Immortals Step into Heaven

Several days later, Zheng Yuan wandered the island alone, searching desperately for any trace of his presence. His steps never faltered. Deep in a dense forest, the silence was so hushed that only the sound of his own breathing and the rustling of his footsteps could be heard. Just as Zheng Yuan was about to rest, the sounds of a loud fight pierced the silence like an arrow, echoing from afar.

Zheng Yuan's face was slightly startled, and he became alert in an instant. He wondered in his heart, who on this island is fighting so fiercely?

He tiptoed towards the source of the sound, glancing around vigilantly.

Two groups of people were facing each other in an open space. Shui Changyun's expression was icy, his eyes revealing ruthlessness and greed. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and with a hint of disdain, he shouted loudly, "You Danqing Sect better hand over that thousand-year-old elixir, otherwise you may not be able to leave this Danqing Sect secret realm alive!" Behind him, four people stood. Shui Yinyin was graceful but looked arrogant. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes frivolous. There were two other disciples of the Tianshui Sect. One of them was a middle-aged man with a stern face and eyes full of ridicule and disdain. His eyebrows were slightly raised, as if mocking the other's presumption. There was also a thin young man, thin but revealing a cunning, his eyes rolling around, observing the movements around him.

Shui Yinyin raised her head slightly and said softly, "We are all from the righteous sect. If you are smart enough, hand over the elixir, and we won't make things difficult for you." Although her tone was gentle, it carried an unquestionable pressure, and a fake smile was on her face.

Zhang Xueyue's eyebrows shot up, her eyes wide, and she angrily shouted, "Shui, stop saying one thing and doing another. This thousand-year-old elixir was something we worked so hard to obtain. Are we going to give it to you for free just because of a word from you? What's the difference between what you're doing and robbery? Stop pretending to be so righteous. Come and rob me if you have the guts!" She spoke sharply, staring at him fearlessly, her cheeks puffed slightly with anger.

Shui Yinyin's face flushed crimson after being confronted by Zhang Xueyue. She uttered "you!" several times, her lips trembling slightly. She was speechless for a moment, so she tossed her robe and turned away, still a hint of anger in her eyes.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man from the Tianshui Sect sneered, a cruel expression on his face. "Junior Sister, I think they're refusing to accept my offer. I think we should just kill all four of them. That way, we'll get the prize." His voice was low and sinister, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

Xu Wen, Liu Pingping, and Tang Shishan's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this. They exchanged glances, each seeing worry and determination in the other's eyes. Xu Wen stepped forward, glaring. "Aren't you afraid that if word gets out about your Tianshui Sect's actions, you'll be scorned by the other sects?"

Shui Changyun laughed heartily. Spits? As long as he gets this thousand-year-old elixir and improves his strength, who would dare to say anything more!

Liu Pingping bit her lips and said hatefully, "Don't even think about it. We won't let you succeed even if it costs our lives."

Tang Shishan said in a deep voice: Don't be impulsive, let's see what they are going to do.

Shui Yinyin turned around again, crossed her arms, and said arrogantly, "Hmph, don't be so ungrateful. This thousand-year-old elixir is a waste of heaven's gift in your hands. It's better to hand it over obediently and get something good out of it."

Zhang Xueyue laughed in anger, wasting resources?

We in the Danqing Sect will use it to heal the wounded and the dying, and to refine the Dao of Alchemy. Unlike you, who are full of selfish desires and only want to take it for yourselves.

Shui Changyun's eyes flashed, and he took a step forward: "Don't resist any longer, hand over the elixir, or today will be the day you die.

Xu Wen did not back down and raised his magic weapon. It depends on whether you have the ability to do it. We, the disciples of Danqing Sect, are not easy to bully!

Liu Pingping also shouted, "We found this elixir after going through numerous dangers in the secret realm. Why should we give it to you? You are openly violating the principles of righteousness!"

The thin young man shouted from behind, "Hmph, in this secret realm, who cares about what is right or wrong? Only those with strength can have everything."

Tang Shishan shouted angrily, "Shut up! This is heresy. If everyone acts like this, the world will be in chaos."

Shui Changyun snorted disdainfully, "The righteous path? That's just an excuse for the weak. This thousand-year-old elixir will help my Tianshui Sect reach new heights. You can't stop my determination."

Zhang Xueyue spat and said, "You will only bring shame to the righteous path by doing this. You will get your retribution sooner or later."

Shui Yinyin urged impatiently, "Senior Brother, stop talking nonsense with them and just get to work. I can't wait to get the elixir."

Xu Wen sneered, "Want to attack? We may be outnumbered, but we're not afraid of you. This thousand-year-old elixir was earned with blood and sweat, and we won't give it away."

The middle-aged man sneered, "You guys are just a bunch of young boys, and you dare to talk tough in front of us? Don't kneel down and beg for mercy later."

Liu Pingping gritted his teeth and said, "We, the disciples of the Danqing Sect, can only die standing up, never live on our knees!" They subconsciously tightened their grip on the magic weapon in their hands, and the magic weapon trembled slightly, as if echoing the owner's nervous mood.

In the dense forest, the atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch, and a thrilling battle erupted. Shui Changyun's face was stern, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He suddenly shouted, "Since that's the case, then let's do it!" Before he finished speaking, his hands swiftly flipped, and a faint light flashed, revealing a magnificent flying sword in his palm. With a single swing, the sword, like a bolt of black lightning, whirred along with the wind as it hurtled towards Xu Wen and the others. Wherever the sword passed, the air seemed to be sliced ​​by a sharp blade, making a hissing sound.

Shui Yinyin, unwilling to be outdone, stood lithely, her hands forming hand seals while she chanted something. As the spell was completed, a crystal-clear water wall instantly formed before her, emitting a chilling cold light. Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, the water wall erupted like a surging wall, roaring down towards Zhang Xueyue. Wherever it passed, the grass and trees were bent by its powerful impact.

The middle-aged man and the thin young man from the Tianshui Sect also sprang into action. The middle-aged man, his face stern, shouted loudly, pulling a massive, top-grade magical hammer from his storage bag. The hammer, as it appeared, emanated a chilling aura, its blade faintly shimmering with runes. He raised the hammer high with both hands, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and rushed towards Tang Shishan like a cannonball. As he swung the hammer down, it seemed to pack a tremendous force, distorting the surrounding space.

The thin young man flashed forward like a ghost, and at the same time drew a dagger from his waist. Although the dagger was short, the blade shone with an eerie light, and it was obviously an extraordinary and top-grade magical weapon.
