The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 304 - 183 Revenge Is Such a Bore_2
Little did he know that after a brief moment, a loud, prolonged laughter from Tu Jin emerged from the Mountain Protection Array, and as the light within the array dissipated, the demon, though wounded, still stood proudly. "Hey, it’s even faster than back in the day by half an hour; indeed, the body of this Holy Beast is mighty strong!"
The Mountain Protection Array had actually been broken by him!
With his enormous figure, Tu Jin leisurely approached the Sect Leader of Yunxiao Palace, and after glancing at Wei Ming, who was like facing a formidable enemy, his eyes shifted, expressing varied emotions, and after a while, he said: "I didn’t expect Yunxiao Palace to have declined so much, that even the majestic Sect Leader is merely at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. To think I have been obsessing over revenge after being trapped! Hehe, if Qin Suxia knew that the Sect she protected with all her might has turned into a miserable mess without the need for outsiders’ intervention, I wonder what she would feel!" Qin Suxia, naturally, is Fairy Su Xia’s real name.
He stood there for a long time, feeling utterly indifferent. The belief that had sustained him for over a thousand years now crumbled in an instant.
Ever since he was trapped in the Sealed Land by Fairy Su Xia, his daily and nightly thoughts were obsessed with how to take revenge on Yunxiao Palace after his escape, to doubly repay the grievances and humiliation he had suffered. But now that he finally stood here, he found that his opponents had become considerably weak. It’s like a bullfighter who, after training day and night, arrives at the arena only to find that his opponent is no longer a robust bull but a gentle little lamb. Perhaps his mood can only be described as deeply disillusioned?
Tu Jin stood stupified, and with thousands of people in the Yunxiao Palace, not a single one dared to make a sound, creating an incredibly odd and depressing scene. After a while, Tu Jin dispiritedly said: "Forget it, it’s so boring. There’s no strength left for even a fight, what pleasure is there in slaughtering them!"
After all, he once was a disciple of the Yunxiao Palace, and he hadn’t refrained from capturing mortals in the secret realm to inquire about recent affairs of the Sect. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, disciples of the Immortal Sect are akin to Immortal Masters; how could they know the actual state of Yunxiao Palace? Now that he witnessed the decline of the Sect, he didn’t know whether to feel joy or sorrow, pride or loss.
Wei Ming and the Great Elders exchanged glances, all displaying unpleasant expressions. This demon was so powerful, yet it was disheartening that Yunxiao Palace had been gradually weakening over hundreds of years, to the extent that their enemy didn’t even feel inclined to strike. This was a blatant slap in the face, even if they secretly sighed in relief.
It was, after all, a legacy handed down by the forebears; they certainly didn’t want to see it destroyed by their own hands.
Tu Jin curled his lips and flew towards the Main Peak. Though he was too lazy to kill, there was still a surge of malice in his chest that needed to be vented.
The main hall of Yunxiao Palace was built on the highest Peak of Qingjing Mountain, an exceptionally majestic palace complex. Having been inherited for nearly two thousand years, every generation of disciples had maintained and expanded it, and under the moonlight, it was indeed a magnificent sight. Tu Jin flew up to the peak, took a deep breath, and with demonic power circulating in his chest, he then spewed out a surging Divine Fire!
This Divine Fire, integrating his thousands of years of resentment, naturally used all his might, instantaneously forming a mustached, toothed Fire Dragon in the air, its fangs and claws fiercely striking towards the palatial buildings. Most of Yunxiao Palace’s halls were built from wood and brick; touched by this Divine Fire, they would inevitably be reduced to ashes.
A smile appeared on the corner of Tu Jin’s mouth. He had wanted to do this for many, many years. Now, sparing the lives of the disciples of the Sect but merely burning down their palaces, frankly, he was already being rather generous.
Yet just at that moment, a mysterious blue light suddenly rose around the outer perimeter of the palaces, rippling like water and instantly spreading out to protect most of the buildings! The Fire Dragon crashed into this rippling layer, roared a couple of times, and ultimately dissipated into nothingness, having been futilely extinguished.
This main hall was actually protected by a Barrier!
Tu Jin was furious, sparks appearing again between the Qishou’s teeth, evidently gearing up for another attack. But a soft sigh suddenly sounded by his ear: "Yusheng, what strange and bizarre body have you borrowed to see me this time?"
This voice! The Qishou suddenly stiffened, swallowing the Divine Fire back into his stomach. He stared blankly, and on the Barrier, the figure of a woman quietly materialized, smiling tenderly at him.
This woman, adorned in a lotus dress with a long skirt like flowing snow, stood gracefully in mid-air, her figure as if sculpted, her waist as if bound by a thin material. Her countenance was undoubtedly that of a Heavenly Person, but it was her tranquil and serene demeanour, imparting the fragrance without additives, untainted and unsullied natural beauty.
Upon seeing her, Tu Jin stood motionless, his heart simultaneously filled with ecstatic joy and vehement hatred, both pride and irritation, both sweetness and sorrow. Fortunately, even though his heart was engulfed by tempestuous waves, his beastly face remained expressionless.
"Qin Suxia!" He could only squeeze these words hatefully through his gritted teeth. With his experience, he naturally knew this was not Fairy Su Xia herself, but merely a strand of her Divine Thought, which couldn’t even hold a conversation but could only relay the words left by its master. In his extremity, he had asked mortal beings, who said that after Fairy Su Xia resigned as Sect Leader, she wandered the Four Seas, with no further trace of her.
Fairy Su Xia’s face showed neither sadness nor joy: "If you can see this strand of my Divine Thought, it means you have escaped from the Sealing Land. You must have taken your revenge on Yunxiao Palace by now, haven’t you?" she asked, softening her tone, "This, after all, was once our Sect, would you leave them a glimmer of hope?"
She always wholeheartedly put the Sect first! Anger swelled in Tu Jin’s heart, and although he faced only an illusion that couldn’t hear his reply, he repeatedly said: "No, no! I want to wipe them all out!" Originally, he had intended to spare the disciples of Yunxiao Palace, but now he refused to follow Fairy Su Xia’s wishes. (To be continued.
