Chapter 2853: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Chapter 2853: Chapter 2853: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Three days later, four divine rainbows shot up into the sky from the Nourishing Essence Hall, flying towards the Sect Leader Mansion of Tianlin Star.

These four divine rainbows belonged to the Nourishing Essence Alchemist, Great Might Divine King, Fang Bai, and Rongrong respectively.

The other senior members of the Nourishing Essence Sect stayed behind to guard the sect against unforeseen circumstances.

Upon arriving at the Sect Leader Mansion in Tianlin City, the four powerful figures, including the Nourishing Essence Alchemist, were personally welcomed by the Tianlin Divine King.

"Tianlin Divine King, you haven’t invited only us, have you?"

After entering the Sect Leader Mansion and not seeing other powerful figures, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist couldn’t help but wonder privately.

The Tianlin Divine King replied, "I’ve also invited experts from various star systems, but you all arrived earlier."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist didn’t suspect anything and temporarily stayed at the Sect Leader Mansion as arranged by the Tianlin Divine King.

Several days passed without any sign of experts from other star systems arriving, causing the Nourishing Essence Alchemist to grow restless and say to the Great Might Divine King, Fang Bai, and Rongrong, "I’ve been feeling uneasy these days, as if something bad is going to happen."

"I also feel something isn’t right..."

The Great Might Divine King pondered.

Under normal circumstances, he and the Nourishing Essence Alchemist are both powerful figures on par with the Tianlin Divine King. As the host, the Tianlin Divine King should be accompanying them daily, yet after arranging for them to stay at the Sect Leader Mansion, he disappeared, which was quite unreasonable.

Moreover, several days have passed, and no other experts have arrived beside the four of them, which aroused the suspicion of the Great Might Divine King.

"I’ll go find the Tianlin Divine King."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist felt that they couldn’t continue waiting idly and had to go find the Tianlin Divine King for answers.

"We’ll go together!"

The Great Might Divine King said.

Thus, the two Divine King Realm experts left their residence to go to the Sect Leader Hall in search of the Tianlin Divine King.

However, upon reaching the Sect Leader Hall, they were informed that the Tianlin Divine King was not within and had left several days ago.

"Where exactly has the Tianlin Divine King gone?"

The Great Might Divine King grew increasingly uneasy, grabbed one of the Tianlin Divine King’s subordinates, and fiercely questioned him.

"Possibly... possibly went to the Bading Alchemist."

The subordinate trembled, scared under the Great Might Divine King’s pressure, and responded timidly.

"Why did he go to the Bading Alchemist’s place?"

The Great Might Divine King asked sharply.

He exchanged a glance with the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and detected a sense of tension and worry in each other’s eyes.

Now, nearly all experts in the Tianlin Star System are aware of the long-standing discord between the Nourishing Essence Sect and the Bading Sect, while the Sect Leader Mansion maintains neutrality between the two forces.

But now, it’s intriguing that after arranging for them to stay at the Sect Leader Mansion, the Tianlin Divine King went to meet the Bading Alchemist.

"Let’s return!"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist detected a strong sense of conspiracy in the matter and made a decisive call.

Thus, led by him, the four powerful figures ignored the attempts of Tianlin Divine King’s subordinates to hold them back and flew back to the Nourishing Essence Sect as quickly as possible.

Mid-flight, they encountered several bloodied disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect.

"Master, the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion joined forces to launch a surprise attack on our Nourishing Essence Sect..."

The injured disciples cried out in grief upon seeing the four powerful figures, including the Nourishing Essence Alchemist.

"What?"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist felt his vision darken, grabbed the speaking disciple’s shoulders, and asked sternly.

The disciple felt immense pain from having his shoulders grabbed, but didn’t dare to struggle and stammered, repeating what he just said.

"We... have been fooled! How cunning of the Sect Leader Mansion..."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist’s mind buzzed as he uttered miserably.

"What’s the current situation at the Nourishing Essence Sect?"

In contrast, the Great Might Divine King remained calm and composed, glanced at the distraught Nourishing Essence Alchemist, and then solemnly asked the disciples.

"The Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion experts launched a sudden attack, only a small portion of disciples managed to retreat into the sect’s defensive array, and now they’re likely holding out. Meanwhile, another portion of disciples was surrounded by the Bading Sect and Sect Leader Mansion experts, suffering heavy losses! We barely escaped before being surrounded."

A disciple of the Nourishing Essence Sect said, his face pale and haunted by the ordeal.

"Sect Leader, we need to hurry back before the sect’s defensive array is breached, or else the disciples hiding within will be in danger!"

The Great Might Divine King said decisively.

His voice rang like thunder, snapping the Nourishing Essence Alchemist out of his daze.

"Go, head back to the sect!"

Revived from his shock, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist’s eyes turned crimson, filled with wrath, and with a wave of his hand, he sped towards the Nourishing Essence Sect.

The Great Might Divine King and the Nourishing Essence Sect’s experts followed closely behind.

At this moment, the Nourishing Essence Sect was already transformed into a scene of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Killing, with magnificent temples turned to ruins and a large number of divine medicines planted in the mountains destroyed.

Thousands of disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect were either dead, injured, or captured, while the remaining few managed to hide within the defensive formation on the peak where the Nourishing Essence Hall was located, temporarily avoiding disaster.

However, under the combined assault of tens of thousands of Bading Sect and Sect Leader Mansion disciples, the defensive formation trembled with increasing intensity, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

The tens of thousands of disciples from the Bading Sect and Sect Leader Mansion had formed a Heaven’s Net around the Nourishing Essence Hall, and once the defensive formation collapsed, not a single disciple of the Nourishing Essence Sect would escape.

The faces of the Nourishing Essence Sect disciples were painted with despair.

"Tianlin Divine King, once we breach this defensive formation and seize the Nourishing Essence Sect’s treasury, our victory in this battle will be complete!"

"Haha, it’s amusing that the old Nourishing Essence effectively remains oblivious, not realizing his Nourishing Essence Sect has been destroyed!"

"However, the old Nourishing Essence is highly powerful, accompanied by the Great Might Divine King, so we still can’t afford complacency! Only by eliminating the two of them will we truly secure our position!"

"Let’s put more effort, break this defensive formation, then divide the Nourishing Essence Sect’s treasury, and finally return to the Sect Leader Mansion to jointly take down the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and the Great Might Divine King!"

"The two of us, with ten thousand elite disciples, will surely put them both to death!"

"Hahaha..."

The Bading Alchemist and Tianlin Divine King stood suspended in the air, looking down at the soon-to-collapse defensive formation of the Nourishing Essence Hall, unable to hide their smirks, laughing loudly.

They had joined forces days ago, planning to eliminate the Nourishing Essence Sect to prevent its continued expansion, which threatened their sect’s interests.

Now, seeing their imminent success, naturally filled their hearts with content.

Initially, they utilized a strategy to lure the tiger away from its mountain, drawing the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and the Great Might Divine King to the Sect Leader Mansion, then assembling elite disciples to launch a surprise attack on the Nourishing Essence Sect.

Their objectives were clear: one, eliminate the Nourishing Essence Sect; two, seize its cultivation resources accumulated over the years.

Currently, most disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect have already been lost, and the remaining ones pose no concern; once the defensive formation is breached, the cultivation resources amassed by the Nourishing Essence Sect will become theirs.
