Chapter 1027: Drive Out
A few days later.
Outside Abundant Snow Mountain.
Within a barrier, several Immortals sat cross-legged, exchanging glances.
An Immortal with dark, horn-like protrusions on his head immediately spoke: "There's still no contact. . . Old Huo probably failed. . ."
"Brother Long's words are right. The Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce has been dominant for so many years, so naturally, it has some hidden depths."
Another black-robed Immortal spoke: "How about. . . we change our target?"
The Immortal surnamed Long felt a surge of unwillingness. Wisps of red light emanated from the horns on his head, and striking red lines snaked across them.
He was of a special race in the True Immortal World—the 'Dragon-human Clan'. This race was naturally skilled in Body Cultivation, and even after reaching the True Immortal realm, they still excelled in body refinement. Their combat prowess was considerable among other Immortals, subtly positioning him as the leader of this small group of Calamity Immortals.
The Immortal surnamed Long said: "Wait three more days. I'll activate another hidden line I laid down previously to thoroughly scout out the situation. . ."
"Oh? Brother Long even has another hidden line?"
The other red-robed Immortal's eyes lit up: "Truly far-sighted and strategic. . ."
"It's merely a dormant piece I placed before. Before I activate the restriction, he probably wouldn't even know he's an undercover agent. . ."
The Immortal surnamed Long smiled faintly.
Immortals have long lifespans. When he first conceived this idea, he had already spent tens of thousands of years planting spies within various major forces.
Essentially, it was just a matter of identifying a few promising individuals beforehand, then casting a restriction on them, and secretly investing.
Though many were lost, as long as one or two climbed into crucial positions, it would be a huge profit.
The restriction he cast was based on a unique divine ability of the Dragon-human Clan; ordinary detection methods absolutely couldn't uncover it.
Just as he was about to say something more, his expression suddenly changed.
Whoosh!
A layer of barrier was torn open, and countless icy winds surged in.
Several figures appeared, none other than Fang Xi, Xu Qing, and the Immortal surnamed Ying, along with other Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce Immortals!
"So it's Fellow Daoist Long, Fellow Daoist Chi. . ."
Xu Qing's gaze swept over them slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer: "For you all to linger outside our Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce headquarters is a bit too much. . ."
The Immortal surnamed Long's heart tensed, then he laughed: "What's wrong? Must we report to you even if we, the 'Dragon Mountain Five Friends', decide to rest here for a bit?"
"Enough, let's cut the idle chatter. . ."
Fang Xi shook his head and casually tossed out a Mahayana corpse.
Seeing this, the Immortal surnamed Long's eyelids twitched. This Mahayana cultivator was precisely the hidden spy he had planted.
He wondered why he had been directly discovered?
"Even if you turn around and leave now, you'll feel unwilling and cause trouble again in the future."
Fang Xi shook his head: "Either way, we'll have to fight. This is a good opportunity to establish our might and deter petty individuals!"
His implied meaning was that he intended to treat the Dragon Mountain Five Friends as soft persimmons to squeeze.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal surnamed Long immediately flew into a rage: "What audacious words! I'd like to see what confidence your Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce has to dare speak such things!"
"Leave this one to me."
Fang Xi nodded slightly, and with a sweep of the Earth Virtue Sword in his hand.
Countless illusory mountain ranges descended from the sky, vaguely forming a Myriad Mountains Array that trapped the Immortal surnamed Long within.
"I can only barely hold back one person according to the previous plan. . ."
The Immortal surnamed Ying gave a bitter smile, then abruptly transformed into countless black shadows, engaging in a fight with the red-robed Immortal.
Xu Qing shook his head, looking at the remaining three Dragon Mountain Immortals.
"Xu Qing. . ."
The three Immortals exchanged glances, their expressions unutterably solemn: "You've always been the Pavilion Master's confidant. It seems you've been deeply hidden, truly a hidden card?"
"Me?"
Xu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was filled with confidence: "Precisely. . . Today, you three will have to leave something behind. Attack!"
Before his words fell, a terrifying divine demon statue instantly appeared, unleashing power capable of tearing apart the heavens and rending the earth with its first strike.
Countless fragments of void shattered, seemingly turning into turbulent currents that slammed towards the three Immortals opposite them.
"Immortal puppet?"
The three Immortals were greatly alarmed, sensing an inexplicable power of laws surging within the surrounding void.
Chunks of lava crashed down, causing their protective aura to begin to waver precariously.
"So strong!"
"This puppet is probably comparable to a Heavenly Immortal!"
"The Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce actually has such a trump card?"
One Immortal took out a large azure flag and vigorously waved it. Strands of azure law descended, suddenly merging to form azure flood dragons.
To be able to advance one's comprehension of laws to the stage of Law Manifestation was already considered outstanding among ordinary Immortals.
But at this moment, facing the countless chunks of lava crashing down from the void, those azure flood dragons let out wails of sorrow, and were astonishingly annihilated by more than half in a single strike!
Beside them, one of the two other Immortals took out a long spear Immortal artifact, while the other had several talismans appear in his hand, preparing to provide support.
Xu Qing immediately let out a soft cry, and with a sweep of the azure longsword in his hand, an endless surge of sword qi transformed into a halo of light, drawing away the spear-wielding Immortal.
The next moment, a figure flickered in the void. The remaining Immortal's talismans lit up, and a layer of golden halo protected his entire body.
Countless flying blades appeared around the light barrier, poised for attack.
Crash!
A giant hand descended from the sky, swatting away the person and the countless flying blades in one fell swoop.
That Immortal retreated a hundred miles, looking at the figure before him, an expression of disbelief appearing in his eyes: "It's you. . ."
The newcomer had a broad face and large ears, eyebrows like silkworms, and earlobes like pearls. His appearance was stout and honest, none other than the Immortal Peng Bo, who had once attended the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce's succession ceremony and was quite famous in the North Star Immortal Domain!
"Peng Bo, are you also going to meddle in these troubled waters?"
The sole remaining Immortal heard a huge crash. His divine sense saw his companion, who had wielded the azure banner, being forced into a precarious situation by the myriad puppets. He couldn't help but feel despair and roared in anger.
Peng Bo, however, responded with a cold sneer: "Even if I meddle in these troubled waters, what can you do? As for you, if you provoke this old man, do you no longer want the foundation of Dragon Mountain?"
As an Immortal in the North Star Immortal Domain who was extremely difficult to provoke, the key was also his remarkable escape techniques. Even a True Immortal at perfection might not be able to apprehend him.
Upon hearing this, that Immortal immediately felt an extreme headache. . .
...
'The Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce truly has some hidden depths. This Immortal Peng Bo is actually a hidden guest elder. . . '
Fang Xi casually swung his sword.
The sword light manifested, merging with the power of earth-attribute laws, transforming into giant earthen-yellow mountains that crashed down with a rumble.
The Immortal surnamed Long roared furiously. Fine scales appeared on his arms, and streaks of red and blue intertwined threads glittered.
Amidst his roars, he swung his right fist, astonishingly shattering the giant earthen-yellow mountains in mid-air.
The cultivation of his divine strength and Body Cultivation technique was truly astonishing!
As the Immortal surnamed Long swung his fists, shattering mountains, his divine sense swept across the battlefield, and his heart couldn't help but tense.
Leaving aside his own fight for now, one of the Five Friends who was being held back by the Immortal surnamed Ying surprisingly seemed to be having the best of the battles.
Of the remaining three brothers, one was forced into a precarious state by the myriad puppets, and another was barely holding his own against Xu Qing.
And yet another was astonishingly forced into a disadvantage by Immortal Peng Bo!
"The Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce is truly formidable, to even be able to invite Peng Bo to assist in the fight!"
He roared, forming hand seals. A strange dragon head appeared behind him.
This dragon head had a ferocious demeanor, seemingly formed from the powers of different laws, yet perfectly integrated. Its dragon eyes were pure purple, carrying a hint of brutality.
"The hidden depths of our Pavilion, how could you possibly comprehend them. . ."
Fang Xi responded with a faint smile.
In truth, when he first heard Yu Xuan mention that they could invite Immortal Peng Bo to assist in the fight, he too was a little surprised.
It just goes to show that major powers that have been established for so many years all possess numerous trump cards.
Had it not been for this, he wouldn't have agreed to take the lead.
At this moment, looking at that dragon head, his eyes immediately lit up: "Is that the Integration Law? I've heard that very few Immortals walk this path, because merging with the Dao is difficult. But if one succeeds in merging with the Dao, it often brings considerable benefits for the future. . ."
Fang Xi also knew a thing or two about these benefits.
Above Dao Monarch, there is Dao Venerable!
A Dao Venerable can fully control a Great Dao, and a Great Dao is formed by the convergence of numerous Dao Seeds.
Therefore, the power of a Great Dao begins with the Integration Law as its entry point.
It was not at all surprising for methods with traces of such Integration Laws to exist in the True Immortal realm.
However, it was certainly extremely difficult to begin and extremely difficult to cultivate.
Fang Xi knew his own situation. He never coveted this, choosing instead to proceed honestly step by step.
After all, most Immortals aim too high and are impractical. If they cultivate Integration Laws, they might not even be able to condense a Dao Seed in the end!
'Furthermore, this secret art of the Dragon-human Clan is quite crude; their Integration Law is probably just a clumsy imitation. . . '
Fang Xi's heart stirred, and he held the Earth Virtue Sword horizontally.
Layers of mountains protected him, and the power of earth-attribute laws surged.
The earth's profoundness made it exceptionally skilled in defense.
If paired with the power of a spirit domain, it would be even more extraordinary.
"Reverse Scale Fury!"
The Immortal surnamed Long finished casting his spell and let out a cold snort.
The ferocious dragon head behind him flew out, abruptly letting out a long cry. A terrifying ripple swept past Fang Xi, carrying countless illusory dragon scales, causing the giant earthen-yellow mountains to disintegrate.
Fang Xi had long since witnessed many sound-wave type cultivation techniques.
But this kind of sound-wave attack, imbued with the law of destruction, was truly astonishing.
"Hmph. . ."
A hint of arrogance appeared on the Immortal surnamed Long's face.
He had once killed an Immortal with this secret art, which he had cultivated with great difficulty!
Being forced to use it now, it truly had the effect of delivering the decisive blow.
Fang Xi's expression, however, was a little strange.
He lightly pressed his right hand to his brow. Behind his head, a full-moon-like circle of Primordial Spirit light appeared. Within it was an earthen-yellow mountain, its surface interwoven with numerous Primal Chaos Immortal Charms, resembling a seamless celestial robe.
Streams of sound waves vibrated upon it, immediately being annihilated by the Primal Chaos Immortal Charms.
'Indeed. . . A Heavenly Immortal's Primordial Spirit possesses infinite wondrous uses. The divine sense attack attached to this secret art is simply ineffective. '
After the ferocious dragon head dissipated, the Immortal surnamed Long saw Fang Xi completely unharmed, and an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face: "Impossible!"
It was his first time seeing an Immortal who could remain completely unharmed under his secret art and divine ability.
"Brother Long, save me!"
At this moment, as the myriad puppets' punch landed, the Immortal wielding the giant azure flag began bleeding from his mouth and nose, frantically calling for help.
The Dragon Mountain Five Friends were astonishingly at an absolute disadvantage against the people of the Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce!
"Enough, we admit defeat, we'll leave now!"
The Immortal surnamed Long's face was grim as he shouted.
"Come as you please, leave as you please? What do you take our Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce for?"
Fang Xi lightly flicked his Earth Virtue Sword, yet answered with a cold voice.
