Chapter 314: Where Is the Sect Master, Why Is the Sect Master Gone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An unfriendly bunch!
Pei An and the others frowned. They had a menacing gaze.
‘A group of twenty cultivators taking a trip and just so happen to like this mountain?’
‘Who are they trying to fool?’
He said, “Excuse me. The mountain already has an owner. Please ditch this unrealistic idea, look for another place.”
The middle-aged man sneered, “If someone owned it, we shall chase them away. You all are standing here, perhaps you want to stop me?”
Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, “I suppose you are here for a different reason.”
“Move aside and it will be none of your business. Prepare to die if you don’t give way!”
They were here for a different reason and their intention was obvious.
They were commanded to investigate the place.
The mountain had a hidden expert. They did not know who or had any clues. So, they used a lousy but reasonable excuse to own the place and find out more information from there on.
They had a complete plan in their minds. They planned to execute it when they got to the mountaintop. It was going to be easy until they were stopped at the bottom of the mountain.
Pei An already guessed what they were going to do. He said in a low voice, “Let me give you all a piece of advice, it’s never too late to go back! Don’t die as a messenger!”
It did not matter whether they were able to fight them. He would not allow them to pass. He would not let them disturb the expert at all.
“We’re here and we don’t want to fight. But do you think that a few Real Immortals and Tian Immortals can stop all of us?”
The leader spoke. He slowly stepped forward to be closer to everyone. He had a nice voice, slightly coarse. He might be old but he had a powerful aura. It made him extraordinary.
He advised them, “Move! Don’t be stubborn.”
He was a Golden Immortal!
Pei An and the others did not look at all. They did not budge.
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck fast like a snake. It moved in an instant and struck in front of Pei An.
The lightning was too fast with no signs. It was too sudden. No one had time to react.
The elder seemed friendly but he was ready to attack. He could kill someone if he did not like what they were saying!
Pei An was the best amongst the others. He was an Intermediate Real Immortal. If he was out of the picture, the others could easily be destroyed. He would strike him first because it would be easier to do so.
Everyone was alarmed. Pei An felt his hair stood on end. He knew he was not able to dodge it in time.
Buzz!
It was a close shot. Static was in the air.
The lightning disappeared like it hit an invisible wall. It shot back without hitting anything.
“Too bad!’ sighed the elder.
The electricity swirled in the air and returned to his side. It was a lighting dagger. Electricity swirled around it, it was a powerful lightning weapon. It was an Ultimate Lightning Spiritual Treasure.
That attack should be unavoidable with his distance but he missed. It was indeed too bad.
Pei An sighed in relief. He patted his chest and stepped back.
He was angry from embarrassment. “Low blow!”
He was distressed from shock as he almost died before he could have cold sweat.
Everyone noticed that the Fallen Immortal Mountain stopped the lightning bolt.
Pei An was standing at the edge of the mountain and dodged the attack.
The elder arched his eyebrow. “Spell?”
Pei An and the others relaxed. They were excited because they knew the expert was behind that.
Gu Xirou said, “I know you came to the mountain for the expert. But let me warn you, put your greedy little thoughts aside. Otherwise, you would die!”
“Ha, you think you can stop me with a small spell pattern?”
The elder looked down on them, slowly walked to the bottom of the mountain, and lifted his hand.
There was a shield in front of him. It did not attack him. He placed his hand on it and felt its resistance. He could not go further than that.
The elder immediately laughed. “I thought it was something special. This is just a soft defense spell.”
He flapped his sleeves. “What a coincidence. My Lightning Dagger is best at breaking defense spells!”
He lifted his arm and out came the Lightning Dagger. It levitated in front of him and became three big daggers as he cast a spell.
Thunder and lightning were on the daggers. It was as if there were thousands of birds shrieking. It was deafening. Their ears hurt.
“This Mountain Defense Spell looks easy to break. It seems like the owner of the mountain is easy to defeat too. Let me break it!”
The elder held the Lightning Dagger. Lightning flew to the sky like long slithering snakes. It became an intertwined blue lightning bolt.
Then, it struck the Defense Spell…
Boom—
The cultivators of the Cloud Tribe Sect stood behind him. They were ready to cheer. They heard a huge boom, then they saw the elder ‘swoosh’ away like a bouncy ball. The elder flew by their heads, creating a beautiful curved line.
Then, they heard ‘plop’.
‘This…’
Everyone instantly went stiff.
The squared-faced middle-aged man hurriedly ran over. “Sect Master, are you alright?”
“I’m alright.” The elder shrugged it off and got up from the ground. He looked calm like nothing happened, “The spell is so sneaky. It looks like a soft Defense Spell on the surface. I didn’t expect it to have counter-attack properties. It snuck up on me.”
He did not look happy when he saw Pei An and the others cheering and laughing. He sneered. ‘Just you wait!’
He cast a spell and the Lightning Dagger levitated above him. It enlarged again. It became a Lightning Longsword. Strong electricity ran through the sword. The electricity was as huge as a tree.
It was not over yet.
The elder lifted his arm again with his face calm as ever. “Lightning Spell!”
Kaboom!
There were no clouds on sight but thick blue lightning struck down and swirled around the elder. He looked like the Thunder Man.
Split splat!
The cultivators of the Cloud Tribe Sect backed up. Bolts of lightning slithered around him like silver snakes. It looks very harmful.
“The spell will be broken after this attack! Not only that but the mountaintop will also be flattened!”
The elder looked at Pei An and the others. He smiled menacingly. “You’ll only be considered skillful if you can survive this!”
Then, he grabbed the Lightning Dagger that was as big as a small tree with both of his hands. Lightning powers flowed through him and he attacked the Fallen Immortal Mountain!
Everyone widened their eyes without blinking. They were worried that they would miss out on the exciting sight.
That was the strongest attack of the Golden Immortal while using the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure and the Lightning Spell. Very few attacks were as strong as that in the Above Immortal Realm. It was horrifyingly powerful!
‘Almost. Almost…”
Pei An and the others also felt their hearts racing as they held their breaths.
“Break!” roared the elder like he was lifting a small mountain.
He stared dead at the shield with menacing wide eyes.
Suddenly, the Defense Spell changed. It flickered with lightning. A figure of the Lightning Dragon appeared and swirled around.
The elder had a twisted facial expression, it was as if he saw something unbelievable. He was hopelessly petrified. “Oh—”
It was too late.
Kaboom—
They heard an explosion.
Everyone was blinded by the lights, their ears were ringing and numb.
They saw an ocean of lightning. Endless bolts of lightning jumped and crackled. They could not open their eyes by how bright it was.
They could not see anything apart from the endless lightning.
“Sect Master…is so powerful!”
“I’ve never seen the Sect Master attack this hard before. He probably improved.”
“Seems like they pissed off the Sect Master. That’s why he’s so ruthless.”
The disciples of the Cloud Tribe Sect discussed. They looked like they were in awe.
The strong light faded away. Everyone hurried over to take a look…
The mountain was still the mountain. The flowers and grass did not change one bit. Pei An and the others still quietly stood there. It was as if nothing happened.
‘How… How could this be?’
‘Oh yeah, where’s the Sect Master?’
‘Is the Sect Master missing?’
“Sect Master! Are you here?”
Clang!
A big dagger fell to the ground.
The dagger was bent and damaged. It lost its light but they could still tell it was the Lightning Dagger.
