Chapter 1137: Profound Immortal Dugu

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Just at this moment, a talisman hanging from Lu Xiaoci's waist began to tremble.

It emitted a series of urgent sounds.

This was an 【Immortal Message Talisman】.

The Immortal Message Talisman is a special type of talisman; once successfully crafted, it is split into two, allowing the two to transmit messages to each other.

However, it can only be used twice—once back and forth.

After two uses, this Immortal Message Talisman will self-destruct.

Moreover, the distance for transmitting messages is limited; it is not infinitely far.

Of course, this also depends on the tier; the higher the tier of the Immortal Message Talisman, the further the transmission distance.

"Good news!" After opening the Immortal Message Talisman and reading it, Lu Xiaoci was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Junior Brother He, your Master just sent a message saying that all the Heavenly Immortals on Kunwu Mountain have now been slain!"

"Those Earth Immortals are also lining up, one by one, waiting to swear an oath to join the Red Lotus Immortal Valley!"

"That's great!" He Pingsheng let out a sigh of relief.

As long as Kunwu Mountain was settled, that was enough.

Kunwu Mountain had previously been guarded by Chu Sheng and his servants, and later Su Nian had also gone over to help.

Just as they were speaking, two streaks of light suddenly flew in from the northwest of the sect!

The arrivals were two Elders from the Red Lotus Immortal Valley.

Both were Earth Immortals.

One was an Elder from the Heavenly Elixir Pavilion, and the other was an Elder from the Heavenly Feather Pavilion.

Thump...

Thump...

Upon seeing Lu Xiaoci, the two of them knelt directly on the ground.

Lu Xiaoci was baffled, but He Pingsheng sneered and said, "Look, the traitors have come on their own, haven't they?"

"Ah?" Lu Xiaoci asked, "Are they the traitors?"

"We deserve to die..." The Heavenly Elixir Pavilion Elder slapped his own face twice and said, "We have come today only to beg the Sect Master to deal with us leniently!"

These two had previously passed information to the White Cloud Immortal Sect and Kunwu Mountain, but after sending the messages, they had waited a long time without receiving any response from the other side.

Upon inquiring, their legs had gone weak with fear; it turned out that Kunwu Mountain had already surrendered.

And the White Cloud Immortal Sect had already been beaten into hiding.

This was disastrous.

Once the White Cloud Immortal Sect fell, the evidence of their collusion with the enemy would fall into Lu Xiaoci's hands, and the punishment could be imagined.

Therefore, they had come to confess their crimes.

As for why the two did not run?

Run, my foot!

At this very moment, their nine generations of kin were all in the Red Lotus Immortal Valley, along with countless descendants and bloodline heirs.

If they ran, all their descendants would die.

"So it was you!" Lu Xiaoci's gaze was sharp: "Speak, how do you want me to show mercy?"

The Heavenly Elixir Pavilion Elder said, "We two know we deserve to die, and we are willing to die, only begging the Sect Master to spare our descendants!"

"If the Sect Master agrees, we will die now to atone for our crimes!"

Lu Xiaoci's face was livid, but for a moment, she did not know how to handle this.

He Pingsheng said, "You may. If you die to atone for your crimes, not only can you protect your descendants, but you can also preserve your own reputations!"

"The fact that you were internal traitors will never be known by others!"

"Really?" The two Elders were somewhat surprised.

Lu Xiaoci nodded: "Really... I can guarantee it!"

"Good!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Thank you, Junior Brother He!"

The two bowed to Lu Xiaoci and He Pingsheng respectively, then personally shattered their own skulls and perished on the spot.

He Pingsheng watched them perish and said, "Senior Sister, wait for me here. I will go make arrangements to invite the remaining Heavenly Immortals over as well, to deal with the White Cloud Immortal Sect together!"

"What do they want?" Dugu Bai Yun looked at one of the Heavenly Immortals.

Because this Heavenly Immortal had just exited the formation and negotiated with Xuanji and the others outside.

That Heavenly Immortal said, "Master... the latest news is that Kunwu Mountain has fallen!"

"All the Heavenly Immortals have been slain, and the Earth Immortals of Kunwu Mountain have sworn allegiance!"

"Now, the army from the Red Lotus Immortal Valley has surrounded us, saying that we must hand over the Heavenly Dao Slave Seals, and from now on, this White Cloud Immortal Sect will also be under the banner of their Red Lotus Immortal Valley!"

"Impossible, this is bullying us too far!" Dugu Bai Yun was enraged, and then with a bang, he raised his hand and smashed the table made of spirit wood in front of him into pieces.

"Master!" The Heavenly Immortal said again: "I saw with my own eyes that those people have several top-tier third-tier Immortal Talismans in their hands!"

"Once activated, they can slay Heavenly Immortals!"

"Even... even... even if you, Master, are now at the twelfth layer of the Heavenly Immortal Stage, I fear it would be difficult to withstand!"

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

Dugu Bai Yun closed his eyes, took two deep, ragged breaths, and said, "This old man can only take a risk once!"

"I am taking the risk to break through now!"

"If the breakthrough succeeds, I can slaughter that brat He Pingsheng the moment I step out!"

"Once he is dead, the rest of them are nothing to fear!"

"If my breakthrough fails!" Dugu Bai Yun looked at his disciple and said, "You go out later and negotiate with them!"

"Now, the three of you, guard me!"

"Yes!" The three disciples walked out of the great hall, each guarding one side.

Dugu Bai Yun took out a golden elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.

Breaking through to the Profound Immortal stage is similar to ascending from the lower realm to the Immortal Realm.

Not only is there a success rate, but once it fails, one must wait many years before attempting the breakthrough again.

One must clear away the medicinal power and negative aura from one's body.

Otherwise, it will greatly affect the success rate of the breakthrough.

Dugu Bai Yun was in this situation; the last breakthrough had not been successful, and there were still two or three years until the next opportunity.

Although there were still some negative influences on his success rate, he had no choice.

If the success rate is low, so be it!

If it succeeds, go out and slaughter He Pingsheng.

If it fails, go out and reach an agreement with He Pingsheng to see if there is any way to compromise.

A massive amount of energy exploded within Dugu Bai Yun's body like a bomb.

Wave after wave!

Dugu Bai Yun's face also revealed an expression of extreme pain.

However, after about a few breaths, his expression suddenly shifted from extreme pain to extreme comfort.

Boom...

A majestic force erupted from his dantian and swept outward!

The entire great hall used for seclusion collapsed instantly.

The six-layer barrier outside the great hall was also broken at this moment with a series of clinking sounds.

The three disciples guarding outside were each pushed back a thousand zhang.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Pfft..."

"Master..."

"Master has broken through... Master has broken through..."

Dugu Bai Yun's three disciples were overjoyed.

"Hahaha..." Dugu Bai Yun stood up from the ruins of the great hall with a hearty laugh.

"You three, continue to guard me!"

"This old man only needs half a day to stabilize my realm!"

"Half a day from now will be the time of He Pingsheng's death!"

Outside!

Dawn was approaching!

He Pingsheng had returned and was still sitting on the mountain ridge.

The stars in the void were gradually disappearing, a glimmer of light had already appeared on the eastern horizon, and a few clouds near the horizon were dyed blood-red.

"Day is breaking!" He Pingsheng stared at the morning glow.

Lu Xiaoci asked with some worry: "Junior Brother, when exactly are we attacking?"

He Pingsheng said: "No rush... wait a moment... soon... my fourth-tier Immortal Talisman paper is coming!" ===== CHAPTER 1138 =====
