Chapter 1345: Crisis Averted
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Yu had been asked to help deal with Great Qin’s affairs, but he had no interest in them so he requested to go to Mount Li with Lu Zhou and the others.
The four elders of Mount Li were restrained on the deck to lead Yu Zhenghai to the mausoleum.
The 49 swordsmen guarded the flying chariot as it flew.
When it flew above Xiangyang City, many people looked up and sighed in admiration.
At this time, Lu Zhou sat in the cabin of the flying chariot and recited the mantra for the power of sight to observe the situation in the golden lotus domain and the yellow lotus domain.
…
After Duanmu Sheng received his master’s orders, he returned to the Unknown Land through a runic pa.s.sage in the green lotus domain. After flying for three days, he finally found Lu Wu. After that, he did not hesitate and used the Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman.
Under the protection of Qin Naihe; the Free Man, Shen Xi and Li Xiamo; the guardians of the Evil Sky Pavilion, everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion evacuated safely. Hence, when Duanmu Sheng and Lu Wu returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion, they found it was deserted. With that, the duo made their way to the Divine Capital.
When the duo arrived at the Divine Capital, it was on the verge of collapse under Bai Yi’s attack.
The four protectors of the Nether Sect were now the Guardians of Great Yan. They fought back with all their might. The Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council sent reinforcements as well. Apart from that, the Ten Grand Formation had been activated as well.
With this, the stalemate lasted for three days.
In a camp outside of the city.
Bai Yi gripped the sword tightly as he looked in the direction of Great Yan’s Divine Capital.
“General Bai, today is the third day of our siege. Our side has lost 40 men and the other side has lost more than 200 men.”
“General Bai, the barrier won’t last for long. We should seize the chance and break the formation now. If reinforcement from the Evil Sky Pavilion comes, it’ll be bad.”
Bai Yi said icily, “Then, let’s end this battle quickly. We’ll attack the city with all we have this afternoon.”
“Understood.”
…
When noon arrived, under Bai Yi’s lead, the cultivators surrounded the Divine Capital. Hundreds of capital hovered in the air.
In the city, cultivators from the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council rose up as well, ready to face the enemies.
Bai Yi said as he amplified his voice, “This is a decree from the heavens. I’ve been sent here on a sacred mission to cleanse the sins of the golden lotus domain. All of you should surrender.”
Bai Yi’s voice reverberated through the entire Divine Capital.
The common folks and the weak cultivators ran and hid.
At this moment, from the sky in the capital, another voice rang out loudly.
“General Bai, you’re really shameless. A mighty general is bullying the weak and talks about was.h.i.+ng the city with blood. However, up until now, I’ve not seen you make any progress.”
Bai Yi scoffed. “Qin Naihe, you traitor! What right do you have to talk to me? If you have the guts, come out and face me instead of hiding in the dark and shooting arrows at my back .”
During this time, the Divine Capital had not been conquered, and the enemy had only gained a small advantage. Much of this was all thanks to Qin Naihe.
Qin Naihe said with a smile, “Is there something wrong with your brain? If I can hide in the dark and shoot arrows at you, why would I come out? I’m sorry, but your provocation is useless. Also, are you able to protect all your men? If they’re alone, I’ll definitely kill them.”
“…”
Bai Yi said, furious, “Do you really think I can’t do anything?”
Bai Yi waved his hand.
About ten people gathered into a square formation and flew toward the Divine Capital.
The cultivators from the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council unleashed their energy swords and energy sabers at the sky from within the barrier.
The cultivators in the square formation manifested their astrolabes at the same time and used them to block the attacks like s.h.i.+elds.
“If you want to get close to the core of the formation, you’ll have to see if I agree to it or not,” Qin Naihe said as he rushed out with his gigantic avatar and unleashed energy seals.
Bai Yi leaped up and flew past the cultivators in the square formation on his sword toward Qin Naihe. “Your opponent is me!”
Before the two had a chance to exchange blows, arrows flew out in a line from the direction of the Imperial palace, hitting the enemies’ astrolabes with a loud bang. They only managed to stop the enemies for a moment before the enemies continued to advance.
At this time, Qin Naihe withdrew his avatar and flew back in the air. Then, he looked at Bai Yi and said with a smile, “Bai Yi, if you have the ability, then follow me!”
Bai Yi did not fall for the trap; he did not chase after Qin Naihe. Instead, he flew toward the cultivators in the square formation and pointed his sword at the city wall. “Continue!”
“General, there are sharpshooters ahead.”
“Ignore them. They’ve only just entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage,” Bai Yi said.
“Yes!”
Bai Yi and the others flew in the sky, looking down at the capital. It did not take long before they arrived above the Imperial palace.
Bai Yi ordered, “Attack with all your might!”
The dozen or so cultivators aimed their astrolabes at the barrier. Almost simultaneously, they unleashed the powers of their Birth Charts.
The attacks were extremely fierce. When they collided with the barrier, a loud explosion sounded, and the earth, mountains, and rivers shook in unison.
With that, the barrier of the Divine Capital shattered.
The cultivators on the ground retreated one after another while the members of the White Tower Council and the Black Tower Council flew to the sides.
Once the barrier was broken, enemies entered from all directions in a single file.
At this time, Qin Naihe turned back and launched countless energy fists.
Bai Yi shouted, “I’ve been waiting for you!”
The two of them immediately began to fight fiercely.
Light flashed above the Divine Capital as gusts of energy stirred up the clouds.
The cultivators in the square formation quickly surrounded Qin Naihe and began to chant a Buddhist mantra, sounding like the buzzing of mosquitoes. The sound affected the others immediately.
When Qin Naihe was distracted, Bai Yi charged out and thrust his sword.
Qin Naihe dodged and retreated.
The cultivators around Qin Naihe attacked him at the same time.
Boom!
Energy seals collided.
Qin Naihe flew back in the air. His arms were numb, and he felt as though his avatar was on the verge of appearing. He had only recovered his Birth Charts so his realm was not stable yet. It was indeed somewhat difficult to defeat Bai Yi and so many others by himself.
“I’ll kill you, you traitor, on behalf of the Venerable Master!” Bai Yi flew over with his sword again.
Qin Naihe continued to fly back, looking for a chance to counterattack. However, Bai Yi’s combat experience was very rich. It was hard to find an opportunity to strike.
At the critical moment, a golden light streaked across the sky…
Bang!
The golden light landed on Bai Yi’s sword before it landed on the ground with another loud boom.
“A spear?”
Everyone looked at the sky behind Qin Naihe in confusion. Due to the dark sky from the abnormally gloomy weather, they could not see clearly. However, when the clouds parted, they saw a humongous head in the sky.
A muscular man stood on the head, looking at everyone with an icy gaze.
At this time, the huge head suddenly asked, “Are these puny weaklings worthy of me personally making a move?”
“…”
“L-Lu… Lu Wu?!” Bai Yu exclaimed as his mind went blank.
Swoos.h.!.+
Lu Wu opened its mouth as a cold air swept out.
The cultivators in the square formation were frozen in less than the time it took for one to blink one’s eyes. One by one, they dropped from the sky.
Qin Naihe. “…”
Bai Yi was about to break free from Ice Seal when Lu Wu’s humongous paw descended from the sky.
Boom!
The paw slammed Bai Yi down the ground.
That was not the end…
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Wu kept smacking its paw at Bai Yi, smas.h.i.+ng him into the ground until he was unable to move and blood was splattered everywhere.
Lu Wu shook its head. “Young Master, don’t you think this is a waste of my power?”
Qin Naihe and Duanmu Sheng. “…”
…
Once Lu Zhou saw Lu Wu’s arrival, he stopped observing the golden lotus domain. Then, he checked in on Zhu Honggong.
At this moment, Zhu Honggong was lying in bed, wrapped up like a dumpling.
