle on this side has ended, and on the other side, the battle in which the Hall of Longevity launched a surprise attack on the City of Immortality has also come to a conclusion.

As the Changsheng Palace had anticipated, the breakthrough point chosen by the Nine Chapters Hidden Treasure was indeed an ambush. Shi Nenglong personally led the team to snipe the Ancestral Priest, Wentian Di, and Zhaomu Zun, repelling all the invading enemies.

The Palace of Longevity suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, it was not crippled. In this battle, both sides won one battle each, but relatively speaking, the capture of the Grand Tutor and Grand Assistant of the Immortal City meant that the losses were far greater than those of the Palace of Longevity.

In this round, the Hall of Longevity finally won a point, but its plans continue.
