Chapter 97
The cloud carriage transformed into a cloud and silently flew towards Mangkang Mountain. Upon entering Mangkang Mountain, the white cloud descended. Deep within Mangkang Mountain, the cloud carriage could no longer fly and had to traverse the mountain from the ground.
Brilliant Cloud Sect? Ive never heard of them. When they mentioned an upper-third-grade Immortal Sect, it should just be a third-grade Immortal Sect, roughly equivalent to the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Holy Maidens voice echoed from the flying boat.
Does the Heavenly Demon Sect have Nascent Soul stage cultivators? Li Su inquired a question that might touch upon the Heavenly Demon Sects secrets.
The Holy Maiden shook her head, saying, I dont know.
Dont know?
The Heavenly Demon Sect is very unique. I dont know how many people they have or how many powerful cultivators they possess. Ill explain why in the future, the Holy Maiden clarified.
Li Su didnt press further. He would wait until the Heavenly Demon Seal was lifted to inquire further.
The flying boat continued towards the defensive line of the Flying Immortal Sect. When Li Su arrived there, a massive battle was already underway. Many disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect had retreated to a safe distance.
In the sky, the Sect Master engaged in a fierce battle with a black serpent stretching hundreds of meters. This serpent was exceptionally formidable, relentlessly attacking the Sect Master with astonishing speed, even soaring into the sky. The Sect Master found herself continuously forced to retreat.
This serpent? Its incredibly powerful! Li Su remarked.
It appears to be an Ink-Eyed Black Serpent, a variant of the Black Dragon. Observe its eyes. Do you see any white in them? the Holy Maiden explained, displaying her knowledge of demonic beasts. Li Su didnt recognize many demonic beasts due to his limited experience hunting them for treasures or cultivation.
Ink-Eyed Black Serpent! Li Su examined it closely and indeed found no white in its eyes.
As they conversed, the flying boat approached the retreating disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect.
Elder Li, this serpent is incredibly strong. Even the Sect Master cant handle it. We have no choice but to retreat, Elder Huang reported.
The Sect Master, currently at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, struggled to contend with the serpent. Her Flying Immortal Sword continued to attack, but it seemed unable to harm the creature, which displayed unexpectedly formidable defenses.
It is important to note that swords are renowned for their sharpness. Li Su had even crafted four supreme-grade Flying Immortal Swords within the Flying Immortal Sword he made for the Sect Master. Of course, Li Sus Flying Immortal Sword leaned more towards flexibility, which was intrinsic to its nature. It was known for its speed and precision.
However, even so, supreme-grade Flying Immortal Swords were extraordinarily sharp. This serpent had withstood numerous attacks without any damage. Just how powerful was it? Could this creature be the cause of the beast tide?
Of course, the Sect Master had not yet resorted to her secret techniques. She likely aimed to better understand the serpent through continued combat before unleashing her full power. Otherwise, she would be disadvantaged if her secret techniques proved ineffective after activation.
You all should retreat! Li Su instructed Elder Huang before quickly setting up a suitable sword formation. Dealing with this creature necessitated the use of the Dayan Sword Formation.
In the distance, the Sect Master spotted Li Su. She didnt require Li Su to elucidate. She already grasped his plan. At this juncture, the Sect Master and Li Su possessed a deep comprehension of each others intentions. The Sect Master engaged in battle while retreating, leading the serpent in a circular path.
The serpent appeared to have fixated on the Sect Master and spewed venom, concentrating its assaults on her. Li Su promptly established the formation, and the Holy Maiden observed with interest. It was this arrangement that had defeated her previously. Without this formation, even with the Purple Twilight Divine Thunder, Li Su might have only managed to severely harm her without capturing her. If she couldnt secure victory, couldnt she escape?
If utilized outside the formation, the Purple Twilight Divine Thunder could have caused less serious injuries if she could maintain some distance. The timing of deploying such treasures was critical, and while Li Su might have been proficient in its use and inflicted severe injuries, what didnt happen was uncertain. The likelihood of the Holy Maiden escaping was much higher. Li Su promptly established the formation, sparing no expense with spirit stones. Your master is struggling. This serpent is unusual. It possesses an elemental magnetic force, which means that your masters attacks will be weakened when they get close. Breaking through its defense is challenging. The Holy Maidens voice reverberated, and Li Su glanced at her before taking action.
The next moment, surprise appeared on the Holy Maidens countenance. It was because Li Su had loosened her restraintsnot permanently, but temporarily. Saintess, here is your bell and magic needle. Give it another ten minutes, Li Su returned her artifacts to her. Do you trust me that much? Arent you afraid Ill escape? Now that Ive regained my cultivation, albeit at a cost, I might be able to overcome these restrictions completely, the Holy Maiden remarked, gazing at Li Su. You wont flee, Li Su smiled. So confident? the Holy Maiden arched an eyebrow. Of course, you couldnt bear to leave me! Li Su winked. The Holy Maiden emitted a soft snort, activated her powers, and soared towards the Sect Master. Her injuries mostly healed, thanks to Li Sus aid.
Nevertheless, even with the restrictions lifted, she still needed time to recover her strength fully. Shortly, the Holy Maiden arrived at a location not far from the Sect Master. The Sect Master grew vigilant upon seeing her approach but didnt respond in any other manner.
