Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Thirty-Two Silver Every Month, What Are We Fighting For?

In the sky, a dark group of people flew in.

Their robes were adorned with a stone-like pattern, and each of them emanated a menacing aura.

Especially the group in the very front, they required no flying swords or other spirit tools for flight, instead treading the air with an imposing demeanor in every movement!

The sky was obscured by dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, while a fierce wind howled by, causing the trees to rustle.

“Oh my god, what’s happening? Why has the sky suddenly turned so dark? Is it going to strike someone with lightning?”

“Hiss… that flag… it’s the people from the Linglong Sect!”

“My goodness, they’re flying in mid-air! Those are all Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”

“Over a dozen Foundation Establishment, the Linglong Sect is deploying their full force!”

“Can the Heavenly Dao Sect hold up against this?”

“What a terrifying presence…”

Everyone looked up at the sky, their faces pale with fear, trembling all over, and they knelt down.

“Hmm? Is this the Heavenly Dao Sect? The concentration of Spiritual Energy is so rich!”

At the front of the Linglong Sect’s team, Linglong Xuan narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings.

The Spiritual Energy here was several times more abundant than that of their Linglong Sect; if they cultivated here, they would achieve results with half the effort.

“The richness of this Spiritual Energy is extraordinary; this place must be nourished by a Spirit Vein underground!”

Beside Linglong Xuan stood an elder whose gaze was sharp as a knife, surveying the surroundings with a fiery light in his eyes.

A Spirit Vein!

This is definitely an unimaginable treasure!

Upon hearing this, Linglong Xuan’s eyes also lit up, greedily fixating on the Heavenly Dao Sect’s mountain.

“Hahaha…!”

Linglong Xuan couldn’t help but let out a howl toward the sky!

“Heaven is aiding me!”

If he could seize the Spirit Vein here, his strength would undoubtedly surge, and he would even have a great chance of breaking through to the Golden Core Daoist realm!

Once in the Golden Core Realm, he would truly be among the top powerhouses of the Continent!

Even in the Great Zhao Imperial Palace, he would be revered as a Daoist!

Even among the Immortal Alliance Top 500 sects like the Lingxiao Sect and Yuntian Sect, he would be treated as an honored guest!

“A Spirit Vein?”

“It’s enough to support the strong foundation of a major sect!”

“If the Yellow Springs Sect had this Spirit Vein, their rise would be just around the corner!”

Behind the Linglong Sect, the powerful figures from various sects within a radius of several hundred miles fixed their bright eyes on the Heavenly Dao Sect’s mountain.

A Spirit Vein, this thing is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

“I want that Spirit Vein to belong to me!”

The Sect Master of Linglong Sect, Linglong Xuan, had a flash of cold light in his eyes as he whispered.

“Heavenly Dao Sect Master, come out and face me!”

In the next moment, he bellowed with a voice like thunder, deafening and piercing through layers of fog, resonating throughout the entire world!

“Linglong Sect, Linglong Xuan has arrived!”

“Still not rolling out to meet me?”

Once the voice fell, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, causing countless ordinary people to have their eardrums thundering, with blood flowing from their seven orifices!

This is the power of the peak of Foundation Establishment!

With a snap of the fingers, a large city could be annihilated!

At the sound of this furious roar, everyone’s expressions changed drastically as they frantically fled into the distance.

“Master, that person is incredibly powerful!”

Xiao Yan swallowed, fear evident in his voice.

Such might was beyond even the strongest in Yunshui City!

“Linglong Xuan, Sect Master of Linglong Sect, at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, has a fearsome reputation within the empire.”

Xiao Lingxi spoke, her elegant brows slightly furrowed, clearly recognizing Linglong Xuan.

“Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment? Doesn’t that mean he’s just one step away from reaching the Golden Core Daoist realm?” Zhuge Feng was also taken aback.

“Hehe, it seems like just one step away, but that step is as wide as a chasm!”

“To take that step requires immense hardship and peril; many have perished in history while trying to cross it. Linglong Xuan does not have the qualification yet!” Xiao Lingxi shook her head.

“Master, are we confident?” Zhuge Feng asked seriously.

Su Bai smiled faintly and slowly stepped forward, speaking softly.

“Just a bunch of ants, how could they possibly pose a threat to me?!”

As soon as the words fell, Su Bai suddenly flashed and appeared in mid-air, standing before Linglong Xuan.

“You are the Sect Master Su Bai of the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

Linglong Xuan let out a light sniff as he looked at the figure in a white robe so close before him.

Floating in the air, he was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, which indeed showed some strength!

But, it was only a bit of strength!

If one were to say he was a Golden Core, Linglong Xuan absolutely wouldn’t believe it!

He understood best how difficult it was to break into the Golden Core realm; the figure in front of him was so young—how long had he been cultivating?

“That’s right, this seat doesn’t change its name or surname; I am Su Bai.”

“Sect Master of Linglong Sect, what do you want with me?”

Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as he looked at Linglong Xuan and asked lightly.

“Hmph, pretending to be ignorant, did you not kill the elders and disciples of my Linglong Sect?!”

Linglong Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on Su Bai as he spoke in a chilling tone.

“Killed them? I did! What’s the problem?”

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, casting a casual glance at Linglong Xuan, clearly unconcerned.

“Good! Good! Good!”

“Su Bai, since you admit it, then today, everyone in your Heavenly Dao Sect must die!”

“I will use the fate of your Heavenly Dao Sect to declare to the world that my Linglong Sect is not to be trifled with!”

Linglong Xuan was furious to the point of laughing.

“All elders and disciples, listen up! Completely slaughter everyone from the Heavenly Dao Sect, leaving only Xiao Lingxi, as specified by the Lingxiao Sect!”

As soon as Linglong Xuan finished speaking, the members of the Linglong Sect shouted in unison.

“Yes!!”

In an instant, many elders and disciples from the Linglong Sect brought forth their magical instruments.

The aura of the Linglong Sect members surged explosively, various forces erupting, causing the spiritual energy in the entire area to boil.

Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a faint smile.

If the sect had not upgraded, his invincible range would only extend for two miles, and he wouldn’t have been able to encompass everyone.

But now it was different!

His invincible range extended to ten miles!

Not only the ground but also including the sky!

At that moment, everyone from the Linglong Sect was within ten miles!

“I once said, those who offend my Heavenly Dao Sect shall be killed without mercy!”

“You all, stay back; if you take one more step forward, you will die!”

Su Bai’s gaze was icy, and his indifferent words resonated throughout the heavens and the earth!

As soon as his voice fell, everyone in the Linglong Sect froze.

What’s happening?

Our Linglong Sect has mobilized nearly a thousand people, and there are also over a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders; how dare you be so brazen?

The members of the Linglong Sect were taken aback, but then a trace of mockery and scorn appeared on their faces.

They completely disregarded Su Bai!

“You little beast, it’s as easy as turning over my hand for the Linglong Sect to wipe you out!”

Linglong Xuan said with a smirk, his voice filled with malice.

“Since you refuse to drink the fine wine and instead opt for the punishment wine, don’t blame this Sect Master for being ruthless!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders and disciples of the Linglong Sect advanced collectively, pressing forward.

“Ah!”

Seeing everyone coming to kill him, Su Bai sighed softly.

“Thirty taels of silver for a month; what’s the point of risking my life?”
