Chapter 164: Strong Reinforcements Arrive
Chapter 164: Strong Reinforcements Arrive
At Two Realms Mountain, a group suddenly appeared, speeding rapidly, and in an instant, they moved from outside the war zone close to the core area.
“Oh! Isn’t this the famous supreme elders of the Seven Great Sects… all of them?”
The first to notice this group of uninvited guests was the number one evil cultivator, Immortal Lord Biluo. He immediately recognized several people in the team and couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark: “Tsk tsk, you finally made it. The journey from the Seven Great Sects to Two Realms Mountain is long. You old bones aren’t as young as the youngsters anymore. You should be careful when traveling over mountains and rivers, don’t strain your old backs or sprain your ankles. Otherwise, the young ones will have to carry you back.”
“Humph! Old ghost Biluo! The killings committed by your Yanfu Mountain will be settled another day. Today, I won’t cause trouble for you, so get out of my way.”
Provoked by Biluo’s sarcastic remarks, someone couldn’t hold back and was the first to retort! It was an old man with a red face and a bulbous nose, eyes like bronze bells, imposing even without anger, standing on a gourd, giving off an immortal aura.
Biluo had been waiting bitterly for these old monsters from the Seven Great Sects on Two Realms Mountain for a long time without seeing any trace of them, and he was filled with pent-up frustration. He was not about to let it go easily. He immediately summoned the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls. Instantly, tens of thousands of Blood Fiends covered the sky and swept across Two Realms Mountain. He roared majestically:
“Your tone is quite big. I find it strange—with just your drunken, muddled abilities, Immortal Lord Jiuzao, how exactly do you plan to cause trouble for me?”
“Good!”
“Sect Leader is mighty!”
On Two Realms Mountain, the evil cultivators of Yanfu Mountain, eager to stir up trouble, cheered and supported Biluo.
Immortal Lord Jiuzao was furious, but after the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls was fully deployed, countless Blood Fiends filled the surroundings, howling like ghosts and wolves. He felt immense pressure, his Spiritual Energy circulation sluggish, and he had to open a Defensive Barrier to resist the oppression.
Everyone around opened their Defensive Barriers, treating the situation as a grave threat.
Only an old monk in golden kasaya smiled slightly, ignoring the Blood Fiends and Evil Spirits around him. He clasped his hands together:
“Amitabha.”
This single Buddhist chant, though devoid of any mantra power, caused the surrounding Blood Fiends and Evil Spirits to scatter, their faces full of fear.
“Immortal Lord Biluo has come to assist Two Realms Mountain and aid the Human Race. This is an act of great benevolence and compassion. This humble monk expresses gratitude on behalf of all living beings for Immortal Lord Biluo’s great kindness.”
“Humph.”
Biluo snorted, sounding extremely arrogant. “At least you, bald donkey Bitter Sea, know how to speak nicely, unlike that drunken old man. Arriving late and still acting entitled—no wonder the youngsters under his command were killed by my people.”
“You…”
Immortal Lord Jiuzao’s hair and beard bristled upon hearing this!
Seeing that Immortal Lord Jiuzao was genuinely angered, someone quickly stepped in to mediate.
“This humble Taoist, Yuding, greets Fellow Daoist Biluo.”
Compared to Immortal Lord Jiuzao, this person appeared even more immortal-like. He flew close to the ground, completely unaffected by the Flight Prohibition Array. He had white hair and white eyebrows, wearing a Taoist robe whiter than snow, yet his face was ruddy, his smile warm, and his demeanor youthful.
Both Lu Hangzhi and Situ couldn’t help but feel a shiver of awe.
Who said the Mystic Light Immortal Lords of the Seven Great Sects were inferior to the top expert of Yanfu Mountain?
The one before them was profound and unfathomable enough!
Wait…
Yuding?
Lu Hangzhi opened his mouth slightly, a look of surprise on his face, thinking to himself, Could it be that Yuding from the Yuding Sect?
Just then, Biluo’s slightly unusual voice rang out:
“So it’s you, old undying one. After all these years… you actually haven’t died yet.”
This statement confirmed the doubts in Lu Hangzhi and Situ’s hearts.
The two were first startled, then overjoyed.
Immortal Lord Yuding!
It really was him!
Over a hundred years ago, under the pressure of the Monster Beast army, he created the Matrix Tower during the Mystic Light Stage. Later, he elevated the Yuding Sect from an ordinary large sect to one of the Seven Great Sects, even becoming the de facto leader among them—a legendary figure.
It was said that over a hundred years ago, Immortal Lord Yuding was already over three hundred years old, nearing the end of his Years. No one expected that after more than a hundred years, he was still alive…
And!
Lu Hangzhi actually couldn’t see through his cultivation level.
Situ glanced at Lu Hangzhi knowingly and transmitted her voice: “I can’t see through his cultivation either. It seems he has reached the Mystic Light Great Perfection stage. His strength probably isn’t much weaker than mine.”
“…”
Lu Hangzhi broke out in a cold sweat.
Mystic Light Great Perfection?
Wasn’t that even stronger than Mystic Light Mastery? Just one step away from transcending life and death, seizing the Creation of heaven and earth?
Immortal Lord Yuding’s strength was imaginably terrifying, definitely not something a low-tier talent like Immortal Lord Biluo, who was forcibly trained, could compare to.
But…
Lu Hangzhi also noticed.
When Situ compared their strengths, she said Immortal Lord Yuding’s strength probably wasn’t much weaker than hers…
This was very intriguing!
Situ actually had such confidence facing Immortal Lord Yuding. It seemed that in the Green Maple Continent she mentioned, she was probably not an ordinary Mystic Light Mastery cultivator.
The Buddhist Sect’s monk Bitter Sea and the Yuding Sect’s Immortal Lord Yuding appeared together, followed by the Imperial Wine Sect’s Supreme Elder Immortal Lord Jiuzao. The three Mystic Light Immortal Lords arrived together at the summit of Two Realms Mountain, appearing before Biluo, finally making this previously arrogant top evil sect expert show a solemn expression.
Regarding the hidden meaning in Immortal Lord Yuding’s words, Biluo could only turn a blind eye.
Compared to Immortal Lord Yuding, he, Biluo, was far inferior…
After all, the other was a powerful figure who rose abruptly over a hundred years ago, making immeasurable contributions to Two Realms Mountain and the Human Race. It was said that the Yuding Sect he built was called the last line of defense of the Barbarian Continent. It not only gathered the elite forces of the Seven Great Sects but also featured hundreds of Matrix Towers, a scale no less than Two Realms Mountain. If one day Two Realms Mountain fell, the evil cultivators of Yanfu Mountain might have to seek refuge under the Yuding Sect. Therefore, facing Immortal Lord Yuding, Biluo truly couldn’t act tough.
Immortal Lord Biluo snorted coldly, then flashed away to collect spoils, opting to avoid the situation.
The three watched Immortal Lord Biluo leave.
Immortal Lord Jiuzao angrily glared at him one last time.
“Forget it, Jiuzao.”
“Humph, he’s just doing some small tasks under the protection of Situ and Lu Hangzhi, yet he’s so arrogant.” Immortal Lord Jiuzao’s anger hadn’t subsided.
Immortal Lord Yuding reminded him:
“Time is pressing. Don’t forget the purpose of our trip.”
After speaking, he gazed at the only Matrix Tower on the mountain summit.
If eyes could see through objects, this was probably what it would look like!
Lu Hangzhi felt that the Matrix Tower’s Barrier was completely useless in Immortal Lord Yuding’s eyes…
Alright.
Who made it his product? All the Formations were designed by him. For later electronic products, which manufacturer isn’t the super administrator?
No helping it.
Lu Hangzhi said something to Situ, then floated out of the Matrix Tower and came before the three.
“Lu Hangzhi pays respects to the three Immortal Lords.”
The three simultaneously stopped and smiled!
“So you are Sect Leader Lu. Truly as young as rumored.”
“Good, good.”
“A hero emerges from the young. Seeing your demeanor now, Hangzhi, this humble Taoist suddenly feels old.”
“Immortal Lord Yuding is the true hero, a model for us youngsters to learn from. To meet the creator of the Matrix Tower at Two Realms Mountain, Hangzhi feels immensely fortunate for his Three Lives.
“Little guy, not only is your cultivation and luck amazing, but your words and speech have even surpassed us old fellows. Haha, too kind, I am ashamed, ashamed.” Immortal Lord Yuding chatted and laughed, giving people a very kind and friendly feeling. No wonder even an old monster like Biluo had to hide his little thoughts in front of him.
“You did well, kid, but there’s just one thing I, the old man, have to talk to you about.”
At this moment, Immortal Lord Jiuzao spoke.
Lu Hangzhi had a feeling and blinked, nodding as if to listen.
“That girl named Situ, she probably isn’t from the Barbarian Continent, right?”
“Right.”
“The news that the Demon Army is about to invade the Barbarian Continent, did you get that from Lady Situ as well?”
“Yes.”
Lu Hangzhi nodded sheepishly.
These old seniors were really no simple folks; they figured everything out so quickly.
Jiuzao had an expression that said, “See, I knew it.”
“Since you had the news, why didn’t you contact the Seven Great Sects, but instead contacted that unreliable old monster from Yanfu Mountain? You have to explain that to me properly.”
Explain?
How to explain?
Lu Hangzhi thought to himself, he couldn’t possibly say that at the time the Seven Great Sects were busy dividing the benefits of Two Realms Mountain and had driven out all the cultivators from the major sects, and he just didn’t like it?
Saying that would definitely get him killed.
“Well, that was all Lady Situ’s decision at the time.”
“Eh?”
The three were stunned, their faces full of surprise and confusion.
Lu Hangzhi whispered to the three of them, half-truthfully explaining how he had eliminated the Jiuyou Sect for revenge and how Situ had conveniently planned to force all the Evil Cultivators of Yanfu Mountain to go to Two Realms Mountain. The expressions on their faces were quite something…
They thought it was a collaboration between both sides.
They thought Immortal Lord Biluo was moved by a call of the soul.
They thought Biluo came to Two Realms Mountain to help.
But now it seemed…
Immortal Lord Jiuzao instantly felt better, the corners of his mouth twitching with unspeakable delight.
The monk Bitter Sea wore a bitter smile.
Immortal Lord Yuding looked at Lu Hangzhi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, with some confusion.
Truly old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, they didn’t completely believe Lu Hangzhi’s words, but such a thing seemed to make sense.
Lu Hangzhi said seriously,
“During this time, being able to hold Two Realms Mountain, Immortal Lord Biluo of Yanfu Mountain and his disciples have contributed a lot. If any of you have grudges or disputes, at this critical moment for the Human Race, I hope you can set them aside for now. Also, Lady Situ and I do not want this matter to reach more people and embarrass Yanfu Mountain and Immortal Lord Biluo. I ask the three Immortal Lords to grant my unreasonable request.”
“…”
The three looked at each other, and finally, Immortal Lord Yuding and Bitter Sea both looked at Immortal Lord Jiuzao.
“What are you looking at me for? Do I seem like someone who doesn’t understand the bigger picture?!”
Immortal Lord Jiuzao exclaimed angrily.
“It’s great that Immortal Lord Jiuzao can agree. I wonder if the three of you coming to Two Realms Mountain this time means you have some good news to tell us?”
Lu Hangzhi blocked Immortal Lord Jiuzao’s escape route with one sentence, confirmed the matter, and then changed the subject.
The three looked surprised again.
How did you know?
Immortal Lord Yuding looked at Bitter Sea, then at Immortal Lord Jiuzao…
These two old friends definitely wouldn’t have leaked the news in advance.
After a thought, could it be…
This little guy figured it out himself?
What a monster!
Immortal Lord Yuding looked deeply at Lu Hangzhi a few times, his face turning serious, and said, “Yes, actually, we have been secretly watching the battle at Two Realms Mountain, studying and calculating ways to deal with the Blood Fiends and Elite Blood Fiends… and we finally made some discoveries.”
Lu Hangzhi’s eyes lit up.
