The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 483: Han Ning is Dumbfounded

Sometimes, when things aren’t explicitly stated, people can still understand each other implicitly.

But Zou Zeyu’s words were like ripping away a veil.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

Revenge?

Who would willingly seek revenge for a complete stranger?

However, seeing Zou Zeyu’s arrogant demeanor, a surge of anger seemed to ignite in the hearts of those who had been clamoring earlier.

But at this moment, no one dared to step forward.

Those who had been shouting before were mostly from minor factions.

The strongest among them were only at the Nascent Soul stage.

To confront the Evil Moon Sect head-on without a Soul Formation stage leader was simply courting death.

Seeing these people hesitate, Zou Zeyu let out another sneer.

Sometimes, it wasn’t that he was arrogant, but that these people were simply boneless.

Zou Zeyu continued, “Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor by heaven.

Once you enter the Dantai Ruins, no one will be your father and have the obligation to ensure your safety.

No, even if your father were here in the ruins, he wouldn’t be obligated to protect you.

Wealth and danger go hand in hand, life and death are intertwined.

If a cultivator doesn’t even have this awareness, it’s better to go to the mortal world and seek a peaceful life.”

Zou Zeyu’s words were laced with sarcasm and confidence.

The faces of those who had been clamoring earlier flushed red, their anger reaching its peak, but they couldn’t refute him.

If the corpses on the ground were their fellow disciples, their reason for taking action would be perfectly justifiable.

But now, faced with Zou Zeyu’s words, they had no valid reason to strike.

At this moment, a black-robed old man suddenly stepped forward.

An aura of a Soul Formation stage emanated from him.

He had even reached the late stage of the Soul Formation realm!

His gaze fell upon Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder, his eyes burning with hatred.

Seeing the old man, the Second Elder instinctively took a step forward, standing in front of Zou Zeyu.

He shielded him behind him.

Zou Zeyu’s face suddenly darkened.

His previous words had essentially placed them at odds with everyone else.

But this old man in front of him was very likely to drag them into a conflict with the entire Qingzhou.

Before either Zou Zeyu or the Second Elder could speak, the old man’s raspy voice suddenly echoed through the square.

“Hehehe… The Evil Moon Sect kills without reason.

We cultivators also believe in the impermanence of fate.

But the feud between your Evil Moon Sect Longyan Branch and my Free and Unfettered Sect should be settled today.”

As he spoke, his aura became incredibly sharp, locking onto the Second Elder and Zou Zeyu.

Then his gaze shifted to the countless cultivators standing on the square.

“I am Hou Zhenxi and I am an elder of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

I know that many of your fellow disciples have died at the hands of the Evil Moon Sect Longyan Branch today.

I am willing to lead the way and avenge you all!”

“I’ve always heard that the Evil Moon Sect Longyan Branch’s rise to power was built on the blood and tears of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

Looking at Hou Zhenxi, it seems the rumors are an understatement.”

“It is said that when the current Free and Unfettered Sect Sect Master first came to Longyan City to negotiate with the Longyan Branch, he was directly killed by the Evil Moon Sect Second Elder.”

“One Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch wiped out the Holy City Zhou family, and one Evil Moon Sect Longyan Branch crippled the Free and Unfettered Sect.

The Zhou family and the Free and Unfettered Sect are arguably the two most tragic top powers in Qingzhou today.”

“This kind of thing is not something to gloat over.

The Evil Moon Sect has only produced two branches, and they have already destroyed two top powers.

How many more Zhou families and Free and Unfettered Sects will there be next?”

“That’s right, although we cultivators usually mind our own business, sometimes we also need to understand the principle of ‘a tooth for a tooth’.

The Qingzhou region and even the entire cultivation world doesn’t need anyone to become a dictator.

A flourishing world with a hundred flowers blooming and various factions vying for dominance is what we cultivators desire most.

If the Evil Moon Sect becomes the sole ruler, and Qingzhou falls under the rule of demons, then it will be truly over.”

“….”

Hou Zhenxi’s words immediately sparked a wave of reactions.

Many factions even looked at the Evil Moon Sect with a hint of hostility.

“If I had known this old man was coming to cause trouble,

I should have been more decisive and paid a price to completely destroy the Free and Unfettered Sect.”

At this moment, the Second Elder behind Zou Zeyu couldn’t help but say in a gloomy voice.

He could naturally see that this old man’s words had already put them back in a passive state.

The Second Elder was already feeling the pressure of several Soul Formation stage cultivators who were secretly locking him down.

He knew well that if a real battle broke out, several Soul Formation stage cultivators would immediately attack him.

At that time, he could only flee with Zou Zeyu.

Everything in the Dantai Ruins would then have nothing to do with them.

No matter how strong he and Zou Zeyu were, they were ultimately only one Soul Formation late stage cultivator.

“This old man sympathises with The Free and Unfettered Sect. My Heavenly Fiend Sect of Cangzhou is willing to lend a helping hand to Elder Hou.”

At this moment, the ancestor of the Heavenly Fiend Sect suddenly appeared with a smile and stood beside Hou Zhenxi.

They were the top forces in Cangzhou, with their sect headquarters located in a remote and secluded place.

Even if the Evil Moon Sect was powerful, it would be impossible to reach there.

Here, they would not be afraid of the Evil Moon Sect at all.

Not to mention just a branch sect.

“Hahaha, for the cultivators of the demonic path, we righteous cultivators should all strive to eliminate them.

My Shenying Sect is also willing to lend a helping hand to the Free and Unfettered Sect.”

“It’s also me, Fengling Sect.”

“….”

In just a short moment, three or four top forces stood beside the Free and Unfettered Sect.

Without exception, these people were all forces outside of Qingzhou.

They seemed to be enjoying the spectacle.

Being outside Qingzhou, they would not be afraid of the Evil Moon Sect.

Seeing the forces like Heavenly Fiend Sect standing before him, a hint of joy appeared on Hou Zhenxi’s face.

He knew that as long as he took the lead, someone would follow.

“This old man will first thank you all!

After leading the charge to kill this villain and avenge my Free and Unfettered Sect, this old man will visit each of your sects to express his gratitude!”

Hou Zhenxi clasped his fists towards the Heavenly Fiend ancestor and the others beside him.

Then, the aura of several people instantly pressed down on the Second Elder.

“Second Elder…”

Seeing this scene, Zou Zeyu frowned behind the Second Elder.

He naturally saw the many elder-level figures from the main sect who had arrived.

If the other elders of the main sect were willing to help, today the Evil Moon Sect would definitely not be afraid of the Free and Unfettered Sect gathering these old fellows.

But he knew that, at least during the competition with Luo Yuebai, he couldn’t openly ask for help.

And the main sect wouldn’t openly help either.

He wanted to see how much confidence the Second Elder still had.

However, the Second Elder once again transmitted a message to him: “If nothing unexpected happens, I can only escort the Holy Son away from here.

This time, no matter the cost, we will destroy the Free and Unfettered Sect!”

Hearing the Second Elder’s words, Zou Zeyu’s unwillingness reached its peak.

He looked back at the main hall.

Today he came with great ambition, and he was sure that there were many good things in the Dantai Ruins.

There were even many things he needed.

However, so far, he hadn’t even been able to collect a single treasure.

“Su Jingzhen, you really deserve to die.”

At this moment, Zou Zeyu’s gaze was still fixed on the main hall door.

In Zou Zeyu’s view, all the cause and effect of today should be attributed to Su Jingzhen.

But he was indeed the Holy Son of the Evil Moon Sect.

No matter how angry he was inside, at least his face remained calm.

With the Free and Unfettered Sect’s Hou Zhenxi taking the lead, the other top forces gathered at the square were naturally happy to stand by and watch.

For the forces outside Qingzhou, this was an opportunity to reduce Qingzhou’s power, and it was definitely not a loss.

For the Qingzhou-based forces, they didn’t have a good impression of the Evil Moon Sect. If they could destroy one or two of its branch sects, it would indeed be a good thing.

“Wait a minute!”

However, at this moment, Cang Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged to recover, suddenly stood up.

Before this, Cang Yun had been sitting there, and his aura was only at the Golden Core stage.

Except for the group from Dongxuan Academy, no one paid any attention to him.

Most people didn’t even glance at him.

But now he not only stood up, but also walked a few steps forward.

He arrived between Hou Zhenxi and the others and Zou Zeyu and his second elder.

“Senior Brother Cang Yun, what… what is he going to do?”

Seeing Cang Yun suddenly stand up, the seven disciples from Dongxuan Academy all showed a hint of confusion.

Han Ning and the other two were dumbfounded.

When they weren’t around, what Cang Yun chose to do was his own business.

Even if it cost him his life, no one could blame them .

But since the others from Dongxuan Academy were here, Cang Yun’s actions, to some extent, represented Dongxuan Academy.

If they had known this, even if Cang Yun could really predict everything, Han Ning wouldn’t have chosen to bring him along.
