Chapter 1244: The Confident Supreme Elder of the Floating Cloud Sect

After Su Junwu's voice fell.

The surroundings were silent, with not the slightest movement appearing.

He gritted his teeth, and while fleeing, he shrieked, "The Gentleman Alliance has wolfish ambitions; today they dare to annex my Xuanming Dao Sect, and another day they could slaughter their way into your sects."

"Everyone, ask yourselves, can you block her?"

Following this voice ringing out.

Movement finally appeared in the surroundings.

Ripples like water waves appeared in the void, and four figures manifested from the void.

In this coastal region of Youzhou near the Inner Sea, besides the Xuanming Dao Sect, there were three other top-tier factions.

Among these three top-tier factions, there were originally over ten Great Vehicle Stage cultivators each.

But when the entrance to the Immortal Abandoned Land was opened again, a total of eight Great Vehicle Stage cultivators from these three top-tier factions entered the Immortal Abandoned Land.

All of them were trapped and killed within.

Now.

Among these top-tier factions, there were only these four Great Vehicle Stage cultivators left in total.

After the four appeared, they looked at Xuan Ji, and after their expressions flickered for a moment, they spoke, "Fairy Xuan Ji, since Daoist Friend Su has already admitted his mistake, why must you insist on killing them all?"

"How about you give us some face and let this matter end here?"

Hearing the four's words, Xuan Ji sneered, "I do not believe you did not receive news of the conflict between the Gentleman Alliance and the Xuanming Dao Sect."

"Since that is the case, why did you not show yourselves to act as peacemakers before?"

"You think of it now?"

"Scram!"

Hearing this, the four's expressions turned pale and green, "Fairy, it is best to be forgiving when one can."

Xuan Ji acted as if she had not heard, not even sparing the four a glance.

"Fellow Daoist Friends, come quickly to assist me!"

Just at this moment, the blood-colored Sword Light had already chased behind Su Junwu.

Su Junwu screamed in terror.

The four heard this and looked over.

Immediately, their expressions changed in unison, and their figures flashed, appearing at Su Junwu's side.

"Attack together to block this strike!"

The four gathered their power simultaneously.

Seeing this, Su Junwu stopped fleeing, steadied his figure, and attacked with all his might.

Boom!

The five people's attacks collided with the blood-colored Sword Light, holding the blood-colored Sword Light firmly at bay.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the blood-colored Sword Light, and as the power of the five people's attacks was about to be exhausted, it finally shattered.

The five had just let out a sigh of relief.

Xuan Ji suddenly reached out and pressed forward.

The thousands of Sword Light fragments that had shattered suddenly paused in mid-air, then flew toward the five like raindrops, dense and numerous.

The five people's expressions changed drastically.

They attacked again to block.

Boom—

After a burst of roaring sounds, the five were covered in tattered clothes and dripping with blood, all flying backward together.

"Flee!"

"This woman's strength is too great; go to my Floating Cloud Sect."

"My Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array is best at defense and can block this woman!"

One person shouted, flying toward the distance.

Su Junwu and the other three looked at Xuan Ji with faces full of terror, not daring to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Xuan Ji sneered and did not pursue them immediately.

Instead, she looked toward the interior of the Xuanming Dao Sect.

Watching those fleeing figures, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

She waved her palm.

A scroll floated up, rapidly expanding and enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant painting that could not be seen to the end, covering the sky and blocking the sun.

The next moment.

Spirit Light rippled on the giant painting, and everyone covered by the scroll felt their vision blur, then they were sucked into the internal space of the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map.

Under the pressure of the heaven and earth power within the internal space.

These cultivators whose cultivation was below the Great Vehicle Stage had no power to resist, exploding one after another and turning into nourishment for the world within the painting.

In just a short moment.

Except for Su Junwu, who had fled with the four Great Vehicle Stage cultivators from other factions, all Xuanming Dao Sect cultivators were executed.

Xuan Ji waved her palm, put away the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, and her figure flickered.

She flew toward the Floating Cloud Sect at a leisurely pace.

Originally, she was worried about causing wariness among other factions Outside the Realm and had not intended to deal with the other Three Great Factions.

But since these Three Great Factions had taken the initiative to get involved.

Then she cannot be blamed.

……

"She did not pursue."

After Su Junwu and the other four fled back to the Floating Cloud Sect, they discovered that Xuan Ji had not caught up, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heh, the defensive power of our Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array is famously strong; it has a great reputation throughout the Eight Continents."

"Ten thousand years ago, it even blocked an attack from a Great Vehicle Perfection powerhouse and forced the enemy to retreat."

"By combining the strength of the five of us, we are enough to bring the power of the array to its limit; no Great Vehicle Perfection Cultivator without some special, powerful means can do anything to us."

"That Xuan Ji must also understand this point, which is why she did not pursue."

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder gave a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Su Junwu and the others nodded one after another, "Thanks to you, Daoist Friend."

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder smiled smugly, then revealed a grave expression, "That Xuan Ji's combat power is too strong; relying only on us few, we are simply no match for her."

"With our Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array here, although we do not fear her, blindly hiding is not a solution; we must seek allies to break this predicament."

"However, the Gentleman Alliance has the Immortal Abandoned Land backing them; if there is no direct conflict of interest, who would dare to get involved?"

One person frowned and said.

"Who says there is no direct conflict of interest?"

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder sneered, "How long has the Gentleman Alliance been established, and they have already moved against us? Once they rule this region, who can guarantee they won't continue to expand outward?"

"Moreover, allying with us does not mean destroying their Gentleman Alliance, just curbing their development."

Su Junwu and the others nodded upon hearing this.

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder looked at Su Junwu, "Since that is the case, then let Daoist Friend Su go and seek reinforcements."

Su Junwu's expression froze.

Staying at the Floating Cloud Sect, one could still rely on the Floating Cloud Sect Protective Grand Array to ensure safety.

Seek reinforcements?

It would be fine if one could avoid being found by Xuan Ji.

Once encountered by Xuan Ji, one would surely die without a doubt.

The key is...

Xuan Ji's strength is too great; the chance of avoiding her perception is not high!

Detecting the hesitation on Su Junwu's face, the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder frowned, "What? Daoist Friend Su does not want to go?"

"Today's matter was caused by the Xuanming Dao Sect; Daoist Friend Su should rightfully bear this risk, and it is your duty."

The other three Great Vehicle Stage Cultivators also looked at Su Junwu.

Although they did not speak, the expressions on their faces said everything.

Su Junwu's expression froze, "Fellow Daoists, it is not that Su is unwilling to take this risk, it is just that my Xuanming Dao Sect is currently still in crisis, and Su is worried about the sect, unable to set my mind at ease..."

Before Su Junwu could finish speaking, the Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder suddenly shook his head, interrupting his words, "Daoist Friend Su can rest assured; there is no need to worry about the Xuanming Dao Sect."

Su Junwu was startled, "Does Daoist Friend mean that Xuan Ji has not made things difficult for my Xuanming Dao Sect for the time being?"

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder shook his head, "No, what I mean is that the Xuanming Dao Sect cultivators are already all dead, not even a chicken or dog left."

"There is no use in you worrying anymore."

Su Junwu's expression stiffened, "Daoist Friend is not joking, are you? My Xuanming Dao Sect has so many cultivators; even for a Great Vehicle Stage, it would take some time to slaughter them all..."

The Floating Cloud Sect Supreme Elder looked at Su Junwu, a flash of pity in his eyes, "That Xuan Ji possesses a Magic Treasure for super-large-scale area attacks. Before I fled, I used a special method to leave behind a sensing technique, and I could easily perceive everything that happened to the Xuanming Dao Sect."

"It is absolutely true."

Upon hearing this, Su Junwu's body swayed.

The Xuanming Dao Sect had been passed down until today; he never expected it to be destroyed in his hands!

What face did he have left to face his ancestors?

Fortunately...

He was still alive.

He did not need to face his ancestors.

Thinking of this, a sense of comfort appeared in his heart.
