Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 917 - 501

When Su Jie and his companions arrived here, they witnessed the landscape around Taifeng City outskirts completely changed.

Amid the ruins, Zhao Bilong lay in a large pit.

His head had separated from his neck, his lifeless eyes wide open, rolled to one side, devoid of any life force.

Standing on the other side was Zhang Chenfeng from the Fire Cloud Palace, with the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring above his head, strands of Holy Flame Red Light flowing like wisps and petals. Despite being covered in injuries, he still exuded a powerful aura.

"You’ve come."

Zhang Chenfeng looked at Su Jie and others with a slight, weary smile. He was almost at his limits, barely holding on to speak with them.

"Elder Zhang is truly formidable, battling Zhao Bilong. Elder Zhang’s reputation will soar."

Su Jie first saluted, scanning the surroundings, not seeing the Low Grade Spirit Treasure, Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff. He wondered if Zhang Chenfeng had hidden it away.

Su Jie narrowed his eyes slightly. Now considering Zhang Chenfeng’s condition along with the four elders from Fire Cloud Palace, he pondered if him and his group, including Lu Jingshi and Zhang Junwei, could...

Di Pingqiu felt an inexplicable chill, instinctively turning his head to look around.

Zhang Chenfeng seemed to discern Su Jie’s intention and sighed bitterly, "A Spirit Treasure is a Spirit Treasure because the artifact possesses a spirit. Zhao Bilong, before dying, used his last breath to toss the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff away. That Spirit Treasure, carrying away Yu Wenjing and five talented disciples, has already escaped. By the time I dealt with him, I couldn’t find the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff."

"I see, Spirit Treasures truly are mysterious. It’s a pity about those auction items."

Su Jie swept his Divine Sense over Taifeng City, finding indeed the absence of Mo Shiyao, Yu Wenjing, and the other five’s presence, feeling somewhat regretful.

If they were still around, another auction could have been organized.

Di Pingqiu returned to Zhang Chenfeng’s side, whispered softly, reporting what had happened on his end.

"Really, wiped them all out! Haha, hahaha, great victory, great victory! All eight of the Right Path cultivators fell without exception, severely weakening the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and Guan Chao Pavilion’s strength. Now they, the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and Guan Chao Pavilion, will suffer greatly."

Zhang Chenfeng’s smile suddenly widened, fatigue instantly replaced with vigor, heart pounding with joy.

Initially observing Su Jie’s group intact, he thought the battle wasn’t fierce, but hearing the news that Guan Chao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance’s strength was utterly eliminated pleased him greatly.

The results meant everything for Fire Cloud Palace.

Guan Chao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance had always been targets for Fire Cloud Palace to destroy.

Now Guan Chao Pavilion lost Zhao Bilong and four Qing Province Taoist Platform Realm experts were killed.

Those four Taoist Platform Realm experts, though not from Guan Chao Pavilion, were allies, otherwise, they wouldn’t travel so far with Guan Chao Pavilion to this place, acting as its vassal forces.

With this battle that annihilated them, Guan Chao Pavilion would definitely be hit hard.

Concerning the Fire Cloud Palace, the loss was equally significant with Ten Thousand Sword Alliance losing three elders including Situ Hao, the second most powerful Taoist Platform Realm Fifth Layer cultivator from Ten Thousand Sword Alliance.

Counting the previously fallen Murong Yue, Ten Thousand Sword Alliance including the Sect Master himself now had only one Taoist Platform Realm expert left.

This was no mere injury, not even cutting by half but severing from the neck, almost collapsing the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance.

"Indeed, this time we achieved a major victory. Guan Chao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance paid the price for attempting to kill our sect’s Saint Heir."

Zhang Junwei felt invigorated. Weakening Guan Chao Pavilion, the leader of the Qingzhou Righteous Path, ensured Ghost Ridge Palace’s status and safety would be secured.

"Master Su, you didn’t deceive me. Now let’s see how Guan Chao Pavilion contends against our Heavenly Soul Sect."

Lu Jingshi was equally thrilled; with this battle’s conclusion, the Heavenly Soul Sect’s predicament should resolve on its own, while the heavily damaged Guan Chao Pavilion couldn’t possibly maintain their siege, much less handle Fire Cloud Palace’s assault, leaving them powerless against Heavenly Soul Sect.

"Hahaha, the fall of eight Taoist Platform Realm cultivators, surely Guan Chao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance will love this surprise we sent them."

Su Jie laughed heartily twice, saluted Zhang Chenfeng, "Elder Zhang, a fruitful collaboration, the plan is successfully completed."

"Hahaha, indeed, a pleasant collaboration."

Zhang Chenfeng and Su Jie exchanged glances, both bursting into laughter.

................

"Battle erupts between Righteous and Evil sides in Chongzhou, eight Taoist Platform experts of the Righteous Path fall, heavy losses sustained."

"Fire Cloud Palace, in pursuit of defeating rivals, unscrupulously colluded with the Great Demon, Su Jie, resulting in this heinous massacre."

"Guan Chao Pavilion and Ten Thousand Sword Alliance face power vacuum, Qingzhou and Qing Province to undergo drastic changes."

The next day!

Heavy news about the auction at Taifeng City in Chongzhou spread like a hurricane, continually beyond the borders.

Chongzhou in turmoil, Qingzhou in turmoil, Qing Province in turmoil, the entire Sixteen States of the Da Li Dynasty were astounded by the news.

This battle erupted in Chongzhou, watched by too many.

Those fleeing cultivators from Chongzhou certainly did not keep secrets, coupled with Su Jie’s blatant declaration of his feats, resulting in obvious effects.

The originally highly anticipated talent auction suddenly turned into a battle between the righteous and the demonic, with Fire Cloud Palace colluding with the Demon Path, leading to heavy losses for the Guan Chao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance. This news carried so much information; it was truly eye-popping.

Eight Taoist Platform Realm cultivators died in a single battle, which is an unimaginable concept.

In the Da Li Dynasty, a medium-sized sect would typically have a single Taoist Platform Realm powerhouse, often the Sect Master.

As powerful as Guan Chao Pavilion, the entire sect had only seven Taoist Platform Realm powerhouses.

Including the recently fallen Zhao Bilong, four people have died one after another in the past few years, leaving the entire sect with only three Taoist Platform Realm cultivators.

It can be said that the fall of a Taoist Platform Realm powerhouse can cause a sensation and a great upheaval in a continent.

Now, with eight Taoist Platform Realm powerhouses dying at once, such a war has not occurred in the Da Li Dynasty for many years.

The details of this battle are being continuously revealed, and Su Jie’s name is mentioned repeatedly, because everything started because of him, and with his resounding achievements, Su Jie undoubtedly became the most dazzling new star in the entire Da Li Dynasty.

.......

Ten Thousand Sword Alliance!

Upon hearing the news from Chongzhou, Li Yuze was in a daze, completely unable to believe what he had heard.

"What did you say? All dead, Sitong Hao, Liang Weichi, and Yan Tianlei, the three Elders have all fallen?"

Li Yuze’s eyes shot out a sharp glare, his expression ferocious, as if he wanted to devour someone alive.

"Report to the Sect Master, every word I say is true, without a single falsehood..."

The disciple who came to report knelt on the ground trembling, but before he could finish, an invisible Sword Qi raged and spread.

His body was instantly disintegrated, sliced into pieces, and then shredded by the Sword Qi.

Li Yuze’s eyes were blood-red, an aura of terrifying killing intent erupted from him, gathering clouds over the sky, with lightning and thunder. The terrifying Sword Intent surged into the sky, alarming the entire mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, making many disciples feel their skin prickling, as if stabbed by a myriad of sharp blades.

"Su Jie, Fire Cloud Palace..."

Li Yuze shouted Su Jie’s name. If Su Jie stood before him now, he would wish to devour Su Jie’s flesh and blood.

Three Taoist Platform Realm Elders, plus Murong Yue who was killed by Su Jie, made it four Elders from the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance who died at Su Jie’s hands.

Now the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance was left with only him, a solitary figure, the only remaining Taoist Platform Realm heir.

The fury inside him soared to the heavens, yet no matter how angry Li Yuze was, it was futile. Instead, his heart was engulfed by regret.

He sent the three Supreme Elders, Sitong Hao and the others, but did not anticipate that it was a trap set by Su Jie, who had long premeditated to ally with the Fire Cloud Palace, leading to this bloodshed.

Had he known the results, he wouldn’t have sent Zhang Xinming to Qingzhou for training, which would have prevented subsequent events, but it was now too late to say anything.

.................

Guan Chao Pavilion.

In the open space of the central hall, Yu Wenjing knelt on the ground, holding the Sea Suppressing Double Dragon Staff in both hands, with Mo Shiyao, Jiang Lin, He Wenfeng, and Wei Qingwan, four genius disciples, behind him.

Surrounded were Elders of Guan Chao Pavilion, ranging from Taoist Platform Realm to Secret Realm, each with expressions of sorrow or intense anger.

In front of them, Elder Dong Yu of Guan Chao Pavilion was dressed in mourning white, strands of white mixed in his hair, he seemed to have aged by more than a decade overnight.

"Great Elder, Su Jie is not human, he used us as bait, colluding with Fire Cloud Palace to lure Elder Zhao Bilong and others into a trap. Elder Zhao Bilong sacrificed himself to save us," said Yu Wenjing, tears streaming down his face. Although he returned to the Guan Chao Pavilion he longed for, this was not the outcome he wanted to see.

To save these five genius disciples, the righteous side lost eight Taoist Platform Realm cultivators. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the loss was immeasurable.

"Elder Dong, I’m sorry."

"Amitabha Buddha, please accept my condolences, Master Dong."

"Elder Dong, our Jingyu Temple will always remember the kindness of Guan Chao Pavilion."

"Su Jie, this demon, is despicable and shameless. We, the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, will never let him go."

Mo Shiyao, He Wenfeng, Jiang Lin, and Wei Qingwan also spoke up.

Their return owed entirely to Zhao Bilong’s ultimate sacrifice, so their gratitude was entirely genuine.

Dong Yu said nothing, his gaze was empty, unfocused, and who knows what he was thinking.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, "The greatest fault lies with me, for I did not foresee Su Jie’s plan."

He lowered his head, looking desolate and lonely, then issued an order, "Convey my command, as of today, seal the mountain!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone opened their mouths wide, but seeing the look in Dong Yu’s eyes, all words of opposition choked in their throats, leaving them no choice but to rise and convey the command to seal the mountain gate of Guan Chao Pavilion.
