"Capture them all!"
The middle-aged man from the Hall of Gods said as he raised his hand.
The four Heavenly High Immortals behind him immediately stepped forward.
"Protect the First Elder!"
More than a dozen Heavenly High Immortals rushed out of the room.
Three minutes later, all of them were lying on the ground, severely injured. They had lost their ability to fight for a short period of time.
Even though they were all Heavenly High Immortals, the warriors of the Hall of Gods were much stronger than the elders of the other sects.
Most of the elders were defeated, and Chu Yin and the First Elder were captured.
"Bring Palace Master Du back. It's one thing if we can't capture her, but if we can't, we'll have her bring something in exchange for her!"
The middle-aged man from the Hall of Gods harrumphed coldly as he turned around and left.
Zhang Xuan slowly drove his zhenqi, intending to save Du Qingyuan from the Hall of Gods.
Even though he still couldn't figure out what the Hall of Gods was after, he knew that Du Qingyuan would be in grave danger if he allowed them to take her away. At that time, it would be troublesome for him to interrogate them.
Not to mention, he had a grudge with the Hall of Gods. How could he allow them to leave so easily?
The Tongshang Sword and the other four Heavenly High Immortal-tier swords appeared in Zhang Xuan's hands simultaneously. He was just about to deal with the four Heavenly High Immortals before gathering all of his forces to deal with the Semi-Divinity realm expert when an anxious voice suddenly sounded in the air. Following which, he felt a powerful pressure descending from the distance.
"Another Semi-Divinity realm expert?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he slowly stopped driving his zhenqi and continued concealing his aura.
The pressure that had suddenly appeared was definitely not something that a Heavenly High Immortal could exert. In other words, another Semi-Divinity realm expert had appeared!
"Who is it?"
The middle-aged man from the Hall of Gods also noticed the other party, so he quickly scanned the surroundings.
"This friend over there, it's best to be lenient whenever possible. Don't take those from Starchaser Palace away with you."
A faint voice rang out, giving off a warm feeling. An old man in green clothes appeared at the entrance of the hall and slowly walked over.
He looked to be in his sixties and had three strands of beard. He gave off an ethereal feeling.
Just like what Zhang Xuan had sensed earlier, he had already reached Semi-Divinity realm. Furthermore, there was an unfathomable aura around him. Most likely, he was even stronger than Han Jianqiu, Sect Leader Qin, and the others!
"This … Where did he come from?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had already met four of the Sect Masters of the Six Major Sects, leaving only Palace Master Du and the Sect Master of the Misty Immortal Sect that he had yet to meet.
Based on what he knew, there were only six Semi-Divinities in the world. Shark No. 1, Shark No. 2, Blackback Tortoise, and the others were only Semi-Divinities due to the appearance of the God's Blood, so it was only natural for the Hall of Gods to have Semi-Divinities.
But where did this person come from?
Obviously, they were not on the same side as the Temple.
Chu Yin and the First Elder were confused as well. Confusion surfaced in their eyes.
"Stay? Let's see if you have the strength … "
The middle-aged man from the Divine Hall harrumphed coldly.
Whoosh!
But before he could finish his words, the two Heavenly High Immortals from the Hall of Gods raised their swords and charged right toward the Semi-Divinity realm expert.
Although these two martial artists didn't deliberately cooperate with each other, when one's cultivation reached their level, their every move had its own rhythm. The two sword intents fused together in the blink of an eye, and a pitch black crack appeared in the space in front of them.
Their sword intents were as deep as the ocean.
Their comprehension of swordsmanship was on par with the First Elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Ye Tian, and the others.
Behind the beam, Zhang Xuan could feel the pressure from the two of them, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
While he had made great progress in his cultivation recently, making him invincible among High Immortals, it was inevitable that he would panic if he were to face such an attack.
In fact, even the Semi-Divinity realm Semi-Divinity realm beasts like the Blackback Tortoise would find it difficult to deal with such an attack.
Thus, Zhang Xuan focused his gaze on the old man to see how he would deal with the two of them.
Hu!
Under Zhang Xuan's watchful gaze, the old man finally made his move. With a slight smile on his face, he raised his palm and flicked it lightly.
Peng! Peng!
The two Heavenly High Immortals from the Hall of Gods were sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground. Their faces paled, and fresh blood spurted from their mouths.
In just a single move, they were already severely injured.
Zhang Xuan's body jolted in astonishment.
He had thought that the old man would only be on par with Han Jianqiu, but from the looks of it, the old man was probably even more fearsome than that.
Who could have thought that the seemingly ordinary-looking palm would actually wield such inconceivable might?
Even after injuring the two Heavenly High Immortals, the old man didn't stop there. He swiftly made his way up to the two Heavenly High Immortals and flicked his palm once more.
The move was simple, but it harnessed innumerable transformations, allowing the two Heavenly High Immortals to deal with it.
Peng! Peng!
Just like before, the two Heavenly High Immortals were sent flying before crashing heavily onto the ground. From the looks of it, it seemed like they wouldn't be able to continue fighting for the time being.
"The two of you must be frightened," the old man said with a smile.
With a light chuckle, the old man waved his hand and dispelled the seal on Chu Yin and the First Elder.
"Elder, thank you for saving our lives!"
The two Heavenly High Immortals hurriedly bowed.
"It's fine."
With a smile, the old man stepped forward and looked at the middle-aged man from the Hall of Gods. "Make your move."
"Not bad."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think that the old man before him would possess such strength. Even with his strength, it wouldn't be that easy for him to defeat four Heavenly High Immortals.
With a stomp of his foot, the old man charged forward.
The middle-aged man stepped forward to receive the old man's attack.
Boom boom boom!
The battle between the two Semi-Divinity realm experts tore apart the heavens and earth. It was fortunate that the Hall of Gods was protected by a formation, or else the entire Starchaser Island would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Zhang Xuan, who was hiding in the Hall of Gods, knew that a battle of this caliber was extremely rare. Thus, he activated his Eye of Insight to take a closer look.
The middle-aged man's strength was overwhelming whereas the old man's moves were ingenious.
In an instant, the two of them were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand.
"Why does this old man's technique give me a sense of familiarity?"
Zhang Xuan thought with a frown.
The old man's moves might seem simple, but they were able to target one's vitals. Under normal circumstances, the purity of his zhenqi and zhenqi would be far beneath that of the middle-aged man. However, as the battle progressed, the latter was forced to retreat continuously, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
The old man's battle technique is similar to the simplified Heaven's Path battle technique. He's able to simplify the complicated to bring out greater prowess in battle …
Zhang Xuan nodded.
It was no wonder the old man's battle technique felt so familiar. It turned out that the old man's battle technique was similar to his Heaven's Path Divine Art.
Both of them targeted one's vitals, making it difficult for one to deal with them.
It seems like he's going to win …
Barely after this thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind, the middle-aged man's face suddenly paled. Deng deng deng! He was struck squarely in the chest and forced to retreat several steps.
"Take my final move!"
With a loud roar, a long sword appeared in the palm of the middle-aged man's hand. The Sword Qi whistled as it pierced straight towards the old man.
Judging from the might of the sword, it was likely that the middle-aged man had executed his strongest move.
With a grim expression, the old man was just about to step forward to receive the middle-aged man's attack when his vision blurred. The four Heavenly High Immortals and the middle-aged man had vanished simultaneously.
"I'll spare you this time, but you better pray that I don't meet you again …"
His voice reverberated in the air, but the five Heavenly High Immortals had already vanished without a trace.
"This …"
He didn't think that an expert of the Hall of Gods would actually resort to such a trick to escape. Shaking his head helplessly, the old man chuckled softly. He flew into the air to observe the situation, and after confirming that the other party had indeed left, he returned to Chu Yin and the First Elder's side.
"Elder, thank you for saving our lives!"
The two of them bowed deeply.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. I'm here on the orders of my sect leader so that Starchaser Palace, which has been around for several thousand years, won't be humiliated …"
The old man replied with a smile.
"Sect leader?"
The two of them glanced at one another before the First Elder bowed deeply. "May I know elder's name and sect?"
As the First Elder of Starchaser Palace, she was familiar with most of the top experts of the Six Sects.
Yet, the young man before her was actually not their sect leader despite having reached the Semi-Divinity realm. Who in the world was he? And where did he come from?
"I am Fu Chenzi …" The old man stroked his beard proudly. "I'm an elder of the Ethereal Hall!"
"Ethereal Hall?"
Chu Yin and the First Elder were taken aback.
They did not expect the other party to be from the Ethereal Hall!
Zhang Xuan was also taken aback.
He had known that the Ethereal Hall that Kong Shi had founded would have plenty of experts, but who could have thought that an elder would actually reach the Semi-Divinity realm?
Not to mention, he had saved the members of Starchaser Palace at the crucial moment.
As expected of someone who had plucked the complete 'God' character.
"That's right …" Fu Chenzi nodded. "Hall Master Kong sensed the movements of the Hall of Gods, so he sent me here to reinforce Starchaser Palace.
"Thank you, Hall Master Kong. Thank you, Elder Fu Chenzi!"
The First Elder clasped her fist.
"You're too polite!"
Fu Chenzi replied with a deep frown. "The Hall of Gods has always stayed out of worldly affairs, so why would they suddenly make trouble for Starchaser Palace?"
"This …"
The First Elder hesitated.
"It's fine if it's not convenient for you to say."
Fu Chenzi nodded calmly. "However, Palace Master Du might be in danger at the moment, so it's difficult for me to help her without knowing the details."
"First Elder, it's an elder from the Ethereal Hall who saved us earlier …" Chu Yin turned to the First Elder and said.
What was more important at the moment was to save their master. Given their current strength, it was impossible for them to do so. The only one who could do it was the elder before them.
She could not understand why the First Elder was still hesitating and hiding the truth under such circumstances.
"Forget it."
The First Elder shook her head. "Since Elder Fu Chenzi is an expert from the Ethereal Hall, there's no harm in telling him."
As mysterious as the Ethereal Hall was, it had always been for the sake of the Master Teacher Continent. She had never heard of it having anything to do with the Hall of Gods.
She had never heard of anything bad about it either.
"Actually, the reason why the Hall of Gods is here is to steal the guardian artifact of our Starchaser Palace!"
"Guardian artifact?"
Fu Chenzi frowned.
"That's right. It's the sacrificial altar that Starchaser Palace uses!"
The First Elder explained.
