"Sect Master, what has happened?"
The Immortal Island Grand Elder asked with a puzzled expression.
He, too, was a deity with Intermediate Divine Power, his cultivation only second to the Immortal Island Master.
In the entire council hall, only he was not suppressed by the awe-inspiring authority of the Immortal Island Master.
"I've just received a distress signal from the Maoshan Sect. That Bai Yan wishes to eradicate the Maoshan Sect single-handedly; they have already been forced to activate their protective Great Array."
The Immortal Island Master's face was sinister, his voice cold to the extreme!
Since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, he hadn't received any good news, and all bad news was associated with Bai Yan.
If not for the limitations of the seal, he would have already gone to kill Bai Yan.
"What! Bai Yan actually defeated the entire Maoshan Sect by himself!"
Inside the council hall, the elders were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out.
A second-class Sect harbored deities with lesser Divine Power, and not just one!
For Bai Yan to defeat an entire Sect by himself, even the entire Immortal Island would probably only have its Master and the Grand Elder capable of such a feat...
"Sect Master, Bai Yan is far too terrifying; we must eliminate him before his wings are fully grown."
The Grand Elder said gravely, his face showing vicious resolve.
They first learned of Bai Yan because he had killed two Demigod level deacons of the Immortal Island.
In such a short time, Bai Yan had already defeated the entire Maoshan Sect.
Such a frightening rate of growth was truly horrifying.
Give him a bit more time, and perhaps even the Immortal Island would be powerless against him!
"Who among you is willing to suppress this brat?"
The Immortal Island Master swept his gaze over all the elders.
The elders couldn't help but shrink their heads back, afraid of being chosen by the Master.
Having already known the terror of Bai Yan, they naturally did not wish to go meet their deaths.
"Sect Master, Bai Yan's strength is indeed terrifying; let me handle it."
Seeing everyone's reaction, the Grand Elder couldn't help but speak up, somewhat helplessly.
These people had been cultivating since their youth, avoiding strife, which resulted in them merely being large containers of Spiritual Power without the will to fight.
Suddenly, the Grand Elder had a nearly impossible thought.
If Bai Yan were a disciple of the Immortal Island, why would there be any worries about conquering the entire plane.
Given time, perhaps the Immortal Island could even become a terrifying existence like the Kunlun Holy Land!
"Good, perhaps only the Grand Elder can subdue this brat. If possible, subdue him; if not, kill him after snatching his heritage treasure, absolutely do not leave any future trouble!"
The Immortal Island Master instructed and then went to the seal, exhausting all his strength to open a crack just wide enough for one person to pass through.
The Grand Elder seized the opportunity and flew out through the gap in the seal.
"Pfft~"
The Immortal Island Master's face turned pale as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Forcibly opening the seal also imposed a great burden on him.
"Sect Master, why would that terrifying existence want to seal all of us Sects?"
A recently promoted elder sighed and asked, somewhat perplexed.
"Shut up! Anyone who dares to discuss that existence will be killed without mercy!"
The Immortal Island Master glared at this elder, then retreated to his quiet room to heal his wounds.
...
After breaking through the seal, the Immortal Island Grand Elder immediately dashed towards the direction of the Maoshan Sect.
In front of a God with Intermediate Divine Power, having mastered Divine Skills like Close and Far, distances of millions of miles to them are like mere millimeters to ordinary people. With one step into the Void, the next second their figure vanished into the horizon.
At the same time, Bai Yan was standing quietly outside the Maoshan Sect's protective Great Array.
He could sense that this protective array contained a terrifying divine might, something he couldn't possibly break through.
The only method was to wait, wait for the divine nature of the protective array to exhaust itself and dissipate on its own.
"Elder Yuan, are you sure Immortal Island has received the message? Why haven't they sent anyone yet?"
Inside the protective array, the Maoshan Sect Leader was very tense as he asked Elder Yuan.
The divine might sealed within the Stone Lion was almost depleted, and once the protective array shattered, no one could stop Bai Yan from massacring the Maoshan Sect.
"Sect Master, perhaps the support from Immortal Island is still on its way."
Elder Yuan was also extremely anxious. Were it not for Bai Yan obstructing outside the array, he would have flown to Immortal Island this instant to investigate.
"As the Immortal Island Grand Elder, entrusted by the Immortal Island Master, I am here to take young friend Bai Yan back to the Sect."
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating help, an overwhelming voice spread throughout the Maoshan Sect, directly shattering the protective array, whose divine nature was nearly exhausted.
After the voice fell, an old man wearing a grey robe, with the bearing of a sage, appeared above the Maoshan Sect.
"This time our Maoshan Sect is saved, Immortal Island actually sent the Grand Elder."
"Grand Elder, you must do justice for us, that Bai Yan thug, relying on his profound cultivation, has committed mass slaughter in our Maoshan Sect!"
A weight lifted from the hearts of the Maoshan Sect's higher-ups, who immediately started to lament to the Grand Elder.
"Indeed, he has come."
Bai Yan sneered coldly to himself. Each and every one of these people was a hypocrite. If it weren't for the Maoshan Sect sending their Sect Heavenly Prides to provoke first, he wouldn't have considered targeting these weaker divine beings.
"Shut up!" the Grand Elder barked, then turned to Bai Yan with a smile: "I wonder where the Maoshan Sect has offended young friend Bai Yan."
"No offense, I just found them disagreeable, killed them for some peace and quiet."
Bai Yan said indifferently, with an air of nonchalance.
He couldn't be bothered to argue endlessly with the Maoshan Sect. Besides, does a Demon need a reason to kill?
The people of Maoshan Sect were left dumbfounded, and at this moment, the Grand Elder was also quite embarrassed.
To eradicate an entire family over personal displeasure was perhaps too domineering.
But what Immortal Island lacks is precisely this kind of decisive and ruthless hero.
"I am here this time firstly to mediate the conflict between young friend and the Maoshan Sect, and secondly to invite young friend to join Immortal Island."
The Grand Elder said with a smile, his tone leaving no room for Bai Yan's doubt!
"Join Immortal Island?"
The Maoshan Sect's people looked at Bai Yan with envy. Being personally invited to join Immortal Island by the Grand Elder, what a great honor that must be!
Bai Yan looked warily at the Immortal Island Grand Elder, remembering how he first killed two Immortal Island Deacons and later grievously wounded an Immortal Island Elder.
Given Immortal Island's domineering style, they should be suppressing him right now.
This Grand Elder's enthusiasm was a clear sign of ill intentions, as a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken without a good heart.
"You say I should join Immortal Island, and I just should?"
Bai Yan's face suddenly turned cold, then he continued.
"What is Immortal Island to me!"
The Maoshan Sect's people were shocked once more. Bai Yan's arrogance had broken through the bottom line of their hearts.
After the Kunlun Holy Land was annihilated, Immortal Island remained as a First-class Sect, still becoming the most powerful force of this realm.
When Immortal Island emerges, it will surely take the opportunity to rule the entire realm.
Yet now, such a terrifying existence, that none dare to cross, was being cursed by Bai Yan as worthless...
If you dare to curse Immortal Island, is there anything in this world you wouldn't dare to do?
