Chapter 2437: Chapter 2437: Shocking Upheaval

Fang Bai calculated that if he returned to the Moon Sea Sect now, he would arrive just in time before the Chaos Heaven Sect launched their attack; otherwise, the Moon Sea Sect might fall into peril.

Thus, he declined the invitation from the Great Luo Immortal Emperor to visit Tianyin Temple, leaving on auspicious clouds with the Roaring Arhat and the Golden Palm Arhat.

As for the Lotus Fairy, Fang Bai decided to keep her temporarily in the Five Elements Space Ring to cultivate, releasing her once they returned to the Moon Sea Sect.

The Lotus Fairy had gotten well acquainted with the Single-Horned Dragon Horse within the Five Elements Space Ring, and the space was filled with rich Immortal Qi and ample cultivation resources, which Fang Bai told her she could use freely.

Therefore, Fang Bai’s suggestion that she stay in the Five Elements Space Ring to cultivate was perfectly to her liking.

The Roaring Arhat and the Golden Palm Arhat, following the Great Luo Immortal Emperor’s instructions, treated Fang Bai with utmost respect, akin to their treatment of the Great Luo Immortal Emperor.

Although curious about Fang Bai’s identity and background, they knew better than to inquire since Fang Bai chose not to disclose it.

They flew out of the Tianyin Mountain Range, then used a teleportation array from a nearby Immortal City to reach another Immortal City thousands of miles away, from where they rode a flying creature at full speed towards the Moon Sea Sect.

On this day, they finally arrived over the Moon Sea Sect.

Before reaching the Moon Sea Sect, Fang Bai anticipated meeting Linghu Qianjiao soon and felt relieved that with the help of the two arohats from Tianyin Temple, they could effortlessly repel Chaos Heaven Sect’s invasion.

However, upon arriving above the Moon Sea Sect, he found the sect in ruins, a chaos of scattered debris and wreckage.

Thousands upon thousands of Moon Sea Sect disciples lay dead among the debris, many corpses were incomplete, a ghastly scene to behold.

Moreover, the formations Fang Bai meticulously set to protect several major peaks of the Moon Sea Sect had been disarmed by some Immortal, failing to provide any protection.

Viewing the tragic state of the Moon Sea Sect, Fang Bai couldn’t fathom what had transpired, a buzzing sound echoed in his mind, his immediate concern being for Linghu Qianjiao’s life or death.

His eyes widened, breath heavy, heart anxiously suspended, scanning the countless corpses of Moon Sea Sect disciples, yet Linghu Qianjiao was nowhere to be seen.

His divine sense diffused across a thousand-mile radius, still unable to detect the slightest trace of Linghu Qianjiao.

Such a situation suggested only two possibilities:

Either Linghu Qianjiao had perished long ago, disintegrating into a blood mist, leaving no trace.

Or Linghu Qianjiao might still be alive but had left the Moon Sea Sect beforehand, which would also explain why her aura had dissipated without a trace.

Fang Bai hoped for the second possibility.

Yet, if Linghu Qianjiao were alive, why would she leave the Moon Sea Sect?

Additionally, among the corpses, Fang Bai did not find any trace or aura of the Moon Sea Fairy, Hailan Fairy, or Crane Feather Fairy, the outstanding members of the Moon Sea Sect.

Whether they were alive or dead, Fang Bai had no means to ascertain.

After a thorough search around the Moon Sea Sect, Fang Bai couldn’t find any useful clues, which gradually calmed him down.

"Let’s go to the Chaos Heaven Sect!"

Fang Bai clenched his fists tightly, eyes shining with sharp intent, he said in a deep voice.

While Fang Bai couldn’t be certain that Chaos Heaven Sect was responsible for Moon Sea Sect’s annihilation, they were the primary suspects.

Besides, even if Chaos Heaven Sect was not the culprit, they had recently set up many spies around the Moon Sea Sect, likely knowing something about the incident.

Therefore, Fang Bai decided to visit Chaos Heaven Sect.

If he learned from Chaos Heaven Sect that Linghu Qianjiao had fallen and was slain by Chaos Heaven Sect’s experts, Fang Bai would act with unbridled fury to annihilate Chaos Heaven Sect entirely, ensuring all disciples joined her in the grave.

The Roaring Arhat and the Golden Palm Arhat looked at Fang Bai.

Though Fang Bai appeared calm on the surface, they could perceive a storming aura of killing intent brewing within him.

This killing intent faintly contained traces of imperial majesty, far beyond what a sixth-grade Immortal King Realm expert could emanate, which left them feeling both astonished and puzzled.

Thus, Fang Bai’s identity was rendered even more mysterious in their eyes.

Chaos Heaven Sect was merely a few tens of thousands of miles away from the Moon Sea Sect, Fang Bai along with the Roaring Arhat and the Golden Palm Arhat quickly arrived there on their flying mount.

With the roahats accompanying him, Fang Bai approached Chaos Heaven Sect’s entrance without reservation, filled with murderous rage and intent.

Before coming to Chaos Heaven Sect, Fang Bai had prepared for a major battle.

Yet, upon reaching Chaos Heaven Sect, he found it as devastating as the Moon Sea Sect, littered with debris and corpses of disciples.

"What... what exactly is going on here?"

Despite Chaos Heaven Sect’s demise, Fang Bai did not experience any relief but was increasingly worried.

He could see that the destruction of both Moon Sea Sect and Chaos Heaven Sect was identical, allowing him to infer that the same force was behind them.

The question remained, which force harbored such deep enmity against the two sects to annihilate them both?

Although Fang Bai and Linghu Qianjiao shared a mental connection, if they were too far apart, or if Linghu Qianjiao were trapped in an artifact like Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring, their connection would weaken significantly, making it nearly imperceptible.

Thus, Fang Bai couldn’t ascertain if Linghu Qianjiao had perished, or if she had been captured or imprisoned by other Immortals.

"Immortal Friend Fang, what do we do now?"

After exchanging glances, the Roaring Arhat and the Golden Palm Arhat stepped forward to ask.

They accompanied Fang Bai to rescue the Moon Sea Sect and punish Chaos Heaven Sect, yet both sects were already decimated, awaiting Fang Bai’s next decision.

Uncertain whether the Demon Clan or the Wolf Clan would invade from Tianyin Temple, if Fang Bai no longer required their assistance, they would return immediately.

Nonetheless, if Fang Bai still needed them, they were obliged to obey his command.

After all, before their journey, the Great Luo Immortal Emperor had instructed them to follow Fang Bai’s lead in all matters.

"What should we do... what should we do..."

Fang Bai muttered, brows furrowed.

With Moon Sea Sect and Chaos Heaven Sect both obliterated and no clues to follow, Fang Bai was also at a loss for what to do next.

At that moment, suddenly, a "corpse" among the numerous Chaos Heaven Sect disciples’ remains moved slightly.

A sharp look appeared in Fang Bai’s eyes, and he instantly appeared beside the "corpse."

It was a Chaos Heaven Sect disciple, severely wounded, with his body from the waist down missing, leaving only his upper half. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Not yet dead, but with only a thin thread of life remaining, without excellent Immortal Pills, this last breath of life would fade away, eventually leading to death.

Judging by his attire, this Chaos Heaven Sect disciple likely held a notable position within the sect.

Although Fang Bai harbored no goodwill towards Chaos Heaven Sect disciples, even entertaining thoughts of annihilating the entire sect, this disciple presented an indispensable clue to finding the culprit behind the destruction of both Moon Sea Sect and Chaos Heaven Sect, thus Fang Bai had no choice but to save him.
