Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Raising Hands to Suppress Foundation Establishment

This group consisted of over a hundred people, all dressed in dark long robes, each exuding a powerful aura.

At the forefront was an elderly man with long hair cascading over his shoulders. He was thin and hunched, yet his presence was solid and formidable, giving off a faint sense of terrifying oppression.

Behind him, someone was holding a flag, which fluttered in the wind, bearing three golden characters embroidered on it.

Linglong Sect!

Such a grand display of sect power would naturally attract the attention of the people in Yunshui City, and behind them trailed a large crowd of onlookers.

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yan and Zhuge Feng, who were cultivating in the back mountain, came over. Upon seeing the flag, their expressions grew serious.

“The Linglong Sect, a vassal force of the Lingxiao Sect!”

Xiao Lingxi, Zhuge Feng, and Xiao Yan all changed their expressions, clearly having heard of this sect.

Only Ye Qingyao, who had just arrived, looked confused.

“Is the Linglong Sect very powerful?” Su Bai asked with a smile.

“As far as I know, the Lingxiao Sect expanded its influence by accepting several vassals, and the Linglong Sect is one of them.”

“The Linglong Sect has great power and is already included in the Immortal Alliance. They hold a very high status throughout the Great Zhao, rivaling even my family.”

“It’s said that the ancestor of the Linglong Sect has reached the Golden Core Daoist stage, though I don’t know if that’s true,” Xiao Lingxi explained slowly.

“The Linglong Sect is actually that formidable…” Xiao Yan and Zhuge Feng felt a shock in their hearts.

“My Xiao family is considered a large family in Yunshui City, with several Qi Refining cultivators, yet compared to the Linglong Sect, we’re like ants!” Xiao Yan gasped sharply.

How mighty must the Lingxiao Sect be if the Linglong Sect is already this powerful?

“Master… what should we do?” Zhuge Feng asked gravely.

“It’s nothing to worry about,” Su Bai replied dismissively.

His expression remained unchanged as he looked down the mountain, the gentle breeze stirring his robes and waist sash, creating an elegant arc.

At that moment, he resembled an otherworldly immortal, gazing down upon the world.

A group of people strode confidently into the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect, making their way up the mountain step by step.

After a moment, the elderly man at the front stopped in his tracks.

His gaze subtly lifted and landed on Xiao Lingxi beside Su Bai, revealing a hint of shadow in his eyes.

“Miss Lingxi, we’ve searched high and low for you!”

The old man spoke, his voice booming like a heavy bell, exuding an aura of authority that involuntarily instilled a sense of fear in the hearts of listeners.

A Foundation Establishment!

The presence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was overwhelming; even standing there simply gave off the sensation of a mountain weighing down upon them.

Such a super-strong practitioner, even just a trace of their oppressive aura, could easily overpower a Qi Refining cultivator.

This little hill of the Heavenly Dao Sect could likely be flattened by a single strike!

“Miss Lingxi, please accompany this old man to the Lingxiao Sect!”

The old man continued.

His words carried a commanding tone, causing Xiao Lingxi to frown, displeasure evident on her delicate features.

“What if I refuse to go?”

Su Bai took a step forward, standing in front of the disciples, and with his presence, the aura emitted by the old man instantly vanished.

The old man’s pupils constricted, and he stared intently at Su Bai. “Who are you? Do you intend to meddle in the affairs of my Linglong Sect?”

With a slight smile at the corner of his lips, Su Bai replied calmly, “I am Su Bai, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Are you going to take my disciple without my consent?”

“Heavenly Dao Sect? Su Bai?” The old man searched his mind for a long time before confirming that he had never heard of the name Su Bai.

Then, his gaze shifted to the few people behind Su Bai, and upon seeing that the Heavenly Dao Sect had only two buildings, he couldn’t help but snort.

He thought it must be some powerful sect, only to find out it was just a second-rate sect.

Thinking of this, the old man’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing in them as he said, “Yesterday, the bodies of several of my Linglong Sect disciples were found outside Yunshui City. Do you know about this?”

“Indeed, I killed them,” Su Bai admitted straightforwardly.

At these words, the crowd erupted in a stir.

These were disciples of the Linglong Sect; they were killed just like that?

The members of the Linglong Sect were instantly filled with rage, pulling out their magical weapons and drawing them threateningly toward Su Bai and his group.

The anger also appeared on the old man’s face as he shouted, “You have guts! Dare to kill someone from my Linglong Sect? Do you not fear inciting our wrath?”

“Hahaha…”

Su Bai threw his head back and laughed, his laughter bold, “What is the mere Linglong Sect to me?”Whoever provokes my Heavenly Dao Sect, don’t think that just killing a few disciples is all there is to it; even if I were to wipe it out, so what!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Wiping out the Linglong Sect was said so easily!

Such arrogance, who do you think you are?

At the foot of the mountain, a group of onlookers heard Su Bai’s words and could not help but display fascinating expressions.

Who doesn’t know the name of the Linglong Sect?

How many people know the name of the Heavenly Dao Sect…?

“The Heavenly Dao Sect… Oh, I remember now, that’s the miscellaneous sect that attacked the Lingxiao Sect disciples yesterday?”

“Unbelievable, first they slapped the Lingxiao Sect’s face, and now they’re provoking the Linglong Sect. Regardless of their strength, just this courage is enough to make a name for themselves.”

“But that’s an elder from the Linglong Sect, a great Foundation Establishment cultivator. The Heavenly Dao Sect probably won’t survive today.”

The onlookers were discussing animatedly.

“Seeking death!”

The members of the Linglong Sect were furious, wanting nothing more than to tear this arrogant guy into pieces immediately.

“Disciples, release your aura and declare to the world that my Linglong Sect is not to be trifled with!”

The old man waved his wide sleeves and shouted in a deep voice.

Boom…

In an instant, a majestic aura surged forth.

A great Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Two cultivators at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer!

Three at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer!

Five at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

There are at least thirty in the Intermediate Stage of Qi Refining above the Fourth Layer!

The rest are all Qi Refining cultivators.

Over a hundred Qi Refining cultivators’ auras burst through the clouds, stirring up the wind and rain.

Above in the sky, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Everyone felt a shiver run through their bodies, as if they were standing in an ice cellar.

“Quickly retreat, quickly retreat!”

The people watching from the foot of the mountain hurriedly withdrew several hundred meters.

With so many cultivators clashing, just being close enough to feel the aftermath could tear ordinary people apart!

Yet, in the face of so many cultivators, Su Bai remained completely at ease, showing no signs of panic.

“Attack! Flatten the Heavenly Dao Sect! Kill without mercy everyone except Xiao Lingxi!” The Foundation Establishment elder shouted aloud and was the first to take action.

Swish! Swish! Swish…

Streams of sword energy, blade flashes, palm prints, and fist strikes whistled towards them.

These attacks converged, transforming into a brilliant storm, descending like a cascade.

Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, unmoving. He simply extended a finger and flicked it toward the void.

Whoosh…

In an instant, all the attacks shattered completely.

Moreover, under the backlash of those attacks, the members of the Linglong Sect spat out blood and stumbled backward.

Then, Su Bai moved, raising one hand toward the Linglong Sect group and pressing down with it.

“Boom!”

With that press, an invisible pressure surged toward the Linglong Sect members instantly.

Crack! Crack!

The disciples of the Linglong Sect felt their bodies grow heavy, as if they were carrying a towering mountain on their backs.

Soon after, their knees suddenly buckled, and with a sound, they all dropped to their knees on the ground.

This included that Foundation Establishment elder!

He raised his hand, suppressing the Foundation Establishment!
