Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Postponed

"Trying to leave?" The goat-bearded True Person Chu Li laughed as he drew a circle in the void.

Hum————

In an instant, ripples spread out in the void around Hua Yunzhang and Hua Tianqiong.

"Big brother!" Hua Tianqiong’s face changed dramatically.

Hua Yunzhang remained silent, forming nine seal techniques with his hands in the void.

Boom!

It was at that moment that the great red Divine Light, previously destroyed by the Vajra Bull Demon of the Fierce Battle Sect, reappeared.

Not as magnificent as before, but it managed to shield an area, protecting both Hua Yunzhang and Hua Tianqiong from harm.

"War Demon Heaven Suppressing Hand!"

At the same time, Li Kuangtu struck without warning, his hand shooting straight towards the goat-bearded Chu Li.

It was a curveball rescue.

"War Demon Inheritor, huh..." Chu Li, seeing the giant hand descending, squinted slightly and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.

"If it were the War Demon from forty thousand years ago, I might actually be scared, but who do you think you are?"

Chu Li waved his hand.

Boom!

In an instant, a visible pale yellow mana began to swirl, transforming into a golden divine goat that boldly met the War Demon Heaven Suppressing Hand head-on.

When the two forces collided, it seemed as if the sky itself split in two.

The terrifying aftermath left the many cultivators from the nine great powers utterly shocked.

Was this the level of their battle?

Just from the onset of their combat, it was clear the force unleashed was beyond their ability to withstand.

Such beings, even if in the Longevity Realm or Heavenly Human Realm, could only be crushed!

It was terrifying.

"This person is the murderer who attacked our Sect Master!" Inside the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, the faces of several elders were extremely grim as they stared fixedly at Li Kuangtu.

They had already identified Li Kuangtu’s appearance clearly. When Li Kuangtu made his move, they recognized him immediately.

Li Kuangtu’s strength left them in awe.

Now, they finally understood why even with Sect Master Yun Dongfan and four Great Elders, they were still completely wiped out.

Such a being indeed had that kind of strength!

"You do have some skills," Chu Li suddenly chuckled.

Li Kuangtu’s expression remained cold and stern, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Had the young master not instructed me, I wouldn’t mind fighting you."

Hum————

The next moment, a bizarre scene occurred.

All of a sudden, Hua Tianqiong, Hua Yunzhang, Li Kuangtu, and Wen Shiyu disappeared into thin air.

Chu Li hadn’t even had a chance to respond to Li Kuangtu’s remark.

"Escaped?"

Seeing this, a few of them exchanged looks, their eyes filled with increased scorn.

"It seems like the Emperor Immortal Sect’s bunch of cowards are planning to stay low until Zhou Chaolong wakes up," Elder Su Guochang from the Yunxiao Sect said as he stroked his beard and squinted.

Zhan Shanbao’s back was somewhat stooped as he gazed at the seemingly ordinary yet tightly secured Emperor Immortal Sect and spoke slowly, "Brother Wen is in their hands, making things difficult..."

"Elders, perhaps we should use their people as leverage too," the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect whispered.

Zhan Shanbao glanced at him and said indifferently, "Using who as leverage?"

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder said, "Isn’t Lie Tian Heavenly Country on good terms with Emperor Immortal Sect now? Maybe we can use Lie Tian Heavenly Country as a threat?"

At that moment, True Person Huang Shan from Qianyuan Cave Heaven coldly said, "With us here, do we need such pointless tactics? The Yunxiao Sect might not care about losing face, but Qianyuan Cave Heaven still does."

The Vajra Bull Demon of the Fierce Battle Sect and Chu Li did not interrupt, but they had no intention of doing so either.

For people of their stature, engaging in such actions was not only embarrassing but also below their status.

After all, they were all revered ancestors; did they really need to resort to such self-degrading tactics?

This campaign against Emperor Immortal Sect was already unfair, being a case of the strong bullying the weak.

If they were to use Lie Tian Heavenly Country to threaten Emperor Immortal Sect, it would not only be unbeneficial but could even damage their sects’ reputations.

In the world of Sacred Sects, the larger they were, the more their reputation mattered.

The Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, both first-class major forces from the East Desolation Domain, naturally placed great emphasis on this point.

Moreover, in their view, they held absolute advantage and saw no need to act in such a manner.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect’s expression changed immediately.

Su Guochang and Zhan Shanbao, two senior ancestors of the Yunxiao Sect, also frowned covertly, feeling somewhat displeased.

Though this was the reasoning, True Person Huang Shan seemed to be subtly mocking their Yunxiao Sect.

Was he implying that Wen Shiyu was too foolish for walking right into a trap and now even dragging the Yunxiao Sect into it?

"Fellow Daoist, this matter is indeed inappropriate and could inevitably lead to criticism," an Elder from Qianyuan Cave Heaven advised the Elder of Yunxiao Sect.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect did not speak, as it was not his place to intervene at that moment.

He could only turn his gaze towards Su Guochang and Zhan Shanbao.

At that time, only those two ancestors had the right to speak.

Just as Su Guochang and Zhan Shanbao were about to speak, a voice abruptly emanated from within Emperor Immortal Sect:

"After twelve hours, when the Life Extension Technique concludes, if you choose to attack after that time, this fellow from the Yunxiao Sect can safely leave."

"Of course, if you choose to continue the attack now, that will be the end for this person from the Yunxiao Sect."

It sounded like a negotiation, yet also seemed like a declaration.

"Your Emperor Immortal Sect is nothing but a doomed sect; what right do you have to negotiate here?" the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect fiercely retorted: "Release our ancestor immediately, or else soon we will annihilate your sect completely!"

However, Su Guochang and Zhan Shanbao arched their eyebrows slightly, exchanged glances, and then Su Guochang slowly began to speak: "Is your Emperor Immortal Sect so sure that Zhou Chaolong will awaken and be ready to fight us?"

"Since that’s the case, we will give you a chance!"

This statement also signified that the Yunxiao Sect agreed to Zhou Zihuang’s proposal.

However, this caused the cultivators from the other eight major forces to frown deeply.

This Yunxiao Sect, deciding alone?

Yet, because of Su Guochang’s formidable strength, they dared not voice their opinions, only silently complaining in their hearts.

"Elder? Really wait for twelve hours?" Elder Duan Song from the Fierce Battle Sect raised an eyebrow as he looked towards True Person Sheep and the Vajra Bull Demon.

The people of the Qianyuan Cave Heaven also turned towards True Person Bai Miao and True Person Huang Shan.

"Forget it, let them live just another twelve hours," said Vajra Bull Demon with a grin, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "I would actually like to see the expression on their faces when the hope they are clinging to is effortlessly crushed by us."

True Person Sheep stroked his goatee and also smiled.

They had come with absolute confidence.

No matter how Emperor Immortal Sect struggled, it appeared to them as mere death throes.

They were doomed to die.

"What does our fellow Daoist from Qianyuan Cave Heaven think?" Zhan Shanbao turned to look at True Person Bai Miao and True Person Huang Shan.

True Person Bai Miao was as cold as ever, remaining silent.

True Person Huang Shan indifferently said: "The War Demon Inheritance shall be shared between my Qianyuan Cave Heaven and the Fierce Battle Sect, with Yunxiao Sect withdrawing."

These words immediately caused Zhan Shanbao’s expression to darken, but he knew that if he did not relent, Qianyuan Cave Heaven might not agree.

Zhan Shanbao nodded slightly and said: "Agreed."

This left many powerhouses from the nine major forces silently speechless.

Those senior figures were perhaps a bit too confident, discussing the spoils of war before even breaking through the Emperor Immortal Sect?

However, this perhaps demonstrated the absolute confidence of the senior figures.

And this brought them a lot of reassurance.

Honestly, after repeated setbacks in their attacks, they had even started to feel that the battle might turn into a prolonged war of attrition.

But seeing such confidence in the six ancestors from the three major forces, they were put at ease.

They would just wait for twelve hours.

After twelve hours, all six ancestors would act together to breach Emperor Immortal Sect, and then they would follow and storm in.

"Those guys have agreed..." Zhou Zihuang slightly narrowed his eyes.

"They had no choice, after all, we have Wen Shiyu in our hands," Hua Yunzhang said with some instability in his breathing.

"Thanks to you, Elder Hua," Zhou Zihuang respectfully saluted.

"Thanks my foot, you had all this planned out, and these two almost messed it up," Li Kuangtu retorted ruthlessly.

"You!" Hua Tianqiong’s complexion turned ugly.

However, Hua Yunzhang was not the least bit angry; instead, he curiously asked, "The ’young master’ you mentioned... which one is it?"
