In the sky above Dong Huai City, dozens of figures were flying over. Some were flying on swords, while others were flying on the wind.
The black-robed Northern Xuan Sect and the green-robed Eastern Emperor Sect were clearly divided into two camps.
When these forty to fifty top experts from the two sects gathered in the middle of the street of this city, the entire Dong Huai City seemed to have fallen into a high-intensity pressure.
The mortals had long since dispersed, hiding in their houses, not daring to come out.
As for those with low cultivation bases and rogue cultivators, they didn't dare to approach the central area and watched from afar.
The core disciples of the two sects gathered from all directions. They were already prepared to welcome their sect leaders and elders.
The Sect Leaders of the two sects, along with their elders, floated in the air. They didn't descend to the ground. They directly confronted each other, giving off an ethereal feeling.
In fact, being able to stay in the air for a long time was already a skill. To be able to stand steadily for a long time was even more of an expert.
The hundreds of disciples from the two sects on the ground all greeted the elders in the air.
At this time, the disciples on both sides were shouting loudly, afraid that they would lose face for their own sects.
"Welcome, Sect Leader Luo Xia!"
"Welcome, Sect Leader Yuxi!"
The sound waves could be said to rise and fall one after another. Before the real conversation between the upper echelons had even begun, the disciples below were already competing with each other.
After shouting for a full minute or so, they saw the two Sect Leaders waving their hands. Only then did the disciples below stand in their positions, not daring to make a sound.
There was a trace of heaviness in the air. After all, too many people had died from both sects in the past few days.
The disciples looked at each other across the street, and they could all smell a strong sense of hostility.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Xia, we haven't seen each other for three hundred years. You're still as elegant as ever!"
After a long silence, the Eastern Emperor Sect's Sect Leader, Daoist Yuxi, was the first to speak.
Daoist Yuxi had the bearing of a celestial crane. Although he had white hair, his face was rosy and he looked to be around fifty years old.
"Sect Leader Yuxi is the one who is hale and hearty," Daoist Master Sunset, who was wearing a jade crown and had a long black beard, replied with a smile. He looked to be in his forties and had a handsome appearance.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Xia, there's no need to say more about the reason why our two sects are gathered here today." Daoist Yuxi said with a solemn expression, "However, our Eastern Emperor Sect has recently discovered some problems …"
"The problem that Sect Leader Yuxi mentioned, we might have also discovered it." Adept Sunset's face also darkened.
Daoist Yuxi gestured with his hand, and Daoist Jade Chakram, who was beside him, stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "Several elders of our Eastern Emperor Sect have examined the corpses of the dead disciples.
I discovered that most of these disciples were killed by the Imperial Sword Art, and your sect's disciples were also killed by the same technique.
In other words, the killer is the same person. This person isn't helping any of the sects. Instead, he's using the conflict between our sects to fish in troubled waters and kill the disciples of our sects! "
"Not bad!" Adept Sunset nodded and said, "My sect's elders have already discovered that the majority of the dead disciples were not injured by the Eastern Emperor Sect's spells.
And this person's methods are not the absolute arts of our Bei Xuan Sect, so … I'm afraid this Black Lotus is not my disciple.
Even if he really is our sect's Dark Peak, his actions have already made him a traitor of our sect! If we find out, we will definitely not tolerate it!
"Very good, since the Bei Xuan Sect is also convinced, then we might as well temporarily turn hostility into friendship. First, we will find out who the killer is, and then we will get to the bottom of this!" Daoist Yuxi said with a sullen face.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking!" Adept Sunset also nodded seriously and said with a regretful expression, "This time, our two sects were too impulsive and fell into this person's trap.
If we had been a little more calm back then, we wouldn't have waited until so many disciples had died and three Earth Spirit Realm elders had been killed before we discovered this problem.
When the group of disciples below heard this, they were all stunned. They didn't expect that when the two Sect Leaders met, they wouldn't start a fight. Instead, they would capture and kill the Black Lotus Daoist together?
At this moment, among the group of rogue cultivators who were watching from afar, a figure wearing a black robe seemed to be in a panic. He hurriedly turned around and flew away on his flying sword.
This scene was naturally very eye-catching, because ordinary cultivators would want to finish watching such a big scene as soon as possible. Who would be in a hurry to leave?
Immediately, Daoist Yuxi, Adept Sunset, and the other experts immediately realized that something was wrong!
"That person, don't even think about leaving!"
Adept Sunset's figure transformed into an arc of lightning, instantly flying hundreds of meters away!
"Purple Firmament Profound Thunder!"
A purple thunderbolt appeared in his hand and he threw it at the black shadow!
"Clang!"
It was as if there was thunder in the sky. As soon as the Purple Firmament Profound Thunder flew out, it turned into a purple electric net that wanted to wrap around the entire black shadow!
After all, he was the head of the Northern Profound Sect with the cultivation of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. His strength was definitely not ordinary!
Seeing that his flying speed wasn't as fast as the lightning, the black shadow quickly turned around in the air, took out a sword, and directly swung out a golden sword intent in the air!
"Bam!"
The sword intent collided with the Purple Firmament Profound Thunder, shattering the electric net!
And with this turn of his body, Adept Sunset also saw that person's face!
"Black lotus!? It's really you!? "
Adept Sunset shouted loudly, his eyes filled with shock and anger. Of course he recognized his own disciple!
The Black Lotus Daoist snorted coldly. With a fierce look on his face, he was too lazy to say anything. He turned around and continued to run!
"Rascal!" Where are you going!? "Adept Sunset hurriedly chased after him.
When everyone heard that the black shadow was Black Lotus, they were all shocked. They never thought that this person would be so daring as to sneak into Dong Hui City and eavesdrop on the talks between the two sides.
However, it was a bit surprising that he was in such a hurry to escape. However, it was also possible that he was afraid, so he ran away like this.
After all, if the two sects started searching, he might not be able to escape.
No matter what the reason was, Adept Sunset had already said that this guy was Black Lotus. Furthermore, this person was actually able to block this Purple Firmament Profound Thunder. This was enough to prove that this person was undoubtedly the murderous Black Lotus!
"Evil thief Black Lotus!" Don't even think about escaping! Everyone from the Eastern Emperor Sect, listen to my orders and capture the Black Lotus! "
Daoist Yuxi hated this black lotus to the bone. After all, the death of an old and a young man in his family could have been caused by this person.
When the people from the Bei Xuan Sect saw that the Sect Leader had chased after them, they naturally had to follow suit.
In an instant, dozens of Spirit Creation Stage experts from the Bei Xuan Sect and the Eastern Emperor Sect attacked aggressively.
In the sky, a large number of flying swords, lightning, and Yimu Qi surged towards the black lotus, dyeing the sky in a strange and dazzling manner!
The Black Lotus Daoist hurriedly ran away, but as he ran, he had to turn around and block some of the attacks that he couldn't dodge with his sword intent. If this continued, it seemed that he would be caught at any moment.
In the eyes of many cultivators in Dong Hui City, this Black Lotus would not be able to escape death today!
Seeing that he was surrounded by danger and could be injured at any time, the Black Lotus Daoist suddenly turned around and shouted in panic, "You dare to hurt me!?" Aren't you afraid of offending the Heavenly Treasure Grandmaster!?
All of the cultivators were stunned. They stopped their attacks one by one, frowned, and looked at each other in dismay.
"Heavenly Treasure Grandmaster!?" Daoist Yuxi had a strange look on his face as he said, "Black Lotus, what do you mean?"
"Hmph hmph, do you think that I dare to kill without a backer?"
At this moment, Ye Fan, who had already disguised himself as a black lotus, arrogantly took out the black communication stone with the mark of the gold ingot. He looked at the people from the two sects with disdain and said, "As long as I send a message, the Heavenly Treasure Grandmaster will immediately send someone over!"
Seeing this communication stone, the cultivators of the two sects all had their eyes fixed on it, and their expressions were especially heavy.
