Chapter 330: Chaos
The entire scene was completely silent.
Not only were the low-grade cultivators on the plaza stunned beyond belief, all of the Blaze Dragon Dao cultivators situated on the stone steps were also astonished by what they were seeing.
A hint of blue light flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he was able to see everything that had just taken place.
The golden rune released by Xiao Jinhan was very elusive, able to completely ignore that attack from Daoist Hu Yan, but it was nullified by the streak of transparent swordlight released by Luo Qinghai.
Officially speaking, the Immortal Palace was the dominant power in the Northern Glacial Immortal Region, but it clearly had some differences with the Vast Flow Palace. At the very least, Luo Qinghai didn't seem to have been a fan of Xiao Jinhan.
High up in the sky, Xiao Jinhan took a cold glance at Luo Qinghai, and his expression remained unchanged as he swooped down directly toward the white jade platform from above.
Meanwhile, Luo Qinghai slowly withdrew his right hand, which was concealed up his sleeve,then turned around and sat back down onto his golden throne.
The giant blue flower that he was situated on remained hovering in the sky, and he still wasn't displaying any intention of departing. The dozen or so blue-robed cultivators standing on the giant flower with him also appeared to have been just as calm and collected as he was.
Before Xiao Jinhan was able to descend upon the white jade platform, a draconic roar abruptly rang out, and scorching flames erupted out of Baili Yan's eyes as he curled his fingers up into the claws, then abruptly lashed out at the golden cage before him.contemporary romance
Crimson flames rose up from his claws, then rose up to form a peculiar draconic head, which blasted a pillar of fire out of its mouth to strike a certain part of the golden cage.
An earth-shattering boom rang out as one of the pillars of the golden cage was swallowed up by the draconic head's cavernous mouth.
Golden runes were constantly flying out of the scorching flames, while the pillar was warping and twisting until it finally snapped.
The destruction of that one pillar caused a chain reaction, and all of the other golden pillars quickly shattered one after another, causing the entire golden cage to collapse.
A burst of dazzling golden light erupted forth on the white jade platform, following which several dozen draconic head projections flew in all directions, releasing a tremendously powerful aura as they did so.
Specks of golden light arose in the air, and immediately thereafter, the light barrier that enshrouded the entire mountain was completely destroyed amid a resounding boom.
Half of the white jade platform down below was also destroyed, and the eight dao lords who were previously holding the golden cage together hurriedly summoned protective treasures as a defensive measure, but they were still sent flying back involuntarily.
Several of them were struck by the draconic head projections, and the light barriers formed by their protective treasures were instantly destroyed, causing them to tumble down from the platform while throwing up large mouthfuls of blood.
Meanwhile, Daoist Hu Yan arrived by Yun Ni's side in a flash, warding off several oncoming draconic head projections while sweeping her down from the white jade platform with him.
Even though there were around a dozen dao lords acting as a buffer, the 36 deputy dao lords were still sent flying in all directions from the shockwaves of the explosion that had just taken place, but they took advantage of this to fly further away.
All of the cultivators on the stone steps also dispersed in a panic, flying away in all directions as quickly as they could. No one wanted to be the first person to try and flee for fear of being struck down by the Immortal Palace's cultivators, but now that the entire scene had erupted into complete pandemonium, an opportunity had arisen for everyone to get away.
Han Li and Qi Liang also fled the scene in a certain direction with the crowd.
Countless loose rocks were exploding in all directions, much to the alarm of the hundreds of thousands of low-grade cultivators gathered around the plaza, and they also hurriedly summoned their protective treasures while fleeing as quickly as they could.
All of a sudden, countless streaks of light of different colors were flying in all directions from the White Jade Peak, presenting a marvelous spectacle to behold.
In the sky above, Luo Qinghai made a hand seal to conjure up a blue water barrier that encompassed the entire giant blue flower, and the water barrier merely shuddered momentarily in the face of the shockwaves before settling down again.
On the other side, Deputy Palace Master Xue Ying of the Immortal Palace swept a sleeve through the air to conjure up a semi-transparent protective barrier around the silver chariot, then cast her gaze toward Luo Qinghai.
However, Luo Qinghai appeared to have been completely oblivious to her scrutiny, looking as calm and collected as ever.
As for Xiao Jinhan, he paid no heed to the oncoming shockwaves at all, and he wasn't slowing down in the slightest as he continued to swoop down from above.
Another loud explosion rang out as a vast expanse of glacial qi erupted out of Xiao Jinhan's body, and a giant white mountain of ice appeared in the sky amid a cloud of white mist, then crashed down onto the white jade platform with devastating might.
Half of the platform had already collapsed, and under the tremendous weight and momentum of the mountain of ice, the rest of the platform also fell away without being able to offer much resistance.
Meanwhile, Han Li had already flown out of the White Jade Peak and was observing the unfolding scene from afar.
Loose rocks and chunks of ice had already piled up into a huge mountain in that direction, presenting a chaotic sight to behold.
Right at this moment, burst of crimson light suddenly appeared beneath the rubble, and immediately thereafter, a sharp clang rang out as a pillar of crimson flames that was around as thick as an adult human arm erupted directly upward from the wreckage before sweeping vertically over the area to slice the mountain of ice and rocks in half down the middle.
A loud roar then rang out as Baili Yan flew out of the mountain of ice with crimson flames surging all of his body, and he was flying directly toward Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Jinhan summoned a translucent longsword, around which was a band of white mist that resembled a coiled snake, and he slashed the sword in Baili Yan's direction.
The cloud up above churned violently as hundreds of giant white pythons formed by glacial qi twisted and writhed, descending upon Baili Yan like a flight of formidable dragons.
Baili Yan let loose another thunderous roar, and he lashed out with a longsword that was enveloped in crimson flames, slashing it horizontally through the air.
A scorching aura swept through the air as hundreds of giant pillars of flames emerged out of thin air to combat the glacial pythons.
A burst of rumbling akin to a dull thunderclap rang out in the sky as snow and ice clashed with devastating force, and each side was taking up half of the sky.
Meanwhile, the plaza had already erupted into complete chaos.
High up in the sky, Xue Ying suddenly asked in an accusatory voice, "Are you trying to stand against our Immortal Palace, Palace Master Mo?"
Only then did Luo Qinghai finally turn to Xue Ying as he replied in a casual voice, "What are you talking about, Celestial Maiden Xue? I'm only spectating with a few of my disciples, and I don't wish to play any part in the conflict between your Immortal Palace and the Blaze Dragon Dao."
Xue Ying offered no response to this, instead turning to a pair of cultivators beside her as she instructed, "Lu Yue, Dong Jie, take everyone and go and keep an eye on Daoist Hu Yan."
The two cultivators immediately heeded the order, setting off with all of the other cultivators situated on the chariot.
"I'll be going ahead, Palace Master Luo," Xue Ying said as she stowed the silver chariot away before flying off in pursuit of Xiao Jinhan and Baili Yan as a streak of white light.
……
At this point, the plaza around the White Jade Peak was already severely ravaged and littered with lifeless bodies.
Daoist Hu Yan was hovering in mid-air with Yun Ni beside him, and both of them were watching the battle taking place between Baili Yan and Xiao Jinhan.
Right at this moment, a huge black ax projection descended out of the sky, releasing a burst of tremendous suction force that caused the surrounding space to twist and warp.
Daoist Hu Yan seemed to have already anticipated this as he took a step forward and dragged Yun Ni closer to his side, evading the attack with ease.
After missing its target, the giant ax projection crashed down onto the ground with an earth-shattering boom, slicing a massive, bottomless trench that was over 10,000 feet in length into the ground on the plaza.
Many of the low-grade cultivators who hadn't been able to get away yet were swept up by the attack, perishing on the spot before they even had a chance to cry out.
Immediately thereafter, the man by the name of Dong Jie raised his enormous mountain-splitting ax with both hands before swinging it down once again.
At the same time, the seven Immortal Palace cultivators, led by Dong Jie, suddenly appeared around the plaza to surround Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni.
Earlier, they had somehow managed to conceal their cultivation bases, and at this moment, all of them were giving off Golden Immortal Stage spiritual pressure. In particular, Lu Yue and Dong Jie's aura's indicated that they were at the mid-Golden Immortal Stage.
They held no regard for the safety of the people who still hadn't yet managed to escape from the plaza, and they summoned a whole host of formidable treasures to rain down a ferocious barrage of attacks.
The entire space was trembling violently as countless anguished cries rang out from all directions, with deaths and casualties piling up by the second.
A complex look appeared on Ouyang Kuishan's face as he took a glance at the chaotic scene unfolding on the plaza, and he turned to the dao lords beside him as he instructed, "Evacuate our sect's disciples and try to save as many of them as possible."
Even though they had been struck by the shockwaves from when Baili Yan broke free from the cage, they remained largely unscathed, and they immediately dispersed, calling upon some of the deputy dao lords and True Immortal Stage elders who were still on the scene, and together, they began evacuating the Blaze Dragon Dao's low-grade disciples from around the plaza in batches.
At the center of the plaza, Yun Ni conjured up her snow lotus flower projection to encompass both herself and Daoist Hu Yan.
Countless attacks were raining down incessantly upon the snow lotus flower projection, and its petals were constantly trembling, looking as if they weren't going to be able to hold up for much longer.
Meanwhile, Daoist Hu Yan summoned a black pagoda treasure, then tapped a finger against it, instantly conjuring up a black pagoda projection that encompassed the snow lotus flower projection around them.
A string of loud clangs rang out as the oncoming attacks struck the pagoda projection, while Daoist Hu Yan turned to Yun Ni with a pained look in his eyes. "I have my reasons for why I must follow Dao Lord Baili, and that's why I helped him, but you don't know anything about that, and you could've easily chosen to save yourself, so why have you gotten yourself involved in this mess?"
