Chapter 265: Who Sinks?

Chapter 265 – Who Sinks and Sinks
The news was brought back, leaving all those who heard it stunned.

Among the various sects, the Orifice Practicing Realm already belonged to the mainstay of existence, and the loss of a single one was a matter of breaking bones.

Within Immortal Cloud City, some of the slightly smaller sects might only have one or two Orifice Practicing Realms. If they lost one, their sects might be in danger of being wiped out.

Such was the case with the Orifice Practicing Realm, and the Harmonizing Orifice Realm, that was even more of an existence that suppressed the entire sect’s Qi. The reason why the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could suppress thousands of miles in a radius was that its strong overall strength was one aspect, but the most crucial was because the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect possessed a strong Harmonization Realm practitioner.

One person makes a sect, and the Harmonization Realm possesses such strength and power.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had two Harmonization Realm powerhouses, and with this kind of strength, the sects around the Immortal Cloud City could only bow down and submit to them, because there was no possibility for you to resist.

If the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was pissed off, one person at the Harmonization Realm would be enough to sweep away a sect. This was true for the Changhong Sect, and it was also true for the Yuanchen Sword Sect, there would not be a second possibility, even if you guarded the mountain gate it would be useless.

The Yuan Chen Sword Sect had top notch formations, and even a Spirit Locking Pagoda to deter them, but none of them were very good for the Harmonization Realm.

If the Harmonization Realm wanted to really come to the door, it wasn’t to block you in the sect and not allow you to come out. Instead, they would forcefully shatter the formation, break the Spirit Locking Tower, and wipe out the entire Yuan Chen Sword Sect.

The Harmonization Realm was what possessed such strength, and no one in the sects surrounding Immortal Cloud City had ever doubted this.

But now, the Harmonization Realm that suppressed the sect’s qi had actually died a death. Even though the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect still had another Harmonization Realm, such a blow still caused the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to be somewhat unable to regain their senses.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was unable to return to their senses, and the same was true for the sects around Immortal Cloud City.

And as the news continued to gather, what happened that day was gradually restored to the eyes of everyone.

At that time, the Divine Flame Sect was indeed blocked on Taiyan Mountain by an alliance of various sects, and the battle was so scorching that every day, many people at the Viscera Practicing Realm died, and even if they were at the Orifice Practicing Realm, they could be seriously injured if they weren’t careful.

But the overall trend was still that the alliance of factions had an absolute advantage, it was just that if they wanted to really wipe out the Divine Flame Faction, the losses of the factions would definitely not be small.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, as the leader, couldn’t possibly hide in the back and command without taking the field themselves. Although the main losses were still in the other sects, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had, to a greater or lesser extent, lost disciples.

Of the six lost at the Realm of Practicing Aperture, one was from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

In this situation, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Harmonized Orifices Realm stepped in. One person topping a sect, the Harmonized Orifices Realm had such confidence and strength, plus the fact that all the people from the various sects’ alliances were at Taiyan Mountain.

Under normal circumstances, it would probably only take a few hours to sweep away all of the Divine Flame Sect’s people.

And when the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Harmonized Orifices Realm powerhouses arrived at Taiyan Mountain and joined the battle, things did develop in this direction.

“Sweeping all the way across, without a single enemy!”

Zhou Cunshan recalled the scene at that time with awe for the Harmonization Realm in his eyes. Of the three Harmonized Aperture Realm realms that traveled to Taiyan Mountain, True Transmission Hall Master Zhou Cunshan went there and saw the entire scene at that time.

“Then what exactly happened afterward?” Qu Qingsheng said in a deep voice.

“The Divine Flame Sect’s people retreated, and even though several people of the Aperture Practicing Realm attacked together, they were all swept away by a single move from Xin Zhiqing. It wasn’t until one person took advantage of the chaos and rushed to Xin Zhiqing’s face, handing out a sword.”

Zhou Cunshan recalled that sword and his figure trembled slightly, as if he had been pierced by that sword as well. That sword had directly sent everyone within a radius of several hundred meters flying, and the same was true for the Orifice Practicing Realm.

“Because of that sword, Xin Zhiqing died?” Seeing Zhou Cunshan lose his concentration, Wu Guangyin hurriedly asked after him in a low voice.

“Not dead, Xin Zhiqing avoided part of it. But both that sword and that person are too strong. All of us can only stand a few hundred meters away and cannot get close.”

Zhou Cunshan exhaled slightly and said in a deep voice, “That sword, is a magic treasure, gathering spirit to become a treasure, Xin Zhiqing couldn’t block that sword, and was seriously injured by the sneak attack, so ……”

Zhou Cunshan didn’t continue, but the Yuan Chen Sword Sect crowd present heard and understood how the scene that happened at that time.

Divine Flame had sent out a strong person of the Harmonization Realm and was holding a magic treasure to first sneak attack and then kill Xin Zhiqing face to face.

“Surprisingly, there is a magic treasure!”

The people present glanced at each other and were all somewhat silent. After spirit weapons, came magic treasures. The spirit swords of the vast majority of the people present only belonged to lower grade spirit weapons.

If Chen Fei upgraded his Qian Yuan Sword, he would only be going from a semi-spiritual weapon, to a lower grade spiritual weapon.

There were four grades of spirit weapons, the lower, middle, and upper extremes. The Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s Spirit Locking Pagoda, back when it was in the hands of that ancestor, was an extreme grade spirit weapon.

But with the things that Yuan Chen Sword Sect has encountered over the years, the Spirit Locking Tower has been guarded many times and has been broken, and there are not enough spirit materials and strength to repair the Spirit Locking Tower, resulting in today’s Spirit Locking Tower having degraded into an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Even so, the top grade spirit weapon’s spirit locking tower, the power it possessed was still amazing, back then at the time of the extreme grade spirit weapon, it was much more exaggerated than today.

Extreme Grade Spiritual Weapons were the strongest blades of other sects besides the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. As for things like magic treasures, the Yuan Chen Sword Sect actually had them in the past, as the Yuan Chen Sword Sect had sent out powerful people at the Harmonization Realm.

Back then, if there was no Harmonization Realm, it wouldn’t have left behind a technique of this level like the Yuan Chen Sword Code.

It was just that with the passing of the Harmonization Realm powerhouses and no new successor, then something like a magic treasure, losing it was an inevitable outcome, because you simply didn’t have the ability to hold onto it. Or rather, something like a magic treasure is a source of woe for sects without a Harmonization Realm, and they would rather not have it, so as not to be missed.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect naturally had magic treasures as well, the hegemon within a radius of thousands of miles, and with a strong person of the Harmonization Realm, how could they not have magic treasures.

However, it was very strange that Xin Zhiqing that day, did not bring his own magic treasure to Taiyan Mountain, only brought a very high quality spiritual weapon, and as a result, he was sneak attacked by the one from the Divine Flame Sect, and ended up dying in Taiyan Mountain.

Chen Fei stood at the back, listening to Zhou Cunshan’s narration with a stony expression.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had previously possessed two Harmonization Realm powerhouses, suppressing all disobedience in the surrounding area. But now that one of them had died, and with the Divine Yan Sect watching from the sidelines, the situation had become complicated all of a sudden.

It was rumored that Xin Zhiqing’s age was still only in his early two hundred years, and for the three hundred lifespan of the Harmonization Realm, Xin Zhiqing might not be unable to advance further in the future.

On the contrary, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s other Harmonization Realm Tong Zhongqiu, in fact, has not gone out for many years, has always been in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, rumored to be only twenty to thirty years away from its end.

It is precisely because of the nearness of the great limit, Tong Zhongqiu does not like to move around. And with the great limit approaching, a body’s combat power has inevitably declined.

Therefore, more often than not, there is a need for the Harmonization Realm to take action, or by Xin Zhiqing. After all, it is not the sect life and death, there is no need to let Tong Zhongqiu running around.

As a result, I didn’t expect the accident to come so suddenly. Or rather, it wasn’t an accident at all, but a trap carefully set by the Divine Flame Sect, waiting for the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Harmonization Realm to come to their door.

As long as the two didn’t come together, one alone, whether it was Tong Zhongqiu or Xin Zhiqing, it was probably hard to escape death.

Who would have thought that the Divine Flame Sect, which had been suppressed by the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect for so many years, would have a strong person of the Harmonization Realm appear. It would be fine if it was only the Harmonization Realm, but it was even holding a magic treasure.

With this kind of strength, coupled with a sneak attack with intent, whoever else came would probably have to be planted there.

After all, everyone’s perception of the Divine Flame Sect had already been fixed, and everyone felt that the Divine Flame Sect was nothing more than a mouse that could only hide in the shadows, and would not dare to let the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect catch its tail at all.

But wherever it was caught, the end would be a death. For so many years, this was the case every time.

Thoughts, all solidified and rigid!

“Fabulous!”

An elder in the main hall sighed, the sky was truly about to change. The Harmonization Realm held to take the magic treasure, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect no longer had any advantage against it.

Not only was there no advantage, if they really wanted to fight one-on-one head-on, Tong Zhongqiu was so old that it was a question of just how much strength he still had in the Harmonization Realm.

The only advantage the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had today was the mountain gate that it had operated for so many years. Even if a Harmonization Realm came with a magic treasure, Tong Zhongqiu would be able to repel it or even kill it.

But in the field, it would be really hard to tell who would win and who would lose.

“Senior Witch Brother, go to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.”

Qu Qingsheng turned his head to look at Wu Guangyin, the Xianyun Sword Sect had just lost a Harmonization Realm powerhouse, the Yuan Chen Sword Sect naturally couldn’t just pretend that they didn’t see anything, they definitely had to send someone to express their stance.

“Good!”

Witch Guangyin nodded, his figure flashed and disappeared into the main hall.

“An eventful fall! All of you have recently restrained the disciples under your doors, and don’t go out at will without anything else. This matter, it’s still far from being over!” Qu Qingsheng looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

The Divine Flame Sect had an extra Harmonization Realm member and had also pitted and killed Xin Zhiqing, the conflict between the Divine Flame Sect and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had long since reached an irreconcilable level.

“I honor the order of the Sect Leader!”

The crowd arched their hands in response, then exited the main hall one by one.

When Wu Guangyin arrived at the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect with the fastest speed, he realized that the entire atmosphere of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had changed. It was grave and mournful, while carrying a pang of anger.

Obviously Xin Zhiqing’s being pitted against him was unbearable and unacceptable to the lofty Immortal Cloud Sword Faction.

An outer sect elder received Wu Guangyin and took him away to the welcoming hall, where there were already people from other sects waiting.

Wu Guangyin and those people looked at each other for a moment, and all stood in silence within the hall.

A hundred miles away on Taiyan Mountain, at this moment, the remaining jubilation of the Divine Flame Sect on the mountain.

With Xin Zhiqing’s death, it meant that their Divine Flame Sect could finally stand in the sunlight. It might not even be known who would actually be in charge of Immortal Cloud City in the future.

Tong Zhongqiu was already approaching the limit of his lifespan, and within thirty years, if the Immortal Cloud Sword Faction did not produce a new Harmonization Realm, the future hegemonic power that would intimidate thousands of miles in a radius would be their Divine Flame Faction’s to make!
