Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Missed Opportunity_1
Upon receiving his good disciple’s letter, Daoist Buyu had already calculated everything.
Combat was inevitable, and although he could hold his ground against Great Yu Tribulation Cultivator for a while, it would be to his disadvantage in the long run.
The letter had already mentioned that powerful representatives of the imperial court and Five Great Immortal Sects were being dispatched. All he had to do was to erupt in a grand battle, attracting attention and hold on until they arrived to help.
“Elder Chen Tao,” Daoist Buyu looked up at the ongoing battle with Poxiao, feeling more assured.
The Luoshui Guards were a mechanism of the court specially designed to cope with Tribulation Cultivators and ancient monks. The most powerful among them were known as the “Nine Palaces”. Chen Tao, as the leader of the Nine Palaces, had unfathomable strength and realm.
When it came to seniority, Chen Tao was even more senior than Daoist Buyu’s master, a genuine old monster.
Sending Chen Tao made it clear how seriously the court regarded the Great Yu Monk.
“Ptui!” Daoist Buyu spat out a mouthful of blood, grimacing in pain as if his body was falling apart.
He had used Sword Qi to bolster his body and temporarily enhance his physical strength during the fight. Now, as the Sword Qi dispersed, his injuries flared up. Every orifice was bleeding. In a few breaths’ time, his clothes were drenched in blood, his entire body covered in it.
“That was quite a blow,” Daoist Buyu fumbled a few pieces of premium Great Pills out from his sleeve. These pills had Elixir Patterns on them and exuded the attractive fragrance of Elixirs, and he chugged them all at once.
His wounds gradually healed, much to his relief.
“Clean body, clean clothes.”
Daoist Buyu performed the cleansing spell for both the body and clothes. The blood disappeared, the clothes restored to their initial clean state, and his body felt light again.
“The pills from my Seventh Elder are really helpful.”
The Great Pills he just took were precious elixirs made by the Seventh Elder from the roots of the Little Medicinal Kings. They were of great value and not easily replaceable. They could even be showcased at the Unification-level auction as the show-stopping piece, they were that coveted.
It was common for Daoist Buyu to encounter danger while traveling, hence he always carried life-saving elixirs with him.
“Luoshui Guard Chen Tao?” Poxiao stared hard at the suddenly appeared old man, not daring to make any careless moves.
He sensed a deep threat from Chen Tao.
“Run!”
He mustn’t linger here; he needed to escape quickly!
“You think you can escape without our permission?” Another voice materialized behind Poxiao.
Poxiao spun around, only to discover another Tribulation Cultivator had joined the fray!
Down below, Daoist Buyu recognized this newcomer as another member of the Luoshui Guards’ Nine Palaces.
“The Luoshui Guards have three at Tribulation Cultivation Stage, and the court has dispatched two of them. They truly pulled out all the stops.” The more people there were, the happier Daoist Buyu became, as this reduced the chances of Poxiao escaping.
The newcomer did not give Poxiao the chance to react. The stellar Rune Laws were like a long river, flowing out of a void and converging into locks of laws. They attempted to capture Poxiao!
Poxiao saw the situation had turned critical. The runes were creating an endless stream, a sign of the opponent’s complete mastery over Talisman Cultivation. If these chains, weaved out by a Talisman Cultivator, were to bind him, he would not be able to escape in a short period.
He rocketed into the sky, trying to break free from the siege of the two Tribulation Cultivators.
“Think of running? Did you ask my Seek Dao Sect’s permission?” Uncle Ba’s voice appeared above Poxiao’s head, stepping down on him.
Uncle Ba stood at the Array Eye, forming a blockade at the highest point of Steadfast City, with Third Elder and others positioned at the Seven-star points.
The Seven Stars Guard, the North Star Array Method!
Poxiao did not engage in a fight with Uncle Ba and others. He invoked the Asura Body. An enraged Asura broke the space.
Just as he was about to slip into the space rift, a voice emanated from the rift.
“You think my Prison Suppressing Sect is non-existent?”
Many ancient beasts emerged from the space rift, such as Emperor Jiang, Golden Winged Roc, and Chaos, presenting ferocious faces with teeth bared, their giant bodies as big as mountains, emitting a terrifying aura from the ancient times!
Eight powerful beings, their bodies marked with these ancient beast patterns, walked out from the space rift.
The War Patterns cultivation method of the Prison Suppressing Sect!
“My Five Elements Sect…”
“From the Laurel Fairy Palace…”
“From the Suspension Temple…”
Only one person from Suspension Temple was dispatched, and he was the Supervisor of the Suspension Temple, whose fighting power was not inferior to Qiu Jin’an’s!
Also, there were civil and military officials sent by the court. Each of them was full of fighting spirit, rubbing their fists and wiping their palms in anticipation.
The two Luoshui Guards with the highest cultivation level in the Nine Palaces were the fastest to arrive. Soon after, the unification stage cultivators from the Five Great Immortal Sects came to the sky above Steadfast City in succession, closing off the city completely.
All in all, there were actually more than forty cultivators at the unification stage who had arrived here.
These unification stage cultivators were all from the Five Great Immortal Sects, and any one of them pulled out at random was stronger than an ordinary unification stage cultivator.
With two out of Nine Palaces and the unification stage of Immortal Sects combined, even Wu Youdao and his party would have no choice but to take a beating if they dare to make a move.
Even if Wu Youdao and his companions received the support of the national destiny of Wild State, and Wu Youdao’s Dragon and Tiger Qi transformed, they still wouldn’t be able to fight these people!
The court and Immortal Sects had moved a large number of people to sweep any potential danger in Ji State to prevent incidents like that of Hanshui City from happening again!
It could be said that as long as a Great Yu monk dared to show his face, he would be jointly attacked by the righteous.
Daoist Buyu wouldn’t dare to show himself for the same reason.
The people of Steadfast City had never witnessed such a spectacle. They couldn’t distinguish between the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and the Unification Stage. They didn’t even know that any of the cultivators here were all stronger than the City Lord of Steadfast City.
The City Lord of Steadfast City was only in the Refining the Void stage.
Nevertheless, the scene did not stop them from becoming excited and cheering. They had been tormented by the rules established by Asura Body Poxiao for too long. A slight violation would mean facing the threat of death, and they lived each day very cautiously.
“Boss, I’ll be going first. We’ll meet again.” Daoist Buyu said goodbye to the completely stunned teahouse owner.
The teahouse owner was actually a cultivator, but his cultivation level was not high. He had opened a pub in Steadfast City to pass the time.
He could vaguely judge that the cultivation levels of these cultivators were higher than the City Lord, and they were top powers in the Cultivation World.
In nearly a hundred years, there had not been such a large number of powerful cultivators attacking together. Until now, he could hardly believe the scene he was witnessing.
“Ah, you’re leaving?” The teahouse owner wanted to keep Daoist Buyu. Just now, Daoist Buyu spoke as if he was prepared to die, looking like he was ready to fight Asura Body Poxiao. So why was he leaving now that Hanshui City had been saved?
“If I don’t leave now, I won’t be able to leave at all.” Daoist Buyu didn’t explain too much to the teahouse owner. He escaped as everyone’s attention was focused on Asura Body Poxiao.
“Catch him alive!” Chen Tao gave his command, only he was the first one to take action.
He bit his fingertip and drops of golden blood flew out, transforming into divine weaponry, raining down towards Asura Body Poxiao like a shower curtain.
“It’s been a long time since we saw Senior Brother Chen Tao’s hundred refinements of divine weapons!” The Immortal Sects sighed with emotion and took action together with Chen Tao. They attacked Asura Body Poxiao with various methods, leaving him powerless to fight back.
Asura Body Poxiao was filled with despair. He was finally caught by the laws transformed into chains of runes, and he was unable to mobilize any of his cultivation level.
“Finally caught one!” Chen Tao sneered. So far, the Great Yu monks had always been caught by the Seek Dao Sect. Now, it was finally the court’s turn.
“By the way, where did the cultivator who was evenly matched with Asura Body go earlier?”
When Chen Tao arrived, his attention was entirely on Asura Body Poxiao and he didn’t notice who was fighting Asura Body Poxiao.
“Ask the City Lord, he must have seen it.” Uncle Ba proposed.
Under the scrutiny of a group of powerful cultivators with much higher cultivation levels than his own, the City Lord was shivering with terror. He ended up drawing a face that everyone was very familiar with.
“Damn it, we let Daoist Buyu escape!”
Everyone was agitated at their missed opportunity as if they had lost a chance of a lifetime.
If Daoist Buyu were here, what an excellent chance for revenge it would be!
“Torture Asura Body Poxiao severely. Without him, Daoist Buyu would have escaped!”
Asura Body Poxiao: “…”
Didn’t they say that the cultivators of Great Xia used to get along peacefully? It didn’t look like it.
