Chapter 806: Chapter 796: Look Down

As expected, the allied forces of the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect encountered the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision, which had received news and pursued from behind, within the Tiger Mouth Gorge!

Tiger Mouth Gorge is located north of Red Fire Martial City, named for its tiger-mouth-like shape, and is eighty miles away from the Spirit Crystal Vein Defense Zone of the Red Fire Subdivision. It is a necessary route to reach the Spirit Crystal Vein Defense Zone of the Red Fire Subdivision.

When the main defensive force of the Red Fire Subdivision set out from Red Fire Martial City, the vanguard of the allied forces from the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect had just passed through Tiger Mouth Gorge, receiving reports from scouts ahead.

The intention of the allied forces from the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect was to draw out the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision and engage in battle in the wild; thus, upon receiving this news, they halted their advance. The vanguard switched with the rear guard, forming battle lines in the twenty-mile-wide, fifty-mile-long Tiger Mouth Gorge, preparing to confront the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision.

Talisman Communications flew back and forth, and not long after, when scouts reported that the main force of the Red Fire Subdivision was only thirty miles from Tiger Mouth Gorge, the Brotherhood’s warriors, hired at great expense by the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect, arrived on time!

Frankly, the cost of hiring the Brotherhood was painful for the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net, but upon seeing the Brotherhood’s leader arrive with over eighty followers and five hundred Soul Sea Realm martial artists, both the Five God Generals’ Ren Tiannan, the Eight Divine Generals’ Pan Feng, and Heavenly Net Sect’s Shang Lingqi and Jih Xuan were excited!

They knew the Brotherhood warriors present represented almost ninety percent of the Brotherhood’s strength.

The cost they paid earlier for Yuen An to bring ninety percent of his warriors to participate in the battle was truly worthwhile!

“Brother Ye, long time no see!”

From afar, upon spotting Ye Zhen, Shang Lingqi’s expression changed sharply, yet he smiled as he approached. Despite the smile, his eyes were filled with fire!

Shang Lingqi vividly remembered the near-death experience at the Spirit Returning Assembly over a year ago, which left him filled with hatred. If things had been slightly different, his bright future would have ended at Ye Zhen’s hands.

Moreover, due to those injuries, latent ailments lingered, and the Heavenly Net Sect Leader Wug Mengshan had to spend a significant sum to acquire the Spiritual Medicine from the Outer Domain Dead Sea to heal him, which also boosted his Cultivation from the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!

For the past year, Shang Lingqi had seen Ye Zhen as an imagined rival in his arduous Cultivation, but had never had the opportunity to confront him again, until now!

Ye Zhen was not surprised to see Shang Lingqi, yet the Cultivation aura Shang Lingqi exuded took him slightly aback. “It’s been over a year, and I didn’t expect Brother Shang to advance further in Cultivation!”

“Likewise!”

“Ye Zhen, your rapid growth is truly astonishing! Had I known you would ascend to such heights, I would have risked injury to kill you at the Heavenly Spirit auction over a year ago!” Pan Feng, of the Eight Divine Generals, approached, his gaze complexly fixed on Ye Zhen.

The conflict between the Longevity Sect and Ye Zhen began over two years ago; the sect had thoroughly investigated, and it all started when three Guardian Masters within the sect took a liking to Ye Zhen’s demon servant, the Cloud Winged Tiger King. At that time, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was merely at the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage Peak!

Yet, against all odds, Ye Zhen matured into a Third Stage powerhouse of the Vein Forging Realm within a mere two years, and the inconspicuous demon servant grew into a Spirit Tier Beast.

If he’d known, the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng might have cleaned house, either recruiting Ye Zhen or simply eliminating him!

But there is no rewind in life!

To date, the Longevity Sect has paid a hefty price because of this seemingly minor adversary, Ye Zhen. Two elite members of the sect, Yang Zhengxi and Lio Kechu, perished because of him, and there are even signs that the missing Guardian Sect Commander Duan Yingnian was also a victim of Ye Zhen!

Not to mention how previous skirmishes and the Demon Cloud Fruit rumor caused significant losses to the Longevity Sect!

The Five God Generals’ Ren Tiannan was even more direct; upon seeing Ye Zhen, his aura locked onto him. Were it not for Ye Zhen’s fearsome mentor, a terror-inducing Establishment King, and the possibility of violent retaliation, Ren Tiannan might have already made his move!

“Regrettably, there’s no way to buy regret potions, isn’t that so, Divine General Pan?” Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes, speaking as he looked at Shang Lingqi with a face full of regret.

“Mr. Shang, Elder Jih, the Longevity Sect and our Sun and Moon Divine Sect are sworn enemies, making conflicts inevitable. But why should you and the Heavenly Net Sect get involved?

In such matters, one wrong step could cost you your lives, so I advise you to reconsider. It’s not too late to withdraw now…. ”

“What a joke!”

Before Ye Zhen could finish, the Demon Sound Gold Blade behind Shang Lingqi suddenly lifted, and the hundred-zhang-long Sword Gang pointed straight at Ye Zhen. “Ye Zhen, if you know what’s good for you, surrender and join our Heavenly Net Sect. It’s your only chance for survival. Otherwise, today’s the day you’ll die!”

“Roar!”

Provoked by Shang Lingqi’s Sword Gang, the little Cloud Winged Tiger King on Ye Zhen’s chest suddenly poked its head out, letting out an intimidating roar. The roar made the air ripple like waves, shaking Shang Lingqi’s Sword Gang violently!

Instantly, Shang Lingqi, Jih Xuan, Pan Feng, Ren Tiannan, and others across from him turned pale from the kitten’s roar.

Almost simultaneously, four extremely powerful auras descended from high in the sky, locking tightly onto the Kitten.

As the Kitten revealed itself, it startled the hidden Establishment King level experts from the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect, including two Hall Masters comparable to Establishment Kings.

Ye Zhen was unconcerned, and with a thought, he let the Kitten leap out from his arms, landing on Ye Zhen’s shoulder. The Kitten’s emergence frightened Shang Lingqi, Pan Feng, and others, causing them to rapidly retreat for fear that the Cloud Winged Tiger King, with strength similar to an Establishment King, would seize the opportunity to attack them!

Simultaneously, the four powerful figures whose auras just appeared, descended from the clouds, revealing their True Bodies.

Once these four manifested, their imposing Establishment King pressures, or spirit pressures close to that level, poured downward. The large numbers of Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists from both factions struggled to maintain their positions, each descending from the sky to regain stability!

These four, however, did not make any moves; instead, more Divine Senses scanned the surrounding void, clearly on guard against Ye Zhen’s legendary master, True Person Black Water!

The fearsome power previously shown by True Person Black Water was too terrifying, and these four appeared mainly to deal with him and Ye Zhen’s Spirit Tier demon servant, the Kitten!

Upon seeing these four intense figures suppress the scene, the previously shaken Divine General Pan Feng relaxed his expression and demanded sternly, “Ye Zhen, see this? Today, your defeat is inevitable!

If you’re wise, our Longevity Sect can offer you a high position, even for your master, True Person Black Water, it’s not impossible for him to become part of our Longevity Sect…..”

“Nonsense, inevitable defeat? Which eye of yours saw that?” Ye Zhen rudely cut off Pan Feng’s words, sneering!

“Are you referring to the four figures above, or this group of people behind you?” Ye Zhen pointed above, then gestured ahead!

Before Pan Feng could finish, Ye Zhen sneered again, “Those four above, do you think they can deal with my master and my demon servant, the Kitten?”

“They can’t keep your master, but what about that treasure?” Pan Feng smiled smugly, casually pointing towards the Brotherhood’s camp.

A flash of brilliance surged, and an aura that tremors the soul rose from within the Brotherhood’s ranks. Sect Master Yuen An held in his hand a three-meter-sized Demon-Annihilating General, atop which ten Five Elements Spiritual Arrows, created with High Grade Attribute Spirit Crystals, shimmered with terrifying energy!

Upon the emergence of the Demon-Annihilating General, Sect Master Yuen An’s Divine Soul Aura locked onto the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, causing the Kitten to emit a sound of unease, sensing the terror of the Demon-Annihilating General!

However, no one noticed the fleeting trace of unease in Sect Master Yuen An’s eyes as he glanced at Ye Zhen’s face.

Luckily, the request from the Longevity Sect and Heavenly Net Sect was for Yuen An to use the Demon-Annihilating General to target Ye Zhen’s demon servant, Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten. Had they asked Yuen An to aim it at Ye Zhen, he wouldn’t dare to do so even with Ye Zhen’s consent!

“Demon-Annihilating General?”

Ye Zhen, acting surprised, changed his expression, causing Pan Feng and Shang Lingqi’s faces to finally show a hint of triumph!

“Lord Ye, what do you think?”

“Nothing but a Demon-Annihilating General; it absolutely can’t kill my master and the Kitten!”

“It might not kill, but it can definitely trap them! Once they’re trapped, this battle is ours, and once we gain the upper hand, we can spare some ten Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists to join the fight and easily annihilate them!”

Pan Feng became more and more delighted, “Ye Zhen, if you don’t want you and your master to die miserably, it’s best to surrender to our Longevity Sect now; we can overlook the past…”

Actually, the idea of recruiting Ye Zhen on the battlefield came from the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng, since the benefits of recruiting were too tempting. Not mentioning Ye Zhen’s own abilities and the many Martial Artists he had just recruited, if his master, True Person Black Water, joined the Longevity Sect as well, the advantages would be astonishing!

However, before Pan Feng finished speaking, Ye Zhen sneered again.

“Divine General Pan, you might as well stop dreaming your Spring-Autumn dreams! Actually, your words should be reversed! If those people above can’t defeat my master and my demon servant within fifteen minutes, we will win, and then we can spare ten Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists to easily defeat those four in the sky!” Ye Zhen laughed, casually pointing towards the sky!

“Impossible!”

“Dream on!” Pan Feng and Shang Lingqi shouted in unison!

“Nothing is impossible!” Ye Zhen casually snapped his fingers loudly, then lazily pointed towards Tiger Mouth Gorge below, “Look down; what’s that?”

The moment they glanced down, Pan Feng and Shang Lingqi’s expressions both drastically changed! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
