Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Upon this thought, he ignored Grand Elder Duan Qianchou of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. Instead, he moved towards Flaming Blade Duan River, also from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect.

Flaming Blade Duan River, a Late Stage Third Grade Earth Immortal, felt a strong hatred flare in his eyes upon seeing this.

In his heart, with his Late Stage Third Grade Realm, his Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, and his proficient Fire Spirit Divine Skill Immortal Technique, dealing with this Mu Shiba would be as easy as crushing an ant!

But he knew that, let alone his current Late Stage Third Grade Realm, even if he were at the Initial Tier Fourth Grade Realm, the Late-Grade Four Realm, the Late Stage Fifth Grade Realm, or even the Late Stage Sixth Grade Realm, he couldn't touch a cultivator Galin Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism intended to befriend—not right in front of her. Not unless he no longer wished to live, nor wished for the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect to continue existing!

At this thought, Flaming Blade Duan River felt an immense, suffocating hatred. He looked at the approaching Lin Xuankong and said coldly, "Mu Shiba, if we really fought freely, I could kill a hundred like you without even needing to replenish Immortal Yuan! You are just a fox borrowing the tiger's might, relying on some forces to casually bully the Earth Immortals of the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. What kind of skill is that? Hmph! If all Earth Immortals of the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region were as shameless as you, the entire region would never know peace!"

Upon hearing Flaming Blade Duan River's words, Lin Xuankong felt a wave of physical revulsion. These so-called high and mighty Earth Immortals of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect have truly outdone themselves today, perfectly demonstrating what it means to preach virtue while secretly engaging in murder and arson. The most critical issue is their sheer audacity; when they speak of righteousness and morality, they all adopt such an air of solemn integrity. It's utterly disgusting, profoundly so—not just ordinarily repulsive!

Dealing with such vile creatures by simply killing them would be far too lenient! He must be thoroughly humiliated... Otherwise, it would be impossible to dispel this sickening feeling in my heart!

Thinking this, Lin Xuankong stared at Flaming Blade Duan River before him and said in a deep voice, "Flaming Blade Duan River, do you really think your plan is flawless, seamless? Flaming Blade Duan River, do you really think no one knows about the disgusting arrangements of your Fire Spirit Immortal Sect?"

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect behind him. Sect Leader Li, in turn, raised his hand towards the interior of the Sect Protection Array.

Instantly, dozens of auspicious clouds rose from within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array. These clouds floated above the Thirty-Sixth Spirit Peak. Each cloud carried several disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, who were using specially made magical artifact ropes to restrain dozens of semi-conscious cultivators. The disciples controlling these captives all wore grim expressions, their faces clearly etched with anger.

Seeing this, Grand Elder Duan Qianchou of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, Flaming Blade Duan River, and the dozens of other Fire Spirit Earth Immortals all showed drastic changes in their expressions.

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect then said in a deep voice, "When have we, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, ever provoked your Fire Spirit Immortal Sect? And yet, your Fire Spirit Immortal Sect actually planted hundreds of spies within our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Not only that, but there are also three Initial Tier Earth Immortal spies among them! Hmph, what a so-called righteous and moral Fire Spirit Immortal Sect! What more do you have to say now?"

Flaming Blade Duan River looked at the restrained cultivators and the three Earth Immortals, his eyes flickering. Just as he was about to speak, the controlled cultivators and the three Earth Immortals all fell to their knees, wailing and accusing.

These hundreds of cultivators vividly confessed everything: how the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect had recruited them, how they had been trained, when they had been infiltrated into the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and what tasks they had been assigned. They laid it all bare! Furthermore, the three Earth Immortals and dozens of the cultivators produced tokens and Communication Jade Tokens from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, retrieved from their Ghost Frog Pouches, as damning evidence!

Seeing this, Flaming Blade Duan River, who had intended to argue, immediately frowned and was rendered speechless.

At this moment, the three restrained Initial Tier Earth Immortals also confessed. They revealed that the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect hadn't only planted numerous spies in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect; they had infiltrated nearly every Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty. In some smaller Immortal Sects, even the position of Vice Sect Leader had fallen under the control of spies dispatched by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect!

One could only imagine: if Lin Xuankong and the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect hadn't exposed these despicable acts by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect today, given enough time, the numerous Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region would have been infiltrated and controlled by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect to an almost unrecognizable degree! Among these, even the Five Elements Immortal Sect had spies planted by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, the hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Seventy-six Immortal Sects now looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect's Earth Immortals with eyes full of disgust and faces contorted in anger. They all began to surreptitiously reach for their weapons.

Five Elements Wanderer, the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, activated the Immortal Artifact in his hand and pointed it at Grand Elder Duan Qianchou of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. His voice was ice-cold as he spoke, "Old Duan, Old Duan! I, Five Elements Wanderer, have always regarded the many Daoist friends of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect as if we were from the same sect! But I never imagined that while I was treating you as brethren, your Fire Spirit Immortal Sect was secretly making many of your people into *my* sect members! If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, half the Earth Immortals in my Five Elements Immortal Sect will be spies planted by your Fire Spirit Immortal Sect!"
