Chapter 291 - 291 291 The Battle Begins

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Battle Begins Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Battle Begins Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The battle between the Nangong family and the Fenglan Sect was today.

At this moment, Nangong Lie was leading the Nangong family’s powerhouses to the Fenglan Sect with great momentum and formidable aura.

The lineup of the Nangong family was terrifying, frightening countless cultivators in Jiuzhou as they traversed the area.

Powerhouses from various forces throughout Jiuzhou were following the Nangong family’s troops from a distance.

Chu Changkong and other powerhouses from the auction were also on their way to the Fenglan Sect.

The Sect Master of the Xiehun Sect, the high ranks of Xiewang Sect, and the senior members of the Xiao family were all rushing to the Fenglan Sect as well.

How could they miss out on the battle between the two titans of Jiuzhou?

Given the overwhelming momentum of the Nangong family, they seemed confident in their victory over the Fenglan Sect.

Meanwhile, the Fenglan Sect had long been prepared for battle; all their powerhouses and disciples had been called back.

As the great battle was about to erupt, Feng Wuchen was still furiously cultivating in Divine Valley.

“Reporting to the Sect Master, the Nangong family has arrived!” A disciple hurried over and reported respectfully.

“Prepare for battle!” Leng Wuya commanded coldly, his figure soaring into the sky.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The protectors and elders of the Fenglan Sect, eleven Tianyuan Realm powerhouses, swiftly appeared in the sky, their overwhelming aura spreading out.

The surrounding mountains near the Fenglan Sect had already gathered quite a number of Jiuzhou powerhouses.

“This battle is likely to result in mutual destruction; the Nangong family is very powerful, but the Fenglan Sect is not weak,” said one.

“The Family Head of the Nangong family is too reckless, not even sure whether Nangong Jin was killed by Feng Wuchen or if it’s related to Leng Qingfeng, yet he hastily starts a war. Doesn’t he understand the consequences of a major battle?” another questioned.

“With the Nangong family and the Fenglan Sect at war, they’re bound to be severely weakened, and other major forces may take advantage of this opportunity,” another surmised.

Onlookers expressed their opinions, but none had any intention of intervening; they were merely there to watch the battle.

Hidden in the shadows, a man dressed in black mysteriously appeared—he was Beiming Kong!

How could Beiming Kong be absent from the battle between the Nangong family and the Fenglan Sect?

With a slight smirk, Beiming Kong sneered, “The vaguer the news, the less the Nangong family will believe it. Even if they knew the truth, it’s already too late to stop.”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

In the high sky, sounds of tearing through the air echoed as black shadows shot towards them rapidly; within a few flashes, they arrived above the palace of the Fenglan Sect.

The arrivals were none other than Nangong Lie and the Tianyuan Realm powerhouses of the Nangong family—no fewer than fifteen people!

Fifteen Tianyuan Realm powerhouses, what a horrifying assembly!

The Yuandan Realm powerhouses of the Nangong family were also hurrying over.

“Murong Tian!” Leng Qingfeng’s icy gaze was fixedly staring at Murong Tian.

“Leng Qingfeng! Come and face your doom!” Nangong Yuwen roared, his fury erupting the instant he saw Leng Qingfeng.

“Buzz buzz!”

The terrifying power of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer erupted from Nangong Yuwen, shaking the void. He flashed forward, targeting Leng Qingfeng as the first to charge in the attack.

“Nangong Jin wasn’t killed by me!” With a cold stare at the charging Nangong Yuwen, Leng Qingfeng declared sharply.

“You killed someone and still dare not admit it?” Murong Tian said with disdain.

“Stop your sophistry!” Nangong Yuwen roared, refusing to believe Leng Qingfeng.

Nangong Yuwen’s speed was horrific, and in a blink, he lashed out with a fierce palm strike towards Leng Qingfeng.

Leng Wuya’s expression was icy, but he did not intervene, nor did the protectors and elders.

They knew that Leng Qingfeng alone was more than enough.

“Boom!”

“Buzz buzz!”

Leng Qingfeng stirred up his True Yuan without fear, meeting the attack with a palm. With a thunderous boom, their powerful forces collided furiously, with a tornado-like Qi Force sweeping out.

The two clashed fiercely and were evenly matched!

“Elder Yuwen, you are not necessarily my match! If you want revenge for Nangong Jin, you’ve got the wrong person!” Leng Qingfeng said coldly, confident in his own strength.

“Shut up!” Nangong Yuwen bellowed, his face twisted in a hideous rage, quickly unleashing a ferocious offensive.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Buzz buzz!”

The moment they met, the two engaged in intense combat, clashing with all their might as the terrifying energy caused ripples that expanded into energy rings, causing the void to continuously shake.

Leng Wuya’s gaze stayed on Murong Tian, completely unconcerned for Leng Qingfeng’s safety.

“Murong Tian, what benefit is there for you in doing this?” Leng Wuya asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, Murong Tian shrugged and sneered, “Sect Master Leng, I don’t know what you’re talking about. What’s wrong with what I’m doing? Killing someone to pay a life debt is only natural and just.”

“What I am referring to is Beiming Kong!” Leng Wuya exclaimed. “You collude with Beiming Kong in the shadows, sowing discord. What exactly are you trying to achieve?”

“Beiming Kong?” Nangong Lie and the others were astonished.

“What is Sect Master Leng saying? Is Beiming Kong still alive?”

“How is that possible! Beiming Kong was surely killed by Feng Wuchen; how could he still be alive?”

“I must be hearing things. Did Sect Master Leng seriously say that Beiming Kong is still alive?”

The strong from all directions who were watching the battle couldn’t believe Beiming Kong was still alive; it was like a deceitful ghost story.

“Colluding with Beiming Kong?” Murong Tian looked utterly astonished, glancing at Leng Wuya as if he were an idiot, Murong Tian scoffed, “Sect Master Leng, are you out of your mind? Beiming Kong was killed by Feng Wuchen long ago.”

“Murong Tian! You’re lying!” Leng Qingfeng, engaged fiercely in battle, yelled furiously, “Despicable wretch!”

“Xiao Xiao wasn’t there during the battle with Feng Wuchen. The one who snatched the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was Beiming Kong, and it was Ling Xiaoxiao who killed Nangong Jin, not related to Xiao Xiao at all! With the Qiankun Tower in your hands, it proves you’ve conspired with Beiming Kong in secret!” Leng Wuya roared angrily, his old face dark and ominous.

Murong Tian outright denied it, sneering, “If you can prove Beiming Kong is still alive, I have nothing to say. However, as the Sect Master of Fenglan Sect, spouting such nonsense here is a complete disgrace to your title.”

“Leng Wuya, stop babbling nonsense and start fighting. Let this old man see how much your strength has increased over the years!” Nangong Lie then roared fiercely, his extremely terrifying aura beginning to explode.

Nangong Lie’s figure slowly ascended into the sky, the True Yuan within him accelerating, finally erupting like a volcano, terrifying and filled with earth-shattering power.

“Hmph!” Leng Wuya snorted angrily, shooting up into the sky, his mighty aura surging, with the horrifying power of True Yuan bursting out with wild force.

The horrific energy from two Tianyuan Realm Sixth Layer powerhouses filled the watching countless experts with horror.

“Profound Grade high-level martial skill! Souleater Tianyun Palm!”

With a snort of rage, Leng Wuya concentrated fearsome True Yuan energy on his palm and the moment he shot up into the sky, slammed his palm viciously toward Nangong Lie.

“Your strength has indeed improved a lot. But this old man’s power won’t lose to you!” Nangong Lie, undaunted, countered with an equally powerful palm strike.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The terrifying collision of energies caused an earth-shattering explosion, forcing the onlookers to cover their ears as their eardrums buzzed.

The battle of Tianyuan Realm Sixth Layer powerhouses was enough to truly rend the heavens and destroy the earth.

Meanwhile, the massive army of the Nangong Clan had already reached the foot of Fenglan Sect’s mountain and was charging directly at it.

With the Nangong Clan going all out, the number of people neared twenty thousand, and their lineup was extremely terrifying.

“Attack! Destroy Fenglan Sect!” Nangong Tianhen shouted loudly, taking the lead in charging at the Fenglan Sect protectors.

“Kill!” A Fenglan Sect protector shouted coldly, his fierce gaze also fixed on Nangong Tianhen, showing no fear whatsoever.

Nangong Tianhen’s strength was by no means inferior to Beiming River’s, extremely formidable, with half a foot already stepping into the Tianyuan Realm Sixth Layer.

The strength of the Fenglan Sect protectors was no weaker either. The brutal fight that unfolded between the two was undoubtedly exciting and fierce!

Tianyuan Realm powerhouses began to wield their True Yuan and engage in battle, each finding an opponent to clash with.

However, the Tianyuan Realm powerhouses from the Nangong Clan outnumbered those from the Fenglan Sect by three.

Although it was only three people, it was enough.

Murong Tian hadn’t made a move, but his icy gaze was fixed on the weaker Tianyuan Realm powerhouses of the Fenglan Sect.

“Killing a few of your Tianyuan Realm fighters will ensure the demise of Fenglan Sect!” Murong Tian said with a sadistic sneer, his cold murderous aura undisguised.

Yet, Murong Tian oddly did not take action, as though he was solely there to watch the battle.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Over twenty thousand disciples of Fenglan Sect started shouting, their momentum sweeping over like a torrential tide.

The powerhouses of the Nangong Clan had already breached the sect’s gates.

The great battle was on the verge of erupting!

A deadly struggle between the two behemoths would surely result in heavy casualties.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

As the battle erupted, the field of conflict was completely engulfed by explosive sounds and tremors, with wave after wave of horrific energy ceaselessly expanding.

Disciples of Fenglan Sect, clanspeople of the Nangong Clan, casualties were vast.

In just a few minutes, the Fenglan Sect plaza was littered with corpses, a river of blood flowing, a sight too horrific to endure.

At this rate of casualties, it wouldn’t be long before both the Nangong Clan and Fenglan Sect were severely weakened.

“Glug…”

The countless cultivators watching the battle all wore faces filled with horror.

A war between two giants of Jiuzhou, the destructive power, and the extent of devastation were beyond imagination.

On the mountaintop, the Shen Dan Master shook his head, sighing, “This battle will surely debilitate them greatly.”

“Is Beiming Kong still alive? Sect Master Leng shouldn’t lie, but it seems impossible. Beiming Kong is dead; how could he be resurrected?” Chu Changkong said gravely.

“It’s no longer important now; the great battle has already begun,” Zhao Yuncheng shook his head.

Once a great battle breaks out, it won’t end until both sides are greatly damaged.

Whether Beiming Kong is alive or not, truly is no longer important.

“Sect Master, this is a perfect opportunity for our Xiewang Sect to dominate Jiuzhou. A battle between the Nangong Clan and Fenglan Sect is bound to leave both severely damaged,” a elder said with a cold sneer.

“Beiming Kong and Murong Tian instigated these two major forces into battle, and they will naturally gain benefits from it. We mustn’t underestimate those two young ones!” the Grand Elder said somberly.

“We’ll watch and wait,” the Sect Master of Xiehun Sect said seriously. “Sanhun of Fenglan Sect has yet to appear, and the great young master of the Nangong Clan, Nangong Yuwen, has not shown himself either. This person is extremely mysterious, as the top genius of the Nangong Clan, his strength might be no less formidable than that of Leng Qingfeng. We shouldn’t act rashly.”

From the serious expression on the Xiehun Sect Master’s face, it was apparent that he was highly wary of Sanhun, and he was also very cautious of the great young master of the Nangong Clan.
