271: Chapter 271 They Came to Our Door

Over a string of Peaks, patches of dark clouds accumulated in the sky, as if they would fall at any moment.

Deep within the dark clouds, bolts of lightning as thick as purple Thunder Flood Dragons crackled noisily.

Suddenly, this area containing terrifying lightning power was instantly pierced by a beam of light, and the next moment, the entire sky suddenly cleared up.

"Master Zijiao, get the hell out here!" A roar that resounded through the sky rang out.

All the Disciples of the Zilong Sect were stunned, and many Cultivators were shaken so badly by this spiritual power that their faces turned pale white, causing them to directly pass out.

"How dare you be so arrogant? Aren't you just bullying my Zilong Sect into having no one?" A Purple Palace Cultivator stood out and sternly rebuked.

"Get lost!" A fierce spiritual power swept him away, and that Purple Palace Cultivator continuously vomited blood along the way.

"You guys?" Inside the Zilong Sect, several Elders stood out, glaring angrily at those few Golden Core Masters on the horizon who had uninhibitedly attacked them.

"Oh? Unconvinced?" The Palace Master of Biluo Palace said directly.

Just as he wanted to continue attacking, streaks of purple lightning exploded across Zilong Peak, and immediately after, a purple figure rose into the air and stood.

He was precisely Master Zijiao.

"Palace Master of Biluo Palace, as well as Fellow Daoists, what brings you to my Sect?" Master Zijiao narrowed his eyes and asked in return.

"You're finally willing to come out. Fellow Daoist Zijiao, before questioning us, shouldn't you first ask yourself what kind of wicked deeds you've done?" The gaze of the Palace Master of Biluo Palace carried a hint of murderous intent.

Master Zijiao bullied the weak with his strength and attacked the Purple Mansion Immortal Master within their Sect; they had to settle this score.

"What?" Master Zijiao was somewhat surprised; could these people have discovered something?

For a moment, he did not answer, instead thinking about what to do next.

"Hmph, you did it, so you did it. What, you don't dare to admit it?" The Palace Master of Biluo Palace said coldly.

"So I did it, so what?" Master Zijiao smiled. This was the Zilong Sect, after all; how could it be a place where they could run wild casually?

"Since you've admitted it, don't blame me for attacking." The Late Stage and Peak Golden Core Aura on the Palace Master of Biluo Palace erupted, bringing a strong sense of crisis to Master Zijiao.

Seeing this, Master Zijiao had his Disciples raise the Formation. With his strength, he could at most fight a Middle Stage Golden Core, plus at most an Early Stage Golden Core Thunder Flood Dragon.

Yet this kind of combat power was still unable to directly confront the Palace Master of Biluo Palace.

"Hmph, do you think that with this, you can stop this old man?" The Palace Master of Biluo Palace raised his palm and pressed down, and a terrifying Aura crushed toward the Formation along with his palm.

The Formation barrier was continuously oppressed, and even caved in by a large margin because of it. A Low Grade Tier 4 Formation in the hands of a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator seemingly truly could not stop it.

Master Zijiao's gaze condensed, and he condensed Palm Thunder in his hand, releasing streaks of lightning that blasted toward the Palace Master of Biluo Palace.

Seeing this, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace had a flash of green light from the jade pendant at his waist. In a split second, those streaks of lightning vanished into thin air, and not a single one came close to him.

"As expected of the Palace Master of Biluo Palace, your methods really are different." Master Zijiao sneered, but his eyes carried a strong sense of dread.

Back then, the Palace Master of Biluo Palace could single-handedly deal with two Middle Stage Golden Cores, and they were even the strongest Golden Core Masters of the Han and Shu Countries.

If either of those two made a move, he admitted he was no match for them, let alone dealing with the Palace Master of Biluo Palace.

Even if he now had a Golden Core Thunder Flood Dragon and a Tier 4 Formation to assist him, his chances of winning were still not large.

Damn it, if this old man had known earlier, he would have been more covert. That way, hiding and surviving for another hundred years or so—not to mention reaching the Late Stage Golden Core, reaching the Middle Stage Peak Golden Core would have been absolute certainty.

Over the years, he had been cultivating a Cultivation Technique named the World-Confounding Demonic Technique.

This Cultivation Technique required collecting corpses, extracting corpse Qi from these corpses, and thereby relying on this corpse Qi to advance further.

Even though he still had several hundred years left before his limit, every single barrier of the Golden Core Stage was extremely difficult to make a Breakthrough in. Who knew whether he could make a Breakthrough to the Late Stage Golden Core in the coming centuries? If he couldn't, becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be even more impossible.

Because after the Late Stage Golden Core, one still had to pass through the Great Perfection Golden Core, and even the False Nascent Soul level, before entering the Nascent Soul Stage.

And wanting to enter the Nascent Soul from the False Nascent Soul level had a low probability as well, unless one obtained a Nascent Soul-forming spiritual object.

How hard was it to find a Nascent Soul-forming spiritual object!

He had originally thought of entering the Late Stage Golden Core first before talking, but now the Palace Master of Biluo Palace had come looking for him directly.

Not only that, but behind him were also three Golden Core Masters. Aside from Master Biyun, the other two belonged to the Yuxu Sect and the Tianyan Sect respectively.

Surrounded by four people, if no one came to his aid, he would inevitably be doomed today.

After all, things like Demonic Techniques weren't as soul-destroying and inhumane as evil cultivation, but they weren't much better either. This was because demonic Cultivators were always fickle and ruthless in their strikes, and the blood staining their hands was not a single bit less than that of evil Cultivators.

The only difference was that evil Cultivators killed not only Cultivators but also Mortals, shaking the Foundation of the Human Race.

Meanwhile, demonic Cultivators hardly killed Mortals and only killed Cultivators, nor were they as uninhibited as evil Cultivators who killed people on sight.

In fact, Master Zijiao wasn't considered a demonic Cultivator at the very beginning; he had simply cultivated the World-Confounding Demonic Technique.

Having cultivated a Demonic Technique, even if he wasn't a demonic Cultivator, he was effectively one.

Especially since he had stolen the corpses of so many Purple Palace Cultivators from various countries over the past few decades. Now that it had been discovered, how could these people let him go?

Boom, boom, boom!

The Palace Master of Biluo Palace continuously attacked the Formation, while Master Biyun and the other three did not make a move.

Their target was everyone else.

Right now, Wei, Shu, Han, and Medicine King Valley must have dispatched Golden Core Masters to rush over, and their purpose was very simple: they wanted to figure out what these few people intended to do.

Because these few countries were already deeply bound with the Zilong Sect. If any side met with an accident, they might have to bear the anger of Yan Country alone in the future.

As the Palace Master of Biluo Palace continuously attacked, the protective Formation of the Zilong Sect finally shattered.

Seeing this, Master Zijiao hurriedly drove the Thunder Flood Dragon to attack, while he himself launched a sneak attack from behind.

With a wave of the sleeve of the Palace Master of Biluo Palace, that Thunder Flood Dragon was beaten back. However, dragons and their kin had naturally powerful Physical Bodies and could not be injured by just such a move.

Seeing the Thunder Flood Dragon charge up again, lightning continuously surged from its body and then attacked him.

The Palace Master of Biluo Palace patted his Storage Pouch, and an oil lamp rose into mid-air.

"A High Grade Tier 4 Magic Treasure, Demon Refining Lamp?" Master Zilong saw this and said in shock.

The power of the Demon Refining Lamp could be described as extraordinary, especially against Yao Beasts. Once cast, no matter how strong a Yao Beast's Physical Body was, it could not resist the burning of the lampwick.

Crackle!

Inside the oil lamp, the lampwick burned continuously, and streaks of flames frantically lunged toward the Thunder Flood Dragon. Instantly, the Thunder Flood Dragon was wrapped in flames, and the flesh and blood on its body kept dripping down like liquid.

Roar!

The Thunder Flood Dragon let out a miserable scream and crashed toward the ground.

Seeing this, Master Zijiao raised his hand, and streaks of purple lightning bombarded the Palace Master of Biluo Palace.

The Palace Master of Biluo Palace glared, and a cyan Flying Sword appeared out of thin air before him. He reached out his hand, grasped it, and slashed down with a single sword stroke.

All those purple lightning bolts were slashed into fragments by a single sword.

Master Zijiao was startled and immediately abandoned the Thunder Flood Dragon, wanting to flee. Truly an old monster, how could he have so many Magic Treasures on hand?

"Want to run? No way!" The Palace Master of Biluo Palace shouted.
