NOVEL NEXT Chapter 468: Lu Yi, Passes Away!_1
Hearing the sounds coming from within the forest, the members of the Taiyin Divine Sect instantly went on alert. Wei Feiren bellowed, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
No sooner had his voice faded than a breeze blew by, and very quickly, more than a dozen people appeared on the tree branches in the distance.
The aura emitted by each of those dozen people was incredibly strong, nearly all of them possessing the strength above that of a Grandmaster.
Witnessing this scene, both Lu Yi and the people of the Taiyin Divine Sect were stunned.
What was going on? How could so many Grandmasters appear all at once?
How many Grandmasters existed in this world?
Here, sixteen Grandmasters had appeared all at once, and the auras of the two leading figures were clearly stronger than those of the Grandmasters—those two were likely Pseudo Celestials.
Wei Feiren, being a Pseudo Celestial himself, could easily discern the presence of others who were also Pseudo Celestials.
The two leaders were indeed genuine Pseudo Celestials!
Wei Feiren immediately demanded, "Who are you?!"
One of the leaders, Li Yu, replied with a smile, "Elder Wei surely has the habit of forgetting things easily. It hasn't been that many years, and Elder Wei has already forgotten me. I still remember the filthy aura of Elder Wei. Even with a mask, I could recognize Elder Wei at a glance."
This…
Wei Feiren's heart skipped a beat.
To recognize him at a glance?
He didn't recall offending any power capable of mustering a dozen Grandmasters at once during the time since the resurrection of the Taiyin Sect Hierarch.
Wait a minute…
It suddenly dawned on Wei Feiren, and his face turned deathly pale. Even with a mask on, Li Yu could still easily see through Wei Feiren's small movements the panic inside him.
Disbelieving, Wei Feiren exclaimed, "You… you're from the Sunset Sword Sect!"
The only power Wei Feiren could think of that was capable of summoning a dozen Grandmasters at once was either the Sunset Sword Sect or the Tai Chu Divine Hall.
But both powers were overseas, residing on their respective islands, supposedly never leaving. And without a sea chart, how did they manage to find this place?
Years ago, when the Taiyin Divine Sect attacked the Sunset Sword Sect, Wei Feiren was a Grandmaster, and so was Li Yu—they had clashed many times.
Now realizing the truth, Wei Feiren suddenly understood why the leader looked so familiar—it was Li Yu of the Sunset Sword Sect.
Coming back to his senses, Wei Feiren still disbelievingly asked, "How did you find this place?!"
Li Yu, smiling, said, "It seems Elder Wei has recognized me now."
"Since you have, that makes things easier."
"After that great demon was slain, your Taiyin Divine Sect fled like rats. The outcome between us was never decided."
"Let's settle it today, once and for all."
As he spoke, Li Yu's formidable presence was fully unleashed. In the next moment, Li Yu leapt down from the tree, swinging his sword at Wei Feiren.
When the Taiyin Divine Sect attacked the Sunset Sword Sect years ago, Wei Feiren and Li Yu both led a squadron, and they had competed many times. Unfortunately, Li Yu had never managed to kill Wei Feiren, a fact he had never forgotten.
He hadn't expected that after so many years, he would still be able to face this vile vermin. Li Yu would not let this opportunity slip by.
Instantly, Wei Feiren directed the others from the Taiyin Divine Sect, "Take the Crown Prince and retreat!"
```
Wei Feiren certainly didn't dare to confront Li Yu head-on, especially since Li Yu had a Pseudo Celestial by his side and brought along more than a dozen Grandmasters. All together, they were far beyond his ability to contend with.
Moreover, he now had an even more important task, which was to hurry back to the Taiyin Divine Sect and inform the Sect Hierarch about the arrival of the Sunset Sword Sect in Great Sum.
The likelihood was that the Sunset Sword Sect came to Great Sum targeting the Taiyin Divine Sect. In the past, when the Taiyin Divine Sect attacked the Sunset Sword Sect, even their Sect Hierarch was no match for the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall. If their Sect Hierarch weren't so special, he might have already died.
Now that their Sect Hierarch hadn't yet regained his power, facing the Sunset Sword Sect, there was no chance of victory. Most importantly, it seemed that the Sunset Sword Sect and the Tai Chu Divine Hall were allies. With the Sunset Sword Sect present in Great Sum, it was very likely that the Tai Chu Divine Hall had also arrived.
As soon as Wei Feiren finished speaking, he immediately made a move against Li Yu and the Pseudo Celestial beside him. Wei Feiren took out the Soul Summoning Banner, and countless black skeletons flew out from it, heading straight for Li Yu and his group.
Hearing Wei Feiren's words, Lu Yi's face instantly turned pale.
If even the Taiyin Divine Sect feared this power, how formidable must it be?
Apart from Mysterious Moon Palace, was there such a powerful force in Great Sum?
While Lu Yi was thinking, a sinister wind blew by, and then he felt as though he was being lifted by someone. The next moment, Lu Yi was taken by a person of the Taiyin Divine Sect and they fled.
Wei Feiren had personally come to find Lu Yi mainly because Lu Yi and Lu Chen were brothers. If their Sect Hierarch could reincarnate into Lu Yi's body first, it might be possible to use the power of bloodlines to employ some tricks on Lu Chen.
However, Wei Feiren hadn't anticipated that they would encounter people from the Sunset Sword Sect here.
Seeing the Taiyin Divine Sect trying to escape with Lu Yi, Li Yu immediately said to the Pseudo Celestial beside him, "Junior Brother, go handle Lu Yi, I'll deal with Wei Feiren."
Stay tuned with empire
The man beside Li Yu simply uttered a "Sure," and the next moment, his body turned into a shadowy figure, dashing toward the direction where Lu Yi was fleeing.
Seeing this scene, Wei Feiren was stunned for a moment; he had thought Li Yu was after him, but he had actually sent someone to go after Lu Yi instead.
This wouldn't do—Lu Yi was an important pawn for their Taiyin Divine Sect.
Wei Feiren immediately wanted to follow and hold back Li Yu's Junior Brother, but just as he was about to move, Li Yu appeared in front of Wei Feiren blocking his path.
"Elder Wei, where do you think you're going?"
"Elder Wei, you killed so many of our Sunset Sword Sect members back in the day, it's about time to settle the debt!"
Seeing his way blocked, Wei Feiren scoffed coldly. Both having entered the Unity Realm and both being Pseudo Celestials, he didn't believe he was no match for Li Yu.
Immediately, Wei Feiren charged at Li Yu, and they began to clash.
Although a fight between Pseudo Celestials wasn't as spectacular as a battle between Celestials, the destructive force was still enormous, toppling trees in the forest one after another.
The soldiers in the military camp were frightened and fled in all directions.
Meanwhile.
Li Yu's Junior Brother had already blocked the person from the Taiyin Divine Sect who was fleeing with Lu Yi, only for that person to be so terrified by the pursuit of a Pseudo Celestial that he simply abandoned Lu Yi on the spot.
After falling from the sky, Lu Yi was completely stunned.
His mood at the moment was like tumbling from the Immortal Realm into hell.
He had just managed to make a connection with the Taiyin Divine Sect when, unexpectedly, he triggered such a formidable power.
At that moment, Lu Yi quickly steadied himself and called out to the distant figure, "Senior, I am a Prince of Great Sum, not a person of the Taiyin Divine Sect, and I was held hostage by them. Please do not kill the wrong person."
No sooner had Lu Yi finished speaking than Li Yu's Junior Brother immediately swung his sword. The next moment, Lu Yi's head was separated from his body.
Lu Yi, deceased!
In his dying moment, Lu Yi still felt extremely aggrieved. He had always thought that the Sunset Sword Sect had come looking for the Taiyin Divine Sect and that he was just implicated. Little did he know that the Sunset Sword Sect had come specifically to kill him.
