"Dead people don't need to know the reason!" Cheng Aofang said lightly as she floated in the air.
Zhuang Youwen and Bo Yan each carried a head and followed the two deacons as they soared into the sky from the pervading smoke and dust.
Shortly after, dozens of silhouettes shot down from the peak of a mountain. The Hall Masters of the Wood Traversing Palace and a group of Red Lotus cultivators appeared before Cheng Aofang.
Cheng Aofang's gaze swept over everyone. "Act according to the plan. Assemble the army and attack!"
"Yes!" The various Hall Masters acknowledged the order and each of them took out a Spirit Eagle that they had prepared beforehand and released it.
Traversing Water Palace mobilized their forces on a large scale, while Traversing Wood Palace's forces remained motionless. Otherwise, the Traversing Water Palace's forces would definitely arouse the Sun Palace's suspicions. Before they confirmed that they were going to make a move, the Traversing Water Palace's forces wouldn't make a move. Since the Traversing Water Palace's Advisor had already been killed, there was no need for them to hold back.
"You still want to negotiate with me? This time, this empress will have a good chat with Shi Xiaotian. Let's go! "
Cheng Aofang called out. Her dress fluttered as she turned around and flew into the air. Nearly fifty subordinates chased after her …
In the boundless land, there were towering mountains and palaces that welcomed the sunrise and sent the sunset. Sun Palace.
"Discuss business!" A deep voice with a hint of anger reverberated from the peak of the mountain …
Miao Yi had already caught up to Tao Qingli and the others, who were returning to the Home Suppression Hall. After all, the speed of a dragon steed couldn't compare to the speed of flying. Seeing that everyone had returned safely, he found out that the battle had gone smoothly.
They had over forty Red Lotus cultivators on their side, and Tao Qingli was armed with a Fourth Grade Transcendent Artifact. If they still couldn't take down four or five Red Lotus cultivators from Self Suppression Hall, then even death wouldn't be enough to wipe out their crimes.
Now that Tao Qingli and the others had successfully returned, there was no longer any need for the army to continue attacking. Traversing Water Palace was only putting on an all-out attack to distract the Sun Palace's forces.
Under Miao Yi's command, the entire army split up and retreated with the Manor as a unit. They immediately retreated. Don't get tangled up with any enemies. Scatter and retreat back to Traversing Water Palace's territory.
Seeing that there was no need to fight anymore, everyone was naturally happy, and the army dispersed in a hubbub. A thunderous roar came from afar, "Where do you think you're going?!"
It would have been better if he hadn't shouted. Once he did, the group of people ran even faster.
A white-bearded old man suddenly appeared in the air, a Second Grade Purple Lotus symbol on his forehead. His cold gaze swept across the scattered troops on the ground. He suddenly locked onto the golden-armored Tao Qingli on the ground. She was simply too eye-catching.
"Who is this?" Sikong Wuwei asked.
"Zhu Yaoxian!" Tao Qingli said solemnly.
"Little bitch, it's really you. You've got guts. You're really tired of living. How dare you come to me? Today, I'll send you to see Old Lady Tao!" Zhu Yaoxian laughed wildly. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and a red light blasted towards the ground.
A glowing red melon hammer smashed down with the sound of wind and thunder. Everyone was startled. The Dragon-Head Scepter in Tao Qingli's hand flashed with a purple light, instantly coming to life. The rapidly expanding golden dragon soared into the sky as if it had broken free from its shackles.
Boom! The melon hammer was sent flying, and the golden dragon's momentum slowed.
Amidst the deafening sound, a huge shockwave blasted the ground apart, sending rocks and dust flying everywhere. It was truly as if the mountains were collapsing. The group of Traversing Water Palace Red Lotus cultivators quickly took to the skies.
Charcoal swung his spear left and right to deflect the incoming boulders and soil. Charcoal's hooves forcefully knocked away a huge piece of soil several hundred zhang wide, nearly burying him and his steed alive. The ground shook and the mountains shook. Miao Yi quickly fled the scene.
Tao Qingli soared into the sky and stood directly in the mouth of the giant dragon. She watched as the giant golden dragon, glowing with a purple light, rapidly circled in the sky, trapping Zhu Yaoxian in the middle.
Zhu Yaoxian couldn't escape for the time being. Miao Yi furiously swung his hammer at the dragon claws coming at him from all directions. The deafening rumbles were like continuous thunderclaps. Both sides were locked in a stalemate, with neither side able to do anything to the other.
The others could only watch from the sidelines. They couldn't interfere at all. The strong winds created by the dragon's powerful transcendence energy made it difficult for them to even get close. Below him, sand and pebbles flew everywhere. Trees were uprooted and sent flying. Miao Yi had no choice but to ride Charcoal to a distant mountain to watch.
"Little bitch! Let's see how long this Fourth Grade Transcendent Artifact of yours can last! "Zhu Yaoxian sneered.
"Zhu Yaoxian, it's not your turn to act so savagely with me. I would like to see who can last longer!" Tao Qingli retorted fiercely from within the giant dragon's mouth. With a flip of her hand, she took out two red Third Grade Core Formation Pills and tossed them into the dragon's stomach. They were meant for the Fourth Grade Transcendent Artifact to consume. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to withstand it with her current cultivation.
Zhu Yaoxian, who was furiously swinging his hammer in all directions, took a moment to glance at her. The corner of his mouth twitched violently as he laughed, "I didn't expect Granny Tao to have saved up so much for you. It's a pity she entrusted it to the wrong person. When the Palace Lord comes to capture you, I'll definitely have him give you to me to ravage every day. I'll let you have a taste of the humiliation I suffered all those years ago."
Sikong Wuwei grimaced in anger at Miao Yi's words. Alas, he couldn't do anything with his cultivation.
Tao Qingli gritted her teeth and hoped that Traversing Wood Palace would keep their promise. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable …
Amidst the mountain range where the Sun Palace could be seen from afar, dozens of figures were flying close to the ground. With a swoosh, they landed in a dense forest atop a mountain. Cheng Aofang and the others appeared.
At the same time, Shang Liuhuan, who had been hiding in the canopy of a tree, came down in a flash. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Palace Lord!"
Cheng Aofang narrowed her eyes and stared at the distant palace atop the mountain peak. She asked, "How's the situation?"
Shang Liuhuan replied, "Advisor Zhu Yaoxian of Traversing Wood Palace left first. The six deacons flew off in all directions, probably to gather their troops. I don't see any traces of Palace Lord Shi Xiaotian or Advisor Mo Gan Yun. They should still be around."
"Good!" Cheng Aofang waved her sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
Swoosh swoosh! Dozens of people flew out of the mountain peak and headed straight for the central palace of Traversing Wood Palace.
"Who goes there?" Before they could even get close to the Sun Palace, they heard a shout coming from the mountain where it was located.
"Shi Xiaotian! An old friend has arrived. Hurry up and come out to welcome us! "
Cheng Aofang's laughter resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A beam of purple light shot out of her hand, and a golden spear glowing with purple light blasted towards the mountain peak with a thunderous boom.
Almost at the same time, a golden spear glowing with purple light suddenly shot out from the palace.
Boom! The heavens and earth shook as a nearly tangible ripple spread out, instantly razing the entire Traversing Wood Palace to the ground.
After the violent collision, both transcendent artifacts were sent flying back. Amidst the smoke and dust of the destroyed palace, Shi Xiaotian, dressed in a brocade robe, shot up into the sky, followed by two handmaidens.
The two of them grabbed the transcendent artifacts at almost the same time. Two phantoms rapidly clashed in the void.
The spear and the spear were locked in a stalemate, one rising and the other pressing down, neither giving way to the other. The burly Shi Xiaotian and the curvaceous Cheng Aofang stared at each other, their transcendence energy surging out of their bodies.
Shi Xiaotian shouted angrily, "Bitch! What are you trying to do? "
Cheng Aofang giggled and said, "You fool, guess for yourself!"
On the other mountain, Traversing Wood Palace's Mo Gan Yun had just taken to the sky with his two handmaidens when Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan from the Traversing Wood Palace immediately pounced forward.
Mo Gan Yun was shocked. He quickly brandished a long saber in response, shouting, "All of you, run!"
However, there was no way he could escape. Dozens of Red Lotus cultivators were already pouncing on his handmaidens and Palace Lord Shi Xiaotian's handmaidens. Anyone who could take to the sky immediately rushed forward to surround them.
Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan had already surrounded Mo Gan Yun. In an instant, he had no choice but to fight back.
In the blink of an eye, one of the handmaidens had been killed.
Shi Xiaotian, who had been glancing left and right, finally came to his senses. He turned around and glared at Cheng Aofang, roaring, "Bitch! You colluded with Traversing Water Palace to harm me! "
Cheng Aofang clicked her tongue. "Shi Xiaotian, don't act like you've been wronged. I've been friends with Granny Tao for many years. How could I watch you bully her granddaughter?!"
"Bitch!" Shi Xiaotian roared to the sky, bursting forth with unbelievable strength. He raised his arm and twisted his spear, suppressing Cheng Aofang's spear and sending her crashing into the ground like a meteor.
Boom! The ground crumbled, the mountains toppled, and the rivers changed their course.
When the two of them took to the sky once more, the transcendent artifacts in their hands had all disappeared. Their arms were now entangled together. Blood trickled down the corner of Cheng Aofang's lips. She was in a sorry state, but her ten hook-like claws latched onto Shi Xiaotian's arms, refusing to let go. Her legs were even wrapped around Shi Xiaotian's legs like an octopus. In short, she refused to let go.
Their transcendence energy was on par, so Shi Xiaotian couldn't do anything to her for the time being. The two of them were fighting to exhaust their transcendence energy as they flipped around in the air.
Cries of agony could be heard all around them. Shi Xiaotian realized that the reason why this woman didn't take the risk to fight him was because she wanted to buy time for the others.
One of the Red Lotus cultivators, who had just killed one of Shi Xiaotian's handmaidens, turned around with a valiant look on his face. He suddenly brandished his saber and rushed over to lend Cheng Aofang a hand.
Cheng Aofang, who was still entangled with Shi Xiaotian, immediately cried out in alarm, "Young Master Guan, don't!"
Young Master Guan was the Hall Master of Wood Traversing Palace's Suppressing First Hall. He was also Cheng Aofang's fourth husband.
However, Cheng Aofang's warning was too late. Shi Xiaotian raised his brows, and a purple beam of light suddenly shot out from the collapsed ground below. It was so fast and powerful that Young Master Guan couldn't withstand it at all.
"Ugh …" Young Master Guan spat out a mouthful of blood, and the armor on his body shattered.
Once a cultivator reached the Purple Lotus realm, they usually wouldn't wear armor. This was because armor below the Fourth Grade would have a hard time withstanding an attack from a Purple Lotus cultivator, and Fourth Grade Armor Artifacts weren't easy to come by either. Usually, only cultivators at the Purple Lotus realm and above could pose a threat to a Purple Lotus cultivator. Therefore, it didn't make a difference whether they wore armor below the Fourth Grade or not.
Even Cheng Aofang didn't have a Fourth Grade Armor Artifact to protect herself, let alone Young Master Guan's armor. It was shattered by Shi Xiaotian's Fourth Grade Transcendent Artifact.
Hovering in the air for a moment, Young Master Guan slowly lowered his head to look at his abdomen. There was a gaping hole in his chest, and even his heart was gone. His eyes slowly closed, and his broken body fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Cheng Aofang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and her eyes widened in shock.
The spear that had killed Young Master Guan suddenly shot towards her, but it was intercepted by a spear that had shot out from the ground a step too late. Cheng Aofang glared at Shi Xiaotian, who was grinning maliciously.
"Ahhh …" Mo Gan Yun screamed in agony. When Shi Xiaotian turned around to look, his expression changed drastically. He struggled with all his might in an attempt to break free from Cheng Aofang's grasp.
However, Cheng Aofang refused to let go no matter how hard she bit her lip until it bled. She looked like she wanted nothing more than to skin him alive.
After Zhuang Youwen, Shang Liuhuan, and Bo Yan killed Mo Gan Yun, they immediately charged towards Shi Xiaotian. Shi Xiaotian's face was deathly pale, but he turned back to Cheng Aofang and sneered, "It's not bad to be able to drag your man down with me before I die. I'll let you be a widow once more, you slut …"
