Chapter 111: Chapter 19: The Crisis of the Raven Sect

Translator: 549690339

It was July, a deep blue sky harboring a ball of fire: the sun. The clouds seemed to have been melted by the sun, inviting themselves a disappearance without a trace.

The sunlight streamed into the tree-filled area, but what used to be a lush green forest now harbored many uninvited guests wearing black cloaks, each emblazoned with the pattern of a black crow.

“Respected Saintess, our base in the capital has been destroyed by the Imperial

Court of Xia Country. Now, where should we go?”

A faithful raven cultist knelt before a silver-haired woman.

It was none other than the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect, Yin Nanyu.

Her skin under the cloak was smooth and white, her eyes were beautiful yet indifferent. She replied indifferently: “Head south, we still have a chance.”

” yes'. ”

Thinking for a moment, Yin Nanyu looked towards the burning sun, squinting her eyes, a glimmer of determination flashed through her eyes.

Indeed, she knew that even if they returned to the south, the ravens would have a hard time.

The Raven Sect was now being hunted by Xia Country, and the government offices in all states and counties were investigating vigorously.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, and with the death of King Qin, the Xia Country had stabilized again, focusing its full heart and soul on eradicating the ravens. This time, they turned the capital city upside down, not missing a trace of them.

Batch after batch of ministers were executed; any official with suspicious activities was taken into custody, and most of their spies were also removed.

If it wasn't for the early warning about the blockade of the city gate, they probably wouldn't even have been able to leave the capital city.

The Raven Sect ultimately couldn't withstand the operation of the Xia Country's machine and lost to it.

However, the pride in her heart that she was unsurpassed had not been extinguished.

As long as they temporarily hid and continued to wait for an opportunity, the ravens might gain a momentum again.

Compared to before, the Raven Sect's power has significantly increased. Given time, it could potentially become a major force.

Suddenly, the ground of the dense forest transmitted a series of vibrations.

The sound of “rumbling” came from a distance.

A subordinate prostrated on the ground and listened for a moment before exclaiming in panic:

“Respected Saintess, the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry and the cold-faced halberdiers of Xia Country have caught up with us!”

“We're surrounded!”

Yin Nanyu furrowed her brows, doubtful: “How is this possible? We left the city discreetly this time, and with the secret information of the spies, how could they have tracked us down?”

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility: “Could it be…a fake report?”

A raven spy leaked information, saying that there was a small road that was absolutely safe and free of blockades.

Looking back now, it was likely a fake report leaked by Xia Country, in order to ensnare and capture them all here.

“Respected Saintess, what do we do now?” a few high-ranking sect members hastily asked.

“Prepare for battle!”

Yin Nanyu announced calmly.

Upon receiving the order, hundreds of Raven Sect members immediately spread out in a circle.

Yin Nanyu's eyes were as cold as ice, and she released a silvery radiance of True Vigor throughout her body.

Hundreds of Raven Sect members knelt together, muttering incantations.

Circles of formations rose from the ground, their faint golden light was extremely dazzling and they formed a solid wall.

“Finally found them.”

Outside the forest, a tall and powerful black-armored general looked at the light rising from the forest with great joy and tightened his reins.

“Don't let any of them escape.”

A Taoist-robed youth, hovering in the sky, said calmly.

It was Xu Muchen, the gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect. “Understood! We owe a lot to the senior for this mission.'

The leading general nodded politely, looking extremely reverent.

The gatekeeper of the Limitless Immortal Sect coming out in person this time was something utterly unexpected.

Generally, the Immortal Sect did not intervene in the Mortal World unless something particularly severe happened.

This showed just how evil and detestable the ravens were, and they had to be completely eradicated!

“Close the encirclement, mobilize forces, and prevent them from breaking out!”

The black-armored general loudly proclaimed, issuing a military order right away.

The surrounding soldiers were all wearing dark red elite armor, each mounted on a large horse, its hair blood-red. These were the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry of Xia Country, subordinate to the emperor's personal army; these horses were all raised on the blood of spirit beasts and had all mutated.

The front row was filled with soldiers wearing iron ghost masks, each carrying a large halberd, armed to the teeth, and emanated an ominous aura.

As the surrounding armies slowly approached.

Suddenly, a beam of azure light shot up in the sky.

It separated and fired a large number of light bombs, bombarding the Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry and the cold-faced halberdiers.

“Bang!”

The light bomb exploded on the ground, and a raging fire started, including the surrounding trees; the entire forest abruptly went up in flames.

The soldiers who were hit were directly blown into a bloody mist, and a large number of soldiers fell, making the losses extremely heavy.

“Sound the horn! Charge!”

The black-armored general naturally wanted to stop the losses from increasing, so he instantly ordered to sound the buckhorn for charge.

The Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry, fearless to death, charged straight ahead, holding a long spear, and rushed forward.

Although the power of the light bomb was enormous, it was still limited in number. The Iron Cavalry took advantage of the gap in time to charge into Raven's camp.

But there was a solid wall of light blocking their way. Following closely behind, Xu Muchen casually waved a hand, dissipated an incoming light ball, and looked at the obstruction in front of him, saying indifferently:

“Amateurish tricks.”

Green light converged in his palm, and a long spiritual sword appeared abruptly.

With a swing of his hand, a hundred-meter-long green sword qi burst out. It took only a moment for the protective shield to shatter, frail as if it were paper.

Without the protection of the light wall, the spearheads of the iron cavalry men projected a chilling glow.

In a simple confrontation, they had already killed dozens of Raven Sect cultists, decapitating them and hung their heads on their horses.

If not for the guidance of Yin Nanyu, most of these cultist believers are ordinary people, and only a minority of the high-ranking cultivators among them would be able to resist.

“Release the arrows!”

The black-armored general raised his arm and shouted. The Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry soldiers around him, who had already made a few attempts at charging, held crossbows in their hands and shot a rain of bolts at the remaining sect followers.

A rain of thousands of arrows descended like a tide, overwhelming the Raven Sect followers, who could not resist and were pierced by sharp swords, dying on the spot.

Xu Muchen ignored the battle between the cultist followers around him.

Instead, he raised his sword, strode through the air, and stood in front of the Holy Maiden of the Raven Sect.

Even when facing a Golden Core Realm cultivator, Yin Nanyu's fair face remained extremely calm as she asked gravely:

“Doesn't the Limitless Immortal Sect fear divine punishment for interfering in the human world?”

Xu Muchen's expression didn't change, and he said flatly, “In ancient times, including the Crow Immortal, all demons were mortal enemies of the Immortal Sect. You, as remnants of them, are naturally doomed.”

“History, written by the victors, is but a petty thing,” said Yin Nanyu, her voice cold.

Xu Muchen wasn't about to waste his words with this bewitching woman. One slash of his sword would do.

The seven years he had guarded were never as strenuous as these few days.

The splash of sword qi was like light, and a sword wielding all the power of the Golden Core was slashed down directly.

In Yin Nanyu's hand, a statue of the Crow Immortal emerged, emitting a faint light, perfectly blocking this attack.

“Such audacity, the continuation of the Immortal Sect is not something your heretical cult can touch!”

Xu Muchen's eyes narrowed and he said this coldly. Then, the big sleeve of his

Taoist robe fluttered and a dazzling Golden Core appeared in front of his chest.

Yin Nanyu cut her wrist with a small knife, allowing the blood to drip out, and then prayed with both hands devoutly:

“Lord Crow Immortal, call down divine punishment and judge these ignorant heretics!”

After these words, the silvery-blue glow around her body suddenly intensified, and the blood dripped onto the Crow Immortal statue she carried, causing it to rise.

An invisible force pushed outwards.

The corpses of the fallen cult followers on the ground began to rise one by one, with dense black symbols spreading all over their bodies.

Despite their loss of heads, they stood up eerily. A gruesome spectacle to behold.

These corpses lunged towards the Iron Cavalry. With a leap, they flew a dozen meters high and with one plunge, they clawed out the heart of an Iron Cavalry soldier.

At the same time, the aura around Yin Nanyu was rapidly rising.

She was absorbing the power of faith stored in the statue, transforming it into a steady stream of cultivation power. An aura of threat spread out.

Seeing this, Xu Muchen thought to himself that it wasn't good. He had already sensed a hint of the Golden Core's aura from her.

Therefore, he raised his sword to attack again.

In her panic, Yin Nanyu raised her hand, barely managed to deflect this sword, but her face turned paler.

Each use of the power of faith required her to consume her own vitality and essence.

The opponent's strength was too formidable, causing her vital energy to deplete rapidly.

“Humph, the might of the Golden Core, how could you imitators ever compare?”

Xu Muchen mobilized his Golden Core. A dazzling golden light spread over every pattern on his sword. He looked like a god, utterly powerful.

This sword embodied the power of the Golden Core, capable of splitting mountains and rivers.

Yin Nanyu held the Crow Immortal statue, struggling to hold on.

However, soon, cracks appeared all over the pottery Crow Immortal statue.

With her energy drained, Yin Nanyu's delicate body was blown back, her cloak lifted, exposing a stunningly beautiful face and a head of silvery hair fluttering in the wind.

Right before she landed, she was caught by one of the high-ranking cult followers, but the recoil was so powerful that they both fell to the ground.

“Pfft.”

After this sword strike, a mouthful of fresh blood came out of Yin Nanyu's mouth. The light around her body had dimmed to its limit, and she was on the verge of exhaustion.

Her face turned pale and she fell to the ground. The few remaining followers behind her surrounded her and helped her up. “Respected Saintess, you go first. We'll hold them back.”

“Great Crow Immortal! Give us strength!”

They sacrificed all of their lives, turning it all into cultivation power, greatly enhancing their strength to fend off Xu Muchen's attack.

Xu Muchen watched the few followers whose strength had suddenly exploded, and frowned.

Each of them detonated their qi Sea one after another and pounced towards Xu Muchen.

They were nearly suicidal, only trying to buy time.

The power of a Qi Sea explosion was terrifying and required anyone to give it thought. Xu Muchen had to temporarily avoid the onslaught by riding on his sword.

At this moment, the Dragon Blood Cavalry soldiers around them raised their long spears, all pointing towards Yin Nanyu's pale jade neck.

Yin Nanyu kept her face cold, gently flicking her sleeve, and shot out a cold qi of true vigor, sending several Iron Cavalry men off their feet.

Looking at the high-ranking followers who were devoted and ready to die in her service, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and, without any more hesitation, a black raven totem on her smooth articulated collarbone started to flash faintly.

Wrapped in a ball of black light, Yin Nanyu turned into a meteorite and shot directly towards the sky.
