Kuyu Daoist shook his head.

It's still the same rhetoric as tens of thousands of years ago.

At first glance, these words seem reasonable. Back then, Iron Feather Daoist was nearly fooled, but it was Chi Cheng Daoist, the "Red Text General Trembling the Mighty Wind Drum," who informed him that Kuyu Daoist was speaking nonsense and making a fool of him.

This time.

How could he be fooled again?

Iron Feather Daoist's face instantly turned cold, and he said harshly, "Fellow Daoist, don't try to deceive me. Back then, your disciple first snatched my junior brother's Spiritual Medicine, and later used the 'Five Decays Talisman' you bestowed to ambush him. It was your Eternal Youth Sect's fault, causing my junior brother to suffer for tens of thousands of years. If you don't remove the Five Decays this time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Eternal Youth Sect was determined to shirk responsibility.

Kuyu Daoist was as stubborn as a rock.

Iron Feather Daoist could no longer bear it, his aura surged, directly pressuring Kuyu Daoist.

"Hmph!"

"You think that entering the Tianpeng Water Mansion allows you to behave recklessly in my Eternal Youth Sect?!"

Kuyu Daoist was not afraid at all.

Behind him was Shangchun Daoist, the Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun, and he wouldn't be scared by a mere Water Mansion clerk. Analyzing it carefully, the conflict this time was for the Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun. If something were to happen, he wouldn't be left unaided.

No fear at all.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"In that case, let's have a match first!"

Iron Feather Daoist was extremely angry.

As soon as he spoke.

Clang!

The Magic Sword emerged!

The Sword Intent was fierce, its light dazzling. This sword was called the 'Taiyi Tiangang Sword,' made from a single piece of 'Taiyi Tiangang Stone,' and was a Fourth-rank Immortal Device.

Lu Qingfeng discovered it in the Tianpeng Water Mansion Treasury.

Given to Iron Feather Daoist for self-defense.

This former teacher of his had not yet reached two thousand years since advancing to Earth Immortal and followed the path of 'Blessed Land Creation Earth Immortal,' with shallow foundations and slow Dao ability progress.

With the 'Taiyi Tiangang Sword' in hand, he need not fear those veteran Earth Immortals.

His combat power greatly increased.

Coming this time, Iron Feather Daoist's confidence was not only in his own Divine Position but also in the backing of Tianpeng True Monarch, and this 'Taiyi Tiangang Sword' was also one of Iron Feather Daoist's sources of confidence.

He had already decided that if words failed, he would resort to action.

Seeing that negotiations were impossible.

He held back no longer.

"A newly promoted Earth Immortal of less than two thousand years, and you dare to challenge me?!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

Kuyu Daoist sneered as Iron Feather Daoist indeed wanted to make a move.

Seeing the sword light approaching, Kuyu Daoist made a gesture, and a flash of cold light appeared.

"Swift!"

The cold light flickered.

Golden-red light burst forth.

Clang!

It collided with the sword light, unable to break through it, revealing its traces—

It turned out to be a 'hook'-shaped Magic Artifact.

Fu Daoist, witnessing this from the side, reminded Iron Feather Daoist, "Daoist Brother, be careful. This is Kuyu's old Daoist's long-refined Immortal Device, the 'Broken Jade Hook,' capable of cutting through gold and jade."

The Broken Jade Hook!

This was refined by Kuyu Daoist using Taiyi Essence and Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Crystal. With this hook on his person, at the thought, it could fly out to fend off attacks.

Only seeing Kuyu Daoist's thoughts turn, silently utilizing the Xuan Technique, wherever his mind aimed, the returning Broken Jade Hook transformed into two hooks of intense golden-red brilliance, flying out together, heading straight for Iron Feather Daoist.

Swifter than lightning, the treasure was extremely formidable, and being at such a close distance, such a sudden assault would surprise most with great power and make them difficult to resist.

"The Broken Jade Hook."

Iron Feather Daoist's face also turned serious.

Holding the 'Taiyi Tiangang Sword,' he performed the Luo Fu Sword Technique, enveloping himself in an impermeable defense. Though the 'Broken Jade Hook' was described as powerful, it was only a First-rank Immortal Device.

The Fourth-rank against the First-rank.

Despite the rank disparity, Iron Feather Daoist and Kuyu Daoist found themselves closely matched in battle!

To the side.

"The Five Decays Talisman failed to kill you, and yet you've managed to become an Earth Immortal. Truly, your fate is great."

Xingyun Daoist sneered at Fu Daoist, saying, "Why come to court death again?"

Before the words were fully spoken.

He raised his hand, unleashing a flurry of sword lights, enveloping Fu Daoist.

"Too much bullying!"

Resentment and anger surged in Fu Daoist's heart, and he hurriedly raised his quasi-immortal sword to face this Xingyun Daoist.

However, the sword held by Xingyun Daoist was an immortal sword, and he cultivated the wonderful method of the Eternal Youth Sect. His sword technique was also the high-grade method that Shang Chun Daoist and Kuyu Daoist had explored in the Earth Immortal World for hundreds of thousands of years.

In contrast, Fu Daoist.

His sword is a quasi-immortal device.

His swordsmanship is mediocre.

The sword technique he cultivated was a common method he found in the Red Smoke Realm. Placed in the Earth Immortal World, among Earth Immortals, it couldn't even be called average.

Truly deplorable.

Not to mention.

He is afflicted by the 'Five Decays Curse,' his primordial spirit, mana, and body all weakening. Over the years he has struggled to cope, his foundation nearly depleted.

Layers of disadvantage accumulate.

Fu Daoist could be considered the weakest Earth Immortal in history.

Even when he became an Earth Immortal for tens of thousands of years, he might still not be a match against those newly ascended Earth Immortals.

Let alone Xingyun Daoist who ascended even earlier than him.

Upon facing him.

He immediately fell into a complete disadvantage.

Xingyun Daoist smiled, casually attacking with one hand holding the sword, while secretly activating the 'Five Decays Curse,' exacerbating Fu Daoist's injuries.

"Pfft!"

Not long after.

Fu Daoist spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood.

His clothes were filthy!

His hair wilted!

Sweat flowed from his armpits!

His body stank!

He grew weary and impatient!

The Heavenly Person Five Decays manifested all at once.

Fu Daoist instantly became a ghostly figure, unpleasant and disgusting to behold, as if abandoned by the world, his energy weakened.

Xingyun Daoist freely wielded his power, laughing heartily, "Afflicted by the 'Five Decays Curse,' even the most ordinary True Immortal of my Eternal Youth Sect can trigger the curse and beat you easily. Who gave you the guts to confront me?!"

The laughter was piercing.

Fu Daoist's heart was filled with malice.

He knew full well.

Reason dictates that after becoming an Earth Immortal, even if he couldn't rival Kuyu Daoist, Shang Chun Daoist, or Xingyun Daoist, those ordinary disciples of the Eternal Youth Sect should be at his mercy.

But the truth was——

He couldn't even contend with a random True Immortal from the Eternal Youth Sect.

Even those Primordial Spirit Practitioners could worsen his injuries. Therefore, over the years, he couldn't even retaliate against the Eternal Youth Sect, instead, he had to avoid them, as well as Earth Immortals, True Immortals, and Primordial Spirits.

A dignified Earth Immortal.

Reduced to utter misery.

This confrontation with Xingyun Daoist was even more unbearable.

"Junior Brother."

Iron Feather Daoist was fiercely battling Kuyu Daoist, when he suddenly heard Xingyun Daoist's laughter and smelled the stench of decay. Turning to look, he saw Fu Daoist in a pitiful state, about to collapse.

He was utterly enraged.

Forcefully suppressing it.

Seeing he couldn't subdue Kuyu Daoist soon, and worried about Fu Daoist's plight, he dared not continue the fight, hurriedly wielding the 'Taiyi Tiangang Sword,' deflecting Kuyu Daoist, then leapt and transformed into a sword, forcing Xingyun Daoist away.

"Let's go!"

He took Fu Daoist along and rushed out of Canglan Mountain.

"Where are you going?!"

Xingyun Daoist was unwilling, ready to pursue.

"Don't chase a cornered foe."

"This Fu Daoist is a waste; no need to worry about him."

Kuyu Daoist reached out to stop him, frowned and said, "Iron Feather Daoist has actually joined the Tianpeng Water Mansion, I wonder what path he took, and what position 'Master of Water Boundary Change Sand Above Officer' is. We mustn't be careless about this, quickly go to the Primordial Monarch Palace and report these matters to your Uncle Shang Chun, let him make the decision."

Xingyun Daoist glanced at the sword light fleeing and disappearing.

"Understood!"

Quickly nodded in agreement.

Immediately.

He controlled his sword, heading straight for the Primordial Monarch Palace.
