Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1209 - 552: Halfway to Success?

What a pity.

Wang Jixuan sighed slightly in his heart.

He had wanted to see the Feather God Palace and the Dark Sect fight fiercely, but upon seeing high-level leaders from both sides appear, he realized that the local conflict here was not going to continue.

Their arrival was a bit too quick, instantly halving Master Wang’s joy.

A sharp gaze swept over, making Wang Jixuan’s alien soul shiver, but he quickly steadied himself, not exposing any flaws.

"You are quite bold."

Master Zhi Hui lightly furrowed her brows, looking at the heavily reduced Dark Sect Immortals in front of her.

Though she was the Vice Sect Hierarch, she usually did not handle the Dark Sect’s external conquests.

However, the Dark Sect’s severe losses in the intense battle with Feather God Palace by the Fusang Divine Wood left her no choice but to step forward and urgently seek the familiar Vice Palace Master of Feather God Palace,

right beside her, the old man in golden armor.

They appeared together, naturally to stop the two factions from continuing the fight.

Most of the Dark Sect’s Immortal Soldiers had been sent to the Mortal World, leaving mainly True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals at the headquarters. If they were to truly war with the Feather God Palace, the palace would only need to deploy a hundred thousand Immortal Soldiers, along with a sufficient number of Heavenly Immortal experts, to significantly drain the Dark Sect’s strength at their headquarters.

Thus, the Dark Sect was no match for the Feather God Palace and should not war with them.

Master Zhi Hui walked slowly from the clouds, her beautiful eyes glinting, her expression cold, her voice still calm: 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Which elder is in charge of overall coordination?"

The several Golden Immortal elders at the forefront each bowed their heads.

A Golden Immortal whom Wang Jixuan found familiar stepped forward, saluted Master Zhi Hui, and said in a low voice, "Reporting to the Vice Sect Hierarch, it is Elder Hou."

"Elder Hou," Master Zhi Hui sighed softly, "in attempting to capture that Mechanical Demon, we used the elite troops mobilized by the Heavenly Dao Stele from headquarters. Why then are there such heavy losses? Dozens fallen, most injured—that is the result of your command?"

Elder Hou hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Vice Sect Hierarch... the casualties here are mainly due to that Mechanical Demon! He has a type of Magic Artifact seemingly refined following the power of the Yin Yang Dao, with extraordinary might. Upon explosion, within a hundred-zhang radius, even ordinary Heavenly Immortals find it hard to withstand, leading to evaporation of the body and leaving only the residual soul!"

Master Zhi Hui slightly raised an eyebrow, "Oh? The Yin Yang Dao?"

"Vice Sect Hierarch, even I do not know what it is, but nothing false has happened here!"

Elder Hou glanced sideways at the other side:

"As for Feather God Palace... hmph! They first insulted and provoked us with extremely nasty words!"

From the Feather God Palace’s camp, a one-armed Golden Armor Birdman immediately jumped out, "You’re lying! It was clearly you who insulted us first!"

"To even lie about that!"

"It was indeed us who struck first, but wasn’t it because we were enraged by your vile language?"

"How could our Feather God Palace use vile language?"

"Damn it! What you said was horrid! You even cursed that all my offspring would take the family name of your fellow Daoist!"

Someone nearby muttered, "That’s not impossible."

"Enough, all of you, shut up!"

The elderly golden-haired man from the Feather God Palace roared, causing half the sky to tremble.

Both sides of cultivators fell silent.

The golden-haired elder spoke in a deep voice, "Picking a fight over a clash of egos, with such significant casualties—are you all three-year-old children? Still wet behind the ears and unable to adapt?"

The immortals were as quiet as chickens.

This is the deterrent power of an expert.

The golden-haired elder spoke loudly, "Concerning today’s matter, our Feather God Palace will certainly demand an account from the Dark Sect! As it was you who acted first, the Feather God Palace naturally has the upper hand! However, today our clan’s Divine Wood has appeared, if the Dark Sect can assist, guarding the west side to prevent anyone from approaching, past conflicts can be swept under the rug!"

In the crowd.

Wang Jixuan now truly wanted to shout in a high-pitched voice: ’Just like how we fear you, Feather God Palace!’

Unfortunately, he could not shout that.

This puppet of his had other important uses!

None of the Dark Sect’s immortals spoke, Master Zhi Hui gently said:

"Today’s matter started from a misunderstanding, my Dark Sect holds no grudge against Feather God Palace. As an emerging power in the Immortal Realm, the Dark Sect’s current prestige is largely due to the support of the Eight Great Immortal Palaces.

"However, my sect’s fellows did suffer many losses before the Feather God Palace’s battle array. If we continue to yield without reciprocation, even my position as Vice Sect Hierarch might become untenable."

The golden-haired elder said, "With powerful enemies surrounding us, eyeing our clan’s Divine Wood, it is better for us, Feather God Palace to have one more friend than one more enemy."

Wang Jixuan’s main body was overjoyed.

Are these two playing a double act?

Isn’t it clear they’re planning to join forces, yet they insist on beating around the bush as if needing a proper justification?

Nevertheless, most of the fire stoked on both sides was indeed extinguished at this moment.

Master Zhi Hui calmly said, "In that case, why not have Feather God Palace assist us in tracking down the Mechanical Demon’s whereabouts? Just find his trace, leave the rest to the Dark Sect... Various fellow Daoists can even use the Mechanical Demon’s tracks as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Nine Revolutions Spirit Pill, which can bring the dead back to life."

Upon these words, cultivators on all sides heard it.

The golden-haired elder said, "Then it’s settled, we will help you find the whereabouts of that Mechanical Demon, and you help us guard the west side of the Divine Wood."

"Why not?"

Master Zhi Hui said indifferently:

"To all the Dark Sect colleagues, listen to the order to garrison the Western side of the Divine Wood Array, allowing no one to approach."

Whether happy about it or not, the hundreds of Dark Sect Immortals had to bow their heads and accept the order.

The Feather God Palace had also regained some dignity. Their Immortal Soldier formation was strictly disciplined; as the golden-haired elder gestured, the formation marched towards the Divine Wood.

At this moment, Wang Jixuan could only sigh to himself.

All right, I suppose. Slaying dozens of Dark Sect Immortals today, though mostly low-tier Heavenly Immortals, severely impacted the Dark Sect.
