Chapter 886: Rejecting Southbright, Abyssal Demon Attack
Editor: Henyee Translations
Upon hearing Daolord Southbright’s words, Daolord Allheaven’s face immediately displayed a hint of annoyance.
Did Daolord Southbright truly think him a fool?
The disputes between Haoran Sect, Thunderclap Valley, and himself were well known.
Agreeing to such a request would not only compromise his standing with these sects but also affect how others viewed him.
In a moment, Daolord Allheaven had made his decision and shook his head at Nanming Daolord,
“I’m sorry, Daolord Southbright, but I’m afraid I cannot accommodate your request.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan will have specific assignments from our Pantheon Sect.
So.
I can only offer you my apologies.”
The smile on Daolord Southbright’s face froze.
He had expected Daolord Allheaven to grant him this favor, given their mutual status as Mahayana Daolords, but the outright refusal caught him off guard, leaving him feeling as if he had punched cotton.
Most crucially, neither Daolord Allheaven nor the Pantheon Sect behind him was an entity Daolord Southbright could afford to provoke.
“Indeed, it seems I was somewhat presumptuous just now,” Daolord Southbright said, trying to mask his embarrassment.
Daolord Allheaven no longer paid him any attention, instead nodding slightly towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Some time later.
The Mount Dragoncrest assembly officially concluded, and under the arrangements of Xue Ping and Yun Yizhen, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, along with the cultivators from the Pantheon Sect, headed to the Xisha Grand Canyon in the east.
Here, they were to stand guard for approximately a hundred years, after which others would take over their duties.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had no objections to this arrangement.
Especially Jiang Chengxuan.
He was almost eager for the arrival of Abyssal Demons, as it would allow him to complete the system-assigned task ahead of schedule.
At the same time.
After leaving Mount Dragoncrest, Daolord Southbright’s expression darkened significantly.
Turning his gaze toward the Xisha Grand Canyon in the east, he thought bitterly,
“A hundred years… I’m curious to see if you can withstand it.
Even if you do, once you step out of the Pantheon Sect’s territory, hmph, we’ll see how I deal with you then.”
Of course, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were unaware of Daolord Southbright’s thoughts at this time.
They, led by Gao Baiyue, were getting acquainted with many cultivators from the Pantheon Sect.
The Pantheon Sect’s Dao Inception cultivators had heard of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and knew they were no ordinary Dao Inception cultivators.
Therefore, their interactions were marked by mutual respect.
Just like that.
More than a decade passed in a blink.
During these years, their area remained relatively peaceful.
However, they learned that in other areas, dozens of battles had erupted against the Abyssal Demons.
Regarding this, be it Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or the others, they were all on high alert.
After all, they all knew that they could not be careless in the face of the abyssal demons.
Those guys, each of them had different abilities.
And it was a very strange one.
A moment’s carelessness could prove fatal, as many guardians had previously fallen prey to these demons, nearly leading to the collapse of their defended territories.
At this moment.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Gao Baiyue, and the others were discussing the inspection work.
Suddenly, the sky above darkened, causing everyone’s expressions to stiffen.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, their complexions changed drastically.
However, when they walked out of the temporary tent, they were shocked to find that they were still in the original tent.
Yes.
It was as though they had stepped from one identical tent into another, with every detail precisely the same, but without any familiar faces in sight.
Gao Baiyue and the other Pantheon Sect cultivators wore grave expressions, understanding that this was likely the work of Abyssal Demons.
They had seemingly created a space resembling an illusion, trapping them firmly within.
It had to be known that these people could be said to be the main force guarding the canyon in the east.
If they were trapped here for too long, the other cultivators outside would probably be in danger.
At that time, even if they escaped this illusory space, they would probably face an even more dangerous situation.
Therefore, no matter what, those present could not allow themselves to be led around by the enemy.
They needed to take the initiative to break the deadlock.
Buzz!
At this moment.
A Dao Inception cultivator from the Pantheon Sect named Sun Longxiang suddenly produced a flag.
As he channeled his Dharmic power into the flag, it began to emit rings of milky-white halos.
Clearly visible, the illusionary space they were trapped in started to show ripples on its surface, as if it was under tremendous stress, ready to shatter at any moment.
“We can’t break through this illusionary space with just my Overturning Seas Array Flag alone. It’s still lacking,” Sun Longxiang said, his expression grave.
Hearing his words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged looks.
Then, Shen Ruyan lightly tapped her brow.
Clang!
In the next moment, her Five Lightning Immortal Slayer flew out from her forehead.
Rumble!
Thunder roared in the skies above, and a terrifying aura directly caused the already unstable illusionary space to crack even more visibly.
Seeing this, joy appeared on everyone’s faces, knowing that just a bit more effort was needed to shatter the illusionary space trapping them.
Indeed.
Sun Longxiang and Shen Ruyan simultaneously exerted their full power on their treasures.
Rumble!
At that moment, the space could no longer hold itself together, and fragments began to scatter.
Following Shen Ruyan’s final push with the Five Lightning Immortal Slayer,
Boom.
Everything around them finally shattered, revealing the true appearance of the real world.
