Chapter 1360: Chapter 1359: Netherworld Sect, Shadow Tri-Elders

“Does Bright Moon City have a teleportation array leading directly to the Lotus Pond Secluded Path?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Do you know what the Lotus Pond Secluded Path is?” Bright Moon Fairy asked with a strange expression.

“It’s merely a Green Lotus,” replied Sage Zixia.

“It indeed is a Green Lotus, but it mutated, and within the lotus, a world of its own exists.

The Heavenly Fire Family lives within the lotus,” Bright Moon Fairy nodded and said.

“It’s said that within the lotus, the Heavenly Fire Family reigns supreme.

Once we enter there, it will be difficult to predict the outcome.”

“You lack confidence in your own strength,” Sage Zixia stated.

“Just dealing with the Heavenly Fire Family is fine, but I’m afraid the Holy Court might be lying in wait as well,” Bright Moon Fairy shook her head in reply.

“Let’s deal with it when we’re there; things have already become difficult to settle,” Xu Zimei said.

If the Heavenly Fire Family is sensible, then everything will be easier to discuss.

If they insist on blocking my path, then I’ll have to crush their family.

……

A distant city sits on the plains.

Bright Moon City is not a particularly large city, and even the martial artists here are not considered strong.

Bright Moon City leans against the mountains, and people work from sunrise to sunset, leading a peaceful and stable life.

Because the city is under the protection of a Great Saint, almost no one dares to cause trouble here.

However, Bright Moon Fairy rarely reveals herself, and among the city’s residents, those who have truly seen her are very few.

When the trio arrived beneath Bright Moon City, the face of Bright Moon Fairy suddenly turned livid.

Because the city had been sealed off.

Conspicuous white seals were affixed to the heavy city gates, causing panic among the city’s inhabitants.

The three exchanged glances, and Bright Moon Fairy voluntarily said, “I am injured and can’t take action now.

This time, I owe you both a favor.”

Xu Zimei and the other did not speak, and Sage Zixia stepped forward, kicking open the gates of Bright Moon City.

With a “boom,” the gates trembled and split apart forcefully.

The gates led directly to the main street of Bright Moon City.

However, at this moment, the streets were deserted, and the atmosphere felt particularly eerie.

“Who dares come to my Bright Moon City? Reveal yourself,” Bright Moon Fairy shouted.

As her voice fell, they saw a few servants carrying a sedan chair approaching from a distance.

On the sedan chair sat a man dressed in black robes.

The man seemed to have just woken up, stretching lazily.

“Fairy, I thought you wouldn’t return for at least another month,” the man said with a smile.

“This is unexpected.”

“Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect, Fu Dongyue,” said Bright Moon Fairy, frowning at the man.

“Didn’t expect the Fairy to still remember my name, what an honor,” Fu Dongyue said with a grin.

“What do you mean by this?” Bright Moon Fairy asked coldly.

“Don’t blame me, Fairy. The Holy Court issued a decree. You oppose the Holy Court, and I’m forced to act,” Fu Dongyue smiled.

Bright Moon Fairy’s heart chilled. The Holy Court acted swiftly.

They had just escaped, and the warrant was already clear about their details and had begun to act.

“I don’t recall when your Netherworld Sect became the Holy Court’s lackey,” Bright Moon Fairy replied.

“Fairy, those words are harsh. The Holy Court is the foremost power in the world.

We have a decree; we are merely subordinates, and we dare not disobey,” Fu Dongyue chuckled.

“I see you’ve had your eyes on my Bright Moon City for a long time,” Bright Moon Fairy said.

When she established Bright Moon City back then, she had used Supreme Divine Power to refine a spiritual land, moving it beneath Bright Moon City.

This place had been crafted into a treasured land that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth.

The Netherworld Sect’s headquarters were near Bright Moon City, and they had always coveted it.

But the Netherworld Sect’s ancestor, the Netherworld God, was merely a newcomer to the realm of Great Saints and was not her match.

After suffering repeated setbacks at her hands, they had gone into hiding.

To her surprise, once the Holy Court issued orders and she was gravely injured, they acted like mad dogs, biting ferociously.

……

“I was too lenient. I should have annihilated your Netherworld Sect long ago,” Bright Moon Fairy snorted coldly.

But perhaps due to her emotional turmoil, the internal bruising counterattacked, trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Fu Dongyue felt emboldened.

The Holy Court hadn’t deceived him; Bright Moon Fairy’s injuries were severe and couldn’t be delayed.

“Fairy, it’s not too late to destroy us now,” Fu Dongyue laughed heartily.

“We’re practically offering ourselves.”

“You…,” Bright Moon Fairy’s eyes gave off a cold killing intent.

“Take them down,” Fu Dongyue waved his right hand, tired of pleasantries.

From within the city, dozens of armored soldiers appeared.

“Netherworld Army,” Bright Moon Fairy said softly.

“These soldiers are generally not strong individually, but they’ve trained in a battle formation.

Their armor is also crafted from high-grade materials.”

“Against someone of the same level, it might be useful, but to me, they’re still nothing but ants,” Sage Zixia said calmly.

He stretched out his right hand, powerful forces gathering in his palm.

The leader of the soldiers seemed to sense the impending crisis and shouted, “Form the battle array.”

Dozens of soldiers quickly spread out, each performing rapid seals, countless marks converging, and powerful momentum roared across the firmament.

“Heaven-suppressing Battle Array,” shouted the leading soldier.

“Ants dare speak of suppressing heaven?” Sage Zixia scoffed.

The force in his hand descended like a tidal wave, and the soldiers were so shocked they couldn’t even dodge.

The collision of forces exploded, and all soldiers were obliterated to dust.

Witnessing this, even Fu Dongyue nearly stood up from the sedan chair.

His eyes thoughtful, contemplating unknown ideas.

“Who are you?” Fu Dongyue asked, looking at Sage Zixia.

“You’re not even worthy of knowing my name,” Sage Zixia snorted coldly.

“Tri-Elders, I want his head,” Fu Dongyue called out to the void beside him.

The once-calm void was torn apart by skeletal-like hands.

Three figures with overwhelming aura slowly emerged.

“It’s the Shadow Tri-Elders, known for their triple-combination assassination technique,” Bright Moon Fairy said.

Having fought against the Netherworld Sect for so long, she naturally knew their details inside out.

“Fu Dongyue, let your ancestor, the Netherworld God, come out. Others are not qualified to fight him.”

Bright Moon Fairy spoke lightly.

Her words weren’t wrong; though the Shadow Tri-Elders were formidable,

Sage Zixia was still a Holy King.

One could say he could annihilate them with a mere gesture.

“Whether they’re qualified, we’ll know after the battle,” Fu Dongyue replied.

The Shadow Tri-Elders approached Sage Zixia step by step, their pace swift, transforming into three shadowy figures in an instant.
