Free Web NovelChapter 2568: Chapter 2568: Haoyue Immortal King
North of the location where Lianyue Fairy and other disciples of the Immortal Bow Hall were, a group of young disciples from the Wuying Sect were flying forward in a hurry.
This Wuying Sect group was similarly composed of five immortals, three men and two women, all with cultivation levels above the sixth grade Immortal King Realm.
"Junior Brother Haoyue, do not be distracted, stay vigilant!"
The disciple with the highest cultivation level among the five was Feiyan Fairy, who possessed the eighth grade Immortal King Realm cultivation. When she noticed that Junior Brother Haoyue kept glancing around, she frowned slightly and couldn’t help but scold him gently.
This disciple from Wuying Sect, known as Haoyue Immortal King, had a cultivation level of sixth grade Immortal King Realm. He was unimposing in appearance and weak in character, always timid and submissive, thus never liked by other disciples within the Sect.
Especially the female disciples of Wuying Sect, they tended to regard him with a distant respect.
Most male immortals within the Wuying Sect would form pairs with their senior sisters and junior sisters as immortal couples, while this Haoyue Immortal King remained alone.
He was allowed to participate in this Sword Gorge expedition because he was outstanding among the sixth grade Immortal King Realm disciples in the Sect.
Feiyan Fairy, whose cultivation level was several minor realms higher than Haoyue Immortal King and held the status of senior sister, found no issue among the other three fellow disciples when she reprimanded Haoyue Immortal King.
Haoyue Immortal King wasn’t offended by Feiyan Fairy’s scolding, instead, he chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows, saying: "Senior Sister, I’m glancing around to capture the Great Emperor Sword Intent within this Sword Gorge!"
Upon hearing this, the other three fellow disciples couldn’t help but burst out laughing with a "hee".
Feiyan Fairy’s expression turned cold, she sternly said: "To capture sword intent, you must focus, using your own aura and divine sense to perceive it. How could you possibly see it with your eyes?"
The other three Wuying Sect disciples agreed deeply, nodding one after another.
Haoyue Immortal King shook his head, saying: "No, no! I believe... as long as you are intentional, the eyes can also see the sword intent!"
"You..."
Feiyan Fairy did not expect him to contradict her, feeling both extremely angry and strange. She thought that this Junior Brother Haoyue usually wouldn’t dare breathe loudly in front of her; today, not only did he refute her but also showed a relaxed demeanor, which was very different from his usual character.
Feiyan Fairy felt her senior sister authority was challenged, initially wanting to unleash her anger and reprimand Haoyue Immortal King, but was surprised to see Haoyue Immortal King suddenly rush to the forefront.
"Damn it! I’ll deal with you later!"
Seeing Haoyue Immortal King taking the lead, clearly disregarding her as his senior sister, Feiyan Fairy gritted her teeth, watching his retreating figure with an icy expression.
"Haha... A lower-level Immortal Emperor grade Swiftwind Flower! Not bad, not bad!"
When Feiyan Fairy and the other four Wuying Sect disciples caught up with Haoyue Immortal King, they saw him holding a purple immortal elixir, which turned out to be a Swiftwind Flower used to refine Wind Immortal Pills, and couldn’t help but feel envious.
The lower-level Immortal Emperor grade Swiftwind Flower, when supplemented with several other immortal elixirs, could be refined into Wind Immortal Pills of the same grade, which was incredibly precious to Wuying Sect disciples cultivating Wind System Immortal Technique.
Especially for immortals like Feiyan Fairy with cultivation levels of the Immortal King Realm, obtaining a few lower-level Immortal Emperor grade Wind Immortal Pills would undoubtedly have significant benefits for future cultivation.
"If I had gone first, this Swiftwind Flower would have belonged to me! Haoyue, that guy, really hit a stroke of luck!"
Feiyan Fairy and the other four Wuying Sect disciples thought to themselves.
Among the five immortals, Haoyue Immortal King was the weakest, yet he was the one to obtain the first fortune upon entering Sword Gorge, making Feiyan Fairy and the other four Wuying Sect disciples both envious and jealous.
Haoyue Immortal King seemed to be deliberately flaunting it, holding the Swiftwind Flower in his hand for self-admiration for a while until the eyes of Feiyan Fairy and the other four immortals turned red, then he tossed it into his Space Immortal Ring.
"Perhaps there’s more good stuff ahead, fellow disciples, don’t fall behind!"
Haoyue Immortal King said, grinning at Feiyan Fairy and the other four immortals as he turned to continue rushing forward.
"Junior Brother Haoyue seems different than before..."
"Hmm, previously timid and weak, now noticeably more assertive!"
"Having obtained a Swiftwind Flower, look at how proud he is!"
"Hmph! Daring to contradict Senior Sister Feiyan, he needs to be taught a lesson!"
"Let him lead the way, and should he encounter formidable Immortal Birds or Immortal Beasts, he will suffer greatly!"
...
The four Wuying Sect disciples said so as they rushed forward, overtaking Haoyue Immortal King.
"Indeed, what if we encounter formidable Immortal Birds or Immortal Beasts?"
Being surpassed by his four fellow disciples, Haoyue Immortal King slowed down, watching the four figures racing forward with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.
Then, he spread his Divine Sense, focusing on Lianyue Fairy who was hundreds of miles away but within the same Sword Gorge, thinking to himself: "Once upon a time, she was just a little girl from the mundane Shigong Village, yet now she’s grown into a fifth grade Immortal King Realm expert... Xiao Lian, impressive!"
A moment later, a hundred miles ahead, suddenly immortal qi fluctuated heavily, creating oppressive pressure, showing signs of a great battle occurring.
Simultaneously, there was an urgent signal for aid sent by the Wuying Sect disciples.
The ones sending the call for help were Feiyan Fairy and the other four immortals.
After surpassing Haoyue Immortal King, they had hoped to find fortune like him, yet instead, they encountered attacks by powerful Immortal Beasts, instantly plunging into an extremely perilous situation, forcing them to send a desperate call for assistance.
Haoyue Immortal King seemed to have anticipated this but continued to move slowly, not intending to offer help at all.
"A thousand years ago the Emperor’s Palace was extinguished, your Wuying Sect was once a loyal follower among the eight top forces, with hands filled with the blood of Emperor’s Palace disciples... Hah, the thirty young disciples from Wuying Sect in this Sword Gorge are your Sect’s future pillars, aren’t they? Then, let them stay here forever..."
Listening to the sounds of screams coming from ahead, the corner of Haoyue Immortal King’s mouth held a mocking cold smile.
Dozens of breaths later, Haoyue Immortal King found that several Wuying Sect disciples had gathered in front of him, having rushed from all directions upon receiving their fellow disciples’ call for help.
Within a range of a thousand feet where the dozen Wuying Sect disciples stood, vegetation was all flattened, stones were everywhere, and the scene was a complete mess.
At the scene, the bodies of the three Wuying Sect disciples who had been accompanying Feiyan Fairy were incomplete, blood spattered all over the ground, and they had clearly lost any signs of life.
Feiyan Fairy herself had also lost an arm, with several bleeding wounds on her body, her aura weak and chaotic, severely injured as well.
"Oh dear, Senior Sister Feiyan, what happened here?"
Haoyue Immortal King stepped forward, pretending to ask with concern.
Inwardly, though, he felt regret that Feiyan Fairy had not fallen.
"We were attacked by three Immortal Beasts! The battle power of those three Immortal Beasts was equivalent to the eighth grade Immortal King Realm..."
Feiyan Fairy said with lingering fear.
She was severely injured and mentally unstable, having completely forgotten the earlier matter of Haoyue Immortal King contradicting her.
