Chapter 3968: Water Flooding Jinshan Temple

In a vast, boundless blue sea, a colossal ship, shimmering with golden light, flew swiftly from a distance.

A group of Tianchen Sect disciples stood on the deck. Leading them was a golden-robed old man with a round face and small eyes, and behind him was an eighteen-story golden pavilion.

Cui Ming, in the Late True Immortal stage, was the Head of the Tianchen Sect's Procurement Hall.

"We're almost at the main headquarters," said a thin young man in a green shirt with a smile. "Once we're back, we can finally get some good rest."

No sooner had he spoken than the calm sea surface began to boil, churning and surging. A massive whirlpool appeared out of nowhere, with the golden ship directly in its center, and a powerful suction force materialized.

The golden ship uncontrollably flew towards the giant whirlpool, and alarms blared loudly.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Cui Ming cried out in alarm, his face turning pale.

Just then, a white light streak flew out from the golden pavilion, revealing a voluptuous young woman in a white dress.

The young woman in white had eyes like water, and a terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from her.

"Junior Martial Aunt Bai!" Cui Ming exclaimed, breathing a sigh of relief.

The young woman in white was Bai Tianxue. She was in the early Golden Immortal stage, having advanced less than twenty thousand years ago, and was a hidden power within the Tianchen Sect.

There was no other choice; the Bright Moon Alliance frequently clashed with the Nine Immortals Sect, often conscripting Immortals from the Tianchen Sect to participate in battles.

Bai Tianxue raised her right hand. A banner shimmering with white light flew out and plunged into the whirlpool below. The whirlpool instantly froze and stopped rotating.

"Immediately send a message to Senior Martial Brother Cui, requesting reinforcements," Bai Tianxue ordered. This was Tianchen Sect territory; the enemies dared to ambush them here, which showed considerable audacity.

She hadn't yet cultivated her laws to the minor completion stage, so she dared not be careless.

Cui Ming nodded and took out a golden, shimmering immortal transmission mirror. Just then, the sea surface burst open. Eighteen colossal blue water dragons flew out from the seabed, attacking from all directions with immense momentum.

The sea surface churned and surged, raising colossal waves that crashed from all directions. Wherever they passed, deafening roars echoed, and the void warped and distorted.

Bai Tianxue's willow-like eyebrows furrowed. Blinding white light erupted from her right hand, and she slapped downwards. A white halo swept out, and wherever it passed, the void rapidly froze, the ice spreading as the white halo expanded.

The white halo touched the eighteen blue water dragons. Like an egg hitting a rock, it was instantly torn to shreds by the eighteen blue water dragons.

"Minor completion of laws! A Golden Immortal cultivator!" Bai Tianxue exclaimed. The opponent's attack easily shattered her Law of Ice, indicating that their laws had reached minor completion. In the Tianchen Sea Domain, minor completion of laws definitely implied a Golden Immortal cultivator.

She dared not be careless. With a flick of her sleeve, eighteen white, shimmering flying daggers shot out, meeting the eighteen blue water dragons. At the same time, she summoned a small, white, shimmering bell and infused it with immortal essence.

The small white bell emitted blinding white light, instantly expanding.

A series of "clang, clang, clang" bell sounds rang out, and white sound waves swept out, meeting the attack.

The white flying daggers collided with the blue water dragons, producing dull "clanging" sounds, and were sent flying back. The blue water dragons, with their overwhelming momentum, tore the white sound waves to shreds.

Bai Tianxue was greatly startled. She could tell that she was no match for her opponent.

Bai Tianxue's body glowed with bright white light. She transformed into a chilling gust of wind and vanished, utilizing the Law of Wind.

Cui Ming and the other Tianchen Sect disciples were not so fortunate. The eighteen blue water dragons crashed into the golden ship, tearing it into pieces and turning it into a pile of scrap metal. The Tianchen Sect disciples on board were also torn to shreds, and not even their Nascent Souls managed to escape.

Eighteen massive water spouts shot into the sky, converging to form a gigantic blue water curtain, inverted over the sea surface for a million li in circumference.

A white light appeared near the blue water curtain, revealing Bai Tianxue's figure.

A surge of blue flame erupted from Bai Tianxue's right hand, and she slapped it towards the blue water curtain. The blue water curtain dented inwards, and its surface froze. At the same time, with a flick of her sleeve, three mini mountain peaks, shimmering with white light, flew out. They instantly expanded and merged into one, crashing towards the blue water curtain with astonishing chill.

With a deafening boom, the blue water curtain dented further, and spiritual light flickered incessantly.

The sea water boiled, and countless blue water droplets, numbering in the billions, flew up, surging directly towards Bai Tianxue and blocking her escape route.

Billions of blue water droplets flew towards her. Wherever they passed, the void tore open, leaving thick, long cracks.

The void within a million li radius was like a massive spider web, covered in cracks.

Bai Tianxue was greatly startled. She quickly summoned a white, shimmering round bead. Infusing it with a magic incantation, the white bead emitted blinding white light, transforming into a white ice python that charged forward. At the same time, she formed a hand seal, and the towering peak emitted a brilliant white light, also charging forward.

The dense blue water droplets struck the white ice python and the towering peak. The white ice python let out an excruciating shriek of pain, reverted to its original form—a white, shimmering round bead—which then shattered into pieces.

The towering peak was riddled with holes, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

"Impossible!" Bai Tianxue exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief. "Even a minor completion of laws shouldn't be able to easily destroy a mid-grade immortal artifact!"

She had no time to think further. The dense blue water droplets shot forward, aiming directly at Bai Tianxue.

Bai Tianxue tried to evade, but a massive blue cage materialized out of thin air. The blue cage was crystal clear; it was a Divine Sense cage.

A white light shone from Bai Tianxue's glabella, and a white light blade shot out, striking the blue cage. The blue cage instantly shattered. However, the dense blue water droplets were already upon her.

Her body glowed with bright white light, and a white halo swept out. At the same time, the white jade pendant on her chest emitted blinding white light, and a white light barrier appeared.

The white halo and the white light barrier were like paper, instantly shattering.

The dense blue water droplets pierced through Bai Tianxue's body, leaving it riddled with holes.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of her body, was seized by a large blue hand, and plunged into the seabed.

Deep in the seabed, a blue-robed young man with ordinary features held the miniature Nascent Soul in his right hand. He was Wang Changsheng, who had altered his appearance.

He did not know the specific route of the merchant convoy, so he directly ambushed them in the Tianchen Sect's territory.

After cultivating a new technique, he mastered a new divine ability: "Water Inundates Golden Mountain." When this ability was performed using the Core Fusion Art, its destructive power and range were greatly increased.

Wang Changsheng collected the belongings of Bai Tianxue and the others, destroyed the bodies, and left the area.

Tianchen Island, the main headquarters of the Tianchen Sect.

In the Tianchen Hall, a majestic silver-robed old man sat on the main seat, his face filled with murderous intent.

A voluptuous young woman in a green dress was reporting to the silver-robed old man, her expression grim.

"Someone planted a spy within our ranks; he has been uncovered," the young woman in the green dress said. "He was ordered to investigate the merchant convoy's situation. It's likely they are responsible."

"Who are they?" the silver-robed old man asked, frowning. "Has the Enforcement Hall not found out yet?"

Tianchen True Monarch, a Mid-stage Golden Immortal, was furious. The Tianchen Sect had painstakingly cultivated a Golden Immortal cultivator, only for them to be killed in Tianchen Sect territory. This was intolerable.

"No," the young woman in the green dress reported. "The traitor didn't know the identity of the perpetrators. It could be the Meng family, or even if it's not them, it's connected to the Nine Immortals Sect."

It was no secret that the Meng family had frequently clashed with the Tianchen Sect in recent years.

"Since the Meng family is seeking their own demise," Tianchen True Monarch said, his voice filled with murderous intent, "they shouldn't blame me for being impolite."

Unable to find the true culprit, he decided to make an example of the Meng family. This would also serve as a warning to other forces: if the Tianchen Sect did nothing, their enemies would become even more audacious.

"Release the news that the Nine Immortals Sect sent people to ambush and kill our Tianchen Sect cultivators," Tianchen True Monarch ordered. "I will personally go to Xuanhuo Island and destroy the Meng family." He ordered this, knowing that the Tianchen Sect and the Meng family were old adversaries, so destroying the Meng family was nothing.

He gave a few instructions and then left Tianchen Island.
