Chapter 418: Chapter 176: Establishing the Demon Hunting Department, Demon Slayer, Great Demon Hunter Master Li Treading Immortal!!
Crash!
Several figures tumbled into the undergrowth, startling a flock of crows into flight.
Once Jixia regained his freedom, he immediately snapped his head up, gazing along the mountain foot all the way up.
Faintly...
A fissure could be seen cracking open at the peak of Nirvana Mountain, behind the Mountain and River Hall.
Meanwhile,
Zuo Shanhe employed some unknown method to shroud the entire mountain head, rendering the core area of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect inaccessible to outsiders.
Even though Jixia’s mind urged him to climb up further, there was a mysterious divine thought resisting him, keeping him from moving ahead.
He remembered Zuo Shanhe’s words.
And the scene that had just unfolded on the mountain...
Jixia’s eyes flickered:
"Hundreds of years ago, the magic era, Nirvana Sect Master, Wang Jianglong?"
"Tributor Ancestral Master..."
"Called ’True Monarch of Life and Death Nirvana’..."
"True Monarch of Life and Death Nirvana..."
He mumbled this name.
Foggy memories in his mind, along with memories from his first reincarnation as Song Chai Xin, surfaced one by one, waiting for those hazy, pivotal, and fragmented pieces to be forcefully explored!
Jixia, finally vaguely, recalled the meaning that name represented, and hence his face darkened:
"I remembered it..."
"Turns out it was this bastard!"
Bang!
He pressed his palm down, Dragon Tiger Divine Power burst out, concentrated at one point, directly shattering a boulder, causing the sect members who had fallen with him from the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect to be suddenly startled without understanding the situation.
However, when they looked up in an instant.
Seeing Jixia staring at the high mountain, with gritted teeth and a glint of murder in his eyes, they instantly understood, feeling a shared sorrow.
Just before.
The divine thought of Nirvana Sect Master Wang Jianglong descended from Grotto Heaven, boldly traversing the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect, proclaiming his background and history.
As for the dialogue inside the Mountain and River Hall with Zuo Shanhe...
It was the last thing to unfold.
Meaning, before that,
Thirty-six Mountain and River Disciples on Nirvana Mountain were already aware of this Ancestral Master’s arrival.
The reason they resisted Zuo Shanhe’s dispatch down the mountain was because they were influenced by this character known as ’Nirvana Ancestor Master’.
Except for six who had unwavering faith in Zuo Shanhe, although they couldn’t comprehend ’Primordial Spirit Nirvana Skill’, they followed the master’s teachings, never touching ’Life and Death Mountain and River Profound Skill’, hence not resisting.
And they were the least affected by obsession, with the slowest progress in cultivation.
The others...
All gathered outside the Mountain and River Hall, unaware of the outcome of this clash between ’Ancestral Master’ and ’Sect Leader’.
"Junior Brother, we..."
"Where should we go now?"
The six Mountain and River Sect members looked at each other.
First, Zuo Shanhe dissolved the sect, then recalled old members, leading up to today’s ’resurrection of the Ancestral Master’...
In just four or five months, Nirvana Mountain’s disaster could be described as one after another, with countless disciples perishing and suffering.
As for these six.
In terms of cultivation, they couldn’t match Canyuan or adept arts.
In terms of skills, they were only above average.
Until today, they were merely at the Great Innate Peak, not even close to Li Treading Immortal who was sixteen.
Surviving relied solely on luck.
All six clearly saw Li Treading Immortal’s ’Angry Palm’, assessing silently, their junior brother who had entered the sect for less than half a year...
Fearing that he had reached the level of ’Dragon Tiger Divine Power’.
Before their master sent them down the mountain, he had used divine soul transmission to instruct them to follow ’Junior Brother Ta Xian’, initially, someone might have harbored discontent.
But...
Upon witnessing Jixia’s strength.
All discontent likely vanished in an instant.
Dragon Tiger Divine Power!
Just months ago, it was the hallmark of top experts!
Those standing in the ’Celestial Human Domain’, none were less than legendary figures, such as the Six Pillars of Divine Blood, the three demon giant heads, masters and heads of the age’s powerful sects and clans...
These individuals were rarely revealed to the world, below them were Primordial Pill Martial Artists who had refined Dragon Tiger Divine Power, considered Grandmasters capable of founding sects!
Indeed, their master’s words were correct.
If there’s anyone capable of regrouping and leading these ’ordinary disciples’ in a counterattack to reclaim ’Nirvana Mountain’ and uncover what happened within...
Then, it’s likely none other than Junior Brother Li Treading Immortal!
"Where to go?"
Jixia heard the voices behind him, turned around.
"First, let’s leave here."
"Sect Leader said it’s unsuitable to stay long here, because the disturbance from the first ’Grotto Heaven’ might attract experts from all sides."
"Let’s first seek a small town."
"Once there, I ask you, senior brothers, to detail the events of the past three months to me."
With the remaining six fellow members, Jixia left Nirvana Mountain.
Shortly after they went...
From the direction of Wei River in the West Sea came an Old Dragon King with a jade crown and a golden patterned robe.
And from Celestial Prison Pass came a ’Flying General’ riding a Red Dragon Horse, clad in beast-faced swallowing head armor.
Alongside them was an elderly man with a white face and no beard, stepping on yin and yang, making heaven and earth like a chessboard.
One after another they arrived.
They saw the commotion of the mountain gate.
Attempted to step inside for a closer look.
But were rebuffed at the entrance.
Initially, they wanted to force their way in, collaborating to break through the barriers, but...
At the entrance of the Mountain and River Hall, they saw thirty kneeling Mountain and River Sect members, along with two overwhelmingly powerful divine thoughts clashing, faintly transcending the realm of ’divine soul’...
