Chapter 1429: Rescue in Azure Province, Red-BeardaEUR(tm)s Calamity (Part 2) Chapter 1429: Rescue in Azure Province, Red-BeardaEUR(tm)s Calamity (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Red-Beard couldn’t shake off the shadow of a growing, ominous feeling that gripped his heartaEUR”a feeling that only intensified with each passing moment.

As a powerful Earth Immortal, he knew the significance of such premonitions.

Earth Immortals are connected with the very fabric of the world, so vivid an intuition couldn’t simply be dismissed as paranoia.

Yet the treasure before him was a rare gem, one that might only appear once in tens of thousands, even millions, of years.

After all the sacrifices he’d made, how could he abandon it so easily?

Red-Beard’s gaze flickered with uncertainty as he prayed that the treasure would emerge soon.

He reasoned that as long as he obtained it quickly, he could escape Western Province and never look back.

But that hope shattered in an instant.

Suddenly, within the ruins of Azure Cloud Sect, a space portal opened, and two figures, emanating ethereal celestial energy, stepped through.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura locked onto Red-Beard, sending a chill down his spine as he turned sharply to see who had arrived.

“Coming to Western Province and acting with such disregardaEUR”isn’t that a bit too bold?

Do you think so little of Western Province cultivators?” A calm yet authoritative voice resonated across the void, so cold that the very air seemed to freeze.

Even the howling storm around them seemed to calm as though subdued by an unseen hand.

“Who are you!

How did you get here?” Red-Beard demanded, his voice laced with shock and anger, as he failed to comprehend how these two had bypassed the layers of immortal-level formations he’d set up.

These barriers were a legacy of Red Dragon Sect, the very foundations of its survival in the Central Province.

Even other Earth Immortals couldn’t slip through them unnoticed.

Yet these two had done exactly that, leaving Red-Beard rattled.

A voice laced with icy amusement replied, “I am Jiang Chengxuan.

I wonder, have you heard the name?” At the sound of his name, Red-Beard’s massive frame trembled slightly as memories surfaced.

The name “Jiang Chengxuan” was well-known even beyond the Western Province, among Earth Immortals everywhere.

His growing reputation preceded him in various Earth Immortal gatherings, leaving Red-Beard well aware of his accomplishments.

“So, it’s youaEUR| Jiang Chengxuan of the Western Province’s Alliance?” Red-Beard asked with a hardened expression, recognizing the other man’s imposing aura.

“Indeed.

And now that I’ve answered you, shouldn’t you explain yourself?” Jiang Chengxuan replied calmly, his composure a stark contrast to Red-Beard’s visible discomfort.

Facing the question, Red-Beard quickly composed himself.

“Since the calamity, I came to survey the aftermath in Western Province.

Seeing an opportunity here, I waited for the treasure to emerge.

I planned to leave once it was obtained,” he explained, attempting to sound diplomatic.

He even invoked the name of his sect, Red Dragon Sect, hoping that would give Jiang Chengxuan pause.

But Jiang Chengxuan saw through the ruse.

With a faint, knowing smile, he looked at Red-Beard, his gaze so steady that Red-Beard felt his composure waver.

“This treasure isn’t yours to take, nor will you be leaving,” Jiang Chengxuan stated bluntly.

His tone was calm, but his words hit like thunder.

“What are you saying?

Are you trying to steal my opportunity and start a battle?” Red-Beard roared, his rage igniting as flames flared around him, casting a crimson glow that painted the sky.

His powerful aura spread, filling the sky with scarlet flames as if trying to swallow the heavens.

“Your opportunity?” a voice cut in, sharp and cold.

It was Shen Ruyan, Jiang Chengxuan’s companion, finally breaking her silence.

“Since when did Azure Province belong to Red Dragon Sect?” Her taunt was met with the surge of her own power, filling the sky with thunderous lightning that wove together into a vast sea of storm clouds.

Brilliant bolts of lightning cut through the darkness, extending over the horizon and intertwining with the flames, tearing at the fabric of the sky.

Even though Shen Ruyan had only just ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, her power was already on par with Red-Beard’s.

With the forces of fire and lightning clashing above, the sky itself seemed to groan under the weight of such overwhelming energies.

The roaring crackle of the combined forces shattered the stillness as space itself splintered under the pressure.

“SssaEUR”” Red-Beard’s breath caught in his throat.

Realizing that Jiang Chengxuan’s companion was also an Earth Immortal, he felt a surge of alarm.

“Two against one?

Robbing me of my opportunity?

Don’t you think this is a bit too overbearing?” he shouted, trying to paint himself as the victim of their oppression.

He hoped to muddle the situation and find a way out, given the disparity in strength.

But Jiang Chengxuan simply dismissed the complaints.

“This is Azure Province.

You not only trespassed but also detained members of Azure Cloud Sect.

Do you deny your guilt?” With a single wave of his hand, a door of silvery light appeared.

A soft hum filled the air as energy pulsed outward, followed by figures emerging from the doorway, each enveloped in the same silver glow, their forms materializing within the void.

“Huh?

What happened?

Where are we?” “Wait, what’s going on?

How did we get here?” The voices of confusion slowly faded as the disciples saw Jiang Chengxuan standing before them, and relief washed over them.

“Elder Jiang has come to save us!” “It’s Elder Jiang!

And Elder Shen!” The newly freed disciples of Azure Cloud Sect gazed at Red-Beard with fury, initially believing they had once again fallen into his clutches until they realized their rescuers were here.

Upon seeing the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect, Red-Beard’s face darkened.

His expression was ashen, his eyes betraying the helplessness of a man whose lies had been exposed.

Not only had his scheme been foiled, but Jiang Chengxuan’s abilities were proving far beyond his reach.

Jiang Chengxuan had neutralized his barriers without even being in close proximity.

He now understood that he was facing a foe vastly out of his league.
