429 Besieging the Cloud Sky Sect

Cloud Sky Sect.

The soaring flames stretched out for more than a hundred miles. In the fire, lives were lost.

Those demons who could not escape in time were all swept in by the flames and burned until they wailed everywhere. That miserable howl was still able to reach people’s ears with such a thick isolation array. It could not help but move them.

Wang Susu stood on an inconspicuous tower in the mountain range below. Wang Qiushan had been waiting beside her.

“How dare they use such vicious methods!”

Wang Susu gritted her teeth and looked at the vassals who had been burned by the fire with tears in her eyes.

These demons and some low-level humans were all assets that their Cloud Sky Sect had painstakingly managed for so many years. They did not expect that they would be burned clean by Fang North Mountain.

The reason why this matter had turned out like this was because Li Yuanqing had killed the Young Sect Master of Fang North Mountain.

The entire Fang North Mountain was filled with grief and indignation when their Young Master died tragically outside. They naturally placed this hatred on the Cloud Sky Sect.

Originally, the relationship between the two sects was not very close. Now that there was such a grudge, Fang North Mountain could not hold it in anymore. They gathered a large army and declared war on the Cloud Sky Sect.

It had to be said that very few sects in the Immortal World would engage in such a large-scale battle. Originally, the Cloud Sky Sect had already planned to compromise.

However, they could not admit defeat right away. If the other party rushed over aggressively and they raised their hands to surrender, the compensation they asked for would be exorbitant.

If they could gain the upper hand in a head-on collision, they would naturally be able to minimize their losses.

The Cloud Sky Sect relied on the advantage of the terrain and their many disciples to have a chance of winning. They were still more conservative when they fought.

However, when the two sides collided, things immediately became wrong. The strength that Fang North Mountain had displayed was more than twice that of all of them.

Fang North Mountain, who was originally not very popular, did not lose to such a powerful force. They forced the people of the Cloud Sky Sect to retreat step by step. They could not even defend the outer cordon and could only retreat to the inner sect.

This scene happened because they were defeated in the first collision. Fang North Mountain’s people set fire to the mountain and burned everyone outside who could not escape in time. There were countless old, weak, women, and children.

However, they ignored it and burned them all to ashes.

A crack appeared in the dark clouds in front of the Cloud Heaven Sect. A strong light shot out from the crack and hit a square platform.

Fang North Mountain’s Sect Master, Fang Yunlong, sat on the high platform with a dignified expression, like a true god.

“It’s Fang Tianshen.”

“Why did Fang North Mountain suddenly become so powerful?”

“They have never displayed such strength before.”

“He endured it again and again because he wanted to erupt like this today and catch us off guard. Our Cloud Sky Sect is in trouble.”

Everyone in the sect below the Cloud Sky Sect was dejected. After the defeat just now, half of them had been killed while escaping.

Such a killing scene shattered their confidence. Now, everyone only had one thought in their hearts: how to save their lives.

They had no chance of winning against such powerful strength.

Fang Yunlong coldly swept his gaze across the group of ants below and finally landed on Wang Tieyuan.

“Wang Tieyuan! I won’t make things difficult for you today. As long as you hand over your unfilial son, the hatred between our sects will be written off. I will naturally bring people back to the sect and pretend that this never happened!”

“This…”

Beside Wang Tieyuan, the elders were all intimidated by Fang Yunlong’s aura. They carefully looked at Wang Shaolin behind Wang Tieyuan.

This young master was Fang Yunlong’s goal this time.

“This Fang Yunlong has gone too far! He’s so arrogant just because he took advantage of us. How dare he make such a request? We can’t agree to such a condition no matter what!”

“That’s right. If we can even agree to such a condition, wouldn’t Fang Yunlong be riding on our heads? From now on, our Cloud Sky Sect will be useless!”

Wang Tieyuan’s armor emitted a cold light. His two gazes were aggressive as he looked straight at Fang Yunlong. The two of them did not give in to each other.

He did not understand why Fang Yunlong’s subordinates had suddenly become so powerful. Where did the additional reinforcements come from?

Moreover, those additional people were all fearless. There was no room for negotiation when fighting them. They could only fight to the death. Moreover, those fellows had to drag someone down with them even when they were about to die.

They detonated their remaining boies and were injured.

The self-destruction power of this Supreme Realm expert was naturally not to be underestimated. This was also the reason why they suffered such heavy losses the moment they came into contact.

“Dream on!” Wang Tieyuan said coldly. His voice was very loud and did not match his figure at all. “If you have the guts, come in and take my head. Otherwise, stop talking about your ridiculous conditions!”

Wang Tieyuan’s response seemed to be within Fang Yunlong’s expectations.

Fang Yunlong raised a hand noncommittally and gently placed it by the chair, silently sizing up the people below.

“Did you hear that? You’ve done your best for the sect, but your Sect Master is such a selfish person. He’s willing to let you die for his son’s life!”

“Nonsense!” Wang Tieyuan shouted coldly, “Who doesn’t know the habits of your Fang North Mountain people? If I really accede to you, won’t I still be skinned alive and have my bones broken?”

Wang Tieyuan’s words calmed down the uneasy emotions in the back.

Many people were already tempted when facing such a powerful enemy just now. Perhaps surrendering was the better plan. However, when they thought of the temper of those jackals in Fang North Mountain, they knew that they would not end up well if they really joined the enemy.

“What should we do now?”

“Why don’t we escape first? In any case, the Immortal World is so vast. There are places for us everywhere.”

“That’s right. Although the sect has raised us, there’s no need to guard the sect and live and die together.”

Wang Susu’s lips trembled slightly as she listened to the soft discussions of the guards behind her. Her eyes were even redder.

She turned around and looked at the small group of guards standing behind her. She shouted with a sobbing tone, “How can you be like this? You received such good treatment in the sect and cultivated to the Supremacy realm. Now, you’re thinking about how to escape in all directions after just a small ordeal. What kind of behavior is this?”

The guards dodged after being reprimanded by their lady. Although they had resentment in their hearts, they did not dare to say it in front of their lady.

“Miss, you should leave. It’s too dangerous here!”

Wang Qiushan glanced in Wang Tieyuan’s direction. The Sect Master had given him an order to retreat with his lady.

Wang Susu stood there stubbornly and shook off Wang Qiushan’s hand.

“Master, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll guard the door here. Don’t they want my life? If they have the ability, then let them take it. I won’t have any regrets even if I die!”

“Miss, don’t be impulsive!”

“Master, I’m not being impulsive. This is a critical moment for the sect. How can I hide alone? What has that become?”

“This is the Sect Master’s order!”

“I don’t care! Since Father isn’t willing to hand me over, I’ll die here!”

Wang Qiushan frowned and thought for a while. The situation at the front line was so urgent. If he left with her just like that, what would he be?

The hole in the sky had retracted again. A large number of dark clouds pressed down on the periphery of the Cloud Sky Sect, forming a huge cloud ring.

After their negotiation broke down, the two sides fell into a stalemate again. However, Fang North Mountain’s people were waiting for the soldiers behind them to arrive so that the Cloud Sky Sect could only guard the Great City Protection Formation.

The Cloud Sky Sect that had existed for thousands of years seemed to be destroyed just like that.

The reinforcements at the periphery were also blocked. Fang North Mountain only dared to be so reckless because he had a huge ally.

“Sect Master! There’s news. It’s the puppet technique.”

“What?”

“We captured someone that didn’t have the time to self-destruct. We discovered that it was a puppet controlled by someone. Moreover, the most serious thing is that their bodies are still human.”

“How is that possible?”

“Not only that, but there are no traces of divine sense on his body. I can confirm that it’s very likely to be the Corpse Refinement Technique!”

Wang Tieyuan’s gaze turned sharp as he hurriedly asked, “Has this matter been released?”

“I’ve already released this news to a few large sects. I wonder when they will reply.”

“There’s no hurry! Even if they want to stand by and do nothing, the Corpse Refinement Technique is clearly forbidden! No matter what, as long as we hold on, they have to come and support us.”

Wang Tieyuan seemed to have seen a chance of survival. He looked at the huge thunder clouds outside with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

“Fang Yunlong, you!”

“Pass down the order! Gather all the array masters in the sect. No matter what, we must guard the city protection array and stall for as long as possible until reinforcements arrive!”

“Yessir!”

In the luxurious palace above the clouds.

Fang Yunlong returned from outside the hall in his normal size.

On his left sat a row of people in white Daoist robes. They were Fang North Mountain’s elders.

On the right sat a row of people with flames embroidered on them. They were the leaders of the Divine Fire Sect.

Fang Yunlong walked all the way to the front and stopped in front of a middle-aged man in a purple flame Daoist robe.

“Zi Ling, how long will it take you to break his turtle shell?”

The purple-robed man closed his eyes and slowly stretched out two fingers.

“Two hours?” Fang Yunlong said unhappily. “But you’ve already delayed for so long. I still haven’t seen the so-called treasure you mentioned. If we wait for you to finish setting up, we’ll be the ones who will be surrounded in two hours.”

A smile twitched the corners of Zi Ling’s mouth, and he shook his head gently.

“Sect Master Fang, calm down.”

“Since we’ve already decided to make a move, it’s already impossible to back down. If we don’t take down this Cloud Sky Sect as soon as possible, you and I won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Zi Ling seemed to be very relaxed, as if everything was going according to plan. He smiled and stood up.

“As long as the Ultimate Fire Gathering Pill is refined, the messy array formations outside the Cloud Sky Sect will be destroyed in an instant.”

The people from the Divine Fire Sect laughed softly, as if they were not surprised by this statement at all. They were even very confident.

On the other side, Fang North Mountain’s elders all had some objections to this saying. Everyone’s performance was different.

“That’s a nice thing to say, but so many heavenly masters behind you have already spent a day and a night working together. How much longer do we have to wait?”

Zi Ling waved his hand and walked up to Fang Yunlong.

“Sect Master Fang, as the saying goes, good things come with time. Now that you’ve already won, why are you in a hurry? Moreover, it’s not time yet.”

“Since your so-called Fire Gathering Pill is really so powerful, why wait?”

“That’s wrong. In this world, everything is about the right time, place, and people. If we go against the will of the heavens, I’m afraid we might not be able to follow the hearts of the people.”

Fang Yunlong could not help but want to complain about what Supremacy Ling had said this time.

Their Divine Fire Sect had done such a thing, but now they were saying things about the right time and place.

These words were too ridiculous.

Supremacy Zi Ling seemed to have expected Fang Yunlong’s attitude. He only smiled and said with an unfathomable expression, “I know what Sect Master Fang wants to say. It’s just that our Divine Fire Sect’s actions are in line with the times, so there’s no need to care about the old rules of the world.”

Although Supremacy Zi Ling was not that strong on the surface, he was eloquent.

Their Divine Fire Sect was just a small sect before. For some reason, he suddenly had a large number of powerful and fearless puppets.

This Supremacy Zi Ling was clearly only at the peak of the Supremacy realm, but he was so confident now. He could still sit opposite such a Divine Flame Realm expert with a calm expression.

Although Fang Yunlong did not think much of this Sect Master, the strength displayed by the Divine Fire Sect now made people have no choice but to respect him.

“Then in your opinion, when can we deliver that fatal blow?”

Zi Ling walked out of the palace and looked up at the sky. The sun was slowly climbing up.

“Wait!”

“Are you really going to do it at noon?”

“Yes!”

“Alright.” Supremacy Zi Ling won’t reject other excuses.”

“Sect Master Fang, don’t worry. The sect protection array will be broken at noon.”
