Chapter 2585: Chapter 2585: Four Things to Tell You
Since its founding, the Wuying Sect has stood for over several hundred thousand years, mostly maintaining its status as the most powerful sect in the Western Desolate throughout this time.
In the face of the formidable strength of the Wuying Sect, nearly all sects in the Western Desolate bow their heads, following its lead.
Over the years, some sects have attempted to challenge Wuying Sect’s hegemony and replace it, but all have ended in failure.
The vast majority of sects in the Western Desolate believe that, in the foreseeable future, Wuying Sect will continue to hold its dominant position, with no sect capable of posing a threat.
Moreover, the tens of thousands of disciples of the Wuying Sect also believe so.
Thus, the disciples of Wuying Sect, from top to bottom, are proud and self-assured.
This time, during the Sword Gorge training, everyone in Wuying Sect was fully confident in the thirty young disciples of the sect, believing they would return with glory as always.
However, they never expected that not long after, the soul lamps of the two elders and twenty-nine young disciples placed in the Soul Hall, except for Haoyue Immortal King, would all extinguish.
Soon after, Haoyue Immortal King’s return confirmed the news that the disciples from Wuying Sect participating in the Sword Gorge training had perished.
For a time, among the tens of thousands of disciples in Wuying Sect, there were those in shock, those in grief, and those in disbelief...
This was the most catastrophic loss since the founding of the Wuying Sect, and all its disciples were incensed, considering it a provocation by the Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain against their sect, and immediately went for revenge.
But on their way to attack the Blood Fiend Sect, they received an urgent request for aid from the sect and had to turn back midway.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor thought that even if Wuying Sect were attacked by powerful enemies, in the worst-case scenario, the disciples could hide within the Sect Protection Array until they returned to assist.
However, as they flew over the Wuying Sect, what they saw before them was such a scene of devastation.
"How could it be like this..."
Numerous disciples of Wuying Sect stood in the void, looking down below, thinking they were seeing an illusion.
Yet the remaining breath of immortals and immortal beasts in the air, the pervasive scent of blood at the tip of the nose, the many corpses that had fallen to the ground, and the numerous broken and incomplete Immortal Halls, all existed so tangibly, showing that an intense battle had occurred here not long ago.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor spread his Divine Sense across thousands of miles, but could not detect a single living Wuying Sect disciple, causing his heart to quickly sink.
Could the disciples of Wuying Sect, numbering tens of thousands, including an elder and several stewards, have all perished along with the destruction of the sect?
If that is indeed the case, Wuying Sect might not recover its Essence Energy in the foreseeable future.
Even more terrifying, once the Immortal Sects in the Western Desolate that hold a grudge against Wuying Sect learn of its severe damage, they will not give Wuying Sect any chance to catch their breath, and will definitely turn into hungry wolves pouncing over, tearing them apart and devouring them.
"With the sect undergoing such a drastic change, what do we do in the future?"
The over ten thousand disciples who just returned to the Sect Master of Wuying Sect looked at their Sect Master in horror and bewilderment.
At this time, the face of the Shadowless Immortal Emperor was twisted, his eyes filled with blood, the aura around him raging, clearly in a state of fury.
The sect being destroyed and all disciples gone, as the Sect Master of the Wuying Sect, how could he suppress the fury in his chest, no matter how good his self-control?
"Who on earth is it?"
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth to the sound of grinding, his voice seemingly coming from hell, "Who exactly is targeting our Wuying Sect? Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain... simply can’t do this..."
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor had dealt with Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain numerous times and knew that even if the two sects joined hands, they couldn’t bring such destruction to Wuying Sect.
Furthermore, the Sect Protection Array of Wuying Sect has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and those with strength weaker than the Immortal Emperor Realm Peak and not proficient in the Array Path would not be able to break through the Sect Protection Array.
If the Shadowless Immortal Emperor knew that those higher-ups who stayed in the sect didn’t even have the chance to activate the Sect Protection Array before they perished, who knows what he would think.
"So, the words of Haoyue Immortal King... are not credible?"
A steward returning with the Shadowless Immortal Emperor said in a low voice, his expression extraordinarily solemn.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor said, "It’s still too early to say... We cannot rule out Blood Fiend Sect and Yama Mountain having accomplices..."
At this moment, a cloud of Auspicious Clouds flew leisurely from the western horizon.
Seeing the immortal on that Auspicious Cloud, the pupils of the Shadowless Immortal Emperor slightly contracted, showing a hint of surprise in his expression.
The other high-level members of Wuying Sect were also looking at each other, with an indescribably strange look on their faces.
"It’s Haoyue Immortal King! He’s actually not dead?"
Seeing the Auspicious Cloud, some Wuying Sect disciples exclaimed excitedly.
But most of the Wuying Sect disciples frowned in silence, looking at Fang Bai with no joy of surviving fellow sect members, but instead with vigilance and suspicion.
It’s no wonder, Wuying Sect has faced two major disasters one after another, and yet the not particularly outstanding Haoyue Immortal King is the only survivor in both, which is too coincidental, making the Wuying Sect disciples have to suspect.
Haoyue Immortal King stopped a thousand feet away in the distance of over ten thousand Wuying Sect disciples, his gaze meeting that of the Shadowless Immortal Emperor across the void.
In his eyes, at this moment, there was only disdain and murderous intent, with no trace of the deference and awe that a disciple shows when encountering the Sect Master.
"Haoyue, why do you still not come forward to pay respects after seeing the Sect Master?"
A steward next to the Shadowless Immortal Emperor reprimanded Haoyue Immortal King’s attitude urgently.
"Old Wuying... I’m going to tell you four things, don’t get angry after listening!"
Ignoring the steward’s reprimand, Fang Bai, impersonating Haoyue Immortal King, grinned at the Shadowless Immortal Emperor with a grim face, showing a row of white teeth.
Referring to the Shadowless Immortal Emperor as "Old Wuying" immediately drew the furious glares and harsh reprimands of the many disciples of Wuying Sect.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor vaguely guessed some things, clenched his fists, and murderous intent surged in his chest.
Fang Bai said, "The first thing: I am not Haoyue Immortal King... I believe you have already guessed this..."
"The real Haoyue Immortal King? He should not be dead yet, right?"
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor asked expressionlessly.
The Shadowless Immortal Emperor never suspected Fang Bai’s identity for two reasons: first, Fang Bai’s secret technique for concealing his aura is extremely brilliant; second, until he left the sect for the Blood Fiend Sect, the soul lamp placed for Haoyue Immortal King never extinguished.
Fang Bai said, "Fortunately, Haoyue Immortal King holds no grudges against me, so I spared his life. However, I sealed his Qi Sea, so henceforth he can only be an ordinary immortal."
When Fang Bai subdued Haoyue Immortal King, he used the Soul Capture Technique on him, knowing that Haoyue had never stained his hands with the blood of the Emperor’s Palace disciples, he spared him; otherwise, no matter how many lives he had, it wouldn’t be enough for Fang Bai to kill.
