Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 124 - 93: Residual Effect! Shocking Turn! Dare to Gamble?

Chapter 124: Chapter 93: Residual Effect! Shocking Turn! Dare to Gamble?

"Could it be that the three of us are destined to perish here at this moment?" The three of them felt deeply unwilling in their hearts.

"Hehehe... The Wind Moon Sect really has sent quite a number of people..."

And just as the two of them felt unwilling, a peculiar and eerie laughter suddenly echoed in the void.

The moment this laughter sounded, all the elders of the Wind Moon Sect, who were about to make a move, shuddered, their expressions grew solemn.

The Fourth Elder of the Sect lifted his head, his expression somewhat grim.

In the void ahead, it seemed to twist slightly, then a ghostly figure appeared there.

It was a young figure clad in a blood-patterned black robe, with a puppet-like eerie smile on his pale face. The moment he appeared, a terrifying pressure of Foundation Establishment Perfection surged out domineeringly, covering the entire battlefield. For a moment, under such horrifying pressure, the battlefield fell into temporary silence, with no movements from either side’s elders or disciples.

"Celestial Soul Hall, Sect Leader..."

Gazing at the young figure in the blood-patterned black robe, the Fourth Elder of the Sect spoke with an iron-blue face. Although his cultivation was actually at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he found it difficult to contend against this Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Moreover, at this moment, there were also several figures appearing beside the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader, who were some of the Foundation Establishment Elders of the Celestial Soul Hall.

Meanwhile, further back in the void, a group of new Celestial Soul Hall disciples also appeared, coming to aid.

With this development, the situation on their side of the Wind Moon Sect became perilous and unstable again.

"Unfortunately, no matter how many people you bring, it’s useless..."

The Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader chuckled lowly, then slightly lifted his gaze, his deathly gaze sweeping over everyone present from the Wind Moon Sect, finally resting on Qi Chuan, his eyes slightly narrowing, a touch of icy murderous intent slowly emerging.

"You are quite interesting... able to kill Lin Sha, I appreciate that..."

While speaking with a smile, the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader gently raised his hand, aimed it at Qi Chuan in the void, and then slowly clenched his fist.

As his hand clenched, a wisp of strange spiritual light emanated between them, causing Qi Chuan to sense an unusual sensation from the void around him, his skin beginning to gradually tense, and a chill surged in his heart.

"Is the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader going to strike at me?" Qi Chuan felt a shiver in his heart witnessing this.

Meanwhile, a faint azure-purple radiance trembled slightly within the Dantian.

However, just as Qi Chuan was preparing to counterattack, he suddenly noticed an aged elder slowly materializing before him.

As this aged elder appeared, the strange sensation around his void also gradually subsided.

"Master?"

Looking up slightly and seeing this aged elder, Qi Chuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting his Master, who had originally sent the Fourth Elder of the Sect along with himself and others, to now personally appear.

It seems that the master had already vaguely anticipated the plans of the Celestial Soul Hall and had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to make a move.

However, the endurance of both Sect Leaders is truly remarkable, with neither side appearing even when someone like Lin Sha, a Foundation Establishment Elder, was killed, and neither appearing until the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader revealed himself. Truly worthy of the honor of being Sect Leaders.

"Situ Jiang, you really showed up?"

Seeing his action towards Qi Chuan being blocked, the Celestial Soul Hall Sect Leader Tian Hunzi was not angry but somewhat surprised, looking at the Wind Moon Sect Sect Leader Situ Jiang and saying.

"Didn’t you show up too?" Situ Jiang replied slowly, staring at Tian Hunzi.

"It’s actually normal for me to come, but you..." said Tian Hunzi with a seemingly meaningful look towards Situ Jiang, "but you... I really didn’t expect you would dare to come?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare to come?" Upon hearing this, Situ Jiang just looked at Tian Hunzi indifferently and said.

Hearing this, Tian Hunzi’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Situ Jiang, do you think that by acting mysterious and grandstanding, it will be effective?"

"Whether it’s useful or not, it’s not up to me... nor up to you." Situ Jiang simply said this.

Upon hearing this, Tian Hunzi’s heart sank slightly.

Because he knew, what Situ Jiang said was true, and indeed the fact.

The reason he dared to show up here, and lead the many elders and disciples of Celestial Soul Hall to attack, was not because he was confident in himself, or in these elders and disciples of Celestial Soul Hall.

After all, to be frank, the two great forces of Celestial Soul Hall and Wind Moon Sect, below the Sect Leaders, did not differ significantly in strength.

Such a big and ostentatious battle, even if one side wins, it would be a tragic victory, with enormous losses that would be hard to accept.

To put it bluntly, the confidence in the hearts of Tian Hunzi and everyone in Celestial Soul Hall was the Core Formation True Master hidden in the dark, the Supreme Elder of Celestial Soul Hall!

As long as there was Core Formation combat power hidden in the shadows, then Tian Hunzi and everyone in Celestial Soul Hall would be unafraid.

But the Wind Moon Sect was different.

Currently, the Core Formation combat power of the Wind Moon Sect, the Profound Sword True Master, was in a state of uncertainty about its existence.

If the Profound Sword True Master existed and could take action, then no matter how arrogant Celestial Soul Hall might be, there would be a limit, and they wouldn’t dare to fully and completely start a sect war.

Because as long as the Profound Sword True Master was there, then the Core Formation True Master of Celestial Soul Hall wouldn’t dare to show up easily, leaving it to the people below to fight. However, since the strength of both sects below the Sect Leaders was similar, they wouldn’t be able to easily defeat the Wind Moon Sect people with low losses, or simply put, they couldn’t swallow them all.

But if the Profound Sword True Master did not exist at this time, or was in a state of "pseudo-existence" where he couldn’t take action, then even if the strength of the Wind Moon Sect below the Sect Leader were several times higher, what of it? As soon as a Core Formation True Master appeared, it could be resolved instantly.

Ultimately, the existence of the Profound Sword True Master was a gamble.

The question was whether Celestial Soul Hall dared to gamble.

Moreover, the person making the gamble wasn’t the people of Celestial Soul Hall, nor Tian Hunzi, but the Core Formation True Master of Celestial Soul Hall who had always been hiding in the shadows.

The question was whether this Core Formation True Master dared to gamble.

This was why Situ Jiang said that neither of their words made any difference in whether it was effective or not.

And for the Core Formation True Master of Celestial Soul Hall to make a decision, they still needed to probe and gather information, which was also the purpose of Tian Hunzi and all the people of Celestial Soul Hall coming here now.

Originally, Tian Hunzi’s plan was to first gather more members of the Wind Moon Sect here, and then launch such a large-scale surprise attack on the Wind Moon Sect’s Spirit Stone Mine to see if the Wind Moon Sect would come to the rescue.

If the Wind Moon Sect dared not rescue, or dared not send too many elders and disciples for the rescue, nor dared to pour too much strength, then it would mean that the Wind Moon Sect was very weak, and it could be speculated that there must have been a problem with the Profound Sword True Master.

Then Tian Hunzi could take the Spirit Stone Mine with peace of mind, swallowing all the members of the Wind Moon Sect there.

But now, the Wind Moon Sect not only poured a lot of strength into the rescue, sending newly-advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators with great potential like Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue to the Spirit Stone Mine front line, but even had the Wind Moon Sect Leader Situ Jiang personally show up, surprisingly bold.

Could it be that Situ Jiang wasn’t afraid of the hidden Core Formation True Master of Celestial Soul Hall taking action, leaving all the members of the Wind Moon Sect present?

If this were indeed the case, including the Wind Moon Sect Leader at Foundation Establishment Perfection, and promising newly-advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators like Qi Chuan and Yun Qingyue, along with the deaths of numerous elders and disciples of the scene, 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

such massive losses would directly render the Wind Moon Sect nominal and existential, making its destruction by Celestial Soul Hall a mere formality, requiring no extra effort.

Anyway, if it were Tian Hunzi in charge of the Wind Moon Sect, he probably wouldn’t dare to do this and would rather shrink back into the Wind Moon Sect’s Tier Three Array, possibly managing to resist for a while, unlike now, completely handing over their destiny to someone else’s choice.

Unless, the Profound Sword True Master from the other sect was also hidden in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment?

Then, would the hidden Supreme Elder of Celestial Soul Hall dare to gamble that the opponent wasn’t there?
