The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 1001: Betrayed by All
Chapter 1001: Betrayed by All
The speaker was clad in a black robe, and his features were strikingly handsome.
His aura was formidable, as he had reached the Mystic Immortal Realm. In fact, he was not far behind Changyang Tiansha in terms of strength.
At the peak of his stubbornness, Changyang Tiansha was met with doubt from those around him.
This only fueled his anger further, his face darkening like stormy waters.
"Liu Tianshan, what did you just say? Are you questioning me?"
Changyang Tiansha glared at Liu Tianshan, a flicker of killing intent already surfacing in his demeanor.
When the disciples of the Martial God Hall noticed this, they became even more disillusioned.
Before the incident in the Elf Forest, they had a certain amount of respect for Changyang Tiansha. But now, it seemed that aside from his talent in cultivation, Changyang Tiansha was nothing more than a sore loser.
Such a person was not worthy of their loyalty.
With the facts so clear, Changyang Tiansha still wanted to lead them to their deaths.
Having lived this long and cultivated to this level, none of them were fools.
"Senior Brother Changyang, your heart is clouded with demonic thoughts.
You are no longer fit to lead this mission.
Now, I, Liu Tianshan, will take your place. I will not stand by and watch as the disciples of the Martial God Hall are led astray under your command!"
As Liu Tianshan spoke, he already held a Crescent Moon Blade in his hand. A fierce fighting spirit erupted from him, and his eyes burned with anger.
Changyang Tiansha laughed, but his laughter was dark and menacing. "Good, very good. Liu Tianshan, you wish to betray the sect? Then today, I will cleanse our ranks."
Changyang Tiansha's silver hair fluttered as a majestic spear materialized in his hand. His white robes billowed, giving him the appearance of a god of war.
Liu Tianshan's expression was grave, but he continued, "You have forced your own hatred onto the interests of the sect-this is disloyalty.
Knowing that something is impossible, yet still forcing your fellow disciples to attempt it-this is foolishness.
Senior Brother Changyang, you are indeed no longer fit to lead this mission. If my actions today are truly a crime, then the sect elders will judge me.
As for you, you are not qualified to cleanse the ranks!"
With these words, Liu Tianshan's fighting spirit soared to its peak.
"You are seeking death!" Changyang Tianshan could no longer maintain his fake smile.
With a step on the void, his spear shot toward Liu Tianshan like a dragon, without any intention of testing the waters.
It seemed like he wanted to end Liu Tianshan with a single strike.
"Hmph!"
Liu Tianshan snorted coldly, his Crescent Moon Blade slashing out with full force.
At the same time, the numerous Martial God Hall disciples behind him also sprang into action.
A barrage of attacks were unleashed on Changyang Tiansha.
Changyang Tiansha's expression changed.
No matter how strong he was, he could not withstand dozens of attacks at once. He forcibly retracted his spear and frantically retreated.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Even so, Changyang Tiansha was still hit several times, his qi churning violently as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The saying, "Those who have the Way have many allies, while those who lose the Way have few" was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
"Fine, fine! Just wait for the sect's punishment!"
Unable to kill anyone, Changyang Tiansha's boundless rage had no outlet.
Never before had he felt so humiliated. In an instant, he had become a lone figure, abandoned by all.
Liu Tianshan and the others did not speak, but their eyes were filled with pity as they looked at him.
"Senior Brother Changyang, take care of yourself," Liu Tianshan said before turning around and leaving the Fire Elemental Secret Realm.
If it weren't for Changyang Tiansha's desire to deal with Su Jingzhen, this would not have been a place for the Martial God Hall to come to in the first place.
The disciples of the Martial God Hall remained silent as they followed Liu Tianshan.
On a distant mountaintop, the elders of the Martial God Hall sighed deeply.
"Tianshan has developed a demon in his heart. This is his trial. If he cannot overcome it, this promising seedling will be ruined."
"However, Tianshan has proven himself. He can shoulder the responsibility when it matters."
"And where did that fellow Xuan Jin run off to? If Tianshan continues on this path, Xuan Jin could lead the next generation."
"..."
The elders sighed, but their hearts were not broken. The cultivation world was often cruel.
Geniuses were never in short supply, and everyone had to fight their own battles to reach the top.
If Changyang Tiansha chose to walk into a dead end, that was his own doing.
Such was the magnanimity of a great sect.
...
Now, only Changyang Tiansha remained in the clearing.
His expression shifted between light and shadow as he gazed at the crimson barrier, his hatred burning fiercer than ever.
Clearly, he had already shifted all the blame for today's events onto Su Jingzhen.
"Achoo!"
Su Jingzhen, who had just entered the barrier, suddenly sneezed.
"Teacher, it's so hot here. Could you really have caught a cold?"
Ning Yao teased him, her large eyes sparkling with amusement.
Su Jingzhen rubbed his nose.
"I have too many enemies. Who knows who's thinking about me right now?"
He didn't dwell on it and looked ahead instead.
The scene inside the barrier was completely different from what they had seen outside.
From the outside, the Fire Elemental Secret Realm appeared to be dominated by a single towering volcano.
But inside, hundreds of volcanoes stretched out before them, each spewing terrifying waves of heat.
Rivers of lava flowed between the volcanoes, and rare and exotic plants blossomed proudly on the rocks protruding from the molten streams.
The spiritual roots growing here were all fire-attributed and of exceptionally high quality. The eyes of the members of the Divine Dan Sect gleamed with excitement.
"What a place! Truly remarkable!"
"Junior Brother Su, the energy here seems to be more stable, and the heat waves are manageable. Should we split up? Staying under your protection doesn't offer much in terms of training."
Someone suggested this to Su Jingzhen directly.
The Fire Element Secret Realm was huge, and splitting up would indeed maximize their gains.
Su Jingzhen had no objections.
As he had initially thought, how could one gain experience without facing any danger?
As Su Jingzhen responded to the Divine Dan Sect members, Huo Huang from Fire God Mountain also smiled and said, "Brother Su, as we agreed earlier, the treasures here belong to those who are fated to find them. Let's all go our separate ways."
As she spoke, Huo Huang turned to her fellow disciples from Fire God Mountain and solemnly added, "You may also disperse, but remember this: do not conflict with the members of the Divine Dan Sect. If necessary, you may even cooperate with them."
Huo Huang's repeated emphasis on this point surprised Su Jingzhen.
Soon, the forty or so members of Fire God Mountain scattered to the distant volcanoes.
The members of the Divine Dan Sect also bid farewell to Su Jingzhen and went their separate ways.
Only Su Jingzhen, Jian Ling, Yan Xia, Han Ganxue, Xuan Su, Ning Yao, and Shengana remained.
"Aren't you all going to seek your own opportunities?" Su Jingzhen asked somewhat confused.
Jian Ling smiled. "We are not particularly interested in fire attribute treasures. We'll just follow you and watch you collect these Heaven and Earth Flames.
If necessary, you can share some with us later. Wouldn't that be easier?"
Su Jingzhen chuckled and nodded, not caring about their decision.
He turned his gaze to the hundreds of volcanoes ahead of him, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
Shangguan Tiantong had once mentioned that the number of Heaven and Earth Flames in the Divine Shepherd Sect's Fire Elemental Secret Realm was likely only half of what the Divine Dan Sect possessed.
He could sense the powerful aura emanating from those volcanoes.
All the Flames of Heaven and Earth must be hidden within them.
He extended his hand, and the Flesh and Blood Flame materialized in his palm.
Heaven and Earth Flame had a subtle connection to each other, so those like him and Huo Huang who already possessed such flames had a clear advantage here.
"Let's get started. I wonder how many Heaven and Earth Flames I'll be able to acquire in this secret realm," Su Jingzhen thought.
