Chapter 508: Incident, Action
Afterwards, after Fang Xiao identified the location of the Sword Pond Cave Heaven, he concealed his tracks again and fled towards its location at a very fast speed.
On the other side, the battle between King Zhen and Canghai could be said to have been a one-sided situation from the very beginning.
If it weren't for the many restrictions set up in Shangqing Sect, Canghai would have had the home advantage and would have followed in Cangxi's footsteps long ago.
The reason why Cangxi was able to escape his Nascent Soul when his physical body was destroyed was because of Canghai's timely rescue.
Canghai didn't think that anyone would come to rescue him. If he failed, he would be doomed to be destroyed both physically and spiritually.
"King Zhen, do you know what you are doing? Is this what the royal court wants? Aren't you afraid that what happened today will get out and be known to all parties?"
He really couldn't understand what Wang Ting was thinking. He suddenly took action against Shangqing Sect. Wasn't he afraid of causing backlash from the holy places?
“Don’t worry, Daoist Canghai. Not even a fly can escape from Shangqing Sect today. Just go on your journey with peace of mind.
I will send your disciples down to accompany you later."
King Zhen was seen holding a long purple-gold mace with dark purple lightning wrapped around it, and endless power of thunder continuously emanating from it.
The thunder was so powerful that it seemed to dominate the punishment of heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, everything was reduced to dust in an instant.
The power of this mace magic treasure is undoubtedly revealed.
Looking at the long sword in Canghai's hand, which was also a spiritual treasure, it seemed dull and had been severely damaged.
The gap between the two is just like the gap in their cultivation, which is huge.
What King Zhen just said also shocked Canghai, and he reacted immediately.
“The Beast Taming Sect was destroyed, and it turned out that Wang Ting was behind it.
Are you crazy? Do you really think you are invincible? Do you think you can hide this from other holy places?"
"How can an ant understand the ambition of a swan?
Holy Land? It's just a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs. If you dare to challenge the royal court, you will be destroyed in a snap of a finger."
King Zhen had no intention of denying the destruction of the Beast Taming Sect.
So what if Shangqing Sect knew about it? How could she let a single person live today?
The situation in the royal court is now set in stone. If the Lord of the Royal Court had not issued a strict order to act in secrecy in order not to cause unnecessary changes before the big event, King Zhen would not be afraid at all even if the news got out.
As he spoke, the purple-gold mace in his hand became more powerful, and tremendous thunder poured down like the sea.
In an instant, everything within the tens of thousands of miles of Shangqing Sect was turned into scorched earth, and the disciples who escaped slowly were turned into ashes in an instant, with both their body and soul destroyed.
After blocking this wave of attacks, Canghai was temporarily safe, but looking at his pale face, it was clear that he could not hold on for a few more rounds.
Even the magical sword in his hand was wailing continuously, obviously it had reached its limit.
Looking at the dilapidated scene before him, Canghai felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Canghai could never have imagined that the Shangqing Sect, a sect that had been established for more than ten thousand years, would eventually be extinct in his hands.
He only hoped that Cangxi could escape from Shangqing Sect successfully so as to have a glimmer of hope for rebuilding the sect in the future.
Unfortunately, what Canghai didn’t know was that his junior brother had now fallen into Fang Xiao’s hands.
Of course, even without Fang Xiao, Cangxi would have no chance of survival.
With their way out blocked, they would either die in the Sky-Destroying Sword Formation or be killed by King Zhen himself.
The original intention of the Xiankong Anmie Sword Formation was to isolate the inside and outside when the sect was invaded, and to annihilate the enemy separately.
Even if we are unable to defeat the enemy, we can still use it to seal off the mountain and isolate the world.
Unexpectedly, it became the fuse leading to the destruction of Shangqing Sect.
Of course, not being able to judge people well and being infiltrated by people from the royal court is also one of the main reasons that cannot be ignored.
Although he knew that the Royal Court was coming and must have made complete preparations, and it was likely that no one would be able to escape, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that there would be a loophole in the Royal Court's arrangements.
Therefore, Cangxi is still struggling, fighting and retreating.
But his behavior made Fang Xiao quite helpless.
"Does this guy have no way to escape? He has to retreat this way."
The reason is simple: the direction where Canghai retreated is exactly where Jianchi Dongtian is located.
Although the ability of the Five Elements Escape is extremely mysterious, Fang Xiao doesn't dare to say that he can deceive the perception of this person who is suspected to be at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Not to mention the thunder magic that attacks indiscriminately.
At this moment, there was no way for Fang Xiao to sneak into the Sword Pool Cave.
But if Canghai were to die here, this person would be free to search the sky and the earth. Not to mention catching Qinghong, even Fang Xiao himself would be targeted by this person.
A true demon comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm allowed Fang Xiao to escape from an entire region, and he was only able to get away with the help of the Infinite Sumeru Formation.
If he were to be entangled by a peak-level spirit, it would be very difficult for him to escape.
After some ideological struggle, Fang Xiao finally made a decision.
Canghai can die, but he cannot die here and now.
"I never thought that I would help Shangqing Sect one day. I will let you live a little longer."
He just quietly made a sword mark here, then he raised his sword and walked straight forward to the battle.
As he continued to move forward, sword lights continued to emanate from the Zhenkong Sword and were distributed around the airspace. The vast power of suppression appeared and superimposed in waves.
This was the first time Fang Xiao used sword techniques to activate the Zhenkong Sword.
However, even if he used his sword to break all things, he might not be able to repel this being who was suspected to be at the peak of the Divine Transformation stage.
Moreover, Fang Xiao had no intention of fighting with this man, he just wanted to lure him away from here.
Therefore, in comparison, it would be more effective to just use the ability of sword light to split and refine the sword into threads to resist the power of thunder.
As the repressive force spread, the lightning in the sky also stagnated for a moment, and the pressure on the sea was immediately relieved.
Such a change was naturally discovered by King Zhen and Canghai who were not far away at the first time.
Both of them were shocked by the inexplicable appearance of the divine being before them.
King Zhen didn't understand how other gods could enter since the Shangqing Sect had already isolated the inside and the outside.
However, the strength Fang Xiao has currently demonstrated is not considered to be beyond the standard.
Although King Zhen was shocked, he did not think that the newcomer had the ability to change the situation of the war.
What shocked Cangxi was that someone actually forced his way in despite Wang Ting's advance arrangements.
After the shock, there was ecstasy.
No matter what purpose the person who broke into Shangqing Sect had in mind, at least it seemed that he was on Canghai's side for now.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. If you can help our Shangqing Sect survive this disaster, the entire sect will treat you as a guest of honor, and you can use all the collections in the sect at will."
Fang Xiao's sudden appearance was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for Canghai, who was about to drown, so he naturally had to hold on to him.
Therefore, no matter whether this person is an enemy or a friend, Canghai has no choice. As long as there is a chance to survive and preserve the Shangqing Sect's traditional lineage, anything from the Shangqing Sect can be promised out.
