Chapter 4145: Nangong Family Makes a Move

If Murong Yilong escaped, the Chaos Beasts would immediately kill him, and the Murong family would surely suffer significant losses.

With a Grand Perfection Pseudo Immortal and multiple mid-grade Immortal Slaying Cannons present, it wouldn't be easy for Murong Yilong to escape, but he was unwilling to surrender. He had cultivated the Dao for many years, finally achieving the peak True Spirit realm and mastering the laws. He was just preparing to demonstrate his abilities, unify the Tianchen Sea, and lead the Murong family to glory.

"Lord Sheng, it seems he won't give up until he's faced with utter defeat. Let's just eliminate him!" the young woman in the purple dress said, raising her right hand. A short knife, shimmering with purple light, appeared in her hand, emitting terrifying immortal energy fluctuations. It was a top-grade immortal artifact.

Although both were Golden Immortals, Pseudo Immortals were a rank lower than Chaos Beasts, a distinction of hierarchy. "A top-grade immortal artifact!"

Murong Yilong's expression turned grim. Just moments ago, he had clung to a sliver of hope, intending to use his mastered laws to break out with Murong Yilei and Du Yan. Now, with the opponent revealing a top-grade immortal artifact, he had no illusions left. The other side surely had more trump cards, and if he resisted to the end, they would certainly go for the kill.

"I'll first contact my clansmen to inquire about the battle situation," Murong Yilong said. "If you've killed too many of my clan, I would rather die fighting than join you."

"No problem, you can contact them now," Sheng agreed.

Murong Yilong nodded to Du Yan. Du Yan took out a golden, shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror, cast a spell into it, and the mirror surface lit up brightly, revealing Murong Tianbao's face. He looked pale, as if his immortal spiritual power was excessively depleted.

"Tianbao, how are things on your end?" Du Yan asked.

"Mutated six-colored Chaos Beasts are leading the attack. We can only resist with formation arrays and won't last much longer. The other two mystic cities are the same; mutated six-colored Chaos Beasts are leading the siege there too, and they won't hold out for long either. Ancestor, have you repelled the Chaos Beasts' attack?" Murong Tianbao asked.

"Almost there, it's nearly resolved. Hold out for a bit longer; once we deal with the Chaos Beasts, we'll immediately come to support you," Du Yan said, cutting off the connection.

"You want to plant a restriction on us?" Murong Yilong asked.

"No need," the young woman in the purple dress said coldly. "Just leave some of your vital blood and a portion of your divine soul. If you dare to renege on your word, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal will personally curse you to death."

Murong Yilong sighed. The three of them took out some of their vital blood and separated a wisp of their split soul, handing them over to the other party.

"From now on, Xu Qian will be your contact person, responsible for communicating with you. Xu Qian, give them the Immortal Concealing Pendants. These were refined by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Unless the Cao family uses a top-grade Immortal Measuring Mirror to test you, they won't discover any issues. Go and support your clansmen! You can kill some Chaos Beasts, and I will order them to retreat." Sheng said, then flew back the way they came, with the other Chaos Beasts following suit.

Xu Qian flicked her sleeve, and three golden, shimmering jade pendants flew out, landing in front of Murong Yilong and the other two. The golden dragon boat emitted a dazzling golden light and followed them.

In Chiyan City, all immortals except Murong Yilong and his two companions had been killed by the Chaos Beasts. Cultivators below the True Immortal realm had hidden in spatial Mystic Sky Treasures and were unaware of the external events. Apart from the three of them, no other clansmen knew they had defected to the Chaos Beasts.

"Let's go! We'll go support our other clansmen. Keep this matter a secret; don't tell anyone else. The fewer people who know, the safer we'll be," Murong Yilong said. He put away the Immortal Concealing Pendants, returned to Chiyan City, and teleported to other cities to support his other clansmen.

Fuyou City, a ground city controlled by the Fuyou clan.

Outside the city lay numerous corpses of Chaos Beasts. The city walls of Fuyou City had collapsed, and large numbers of Chaos Beasts rushed into the city, battling immortals.

A giant, eight-colored Chaos Beast was locked in combat with a gracefully shaped young woman in a purple dress. Its right hand grasped a black copper hammer. It swung the black copper hammer at the young woman in the purple dress. As she tried to evade, a powerful gravitational force, the Law of Gravity, emanated from the ground.

The eight-colored Chaos Beast was indeed Lei. During its last attack on Tianming City, it captured two Grand Unity Golden Immortals and then apprehended several more Grand Unity Golden Immortals to sacrifice to the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda, gaining an opportunity for evolution. It evolved again, mastering the laws. Over the past hundred thousand years, it had consumed many immortal medicines, gaining an additional color, becoming eight-colored.

The young woman in the purple dress felt her body sink, and she uncontrollably fell towards the ground. Before she could free herself from the gravity, the black copper hammer struck, easily shattering her protective spiritual light. The black copper hammer hit the young woman in the purple dress, sending her flying backward like a kite with a broken string. She crashed heavily onto the ground, her body bleeding profusely. A thick, black iron chain shot out, piercing her left rib, and to her horror, she found that she couldn't use her immortal spiritual power.

Lei grabbed a thick, black iron chain and pulled hard. The young woman in the purple dress flew towards it, bound to Lei's body by the black iron chain. Large numbers of immortals were captured.

"Retreat according to the original plan; the immortal reinforcements will arrive soon," Lei said loudly, then quickly left with its clansmen.

In Tianfeng City, the streets were bustling with crowds and the clamor of carriages and horses.

A sprawling estate, its plaque bearing the three golden characters "Tianfeng Garden." Within the estate were pavilions, towers, artificial hills, and gardens.

A shapely young woman in a white dress sat in a hexagonal azure stone pavilion, her aura vast as the ocean. This was Nangong Yuwei, an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

A tall, slender young man in a green robe was reporting to Nangong Yuwei, his expression serious. This was Nangong Yunfeng, a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Ancestor Yuwei," the young man in the green robe slowly said, "the four tribes under the Chahar Tribe have jointly attacked the five ground cities under Tianfeng City's jurisdiction. Yunlang City was not their true target this time; their real objectives were Fuyou City and Jiuyuan City. Several fellow Daoists have been captured, and the Chaos Beasts attacking Yunlang City have already retreated."

"Feigning an attack here while striking elsewhere—they're using that trick again. It seems if we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think we're pushovers," Nangong Yuwei said, her face filled with murderous intent. "Notify Yueshuo to lead five hundred True Spirits to intercept and eliminate these Chaos Beasts from the Hulan Mountains. Also, deploy ten thousand Immortal Armored Soldiers. We must make them feel the pain, preferably annihilating the entire Hulan Tribe. Pass down the order for Yunlang City, Wuxian City, Yujian City, and Liuyun City to each send five hundred True Spirits and three thousand Immortal Armored Soldiers to cooperate with us against the Hulan Tribe."

"Letting Ancestor Yueshuo lead the team? Wouldn't that be too risky?" Nangong Yunfeng asked cautiously.

Nangong Yueshuo was a key cultivation prospect; if anything went wrong, it would be troublesome. If the Nangong family didn't retaliate, the Chahar Tribe would launch an even larger beast tide next time. In the last major battle, the Nangong family suffered heavy losses and had not yet recovered its strength.

"The Hulan Tribe is not easy to deal with; an eight-colored Chaos Beast has appeared. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Yueshuo act," Nangong Yuwei instructed. "Send the order immediately; don't let them escape back into the Hulan Mountains."

"Yes, Ancestor Yuwei," Nangong Yunfeng replied. He agreed and left to carry out the order.
