Chapter 264 The Decisive Battle of the Immortal Sects: Xiao Yao Completely Resolves the Crisis
The disciple's words came to an abrupt halt, like a rooster crowing with its neck being choked.
"We've discovered...we've discovered traces of a hidden force! They...they're heading straight for the Immortal Sect!"
A chill instantly swept through the entire council hall.
My heart sank, and I clenched my fists tightly.
coming!
finally come!
I forced myself to calm down, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Pass down the order: all disciples, enter a state of high alert and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Although my voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority and echoed in the council hall.
No one dared to delay and immediately sprang into action, the tense atmosphere spreading like a spider web.
I closed my eyes, and all the information I had gathered about the hidden forces flashed through my mind: their techniques, common tricks, and potential weaknesses...
My fingertips tapped lightly on the table, once, twice, three times...
Each strike seemed to resonate deeply within everyone's hearts.
"Mingyue, you are in charge of guiding public opinion, stabilizing people's hearts, and preventing rumors from spreading." I opened my eyes, my gaze sharp, and my tone firm.
"Ziyun, lead the disciples to strengthen patrols and ensure the safety of the Immortal Sect." My gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Elder Xuan. "Elder, please take charge and coordinate the overall situation."
Everyone obeyed and left, leaving only Elder Xuan and me in the council hall.
He looked at me, his eyes full of admiration: "Yao'er, you've really grown up."
I smiled slightly and remained silent. I knew the real test had only just begun.
Soon after, sounds of fighting came from outside the mountain gate.
I pushed open the doors of the council hall and saw a dark mass of people surging toward the Immortal Gate.
They were dressed in black, wore ferocious masks, and brandished various weapons, exuding a suffocating murderous aura.
I leaped into the air, hovering there, and coldly observed this group of uninvited guests.
My spiritual power surged, my robes fluttered, and I was like a celestial maiden descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"Who goes there, daring to trespass on the sacred grounds of my immortal sect!" My voice resounded through the sky like thunder.
The leader let out a chilling laugh: "Xiao Yao, we meet again." He slowly removed his mask, revealing a familiar face.
My pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged in my heart.
It turned out to be him!
"Lingfeng! You actually betrayed the immortal sect!"
Ling Feng sneered, "Betrayal? I simply chose a path that suits me better."
I smiled dismissively: "You? A longsword gleaming with cold light appeared in my hand. "If you want my secret, let's see if you have the ability!"
With a flash of sword light, I transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards Lingfeng.
The two powerful forces collided with each other, making a deafening roar.
The surrounding trees trembled violently, and cracks appeared in the ground.
Lingfeng's strength far exceeded my expectations, and I gradually felt overwhelmed. He pressed forward relentlessly.
I gritted my teeth, enduring the pain in my body, and searched for his weakness.
Just then, Lingfeng suddenly revealed a strange smile and whispered, "Xiao Yao, you've been tricked!"
My heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.
I turned around abruptly, and there I saw...
A sense of despair flashed through my mind, my body ached as if on fire, and sweat streamed down my face.
Lingfeng's voice coiled around my ear like a venomous snake: "Xiao Yao, you've been tricked!" His smile looked particularly sinister to me, and in that instant, I felt as if I saw the shadow of death.
The enemy pressed forward relentlessly, each strike carrying deadly intent.
I gritted my teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and tried my best to find a weakness in Lingfeng's defenses.
The pressure from all around was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on me tightly.
My arms ached terribly, and every swing of the sword felt like it was exhausting all my strength.
Just then, Lingfeng suddenly stopped, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Xiao Yao, your strength is nothing special." He slowly raised the longsword in his hand, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
At this critical moment of life and death, an unprecedented sense of determination welled up in my heart.
I know I cannot fail this time; the immortal sect cannot be destroyed because of me.
My gaze locked onto Lingfeng.
Suddenly, a warm current surged through my heart, as if a new force had been injected into my body.
My spiritual power erupted instantly, surging out like a volcanic eruption.
I brandished my longsword, and a dazzling light gathered at its tip.
"Lingfeng, you underestimate me!" My voice was filled with unwavering determination as I raised my longsword high and chanted an ancient incantation.
Instantly, I was enveloped in a dazzling light curtain, and countless rays of light burst forth from the tip of my sword, transforming into a giant light sword that slashed down.
Lingfeng was startled by this sudden change. He hurriedly swung his sword to defend himself, but the huge sword of light was like a divine weapon descending from the sky, easily breaking through his defenses and sending him flying.
Everyone was stunned by this scene, and for a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Only I know in my heart that this is just the beginning, and a greater crisis is yet to come.
I slowly landed on the ground, gazing resolutely into the distance, and softly uttered a sentence: "This is my true strength."
While everyone was still reeling from this sudden turn of events, Lingfeng scrambled to his feet, his eyes flashing with anger and resentment.
He glanced at the horrified disciples around him, a cold smile playing on his lips, and slowly raised the sword in his hand: "Xiao Yao, your tricks are not enough to make me admit defeat!" The sword light was like a rainbow, and the long sword in my hand seemed to have come to life, crushing the hidden experts one by one with overwhelming force.
Their terrified eyes and their panicked fleeing figures were reflected in my eyes, like rats running away in disarray.
I pursued them relentlessly, and wherever I went, the enemy was routed.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, but I showed no sign of stopping. The rage in my heart burned like a raging fire, driving me ever forward.
Finally, I arrived at the lair of the hidden forces—a dark and damp cave.
The cave was filled with a nauseating stench. I held my breath and carefully moved forward.
Deep inside the cave, a figure dressed in black robes stood with his back to me, emanating a powerful aura that sent chills down my spine.
"Who are you?" I shouted sternly.
The man in black robes slowly turned around, revealing an old and sinister face.
He gave a sinister smile: "Xiao Yao, you've finally arrived."
"It's you! You're the mastermind!" I was shocked, and a surge of anger welled up inside me.
"That's right, it was me." The man in black robes laughed triumphantly. "I orchestrated all of this. I will make the entire immortal sect pay for my son's death!"
His words struck me like a thunderclap.
So, it was all for revenge!
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
“Your son brought this upon himself, yet you want to implicate the innocent. You are truly unforgivable!” I rebuked.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain; it's always been this way," the man in black sneered. "Today, I'll make you taste the pain of losing a loved one!"
He had barely finished speaking when he launched a fierce attack on me.
I dared not be negligent and immediately drew my sword to meet the challenge.
In an instant, sword light flashed and a strong wind howled inside the cave.
After a fierce battle, I finally subdued the man in black.
I took him back to the Immortal Sect and exposed his conspiracy in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and condemned the despicable act of the man in black robes.
The man in black robes was despised by everyone, while I became a hero of the immortal sect.
I stood in the center of the Fairy Gate Square, receiving cheers and praise from the crowd.
Elder Xuan walked up to me, patted my shoulder, and said with admiration in his eyes, "Yao'er, you did very well."
I smiled slightly, my heart filled with pride and joy.
Just then, I saw Ziyun running towards me...
Ziyun rushed over and hugged me tightly, so tightly that she almost broke my ribs.
"Xiao Yao, you're amazing! You saved the immortal sect!" Her excited voice rang in my ears, and I felt her warm tears soaking my shoulder, a warm feeling welling up in my heart.
I gently patted her back, hugged her back, and felt this sincere friendship.
The cheers and praises from the disciples around me surged like a tide, and I felt dizzy, yet incredibly clear-headed.
This honor belongs to me, and also to all my fellow disciples who fought alongside me.
In the square, the sunlight cast a golden glow, illuminating everyone's face.
I looked around and saw familiar faces, their eyes shining with joy and admiration.
Elder Xuan walked up to me and solemnly handed me a jade slip.
"Xiao Yao, you turned the tide and saved the Immortal Sect from danger. The Immortal Sect has decided to nominate you to represent us in the Immortal Alliance."
I took the jade slip; it was icy cold to the touch, yet felt incredibly heavy.
The Immortal Alliance, which brings together talented disciples from various immortal sects, is a grand event in the cultivation world.
I am keenly aware of the importance of this alliance and understand the responsibilities I bear.
I took a deep breath and solemnly nodded to Elder Xuan and the others, "I will certainly live up to the expectations of the Immortal Sect!"
Back in my room, I sat cross-legged, closed my eyes, and began to regulate my breathing.
The moonlight streamed through the window and fell on me, like a thin layer of silver gauze.
As I felt the flow of spiritual energy within my body, my heart gradually calmed down.
For me, forming an alliance with immortals is both an opportunity and a challenge.
I know that I am about to face even stronger opponents and more brutal competition.
The next morning, I bid farewell to Elder Xuan and my fellow disciples and embarked on the road to the Immortal Alliance.
The mountain road was rugged and shrouded in mist. I flew on my sword, shuttling between the sea of clouds.
In the distance, the rolling mountains resemble a sleeping dragon, lying quietly on the earth.
I looked down at everything beneath my feet, my heart filled with anticipation and trepidation.
Suddenly, I felt a powerful aura lock onto me.
I looked up abruptly and saw a dark figure rapidly approaching me.
"Who goes there?" I shouted sternly.
The shadowy figure drew closer, and I finally saw his face clearly. My heart sank...
"It's you!"
