Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 623 - 615 Taking Action

"Red Cloud Sect still has remnants hiding in Baihe City?"

Ye Yunguang was slightly startled upon hearing this, and then he hurriedly said, "Everyone, the remnants of the Red Cloud Sect have already been purged, and now Baihe City is under the control of Creation Gate..."

"Can’t you see it? They simply want to seal off Baihe City and seize the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven. Activate the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal quickly!"

Before Ye Yunguang could finish speaking, Yu Xu had already transmitted a stern shout.

This reminder made Ye Yunguang shiver, and he quickly took out the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal interwoven with Daoist rhyme.

However, almost at the instant he took out the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, a streak of light suddenly broke through the sky and arrived, its speed so fast that it was the ultimate.

The Immortal Yun Zhen beside him sensed this sudden light attack for the first time, but his figure moved slightly and he finally suppressed the urge to act, his expression icy.

"Not good!"

The remaining elders of Creation Gate quickly perceived the whistling light and attempted to intercept it.

At this moment, Long Congyun let out a fierce howl, "As expected, there are still thieves! Sword Qi Flowing Light!"

The power of Peak True Immortals explosively burst out from his hands. Dozens of Sword Qi blasts powerful enough to be fatal to Void Immortals engulfed the stream of light like a violent storm, and, likewise...

...forced all of the Creation Gate’s Void Immortals who tried to cut off the light to retreat explosively, as they could no longer continue.

"Long Congyun!"

Ye Yunguang let out an angry roar and immediately activated the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal.

But before the Daoist rhyme from the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal could scatter, the light struck, and the crystal was directly shattered.

At the same time, the figure that unleashed the light fled towards the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven with extreme speed, seemingly desperate to use the power of the Grotto Heaven to fight to the death.

"Stop him! Don’t let him regain control of the Grotto Heaven! Everyone else, seal off Baihe City, and don’t let him escape!"

With an order from Zi Ruyan, the Void Immortals of the Heavenly Fire Sect quickly charged towards the Grotto Heaven.

From the look of it, were they really out to pursue that Void Immortal?

Clearly, they intended to take advantage of the chaos and forcibly take control of the Grotto Heaven.

"You..."

Seeing the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal in his hands shattered, Ye Yunguang was both shocked and furious.

Unless he was blind, he could guess that the Void Immortal who destroyed the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal in his hand and was fleeing towards the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven was disguised by a master of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

This point could be easily inferred from the fact that when the experts of the Heavenly Fire Sect, as well as those from Dragon Sword Sect and Wind and Rain Tower, pursued him, they did not spend too much time and effort to do it.

But just my luck...

Ye Yunguang had no options left.

At this time, Yu Xu abruptly appeared beside him, giving him a forceful push, "Quick, break out of Baihe City! Go outside Baihe City and send a message to the Supreme Elder!"

Ye Yunguang, pushed away, quickly recovered and immediately erupted with his movement technique.

But at this moment, the remaining Void Immortals quickly raised a barrier through an urgently arranged Formation.

Among them, three Void Immortals rapidly moved to intercept Ye Yunguang, "No one is allowed to leave Baihe City until the remnants of the Red Cloud Sect are found!"

Ye Yunguang was eager to break out, but he couldn’t break through the interception of the three Void Immortals at all.

"What a waste!"

Watching this series of events unfold, Gu Jinlai was immediately rendered speechless.

He had thought that Ye Yunguang’s stern rebuttal to Immortal Yun Zhen might indicate he had some trump card, but now...

This is it?

It was also fortunate that Immortal Yun Zhen and his Yunxiao Sect peers considered their shared roots and were not willing to completely break ties with them, thus allowing him to argue absurdly.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Fire Sect could launch a surprise attack and shatter the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, Immortal Yun Zhen could have done the same.

In essence, there was trouble within their ranks.

"At this rate, the Grotto Heaven, I’m afraid, is really going to fall into the hands of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect, and other powers..."

Gu Jinlai’s gaze followed those rushing towards the Grotto Heaven.

The next moment, he turned his attention to Immortal Yun Zhen and transmitted a message, "Does our previous agreement still hold?"

"Hm? What do you mean, Daoist?"

Immortal Yun Zhen was somewhat surprised.

"I have already seized control of this Grotto Heaven. I can mobilize the power of the Grotto Heaven to augment your battle power, allowing you to repel Zi Ruyan of the Heavenly Fire Sect and Long Congyun of the Dragon Sword Sect."

Gu Jinlai stated directly.

Immortal Yun Zhen was somewhat incredulous, "You, mobilize the power of the Grotto Heaven? A Mahayana Realm?"

The minimum standard to mobilize the power of the Grotto Heaven and Spiritual Mechanism Power was a Void Immortal.

"The Mahayana Realm is just a part of my Cultivation. By chance, I also cultivated the Innate Sacred Path as my Daoist Guardian Skill in the past. This is the very reason why my elder brother supported me wholeheartedly and appointed me as the Daoist."

Gu Jinlai spoke and then quickly added, "Even if Immortal Fei Hong and the exalted experts of Baihe City were annihilated by that mysterious Immortal Master, you surely don’t believe a mere Mahayana Realm could have suppressed the chaos within Baihe City at that time, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Yun Zhen suddenly had an epiphany.

When he had first heard that Creation Gate controlled Baihe City, he also felt it was utterly unreasonable. However, due to the close relationship between Creation Gate and Yunxiao Sect, despite the many doubts in their hearts, they had to believe Gu Jinlai’s explanation and attribute it to luck.

Now it seems...

Where was all that good fortune from?

"A hundred Dao Artifacts! Or a hundred thousand units of top-tier materials! We, the Yunxiao Sect, shall not second-guess this!"

Immortal Yun Zhen immediately declared.

"There’s no need for Dao Artifacts or top-tier materials, I’m instead interested in some other resources. However, let’s wait until you borrow the power of the Grotto Heaven to crush the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon Sword Sect, and the Wind and Rain Tower,"

Gu Jinlai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the state of the Child of the Stars.

By entering into this state, he immediately resonated with the Grotto Heaven of the Red Cloud Sect, and during this resonance, the remnants of the Spiritual Mechanism Power inside the Grotto Heaven were fully drawn out, pouring into Immortal Yun Zhen.

Almost simultaneously, Immortal Yun Zhen gave a loud shout: "Enough!"

His figure soared into the air, his aura climbing continuously under the infusion of the Cave Heaven Power: "Have you all forgotten the agreement we made before besieging Baihe City? The benefits of the Red Cloud Sect shall belong to whoever occupies them! Now, the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven has been refined by our Yunxiao Sect, and Baihe City is under our control. Do you all intend to break the agreement and seize by force?"

"This is..."

The anomaly in the Grotto Heaven immediately caused the expressions of Zi Ruyan, Long Congyun, and others to change.

Watching Immortal Yun Zhen, whose aura was rising step by step with the power of the Grotto Heaven, everyone’s faces showed disbelief.

"How is this possible!?"

"The Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven is so severely damaged; how can it be activated again so quickly?"

"The Yunxiao Sect has taken control of this Grotto Heaven so quickly!?"

Not only the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Dragon Sword Sect, and the Wind and Rain Tower powers but also the people from the Creation Gate were in disbelief.

Especially Ye Yunguang, whose eyes were wide in shock and fury.

He seemed to see Immortal Yun Zhen as a thief, believing that they had stolen the Grotto Heaven that originally belonged to the Creation Gate.

"Boom!"

The energy within the Grotto Heaven poured continuously into Immortal Yun Zhen, rapidly elevating his aura to the level of a Peak True Immortal.

But at this moment, the damaged Grotto Heaven obviously could not sustain much longer.

After all, with severe damage to the Grotto Heaven, even though Gu Jinlai had deliberately repaired it somewhat, it still wasn’t enough to support the Grotto Heaven being overstrained.

And a Peak True Immortal...

Might not necessarily be able to suppress the likes of Zi Ruyan and Long Congyun, who also possessed Peak True Immortal Battle Power.

"The competition for resources in this world is too crazy."

Gu Jinlai genuinely lamented.

Then, while everyone’s attention was drawn to Immortal Yun Zhen, he quietly inserted a Spirit Crystal into the Grotto Heaven.

A Spirit Crystal, which is the refined essence of the Spiritual Mechanism, could activate the Heavenly Dao once.

Although the activation didn’t last long, it was enough to prove the divinity of the Spirit Crystal.

As the Grotto Heaven absorbed the power of the Spirit Crystal, Immortal Yun Zhen, who was already enhanced to the level of a Peak True Immortal, became even stronger, reaching the power of the Strongest True Immortals, even approaching that of Supreme True Immortals.

His imposing aura surged mightily in all directions, even causing fear in the hearts of Zi Ruyan and Long Congyun.

"What now, do the peers from the Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect, and Wind and Rain Tower refuse to leave? Must there be a huge uproar, an exchange of life and death before you are willing to relent?"

Immortal Yun Zhen glared fiercely at Zi Ruyan and Long Congyun, the leading True Immortals, and declared, "Enough people have died today; I have no desire for further bloodshed. Don’t force me to act!"

Both felt the aura of Immortal Yun Zhen...

The power of the Strongest True Immortals!

Approaching the level of Supreme True Immortals!

With such strength, they absolutely couldn’t regain control over the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven in a short period, and their blockade of Baihe City would not last long.

If they kept it up, high-ranking experts from the Creation Gate and the Yunxiao Sect would surely arrive in droves, and unless they were willing to stir up a war affecting all the powers within the Flame River Dao, this matter would inevitably remain unresolved.

And if it turned into a war that swept across the Flame River Dao, it would undoubtedly draw the intervention of the Mo Family from the Northern Region, at which point the situation would be beyond their control.

With this in mind, some of the forces that had come with Zi Ruyan and Long Congyun had already silently retreated, beating a strategic retreat.

Even Zi Ruyan...

Though somewhat reluctant, could only sigh inwardly and speak, "Since the Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven and Baihe City are already under the control of the Yunxiao Sect, following our previous agreement, we naturally won’t interfere any further."

After saying this, she bowed her hands, "Hereby, I congratulate the Yunxiao Sect for acquiring another Grotto Heaven."

"Thank you, Sect Master Zi."

Immortal Yun Zhen’s gaze turned back to Long Congyun.

Long Congyun looked at the damaged Grotto Heaven of the Red Cloud Sect for a moment, contemplating whether he could last until the Spiritual Mechanism Power within the Grotto Heaven was depleted under Immortal Yun Zhen.

But feeling the strength of Immortal Yun Zhen, almost that of a Supreme True Immortal, and also considering the Heavenly Fire Sect wasn’t easy to deal with, he ultimately dared not commit to a fight.

He bowed his hands, "Congratulations, Immortal Yun Zhen. I take my leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and departed.

As he left, the other forces that didn’t even possess True Immortals naturally didn’t dare linger in front of a powerful True Immortal who was clearly determined to drive them out.

Those on good terms said a few kind words.

Those with a bad relationship simply turned and left.

Before long, these forces withdrew one by one, lifting even the simple blockade on Baihe City cleanly.
