The cruel law of the Immortal World was the survival of the fittest. Tan Xiu had seen too many killings and battles, so he wasn't surprised. After retracting his gaze, he waved to a middle-aged man guarding the Cloud-Devouring Beast on the roadside. After paying 10 Immortal Stones, he boarded the Cloud-Devouring Beast's back and rushed toward the city gate.
He didn't deliberately speed up and took more than half a day to leave Renault City. What surprised him was that the number of Immortal soldiers outside Renault City's gate was more than a thousand. All of them were fully armed and looked as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
Tan Xiu's expression shifted. He carefully listened to the discussions around him and immediately understood the cause of the matter.
"Old Fiend Yi Zun has gone crazy. In just a few days, he slaughtered tens of thousands of people and killed more than half of the people in Clearwater Stockade near Renault City. Even the Profound Immortal powerhouse of Clearwater Stockade was killed by him. Now, he's coming to Renault City again. I'm afraid many people will die in Renault City if no powerhouse takes action. "
"His only son was killed because he was too protective and connived at his son's misdeeds. Over the past few decades, how many people had his son and his followers harmed? How many wronged souls have they created? What about Old Fiend Yi Zun? Relying on his tyrannical cultivation, he sent people to help his only son solve the trouble he caused. He didn't blame his only son at all. Now that he was killed by someone else, he totally deserved it. "
"Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough. Otherwise, I would've killed Old Fiend Yi Zun's only son. Now that such a scourge has finally been eliminated, the area within hundreds of thousands of miles can finally be peaceful for a long time. "
"Our Renault City is guarded by Perfected Golden Immortals. Even if Old Fiend Yi Zun is tyrannical, his cultivation is only at the Golden Immortal Stage. Once he dares to come to Renault City and start a massacre, the Perfected Golden Immortal guarding the city will naturally take action to deal with him. It would be a great thing if both father and son died. "
"I heard that Venerable East Wu and Old Fiend Yi Zun have some friendship. I wonder if Venerable East Wu will deal with Old Fiend Yi Zun now that he came to Renault City to kill him. By the way, I heard that the four powerhouses who killed Old Fiend Yi Zun are being chased by the Immortal Army. If my guess is correct, they should be handed over to Old Fiend Yi Zun to calm his anger, right? "
"Let's not leave yet. Let's observe the situation nearby. With so many Immortal soldiers here, even if Old Fiend Yi Zun's anger is monstrous, I'm afraid he won't dare to start a massacre at the city gate. "
"Yes, let's wait and see."
After Tan Xiu understood the situation, he remembered that when he walked out of the Ascending Cauldron Pavilion, he saw the four immortals being chased by immortal soldiers. He immediately sighed in his heart. He faintly felt that Venerable Venerable East Wu, the Perfected Golden Immortal who guarded the city, wouldn't easily kill old fiend Yi Zun. It was very likely that he wanted to capture the four people who killed old fiend Yi Zun and hand them over to old fiend Yi Zun to quell his anger.
Suddenly.
A ray of blood-red light appeared tens of thousands of miles away, and a powerful aura swept over. As more than a dozen corpses fell to the ground beside the newcomer, over a thousand Immortal soldiers immediately stepped into the void and charged into the air in a battle formation. They looked at the white-robed old man who was dyed red with blood as if they were facing a great enemy.
"GET LOST! I know the people who killed my son have fled into Renault City. If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for stepping over your corpses and stepping into Renault City's gate." Old Fiend Yi Zun's killing intent was so intense that it could almost condense into a substantial substance. The cultivators entering and exiting the city gate just felt the surging murderous aura and fled in fright.
In just a short quarter of an hour …
Except for a dozen Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals with decent strength outside the city gate, everyone else had fled into the city. The dozen powerhouses were also scattered on both sides of the city gate, quietly watching the changing situation in front of them.
"Yi Zun, our Lord Guardian of the city has already sent people to arrest the four villains who killed your only son. Furthermore, Lord Guardian of the city said that you don't need to step into Renault City. He'll naturally send people to catch those four villains and hand them over to you. If you dare to step into Renault City, you'll become an enemy of our Immortal Lyceum. Lord Guardian of the city won't show any mercy even if you have some friendship with him, "said the stalwart general who commanded the Immortal soldiers while holding an immortal spear.
Old Fiend Yi Zun unleashed his immortal sword and furiously roared, "Venerable East Wu is indeed very strong, but why would I be afraid of him? GET THE FUCK AWAY! Else I'll kill you all even if you bring out Venerable East Wu! "
The expression of the Golden Immortal Army commander in the lead changed slightly. He was just an early-stage Golden Immortal, and the gap between him and the late-stage Golden Thread Old Fiend Yi Zun was huge. Even if he commanded a thousand Immortal soldiers, he would most likely be killed by Old Fiend Yi Zun if they really fought.
Therefore …
He quickly took out a Message Token and reported the situation at the city gate to Venerable East Wu.
Renault City, City Lord Mansion.
Venerable East Wu sat cross-legged on a futon beside a blooming pond, watching the red Arowanas swimming in the pond with a faintly discernible aura lingering around him. He was an early-stage Perfected Golden Immortal, but it had been 2,400 years since he broke through to this stage, yet he still couldn't cross this hurdle.
Recently.
He once followed Apotheosis Bella to the Heavenly Mountain Immortal Domain to rescue someone, and then received her order to start operating the Immortal Lyceum and eliminate some unstable factors. Such an unprecedented situation made him faintly realize that something big was about to happen.
In the past, as a lofty and aloof Perfected Golden Immortal, he thought that as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke those Supremacy Stage powerhouses and had Apotheosis Bella's protection, he could rest easy and slowly cultivate and break through.
However, the battle in the Heavenly Mountain …
He could only watch helplessly as Tang Xiu instantly killed a Perfected Golden Immortal powerhouse. It finally made him realize that his strength was still too weak. If a war were to break out in the future and affect the entire Immortal Lyceum, it would be difficult for him to protect himself given his current strength. It was precisely because of this that a sense of urgency arose spontaneously.
"Whoosh …"
A beam of light shot toward him. Frowning, he reached out and caught the Summoning Talisman. After reading its contents, his face flickered, and his eyes filled with anger. In the next moment, his figure disappeared on the spot. In almost the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the city.
"Yi Zun, you've gone too far."
Venerable East Wu indifferently glanced at Old Fiend Yi Zun and said with an indifferent tone.
Old fiend Yi Zun snorted coldly. "Brother Wu Dong, I, Yi Zun, respect your character and don't want to violate the rules here. However, he had to avenge his son's death. Let me personally enter the city and capture those four damned bastards. After that, I will leave immediately. "
Venerable East Wu shook his head and said, "The rules have been set and no one can break them. I told someone to tell you that I will help you catch the four murderers and then hand them over to you. This is already my bottom line. "
"I don't trust your people, Venerable East Wu," said old fiend Yi Zun coldly. Since you insist on stopping me, then don't blame me for not giving you face. I've long wanted to experience the means of a Perfected Golden Immortal like you, and now the opportunity has finally come. "
"What?"
Venerable East Wu never dreamed that old fiend Yi Zun would say such words. Judging from his appearance, this old fiend wanted to fight him?
Was he insane?
Could it be that he could defeat a Perfected Golden Immortal by relying on his Golden Immortal Stage?
Venerable East Wu shot a deep look at old fiend Yi Zun and indifferently said, "Since you want to fight me, then I'll fulfill your wish. But don't expect me to show mercy to you. "
A disdainful look flashed in old fiend Yi Zun's eyes. His aura suddenly surged and increased tenfold in nearly a flash. Further, his skin began to dry and crack as scales drilled out of his skin. Soon, his whole body was covered with a layer of scales.
"Come on! Show me what you got! "
Disbelief was written all over East Wu's face as he exclaimed, "You're not a pure Immortal? You … you're a Perfected Golden Immortal? "
"That's right."
Old fiend Yi Zun grinned and instantly unleashed his Innate Natal immortal sword. As he cast a sword art, layers of sword images instantly blotted out the sky and shot toward Venerable East Wu.
Venerable East Wu put away his shock and vigilantly released his Innate Natal immortal weapon. He didn't know why old fiend Yi Zun hid his identity, let alone why he hid his cultivation. He had sincerely befriended this old fiend before, but he didn't expect that this old fiend didn't trust him at all. Hence, he didn't need to show any mercy.
"Red Lotus Karmic Flame Sword!"
Venerable East Wu didn't act, but once he did, he unleashed his most powerful move with a thunderous momentum. At the same time, he cast a technique and Karmic Flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, pressing down on old fiend Yi Zun with the momentum of a prairie fire.
Old fiend Yi Zun disdainfully smiled. His ferocious face twisted as his body rushed toward Venerable East Wu. He was like a killer move amidst layers of sword techniques as he instantly appeared amidst the Red Lotus Karmic Flame that blotted the sky. At least hundreds of scales on his body silently shot out and blended into the Innate Natal immortal sword's sword light, colliding with Venerable East Wu's attack.
"So strong!"
Venerable East Wu let out a muffled groan. He felt that his chest was hit by a solid bombardment and his body was immediately sent flying back hundreds of meters. During this process, he was horrified to find that old fiend Yi Zun's speed was much faster than his. One of the sword images was like a long whip that fiercely lashed his chest.
Puff …
Blood splashed out. When Venerable East Wu was injured, his Innate Natal immortal weapon also bombarded the old fiend's waist and sent him flying. However, the scales on old fiend Yi Zun's body were extremely hard and had a very terrifying defensive power. Even though the old fiend's waist was hit, it only caused a minor injury.
"Who the hell are you? Old fiend Yi Zun shouldn't be your real identity! "Venerable East Wu angrily roared.
Old fiend Yi Zun sneered. "If you want to know my real identity, then show me the strength to make me dread you. Else, you can only be a muddled ghost today. "
