Chapter 688: Wuling Mountain

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Nuo had already spent fifty years within the "Eight Thousand Array Dao." This number did not count for much in the outside world, but within the array, it was an extremely long stretch of time! Converted, it was a full five thousand years long!

During these fifty years, the True Immortal Realm had undergone tremendous changes! Li Siliang found Jialouluo, and after several discussions, they had intended to wait for the others to advance to the True Immortal Realm before going to Wuling Mountain to rescue the members of the Shunxian Faction!

But what they never expected was that, by some unknown method, the Immortal Lord had actually detected the hiding place of Jialouluo and the others.

This Immortal Lord personally emerged from his cave, leading a group of cultivators from the Anti-Immortal Faction, and blocked Jialouluo and the others inside an underground karst cave! After several battles, several cultivators on Jialouluo's side fell! In the end, only Jiufang Yi, Ai Yuchen, Zhuanlun Wang, Jialouluo, and Li Siliang remained!

This result left Jialouluo with a feeling of wanting to cry! It had been so difficult to find so many Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators from the lower realm, yet before they could even advance, most of them had already fallen!

The reason Jiufang Yi and the others did not fall was that they had advanced to the True Immortal Realm a step ahead of the others. Although they were only at the One-fold Realm, their comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth was far higher by a level!

Finally, forced into a corner, Li Siliang used a powerful escape technique to take the others away from the underground cave together. However, because this teleportation distance was too great, Li Siliang exhausted almost all of his vital energy, becoming no different from a mortal! He would not be able to recover to his previous strength within a thousand years!

Faced with this situation, Jialouluo had no choice but to stake everything on a single throw and take action early! He had Jiufang Yi and Zhuanlun Wang go to other parts of the True Immortal Realm to cause disturbances and distract the members of the Anti-Immortal Faction, while he and Ai Yuchen secretly snuck toward Wuling Mountain!

Only by rescuing the trapped True Immortals of the Shunxian Faction would they have a glimmer of hope for survival! Not daring to fly in the high sky, the two could only rely on escape techniques to travel underground! As a result, their speed was much slower!

Several years later, Jialouluo and his companion finally arrived at the foot of Wuling Mountain! They swept their Divine Sense toward the massive mountain peak, and were immediately taken by great surprise!

They saw that surrounding Wuling Mountain, there were countless Anti-Immortal Faction cultivators standing guard, among whom were two cultivators at the Second Realm of the True Immortal stage! The rest were all existences at the Great Accomplishment Stage!

After weighing the gap between them, Jialouluo whispered to Ai Yuchen:

"Fairy Ai! Do you have the confidence to hold off the two True Immortal stage cultivators opposite us?"

Hearing this, Ai Yuchen shook her head like a rattle-drum! What a joke; she was only at the One-fold Realm now, and to deal with two Second Realm existences alone was like a fool dreaming! Furthermore, she had only just advanced, and she held no advantage in either combat experience or Magic Treasure!

Seeing Ai Yuchen like this, Jialouluo's heart sank! After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision!

"Let's do this! You go and undo the seal of Wuling Mountain, and I will hold off the two True Immortals! Remember! There is only one chance; if we fail, we will not escape death!"

After speaking, Jialouluo sent an Array Disk the size of half a foot to Ai Yuchen! The woman looked at the Array Disk, not daring to reach out and take it for a long time! She knew this concerned the fate of the True Immortal Realm; once she failed, everything they had done before would be in vain!

But there was no other way at the moment! Finally, Ai Yuchen bit her lip and took the Array Disk with her jade hand! This Dharma Array had been specially made by Li Siliang for the seal of Wuling Mountain, and it was unique in the world!

"Fellow Daoist Jialouluo! Even if this little woman falls here, I will do my utmost to activate the Array Disk and undo the seal of Wuling Mountain!"

Looking at the young woman's firm reply, Jialouluo nodded slightly. At this moment, how he wished Zhang Nuo were also here; perhaps there could still be a turning point! Unfortunately, Zhang Nuo had been cultivating in the "Eight Thousand Array Dao" all along!

If their previous hiding place hadn't been discovered, Jialouluo wouldn't have taken such a risk! Thinking of this, he prayed silently in his heart that Zhang Nuo would come out of seclusion soon!

After the two discussed the details again, Jialouluo rushed out first! With a slight opening of his mouth, a Small Umbrella was spat out by him!

As the Small Umbrella spun, it transformed into a streak of black light and flew rapidly to the top of Wuling Mountain! With a soft 'pop', the Small Umbrella opened and immediately grew rapidly in size! In the blink of an eye, it was already tens of thousands of miles large, shrouding the entire Wuling Mountain within it!

At the same time, the cultivators guarding Wuling Mountain also discovered this! Before they could react, a rolling whistling sound came from inside the giant umbrella, and black clouds surged out, transforming into sharp swords that slashed down toward the members of the Anti-Immortal Faction below!

Caught off guard, several Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators were immediately slashed in two by the swords formed from the black clouds! As for the two True Immortal existences, they managed to defend against these attacks!

Just as they wanted to find out who had attacked, the giant umbrella in the sky let out a roar, and then large swathes of black clouds rolled toward Wuling Mountain! In an instant, the mountain rocks shattered, and the entire great mountain turned into dust as if it were dry wood!

In the very center of Wuling Mountain, a straight, cyan, cylindrical light prison appeared! It was tens of thousands of feet high and covered an area of a thousand miles! Inside the light prison, a dozen figures were vaguely visible! Those were the True Immortals of the Shunxian Faction sealed here!

Upon seeing the cyan pillar of light appear, Jialouluo flashed and rushed directly into mid-air, his Divine Sea manifestation appearing behind him as he launched a fierce attack against the two True Immortal existences!

As for those Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators of the Anti-Immortal Faction, they were beaten by the giant umbrella in the high sky such that they only had the power to parry and no power to fight back!

Seeing all this, Ai Yuchen flew out and rushed all the way to the top of the giant umbrella before stopping, standing in mid-air with one foot on the top of the umbrella! As she shook the Array Disk in her hand, countless rays of spiritual light surged backward! As the woman's hand incantations continued, the Array Disk burst out with several humming sounds!

"Jialouluo! I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

A middle-aged man from the Anti-Immortal Faction wearing a golden robe looked coldly at Jialouluo in mid-air, his steel teeth almost biting through! They had been ordered by the Immortal Lord to guard Wuling Mountain here; if they failed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Fellow Daoist Qixian! It has been many years, and your prestige remains undiminished!"

Jialouluo just sneered, cold light flashing in his eyes as his surging killing intent burst forth!

"And me!"

A voice rang out from Jialouluo's side, and following the voice, a Flying Sword that was entirely emerald green slashed toward Jialouluo! With a backhand wave, a black Flying Sword emerged from Jialouluo's sleeve, and with a loud 'boom', it blocked the incoming green Flying Sword to the side!

"Fellow Daoist Changsong! You are living quite well too, aren't you?"

With a cold, piercing gaze, Jialouluo saw an old Daoist wearing a white Daoist robe! This person had three long wisps of beard floating in front of his chest, looking like a man of Daoist bones and immortal wind!

"Hehe! Jialouluo, if you want to rescue them, you must first get past the two of us!"

Changsong Daoist let out a cold laugh and looked at the huge cyan pillar of light!

"That is no trouble for you two! This Venerable One has his own methods!"

As the Divine Sea manifestation behind Jialouluo trembled, the black clouds within it surged out wildly, assimilating the surrounding space as well! Dark clouds filled the sky! Over a hundred black whirlpools of various sizes formed rapidly!

These whirlpools sank slowly, like tornadoes, tearing the surrounding void to shreds!

"Fellow Daoist Changsong! You go and deal with the female cultivator above; leave Jialouluo to me!"

Qixian moved his Divine Sense and sensed Ai Yuchen, who was manipulating the array disk at the top of the umbrella! The key to this battle was not on Jialouluo; even if Jialouluo were killed, it would not stop the Wuling Mountain seal from being broken!

Changsong Laodao nodded slightly, and his figure wanted to rush out of this space and fly toward the top of the umbrella! But just as his figure moved, a loud noise erupted in the heavens and earth, and in the mid-air that had been assimilated by Jialouluo's Divine Sea manifestation, several black whirlpools fell like lightning, wrapping the space within a thousand miles around them like a cage!

"Jialouluo, you have used so much power to trap the two of us; are you not afraid of death?"

Qixian frowned slightly. Jialouluo's actions were nothing more than wanting to protect the female cultivator on top of the umbrella from being attacked, but doing so placed him under no small amount of pressure! Even with the cultivation of the Three-Tier, it was impossible to be of two minds! Moreover, Qixian and Changsong were both True Immortals of the Second Realm!

"Death? Haha! Jialouluo should have died several years ago; being able to live until today can be considered heaven's favor!"

Laughing loudly, Jialouluo had a feeling of being ready to meet his end! He raised his hand and grabbed toward the space above his head, and immediately a black whirlpool fell into his hand, which he threw toward Qixian not far away!

Amidst the whistling sound, the black whirlpool, several tens of feet in size, was like a black evil dragon, opening its bloody maw to swallow Qixian!

"Fellow Daoist Changsong! It seems we can only kill Jialouluo with all our might to break this Ten Thousand Mile Floating Cloud Array!"

The white-robed old Daoist's expression was grave, and after nodding slightly, he also revealed his own Divine Sea manifestation! The space composed of Jialouluo's black clouds had been famous in the True Immortal Realm back then, so the two of them did not dare to underestimate it!

Rays of light of various colors flashed around the periphery of the cyan pillar of light! Jialouluo, with his own strength, fought two Second Realm True Immortals alone and still did not fall into a disadvantage!

Ai Yuchen at the top of the umbrella turned a deaf ear to the battle below, focusing only on activating the Array Disk in her hand! As for those Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators of the Anti-Immortal Faction, they were forced by the black clouds in the giant umbrella to have no retreat at all, let alone attack the woman!

The humming sound of the Array Disk grew louder and louder, until finally, it could be heard clearly within a radius of ten thousand miles! Jialouluo, while resisting the two True Immortals, also had to pay attention to Ai Yuchen's movements! This distraction caused him to fall into dangerous situations several times!
