Chapter 272: War Reaches Its Fever Pitch Settling the Karmic Score


"Junior Brother, you have arrived."

Looking at Ji Haoyuan, whose cultivation had already advanced to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, True Monarch Yanfa couldn't help but show a hint of gratification on his face.

Indeed.

His junior brother had not disappointed him.

In just ten short years, not only had he completely consolidated his own realm, but he had also advanced his cultivation by another level.

"Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother."

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan also proactively stepped forward and paid his respects to True Monarch Yanfa.

True Monarch Yanfa returned the gesture with a smile.

After a moment.

True Monarch Yanfa said, "Junior Brother Nanhua, now that you have ascended to Nascent Soul, according to tradition, a Nascent Soul celebration should be held for you.

However, the situation is somewhat special now.

The war between us and the True Words Sect has reached a fever pitch.

It's truly untimely to hold a celebration for you at this moment.

We can only make it up to you after this war has concluded.

I hope you can understand."

Ji Haoyuan naturally had no objections to this.

Given that True Monarch Yanfa had mentioned the war with the True Words Sect, Ji Haoyuan naturally needed to understand a bit.

"Dare I ask, Sect Leader Senior Brother, what is the current situation in the war between our four sects?"

Seeing Ji Haoyuan inquire about this matter, True Monarch Yanfa would not conceal anything.

He said, "The current situation is as I just mentioned.

The war between our four sects has reached a fever pitch.

Your two senior brothers, as well as Senior Sister Baihua, have already gone to the front line to oversee."

"Hmm? Senior Brother Xuan Yuan and the others have all gone to the front line?"

Ji Haoyuan frowned slightly.

He knew very well that when even Nascent Soul True Monarchs are mobilized.

Things had already become intense.

At this point, the so-called contest over Spiritual Ore and other resources might no longer be the ultimate goal.

Both sides had already begun targeting the elimination of each other's viable forces.

Especially the late-stage Golden Core cultivators between the two factions.

And some mid-stage Golden Core cultivators would likely become primary targets for each other to eliminate.

As for Nascent Soul True Monarchs like themselves...

They are precisely not in much danger.

Firstly, the role of Nascent Soul True Monarchs is merely deterrence, serving as the ultimate fallback of the entire battle situation, and they wouldn't easily reveal themselves.

Secondly, and most critically, Nascent Soul cultivators aren't easy to kill.

At the same realm, unless three or more people are attacking simultaneously, it's hardly possible to slay the opponent's physical body.

As for the opponent's Nascent Soul...

Once away from the physical body, it can possess the ability of spatial teleportation.

Unless a prohibition that restricts spatial teleportation has been set up in advance, it's almost impossible to deal with the opponent's Nascent Soul.

"As for the war losses..."

Speaking about this, True Monarch Yanfa's eyebrows couldn't help but crease slightly.

"I can only say, the losses of our four sects are not small.

In comparison, the True Words Sect and the Five Elements Demon Sect have a greater number of late-stage Golden Core cultivators fallen in the Fuya Secret Realm than our two sects.

Therefore, on the overall battlefront, our two sects currently have a slight advantage.

However, even so.

This time, four Golden Core cultivators from our Demonstration Sect have fallen."

"Hmm? Fallen are four Golden Core cultivators?"

Ji Haoyuan frowned as well.

In a span of ten years, losing four Golden Core cultivators all at once.

This number, honestly, is somewhat high.

One should know that among a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, there may not even be one who can ultimately advance to the Golden Core.

It shows just how difficult it is for ordinary cultivators to advance to the Golden Core.

Now, Ji Haoyuan couldn't say whether, even if the Demonstration Sect and Five Elements Profound Sect's side ultimately won this war, it would be a loss or gain.

Yet, since the battle has reached this point, there's no reason to back down midway.

Unless one side suffers a loss at the Nascent Soul level.

The impact on all fronts might lead the war to end prematurely.

This is an analysis based on facts and reason.

Upon this thought, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but ask True Monarch Yanfa:

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, dare I ask if True Monarch Bihai from the True Words Sect is stationed at any battlefield now?"

"True Monarch Bihai?"

Seeing Ji Haoyuan suddenly mention this person.

True Monarch Yanfa's eyes flashed immediately.

He couldn't help but look towards Ji Haoyuan and, after thinking, said:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, by mentioning this person, are you intending...?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan did not conceal anything; he nodded and said directly:

"This person has struck at me more than once during my Golden Core stage.

Especially that time when I returned to the sect from East Mountain Pass, he, shamelessly breaking seniority, personally pursued me with the intent to kill.

If I hadn't advanced to Nascent Soul this time, it might have been let go.

Now that I've ascended to Nascent Soul, I must settle this matter of cause and effect with him one way or another."

As a late-stage Nascent Soul Great True Monarch, True Monarch Yanfa knew well.

The karmic connection between True Monarch Bihai and Ji Haoyuan must be resolved.

Either True Monarch Bihai dies, or Ji Haoyuan falls.

There's no third possibility.

Thus.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, True Monarch Yanfa didn't speak words of advice but directly answered:

"To my knowledge, True Monarch Bihai is currently stationed at Zone No. 6 of Section A.

By the way, your former Senior Sister Lei Xia is also at that battlefield."

"Hmm? Senior Sister Lei Xia is there too?"

Ji Haoyuan's heart slightly moved, and then he nodded.

"In that case, Sect Leader Senior Brother, I plan to head to Zone No. 6 of Section A soon."

Regarding Ji Haoyuan's decision, upon asking about True Monarch Bihai's whereabouts, True Monarch Yanfa had already anticipated it.

So he didn't show any surprise on his face but instead asked with concern.

"How confident are you about dealing with Bihai?"

"If Senior Brother Fuguang assists, I should have over sixty percent confidence."

Ji Haoyuan pondered for a moment before responding:

"If we can catch him off guard, the confidence should be even greater.

At least destroying his physical body should not be a problem."

In fact.

Ji Haoyuan still phrased this somewhat conservatively.

With the cultivation of True Monarch Bihai, Ji Haoyuan had learned very clearly over the past years.

This person has a cultivation of the third level of Nascent Soul.

Same as True Monarch Floating Light, who is currently responsible for guarding Zone No. 6 of Section A.

To deal with such a person.

Even if relying solely on himself, Ji Haoyuan is quite confident in killing him.

Note, it's killing, not just destroying his physical body.

That is to say.

Both the opponent's physical body and Nascent Soul, Ji Haoyuan has considerable confidence in annihilating.

He simply didn't speak with complete certainty in front of True Monarch Yanfa.
