Chapter 451: Shocking the Immortal Illusion

Liu Qingshan frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Nuo's move was perhaps a bit too grand! If the forces of other Immortal Mountains could be united, annihilating the Great Underworld Mansion would not be impossible! But people are different; this time, the Great Underworld Mansion's main target is the Giant Spirit Pavilion, so it is hard to say whether other forces will be willing to intervene!

Seeing Liu Qingshan's somewhat troubled expression, Zhang Nuo said indifferently:

"Elder Liu! I think it is better for you to handle this matter personally. Additionally, you must help them analyze the stakes. The most important point is that although my Giant Spirit Pavilion is taking the lead, after we conquer 'Hongjun Immortal Mountain', all the spoils of war will belong to them!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo's mind was made up, Liu Qingshan did not say anything more, nodding slightly:

"Rest assured, Pavilion Master! I will do my best!"

At this moment, Yang Huzi walked up to Zhang Nuo and said with some hesitation:

"Fourth Brother! I have a few friends outside as well, why don't I go..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhang Nuo!

"Third Brother, you cannot go anywhere! You must stay on the Immortal Mountain! Although the Great Underworld Mansion has retreated this time, they are very likely to resort to desperate measures! Therefore, it won't do to have no experts guarding Yulong!"

Hearing that Zhang Nuo's words also had some merit, Yang Huzi dismissed the idea.

"Which force is currently the largest on the Xianhuan Continent?"

Zhang Nuo turned his head and asked Liu Qingshan.

"In terms of overall strength, perhaps only the Mo Tie Alliance is the strongest right now! Previously, when the Great Underworld Mansion was expanding its influence, it conquered many large sects, causing some to collapse, and the cultivators from those sects became Loose Cultivators and joined the Mo Tie Alliance!"

"Mo Tie Alliance!"

Zhang Nuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he entered the First Immortal Mountain back then, he had once met a cultivator from the Mo Alliance, who seemed to be called Shi Buquan! Now that he thought about it, this person might be of great use!

"Let's do this! As for the Mo Tie Alliance, I will go there personally after I come out of seclusion! You take charge of the other forces!"

After giving a few simple instructions, Zhang Nuo's figure flashed, and he flew toward his Cave Abode! The people in the great hall looked at each other and proceeded to act according to Zhang Nuo's previous orders!

On 'Hongjun Immortal Mountain', Qin Xiaofeng lowered his head slightly, his brows almost knitted together. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh!

Below him, Jin Buhuan and Chi Bilie both wore grave expressions! Neither of them made a sound!

"Zhang Nuo has actually grown to such an extent!"

A sentence that sounded somewhat astonished came from Qin Xiaofeng's mouth, finally breaking the silent atmosphere!

"According to the disciples who returned, Zhang Nuo invoked the Underworld King phantom at the time, and he also possesses the 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder'!"

"Underworld King phantom! Does that mean that Underworld Ancient Book is also in Zhang Nuo's hands?"

Qin Xiaofeng stood up abruptly from his chair, and two beams of cold light could no longer be suppressed from his eyes! To find this ancient book, he had spent a very long time on the Five Great Demon Mountains! He never expected that the final whereabouts of this ancient book would actually be with Zhang Nuo!

"Now that the Demon Emperor is dead, if we can obtain the ancient book, the Master will surely look at us with new eyes!"

Qin Xiaofeng did not care at all about the death of the Demon Emperor; in his heart, he had always wanted the Demon Emperor to die, and this time, Zhang Nuo had finally done him a great favor! However, those Great Underworld Mansion disciples who were slaughtered were a bit of a pity!

"Although this is a great merit, Brother Qin, that brat Zhang Nuo even destroyed the Demon Emperor's most prized 'Heavenly Demon Cauldron'. We must be wary of his divine abilities!"

A red glint flashed in Chi Bilie's eyes, and he immediately thought of something, saying with concern.

"You don't need to worry about that! 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder' is naturally endowed with the ability to restrain demonic objects, and for cultivators like us who practice Underworld cultivation methods, the restraint of 'Purple Lightning Wild Thunder' can be ignored!"

The Demon Emperor's Heavenly Demon Cauldron! Qin Xiaofeng was also very wary of it. For a long time, he had wanted to claim the Heavenly Demon Cauldron for himself, but the Small Tripod was the Demon Emperor's lifeblood, and he had failed several times! He never expected that in the battle with Zhang Nuo, such a treasure would be destroyed!

"That may be so, but the other divine abilities that brat Zhang Nuo possesses cannot be underestimated!"

Jin Buhuan recalled the previous battle with Zhang Nuo, and his heart was still faintly chilling. At that time, Zhang Nuo was only at the Golden Core Stage; now that he had stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, he was even more terrifying!

"Brother Jin, rest assured! This time, I will go with Brother Chi! I believe that even if Yulong Immortal Mountain is as solid as a rock, we will take it! As for Zhang Nuo, I want to go and experience his skills personally!"

After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Qin Xiaofeng suddenly said loudly.

"Brother Qin, you must not! The plan we laid out before has already been completely disrupted due to the Demon Emperor's failure, and we must deliberate carefully! Furthermore, the morale in the Giant Spirit Pavilion is high right now. If we attack at this time, with one side rising and the other falling, it will be greatly disadvantageous to us!"

Chi Bilie interrupted Qin Xiaofeng's words and analyzed the current situation one by one! Upon hearing this, the impulse in Qin Xiaofeng's heart diminished significantly, and he nodded slightly:

"What you say makes sense! Let's do this: first go and consolidate the cultivators in the Great Underworld Mansion, and then we will formulate a rigorous plan!"

Yulong Immortal Mountain had become the biggest stumbling block for the Great Underworld Mansion, so no matter what the cost, Qin Xiaofeng had to take it. On the other hand, the fact that Zhang Nuo held the Underworld Ancient Book gave him enough reason! During several conversations with the Master back then, he learned that this ancient book recorded a powerful secret technique of the Underworld! If one could practice even a little bit, it would be beneficial for one's cultivation!

It was just that Qin Xiaofeng did not know at this moment that the content of this Underworld Ancient Book was a Body Refining Technique, which was of no use to a cultivator like him who specialized in Dharma cultivation!

In Zhang Nuo's Cave Abode, after sitting cross-legged in meditation for half a month, he slowly opened his eyes. Although the battle with the Demon Emperor was extremely tragic, it had no impact on his body at all; on the contrary, it made several of his divine abilities even more refined! With his cultivation at this level!

Every major battle would provide him with a wealth of experience, which would be of great benefit and no harm for his future breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Stage! The more difficult the battle, the more it could temper his state of mind!

After another month or so, Zhang Nuo walked out of the Cave Abode, asked Yang Huzi about the affairs on the Immortal Mountain, and then set off to fly toward the main altar of the Mo Tie Alliance!

To annihilate the Great Underworld Mansion in one fell swoop, he must have the help of the Mo Tie Alliance. This alliance of Loose Cultivators could be said to be full of hidden talents! Once they agreed, this matter would be more than half successful!

The main altar of the Mo Tie Alliance was located to the east of Yulong Immortal Mountain. With Zhang Nuo's speed, he finally appeared in front of a large city after a few days!

This city was named Mo Tie and was founded by the Mo Tie Alliance. After more than a hundred years of development, the city was bustling and noisy! The area occupied by the main city was also increasing year by year!

After paying a certain amount of Spirit Stones, Zhang Nuo walked into the city. In order not to attract attention, he deliberately concealed much of his cultivation. At this time, if someone were to scan him with Divine Sense, he would appear to be at most a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator!

Walking slowly on the streets of Mo Tie City, Zhang Nuo discovered that the number of cultivators here far exceeded his imagination! Moreover, their cultivation levels were uneven! However, everyone was very orderly! Arriving in front of a shop, Zhang Nuo thought for a moment before stepping inside!

This shop could be said to be the largest in the city, with an endless stream of cultivators inside, and the sound of bargaining was wave after wave! Before coming into contact with the high-level members of the Mo Tie Alliance, Zhang Nuo had to understand the current situation in Mo Tie City! And a place like a shop, where dragons and snakes were mixed, was just right!

Standing in front of a counter, Zhang Nuo pretended to look at a Magic Treasure, while his ears were listening intently to the conversations of the people around him! Because there were many customers in the shop, the young clerk had no time to pay attention to him!

"Fellow Daoist Li, have you heard about the battle between the Giant Spirit Pavilion and the Great Underworld Mansion?"

A young cultivator asked a yellow-faced man beside him.

"Of course I've heard of it. If I didn't know about such a major event, how could I still be hanging around the Xianhuan Continent!"

The yellow-faced man glanced at the young cultivator with disdain.

"Since you know, Fellow Daoist, then you must also be clear about the Flying Sword used by Pavilion Master Zhang?"

The young cultivator acted mysterious, secretly scanning the people around him twice before lowering his voice and speaking.

"The newly appointed Pavilion Master of the Giant Spirit Pavilion has vast divine abilities, and his Flying Sword is even more unique, but I have only heard of it and have never seen it!"

The yellow-faced man shook his head slightly, looking very disappointed!

"I happen to have a Flying Sword here, and it came from the same furnace as the Flying Sword of Pavilion Master Zhang!"

As he spoke, the young cultivator took out a double-pointed Flying Sword from his robe sleeve, which looked somewhat similar to Zhang Nuo's Flying Sword!

When the yellow-faced man heard this, his gaze immediately fell on the Flying Sword, his expression changing strangely several times, his heart somewhat disbelieving!

Zhang Nuo stood to one side and heard these words, nearly laughing out loud! His Flying Sword was drawn from the Nine Dragon Sword Case, and he had never heard of any other Flying Sword in the world being forged in the same furnace as the Nine Dragon Sword Case! It seemed this young man wanted to use this reputation to swindle people!

Although the two spoke in extremely low voices, they were still heard by many cultivators; in an instant, dozens of people surged over, craning their necks to see what this thing was that supposedly came from the same furnace as the Flying Sword used by Zhang Nuo!

"Yours is nothing more than a low-grade Flying Sword, yet you claim it came from the same furnace as Pavilion Master Zhang's Flying Sword! What a joke!"

An elderly cultivator, whose cultivation was around the Golden Core Late Stage and who appeared to be a worldly-wise person, exposed the young cultivator's trickery in a single sentence!
