Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Step on Lingxiao!

How long has it been since a Nascent Soul expert was killed in the Empire? A hundred years? Two hundred years? Or even a thousand years? It has been so long that it seems hard to remember. A Nascent Soul lives for a thousand years, and the oldest Nascent Soul expert in the Empire is the Previous Sect Master of Yuntian Sect, who is currently in seclusion, having reached the limit of his lifespan. In another year or two, if he cannot break through and exit his closed-door training, he will perish.

The next oldest Nascent Soul is the Great Zhao Emperor, who has already passed nine hundred fifty years and is nearing the end of his life. If the royal family does not have a second Nascent Soul to take his place, they will soon vanish into the dust of history. Following him are the two Nascent Soul Ancestors of Lingxiao Sect, both of whom are over eight hundred years old. These rulers of the Empire became Nascent Souls over five hundred years ago!

In the last five hundred years, there has been only one Nascent Soul-level expert achieved in the Empire, and that is the current Sect Master of Yuntian Sect, Yun Zhi, the youngest Nascent Soul in the Empire today. Of course, this record will soon be held by Lingxiao. This means that across the entire Empire, Nascent Soul-level Ancestors appear only a few times in a millennium, making them extremely powerful and rare.

Well, there is an exception: Su Bai. In a thousand years, apart from those who naturally passed away, there has never been a Nascent Soul killed by someone else! Even when the Lingxiao Sect and Yuntian Sect fought fiercely a hundred years ago for the position of the Empire’s strongest, there was no scene of a Nascent Soul falling! Nascent Soul experts, in the eyes of everyone in the Empire, are the pillars of power for dominating forces.

It can support a superpower for a thousand years! As long as the Nascent Soul Ancestor does not die, other sects will not dare to offend too much. This is because it is incredibly difficult to kill such a powerful being; their vitality is robust, and they were once the pride of the heavens, possessing top-notch survival abilities.

Thus, everyone in the Empire has grown accustomed to viewing the Nascent Soul Ancestors as invincible, and it is understood that one should not take them too lightly unless in a life-or-death situation. However, the appearance of Su Bai not only shattered this convention but actually led to the death of a Nascent Soul expert! The myth of the invincibility of the Nascent Soul was completely broken at this moment!

The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect stared blankly at the shattered Life Token, and after a long while, he muttered, “Has my Junior Brother really fallen…?” He felt unwilling, angry, and resentful, with a myriad of negative emotions flooding his heart!

The Nascent Soul! The pillar of their sect! His left and right arms! The indispensable combat strength for the Lingxiao Sect to dominate the Empire! His figure swayed unsteadily, and he turned to look; all the Elders and disciples behind him wore distressed expressions. At this point, everyone understood that the tide had turned; the Lingxiao Sect was finished!

The Heavenly Dao Sect, apart from Su Bai and the Fire Qilin, at least had another Nascent Soul! Otherwise, it could not explain why the Nascent Soul Supreme Elder of Lingxiao Sect would fall at the hands of the Heavenly Dao Sect!

“Come here!” The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect shouted fiercely, extending his hand to seize a pale-faced youth who was hiding behind the Floating Island.

“Great Ancestor, spare my life!” the youth exclaimed in fright, quickly begging for mercy.

This person was none other than Zhao Baoxiao, the one who had insisted that Xiao Lingxi become his concubine.

“It’s all because of you, you damn bastard, that the Lingxiao Sect has ended up like this!” His eyes turned blood-red as he gritted his teeth and abruptly tightened his grip around Zhao Baoxiao’s neck.

If it weren’t for Zhao Baoxiao’s repeated conflicts with the Heavenly Dao Sect, how could the Lingxiao Sect have been brought to such a state? If the Heavenly Dao Sect were not robbing from the Yuntian Sect and the royal family, how could they have solely targeted the Lingxiao Sect?

“Father, save me!” Zhao Baoxiao struggled, looking at Lingxiao with terror in his eyes.

Upon hearing this title, everyone from the Lingxiao Sect widened their eyes in shock. It was common knowledge that Lingxiao had only one disciple, and that was Zhao Baoxiao. Yet now, Zhao Baoxiao was not calling him Master but Father?

Wasn’t it said that Lingxiao’s heart was devoted solely to the sword path, never having touched a woman in his life? Where could this son possibly have come from?

At this moment, all eyes turned to Lingxiao, their expressions filled with confusion. No wonder Lingxiao had such favoritism towards Zhao Baoxiao, raising him into a complete prodigal!

Facing Zhao Baoxiao’s plea for help, Lingxiao didn’t even glance at him; his gaze was firmly fixed on Su Bai.

“I, Lingxiao Sect, have lost a thousand years of foundation because of you!” The Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Sect, unable to contain his fury, exerted some strength and immediately snapped Zhao Baoxiao’s entire neck.

Then, the Old Ancestor turned his gaze towards the Spirit Spring, his eyes filled with desire, greed, hatred, anger, and helplessness…

However, upon meeting Su Bai’s cold gaze, all these emotions had to be suppressed.

“All Elders and disciples of Lingxiao Sect, retreat!”

“Yes, Old Ancestor!”

The many Elders of the Lingxiao Sect let out a sigh of relief and flew away, retreating along with the Floating Island. They were terrified by Su Bai, fearing that the Old Ancestor might order them to fight to the death. Now that a retreat was called for, they were moving as quickly as possible!

“Su Bai, one day, the Lingxiao Sect will return!” The Old Ancestor of the Lingxiao Sect took a deep breath, his eyes filled with strong reluctance and indignation, but ultimately could only choose to flee.

Su Bai responded with a faint smile, “If you cut the grass without removing the roots, it will grow back when spring comes.” He turned his gaze towards the disciples on the Flying Boat and waved his sleeve.

“Disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, listen up: flatten the Lingxiao Sect!”

“Yes, sir!”

Zhuge Feng nodded upon hearing this, piloting the Flying Boat in pursuit of the direction in which the Lingxiao Sect members were retreating.

“I never expected that one day we could chase the Lingxiao Sect to such a degree!”

“Just half a year ago, I was expelled from the Lingxiao Sect, thinking I was hopeless in cultivating immortality. Now it feels like a dream!”

“In the past, even a mere errand boy from the Lingxiao Sect could bully us at will, and now we can chase after them!”

“Haha, flatten Lingxiao and charge into the Heavenly Palace!”

“Hold on, my friend, the Heavenly Palace is the top of the Immortal Alliance, and saying we’ll charge in is premature. Let’s crush Lingxiao first!”

Excited and elated voices erupted within the Flying Boat, with everyone ready to spring into action!

“Little Fire, go assist.” Su Bai looked at the Fire Qilin and instructed. Chase after the Lingxiao Sect; relying solely on the Flying Boat wasn’t enough, as they needed Nascent Soul-level combat power.

“Okay~”

The Fire Qilin responded with excitement, instantly transforming into a red beam of light and giving chase. Fighting was its favorite pastime!

“Master Yun, Old Monster Zhao, hold them off! One day, the Lingxiao Sect will definitely come to express our gratitude!”

Seeing the pursuers close in, the Old Ancestor of the Lingxiao Sect grew anxious and sought help from the Yuntian Sect and the Great Zhao Royal Family.

However, neither Yun Zhi nor the Great Zhao Emperor were moved at that moment. For over a hundred years, both their powers had been bullied by the Lingxiao Sect, and it was impossible for them to assist their enemy now.
