Chapter 1639: Chapter 1375: Secrets Hidden in the Dark Prison
“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals truly devours people without leaving bones!” Thinking about the seventy thousand contribution points he painstakingly saved being wiped out in an instant, Kou Hong’s eyes turned blood red, unable to suppress the piercing pain in his heart.
“Why did we lose our minds back then and choose to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?” Even the usually calm Dao Xuanzi could no longer pose himself.
“Let’s defect to the Five Elders Organization! We must make the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals pay the price!”
The two reached an agreement. After leaving the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City, they quietly headed toward the Five Elders’ Territory.
However, they failed to remember one significant fact.
Though the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals publicly claimed they did not restrict the personal freedom of their members—even allowing those who regret joining to quit and defect to the Five Elders Organization without explicit prohibition—
everything obtained within the Alliance must be relinquished.
Thus, as soon as the two showed signs of defection, a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Law Enforcement Hall was dispatched to pursue them.
Sensing the powerful aura behind, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi’s expressions slightly darkened.
Even as they hastened their pace, the chasm between their realms, as vast as the Abyss of Heaven, could not possibly be bridged. Before long, their pursuer intercepted them.
“You wish to throw yourselves into the arms of the Five Elders Organization—I won’t intervene. But the two Golden Core Techniques you redeemed, they must be reclaimed.”
“One is the [Thousand Dragons Transformation], and the other is the [Recollection Sword Decree],” the Nascent Soul cultivator stated flatly.
Hearing this, Kou Hong was nearly driven to vomit blood. His body trembled as he pointed and cursed furiously, “What kind of bullshit reasoning is this?! Our contribution points vanish inexplicably, and no one cares. Fine, so be it. But now you want to take away the techniques we painstakingly exchanged for with our points?!”
The Nascent Soul cultivator sneered coldly, “The techniques of the Immortal Alliance belong to the Alliance. You have merely exchanged for their usage rights. Now that you clearly intend to aid our enemies, should we just let you provide our techniques to the Five Elders Organization? Sparing your wretched lives has already shown the Alliance’s mercy!”
Upon hearing this, Kou Hong let out a furious roar. The resentment and indignation in his chest burst forth, and he spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Fury of the Flame Dragon!”
In an instant, a scarlet wyrm appeared in the sky, blazing with intense flames, exuding unbearable heat, and wrapping itself around the Nascent Soul cultivator!
United in resolve, Kou Hong attacked without hesitation, and Dao Xuanzi didn’t falter even for a second.
With a single thought, over thirty decayed sword shadows, as if from different epochs, emerged abruptly in the air.
The sword shadows howled, carrying an aged and freezing aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding space.
The Nascent Soul cultivator raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the power the two were capable of manifesting.
“What a pity,” he lamented internally, “the rules of the Alliance cannot be defied.”
Facing the bined assault of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, the Nascent Soul cultivator merely smirked coldly.
High above the sky, a black sun-like Cave Heaven phantom suddenly materialized.
The fiery wyrm’s blazing Crimson Flame was instantly extinguished, and the thirty-plus sword shadows could no longer maintain their balance. They were drawn uncontrollably toward the black ring-shaped Cave Heaven in the sky.
Once they entered the Cave Heaven, they vanished without a trace.
The difference in power between the Golden Core Mirror and the Nascent Soul Realm was insurmountable. While Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi may have had some luck, they remained ordinary beings among the multitudes of the world, without the fortuitous encounters necessary to bridge such a gap.
“Since you remain obstinate, don’t blame me—Chu—for being ruthless,” the Nascent Soul cultivator declared coldly.
The black ring-shaped Cave Heaven began to bear down, ready to suppress the two pletely.
Overwhelmed by the Nascent Soul’s oppressive aura, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were frozen in place, unable to move, helplessly watching death loom closer.
Just then, a resolute glint flashed in Dao Xuanzi’s eyes.
“Dao Xuan!”
A crisp and chilling shout suddenly echoed. A rust-covered long sword appeared before Dao Xuanzi, its tip aimed straight at the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Alliance.
A trace of astonishment flickered in the Nascent Soul cultivator’s eyes.
At that moment, countless points of light emerged from Dao Xuanzi’s body, resembling a sky full of stars. They shimmered faintly for a brief moment before converging onto the rusted Daoist Mystic Sword.
Each star-like gleam repaired the corroded long sword.
At that moment, Dao Xuanzi and the Taoist Mystic Sword became one!
A supreme ancient divine weapon finally revealed its true form.
“Run!” Dao Xuanzi’s urgent voice rang in Kou Hong’s ear.
The next thing Kou Hong saw was a dazzling sword light seemingly splitting heaven and earth apart.
Amid thunderous roars, the black ring-shaped Cave Heaven emitted a faint white radiance as it shattered inch by inch.
Yet the momentum of the Daoist Mystic Sword remained undiminished.
Seizing the final moments of his life, Dao Xuanzi directed the sword toward the direction of the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City.
“Dao Xuanzi!”
With the destruction of the Nascent Soul cultivator’s Cave Heaven, Kou Hong regained his mobility. Tears filled his eyes as grief engulfed him. He knew that Dao Xuanzi had sacrificed his own life to save him.
With the Nascent Soul cultivator dead, the Immortal Alliance would undoubtedly send stronger pursuers.
Kou Hong knew he could not linger. He wiped away the tears and sped toward the Five Elders’ Territory.
“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals…” Kou Hong whispered through gritted teeth.
“Just you wait!”
“I will grow stronger! I will have my revenge!”
Burning with the flames of vengeance in his eyes, Kou Hong was on the brink of crossing the border.
A radiant light suddenly shot from the horizon, piercing through Kou Hong’s body.
“…”
Kou Hong opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a word. His head was severed, blood gushing like a fountain.
Only then did the radiance reveal its true form—a flowing water-like long sword.
One strike, beheading its target!
The figure of a young cultivator in the black robes of the Law Enforcement Hall gradually appeared.
“Two mere Golden Core cultivators, yet you couldn’t handle them. Useless fools. Deserved to die!” The young cultivator spat disdainfully, sparing no glance at Kou Hong’s corpse.
“Strange, where did that sword disappear to? And the unexplained disappearance of the contribution points… could it really be the work of the Five Elders Organization?” Mumbling to himself, the young cultivator vanished.
