The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1096 - 583: A Cut Above (Part 2)
"I never thought I would stare at it again... the Immortal Eternal Life Skill..." He closed his eyes for a moment, then sighed. That sound seemed to change his surroundings. Time suddenly felt different, as if the entire area was separated from the rest of the world.
The countless plants in the area suddenly stopped, as if in death, then turned to ash.
Chen Heng's body withered in an instant, and within the span of a few breaths, turned to nothing but a skeleton. Even that would crumble into the muddy ground.
Only Yan Xiaobao was unaffected. In fact, a massive amount of life force surged into his body, quickly healing his various injuries.
The old man stood there with his eyes closed, unmoving like a statue. It almost seemed... as if he had no aura, no life force. It was as if he didn't exist in the world, a fallen soul refusing rebirth.
Meanwhile, at the same moment that Chen Heng passed away, Clan Leader Luochen returned to the Luochen Clan in the Flandre Mountain. Suddenly, his eyes shot open, filled with a feeling of unease. He looked around at the clan members surrounding him and could see that a significant number of the eleven cultivators sent from the clan had been killed. However, when he saw that Chen Heng's soul still existed, he felt somewhat reassured.
"They only have three Outer Sect Disciples, how could they last so long...?" he murmured. "So many clan members are dead. Considering the level of the Heng'er Planting Base, they couldn't have killed him. Most likely, he has drained them and is on his way back." Nevertheless, he still felt a sense of unease in his heart. His eyes flickered, and he sent several clan members to investigate, all at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation Dao.
After doing so, he took a deep breath.
"Now it doesn't matter. Inverse Blood Grand Magic only takes one day's work!" Clenching his teeth, he suppressed his unease. He knew there was no backing out from the plan now, with no choice but to persist for another day... then it would all be worth it!
At the same time, Hou Yunfei was in a valley, more than 1.5 kilometers away from the boundary of the security spell of Clan Leader Luochen. His face was pale, and he was at the point where he couldn't take another step forward. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and laughed painfully.
"Little Brother Bai... I'm sorry, I couldn't save you..." He clenched his hands in pain and helplessness before losing consciousness.
In another direction was Du Lingfei, her hair disheveled, her skin sallow. Her Qi Path almost completely destroyed, she painted a picture entirely different from her past beauty.
Her eyes were relentless, and she looked almost zombie-like. Yet, a shocking willpower pushed her to stagger forward, clutching a piece of jade in her hand. She had only one thought in her mind, a thought that wouldn't leave.
She had to break free and send a message to the sect. She had to... save Yan Xiaobao.
Step by step, she walked on. When she fell to the ground, she would crawl back to her feet. Her clothes were torn, her veins bled dry, she could barely see. Yet... she continued to move forward. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Time flew by. Du Lingfei had long forgotten about the state of her injuries. She didn't think about her life, nor did she remember how long she had been walking. She kept moving forward until she suddenly felt as if she were passing through a wall of water. In that instant, her eyes began to shine brightly.
"Have I made it out?" she whispered with cracked lips. She trembled, looking at the jade sliding plate tightly held in her hand, the tremors of which had not been so strong in the past half a month. But now, it vibrated as if an unseen connection had suddenly been established... linking her to the sect.
"The Luochen Clan has become traitors. Brother Feng died in battle. I'm not sure if Brother Hou is still alive, and Young Bai Tu... led the enemy away so we could escape. I am a disciple of Du Lingfei, requesting the sect... to send reinforcements immediately." Once she finished sending the message, Du Lingfei sat down. Then she turned to look behind her, tears streaming down her face.
She would never forget how Yan Xiaobao rushed back into the fight as if his veins were made of steel. She would never forget the tragic and touching image of him rushing forward to draw the Luochen Clan's attention. She would never forget everything that happened during the journey together.
"Little Brother Bai, Brother Hou... you must live..." Du Lingfei cried, her tears falling onto her face. Finally, she couldn't endure any longer and fell into unconsciousness.
As Du Lingfei sent her message, the mission office returned to the Fragrant Cloud Peak of the Spiritual Flow Sect. Outer Sect Disciples came and went, handling various assignments. Inside the mission office, a middle-aged man in Daoist robes was maintaining the records of various tasks. In front of him was a collection of thousands of jade tablets, containing information about all the open missions for the sect disciples.
Suddenly, one of the jade tablets shimmered with light. With the same expression as always, the middle-aged man waved his hand, causing the jade to slide into his hand. After scanning it with his divine sense, his eyes widened, and he stood up.
"The Luochen Clan has become traitors!" he exclaimed breathlessly. The gravity of such a situation couldn't be underestimated. Whether true or false, he absolutely had to report it to his superiors. Blocking such information was a crime punishable by execution, so he didn't dare delay. He immediately conjured a violet jade from his robe and transmitted the new intelligence.
The report was quickly sent to the Judicial Hall. Naturally, Qian Dajin worked there, but his position was low, and he wasn't even eligible to see such intelligence reports. Almost as soon as the report arrived at the Judicial Hall, the entire organization sprang into action. After all, the Judicial Hall's duty was to defend the entire Spiritual Flow Sect, and their efficiency was astounding.
It took the time of one incense stick to verify the report's authenticity.
Then, war drums began to sound throughout the South Shore. All the disciples looked around in shock. The Outer Sect disciples didn't know the significance of the war drums, but the inner disciples from the three peaks knew, and when they lifted their heads from whatever they were doing, their expressions flickered.
"What's happening?"
"When the war drums beat, we can't return to the Spiritual Sect until blood has been shed and the enemy clan obliterated! Heaven...."
Even as everyone was in shock, an elder's voice suddenly filled the entire South Shore of the Spiritual Sect.
"I am Ouyang Jie of the Hall of Justice. All inner disciples of the three peaks on the South Shore are to cancel all previous tasks, activities, and secluded meditation courses immediately. You have twenty breaths to gather at the main gate! No tardiness will be tolerated!"
Without a word, the inner disciples of Green Crest Peak, Fragrant Cloud Peak, and Violet Cauldron Peak dropped their tasks. They quivered but didn't hesitate for a moment and started moving.
Even those involved in significant missions didn't dare delay for a moment. Everyone knew Ouyang Jie was an elder of the Judicial Hall, and he was... merciless!
Apart from his name, he had a Daoist name; he was called Daoist Jackal. His leadership in a sect event meant something completely enraging had occurred. It meant... people needed to die. It meant... an entire clan had to be annihilated!
As countless individuals appeared, the sound of thundering filled the sky, rushing towards the main gate. It soon became clear that from the three peaks on the South Shore, at least two thousand inner disciples were gathering. Usually, seeing one or two was rare, so many Outer Sect Disciples were utterly shaken.
Along with them were several hundred disciples from the Judicial Hall, dressed in black robes, led by an elder with fiery red hair. That elder exuded a fierce intent to kill, and he was Ouyang Jie.
Soon, more than two thousand gathered around the gate, all with grim and gloomy expressions.
"The Luochen Clan has become traitors. The sect leaders have ordered their clan... to be wiped out completely down to the last chicken and dog. Activate the Daoseed Teleportation Portal!" Ouyang Jie waved his glove, and immediately a massive pillar of light rose from Daoseed Mountain at the center of the Spiritual Flow Sect.
