Chapter 1136

Outside the Xian Sect, a hundred li away, there stood a towering mountain range.

This mountain range stretched for thousands of li from south to north, yet its peak seemed as if it had been flattened by a single line!

From afar, this mountain range looked like a high wall!

The setting sun sank!

Sunlight slanted down upon this mountain ridge, spilling a sheet of gold.

At this very moment, He Pingsheng stood upon this mountain ridge with Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue.

Before him stood two more Heavenly Immortal realm powerhouses.

"See?" He Pingsheng pointed at Lu Xiaoci beside him and said: "From today on, she is your master!"

"Do not underestimate Lu Xiaoci—she is the sect master of the Honglian Immortal Valley, and she has left her name on the Qiankun Immortal City's Firm Dao Divine Stele, ranking ninety-second, far surpassing you two!"

The two bowed respectfully to Lu Xiaoci with clasped hands.

He Pingsheng waved his hand and said: "Go..."

The two rose from the golden mountain ridge and flew off again to surveil the Xian Sect.

The great sun in the west!

Slowly sinking below the horizon.

The sunlight gathered its last ray of light!

The originally golden mountain ridge turned red, then faded into a dull hue.

In an instant, night fell.

Amid the endless mountains and wilderness around, beasts roared and howled without cease.

"Pū tēng..." Chi Zhongyue, now like a completely different person, suddenly knelt before He Pingsheng and said: "He Shidi... oh no... He Shushu, I... I want to start life anew!"

He Pingsheng smiled, reached out, and pulled her up: "No problem!"

"Some past things aren't your fault—just understand and it's fine!"

"Mm!" Chi Zhongyue said: "This name of mine isn't auspicious either—heaven-born life is bitter!"

"To make a clean break with the past, I still ask He Shushu to help me choose a new name!"

He Pingsheng said: "Also don't keep calling me Shushu, Shushu—just call me Shidi as before; if you feel that's improper, you can call me Shixiong!"

"All right!" Chi Zhongyue smiled faintly, two dimples appearing on her pure white face: "I'll follow you—from now on I'll call you Shixiong!"

Moonlight like water!

At one moment, the wild beasts also ceased their howling.

He Pingsheng found a bare blue stone, sat cross-legged upon it, while Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue stood before him.

He gazed upward and said: "Chi Zhongyue, how could you compare to the moon in heaven?"

"Why not just call you Heavenly Moon?"

"No good!" Lu Xiaoci said: "Since we want to make a clean break with yesterday, in my view, just call her 【Future Moon】."

Pa...

He Pingsheng slapped his thigh hard and said: "This is good—just call her Future Moon!"

"Is it okay?"

He then looked at Chi Zhongyue to seek her opinion.

A satisfied smile appeared on the woman's face, then she bowed gratefully to Lu Xiaoci and He Pingsheng: "Thank you, elder sister and elder brother, for your care. From today on, this humble one shall be called Future Moon, and will surely repay the sect, even unto death!"

The three sat down together.

He Pingsheng then took out some immortal brew and began to sip it slowly.

Unbeknownst to them, even the bright moon in the heavens had begun to tilt westward.

"He Shidi!" Lu Xiaoci asked: "Let me come over to watch the capture of the adulterer—why haven't we seen the adulterer yet?"

He Pingsheng smiled: "Don't rush—just wait a bit, and they'll appear!"

"Should be soon!"

Xian Sect!

In the main hall of Dugu Bai Yun.

Besides Dugu Bai Yun, there were four other Heavenly Immortals seated in meditation.

"Ancestor... the information is absolutely correct!"

"This is what our insider personally witnessed!"

"He Pingsheng has returned, and... his cultivation has already reached the Earth Immortal realm!"

"I know the information is correct!" Dugu Bai Yun's face darkened as he said: "But... have you considered one problem—our White Cloud Immortal Sect's strength is no longer dominant!"

"Even if we now mobilize the entire sect, we may not necessarily defeat them!"

The strength of the White Cloud Immortal Sect was once very great.

But in recent years, the loss of Heavenly Immortals has been considerable.

First, He Pingsheng used the sword given by that heavenly sound to slay three Heavenly Immortals!

Later, when only He Pingsheng was present, he was again caused to die two by the Honglian!

Thus, five were lost in total.

Now, counting Dugu Bai Yun himself, the entire White Cloud Immortal Sect has only five Heavenly Immortals left.

"Damned thing!" Dugu Bai Yun cursed, saying: "If we were to wait a few more years, until I have everything ready and advance to the Mystic Immortal realm, then the Honglian Immortal Valley would surely die without doubt!"

"But this dog He Pingsheng has come at this critical juncture!"

"It puts me in a difficult position!"

Du Gu Bai Yun had already reached the twelfth layer of the Great Perfection in the Celestial Immortal realm.

A few years ago, he had already tried to break through by consuming pills.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed in breaking through.

He still had a pill in his hand, originally intending to adjust his physical condition and wait until his body's resistance period passed before attempting another breakthrough.

After all, the success rate of breaking through would be somewhat higher at that time.

But He Pingsheng did not give him that time.

"Like this!" Du Gu Bai Yun said: "Although our Bai Yun Xian Sect cannot swallow the Honglian Xian Valley in one bite, but if we join forces with Kunwu Mountain, there will be no problem!"

"Now we and Kunwu Mountain are grasshoppers tied to the same rope; if He Pingsheng is allowed to grow, we will all die!"

"Therefore... you go one person, immediately go to Kunwu Mountain to discuss cooperation!"

"I believe they will certainly agree!"

"Good!" A black-clad Celestial Immortal stood up: "Master, I will go!"

"Go!"

The black-clad cultivator walked out of the dojo, then whooshed and flew into the void!

However, as soon as he flew out of the range of this Bai Yun Xian Sect, he was intercepted by a fellow Celestial Immortal.

"Who are you?" The elder of Bai Yun Xian Sect frowned: "Why are you near our sect?"

The one who intercepted the black-clad person was indeed one of Lu Xiaoci's servants, named 【Xuanji】.

Xuanji said: "Honglian Xian Valley has issued an order; you cannot leave this place!"

"Slash..." After saying that, Xuanji did not hesitate, directly waving his hand and activating a talisman.

Boom...

A purple-red sword light, carrying the sword intent that pierces heaven and earth, burst out violently, instantly slaying that black-clad Celestial Immortal.

The residual power of that sword light did not diminish, and it fiercely struck a certain mountain ridge, leaving a trace over a thousand zhang long on the ground.

At that moment, all the immortals in Bai Yun Xian Sect were shocked.

"What does this mean?"

"Just now... that was... a top-grade immortal talisman?"

"Oh my heavens!"

The remaining four Celestial Immortals including Du Gu Bai Yun were instantly numb.

I did not expect that they had already surrounded our sect.

Moreover, there were four Celestial Immortals.

The key point is that the opponent still has three top-grade immortal talismans in hand.

"Sect Grand Formation... quickly open the sect's defensive grand formation!" Du Gu Bai Yun's deep voice echoed within the sect.

Rumble...

At that moment, a bright light curtain rose from the ground, covering the entire sect.

"Hehehe..." He Pingsheng, sitting on a mountain beam in the distance, chuckled and said: "Did you see that? He is flustered!"

"Now they have tied themselves up like a cocoon, and not a single person can escape!"
