Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1619 - Lineages Clashing

“You! Dao Xu, where’s your dignity as a Half-step Immortal King?” Jiang Tianyi’s fingers shook with fury. Without another word, he struck out with his palm.

“You want to fight me? It’s still too early for you!” Dao Xu countered with a palm strike; within the surging wind, countless immortal figures seemed to rise and ascend.

The two clashed. Jiang Tianyi took three steps back before steadying himself.

Dao Xu had actually pushed him back. His cultivation was above Jiang Tianyi.

“Damn it, Dao Xu, is your Heavenly Punishment lineage intent on fighting our Demon Suppression lineage?” Jiang Tianyi flew into a rage, but there was nothing he could do against Dao Xu. “Your lineage wields the authority of punishment. Chen Fan murdered his fellow disciples in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. That’s a fact. Fine, refuse to discipline your own if you must, but now you even dare obstruct me from capturing him and purging the demon within. This is beyond shameless!”

“Hahahaha, murdering fellow disciples? Demon possession? What a joke! Do you really think that I can’t see through your little scheme? Save your nonsense. If you want to fight, then come. With just the two of us, we can wipe out every last one of you.”

Wan Yimei also bared his fangs and said coldly, “You provoked this yourself, yet you still dare target the future pillar of our lineage? You must have grown tired of living.”

Chen Fan clicked his tongue in amazement. He had thought himself bold, but Dao Xu and Wan Yimei were even more ruthless. Facing Jiang Tianyi and the others, they were unyielding and welcomed a fight.

“War! War! From now on, the Demon Suppression lineage and Hua Alliance will take on your Heavenly Punishment lineage in an all-out war!” Jiang Tianyi roared furiously.

“Motherfucker! You don’t want to leave this place? If you really start a war, then I’ll kill every one of you here first.” Dao Xu stepped forward, intent on killing Jiang Tianyi and others on the spot.

Wan Yimei licked his lips, murderous excitement flashing across his face. “That’s right. Since you’re set on war, then die here. The Demon Suppression lineage trying to stand above us? A fatal mistake.”

“Kill!”

Above Dao Xu, endless immortal phantoms ascended once more. His aura exploded outward, terrifying and ancient, as if a primordial killing god had descended in a sea of blood.

Chen Fan stared with his mouth agape!

Were they really going to start a war and kill Jiang Tianyi’s group?

As Dao Xu’s and Wan Yimei’s law powers surged forward, Jiang Tianyi’s pupils shrank violently.

Although their side held the numerical superiority, he was the only Half-step Immortal King among them. The others were all in the Immortal Platform realm. Facing two Half-step Immortal Kings, they were no match at all. They wouldn’t survive long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

He hadn’t anticipated such absolute defiance, nor that war would be declared so decisively.

At that instant, a vast and oppressive immortal will descended like a raging tempest. It crashed down upon everyone present, forcibly suppressing their raging law powers. Groans rang out as blood trickled from the corners of mouths, bodies staggering backward.

“Audacious!

“Threatening violence within the sect, how unseemly!”

A majestic voice boomed like thunder in the crowd’s minds, buzzing.

“All of you, get to the Black Wind Cliff and face the wall for a hundred years to reflect on yourselves!”

Jiang Tianyi, Dao Xu, and the others’ expressions changed, but they didn’t dare to refute the voice. Wan Yimei patted Chen Fan’s shoulder and smiled. “Junior Brother, we’ll head to the Black Wind Cliff first.”

“Chen Fan, come to the Heavenly Palace!” That majestic voice echoed in Chen Fan’s ears, ordering him to go to the Featherlight Heavenly Palace. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Though he could not identify the speaker, such authority could only belong to someone of extraordinary standing. Most likely, the sect leader himself.

Featherlight Heavenly Palace, Golden Immortal Hall:

This was the deepest area in the Featherlight Heavenly Palace, where the elders held their meetings.

One master after another sat on the peaks of those mountains of pure Yang crystals. These were the true pillars of the Featherlight Sect, all Immortal Emperors whose existence sustained the sect across tens of thousands of years. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Heavenly Punishment Elder was among them as well, seated to the left of the sect leader.

On the right sat a man with a grim expression, his body exuding a chilling, baleful aura. He was the Demon Suppression Elder.

Within the Featherlight Sect, the Heavenly Punishment lineage enforced laws and discipline, while the Demon Suppression lineage guarded the passage to the Demon Realm and exterminated demons.

They were the two most critical lineages of the sect. Their authority was immense, and their strength was terrifying. And they despised one another.

Now, Chen Fan had become the perfect pretext for the Demon Suppression lineage to strike at their rivals.

An Immortal Emperor behemoth shouted, “Arrogant, how truly arrogant! This child has already become a demon. He’s no longer one of our sect’s immortals. In a million years since our founding, never has such a demonic disciple existed. He slaughtered fellow disciples in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Such a creature must be eradicated. What say you all?”

Another Immortal Emperor concurred agitatedly, “Elder Wang is right. This demon deserves imprisonment in the eighteenth layer of hell. Refusing to cooperate would have been bad enough, but he murdered his peers. Such inhumanity cannot be tolerated. Severe punishment is mandatory.”

A third Immortal Emperor sneered toward the Heavenly Punishment Elder. “Heavenly Punishment, I heard Chen Fan is your personal disciple. Hmph, it seems you’ve sat too long in your exalted position, letting your vision cloud. To take in a demon, then allow him to butcher his fellow disciples. Your judgment has failed, and you bear responsibility.”

An elder from the Heavenly Punishment lineage directly rebuked, “Quit your bullshit! Hmph, whether Chen Fan was the one who killed those trash in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm is still uncertain. Even if he did, they must have moved against Chen Fan first, in my opinion. He only defended himself.”

Another voice followed, sharp and cold. “Those individuals were dispatched into the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm by your Demon Suppression lineage at enormous cost. Perhaps your people lingered too long near the Demon Realm passage and were corrupted by demonic qi. Possessed, they attempted to kill Chen Fan. Sect Leader, I propose a thorough investigation of their lineage.”

“Indeed,” someone echoed. “They stand guard over the Demon Realm year-round. Demons may have infiltrated their ranks. We must scrutinize all of them. Better to kill a thousand by mistake than allow even one spy to escape.”

“Precisely. And the Hua Alliance, sheltered by the Demon Suppression lineage, has grown increasingly arrogant, behaving no differently from demonic cultivators. Their conduct has long stirred resentment throughout the sect.”

The elders of the Heavenly Punishment and Demon Suppression lineages clashed head-on, their faces and ears flushing red.
