Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 1505: Chapter 424: The Storm Has Arrived (Double-Length, Countdown to Finale: 27) (Part 2)

"Moreover, although the two immortals have been beheaded, I fear the sudden attack by the Four Martial Sects is not that simple," Liu Changxuan slightly furrowed his brow.

"What exactly happened?" This time, it was Color Venerate’s turn to inquire.

"Among the Four Martial Sects, the Canglan Saint Sect, Hualian Lake, and the Eternal City were led by the three sect masters, bringing a large number of strong experts from the Martial Arts Extreme Realm. They ambushed outside our three sects and set up the Sky-Sealing Earth-Locking Formation," Feather Venerate spoke with a voice full of killing intent. "This formation is unique to Tongyou Taixuan Palace."

"And the sect master of Tongyou Taixuan Palace also appeared here."

"Sky-Sealing Earth-Locking Formation?!"

Only then did Color Venerate understand why no help had come in response to their call for aid.

The formation isolated heaven and earth. Even with Lin Venerate’s eighth realm spatial expertise, breaking it would require some time.

"It seems the Four Martial Sects have already learned about the Guardian Beast Co-operation method," Miao Yunge said with a gloomy face, "How they found out is no longer important. Their attitude reveals quite a bit from this incident."

"Next, we must make arrangements promptly," she looked at everyone present, "A chaotic era is imminent."

"Our Qianling Sect will send an immortal at full speed to reach the Eastern Extreme Domain to inform the Immortal Phoenix Sect of what has happened here. I only hope this does not affect our friendship with them," Liu Changxuan sighed softly.

The space-based immortal of Qianling Sect was the fastest.

"I will send an avatar to the Endless Sea to track Lin Su’s whereabouts," Lin Venerate sighed slightly, "The original plan was for me to go, but at this moment, I am concerned the Four Martial Sects may have other actions."

The powerful members of the three sects discussed this matter briefly, and a spatial immortal swiftly dashed towards the direction of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

Lin Venerate formed an avatar which quickly vanished from the Endless Sea range, seeking Lin Su’s tracks.

The other powerful members of the three sects each returned to their sects.

What awaited them and the Four Martial Sects was the comprehensive reckoning following this incident.

A hurricane stirred by seven top-tier forces was bound to sweep across the entire Northern Divine Region.

...

"Who is it!"

A voice full of anger roared throughout the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

"Crack!"

Ji Qinghuan abruptly crushed the teacup in her hand, stood up, her face bearing uncertainty and suspicion.

It had been over a month since Lin Su left the sect for the Northern Divine Region.

During this month, it seemed that the other upper sects felt a sense of crisis and began to apply increasing pressure on the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

And the strongest of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, Banyan Venerate, was at a crucial juncture in breaking through the eighth realm and was in seclusion.

Fortunately, there was the good news of Huan Venerate’s breakthrough to the seventh realm, transforming into a Nine-Colored Phoenix.

Originally, Huan Venerate’s hidden combat power within the sect had not been exposed to the outside world, but over this month, she temporarily took over Banyan Venerate’s responsibilities, acting as the pillar resisting the external pressures, working together with Ji Qinghuan and the other immortals to successfully withstand wave after wave of pressure.

At this moment, Banyan Venerate exited seclusion.

This signified the return of the strongest force to the Immortal Phoenix Sect, which should have been good news.

But the newly awakened Banyan Venerate’s furious roar caused a hint of unease to arise in Ji Qinghuan’s heart.

Where did things go wrong?

"Banyan Venerate..." Her voice carried a tremor she hadn’t noticed herself, "What happened?"

Waves of auras rapidly appeared around Ji Qinghuan, as other immortals were also alarmed by the newly emerged and enraged Banyan Venerate.

A branch protruded from the void, faintly showing mysterious runes swirling around it, brimming with infinite strangeness and grandeur.

This was power not previously possessed by Banyan Venerate and stood as a symbol of his complete entry into the eighth realm.

However, at this moment, Banyan Venerate showed no joy over the breakthrough, "The Jade Leaf Ruyi has been triggered, Lin Su is in danger."

"What?!"

The many immortals within the Immortal Phoenix Sect exclaimed in unison.

"Little Su..."

Ji Qinghuan’s face turned deathly pale, even her lips lost all color.

The joy and relief from successfully defusing external pressures over the past month evaporated without a trace at that instant.

"What happened to him?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"I don’t know, but the transmission of the Jade Leaf Ruyi was interrupted by some external force," Banyan Venerate hesitated and then spoke slowly, "The sudden event interrupted my seclusion."

"Sect Master, don’t worry. Before leaving the sect, Lin Su left a soul lantern," Kun Venerate, remaining more composed, reminded at this moment.

The Soul Lantern!

A sudden brightness flared in Ji Qinghuan’s eyes, which had been trembling slightly.

It was as if she was filled with boundless strength as she quickly walked toward a certain secret room within the Sect Master Hall.

Though the other immortals did not follow, their senses extended alongside Ji Qinghuan’s spread.

Is Lin Su’s soul lantern still lit?

This question carried a faint oppressive air among the auras of all the immortals.

Ji Qinghuan rather roughly pushed open a door, stumbled inside, and abruptly raised her head to look at the lampstand in the secret room.

On the lampstand, two lanterns shimmered with fire.

This flame was slightly dimmer compared to normal circumstances.

But it clearly was not at the brink of extinguishing, instead, more akin to being in a state similar to unconsciousness.

Lin Su was still alive at this moment!

Ji Qinghuan let out a deep breath and was about to leave the secret room but then paused mid-step.

She turned back again, fixating on the two soul lanterns which were equally bright.

Previously, both soul lanterns were in a normal state, with equal brightness being normal.
