Chapter 761 - 421: Unifying the Three Great Sects
Above the West Imperial City.
A giant shadow slowly appeared, covering the entire West Imperial City!
The cultivators and citizens in the city were all horrified, fleeing in all directions, rushing back to their homes to lock their doors and shutters, trembling in fear.
Then, a majestic voice descended from the sky.
"Chen Qingmo, Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, requests an audience with the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect."
The people were instantly even more alarmed.
"The Cyan Lotus Sect? Isn't that the Demon Sect?!"
"The Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian?! Didn't she die?"
"The Demon Sect Saintess is actually within our West Imperial City?"
"It's over, the West Imperial City is finished!"
Compared to the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect, the fame and deterrent power of the Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian were greater.
Countless people were terrified upon hearing this name, even thinking that the Cyan Lotus Sect was about to conquer the West Imperial City.
At this moment, in the pharmacy of the Cyan Lotus Sect, everyone was also at a loss.
Xue Wu shouted lowly: "Set up a formation, protect the Saintess!"
Qin Gengyun also stood in front of Qiu Zhihe, his muscles bulging, while others each took out their magical artifacts, ready for battle.
The aura emanating from the shadow that covered the entire West Imperial City had already surpassed the Nascent Soul Peak.
It was even stronger than the Half-Step Divinity Transformation.
Qiu Zhihe furrowed her delicate brows: "Just a hair short of Divinity Transformation, capable of achieving Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation, yet not being detected by that mysterious Power of Heaven and Earth, quite a calculation."
She looked up at the gigantic shadow in the sky and said softly: "Chen Qingmo, why didn't you give it your all at Celestial Ridge Mountain?"
Her voice was ethereal and icy, yet it pierced the sky, making it easier for the previously suffocated people in the entire West Imperial City to breathe.
"Hehe, Saintess Xia, I never intended to take your life. Today, I only came to have a talk with you."
"I wonder if Saintess Xia dares?"
Qiu Zhihe sneered: "Chen Qingmo, we can talk, but first release Su Xin and Wu Yiren."
"Hahaha!"
Laughter like thunder rumbled, shaking the entire sky.
The citizens of the West Imperial City were so frightened they turned pale, clasping their heads and crouching on the ground, thinking the sky was about to collapse.
"Chen Qingmo, what are you laughing at?"
Then, the clear and cold voice rang out again, stopping the sky from trembling.
In the city, cultivators and citizens breathed a sigh of relief, though doubt rose in their hearts.
Zhenyang Sect is the Leader of the Righteous Path, while the Demon Sect Saintess is a Great Demon who has killed countless.
But now it seems the Demon Sect Saintess is protecting the people, while the Sect Leader of Zhenyang Sect is the Great Demon threatening to crush the West Imperial City?
"Saintess Xia, Xin'Er and Yiren are both my daughters. I am reuniting with my daughters to enjoy family kinship. This is the ethical norm. Does Saintess Xia even want to interfere with this?"
Tantai Mingyue loudly said: "Chen Qingmo, Xin'Er is also my daughter. Why did you take her from me? What do you want to do to her?!"
A giant orchid flew out from Mo Xiaolan's left shoulder, shining with a sacred white light. It floated upwards, growing larger, until it reached the same height as the shadow in the sky, becoming as large as the West Imperial Dynasty.
"Is that, is that an orchid?"
"Is it the Orchid Fairy Mo Xiaolan?"
"Is this an Outer Dharma Body?!"
"Such a gigantic Dharma Body, has the Orchid Fairy also entered the Divinity Transformation?"
Mo Xiaolan's voice was clear and crisp: "Chen Qingmo, you deceived the Western Empress, not fulfilling a father's responsibilities for over ten years. Now you want to take Yiren, I'm afraid you have bad intentions. Today, I will definitely not let you take Yiren away!"
As soon as the words fell, the gigantic orchid collided with the shadow in the sky.
With a loud boom, the world trembled, and cultivators and citizens in the city exclaimed in horror.
In Qin Gengyun's hand appeared the Heaven-Reaching Staff. He shouted, and the dark iron staff flew into the air, quickly enlarging, turning into a giant pillar reaching the sky.
Violently it struck at the gigantic shadow in the sky.
Then, from Fang Xue's body flew out crabapple and lotus flowers, entwining around the giant orchid, protecting it as it continued to collide with the shadow in the sky.
At the same time, an Immortal Sword like rippling green waves swiftly flew out, piercing straight into the sky!
With Mo Xiaolan, Qin Gengyun, Fang Xue, and Wei Wan all making a move, the gigantic shadow in the sky began to shake violently.
For a moment, the earth moved, and the sky shook, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
"Enough!"
Qiu Zhihe sharply shouted, and snowflakes floated in the sky, while clusters of crimson flames rose. Snowflakes and flames collided with the sky!
Suddenly, the tremors of the world ceased.
Qin Gengyun, Mo Xiaolan, Fang Xue, and Wei Wan all let out muffled groans, their faces somewhat pale.
Only Qiu Zhihe stood still, calm and collected, and said quietly:
"Chen Qingmo, if you continue to fight, you will die here today."
"Hahaha!"
The gigantic shadow in the sky gradually disappeared, and the terrifying aura pressing down on the entire West Imperial City dissipated with it.
A poised and elegant figure stood quietly at the door of the pharmacy, clasping his hands in salute:
"Chen Qingmo greets the Saintess of the Cyan Lotus Sect."
Qiu Zhihe's figure swiftly appeared behind the pharmacy door, separated from the man outside by a single door.
"Chen Qingmo, what do you want?"
Chen Qingmo smiled and said: "Before I came, I actually wanted to kill all of you and then invite Saintess Xia to be a guest at my Zhenyang Mountain."
"Now I realize this goal seems somewhat difficult, so I changed my mind."
Qiu Zhihe said faintly: "But I want to kill you."
"Hahaha." Chen Qingmo laughed: "Saintess Xia, why pretend to be tough, you and I both know that if I want to leave, you cannot stop me."
Qiu Zhihe's eyes were cold and sharp: "You may leave, but Zhenyang Mountain won't be able to."
Chen Qingmo spoke calmly: "Not only can Zhenyang Mountain not leave, but Thunder Sword Mountain and Feiyun Mountain can't either."
Qiu Zhihe's hair danced: "What do you mean?"
Chen Qingmo said flatly: "I must thank Saintess Xia for eliminating so many experts from the Three Great Sects. Thus, I can easily consolidate the Three Great Sects."
Qiu Zhihe was astonished: "You intend to annex Thunder Sword Sect and Feiyun Sect?"
Chen Qingmo laughed: "Does Saintess Xia think I can't do it?"
Qiu Zhihe was silent.
"Saintess Xia, I have a suggestion. Let's set a period of one year. I will consolidate the Three Great Sects, and you will rebuild the Cyan Lotus Sect. Within one year, we will not interfere with each other. What do you think?"
Chen Qingmo stood upright in front of the pharmacy door, always with a smile on his face, looking like an elegant scholar.
Qiu Zhihe, dressed in a smoky gauze dress, her hair tied up and her expression cold and sharp, suddenly showed a mocking smile:
"You want to make peace?"
"Indeed." Chen Qingmo seemed not to hear the sarcasm in her voice, smiling as he said:
"Saintess Xia painstakingly designed to capture all the experts of the Three Great Sects in one net, is it not to rebuild the Cyan Lotus Sect?"
"Don't you want Nalan Yan to see a revived Cyan Lotus Sect when she returns one day?"
Qin Gengyun's heart tightened; could it be that Chen Qingmo knew about Nalan Yan's Residual Soul?
Qiu Zhihe did not speak, her expression growing colder.
"Hehe, Saintess Xia, rest assured, your master poses no threat to me, and I have no interest in her. Today, whether it be war or peace, Saintess Xia, it's your call."
Outside the pharmacy, Chen Qingmo's aura was calm, yet there was a faint murderous intent spreading, surrounding the entire pharmacy.
