Chapter 163.2
The Shura Sect was located in the centre of the Shura battlefield. Many cave buildings were scattered around in disarray, but a huge palace in the middle stood out the most. The entire Shura Sect was shrouded in red mist, like a gathering of dark and bloodthirsty monsters.
While Xuan Zhen showed them the environment of the Shura battlefield, he explained the situation of the Shura Sect to everyone in detail.
When they heard that the Shura Sect had a Nascent Soul puppet, everyone frowned, but now that they had finally gathered accurate information about the Shura Sect, they no longer had to act blindly.
In response to the dangerous situation in the Shura Sect, even though the major sects often had friction with one another, they put aside their grudges at that moment to focus on discussing a strategy.
.
“Sect master, were you looking for me?” Fan Zhuo walked to the centre of the palace, stood there, and asked respectfully to the man in the palace.
“What’s been happening in the immortal sects recently?” He Liancheng, who was standing at the top of the palace, turned around and asked his subordinate.
His plan was nearing completion, but the Immortal Path had suddenly declared a truce and had remained inactive ever since. A sense of foreboding arose, making He Liancheng feel irritated.
“Except for the recent gathering of Core formation cultivators from several regions at the Tianfan Immortal Sect, there has been no movement since then,” Fan Zhuo replied truthfully.
Unfortunately, almost all of the spies they had planted in various areas had been removed. It was no longer as easy as before to gather information about the major sects, and they still hadn’t discovered why the Tianfan Immortal Sect had summoned everyone.
Then Fan Zhuo thought of something again and said to the person above him, “A strange thing happened in the Tianfan Immortal Sect more than half a month ago. Many people heard thunder coming from the Tianfan Immortal Sect. Some people suspected that it was the core formation tribulation, though I don’t know if it’s true.”
“Thunder?” He Liancheng’s fingers tapped on the armrest of the throne a few times, and the ominous feeling grew heavier and heavier.
“Is the boy who ruined my plan really dead?” He Liancheng asked worriedly. The person who could see through his plan was definitely not simple. If this person was still alive, there could be changes.
“At that time, the two of them were thrown into the sea by Hong Lian and were also caught in the strong whirlpool of the sea. There should be no possibility of survival.” Even so, Fan Zhuo didn’t believe it in his heart. He felt that both of them were still alive.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the palace, and even the floor beneath his feet shook violently. As if the premonition in his heart had been fulfilled, He Liancheng’s face instantly darkened.
A red figure suddenly appeared in the main hall. As soon as Hong Lian stood still, she hurriedly reported to the top, “Sect master, I don’t know when the Immortal Path sneaked into the Shura battlefield. The Shura Sect has been surrounded.”
“How is that possible?” Fan Zhuo’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that the Immortal Path had already reached the Shura Sect, and they weren’t even aware of it.
“Who is here?” He Liancheng was obviously much calmer than Fan Zhuo, and countless thoughts ran through his mind, considering how to use this opportunity.
“There are all seven sects from the five regions. Twenty Core formation cultivators are here. My subordinates also saw…”
Hong Lian suddenly paused for a moment when she said this, secretly glancing at the person above her before continuing, “My subordinates also saw that the boy named Li Tianyan was among them, and he had the aura of a core formation on him.”
“What did you say?” Fan Zhuo grabbed Hong Lian’s shoulders and yelled angrily, “If you hadn’t intervened last time, I would have killed him. Now, look at this— You let him advance to the core formation!”
Hearing that Li Tianyan had become a core formation cultivator, Fan Zhuo felt an inexplicable sense of fear. It seemed that the thunder from the Tianfan Immortal Sect was truly Li Tianyan’s core formation tribulation.
Thinking back to the last time they fought, Li Tianyan had only been at the peak of foundation establishment, yet he was already so difficult to deal with. What would happen if such a person advanced to the core formation?
“Really? You obviously couldn’t do anything to them, and you nearly lost the puppet. I was kind enough to help you, and now you’re blaming me?” Hong Lian crossed her arms, looking at him with a mocking smile on her face.
“That’s enough. At a time like this, you’re still bickering? You two, immediately lead the Shura Sect into battle.” He Liancheng interrupted the two of them and gave his orders.
Then he coldly added, “If anyone dares to retreat, kill them.”
“Yes.” The two below him felt the pressure surrounding them, immediately stopped arguing, responded respectfully, and quickly left.
Although He Liancheng was only a small step ahead of them, the aura around him was so overwhelming that they didn’t dare to harbour rebellious thoughts.
Several sects had infiltrated the Shura battlefield unnoticed. Once inside, many Core formation cultivators joined forces to seal off the battlefield, preventing the evil cultivators from escaping.
With the spiritual eye surveillance, Li Tianyan knew the Shura Sect very well, and several Core formation elders attacked together. With a few strikes, they broke through the Shura Sect’s protective formation.
As soon as the formation was broken, the Shura Sect was surrounded. The evil cultivators and the immortal cultivators faced off, both sides prepared, and a great battle was about to break out.
The foundation-establishment cultivators who entered the Shura battlefield this time were all elders from various sects, and none of the young disciples participated.
Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi stood out among them, but they both had special tasks this time. Cheng Qi didn’t stand with the foundation-establishment cultivators, but was instead protected by Li Tianyan behind him.
As soon as Fan Zhuo exited the sect master’s palace, he immediately noticed two young cultivators, and his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Li Tianyan.
