Chapter 359: Yulong Immortal Mountain
On this day, the group from the Giant Spirit Pavilion finally saw the Yulong Immortal Mountain from afar! Compared to the Tianqi Immortal Mountain, this mountain was almost on par, its peak soaring into the clouds and shrouded in mist all year round! The wisps of cloud and mist, like cooking smoke, cascaded down the mountainside like a waterfall flowing from the heavens!
The majestic and magnificent immortal mountain, like a young girl draped in thin gauze, gave one a feeling of extreme mystery and curiosity! Yang Huzi looked at the mountain and sighed; if Zhang Nuo had not appeared in time, they probably would not have arrived here safely!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this journey was all thanks to you!"
After several months of getting along, Yang Huzi felt that Zhang Nuo was a very honest person without so many devious schemes, so he no longer had any guard against him.
"You are too kind! Zhang has nowhere else to go! Following the group from the Giant Spirit Pavilion for so long, I have also obtained quite a bit of the latest news about the Immortal Illusion Continent!"
With a faint smile, Zhang Nuo replied noncommittally.
"When we return to the immortal mountain later, I believe the First Leader will also be very happy to see you!"
Liu Qingshan also chimed in from the side! Zhang Nuo knew nothing about Zhou Huizheng; the only things he knew were what he had heard from Liu Qingshan! His only hope at this moment was that this person would not be like an old fox!
After traveling forward for another distance, Yang Huzi suddenly flipped one hand, and a golden Sound Transmission Talisman appeared in his palm. After whispering a few words to the talisman and infusing it with Spirit Power, the talisman turned into a streak of fire and rushed toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain!
Before long, another streak of fire flew back from the direction of the immortal mountain. With a wave of Yang Huzi's hand, the fire landed in his palm. He squeezed his five fingers hard, and the fire burst open, a hurried voice transmitting into his ears.
As soon as this voice entered his ears, Yang Huzi's expression changed drastically, and a violent killing intent rose abruptly!
"Hmph! Do those fellows from the Tiangui Sect still not want to give up? They've gone to attack the immortal mountain again!"
As soon as his words left his mouth, the expressions of both Zhang Nuo and Liu Qingshan changed simultaneously. The Tiangui Sect was a sect that had recently infiltrated the interior of the Immortal Illusion Continent. The cultivators in the sect mostly practiced Demonic Arts. When they were fighting for Yulong Immortal Mountain in the past, they were the Giant Spirit Pavilion's greatest enemy! The cultivators from both sides had been fighting for decades and were still deadlocked.
This time, the Tiangui Sect learned that Yang Huzi had gone out on business and was not on the immortal mountain, so they gathered all their main forces, wanting to take this opportunity to take back control of the immortal mountain!
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! I will leave this place to you for now! This old man is going over to help the Pavilion Master defend the mountain! The battle situation over there is extremely intense!"
Just as he was about to get up and fly toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain, Zhang Nuo grabbed Yang Huzi!
"I think I should be the one to go! The items on the carriage are extremely important; it is more appropriate for Fellow Daoist Yang to look after them yourself!"
After Zhang Nuo's thoughts turned rapidly, he spoke these words! The things on the carriage were related to the life and death of the Giant Spirit Pavilion; if they were lost in his hands, there would be no way to explain it. Furthermore, there was a battle raging on the immortal mountain ahead; if Zhang Nuo could establish his prestige in this battle, his status would not be too low after joining the Giant Spirit Pavilion in the future!
Based on the above reasons, Zhang Nuo decided that he would go to assist in the battle! Yang Huzi lowered his head and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement! At once, an escape light rose from Zhang Nuo's body, and he disappeared in the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain!
With Zhang Nuo's escape speed, it did not take long before he saw two groups of people fighting in a chaotic mess amidst the clouds and mist of the immortal mountain. Bursts of battle cries shook the heavens and moved the earth, and the brilliance of various Magic Treasures constantly erupted from the immortal mountain.
Speeding up, Zhang Nuo rushed into the interior of the immortal mountain in an instant. Once inside, Zhang Nuo saw clearly that the mountain was covered in corpses, and disciples from both sides were fighting fiercely!
From the clothing they wore, Zhang Nuo quickly distinguished which side was the Giant Spirit Pavilion and which was the Tiangui Sect! What a heaven-sent opportunity! Thinking this in his heart, Sword Qi flashed across Zhang Nuo's fingertips, and with one strike, he killed several Tiangui Sect disciples. These disciples only had Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation; how could they be his opponents?
Encountering almost no resistance, Zhang Nuo killed his way down, slaying dozens of Tiangui Sect cultivators. As a result, an old man in the high-altitude battle group quickly noticed him!
Seeing that old man's figure flicker, he arrived in front of Zhang Nuo after a few flashes, his eyes steaming with killing intent as he looked at him very unkindly!
"Who are you? Why are you killing my Tiangui Sect disciples?"
Zhang Nuo's forward-rushing figure paused. He scanned the old man in front of him and saw that this person had dark skin, and his aged face revealed a trace of an eerie aura! His cultivation was only around the Golden Core Middle Stage.
"And who are you?"
Standing in place with his hands behind his back, Zhang Nuo asked back calmly.
"This old man is the Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect!"
Although he sensed the Nascent Soul Stage aura emanating from Zhang Nuo, this Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect still looked fearless, as if he were not afraid of him at all!
"Hmph! Don't talk about being the Second Elder; even if you were the First Elder, I would send you to hell today!"
While speaking, Zhang Nuo's expression suddenly turned cold. As he flicked his ten fingers in succession, several pale white Sword Qi rays shot out, all of them slashing toward the Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect!
Seeing the opponent attack, this Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect was slightly startled. It seemed that this young cultivator in front of him must be a reinforcement invited by the Giant Spirit Pavilion! However, he had heard of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the surrounding sects, and he had never heard of such a young kid!
Seeing the Sword Qi attacking, he could not afford to think too much. His figure flickered, and he rushed directly into the high sky. Zhang Nuo let out another cold snort, his figure suddenly flying up, and he was actually much faster than that Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect!
In almost the blink of an eye, Zhang Nuo caught up to this person. With a slight opening of his mouth, a silver light was spat out. The next moment, he grabbed the silver light with one hand and pointed into the void at the Tiangui Sect Second Elder in front!
*Whoosh! * A sound of breaking through the air rang out. The white light elongated at an extremely fast speed, and with a *swish*, it pierced through the Second Elder's chest. Poor Second Elder of the Tiangui Sect, he didn't even figure out who his opponent was before he fell! Only then did the Magic Treasure in Zhang Nuo's hand dim its brilliance and reveal its original appearance.
It was none other than the 'Measuring Heaven Ruler'! After Zhang Nuo advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, this small ruler had been tempered by his Infant Fire and was no longer what it used to be!
With a flick of his palm, Zhang Nuo retracted the small ruler and put the corpse of the Tiangui Sect Second Elder into the 'Seven Kill Ring'. He scanned the sky with his Divine Sense and saw that at the top of Yulong Immortal Mountain, three cultivators were fighting intensely!
Among the three, Zhang Nuo determined from the appearance of one that he was the First Leader of the Giant Spirit Pavilion, Zhou Huizheng, but he did not recognize the other two!
Zhou Huizheng looked to be in his fifties, his black hair dancing in the wind, and several Magic Treasures hovered around him. Having entered the Nascent Soul Late Stage many years ago, he was dealing with two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators from the Tiangui Sect single-handedly without falling behind at all!
Zhang Nuo had wiped out the Tiangui Sect Second Elder in a single move, which had already been noticed by the two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the sky. At once, one of them flickered and broke away from the battle group, charging directly toward Zhang Nuo!
"Who is it? How dare you meddle in our Tiangui Sect's affairs!"
The person speaking looked very young, actually on par with Zhang Nuo, but his face was terrifyingly white! There wasn't even a trace of blood color! His cultivation was one small realm higher than Zhang Nuo's, and the Spiritual Pressure already surging on his body, coupled with his anger, became even more rampant!
"I have already told this question to the Second Elder of your Tiangui Sect!"
Zhang Nuo's calm words were unruffled; facing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, he still did not have the slightest fear!
"You..."
The white-faced cultivator was even more enraged after hearing Zhang Nuo's words! As his hands closed and then parted, he revealed a black Iron Spear. This Iron Spear was only half a foot long, and its entire body was shrouded in black Qi, a stark contrast to the cultivator's white face!
"A mere kid at the Nascent Soul Early Stage dares to be so arrogant! Today, this old man will definitely make you regret it!"
Although the white-faced cultivator looked young, he referred to himself as 'this old man', so he must have used some secret technique to make his appearance look young!
"Alright! I would like to see what kind of methods you have!"
Zhang Nuo spoke easily, but he had long since made precautions in his heart. With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he changed several hand seals in succession, mobilizing all the Magic Treasures within his body!
This was his first time facing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, and he absolutely dared not be the slightest bit careless! Seeing the white-faced cultivator hold the black Iron Spear with one hand and squeeze it hard, the Iron Spear actually burst open with a *boom*, turning into black Qi that floated in front of him.
Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly and scanned the black Qi with his Divine Sense, only to feel an extremely unstable fluctuation of Spirit Power coming from the black Qi of the exploded Iron Spear.
"Fellow Daoist! Many thanks for your help! This old man is deeply grateful! The person in front of you is named: Ji Gui, and he is the number three figure in the Tiangui Sect!"
Just as Zhang Nuo was about to make a move, a sound transmission entered his ears. Looking up, it turned out that Zhou Huizheng was secretly telling him!
"My name is Zhang Nuo, a friend of Fellow Daoist Yang! I have come specifically to assist your pavilion this time! I can still handle a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator!"
Also transmitting his voice back, Zhang Nuo stated his identity! The battle in the sky was even more intense at this moment, and after several flashes of light, Zhou Huizheng did not transmit his voice back again!
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhang Nuo re-examined the man named Ji Gui. It seemed that no matter what, he had to kill this person today, otherwise it would be difficult to establish prestige within the Giant Spirit Pavilion!
Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo flicked his hand lightly, and light flashed in front of him as more than a dozen Flying Swords appeared in a row! After being tempered by the Infant Fire, these Flying Swords were even more dazzling!
Suddenly pointing at Ji Gui in front, a dragon roar rang out, and one of the Flying Swords transformed into a silver Silver Dragon about a zhang long, pouncing over with bared fangs and brandished claws!
