Penglai Immortal Island.
Inside a majestic palace.
At the main hall.
An elder in a black robe had a somber expression, his whole body exuding a terrifying murderous aura and anger.
All the Elders and top officials wore equally grim looks on their faces.
They had already learned from the shattered Soul Jade that Su Qingfeng and the two Young Masters had been murdered.
The Island Master's old eyes narrowed as he said grimly, "What a Gu Chenfeng, daring to kill a genius disciple of my Penglai Immortal Island, and even murder my island's Elder."
"Could that Gu Chenfeng really possess such formidable strength?" A skeptical Elder said, "But the initial reports stated he was only at the Soul Emergence Stage."
"Even if his talent is exceptional and his cultivation speed astonishing, even if he obtained fortuitous opportunities in the Secret Realm, there's no way his cultivation could reach the Late Stage of Crossing Tribulation."
"Even if he broke through to the Late Stage, he couldn't possibly deal with Chiba and Qianhun. Together, they could slay a powerhouse at the Early Stage of Mahayana. Could it be that someone from the Medicine God Hall intervened?"
The Island Master coldly frowned and said, "The Medicine God Hall would not disgrace themselves in such a manner."
An Elder retorted in anger, "Island Master, the one who killed our Third Elder must be the mysterious powerhouse who defeated the Demon Monarch. Otherwise, even with a thousand bolts of courage, they wouldn't dare kill an Elder of my Penglai Immortal Island."
Another Elder frowned and said, "We have no idea where this person comes from, possessing strength at the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal, and we couldn't find any information despite sending people to investigate."
"I don't care who he is," the Island Master said fiercely, "daring to kill an Elder of my Penglai Immortal Island is a declaration of war against us! I will see for myself where this person originates from!"
"Island Master, that Gu Chenfeng shares the same name as that man. Could he be a descendant of that man?" An Elder asked with a frown, appearing a little worried.
"So what if he is a descendant?" The Island Master said aggressively, "Even if he has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and even if he returns, my Penglai Immortal Island fears nothing!"
At this moment.
A middle-aged man in white silently appeared in the hall.
"Greetings to the Immortal," the Island Master, Elders, and top officials knelt respectfully.
The man in white said indifferently, "That Gu Chenfeng is indeed no simple character. He has already reached the Middle Stage of Crossing Tribulation and withstood the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation."
"Someone from the Thunder Soul Race secretly used the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation to try to kill him, but he managed to withstand it. He is likely aware now."
"This is the perfect chance to kill him. He must not be allowed to grow any stronger. The Medicine God Hall is unnecessary now."
"What? The Seventh Heavenly Tribulation?" The Island Master and Elders gasped in shock, their eyes nearly popping out.
This was the first time they heard of the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation.
The man in white didn't explain further, continuing, "A few days ago, an Immortal from the Taiyi Immortal Sect was killed, perishing in the Cultivation Realm."
"What? An Immortal was killed? Died in the Cultivation Realm?" Once again, the Island Master and Elders' expressions changed dramatically, fear-stricken.
It was, after all, an Immortal from the Immortal Realm.
Yet, they died in the Cultivation Realm!
Who in the Cultivation Realm possesses the ability to kill an Immortal?
The man in white said indifferently, "The Taiyi Immortal Sect has been destroyed. My guess is it was the ancestor of the Taiyi Divine Hall who acted, but it's not certain. With his cultivation, he shouldn't be able to enter the Lower Realm. Besides, apart from people from the Chaos Immortal Hall, others from the Immortal Realm can hardly enter the Lower Realm."
"The Hall Master is already aware of this matter and has ordered us to fully investigate and swiftly eliminate him."
"The Taiyi Divine Hall!" The Island Master and Elders were shocked once more, clearly aware of the existence of the Taiyi Divine Hall.
Suppressing endless shock, the Island Master respectfully asked, "Immortal, should we send disciples to investigate?"
"No need," the man in white shook his head, "I have already ordered the Ancient Sect to investigate. You should prepare for war and eliminate the Medicine God Hall promptly."
Again respectfully, the Island Master said, "Immortal, there is another mysterious powerhouse in the Medicine God Hall at the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal. If they intervene, it may be difficult to destroy the Medicine God Hall."
The man in white said indifferently, "I have also heard of this person. If necessary, I will make my move."
Hearing this, the Island Master and the Elders sighed in relief.
In front of a powerful Immortal, no matter how strong the Cultivation Realm cultivators' strength, they are merely ants.
The man in white continued speaking, "Several Half-Immortal Demon Beasts from the Demon God Race have appeared. The Ice Phoenix has also broken through to the Half-Immortal Realm. Seize this chance to capture them all and bring back the Ancient Demon Fire."
"As you command!" The Island Master answered respectfully.
"Seal the sea immediately, and ensure nothing leaks out," the man in white added, "Until the murderer is found and eliminated, do not absorb demonic energy for cultivation."
"Furthermore, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect and three Elders have absorbed demon energy and will enter the Infinite World soon. Send someone to escort them."
With those words, the man in white vanished into thin air.
"As you command!" The Island Master and Elders answered respectfully.
"Great news!" the Grand Elder exclaimed excitedly, "With the Immortal's assistance, eliminating the Medicine God Hall will be a breeze. Once we capture those Half-Immortal powerhouses, we will have made a great contribution, and the Immortal will surely reward us generously!"
The Island Master was equally excited, immediately ordering, "Yunjing Guardian, send the command: Penglai Immortal Island is to prepare for war with all its might! All the Immortal Island forces' powerhouses are to assemble within half a month!"
"At once, I will transmit the orders!" Yunjing Guardian accepted the order respectfully and then flashed away.
When Yunjing Guardian reappeared, he was already above Penglai Immortal Island.
Yunjing Guardian flashed in and out, his terrifying aura at the Late Stage of Mahayana instantly covering the entire Penglai Immortal Island.
"Yunjing Guardian!" The cultivators of various forces on Penglai Immortal Island cried out in surprise.
Under Yunjing Guardian's pressure, he commanded, "The Island Master commands all forces' powerhouses of Penglai Immortal Island to assemble within half a month to annihilate the Medicine God Hall!"
"Annihilate the Medicine God Hall? What is happening?"
"Did I hear wrong? Penglai Immortal Island wants to go to war with the Medicine God Hall?"
"It's been many years since Penglai Immortal Island last involved itself in the Cultivation Realm's affairs. Why suddenly the decision to destroy the Medicine God Hall?"
The cultivators of various forces were utterly shocked, none knowing what had transpired.
A Tribulation Stage powerhouse curiously asked, "Yunjing Guardian, what happened? Why suddenly the move to destroy the Medicine God Hall?"
Yunjing Guardian said sternly, "The Medicine God Hall killed our three Elders and two genius disciples of Penglai Immortal Island, a vendetta that must be avenged with the annihilation of the Medicine God Hall!"
Upon these words.
The cultivators of various forces buzzed with shock.
The Medicine God Hall dared to kill three Elders of Penglai Immortal Island, apparently not regarding Penglai Immortal Island with any importance, no wonder the sudden order to annihilate the Medicine God Hall.
Within the Profound Cyan Sect.
Yun Moxian's lips curled into a wicked smile, saying fiercely, "Finally, the opportunity has arrived."
"Without the protection of the Medicine God Hall, the mere Ancient Divine Sect is trivial; this Sect Leader can crush you with ease."
