Chapter 775: 769. The Vicious Plot Against the Immortal Sect! "Indeed, you are quite suited to join the Covering Sky Pavilion."
Di Ting lavishly praised a Mountain Suppression Upper Realm member from the Hundred Sects Alliance.
After a few more compliments, he instructed Wen Venerable to proceed as planned.
Within half an hour, the members of the Hundred Sects Alliance encircled the scattered people at the Vast City Inn, barring them from leaving.
Alliance Leader Pei Wu had no choice but to continue residing at the inn, becoming a "prisoner."
Meanwhile, orders to attack the Immortal Sect were issued once more, causing an uproar throughout Vast City.
Especially with the knowledge that Earth Unrestricted experts would assist, the excitement grew even more intense.
All Four-star Giant Influences are aware of the profound mystery of the Immortal Sect’s Vein Technique, and its Vortex Map is unparalleled in the world; they all desire it.
As Vast City fervently prepared for the siege, Pei Wu grew increasingly anxious at the inn.
He had no time to worry about the Immortal Sect.
He was more concerned about himself.
After the Immortal Sect, it would likely be the scattered people’s turn.
Of course, Pei Wu was not the only one anxious; other scattered members also wanted to leave Vast City quickly.
"Alliance Leader, we must find a way to escape and return to our own territory; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Alliance Leader, I have a plan!"
"Just break through forcefully; let’s see if they can stop us!"
Irritated by the noise, Pei Wu snapped his iron fan shut and shouted, "Enough; the Hundred Sects Alliance hasn’t even breached our doors, and we’re already panicking. Contact our people within the Hundred Sects Alliance and have them find out their plan to attack the Immortal Sect, at all costs!"
Only by knowing their plan could he determine the best time to leave Vast City.
The siege of the Immortal Sect was no small matter, and the Mountain Suppression Realm experts within Vast City would be largely diverted; knowing when they would depart was crucial.
We must not be confined to this inn, blind to the situation!
...
Seven days later.
"Rise!"
"Rise!"
Beside the dormitories, Chen Pingping gritted his teeth and glared at the sword at his feet.
The sword lifted a foot off the ground.
Then fell back down with a thud.
Repeating the process over and over...
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but cheer.
As a mother, her anxiety was evident.
Zi Ran chuckled softly beside her and said, "Little Yi, let the child rest for a moment; he can still practice the Sword Control Skill while resting in the dormitory."
"Rest for fifteen minutes." Jiang Yi nodded and called out to Chen Pingping.
But Chen Pingping’s eyes widened even more.
It seemed he wished he could stare the sword into pieces.
"This kid," Zi Ran smiled wryly, "he’s got a tenacity just like his father when he was young, but he’s too fixated. Sword Control Skill isn’t something that happens overnight; even if he can use Sword Control in the Body Refining Realm, the sword won’t have much power. Yet this kid is still thinking about using Sword Control against the enemy."
Jiang Yi also laughed out loud.
Just then, Chen Xie rushed over.
Upon seeing Zi Ran, he abandoned his usual etiquette and asked directly, "Master, where is the Sect Leader?"
"What happened?"
Zi Ran could sense Chen Xie’s urgency.
Chen Xie replied gravely, "Seven days ago, the Hundred Sects Alliance issued an order to attack the Immortal Sect, led personally by the Golden Level Chief, even halting the centennial event for this purpose!"
Zi Ran rose abruptly.
Her expression grew more serious.
"Summon all the elders to the Main Hall, and I will invite the Sect Leader!"
Zi Ran knew that the Hundred Sects Alliance was likely determined.
Otherwise, why halt the centennial event for the Immortal Sect?
"Master, I’ll go summon all the elders now." Chen Xie immediately headed towards Churao Mountain.
Meanwhile, Zi Ran set out for the mountains to search for Wen Ping.
Half an hour later, Wen Ping arrived at the Main Hall.
All Immortal Sect Elders gathered in the Main Hall.
