Chapter 2086: Chapter 1776: Two Years Later, We Will Fight the Barbaric to the Death

Although the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable didn’t explicitly say it, all the Immortal Venerables present knew what path he was referring to.

They wanted to survive, and the only way out was to leave the Southern Domain. But it was impossible to leave the Southern Domain on their own; before they could even approach the Boundary Sea, the Blood Ancestor would crush them with a blood hand.

Their departure from the Southern Domain required finding a strong backing, either Xiyue Immortal Emperor from the Eastern Domain or the Hidden Moon Sect Leader of the barbaric Wilderness.

However, it’s somewhat challenging to seek Xiyue Immortal Emperor’s help; though Xiyue Immortal Emperor seems to have teamed up with the Wilderness, she has at most sent people to guard the Sunset Mountain Range without directly ordering her Immortal Venerables to attack the Southern Domain.

Clearly, Xiyue Immortal Emperor doesn’t want to get embroiled in this mess.

So, their only option is to seek refuge with the Wilderness and have the Hidden Moon Sect Leader take action.

But now the biggest concern among them is that the Hidden Moon Sect Leader isn’t truly an Immortal Emperor. Does he really control a Divine Corpse with the same power as an Immortal Emperor?

They worry that they might just ally with the Wilderness and be instantly crushed by the Blood Ancestor’s Thunderbolt, making it a loss not worth the gamble.

Now they seem to have no better options.

Continuing to fight means a path leading only to death, as the Blood Ancestor is clearly treating them, the Righteous Immortals, as fodder for the Evil Immortal.

Surrender may offer a glimmer of hope.

When the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable finished speaking, another Immortal Venerable said: “Alas, choosing that path isn’t easy; there’s a deity hovering three feet overhead.”

Hearing the Immortal Venerable’s words, the Immortal Venerables present once again fell into prolonged silence.

Everyone knows that allying with the Wilderness might be their only hope of survival, but they need to reach the Wilderness first. Yet, their every move might be sensed by the Blood Ancestor’s Divine Thought. Before they even set foot in the Wilderness, let alone the Southern Domain controlled by the Wilderness, they risk being dealt with by the Blood Ancestor, let alone seeking refuge.

At this moment, in the cave abode, an Immortal Venerable in a white Immortal Robe, with jet-black hair, appearing as a middle-aged man, spoke: “Actually, it’s not completely impossible.”

Upon hearing this, the others were stunned, and everyone turned their gaze to the speaker.

The speaker was Jinxiu Immortal Venerable. The Brocade Sect was not well known in the Southern Domain, as it only had Jinxiu Immortal Venerable as its sole Immortal Venerable, making it a mid-tier Immortal Sect.

The others looked at him with suspicion, thinking, what solution could he possibly offer?

Jinxiu Immortal Venerable was the weakest among the Immortal Venerables present. Even though the power of Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable was diminished, he was still stronger than Jinxiu Immortal Venerable.

Seeing the disbelief, Jinxiu Immortal Venerable cleared his throat and said, “I wonder if you still remember the disappearance of Heavenly Splendor Hall?”

His statement left the Immortal Venerables puzzled, wondering why he suddenly brought up Heavenly Splendor Hall.

But then, Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable was the first to react and immediately asked, “Do you know how Heavenly Splendor Hall vanished?”

Jinxiu Immortal Venerable replied, “Heavenly Splendor Hall didn’t disappear; it was directly teleported to the Eastern Domain.”

Hearing this, the Immortal Venerables in the cave abode fell silent again.

Directly teleported to the Eastern Domain?

How was that achieved?

If they could be directly teleported, they wouldn’t need to seek refuge with the Wilderness or worry about being eradicated by the Blood Ancestor.

The problem was that they didn’t know how to teleport across realms.

Seeing the Immortal Venerables excitedly looking at him, Jinxiu Immortal Venerable knew they were intrigued and continued, “I know a way to survive, and that’s to fight the Wilderness to the death!”

The faces of the Immortal Venerables instantly darkened. After all this anticipation, what kind of nonsense was Jinxiu Immortal Venerable talking about?

Fight the Wilderness to the death?

If they could defeat the Wilderness, they wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament.

Jinxiu Immortal Venerable ignored their reaction and continued, “It just depends on whether you are willing to trust me.”

“This is the only path. We must show the Blood Ancestor our resolve to serve Blood Eagle Hall. Only then might the Blood Ancestor personally intervene.”

At these words, a hint of anger surfaced on their faces. What nonsense was this? That treacherous creature Jinxiu Immortal Venerable was still thinking of waiting for the Blood Ancestor to intervene? How could the Blood Ancestor possibly intervene?

If he wanted to act, he would have done so already, instead of waiting until now. The Southern Domain factions were long sold out by the Blood Ancestor; they were just cultivation fodder for the Blood Ancestor.

Just as Jinxiu Immortal Venerable was about to say more, Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable suddenly spoke, “I think Jinxiu Immortal Venerable has a point. The Blood Ancestor is definitely testing us. Only if we pass the test will he act personally.”

“After all, when it came to dealing with Heavenly Splendor Hall, we held our forces back, allowing it to escape to the Southern Domain, surely angering the Blood Ancestor, which is why he’s using this to reprimand us.”

Seeing Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable say this, the Immortal Venerables momentarily struggled to respond; the Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect was wiped out, and yet Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable spoke for the Blood Ancestor?

Is this for real?

Strictly speaking, Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable should be the one who hates the Blood Ancestor the most among them, as the Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect is now lacking members. Continuing the fight, the sect’s last flicker of hope might be extinguished.

At this moment, another Immortal Venerable suddenly realized and exclaimed, “Ah, I see now! I think Jinxiu Immortal Venerable and Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable are right. We haven’t shown the Blood Ancestor our sincerity, so he naturally isn’t willing to act. Once I return, I’ll gather everyone from the Immortal Sect and engage the Wilderness in a life-or-death battle!”

Seeing a third Immortal Venerable step forward to speak for the Blood Ancestor, even the most naive Immortal Venerables realized what’s going on; they gathered today to discuss escape routes, not ways to court disaster.

The mention of Heavenly Splendor Hall was Jinxiu Immortal Venerable’s subtle hint that he knew how to teleport out of the Southern Domain.

However, under the Blood Ancestor’s Divine Thought surveillance, any unusual move on their part would arouse the Blood Ancestor’s suspicion, making teleportation out of the Southern Domain impossible.

But by boasting about a battle to the death with the Wilderness, they could press all Immortal Sects together, and once gathered, they could teleport out.

Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable then looked at Jinxiu Immortal Venerable and asked, “Jinxiu Immortal Venerable, are you sure the Blood Ancestor will indeed intervene?”

Jinxiu Immortal Venerable confidently replied, “Of course, as long as you can show the Blood Ancestor our loyalty, he will definitely intervene.”

“Once the Blood Ancestor acts, the Southern Domain’s affairs will no longer concern us.”

An Immortal Venerable declared, “Alright, I’ll head back to gather all disciples from the Immortal Sect. Two years from now, we’ll fight the Wilderness to the death!”

The Immortal Venerables in the cave abode echoed the call and returned to their respective Immortal Sects to gather all disciples and Elders.
