Chapter 2486: Chapter 2486: Expansive Heaven Domain
A few days later, after leaving behind some messaging jade tokens, Fang Bai left the Secret Realm with his Single-Horned Dragon Horse.
Two high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm puppet corpses, three mid-rank Immortal Emperor Realm ghost corpses, five low-rank Immortal Emperor Realm puppet corpses...
Within Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring were these puppet corpses, and they could form formations to confront enemies. With just these, Fang Bai could already stir up considerable trouble among the seven top forces, leaving them in chaos and unable to attend to anything else.
Thus, it was beneficial for both Fang Bai himself and the surviving disciples of the Emperor’s Palace in the Immortal Realm.
After emerging from the Secret Realm, Fang Bai directly entered an Immortal City tens of thousands of miles away.
This Immortal City was under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Taming Palace, which was founded by the Dragon Taming Emperor. Fang Bai planned to stir up a storm in this Immortal City, creating some trouble for the Dragon Taming Emperor.
The steward stationed in this Immortal City was a mid-rank Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator from the Dragon Taming Palace.
Although the mid-rank Immortal Emperor Realm was not considered powerful, with the strong backing of the Dragon Taming Palace, and most of the forces in this Immortal City relying on it, other forces dared not cause trouble here.
Other immortals dared not, but Fang Bai dared.
Fang Bai had a unique physique, capable of changing his appearance and aura at will. Moreover, he was once very familiar with the Eight Great Immortal Emperors and their high-ranking subordinates, having some understanding of their cultivation techniques and secret techniques, allowing him to easily impersonate experts from the eight top forces.
After entering this Immortal City, Fang Bai spent a few days investigating, familiarizing himself with the composition of immortals in the City Lord Mansion, making thorough preparations, and then one deep night, impersonated a high-rank elder under the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor and bloodwashed the City Lord Mansion, seizing its accumulated cultivation resources.
The news spread, causing an uproar in the Immortal Realm.
The Dragon Taming Emperor was furious, vowing blood for blood against the Myriad Sword Sect.
However, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Sword Sect, the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor, claimed innocence, stating that the said expert had been in secluded cultivation all along and could not have gone out to bloodwash the City Lord Mansion of an Immortal City under the Dragon Taming Emperor.
Only, at the time of the bloodwash of the City Lord Mansion of the Immortal City under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Taming Palace, some lucky-to-escape disciples of the Dragon Taming Palace witnessed the culprit was indeed a Myriad Sword Sect elder.
Therefore, despite how the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor pleaded and explained, the Dragon Taming Palace side refused to believe, firmly believing that the matter was indeed done by that Myriad Sword Sect elder.
Actually, ever since joining forces with various immortals of the Immortal Realm to annihilate the Golden Crow Palace, the relationships among the seven top forces not only did not consolidate but instead further tore apart, especially on the matter of dividing the benefits of the Golden Crow Palace, there have been frequent skirmishes due to uneven distribution. The most intense were those between the Myriad Sword Sect and the Dragon Taming Palace.
Thus, the incident of the Myriad Sword Sect elder bloodwashing the City Lord Mansion under the Dragon Taming Palace appeared not entirely impossible in the eyes of other immortals.
The two top forces of the Immortal Realm, because of this matter, completely tore their relationship apart, causing chaos, dragging in numerous Immortal Sects and gates dependent on them.
The other five top forces hoped for an all-out conflict between them to fish in troubled waters themselves, thus using their old tactics, secretly fanning the flames, provoking and inciting, to intensify the conflicts between the two top forces.
Due to the City Lord Mansion bloodwash incident, the seven top forces of the Immortal Realm became somewhat embroiled, ultimately breaking the relative peace of the Immortal Realm that had lasted for a millennium.
After bloodwashing the City Lord Mansion of the Immortal City under the Dragon Taming Palace and taking away all its cultivation resources, Fang Bai fled far away.
In the subsequent years, each Heavenly Domain of the Immortal Realm occasionally reported incidents of subordinate forces of the eight top Immortal Emperors being seized and bloodwashed, resulting in the fall of numerous Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, with massive amounts of cultivation resources being looted and severe losses incurred.
Fang Bai, the instigator, traveled around the Immortal Realm, today impersonating a high-level under the Qingtian Immortal Emperor to kill a few disciples under the Ice River Empress; tomorrow impersonating a high-level under the Thunder Immortal Emperor to kill a few disciples of the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor...
The seven top Immortal Emperors, not being fools, found the matter suspicious, and also sent disciples to investigate, but for a time couldn’t figure out who was truly behind the scenes manipulating it all. Furthermore, with their own disciples stirred up, hard to restrain, once encountering each other during training, provocations and conflicts would occur.
As a result, the relationships between the seven top forces became increasingly strained, involving countless immortals, numbering in the hundreds of millions.
Chaos in the Immortal Realm thus began to gradually arise.
......
The Expansive Heaven Domain is the sixth of the nine great domains of the Immortal Realm.
Skyflame Forest is a renowned cultivation holy land in the Expansive Heaven Domain, sprawling over a million miles, covering a vast area, where all flowers, grasses, and trees are of the fire attribute.
Legend says that in the Ancient Era, an extraterrestrial heavenly fire descended here, burning the entire million-mile forest to ashes, which after many years regrew into this fire-based forest.
All the flora of Skyflame Forest constantly release heat, making it seem like an endless sea of fire within, unbearable for immortals of weak strength.
Therefore, immortals who come to train here either primarily cultivate fire-based techniques and secret techniques, or have sufficiently strong cultivation levels.
In the vast Skyflame Forest, every day hosts immortals from all corners of the Immortal Realm training, harvesting immortal elixirs, and hunting immortal beasts.
"Let’s see where you can run, little leopard!"
On this day, deep within a thousand miles of Skyflame Forest, a crisp shout suddenly resounded, followed by a Fairy in a red dress leaping out from behind a giant red fruit tree. frёeωebɳovel.com
The Fairy in the red dress held an Immortal Sword, merging man and sword into one, drawing a scarlet glow to stab at a Fire Cloud Leopard engulfed in fire.
The Fairy in the red dress appeared to be in her twenties, with a graceful, alluring figure, seemingly unparalleled in beauty.
Her brows and eyes exuded endless charm, her beautiful eyes sparkled, naturally revealing an enchanting allure, making one’s heart skip a beat with every smile and frown.
"Beware, Baimei Junior Sister!"
Seeing the Fairy in red attacking the Fire Cloud Leopard, a male immortal in a red robe hastily pursued, shouting loudly to stop her.
That Fire Cloud Leopard matched the combat power of a fifth-rank Immortal King Realm expert, while the Fairy in the red dress was only at the fourth-rank Immortal King Realm.
Generally, compared to immortals and immortal beasts of the same realm, immortals stand no chance against immortal beasts, let alone the Fire Cloud Leopard being a minor realm stronger than the Fairy in the red dress?
The male immortal in red was known as the "Furious Arrow Immortal King," a disciple of the "Lihuo Sect," possessing an eighth-rank Immortal King Realm level.
This time, the Furious Arrow Immortal King and several of his fellow disciples came to Skyflame Forest for training, and as the senior disciple, he bore the responsibility of protecting his junior brothers and sisters. If any mishap befell them, he might face punishment from his master later.
The Furious Arrow Immortal King knew that "Baimei Fairy," was the dearest disciple to their master, the Lihuo Immortal Emperor, and if something untoward happened to her, he would be in big trouble. Therefore, seeing her overestimate herself trying to hunt the fifth-rank Immortal King Realm Fire Cloud Leopard, the Furious Arrow Immortal King was instantly anxious.
