CHAPTER 1558: CHAPTER 1557: THE FOUR GREAT SECTS ATTACK

Landing on the stone platform, flying to the mountaintop temple, they had just exited the temple when Su Yang and his group heard the sound of a battle cry.

"Long Yi, our target is only Su Yang! Hand over Su Yang, and we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, we’ll level your Great Might Dragon Gate!"

A voice echoed in the air, and Su Yang heard it clearly—it was the voice of the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect.

Su Yang had been wondering why this group hadn’t come after them. Now it seemed they weren’t absent, just late, and now they were starting their siege.

Five teachers from Qinghe Academy had already rushed out, all coming to Su Yang’s side, determined to protect him.

"Junior brother, protect Alliance Leader Su!" Long Yi commanded with a low voice, flying straight into the air, and said solemnly, "Second Elder, our Great Might Dragon Gate has no grievances with your Medicine Sect. What is the meaning of this?"

A figure walked out from the mist in the sky; it was indeed the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect.

The Second Elder wore a face of smugness, sneering loudly, "No grievances? Hmph, your Great Might Dragon Gate has certainly wronged me. However, I’m magnanimous and can’t be bothered to settle these matters with you. My goal is Su Yang. Hand him over, and all past grudges are forgotten!"

Long Yi frowned, saying in a deep voice, "Alliance Leader Su is here to help our Great Might Dragon Gate, and we are responsible for his safety. Second Elder, by bringing people to attack us, do you really think our Great Might Dragon Gate is so easy to bully?"

"Whether your Great Might Dragon Gate is easy to bully, I don’t know. But some things remain unclear until after a fight!" The Second Elder sneered. "Moreover, today, it’s not just us from the Medicine Sect. Soaring Cloud Hall, Heavenly Blade Peak, and Horizon’s End also want you to hand over Su Yang. Long Yi, I advise you to reconsider. No matter how strong Great Might Dragon Gate is, it’s unlikely a match for our Four Great Sects, right? For the sake of one Su Yang, is it worth letting the thousand-year legacy of Great Might Dragon Gate be destroyed?"

As the Second Elder spoke, three more figures came out of the sky, representing those three sects.

One of them was indeed Ki Yongchuan, who wore an arrogant, wild expression, shouting loudly, "Why waste words with them, make them hand over Su Yang immediately. Otherwise, we’ll attack your Great Might Dragon Gate and destroy your thousand-year foundation!"

Immediately, there was an uproar within Great Might Dragon Gate below. If it were just the Medicine Sect attacking, they wouldn’t be too concerned. After all, the Medicine Sect’s strength is considered the weakest within the Ten Great Sects.

But now, with these four sects attacking together, the situation turned problematic. One-on-one, Great Might Dragon Gate feared none of these four, but facing all four combined, Great Might Dragon Gate definitely isn’t a match!

Long Yi’s face turned cold; he realized that these four sects were fully prepared. The joint assault of the Four Great Sects was premeditated, and it’s undoubtedly challenging for Great Might Dragon Gate to deal with them!

However, Long Yi had no intention of handing over Su Yang. No matter what, Great Might Dragon Gate was now aligned with Su Yang, and with Little Turtle closely following Su Yang, if Su Yang were in danger, Little Turtle would certainly be in peril too.

The Great Might Dragon Gate might disregard Qinghe Academy and Su Zhan, but fundamentally, since it was established after the Azure Dragon, its mission has always been to be the Azure Dragon’s stronghold in the Human Realm, to protect the Azure Dragon’s descendants. Little Turtle, being an Azure Dragon descendant, cannot be allowed to face any danger.

"Gentlemen, Alliance Leader Su represents the Ten Great Sects, as well as Qinghe Academy, and arguably, the entire Human Realm. In acting this way, are you intending to go against the entire Human Realm?" Long Yi said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha..." Ki Yongchuan laughed out loud, "Long Yi, don’t make it sound so frightening. What ability does that Su person have to represent the entire Human Realm? Besides your six spineless sects and those stubborn old mules from Qinghe Academy, who else supports him? We four sects, considering for all cultivators of the Human Realm, are the true representatives of the entire Human Realm!"

Long Yi said solemnly, "Previously, Mr. Su Zhan contacted the Ten Great Sects, and all Superlunary Sects and Clans, to jointly resist the Heavenly Court, in order to guard the rules of heaven and earth. And now, you want to change these rules, which clearly intends to throw the Human Realm into chaos. Such intentions, and yet you dare claim to represent the Human Realm?"

"Long Yi, stop talking nonsense!" shouted the Master of Tiandao Peak, "Either hand over Su Yang or we fight. Our Four Great Sects’ members are all here; do you still think you can scare us away?"

At his words, several individuals burst into sneering laughter, their faces full of pride, looking at the people of Great Might Dragon Gate below as if they were looking at the dead. After all, the Four Great Sects were fully prepared, and they could completely crush Great Might Dragon Gate!

Long Yi’s face turned icy cold, gritting his teeth he said, "As I said earlier, Alliance Leader Su is a guest of our Great Might Dragon Gate, hence under our protection. It is impossible to hand him over!"

Down below, Su Yang was looking up at the figures in the sky, and hearing Long Yi’s words, he couldn’t help but feel shaken.

He knew very well that his presence didn’t hold much weight in Great Might Dragon Gate. Long Yi’s stance was because of Little Turtle.

Su Yang didn’t expect that the people of Great Might Dragon Gate would be so loyal to the descendants of the Azure Dragon. It seems this sect is truly trustworthy!

"Long Yi, you really have no fear until you see the coffin!" the Second Elder shouted coldly, "Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being merciless. Come, attack the mountain!"

With those words, the Second Elder vanished into the mist, followed by the other three stepping back alongside him.

With a grave expression, Long Yi immediately landed on the ground, commanding, "Activate the Mountain-Protecting Great Array!"

Wu Zheng had been preparing ahead of time, and upon hearing this, he immediately flew into the air, waved his hand, and a cyan flag flew out from the mountain, landing in his grasp.

Following that, more than a dozen figures flew out from the mountain, scattering into various positions in the air. Each held a cyan flag, waving it in the wind.

Su Yang below could see clearly that, although scattered seemingly at random, the positions of these individuals connected to form a sprawling, twisting giant dragon!

As they waved their flags in the air, the mountain emitted swirling cyan mist, gradually forming in the sky, linking these individuals, and turning into an azure giant dragon!

Though this dragon wasn’t corporeal, Su Yang could nonetheless tell that it represented the Azure Dragon’s form!
