Chapter 928 - 404: Facing Evergreen

Chapter 928: Chapter 404: Facing Evergreen

The path to celestial ascension collapsed. Many Daluo and Taiyi Golden Immortals combined their strength, yet it was shattered by a single phrase. Even the Purple Fairy, with Sub-Venerable power, could not resist and was injured in an instant!

"The Immortal Venerable... has the Immortal Venerable arrived?"

"Is it... the Evergreen Immortal Venerable?"

"Why... is he obstructing the Purple Fairy’s ascension?"

All the heavenly soldiers and generals present were shocked and pale, and many Daluo Golden Immortals were greatly astounded.

Ye Tiancan, Biyao Fairy, and others had a flicker of doubt and surprise in their eyes!

"He has actually appeared..."

"The death of Hongbo Fairy caused him to withdraw from the struggle for longevity?"

"His attitude towards the Purple Fairy... is not friendly."

Many Daluo Golden Immortals frowned, and even Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others, at this moment, had solemn expressions and unconsciously turned their gazes towards An Li in Biluo Palace.

The current changes were no longer the same as what they had initially agreed upon with An Li.

In the original plan, the primary objective was to eliminate Hongbo Fairy and change the ruler of the heavenly court.

After all, Hongbo Fairy was originally a puppet under the jurisdiction of Evergreen Immortal Venerable in the heavenly court. During her tenure as the ruler, all forces were suppressed to the point of suffocation. It was one thing for Daluo Golden Immortals to refrain from touching the Longevity White Mist, but even taking a step towards the Immortal Venerable position would lead to unforeseeable misfortune, as had happened with Tai’e Sword Saint, Celestial Monarch Eastern, Celestial Monarch Ge, and others.

As long as Hongbo Fairy was in the heavenly court, all forces had no hope.

Today’s great chaos was largely due to the long-standing suffering under Hongbo Fairy’s rule in the heavenly court.

Yunxi and Ye Cauldron, among others, collaborated with the Dao Sect not without motive. Their biggest demand was that henceforth, the heavenly court must not interfere with their ascension to Immortal Venerable.

The Purple Fairy agreed.

Of course, they had considered that Hongbo Fairy was, after all, Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s eldest disciple. Killing Hongbo Fairy in this manner, how could Evergreen Immortal Venerable be pleased?

If Evergreen Immortal Venerable truly interfered, all of their plans would turn to naught.

But An Li persuaded them—

The Evergreen Immortal Venerable was already drawn into the struggle for longevity, especially at this point in time, with the emergence of the Longevity White Mist in the world, the conflict between Evergreen Immortal Venerable and Yunluo Immortal Venerable would become extremely intense. Thus, even if Evergreen Immortal Venerable was displeased with the death of Hongbo Fairy, he likely wouldn’t find the time to intervene.

Moreover, the successor of the heavenly court was still his disciple; the internal struggle between the Purple Fairy and Hongbo Fairy remained within his domain.

Therefore, their ideal outcome for participating in this plan was the death of Hongbo Fairy, the ascension of the Purple Fairy, Evergreen Immortal Venerable too preoccupied with the struggle for longevity to care, and the Purple Fairy providing them the soil and space to surpass Daluo.

Despite some changes in the plan previously, everything was proceeding fairly smoothly.

Hongbo Fairy indeed died, and the Purple Fairy had ascended...

The Evergreen Immortal Venerable also, as An Li stated, had not shown up, making them think the situation was settled.

Who would have expected that, although Evergreen Immortal Venerable arrived late, he did not miss this upheaval!

Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others seemed to want answers from An Li. Although this Daoist Sect Leader’s cultivation was inferior to theirs, as the strategist of this grand scheme, he was Yunxi and the others’ last hope.

But Yunxi and the others did not get the solace they were looking for from An Li.

For at this moment, An Li too had lost his previous calm and composure, his face now full of tension and unease!

"With the plan changed, it seems like you and I ultimately bet wrong."

Ye Cauldron gently sighed.

He fought from beginning to end, never showing weakness, his aura as a heroic lord fully revealed, but now he lacked any will to fight. The gap between Immortal Venerable and Daluo was truly insurmountable.

Even a powerhouse like the Purple Fairy could not withstand a single phrase...

"Before we boarded this ship, hadn’t we already envisioned the worst-case scenario?"

But Yunxi merely smiled, seemingly unafraid, and said: "Dying now, or being trapped at Daluo until the Great Dao disappears one day and dying, what’s the difference?"

"The Great Dao contends, longevity must be pursued, in contention and pursuit, life and death are never certain!"

Ye Cauldron also nodded and said: "I was being too attached."

The two of them remained relatively calm, but the others were now in panic.

"Welcome, Immortal Venerable!"

At this moment, Celestial Monarch Zuo Feng and Celestial Monarch Shi Teng, who had not left the scene, both showed great joy on their faces, hurriedly shouting, and then knelt in the direction the phrase came from!

The two of them truly found life anew, after hitting a dead end!

Even they had not expected Evergreen Immortal Venerable to descend, so they were prepared to resign themselves...

In an instant, all the heavenly soldiers and generals who had just been kneeling to the Purple Fairy, and the various forces, all knelt again in the direction the phrase came from, everyone showing an expression of fear and trepidation!

Only Celestial Monarch Eastern and Celestial Monarch Ge exchanged a glance, their eyes holding a bitter expression.

"In the end, we have lost."

Celestial Monarch Ge sighed deeply.

"We’ve done all we can, now leave it to fate."

Celestial Monarch Eastern was calm, "Four thousand years ago, even Li An, who was just a Celestial Immortal, dared to risk his life, why should we fear defeat?"

Celestial Monarch Ge smiled with understanding, "Indeed."

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian silently carried the Ta’e Sword and walked to the Purple Fairy’s side!

"You should leave; the future Dao Sect might still need you."

The Purple Fairy gently whispered.

"The Dao Sect is the Dao Sect because it never retreats."

Xiang Yuntian smiled and said, "Li An didn’t manage to deal with that old thing back then... today I’ll try again!"
