At the peak of a mountain, four Daoists were standing in a pavilion. They looked around and saw rain falling down from the sky. Tall pine trees grew all the way down the mountain, and there were several trees growing along the steep cliffs. The sound of rain and waves could be heard, as the wind ruffled the robes of the Daoists. From time to time, there would be people going up and down the mountain, as though they were observing the situation. There were others who were constructing altars.
Some of the Daoist arts were vibrating.
A talisman lit up as a middle aged Daoist spoke out, "Free Cloud Sect's Paradise has been breached. Should we lend a hand?"
"Let's wait and see what happens. If Free Cloud Sect is defeated, we have to destroy the altars and kill these people. We cannot let Dark Altar Sect take over Paradise." A Daoist spoke out, he looked delicate and pretty.
"I didn't expect Dark Altar Sect to have such wild ambitions. They actually sent out an Earth Immortal clone to take over Free Cloud Sect." Another Daoist spoke out, he looked delicate and pretty.
When the middle aged Daoist heard this, he laughed out coldly, "If that wasn't the case, why would we need to join forces and be the fisherman?"
"Haha, who asked Dark Altar Sect to incur the wrath of so many Daoist sects. Which sect doesn't have a few Patriarchs? Which sect doesn't have a few Dao Masters?"
"It's one thing for those small sects to be swallowed up by the Dark Altar Sect. It's one thing for them to plant some spies in the shadows. But for them to start a war against a Paradise sect? Does Dark Altar Sect think that we're just clay statues?"
"Even if there's a conflict between us, we still have to join forces and teach them a lesson. We have to let Dark Altar Sect understand that they don't belong to us!" The Daoist within the black smoke spoke out coldly.
"That's right. Have you made the arrangements? This time, we're taking a huge risk. "The last Daoist was an old man, and he looked uneasy.
"Of course. We have to make sure these people can't escape. Not only do we have to kill those Emperors, we have to destroy the Earth Immortal clone as well."
Hearing these words, the delicate and pretty Daoist hesitated before speaking out, "But to ambush them like this, and to kill the clone, would mean that they've completely fallen out with Dark Altar Sect."
Hearing these words, the middle aged Daoist laughed out coldly, "Hm, if we don't fall out with them, they wouldn't have attacked us and taken over our sect?"
"How's the situation? Have you found out?" The Daoist in the black smoke was more concerned about the actual situation.
"Although we can't see what's going on inside, we can see that there's still a battle going on within Paradise. Furthermore, the battle within Free Cloud Sect seems to have taken a turn for the worse."
"Reporting, Free Cloud Sect has killed Dark Altar Sect. Almost none of them managed to escape." The communication talisman lit up.
"What?" The Daoists were shocked, "What's the reason?"
"It seems like Pei Zi Yun's counterattack was coordinated with the other sects, and they defeated Dark Altar Sect in one fell swoop."
"This kid …" All the Daoists had complicated expressions. One of them even looked at the Daoist in the black smoke. However, the Daoist in the black smoke didn't say anything.
"The spell altar has been breached." Another person cried out in alarm. The draconic qi had collapsed.
"Hurry, hurry! Now! Without the altar, how much longer can the Earth Immortal's avatar last? How is our spirit design? "The middle-aged Daoist asked.
"Don't worry. With the formation and ten Perfected Persons, we can kill this Earth Immortal's clone."
"Furthermore, after such a huge battle, the Earth Immortal's clone must have been severely damaged."
"Quick, we can't let go of this opportunity. If we kill the Earth Immortal's clone, the Earth Immortal would suffer greatly as well. He wouldn't be able to recover for at least a few years."
"Get ready." The middle-aged Daoist ordered. At the next moment, four shadows appeared. In a flash, they dove into the ground and disappeared.
Underworld Soil
As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of greyish black Qi. Some white Qi could be seen scattered around the corners of the land.
"This is a Daoist temple, or even a clan shrine."
There were a few spots that were lit up and looked different from the rest. This was the Paradise of the City God and the Daoist Sect.
The Earth Immortal's clone was traversing through the underworld soil. After flying for a distance, he suddenly stopped, "What's the purpose of your ambush?"
"The underworld only looks at spiritual energy. I told you that you can't hide. Show yourself!" There were four Daoists blocking the Earth Immortal's clone. All of them were covered in bright light. Some of them even had black inscriptions on them.
"As for our intentions, don't you know? You're just a clone without the support of the altar. Furthermore, you've been through so many battles and have expended a lot of energy. We want to take this opportunity to bury you. "
Hearing the Yin Masters speak, the Earth Immortal's clone laughed coldly, "Interesting. You're just a few True Masters and you want to deal with me? You've really underestimated me. "
Although he said this, the Earth Immortal's clone flashed and disappeared in a flash of red light. However, a loud boom could be heard as he slammed into something. A transparent prison wall appeared around him.
The middle-aged Daoist laughed coldly, "Indeed, you're injured. You can't even break out of our prison spell. Dark Altar Sect wants to be the strongest sect in the world. How could we not know that? Now we've found our chance."
The red light appeared once again, wrapping around the Earth Immortal's clone. He didn't speak at all. He stretched out his hand and a dark red light shot out from his finger. A loud clanging sound could be heard as the transparent prison wall caved in. Seeing that it was about to break apart, the Earth Immortal's clone revealed a look of joy.
The four Daoists looked at each other before retrieving a pearl.
"No, how could you have a Thunder Pearl?" Seeing this, the Earth Immortal's clone revealed a look of fear. Before he could even finish speaking, a loud boom could be heard as the pearl exploded. The entire prison was filled with explosions.
The Earth Immortal's clone reacted quickly as well. He conjured a shield of red light to protect himself. He didn't know what treasure it was, but the moment it exploded, the shield was destroyed as well. He was only slightly injured, but it wasn't too serious.
The prison itself was on the verge of collapsing, and he dashed forward with all his might.
Unexpectedly, another bolt of lightning struck down, causing the shield to dissipate. His left arm was also blasted into pieces.
"Fellow Daoists, please wait!" The Earth Immortal's clone shouted out in fear. Just as he opened his mouth, a third bolt of lightning struck down. This time, before he could even make a sound, half of his body was blasted into smithereens.
Free Cloud Sect
Pei Zi Yun's body was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn and tattered. He staggered back to the sect and took a closer look. What used to be a beautiful Daoist monastery, with many pavilions and pavilions, had been ravaged by fire. A third of the place had been razed to the ground, and only the foundations were left.
The rest of the buildings were charred black from the smoke. Dozens of ordinary Daoists were tearing up as they collected the corpses.
A Daoist walked up to him, his eyes were red and swollen, "Junior brother Pei, you're finally back. The Sect Leader is waiting for you."
Pei Zi Yun then walked into the inner sanctum. Along the way, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere. Some of the corpses of the Dark Altar Sect Daoists had been chopped into pieces and collected together before burning them to ashes.
Zhao Ning seemed to be recuperating from his injuries, while Zhang Yun was instructing the Daoists to collect their own disciples. Pei Zi Yun sighed. Zhang Yun saw Pei Zi Yun and walked up to him. He paused for sometime before speaking, "Junior brother Pei, the Sect Leader has entered Paradise. His spirit and body are both damaged, and he's only relying on pills to sustain his life. He's waiting for you. Hurry and go!"
Pei Zi Yun paused, as many memories flashed through his mind. The grudges he had in his previous life were endless. He then sighed, "I understand, I'll go now."
He had only taken a few steps when Chu Xia pounced on him, "Junior brother, I thought I would never see you again."
"Little Xia, let your junior brother see the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader has something to say." Yu Yun Jun walked out of the hall and looked at Pei Zi Yun. She had a melancholic look on her face, and a look of helplessness could be seen in her eyes, "The Sect Leader actually couldn't wake up, but he forced himself to come back. He's hanging on by a thread, just waiting for you."
Hearing Yu Yun Jun's words, Pei Zi Yun hurried into the hall. When he entered the hall, he saw some smoke rising from the furnace. The smoke seemed to be moving towards a certain direction.
Pei Zi Yun then frowned, as the smell of burnt flesh and blood entered his nostrils. The smell of burnt flesh mixed with the smell of burnt flesh made him feel nauseous.
Pei Zi Yun then looked at the person in front of him. It was a man who was badly mutilated and smelled like burnt flesh. He was sitting under the statue of a deity, and was still breathing.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man raised his head and looked at Pei Zi Yun. He then muttered, "You're here."
Hearing the man's voice, Pei Zi Yun finally recognized him.
"Sect Leader? You, how did you become like this? " Although Zhang Yun had warned him, he was still shocked. It was as if he had been placed in a fire and his skin had been burnt off.
"You, you're here. This is the result of burning my blood essence." The Sect Leader then said, "You've contributed greatly to the sect. For the sake of my Master's reincarnation, Song Zhi, I've suppressed you and even chased you out of the sect. Do you still hate me?"
Pei Zi Yun looked at the Sect Leader in front of him, and didn't know what to say. He paused for some time before looking up at the statue of the Patriarchs. There were many cracks on the statue. The Sect Leader looked at Pei Zi Yun, "Do you still hate me?"
"No." Pei Zi Yun paused for some time before replying.
The Sect Leader looked at him and laughed, "If you say you don't, I won't believe you. That's a lie. Life and death are unpredictable. Who doesn't hate me? It's just that all of this is in the past."
"You've contributed greatly to the sect, and now you've come back to save the sect. That's how you look at the bigger picture."
"Now that we're in danger, and you're the only Core Disciple in our sect, you're the only one left. Come, I shall pass the Sect Leader's position to you."
"Since I'm in danger, I dare not disobey." Pei Zi Yun stepped forward and said.
The Sect Leader stretched out a hand and handed a red jade token over. This jade token was actually a talisman. It glowed with a red light, and carried a dense Qi. The words Free Cloud were engraved on it.
"Pei Zi Yun, I hereby appoint you as the Sixth Sect Leader. The Patriarchs have already approved of you." The Sect Leader said.
Pei Zi Yun received the talisman, and as soon as he received it, the statue of the Patriarchs shone with a bright light and landed on his body.
"As for the authority over Paradise, you'll have to be the Sect Leader before you can obtain it." The moment the Sect Leader finished speaking, his head drooped down, and he no longer breathed.
Looking at the Sect Leader's corpse, Pei Zi Yun fell silent.
Actually, Pei Zi Yun understood that the Sect Leader had insisted on returning because he wanted to pass the Sect Leader's position to Pei Zi Yun. If he didn't, problems might arise again.
"This is for Free Cloud Sect!" Pei Zi Yun gripped the jade token tightly in his hands. He suddenly understood that the original owner of the Sect Leader had struggled for his entire life to achieve his goal. But now, he was holding it in his hands.
Although he was happy, he felt a sense of melancholy.
"Original owner, look. This is the Sect Leader's talisman. This is Free Cloud Sect!"
