Chapter 2581: Chapter 2581: The Onslaught
The divine sense of Shadowless Immortal Emperor extended outward for thousands of miles, and he saw countless Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts darkening the sky and ground, flying toward the Wuying Sect.
These Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts had bloodshot eyes, filled with Killing Qi, clearly coming with ill intentions. Among them, there were hundreds of Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, matching the number of such experts in the Wuying Sect.
With such a force, once they broke into the Wuying Sect, one could only imagine the terrifying consequences.
The face of Shadowless Immortal Emperor changed immediately.
His figure flickered and he appeared instantly in front of the mountain gate of the Wuying Sect, issuing a warning to all disciples with a whistle.
Tens of thousands of Wuying Sect disciples gathered in front of the mountain gate within dozens of breaths.
"Why is Elder Wuyin suddenly alarming us? What happened?"
A steward came to Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s side, noticing his furrowed brows and the look of facing a formidable enemy, and asked.
This steward’s cultivation level was not as high as Shadowless Immortal Emperor and his divine sense could not detect the incoming Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts, unaware of the rapidly approaching danger.
"A large number of Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts are attacking, Wuying Sect disciples, prepare for battle!"
Shadowless Immortal Emperor shouted sharply.
Although those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts were thousands of miles away, with their speed, it would only take a few hours for them to reach the Wuying Sect. If defensive preparations were not made immediately, the consequences would be unimaginable if they attacked and were met with haste.
Hearing the order from their sect elder, tens of thousands of Wuying Sect disciples dared not slack off. As per usual drills, one-third of the disciples, led by Shadowless Immortal Emperor, advanced a thousand miles, setting up defensive formations to combat the first wave of attackers.
Another third of the disciples stayed near the mountain gate, prepared to fend off the second wave of attackers.
The final third of the disciples were tasked with protecting the Sect Master Hall of the Wuying Sect.
The Wuying Sect disciples forming the first line of defense would inevitably face the fiercest onslaught when strong enemies arrived, often with the greatest losses.
Therefore, nearly twenty thousand disciples led by Shadowless Immortal Emperor set up a defensive formation in the sky a thousand miles from the Wuying Sect, each holding an Immortal Artifact, mentally tense and on high alert.
Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s divine sense closely watched the thousands of approaching Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts, holding a Messaging Jade Token left by the Sect Master Shadowless Immortal Emperor in his left hand.
If he detected anything amiss, he would immediately crush this Messaging Jade Token to request aid from the Sect Master.
With so many powerful Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts attacking, if they couldn’t withstand it, the Wuying Sect could suffer devastating damage. Right now, nothing was more important than this.
As for revenge against the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain, that could wait.
Shadowless Immortal Emperor believed that no matter how strong those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts were, as long as they activated the Sect Protection Array, they could defend for a long time. As long as the Sect Master returned with the elite disciples of the Wuying Sect in time, they could repel those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts and turn the tide.
"Those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts wouldn’t attack the Wuying Sect without reason... Seeing their madness, could there be an Immortal controlling them?"
Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s divine sense carefully searched among the thousands of Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts, hoping to find the answer he sought.
Finally, when the overwhelming Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts were about a thousand miles from the Wuying Sect’s mountain gate, Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s divine sense spotted an Immortal on the back of a Wind Roc.
"That is..."
Upon seeing the Immortal’s appearance clearly, Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he involuntarily took a cold breath.
At this moment, the stewards of the Wuying Sect also detected the frenzied incoming Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts with their divine sense, along with the Immortal sitting on the back of the Wind Roc, each one revealing a look of astonishment.
"It’s Haoyue... Didn’t he return to his Immortal Residence?"
"How is he with those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts?"
"Are those Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts actually controlled by him?"
"He’s never demonstrated the Beast Taming Art, how is it possible..."
"What’s going on here!"
...
The stewards looked at each other, puzzled and bewildered.
Subsequently, nearly twenty thousand Wuying Sect disciples in defensive formations also discovered Haoyue Immortal King, causing a commotion.
"Wuying Sect disciples, heed this: if Haoyue commits acts harming the Sect’s interests, anyone can take action to kill him!"
After a moment of astonishment, Shadowless Immortal Emperor quickly made a decision.
He could see that the attacking Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts were following the lead of the Wind Roc under Haoyue Immortal King.
And that Wind Roc seemed to be controlled by Haoyue Immortal King.
Therefore, he was certain that this large-scale attack by the Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts, even if not orchestrated by Haoyue Immortal King, was closely related to him, and they must not be complacent because he was a disciple of the Wuying Sect.
The Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts advanced at incredible speed, and within a thousand breaths, long black lines of shadows in the sky and on the ground appeared in the sight of the Wuying Sect’s immortals.
Previously, the Wuying Sect’s disciples had been probing with their divine sense, but now they could directly see with their eyes the tumultuous waves stirred by the flying Immortal Birds and the rumbling sounds made by the galloping Immortal Beasts, all of which were tremendously intimidating to them.
"You react fast enough! But... it’s useless..."
Sitting atop the Wind Roc, still disguised as the appearance of Haoyue Immortal King, Fang Bai could see the defensive formations of the Wuying Sect’s immortals ready for battle. He sneered with disdain, his eyes flashing coldly, and urged the Wind Roc beneath him to charge straight toward Shadowless Immortal Emperor who stood in mid-air.
The Wind Roc let out a rapid cry, and the Immortal Birds following it, along with the unyielding Immortal Beasts on the ground, increased their speed, launching a thundering assault on the defensive formation set up by the Wuying Sect disciples.
"Haoyue, have you gone mad?"
Shadowless Immortal Emperor issued a thunderous shout, his voice echoing through the void, rushing toward Fang Bai.
He thought Haoyue Immortal King’s cultivation level was merely at the sixth-grade Immortal King Realm, unable to withstand such a shout. If he were stunned, the crisis of the Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts attack would resolve itself.
However, while the sound wave was still dozens of feet from Fang Bai, it was dissipated by a single word "Scram" shouted by Fang Bai, leaving it ineffectual.
"How is it possible..."
Shadowless Immortal Emperor stared at Fang Bai with wide eyes, utterly incredulous.
"You are not Haoyue, Haoyue would never possess such powerful strength!"
Shadowless Immortal Emperor’s eyes shone with brilliance as he pointed at Fang Bai, shouting sternly, "Who are you really?"
Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Who else would I be if not Haoyue Immortal King? Oh right, actually, I’ve already joined the Blood Fiend Sect and am now a Blood Fiend Sect disciple! I came this time just to wipe out your Wuying Sect!"
The Wuying Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, and Fang Bai knew that even if he could destroy the sect in this battle, many Wuying Sect disciples would escape. If he revealed his "true form," it would be disadvantageous for him to roam in the Immortal Realm in the future, so he continued to masquerade as Haoyue Immortal King and spout nonsense.
This way, even if some Wuying Sect disciples escaped, they would attribute their sect’s destruction to Haoyue Immortal King and the Blood Fiend Sect, and it would have nothing to do with him.
