Chapter 2615: Encounter

“It really is all up to luck. Hahahaha. Martial Soul lineage, I was just worrying about how I would find you, but all of you would actually be on the Cloud Plane. This is fantastic. It looks like even the heavens are helping me.” Gongsun Zhi laughed aloud. Impatient, he immediately urged the three people behind him and said, “Quick, quick quick. Go over there. Don’t let them escape. Not only will I kill that traitor Jian Chen this time and take back the Method of the Exalted Saint, but I want the Martial Soul lineage devastated as well.”

Although he knew Jian Chen and the Martial Soul lineage were currently on the Cloud Plane, Gongsun Zhi’s cultivation was only equivalent to G.o.dking. All of his senses were limited. He was unable to see what was going on in the southern region from the central region.

Basically only Grand Primes and an extremely limited number of Chaotic Primes could do that.

“Don’t panic, leader. The Martial Soul lineage is currently locked in an intense battle with some other organisation on the Cloud Plane. It’s impossible for them to leave any time soon,” said the grey-robed, skinny old man from behind Gongsun Zhi. With that, he swung his hand, and an invisible energy immediately wrapped around Gongsun Zhi. Afterwards, the two of them vanished.

The two middle-aged men who had come with Gongsun Zhi stared in the direction of the southern region. Their profound gazes seemed to be able to pierce through s.p.a.ce, allowing them to witness the battle in the southern region.

“Gongsun Zhi really is a little too hopeful seeing how he wants to devastate the Martial Soul lineage. They’re not that easy to wipe out,” one of the middle-aged men said indifferently.

He was called Xu Zhiping, the ancestors of a renowned peak clan on the Desolate Plane, the Xu family.

“Although the Martial Soul lineage has been devastated before through history, the people who did that were basically all Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Gongsun Zhi is still too young after all. His understanding of the Martial Soul lineage is still rather limited. He is dreaming if he wants to devastate the Martial Soul lineage. However, his G.o.dslayer’s sword might be able to pose some threat to the Martial Soul lineage,” the other middle-aged man added relaxedly.

He was Huangfu Guiyi, the ancestors of another peak clan on the Desolate Plane, the Midheaven clan.

Both the Xu family and the Midheaven clan were existences that stood at the very peak of the Desolate Plane. Before the Radiant Saint Hall gained their protector swords, the two clans were definitely more powerful than the Radiant Saint Hall.

As a matter of fact, the Xu family and Midheaven clan could be described as terrifying existences only second to the Celestial Sword Saint.

“Fortunately, the protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall aren’t on the same page, or there’ll be far more than just Gongsun Zhi. However, that might not be good for us,” said Huangfu Guiyi.

The ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Zhiping, nodded. “Fellow Guiyi, we should go as well. If we’re late, we’ll make that kid Gongsun Zhi unhappy. If he suddenly changes his mind and refuses to give the three other protector swords to the juniors of our clans, we’ll be in for a great loss.”

“Yeah, it’s best if we do our utmost to avoid making Gongsun Zhi change his mind before we get the protector swords. Even though he’s basically like a scoundrel, he is the only successor of the Tower of Radiance. For the sake of the protector swords, we’ll just endure it for now,” said Huangfu Guiyi. With that, the two of them suddenly vanished.

Deafening rumbles constantly rang out in the southern region. Terrifying pulses of energy shook up the surroundings. Every single attack from Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji was devastating. They would erupt with blinding light when they struck the protective formations of the Four Symbols Alliance, causing it to shake.

Now, the surroundings bore no resemblance to the past. A huge crater had appeared, and the surrounding mountains had all been flattened.

“I can already sense that the protective formation of the Four Symbols Alliance is weakening. It looks like they can’t last for much longer,” Zhou Zhidao called out eagerly and excitedly.

He knew that once the protective formation was destroyed, the Four Symbols Alliance would be completely destroyed, and from then onwards, the Cloud Plane would only have a Righteous Alliance.

“Their attacks are too powerful. The formation’s energy has depleted faster than we expected. We can’t last much longer,” Gong Ji growled from within the Four Symbols Alliance.

“Don’t panic. I’ll take action the moment the formation breaks,” the young star lord said emotionlessly as a vicious light appeared in his eyes.

With that, all the unsettled people in the Four Symbols Alliance calmed down slightly.

The young star lord had basically become what everyone in the Four Symbols Alliance depended on.

“I hope the young star lord can really turn the tide of the battle,” many people of the Four Symbols Alliance secretly prayed.

At this moment, two figures appeared silently behind the Righteous Alliance. They were Gongsun Zhi and the grey-robed, skinny old man.

As soon as Gongsun Zhi arrived, his expression changed slightly from the terrifying pulses of energy that shook up the surroundings. He had never seen such an intense battle and such turbulent energy.

“What happened here?” Gongsun Zhi thought. He calmed down very soon and began to look around. He directly glanced past the Four Symbols Alliance and Righteous Alliance before locking onto the illusionary Martial Soul Mountain that hovered in outer s.p.a.ce.

At the same time, Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji sensed Gongsun Zhi’s arrival. They subconsciously stopped their attacks and all stared at the skinny old man. Their faces changed slightly.

“Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime!” Tong Wuming, Lieyan Wuji, and Zhou Zhidao looked at each other. They became rather stern. They could already tell the old man’s strength. He was actually at the same level as the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

“It’s actually Sha Yun from the Divine Blade sect.” In outer s.p.a.ce, Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Zhao immediately discovered Gongsun Zhi’s arrival as well. They all stared at the old man and frowned.

At the same time, Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi appeared silently, standing beside the skinny old man.

Their appearance immediately made Hun Zang, Chu Jian, and Yue Chao become stern.

“Xu Zhiping of the Xu family and Huangfu Guiyi of the Midheaven clan. The two of them have actually both come.” This time, Hun Zang’s voice was rather stern. Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi gave them much greater pressure than Sha Yun.

With that, Jian Chen looked over. He was not familiar with Sha Yun, Huangfu Guiyi, and Gongsun Zhi, but he recognised Gongsun Zhi with a single glance and sensed that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

“Hahaha, Jian Chen, this leader of the Radiant Saint Hall has finally found you and the Martial Soul lineage! You can’t escape this time,” Gongsun Zhi bellowed out from below. Immediately, an extremely powerful streak of light erupted from his body. It was blinding like the sun, illuminating the surroundings.

The greatest protector sword, G.o.dslayer’s sword, appeared in his hand. The sword erupted with an earth-shaking pulse of energy. It was so powerful that as soon as it appeared, it caused s.p.a.ce to shake and warp with great intensity. The expressions of Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji all changed drastically.
