Chapter 523: Five Against One, Killed (2)

His guess was right.
At this moment, the Spirit, Devil Clan, and Flame Clan of the Penglai Immortal City were completely shocked. The clan’s Tribulation Transcendence was killed. No matter which era it was, it was a huge matter. This was especially true for the Spirit Race. Two of them had died in a row. Even in all these years of fighting with the humans, they had never suffered such a loss.
The Itinerant Immortal Elder looked at the Fifth Elder with a dark expression. “What’s going on!”
Fifth Elder was the one who borrowed the immortal artifact. He naturally knew the reason for this, but he was completely stunned now. This was because Ling Ju and Ling Ji had told him that the five Tribulation Transcendence experts, in addition to five immortal artifacts, and the black market had provided the exact location. They would definitely be able to capture him easily and add a powerful immortal artifact to the clan. In the end… they had all died!
These were five f*cking Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, not five Foundation Establishment cultivators!
All the Tribulation Transcendence and other Itinerant Immortals looked at Fifth Elder, waiting for his explanation. After all, it was a critical period. The deaths of two Tribulation Transcendence experts had a huge impact on the strength of their race.
The Fifth Elder took a deep breath and suppressed his rising and falling emotions. He slowly explained the ins and outs.
The Itinerant Immortal Elder stared intently at Fifth Elder and said word by word, “You mean that a human Mahayana Realm cultivator killed two of my race’s Tribulation Transcendence experts and they have two immortal artifacts?”
The mouths of the other Itinerant Immortals twitched. Did the Fifth Elder really think that they were brainless to believe such a ridiculous reason?!
The Fifth Elder’s face darkened. “The immortal artifact in the hands of that human Mahayana Realm should not know about low-grade immortal artifacts. Of course, there’s something fishy about this matter. It might be a trap set by the human Itinerant Immortals of the Penglai Immortal City!”
These words made sense.
Itinerant Immortal Elder frowned. “There’s no movement from the human Itinerant Immortals in Penglai Immortal City, nor have they left the city. Could it be that they have hidden Itinerant Immortals or newly-advanced Itinerant Immortals?”
If it was an Itinerant Immortal, he could indeed destroy Ling Ju and the others with an immortal artifact, but it was not to the extent that they could not send any news.
An Itinerant Immortal said, “The human race has always been cunning and sinister. This matter has to be investigated strictly. I heard that two of the Devil Clan’s Tribulation Transcendence experts have died. I think we can join forces to pressure the human race. If they don’t give an answer, we will kill the human race’s Tribulation Transcendences. We can’t let Ling Ju and the others die in vain!”
Other Itinerant Immortals agreed.
It was not easy to nurture a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator. Not to mention resources, just the time needed was tens of thousands of years. Once he died, it was impossible to make up for the loss in a short period of time.
The Itinerant Immortal Elder also knew that now was not the time to find anyone to take the blame. With such a huge loss, he had to settle the score with the humans.
Therefore, the Spirit, Devil Clan and Flame Clan’s Itinerant Immortals quickly joined forces and appeared in front of the Tai Hua Sect’s mountain gate.
The guard was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling immediately activated the sect’s array formation. This array formation was bestowed by the seniors who had ascended from the upper world. It could withstand the attacks of several Itinerant Immortals. It was precisely because of this that the Tai Hua Sect remained standing.
“Everyone, are you coming to my Tai Hua Sect to start a battle?” She said coldly.
The Spirit Clan’s Itinerant Immortal snorted. “Your Tai Hua Sect is really scheming. You bestowed an immortal artifact to a Mahayana Realm and used it as bait to lure our Tribulation Transcendence. Then, you let an Itinerant Immortal take action and kill our Tribulation Transcendence. How sinister!”
The Devil Clan and the Flame Clan immediately joined in the criticism and attacked Hong Ling.
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling was somewhat unable to react. What was going on? The Itinerant Immortals of their Penglai Immortal City had immortal artifacts on them. Even if she had two immortal artifacts on her, she would not generously bestow them to a Mahayana Realm expert. Even if she planned, she would bestow them to an early-stage Tribulation Transcendence expert.
“Don’t you dare slander my Tai Hua Sect!” She scolded angrily.
“Slander?! Hmph, the one who died was not your human Tribulation Transcendence. If your Tai Hua Sect doesn’t give us a satisfactory answer, don’t even think about leaving the Penglai Immortal City!”
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling seemed to have returned to her senses. She sent a voice transmission to the sect member in charge of collecting information and obtained the news of the deaths of Tribulation Transcendence of the various races.
“How is that possible? That Ling Ju is at the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcendence. Even if this Xu has an immortal artifact, it’s impossible for him to kill the Tribulation Transcendence. Moreover, there are five of them?!” Her reaction was the same as the Itinerant Immortals of the various races. She could not believe it as she looked at the Itinerant Immortal floating in front of the mountain gate and said in a deep voice, “Are you talking about Fellow Daoist Xu from the True Treasure Pavilion?”
The Spirit Clan’s Itinerant Immortal said, “That’s right. It’s this person. As a Mahayana Realm expert, it’s impossible for him to kill a Tribulation Transcendence. Therefore, it must be you cunning Itinerant Immortals!” “What a joke! My Tai Hua Sect and the Itinerant Immortals of the other sects have never taken half a step out of the city gate, so how can they secretly attack? I think this matter is purely an opportunity for you to show off. If you want to fight, let’s fight. My Tai Hua Sect is not afraid of you!” Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling said coldly.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
At that moment, a huge aura appeared in the sky in front of the mountain gate again. It was a human Itinerant Immortal from another sect. The Devil Clan’s Itinerant Immortal threatened, “We are here to seek justice and clarify the truth. If you humans insist on hiding it, don’t blame us for attacking the juniors in the future!”
The other Itinerant Immortals of the human race asked. After knowing the cause of the matter, he could not help but scold coldly, “If you want to frame someone, you have to find a reason!”
Seeing the stalemate, the Spirit Race’s Itinerant Immortal suggested, ‘We can postpone the other matters, but you have to hand over our immortal artifact!”
The Itinerant Immortals of the Devil Clan and Flame Clan reacted and nodded repeatedly. The Tribulation Transcendence in the clan had already died. There was no hurry to seek justice. The most important thing was the immortal artifact.
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling said indifferently, “If my Tai Hua Sect takes your Spirit, Devil Clan, and Flame Clan’s immortal artifacts, the sect will be destroyed in a thousand years and the legacy will be severed!”
She knew that if she did not give a reasonable reason today, the various races would definitely not let the matter rest. She could only swear first, but she was puzzled. Five Tribulation Transcendence experts had clearly gone to chase after him, but why had they died one by one?
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling swore.
The other Itinerant Immortals of the human race followed. This time, the Itinerant Immortals of the Spirit and Devil Clan did not know what to do. Although oaths were not very binding, it depended on what they were sworn on.
The Tai Hua Sect’s inheritance was the most important. The other party had sworn on this. It seemed that she had indeed not taken an immortal artifact.
“I’ll tell you what. Hand over that cultivator surnamed Xu. He definitely knows the inside story.” The Spirit Race’s Itinerant Immortal suggested again, “My Spirit Race will give you ten days. If we don’t see that Xu, you will have to bear the consequences!”
“The Devil Clan is the same.”
“Flame Clan…”
After the Itinerant Immortals of the various races left, the human Itinerant Immortals gathered in the main hall of the Tai Hua Sect.
In fact, in recent days, they had all heard of the True Treasure Pavilion and Fellow Daoist Xu, who had killed a Mahayana Realm expert of the same level. However, they did not expect the other party to actually cause such a huge commotion.
“Tsk tsk, impressive. A Mahayana Realm cultivator actually killed five Tribulation Transcendence experts!”
“This is indeed unbelievable, but there should be an expert secretly helping behind the scenes.”
“That’s right. Did everyone really not make a move?”
“Hong Ling, did Senior Yang do this?”
The Ten Tribulation Itinerant Immortal of the Penglai Immortal City was the Tai Hua Sect’s grand elder. He had been cultivating in seclusion to prepare for the eleventh tribulation.
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling shook his head. “It’s not Senior Yang. Speaking of which, this Xu fellow does have some ability. Furthermore, he’s quite arrogant. I once invited him to join my Tai Hua Sect, but he rejected me!” “Oh, there’s such a thing?”
The other Itinerant Immortals were surprised. After all, the Tai Hua Sect was the number one sect in the Western District. It would be a huge opportunity for any cultivator to be invited by an Itinerant Immortal.
“Since Fellow Daoist Hong Ling has met this Little Friend Xu once, I think we should invite him to the Penglai Immortal City and explain this matter clearly.” “That’s right. What exactly is going on? We can’t be ignorant and be slandered by the foreign races for no reason.”
“If there’s really an Itinerant Immortal behind him, it’s a good thing for us humans!”
Hong Ling smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll send a message now.” She sent a message to Daoist Gui Hai, who was still in Sword Seal City, asking him to invite Fellow Daoist Xu to the Penglai Immortal City.
Daoist Gui Hai was speechless after receiving the message. He had become a messenger in Sword Seal City, but he had no choice but to obey the orders of an Itinerant Immortal..
