Chapter 159: Crazy Expansion

Chapter 159: Crazy Expansion

Two True Monarchs in the Soul Transformation realm inexplicably disappeared.

It sounds like a fantasy.

But it happened so mysteriously.

Since the fall of the Blue Feather Immortal Sage, Dugu Xi and Dugu Shi would annually compete in the Tian Du Martial Arena for the ownership of the "Heavenly Feather Transformation Technique."

For many years, they had not determined a winner.

Each time, it attracted numerous cultivators to come and watch, becoming a spectacle in the Yuandao Prefecture. Many cultivators from other provinces also came, eager to witness the grand battle between the two Soul Transformation True Monarchs.

However, this year, on the agreed-upon day for their grand battle in the Tian Du Martial Arena, not a single figure was seen.

People waited for a long time, but Dugu Xi and Dugu Shi did not appear.

Initially, some thought there might be a change in the schedule, and the cultivators did not think much of it. It wasn't until a few days later that shocking news spread.

Relatives and subordinates of the two tried various methods but could not contact them. Even the Hall of Heavenly Secrets failed to find any trace of them through divination.

As if they had vanished into thin air, no one saw them alive or dead!

The most shaken was the Blue Feather Sect.

The disappearance of the two top powerhouses left the internal atmosphere of the Blue Feather Sect anxious, and paranoia took hold; everyone suspected everyone else were potential conspirators.

While other forces were initially shocked, they gradually regained their composure.

The Blue Feather Sect, once unassailable, had suffered internal strife for several years and now faced the inexplicable disappearance of two Soul Transformation True Monarchs.

How much strength did the Blue Feather Sect have left now?

Greedy thoughts sprouted in the hearts of many, giving rise to a covert alliance called the "Burning Feather Alliance."

Minor frictions emerged initially.

But then, sparked by the Heavenly Feather Transformation Technique, a large-scale battle erupted.

This profound technique, divided into five parts before the fall of the Blue Feather Immortal Sage, was stored in five encrypted jade slips. Four were entrusted to the most loyal subordinates, and the remaining one was safeguarded by the most mysterious and reclusive Law Enforcement Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Only when the five jade slips were combined could the complete "Heavenly Feather Transformation Technique" be reconstructed.

When the Dugu brothers went missing, inviting numerous wolves, the Blue Feather Sect's seemingly most loyal Soul Transformation True Monarch, Wei Xutuo, betrayed them. Under the guise of discussing strategies against their enemies, he tricked the other Soul Transformation True Monarch, Wutong Tian, into a trap set by the Burning Feather Alliance.

Wutong Tian, resentful and infuriated, fell into the ambush. Wei Xutuo obtained two portions of the "Heavenly Feather Transformation Technique," and the Burning Feather Alliance took advantage of the situation to conquer territories of the Blue Feather Sect.

Upon hearing the news, the Blue Feather Sect was first shocked and then infuriated.

A bloody counterattack began.

The turmoil expanded, sweeping across the entire Yuandao Prefecture.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Countless Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Soul Transformation cultivators were affected, and signs of constant deaths from the heavens were evident.

However, the most numerous Qi Condensation cultivators, due to their low strength, could not even serve as cannon fodder, so they weren't affected much.

Mingyue Palace.

"Who is behind this again..."

Observing recent events in the Yuandao Prefecture, Li Fan's eyes flickered.

The thick scent of conspiracy behind this was too obvious.

"People with insight can easily see the suspicious points."

"Unfortunately, at this moment, I am already deeply entangled in the chessboard, unable to act freely."

The black-robed cultivator, holding a whisk, gently waved it.

The ginkgo tree, seemingly frozen in time, suddenly began to change.

The trunk swayed, and five golden leaves fluttered down.

The black-robed cultivator showed a pleased expression, "How did five Soul Transformation cultivators die during my closed-door cultivation?"

The hand seal changed.

Besides the golden ginkgo, another identical tree appeared.

However, it emitted a soft silver light all over.

The whisk was waved once more.

Twenty-three silver leaves slowly descended.

The black-robed cultivator was even more delighted.

With a quick calculation, he already knew the reason.

"So, there was an internal conflict. What an unexpected joy."

"Strange, whose doing is this? Why can't I calculate it?"

"Hmph, never mind. The more that die, the better."

"Originally, I leveraged Blue Feather's death and executed the Blue Feather Legacy Strategy, significantly reducing the number of cultivators."

"Now, with this happening, it seems I will exceed the mission quota this time."

The black-robed cultivator was inexplicably joyous, muttering to himself.

"The Yuandao Prefecture has been peaceful for too long, and there are too many cultivators. It's about time for a thorough pruning. It was all because of that old Blue Feather's protection..."

"Hmph, now that you're dead, there's no way for you to show off."

A blue ginkgo appeared, and this time, even more leaves fell.

The black-robed cultivator was suddenly overjoyed, "This time, the instructions from the Immortal Ancestor are finally completed."

Then, he habitually summoned the last green ginkgo.

To the black-robed cultivator's astonishment, this green ginkgo grew rapidly in the wind.

In just a breath, it increased its size by a full circle.

Full of vitality, it swayed gracefully.

The black-robed cultivator stood up in shock, exclaiming, "How could this be?"

"The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has tripled in ten years?"

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the black-robed cultivator quickly calculated with his fingers.

"What a remarkable Mingyue Palace..."

After a long time, the black-robed cultivator gritted his teeth and said in a resentful tone, "There are also a bunch of imitators..."

"You will all die!"

Boom!

The gold, silver, blue, and green ginkgo trees in front of him instantly turned into flying ashes.

The black-robed cultivator, holding the whisk, took a step forward and disappeared instantly.
