Chapter 915: Longkong

"Not good! Enemy invasion!" Qiyuan Sect disciples were practicing in the training field in front of the mountain gate when suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out from afar.

Instantly, the entire mountain gate's disciples were in an uproar.

Many disciples also flew out quickly from their cave dwellings and arrived at the training field in front of the mountain gate.

"Reporting to the Elder, a large number of cultivators from the Xuanmu Sect are coming toward our mountain gate. They look aggressive."

A disciple hurriedly reported to the sect's Elder.

The original Elders of the Qiyuan Sect were not all in cahoots with that ancestor and sect leader.

These people naturally survived; most were at the Primordial Spirit stage, and one had even reached the half-step Earth Immortal stage.

As long as they passed the Earth Immortal lightning tribulation, they could become immortals.

"Xuanmu Sect!"

A group of Elders and some true disciples changed their expressions upon hearing this.

The Xuanmu Sect was a sect ten thousand li southeast of their Qiyuan Sect, and its strength was even greater than their Qiyuan Sect.

Within the sect, there was a Heavenly Immortal ancestor, and as for Earth Immortal-level cultivators, there were three or five, and there were thousands of disciples under the sect.

The two sides had had friction before, naturally for the sake of cultivation resources.

It was just that before, their sect had two Earth Immortals, especially that ancestor who was at the peak of the Earth Immortal stage.

Even the Xuanmu Sect did not dare to easily provoke them.

After all, in this Nanzhan Buzhou, sects were numerous. Within a radius of one hundred thousand li, there were no fewer than dozens of sects, large and small.

Small ones had only two or three kittens in the sect, while large ones like the Xuanmu Sect had thousands of disciples.

So the Xuanmu Sect naturally had enemies as well.

Nanzhan Buzhou had developed for so many years, and resources were limited, so the competition between sects was also very fierce.

The top-tier sects might have a little less.

After all, these top-tier sects were almost all established by those immortals and gods. The immortals and gods themselves knew each other, and the sects they established, even if not Grotto-Heavens, occupied excellent Blessed Lands.

They were not very short of resources either.

Moreover, because these sects were powerful, their influence was not limited to Nanzhan Buzhou; they could also dabble in the other three continents.

Their resources were far from comparable to sects like the Xuanmu Sect.

The struggles between small and medium-sized sects were the most severe in Nanzhan Buzhou.

Nanzhan Buzhou was not a peaceful land; the struggles between the human race and the demon race, and within the human race, would never stop.

The Xuanmu Sect and the Qiyuan Sect had once fought over a thousand-year Vermilion Fruit, and in the battle between them, Spirit Refining cultivators comparable to the Primordial Spirit stage had died.

So there was enmity between the two.

Now that the Xuanmu Sect had arrived suddenly, it was very likely they knew the Qiyuan Sect's original Earth Immortal ancestor had died.

"Quick, go invite the seniors."

Several Elders understood the situation and knew that this time, the Xuanmu Sect had an Earth Immortal leading the way, bringing three hundred disciples, and their expressions changed instantly.

The original Qiyuan Sect had only about five hundred disciples, and after Su Fan and the others arrived, over a hundred disciples were weeded out and killed.

Only a little over three hundred remained.

Although in the past year or two, the Qiyuan Sect had also begun to recruit disciples on a large scale, the number of disciples in the sect suddenly increased to about fifteen hundred.

However, most of these new disciples were young children or half-grown kids, and they had no cultivation at all.

They still had to rely on themselves.

However, they were already weaker than the Xuanmu Sect, and the two Earth Immortals were dead, so they were naturally no match.

"Elder! The two seniors have long since gone down the mountain to the mortal cities."

A disciple couldn't help but say.

"What?"

The Elder's expression changed wildly upon hearing this.

The two seniors were naturally Su Fan and Zhang Liang. Although they were not clear about the two's cultivation, they had easily slain the sect leader and the ancestor, so their strength must be above the Earth Immortal level.

So the Elders originally had quite a bit of confidence.

But at this moment, hearing that both seniors were not at the mountain gate, they were momentarily dumbfounded.

"Which city did the two seniors go to?"

"Quickly send someone to ask for help!"

An Elder immediately recovered and hurriedly roared: "The rest, immediately return to the main hall and activate the mountain-guarding array."

"No matter what, we must hold out until the seniors return."

Elder Xie looked serious and immediately began to command. As the Elder with the strongest strength and highest seniority in the Qiyuan Sect today,

Elder Xie's words naturally met with no opposition; this was also the best method.

Thus, the Qiyuan Sect disciples quickly returned to the main hall of the mountain gate. Several Elders looked at each other and immediately came to the side of the six coiled-dragon pillars in the main hall.

Their hands quickly formed Dharma seals and struck them onto these six coiled-dragon pillars.

In an instant, the coiled-dragon pillars vibrated, and the entire main hall also moved. Immediately, the coiled-dragon pillars of the main hall emitted several rays of light that shot into the sky.

The light transformed into pillars of light, slowly converging into a single point in the sky, and then this huge node began to release flowing light like a water curtain, enveloping the Qiyuan Sect's mountain gate.

A huge, inverted bowl-shaped cyan light curtain enveloped the Qiyuan Sect's mountain gate.

And just at this moment, the people of the Xuanmu Sect had already arrived, three hundred people stepping on flying swords, arriving in the air at the Qiyuan Sect's mountain gate.

"Hiss!"

"Changkong Li, it's actually him!"

Seeing the man in the lead, the expressions of some Elders of the Qiyuan Sect below changed.

Clearly, they all recognized this person.

Changkong Li, the most monstrous disciple of the Xuanmu Sect in the last ten thousand years.

It was rumored that eight hundred years ago, he was valued by an Earth Immortal Elder of the Xuanmu Sect, who took him as a disciple.

It was said that at the time, that Elder saw Changkong Li's sword bone when he was still a child and was overjoyed, taking him as a disciple on the spot.

He brought him back to the Xuanmu Sect.

Afterward, this person did not disappoint that Elder, and in a mere three hundred years, he passed the tribulation to become an immortal, becoming an Earth Immortal-level Sword Immortal.

Of course, if it were just becoming an immortal in three hundred years, it wouldn't be anything, although this cultivation speed was indeed very astonishing.

But in Nanzhan Buzhou, it was not as if there were no such people; some disciples of major sects with good talent and foundation, plus sufficient resources, had no problem passing the tribulation to become immortals in three hundred years.

But what followed was when Changkong Li truly rose to prominence.

Changkong Li, who had just broken through to the Earth Immortal stage, did not stay in the sect but went directly to the Yeyuo Mountain Range.

To take revenge.

Back then, his master, in order to collect materials for him to refine his natal sword, went to Yeyuo Mountain to search for a Nine-Night Fire Spirit.

As a result, he was killed by a tiger demon there.

That tiger demon was a late-stage Earth Immortal demon, its strength was above Changkong Li's master, and it also occupied the geographical advantage.

Changkong Li's master was devoured.

Changkong Li only learned of this matter after passing the tribulation to become an immortal, so he immediately killed his way into the Yeyuo Mountain Range to search for that tiger demon.

Finally, ten years later, he found this demon.

And then fought a great battle with it.

In this battle, he, at the initial Earth Immortal stage, slew the tiger demon that was almost at the peak of the Earth Immortal stage, and also slew six companions of the Earth Immortal-level demons.

This battle also established his reputation as the Changkong Sword Immortal.

In the few hundred years since, he had traveled to the demon race's lands many times to subdue demons and eliminate monsters. Most recently, he, with his late-stage Earth Immortal cultivation, slew a Heavenly Immortal-level Great Demon. ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
