Earth-Prime Hall base.
Adrian Moon ordered a banquet to welcome the five Profound Immortal elders from Gale Division.
During the feast, the five Profound Immortal elders acted very politely, showing none of the usual arrogance of Gale Division. Of course, part of the reason was the immortal stones.
Adrian Moon paid five hundred million immortal stones for each elder to sit in at Earth-Prime Hall. Victor Sima took two hundred million from each payment, but every elder still received three hundred million immortal stones.
So, in their eyes, Adrian Moon was basically a walking treasure chest.
The second reason was Adrian Moon’s close connection with Ian Song. After all, Gale Division still relied on Ian’s pills to earn immortal stones, so before sending them out, Victor Sima repeatedly instructed the elders to cooperate with Adrian at Earth-Prime Hall. If anyone tried to put on airs, he’d flip out.
Adrian Moon did not disappoint the five elders from Gale Division.
After the banquet, he presented each of them with a storage ring.
With a sweep of their immortal senses, they could tell each ring held at least fifty million immortal stones. Instantly, all five Profound Immortal elders were grinning from ear to ear, their eyes narrowed to slits, and their attitude became even more polite.
After sending off the five elders, Adrian Moon’s face once again showed worry. He vaguely felt that the native Immortal clans were coming in force, and the five Profound Immortal elders might not be able to hold them off.
"Hall Master, maybe things aren’t as bad as you think!"
Seeing Adrian Moon’s worried face, Lily Liu gently comforted him.
"Let’s hope so."
Adrian Moon nodded.
Queenie Green said nothing; truthfully, she wasn’t confident either.
"Brother Adrian, Sister Queenie, look up at the sky!"
Suddenly, Lily Liu pointed at the sky in shock. Three enormous Immortal ships appeared overhead, their decks packed with people—at least two thousand across all three ships.
"The Yao, Xuanyuan, and Bu Families of the Purple Dragon Domain have joined forces to wipe out the Dark Covenant remnants! Anyone who doesn’t want to die, kneel and beg for mercy now, and you might be spared!"
A booming voice echoed from the sky, coming from a Profound Immortal expert standing on one of the ships.
As the saying goes, a person’s reputation precedes them. The Purple Dragon Domain is one of the Eight Immortal Domains of the Langya Immortal World, and the Yao, Bu, and Xuanyuan Families are its most powerful forces. Even just one of them would be terrifying—now all three have come at once.
Instantly, despair appeared on the faces of all the Golden Immortals in Earth-Prime Hall. Even the five Profound Immortal elders from Gale Division trembled, their expressions frozen.
The Profound Immortal looked down from above at the Immortals of Earth-Prime Hall. He stepped forward, standing in midair, and spoke again: "Anyone who doesn’t kneel and beg for mercy within ten breaths will be killed without exception!"
Thud!
Someone couldn’t take the pressure and dropped to their knees, begging for mercy.
Although the first to kneel was just an Earth Immortal, Adrian Moon, Queenie Green, and Lily Liu’s faces instantly turned grim.
Thud! Thud!
With someone leading the way, more and more Immortals knelt and begged for mercy—even some Golden Immortals.
Seeing this, Adrian Moon’s eyes filled with deep disappointment. The battle hadn’t even started, and just a threat had made so many surrender.
The Profound Immortal floating in midair loudly mocked, "Spineless cowards, just as expected!"
Those kneeling and begging for mercy showed humiliation on their faces, but as long as they could keep their lives, what did a little shame matter?
Soon, ten breaths had passed.
Of the ten thousand Earth Immortals, three thousand knelt and surrendered. Out of over seven hundred Golden Immortals, three hundred begged for mercy. As for Human Immortals, more than ninety percent were on their knees.
On the other side...
The five Profound Immortal elders from Gale Division looked extremely grim.
"What should we do?" one of them asked.
Another glanced around and said, "Earth-Prime Hall is finished! There are over two thousand Golden Immortals on those three ships, and thirty-three Profound Immortals. Even if we fight to the death, we can’t protect Earth-Prime Hall!"
"Exactly! We can’t save Earth-Prime Hall. Rather than die for nothing, we should preserve our strength and look for revenge later!"
"No time to waste—let’s go!"
"Agreed!"
In the next moment, the five Profound Immortal elders turned into five streaks of light, shooting up into the sky in a certain direction.
"They...?!"
Seeing the five Profound Immortal elders flee without even saying goodbye, Adrian Moon nearly collapsed, despair flooding his heart. Their last hope had run—what could they possibly use to resist the Immortal army of the three great clans?
Hmph!
Just then, a cold snort came from the Immortal ships, and five figures shot out, chasing after the fleeing elders.
The Profound Immortal floating in midair waved his hand, and instantly the Golden Immortals on the ship flew up, charging toward Earth-Prime Hall.
A grand formation rose up, shielding all of Earth-Prime Hall.
But more than two thousand Golden Immortals swung their Immortal Artifacts at the formation in unison.
With over two thousand Golden Immortals attacking together, the force was overwhelming—even Profound Immortals wouldn’t dare take it head-on.
Boom! Boom!
The grand formation shook violently, its light growing dimmer and dimmer. After just two seconds, it shattered with a roar, and the two thousand Golden Immortals surged forward, launching a slaughter.
"Let’s fight them!"
Adrian Moon’s eyes turned red as he raised his Immortal Artifact and charged forward.
"Hall Master, I’ll fight by your side!"
Peter Yan shouted, swinging his Immortal Artifact and following Adrian Moon into the fray. The other Golden Immortals were stunned—everyone knew Peter Yan was famous for being timid and cautious, yet now he dared to stand against the three great clans.
"Good brother, I didn’t misjudge you!"
Adrian Moon was surprised as well. He’d promoted Peter Yan for his honesty and reliability, but had always looked down on his timidity. Who would’ve thought that today, the Golden Immortals who talked big all surrendered, while Peter Yan refused to yield and dared to fight alongside him.
Maybe inspired by Peter Yan, the other Golden Immortals who hadn’t surrendered also raised their Immortal Artifacts, charging out alongside Queenie Green and Lily Liu.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in midair.
"Hey! Things sure are lively here!"
Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a handsome young man in white robes floating in the sky, his long sleeves billowing.
"Young Master Song, why are you here? Leave quickly!"
Seeing that the newcomer was Ian Song, Adrian Moon was deeply moved, but quickly urged him to leave.
"You want me to leave as soon as I arrive? That’s not very kind, Hall Master Adrian. I even brought you a present!"
As he spoke, Ian Song casually waved his hand, and five bloody heads appeared in midair.
"Five Profound Immortal heads—Adrian, are you satisfied with this gift?" Ian Song asked with a bright smile.
The Golden Immortals who had rushed into Earth-Prime Hall were stunned at the sight of the five heads—they belonged to their own Profound Immortals.
Two of them were even mid-stage Profound Immortals.
Could they all have been killed by this white-robed youth? If so, his strength was simply terrifying!
