Terran Guardian - Chapter 3826

Chapter 3802 A Premeditated Crime

Qixia Palace!

This force, once a major power in Dongming Immortal Continent, has now transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

Numerous cultivators are engaged in slaughter, with disciples of Qixia Palace falling every moment.

Just then,

a powerful aura erupted. A woman in black robes shattered the void, her bright eyes blazing with fury that seemed almost tangible.

“My Qixia Palace has never had any enmity with the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Why are you so ruthless towards my Qixia Palace!”

“Qixia Palace murdered disciples of my Taiyi Immortal Sect; the evidence is conclusive, and the entire sect should be exterminated!”

A middle-aged Daoist slowly flew through the air, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the woman in black. The instant his words fell, he launched his attack, crushing her with overwhelming force.

“Is there some misunderstanding—”

The woman in black robes’ expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

But unfortunately,

the middle-aged Daoist gave her no chance to explain.

Seeing this,

she could only grit her teeth and attack.

Although both were half-saints, the woman in black was ultimately far inferior in strength. She couldn’t withstand the middle-aged Taoist for long before her physical body was injured.

Seeing that she was no match for him, he immediately abandoned Qixia Palace and fled.

But just as the woman in black was about to leave the battlefield, the middle-aged Taoist threw out a celestial seal, shattering layers of space and ultimately striking her.

The power of this attack was like the collapse of heaven and earth, something even a half-saint could hardly withstand.

Finally—

the woman in black screamed, her body instantly shattering, a remnant soul leaving her body, attempting to escape.

But the next instant,

the middle-aged Taoist summoned an ancient umbrella, engraved with strange and unpredictable patterns. The moment the umbrella opened, it directly absorbed the woman in black’s soul, which vanished without a trace.

“Ancestor!”

The cultivators from Qixia Palace, witnessing this, were filled with grief.

The fall of the sect’s only half-saint was nothing short of a catastrophe for the cultivators of Qixia Palace.

Indeed, it was.

Faced with the onslaught of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Qixia Palace was utterly unable to withstand it.

With the last cultivator suppressed, the vast Qixia Palace fell into deathly silence. The

middle-aged Daoist stood in the void, his divine sense sweeping across the entire Qixia Palace, seemingly searching for something. He then produced a token, attempting to sense it carefully.

After a moment,

the middle-aged Daoist’s face showed regret.

“It seems he’s not here!”

The token’s lack of response meant the cultivator wasn’t in Qixia Palace.

Thinking this, he looked down at the ruins of Qixia Palace, his expression returning to its indifferent state.

“Qixia Palace has harmed the disciples of my Taiyi Immortal Sect. Today, I am ordered to annihilate Qixia Palace to avenge the blood feud of my disciples. I hope other forces will take this as a warning and refrain from making enemies of my sect!”

With that, the middle-aged Daoist took a step into the air, his figure vanishing instantly.

As the middle-aged Taoist left, the other cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Sect also gradually withdrew.

A moment later,

the other powerful figures hiding in the shadows dared to truly reveal themselves.

They looked at the Qixia Palace before them, their expressions complex.

Qixia Palace was finished!

A top-tier power ranked among the top two hundred immortal domains had been so easily annihilated by the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

One cultivator took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, “The Taiyi Immortal Sect is far too domineering!”

“…”

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators looked at him as if they had seen a terrifying being. Those who had been standing slightly closer to him now instinctively moved away, afraid of getting too close and having their blood splattered on them.

When did

the Taiyi Immortal Sect become someone who could speak so casually?

Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem, but now the Taiyi Immortal Sect had clearly slaughtered the entire Qixia Palace on a fabricated charge. If they were to truly displease them, who could guarantee they wouldn’t be the next to be wiped out? At

times like this…

They were too busy avoiding the Taiyi Immortal Sect to dare utter such disrespectful words.

The cultivator realized his mistake as soon as he spoke, and left without another word.

The other cultivators, looking at the ruins of Qixia Palace, exchanged glances and dispersed.

Everyone knew that the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s words were merely an excuse to destroy Qixia Palace.

Besides ,

even if it wasn’t an excuse

, to destroy an entire sect just because one or two disciples died was far too domineering.

But there was nothing they could do.

It was the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Such a top-tier ancient power was not one that ordinary forces could afford to offend.

Although many cultivators felt a sense of crisis upon seeing the destruction of Qixia Palace, there was nothing they could do.

Ultimately,

that’s how the cultivation world is.

Everything is based on strength.

With the strength of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it was certainly worthy of their domineering attitude.

…

Soon,

news of the destruction of Qixia Palace spread.

Every cultivator force that heard the news was secretly shocked.

Many cultivators were dissatisfied with the actions of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, but their dissatisfaction remained confined to their hearts; they dared not utter a single word openly.

In the Eastern Bright Immortal Continent, the Taiyi Immortal Sect was truly the supreme power.

Looking across the many immortal realms, only a handful of forces could truly rival the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

However, these forces would not risk a complete falling out with the Taiyi Immortal Sect over the sake of the Qixia Palace.

As for other cultivators, they could only look up to the Taiyi Immortal Sect; their dissatisfaction was futile.

“Qixia Palace!”

Inside the Cangyun Immortal Mansion, Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the Demon God’s Dao Mirror, his expression indifferent.

He was no stranger to the Qixia Palace.

This was because it was a major force in the Star Luo Immortal Realm, with a Longevity Half-Saint presiding over it, far surpassing forces like the Fuyou Holy Land.

Now, the Qixia Palace had been destroyed, and the one who carried out the attack was the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Based on the information from the Xingdao Alliance, Shen Changqing could deduce that the real reason the Taiyi Immortal Sect took action was likely because they suspected the former of having a connection with Jiuye.

After all,

according to the Xingdao Alliance,

Qixia Palace had remained inactive after accepting the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s commission.

As a result ,

not long after,

the Taiyi Immortal Sect launched an attack and completely wiped out Qixia Palace.

Such domineering methods made Shen Changqing somewhat wary.

“If the Qixuan Dao Sect doesn’t respond, it could become the next Qixia Palace at any time!”

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Fortunately,

the Qixuan Dao Sect had at least done enough on the surface, leaving the Taiyi Immortal Sect with no reason to act.

Otherwise, the next to be destroyed might very well be the Qixuan Dao Sect.

For the current Qixuan Dao Sect, the Taiyi Immortal Sect was an unshakeable behemoth.

If the latter were to truly attack, let alone one Qixuan Dao Sect, even ten or a hundred Qixuan Dao Sects wouldn’t be a match for it. At

present, everything at the Seven Profound Dao Sect is proceeding as usual, so the Taiyi Immortal Sect naturally won’t keep a close eye on it.

There are many sects in the world, and the Seven Profound Dao Sect can only be considered mediocre.

However, from this matter, Shen Changqing could see that the Taiyi Immortal Sect was probably really anxious.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted this way.

…

As it turned out,

Shen Changqing’s prediction was correct.

Not long after the destruction of Qixia Palace, the Taiyi Immortal Sect successively destroyed more than a dozen other sects.

Like Qixia Palace, these sects hadn’t taken any action after receiving the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s token, and were soon wiped out.

When this news spread, many forces sensed the crisis.

At the same time

, many forces secretly harbored resentment towards the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

However, the reputation of a top-tier sect was undeniable, and its terrifying foundation was unmatched by ordinary forces.

Therefore

, even if other forces harbored resentment, they dared not utter a word.

Meanwhile,

in the Jidu Immortal Domain, within the Nine Heavens Alliance…

In a magnificent immortal palace, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in black robes sat on a throne. His face was handsome, yet devoid of any sharpness; his brows were etched with composure, a calm renown honed over countless years. His eyes were like unfathomable abysses.

“In such a short time, fifteen sects have been annihilated, including six Longevity Realm forces and nine Immortal Emperor forces. What exactly is the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s intention?”

Mu Jiuxiao spoke slowly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

As his words fell, an elder of the Nine Heavens Alliance below bowed and said, “Reporting to the Alliance Leader, according to information obtained by our disciples, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s purpose in doing this is to find a mysterious cultivator.

Furthermore, it is rumored that this matter is related to the Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect!”

“Dao Ancestor—”

Upon hearing this name, a slight change finally appeared on Mu Jiuxiao’s usually calm face.

The other high-ranking members of the Nine Heavens Alliance also wore solemn expressions.

“The Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect? Wasn’t that person long ago silenced? Rumors circulated that he had passed away. Could this news be false?”

a cultivator couldn’t help but blurt out.

Mu Jiuxiao said calmly, “An existence like the Dao Ancestor wouldn’t simply pass away. Such an existence had already reached a terrifying realm countless ages ago.

The reason he hasn’t appeared for so many years is simply because he’s not in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However, few things in the world can attract the attention of such an existence. Now that the Dao Ancestor has made some moves, it seems that the cultivator the Taiyi Immortal Sect wants is definitely not simple!”

Mu Jiuxiao had also heard about the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s large-scale actions, but he didn’t expect that this matter would be related to the Dao Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

If that’s the case, he would have to reconsider the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s situation.

Just then…

Another elder spoke up, “Of the various forces that perished in the Taiyi Immortal Sect, three were affiliated with our Nine Heavens Alliance. Now that these three forces are destroyed, only a few cultivators remain. Some cultivators have come to the Nine Heavens Alliance, seeking our assistance.

What are the Alliance Leader’s plans regarding this matter?”

“Wait!”

Mu Jiuxiao uttered only one word.

Wait?

Hearing this, the other cultivators exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of the other’s purpose.

Mu Jiuxiao’s expression returned to its usual calm: “The time is not yet ripe. Our Nine Heavens Alliance has no need to break ties with the Taiyi Immortal Sect. We will simply wait patiently.

If the Taiyi Immortal Sect still cannot find the cultivator’s whereabouts, they may take even bigger actions.

What our Nine Heavens Alliance must do is observe the situation!” (End of Chapter)
