Chapter 1164 The Battle Intensifies

　　The scene of devastation was stunning for most people and made them pause their battles. It was simply too big of a commotion to ignore.

Even the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators who were fighting far from the battlefield sensed it. After all, their spirit senses could reach a hundred kilometers with ease, just like Lin Mu’s.

Master White Mountain’s expression darkened, and his hands trembled in rage.

”You all… shall pay…” He said in a low voice, focusing on attacking his opponent.

The Centennial Sword Ancestor on the other hand, smiled widely.

”Oh? Seems like an interesting junior… is he that infamous Lin Mu?” The Centennial Sword Ancestor muttered to himself. 

’And intermediate sword intent? That is impressive for a junior like him… why is no junior from my sect even half as good as him? Doesn’t seem like he had focused on the sword either and yet he has greater attainments in the sword Dao.’ The Centennial Sword Ancestor couldn’t help but get impressed.

He could see the power of the attack and feel the fluctuation even here. And from the explosion he sensed the intermediate sword intent that was imbued into the Metal Sword Devastator.

When Lin Mu had comprehended and used the Intermediate Sword Intent earlier, the Centennial Sword Ancestor had indeed sensed it, but had little attention to pay since he had an equal opponent in front of him.

But now, despite having the same opponent, he couldn’t ignore it and had to acknowledged.

”Seems like once this is over, I’ll have to have a word with Jia Chuanli and other juniors of the sect… their judgment has been getting worse and worse over time.” The Centennial Sword Ancestor muttered to himself. “They would have almost killed themselves if they went ahead with their original plans.”

The Centennial Sword Ancestor obviously knew about the plans of Jia Chuanli, the patriarch of the Centennial Sword Sect and the others. But he didn’t interfere in it, nor did anything, simply staying in seclusion.

As an ancestor, he wasn’t supposed to interfere in such matters after all. He had done his share of the work in the past and was now absolved of it. The only time he would act was if a huge crisis that threated the world arrived or if he felt like there was a worthy opponent for his sword.

And now both of the conditions had been fulfilled, thus there was no way he couldn’t come.

Seeing the end of a Peak Dao Treading realm expert like Elder Gunkao, who had a great chance of becoming another Immortal Ascension realm cultivator, made the centennial Sword ancestor aware that the people of his sect would stand no chance against Lin Mu.

And if they went ahead with their plans of antagonizing Lin Mu, they would most certainly end up dead; possibly before he could even react.

’Perhaps this invasion was a blessing in disguise, at least the foolishness still has a chance of being rectified.’ The Centennial Sword Ancestor reckoned.

~HONGLONG~

But while he was thinking all this, the loud ringing of a bell was heard!

”WHO DARES KILL GUNKAO!” A booming voice echoed across the mountains.

It was so loud that massive avalanches occurred across four hundred kilometer of the mountain range. The rocky faces of the mountains that had been hidden for thousands of years were revealed today due to the snow sliding off from the avalanches today.

~HUA~

The pupils of the Centennial Sword Ancestor constricted as he sensed a powerful wave of spirit Qi coming from the distance.

”So they were telling the truth… there are more of them.” The Centennial Sword Ancestor muttered to himself.

He had been informed earlier that there were three Immortal ascension realm experts among the Northern tribes as well. And as much as he trusted the information, he still hoped that it was not true.

But now that had just been proved, and the Centennial Sword Ancestor could only intensify his attacks.

”HAHAHA! YOU ALL ARE DONE! ONCE THE ANCESTRAL BELL ARRIVES, YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED!” Master White Mountain rejoiced upon hearing the loud voice.

Back at the battlefield, there was no one that had not heard the booming voice or felt the spirit Qi wave that turned their knees weak.

Lin Mu’s brows furrowed, as he knew exactly what this meant.

”Where are the ancestors of the Sky Precepts sect and the Rainbow pill sect? We need them more than ever…” Lin Mu said as he sensed another presence in addition to the one that had spoken.

That was right! Lin Mu had felt not one, but two Immortal Ascension realm presences approaching!

Patriarch You Yi’s face fell as he frantically contacted the others.

”No way… the communication jade slip doesn’t work,” Patriarch You Yi said.

”What?” Lin Mu took out his own jade slip and tried to contact others but found it useless.

The effect was similar to the jamming formations that the Northern Tribes had set before, but Lin Mu was sure that this was not due to any formations. Because if it was, he would have known well beforehand.

~HONGLONG~

The ringing of a bell was heard once again as the air thrummed along with it. Lin Mu could sense his skin tremble with the sound of the bell and knew that their worse scenario was possibly coming true.

”Be ready Lin Mu, that is definitely an Immortal Tool!” Xukong warned.

”I know senior, what do you think its effects are? There is certainly a restrictive effect from what we can see now.” Lin Mu quickly asked.

”From the initial impression, I can guess that it is an immortal tool with composite effects. It should be able to restrain and control areas. That barrier blocking the entry to the Forbidden continent was definitely made by it as well.” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu’s brows furrowed, as he knew that things were about to get really tough.

A crystal appeared in his palm and he stared at it, unable to come to a decision.
