670: Chapter 211_3 670: Chapter 211_3 Soon, flames surged to the sky throughout Sky Plum City.
In the city, figures of Demonic Cultivators filled with Demonic Qi appeared, unleashing Divine Skills as if venting their wrath, bombarding the direction of the city center in a frenzy.
In a moment, buildings collapsed, and the ground constantly exploded, with bursts of flames and thunder descending from the heavens.
Among the civilians of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty within the city, some were crushed by falling buildings, others perished in the sea of flames, or were directly hit by the Divine Skills, instantly turning into a cloud of dust.
Yet more were just affected by the overflow of power and were blasted into severe injuries, issuing agonized screams.
And those Demonic Cultivators, hearing the agonized screams of these people, were even more excited, shouting frantically and delighting in the chaos they had caused.
Near Sky Plum City, there was no shortage of mountains.
The most famous of these was Sky Plum Mountain, which, while not the tallest in the region, was the most abundant in Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, the only Immortal Sect in the region, Celestial Plum Sect, was located on Sky Plum Mountain!
The Celestial Plum Sect was not large; all the members of the sect together did not even number one hundred.
At the summit of Sky Plum Mountain, Qiao Jingyao noticed the sudden blaze in Sky Plum City in the distance, along with the faint Demonic Qi that could be heard, and an expression of anger immediately crossed her beautiful face.
“Demonic Qi, those Demonic Cultivators are here again.
They hold a grudge against the Grand Preceptor and against all the Immortal Sects of our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
They could seek vengeance against the various Immortal Sects, but why harm these civilians, these mortals?
Master, wait for me; your Disciple will go down the mountain now and eradicate these Demonic Cultivators!”
This was her home, and although she was a Cultivator, she had much interaction with these mortals.
Unlike many other sects, her Celestial Plum Sect did not prohibit mortals from entering.
Even though those mortals had no aptitude for cultivation, she would still chat and converse with them when they came to the Celestial Plum Sect.
Having cultivated for many years, her constant contact with mortals had convinced her she was not so different from them.
In fact, she had formed deep bonds with some of these mortals.
But just two days ago, those Demonic Cultivators suddenly appeared, slaughtering the civilians of Sky Plum City.
Although she had rushed there as soon as she discovered the attack, she was too late.
A large number of Sky Plum City’s residents died under the Demonic Cultivators’ blades, including two whom she knew well.
And now, only two days later, those Demonic Cultivators had returned to this place!
Around her, one after another, Disciples of the Celestial Plum Sect heard the news and began to shout: “Senior Sister, are you going to kill those Demon Heads?”
“Senior Sister, let us go too!”
“Yes, I want to go too, I want to exterminate all those Demon Heads.”
“They’re too detestable, they even killed Little Hu!”
Qiao Jingyao turned to look at her junior brothers and sisters and shook her head gently, “Listen to me.
Continue with your cultivation in the sect.
Your Senior Sister promises to avenge them; not one of these Demon Heads will escape.”
No sooner had her words fallen when a loud boom echoed from below the mountain gate; amid the thunderous noise, Sky Plum Mountain itself began to shake.
Qiao Jingyao’s face changed dramatically: “This is an attack on the Mountain Protection Array, there’s an intrusion at our Celestial Plum Sect!”
Without wasting another moment on her junior brothers and sisters, Qiao Jingyao revealed six fantastical Golden Cores behind her, hurrying towards the mountain base.
While she was still in flight, explosions echoed through the air again, and the sky shook violently.
An earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted, so loud that it gave the illusion that Sky Plum Mountain itself had completely burst open at that moment.
At the same time, a plume of smoke and dust rose to the sky at the foot of the mountain, completely obscuring part of the horizon.
“The Mountain Protection Array has been breached!”
In her horror, Qiao Jingyao sped towards the mountain base, but an arrogant voice had already sounded through the air.
“This thing dares to call itself a Mountain Protection Array?
I’ve never seen such a pathetic excuse for a protection array.”
“What is this supposed to be?”
“Haha, this tiny Immortal Sect even has Golden Core Stage Cultivators.”
“Oh, look, here come two old men, both at the Golden Core Stage, and both at the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage.”
At the base of Sky Plum Mountain, the Mountain Protection Array had been completely shattered, and the mountain gate itself was blown open.
A group of black-robed Demonic Cultivators, seething with Demonic Qi, burst into the Celestial Plum Sect.
It was clear they were invading someone else’s sect, yet they acted as carelessly as if they were in their own backyard, showing no regard for the sect’s inhabitants.
Cultivators generally do not have an unpleasant appearance, whether due to the subtle transformation under the influence of cultivation or other reasons.
The same was true of Demonic Cultivators.
However, among this group, there was one skinny man with a pointy chin and shifty eyes, who pointed to two old men flying in from the Celestial Plum Sect and laughed scornfully, “Golden Core at the seventh level, so impressive, truly so impressive.
I’m only at the sixth level of the Golden Core, and they’re far more formidable than me.
What should I do, I’m so scared, really scared.
These are seventh-level Golden Cores; they have one more Golden Core than me.
Among us, except for Shaoze Senior Brother, no one else has more Golden Cores than they have, it’s really frightening.”
