Chapter 2590: Get Lost!
The five high-ranking members from Flying Swan Peak who came to the Immortal Bow Hall, one with cultivation level at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and four at the high rank of the Immortal Emperor Realm.This combination of strength may not be overwhelming to the Immortal Bow Hall, but it does bring immense pressure.
Zigong Immortal Emperor knows that if he refuses Dayan Immortal Emperor this time, they might come back next time with an overwhelming number of disciples from Flying Swan Peak.
For Zigong Immortal Emperor, paying the "protection fee" is acceptable, but allowing Flying Swan Peak to take away the ten most outstanding disciples from the sect is something he absolutely cannot agree to.
If he foolishly agrees, then all disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall would be tremendously disappointed in him, and other sect disciples would ridicule him, losing all his credibility as a Sect Master.
Therefore, Zigong Immortal Emperor refused Dayan Immortal Emperor without any hesitation and with a firm attitude.
"Flying Swan Immortal Emperor is an Emperor Realm Expert, lowering himself to guide your sect’s disciples, it is your fortune! Zigong Immortal Emperor, you mustn’t be ungrateful!"
Dayan Immortal Emperor’s face turned cold.
Following the orders of Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, he, along with four stewards, traveled across the ten great immortal sects of the Western Desolate, stating directly at each sect that he wanted to take their talented disciples to Flying Swan Peak to receive guidance from Flying Swan Immortal Emperor.
Sects with closer ties to Flying Swan Peak had no choice but to agree under Dayan Immortal Emperor’s carrots-and-sticks approach, while a few immortal sects, unafraid of Dayan Immortal Emperor’s threats and warnings, either politely or firmly refused.
As an elder of Flying Swan Peak with cultivation level at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, Dayan Immortal Emperor was already in a bad mood, and now, encountering resistance from Zigong Immortal Emperor, a surge of evil fire ignited within.
Dayan Immortal Emperor holds respect and dread for Flying Swan Immortal Emperor and knows that Flying Swan Immortal Emperor has been in seclusion, painstakingly cultivating for thousands of years, attempting to reach the Great Emperor Realm.
Decades ago, after failing to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, Flying Swan Immortal Emperor left the sect, wandering the Immortal Realm to relieve his mind, hoping to find opportunities for advancement.
Recently, upon Flying Swan Immortal Emperor’s latest return, it was discovered by all disciples of Flying Swan Peak that the Sect Master’s temperament seemed to have become much more fierce and violent; even slightly displeased, he would strike and kill disciples, and the Blood Fiend Qi emanating from him and the sinister light in his eyes made all disciples tremble before him, hardly daring to breathe.
Even Dayan Immortal Emperor and more than a dozen high-ranking sect members behaved submissively before him, fearing to provoke his displeasure.
Dayan Immortal Emperor could imagine that if he returned this time without bringing a sufficient number of talented disciples from various immortal sects, the Sect Master would surely lose his temper, not necessarily attacking him, but certainly scolding him for incompetence.
Previously, Flying Swan Peak often recruited talented disciples from various immortal sects, using coercion and bribery to make them join Flying Swan Peak, to strengthen Flying Swan Peak’s power and maintain its transcendent status in the Immortal Realm in the future.
But this time, Dayan Immortal Emperor found it unusually challenging, as the Sect Master actually asked him to "invite" a hundred talented disciples from the ten immortal sects to Flying Swan Peak to receive "guidance."
Such a large number, unprecedented.
Dayan Immortal Emperor didn’t know the Sect Master’s intention but dared not inquire, just had to comply.
However, this way, Flying Swan Peak managed to offend all ten immortal sects thoroughly.
Because regardless of whether they agreed or refused his "invitation," deep down every sect felt dissatisfied with Flying Swan Peak’s approach.
"Fortune, huh? Ha... Flying Swan Peak, you surely know better than anyone what you want, don’t you? Dayan Immortal Emperor, we are done talking, excuse me!"
With these words, Zigong Immortal Emperor turned to leave.
All disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall stared at Dayan Immortal Emperor with disgust and hatred; were they not aware that their strength was far below Dayan Immortal Emperor, they would have driven him away.
Dayan Immortal Emperor watched Zigong Immortal Emperor’s departing figure, his eye corners twitching rapidly, the fire within him rising.
"I, the Immortal Emperor, personally coming, how can I return empty-handed? Let’s take one away first!"
With these words, Dayan Immortal Emperor conjured an Immortal Qi Palm in the air, reaching for Lianyue Fairy beside Fairy Minyue.
His action was incredibly swift; by the time Zigong Immortal Emperor reacted, the Immortal Qi Palm was already above Lianyue Fairy’s head.
Dayan Immortal Emperor’s insight was extraordinary; he had already noticed Lianyue Fairy possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, with an exceptional aura, making her stand out among the young generation disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall.
Most importantly, this Female Immortal’s age was extremely small, and her Immortal Qi was pure, the type of talented disciple Flying Swan Immortal Emperor favored the most.
If he could capture this Female Immortal and bring her back, it would serve as a accounted task for Flying Swan Immortal Emperor.
"Lianyue, watch out!"
Fairy Minyue beside Lianyue Fairy was shocked to see the Immortal Qi Palm descending and immediately summoned an Immortal Bow to counter it.
Her cultivation level was just one realm lower than Dayan Immortal Emperor, but the difference in combat power was substantial, not at the same level at all.
"Boom!"
With a resounding explosion, Fairy Minyue’s arms broke, her Immortal Artifact damaged, blood spraying wildly, unable to withstand the strike of the Immortal Qi Palm, she fell to the ground below.
Upon first contact, Fairy Minyue was severely wounded, while watching Lianyue Fairy about to fall into the Immortal Qi Palm, all disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall closed their eyes, unable to bear watching.
"Scoundrel!"
Zigong Immortal Emperor’s eyes blazed with rage, instantly summoning an Immortal Bow to his hand, rapidly drawing and shooting an arrow at the Immortal Qi Palm, hoping to disperse it and prevent Lianyue Fairy from falling into his hands.
Dayan Immortal Emperor’s Sea of Consciousness flickered, a massive iron fan flew out, colliding with the arrow shot by Zigong Immortal Emperor.
The arrow could not withstand the iron fan, dissipating and vanishing.
The Immortal Qi Palm remained unobstructed, continuing to descend.
"Lianyue, run!"
Zigong Immortal Emperor, seeing Lianyue Fairy standing there motionless, seemingly terrified into stupidity, anxiously stomped and roared.
Not far from Lianyue Fairy, a flash of lightning swiftly appeared beside her before the Immortal Qi Palm could grasp Lianyue Fairy.
"Get lost!"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a Blood Blade emitting intense evil qi, slashed out a dazzling and stunning blade light that struck the Immortal Qi Palm.
The flash of blood from the slash, though it didn’t cause the Immortal Qi Palm to "get lost," did halt its downward momentum, merely ten feet above Lianyue Fairy’s head.
Originally, with the Immortal Qi Palm descending, under the overwhelming pressure, Lianyue Fairy couldn’t even straighten her waist, having to bend her knees and bow.
However, after the blood light stopped the Immortal Qi Palm from continuing to descend, she felt the pressure on her body lessen significantly, relieved, breathing out a sigh of relief.
She initially thought it was Dayan Immortal Emperor’s conscience realizing his wrong, withdrawing his attack.
But upon closer inspection, it was not the opponent’s conscience but an Immortal protecting her by holding up a space to shield her.
