Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 812 Encirclement and Kill (Part 1)

“Old poisoner Wen Huang…you’re still the same as ever…” Zhao Ying made no attempt to hide the disgust in his eyes, “You’re utterly repulsive!”

"Power has no distinction between beauty and ugliness. As long as it's strong enough, it's beautiful." Wen Huang didn't care at all and just smiled.

"Where is Palace Mistress Feihong? She's the one who took the lead this time."

He looked around, seemingly searching for someone.

"No need to look anymore, I've arrived." A soft and charming female voice rang out from the darkness.

The forest trembled slightly, and a group of beautiful women in white dresses gracefully emerged, forming a line, and slowly carried out a red sedan chair from behind.

The sedan chair was lowered, the beaded curtain was opened, revealing Xu Feihong's charming and beautiful face.

"Where's Hong Jiaojiao? Didn't I tell you to come along?" She glanced at Zhao Ying and asked, as if she were annoyed.

“Sect Leader Hong said she has some things to attend to and will be late… You know… she said she has something to do… What can I say…” Zhao Ying said with a wry smile.

His attitude at this moment was much more respectful than when he was facing Wen Huang.

Even though they are all among the Six Great Masters of Yunzhou... there is a world of difference in their actual strength.

Compared to a veteran powerhouse like Xu Feihong, whether in terms of strength, connections, status, or the sect power behind him.

Even Zhao Ying with the Chongling Sword... is far inferior.

Therefore, some differences in attitude are normal.

Of course, some people may have questions.

Why did the Seven Wonders of Yunzhou become the Six Wonders? The original Seven Wonders of Yunzhou were: Compassionate Hand Master Yuanjue, Flesh Dragon Hong Jiaojiao, Thousand Hands Xu Feihong, Spirit-Piercing Sword Zhao Ying, Beast Emperor Han Yi, Yin-Yang Poison Wen Huang, and Shadow Flowing Cloud Mu Piaomiao.

It has now become one of the six wonders of Yunzhou.

Of course, Han Yi was missing.

As for the reason...

It's also very simple.

He single-handedly and head-on blasted Yan Xuanji and his two companions to death.

Such strength...

This level of cultivation...

Apart from Kaiyuan Miaozong, he can be considered the number one person in Yunzhou.

Undisputed number one.

They have pulled ahead of the other six by a significant margin.

In this situation, the so-called Six and Seven Wonders, the Three Righteous and Four Evil, etc., were things that Han Yi didn't care about at all. But even though he didn't care, he continued to incorporate them into the Seven Wonders of Yunzhou.

The other six people also felt uneasy, as if someone was pointing fingers at them from behind, making them feel like they had thorns in their backs.

"The younger generation these days... are far behind us back then..." The dull footsteps echoed from afar.

The footsteps drew closer, growing larger and larger, like a weight pressing down on your heartbeat, each step heavy and making you unconsciously clutch your chest, struggling to breathe.

Hong Jiaojiao's enormous body, resembling a humanoid behemoth, slowly emerged from the forest.

The massive, backward-dragging sword was covered with a jumble of black and red flesh and blood resembling organs, with conspicuous bloodstains clearly visible.

"The martial arts world... it's really getting worse with each generation... they can't even read the most basic social cues... I was just being polite and told you to leave... you actually left? I already said I had something to do, why did you come along to lend a hand?" She spoke gruffly, her gaze towards Zhao Ying somewhat unfriendly.

"..."

Zhao Ying was speechless for a moment and could only manage a wry smile.

Everyone knows you have trouble to deal with, so why would he want to follow you around like a puppy to help?

That's not being good at reading between the lines, that's being a fool!

Fortunately, Hong Jiaojiao only complained once and didn't say anything more, then turned her gaze to Xu Feihong.

"Just the few of you? Is Mu Piaomiao coming? She's the fastest. If she's there to back you up, I can guarantee that no one will escape."

“She’s unwilling. I don’t know what she’s worried about.” Xu Feihong shook her head. “I heard that Mu Piaomiao has some connection with the Tantai family. Maybe she’s considering that relationship, so she refused this mission.”

"What Tantai family? In Yunzhou... Yuanmiao Sect is the most respected." Hong Jiaojiao said in a low voice, her tone somewhat disdainful. "Killing someone from Yuanmiao Sect... no matter how extraordinary Han Yi's luck or how powerful he is, he will not escape his fate."

"Yes..." Xu Feihong sighed, "What a pity about Han Yi... He was originally a genius who had the potential to climb to a higher level... If it weren't for his conflict with the Yuanmiao Sect, I really wouldn't want to have made an enemy of him..."

He offended Emperor Yuanmiao and became his mortal enemy.

This was also the main reason why Han Yi was removed from the list of the Seven Masters of Yunzhou.

Emperor Yuanmiaozong was not immune to death.

There are frequent casualties at the three main peaks and the outer courtyard.

The deaths at the three main peaks were a necessary development for the Yuanmiao Sect as it expanded its territory and resources in Yunzhou, thus increasing its control over the region.

The reason people died in the outer courtyard was because the outer courtyard was the location of affiliated forces that were dependent on, surrendered to, or submitted to the Yuanmiao Sect.

The conflicts between them, the clashes arising from their interests, the deaths and injuries resulting from their actions and battles with the people below the mountain, are all normal. (The six peaks can be descended.)

The Lower Six Peaks Inner Court is responsible for the overall, high-level, and strategic management of Yunzhou, and for governing local affairs in Yunzhou.

Once an order is issued, countless personnel from other departments will naturally carry out the operation.

Therefore, it is very difficult for any casualties to occur in the inner court of the Yuanmiao Sect.

However, this time, there were casualties at the level of the head of the inner court.

And it wasn't just one person.

This signifies that the foundation of the Yuanmiao Sect has been shaken, and that its absolute control over Yunzhou has been compromised.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Especially Han Yi this time, it's unclear whether it was a coincidence or someone was pushing things along behind the scenes.

The news spread extremely quickly.

However, within just a few days, most of the forces in Yunzhou had received the news.

Many forces that had conflicts with the Yuanmiao Sect but dared not show them were now stirring up trouble.

If a seedling with a shaky foundation appears and is not suppressed in time, it can easily turn into a raging fire, attracting even greater backlash.

This is something that the true rulers of the Yuanmiao Sect within the three main peaks absolutely cannot tolerate.

This led to two Venerable-level figures quickly taking action, descending the mountain immediately to attempt to annihilate Han Yi with overwhelming force.

As for Xu Feihong and his group, they were ordered by Yuanmiao Sect and lured by the high bounty offered to eliminate the rest of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

This time, Yuanmiaozong…

They were determined to erase all traces of Han Yi in Yunzhou, uprooting him completely and leaving no one behind.

"Make an example of him to deter the rest." Zhao Ying looked at the convoy moving down the mountain and said in a low voice, "Palace Master Feihong, so next..." Since you've taken the lead this time, why don't you take charge of the next operation?

“Lead the way? No, I’m not qualified.” Xu Feihong shook her head. “Wait a little longer, there are still people who haven’t arrived.”

"You don't have the qualifications?" A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes. "Among everyone here, only your connections and status..."

"Let's wait a little longer, they should be here soon." Xu Feihong shook her head without saying a word, her gaze fixed on one spot.

Zhao Ying was puzzled, and everyone else, including him, looked over as well.

"Amitabha…..."

To everyone's surprise, in the open space that should have been filled with bloodshed, someone suddenly chanted a Buddhist prayer.

Footsteps sounded. Huang Hong, dressed in a kasaya, with kind eyes and a ruddy complexion like an infant, held a golden and jade staff.

The sudden sound of Buddhist chanting is already quite unusual.

But compared to this person's appearance, it's nothing at all.

Everyone present, except for Xu Feihong who already knew, including Hong Jiaojiao, Zhao Ying, and others, was shocked and dumbfounded.

"This...this isn't..." Someone rubbed their eyes, doubting their own eyes and questioning the meaning of life.

"No... I didn't see wrong... it is..." someone murmured, utterly incredulous, "I never thought... even..."

“Master Yuanjue… even Master Yuanjue of Shouyi Temple personally taught him… should we say that Yuanmiaozong has a lot of influence… or that Han Yi is just unlucky…” someone sighed.

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

The second most powerful force in Yunzhou, Shouyi Temple, and Master Yuanjue, who was previously the undisputed number one person in Yunzhou, have actually made a personal appearance this time.

"Master Yuanjue?" Zhao Ying's mouth gaped open, clearly surprised.

Master Yuanjue's reputation...

Throughout Yunzhou... he is known to everyone and is a household name.

Their famous deeds and so on are too numerous to count.

Let's just talk about the small-scale demonic disaster that Yunzhou experienced decades ago.

A demon spy acted as an inside agent, briefly destroying the earth vein array set up by the Yuanmiao Sect, allowing the demon army to move freely.

Thousands of miles of bare ground, hundreds of miles of floating corpses.

If it weren't for Zhong Shaotian, the leader of Jingtian Manor at the time, who brazenly destroyed the secret realm, cutting off the demon army's retreat and preventing the situation from deteriorating, something terrible could have happened.

Even so, the demon army that entered the heart of Yunzhou was a catastrophic event for ordinary forces like them.

Several major cities were overthrown almost instantly, and millions of people were displaced.

After repeated blood sacrifices, the demon army, which had formed a vast demonic domain, became unstoppable, rampaging and killing gods and Buddhas alike.

In this critical situation, Master Yuanjue stepped in.

He single-handedly held off the demon army for almost half an hour.

Only after Yuanmiaozong organized his forces and arrived in time did they manage to suppress the demonic calamity.

Even today, the remains of that day's great battle are still visible on the half-section of a stone tablet in front of the temple gate.

The two severed arms were buried beneath the stone tablet. Master Yuanjue should have broken through to a higher level long ago, but because of this incident, his cultivation was greatly damaged, and he could not make any progress for the rest of his life.

Someone once asked him if he regretted it.

Master Yuanjue smiled without saying a word, but after glancing at the stone tablet in front of the mountain gate, he spoke slowly.
