196: Chapter 196 Two Fingers Kill the Purple Mansion

Hearing Master Zijiao's explanation, a trace of dread flashed through Huang Zhenyuan's eyes before quickly dissipating.

He had already held back the entire Anti-Immortal Alliance for a full hour, and logically speaking, the nearest Golden Core Master should be arriving soon.

Step by step, Master Zijiao walked out from inside the grand hall, stepping through the air toward his opponent.

Terrifying auras continuously overflowed from around his body, and the deterrence he brought to all Cultivators far exceeded that of Huang Zhenyuan.

Controlling a massive yellow tripod, Huang Zhenyuan unleashed boundless yellow sand that filled the sky, forming wave after wave to sweep toward Master Zijiao.

With a mere wave of his hand, Master Zijiao quickly condensed the aura around him to block out the yellow sand, while he himself slapped his Spirit Beast Bag with his right hand.

At once, a purple flood dragon over a thousand zhang long emerged into the world.

Huang Zhenyuan's eyelids twitched. An Early Stage Golden Core Thunder Flood Dragon?!

Roar!

A massive amount of thunder bloomed as the Thunder Flood Dragon roared, bolts of lightning as thick as fists leaping outward in all directions.

Quite a few low-tier Cultivators were caught in the fallout, and thousands died in the blink of an eye.

"Enough playing around, make your move!" Master Zijiao's voice rang in its ear. The purple Thunder Flood Dragon's eyes instantly flashed with ferocity as thick bolts of lightning bombarded Huang Zhenyuan.

The two of them began the second round of their intense battle, except this time, Huang Zhenyuan was suppressed the entire way.

On the ground, after recovering from their shock, many low-tier Cultivators began to reassemble the Formation under the orders of the high-tier Cultivators of the Anti-Immortal Alliance.

Meanwhile, Master Zijiao took the remaining Purple Palace Cultivators and left, returning to Purple Dragon Peak.

Their main objective right now was to relocate. Master Zijiao's true body had already been preparing for this matter, and now they could begin.

After all, a single Huang Zhenyuan was not terrifying; what was terrifying was that the other Golden Core Masters would also make a move.

In particular, there were a few Golden Core Masters in Yan Country that even he did not want to collide with head-on.

While the group hurried to relocate the grotto-heaven, on the other side, Huang Zhenyuan and the Thunder Flood Dragon were still locked in a fierce battle.

However, because Huang Zhenyuan had depleted too much of his magic power, facing the Thunder Flood Dragon at its peak, he began to find himself stretched thin.

As for Chen Lingtong and the other two, after a brief moment of shock, they dodged the crowds while heading toward the grotto-heaven's exit.

During this time, quite a few Cultivators noticed something amiss with them, but when Chen Lingtong produced the Anti-Immortal Token given by Master Qianyu, those Cultivators did not dare to stop them.

...

Several days later, in Jizhou.

The Palace Master of Biluo Palace personally presided over Jizhou City, while outside the city were the Cultivators of the Three States.

During this period, Biluo Palace's newly promoted Golden Core Master, Master Biyun, had been ambushed. Even though he managed to salvage his life afterward, he was heavily injured and was currently recuperating inside Biluo Palace.

"Palace Master of Biluo Palace, and all you little friends, if you are willing to surrender without a fight, we can reserve a spot for you. Otherwise, when the city falls, next year will be your anniversary of death."

Outside the city, a State of Wei Golden Core Cultivator shouted before the battle.

Inside the city, many Cultivators felt their hearts stir upon hearing this. Most of them were merely low-level Cultivators of Yan Country; what did the destruction of Yan Country have to do with them?!

Furthermore, the most they needed to worry about was their Family standing behind them. But now, which of these major powers had the leisure to care about them? Previously, several Purple Mansion factions in Jizhou had already led an entire commandery to surrender.

Since they could do so, why couldn't they?

However, Biluo Palace also detected the unusual movements of these low-tier Cultivators and naturally had countermeasures in place. On one hand, they dispatched Cultivators to keep an eye on their families, and on the other, they offered generous rewards to pacify the people's hearts.

Aside from that, a steady stream of Cultivators arriving from the rear also allowed them to see a glimmer of hope for victory.

Moreover, Jizhou City had not only the Late Stage Golden Core Master who was the Palace Master of Biluo Palace, but also Golden Core Masters from the other three major Sects.

As for other Golden Core families, the Haoyue Tang Family and the Tianyuan Han Family had each sent a Golden Core Master.

In contrast, the three states of Han, Wei, and Shu had only sent eight Golden Core Masters. Although they seemed to have the advantage in numbers, the actual gap was not large.

Of course, these were only the Golden Core Masters on the surface; both sides had secretly brought a few more, each harboring their own suspicions.

An hour later, both sides erupted into a massive battle once again.

As the most important strategic pass in northern Yan Country, if Jizhou City were lost, Biluo Palace would have to face the Cultivators of the Three States directly.

Opposite them, Immortal Master Dongxuan of the State of Wei made the first move, and matching up against him was Daoist Wuyou of the Yuxu Sect.

Seeing this, the remaining Golden Core Masters also joined the fray one after another.

On the ground, led by the Purple Mansion Master, countless Spells poured down toward Jizhou City.

Boom, boom, boom!

Spells continuously bombarded the Formation. The Yan Country Cultivators tried their utmost to maintain the Formation, with a portion of them leaving the Formation to kill enemies and alleviate the burden on the Formation.

Looking at everything before her, Master Baiye slightly frowned. Although Jizhou City had successfully blocked the Cultivators of the Three States during this period, she always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Unable to figure out why, she stopped thinking about it too much and left the Formation to assist the Yan Country Cultivators.

The moment she appeared on the scene, several Purple Mansion Masters attacked her simultaneously.

As one of the two most prodigious talents in Yan Country today, Master Baiye posed an immense threat to the Three States.

Once she advanced to the Golden Core Stage, by then a single person would be able to fight three Golden Core experts.

This was also the strength personally demonstrated by Master Biyun.

Back then, even though they ambushed him, winning was not easy.

"Three Early Stage Purple Mansion, one Middle Stage Purple Mansion, and one Late Stage Purple Mansion." Master Baiye silently chanted in her heart.

Master Baiye cultivated the Green Lotus Creation Technique. The power of this Cultivation Technique far exceeded ordinary Cultivation Techniques; correspondingly, it was also very difficult to Cultivate, and its conditions were relatively harsh, requiring Cultivators with a Water Spiritual Root to Cultivate it.

Relying on this technique, Master Baiye had never met an opponent since entering the cultivation world. No one within the same Realm could withstand ten moves from her.

With every step she took, lotuses bloomed beneath her feet. Each white lotus looked so holy, yet beneath that holiness lay the ultimate murderous intent.

Within a radius of one mile, countless low-tier Cultivators were locked onto by this murderous intent, and then inexplicably collapsed and fell asleep.

This bizarre method caused all the Cultivators present to be filled with shock.

For a time, within several miles around, no one dared to approach her.

"Insignificant tricks," the Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator who was surrounding and attacking Master Baiye said disdainfully.

Having said that, he conjured a set of dark green Flying Swords, all of which surged toward Master Baiye.

Master Baiye lightly flicked her finger—White Lotus Tribulation-Extinguishing Finger.

Bang!

In an instant, the entire set of Flying Swords was shattered by this single finger.

Before everyone could react, Master Baiye pointed out yet another finger. With lightning speed that gave no time to cover one's ears, this finger directly pierced through the Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator.

That Purple Mansion Master spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression turning pale with terror. "How could this be?"

The other Purple Mansion Masters who were jointly attacking Master Baiye were filled with shock when they saw this scene.

Killing a Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator with two fingers—this was simply...?!

Too outrageous!!!

The other four blankly looked at Master Baiye, for a moment not knowing whether to press the attack or retreat.
