“He’s… dead?”

After successfully attacking, Mountain God Huo took back his seal, but he was dumbstruck.

Heaven Immortals lived long, experienced lives and possessed great powers, but a powerful Immortal had died just like that? Even a God like him could not truly believe it.

“Yes. His body and soul have been destroyed and can’t be resurrected!” Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

In fact, Bai Jianfei’s death was quite unjust.

The fact that the Mount Huo divine seal was refined with the Heaven Ritual Altar fragment and had a drastic increase in power was just one aspect.

Most importantly, Fang Yuan had also sneak attacked him. Fang Yuan returned his Skyfiend Yin Lightning blow back at full power, but it also contained pure Mental Demon elemental force. It spelled trouble for even a Heaven Immortal.

Bai Jianfei had suffered contamination, and his Essence Soul’s magical powers had fluctuated heavily.

At that time, he had faced Mountain God Huo’s full-powered blow and naturally did not have any chance of surviving.

” Whew …” Mountain God Huo stood rooted for a long time before giving a big sigh. “This matter is serious, and not even the both of us will be able to hide it. We have to report to the Heavenly Court!”

“Still, if Gods and Immortals get into conflict with each other, we won’t have a good outcome either…” A light flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes. “How about reporting to Excellency Mount Mang?”

Mountain God Huo was a little convinced, but promptly bitterly laughed. “Regardless if it’s the Heavenly Court or His Excellency, I’m afraid that neither will support us. Of course… they won’t hand us over based on the nature of the offense. After all, it was that Heaven Immortal who attacked my palace first, and there’s solid evidence! However, I’m afraid we’ll have to deal with the following actions from the Immortal Dao ourselves!”

Although this Mountain God has average strength, he’s still pretty calm and bright!

Seeing how the situation was proceeding, Fang Yuan nodded. “Indeed… As the saying goes ‘good fortune follows upon disaster, disaster lurks within good fortune’. If we can deal with this wave, there’ll naturally be a chance to turn the tables!”

” Sigh … Difficult! Very difficult!” Mountain God Huo let out a long sigh. “There are still two Heaven Immortals in the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. Moreover, they might even borrow forces from the nearby sects they’re on good terms with. If we’re besieged, we’ll fall!”

Moreover, it was only because he was at Mount Huo that he had such great ability.

If Fang Yuan did not return to Surging Waves River, he would also only be around an average Earth Immortal.

The Divine Dao was not good because of this point. Once someone left boundaries of their magic domain, their strength would drastically decrease and become easy to attack.

Even if these two Gods could unleash their full power, they might still not be opponents for the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect.

“The only thing we can do is to ask for help!”

Fang Yuan heaved a long sigh.

“It’s no use. Even if the Heavenly Court or His Excellency are willing to send help, a slow remedy doesn’t address the current emergency…” Mountain God Huo shook his head in rejection.

“Who says… we want to ask for aid from the Heavenly Court.” At this point, Fang Yuan gave a mysterious smile. “Our Three Mountains and Five Rivers are birds of a feather, and there aren’t just us two Gods!”

“That’s true!” Mountain God Hou was first startled, but soon supported. “If the Immortal Dao eliminates us, they would inevitably bring this might and completely wipe out the Divine Dao forces in the Three Mountains and Five Rivers!

“Since it’s like this, why not exaggerate it and make a big scene!”

At the moment, having thought through the matter, Mountain God Huo was brimming with confidence, even feeling heroic.

Spiritual Flying Sword Sect.

At the moment of Bai Jianfei’s death, there was a clear, cracking sound coming from the memorial hall.

Not long after, the room’s door creaked open and a deacon walked in with a solemn face. “There’s a change in an Intrinsic Sword Tablet? I wonder if something happened to a deacon or direct disciple.”

There was a row of neat, small wooden swords on an altar with names and labels below.

These were the Intrinsic Sword Tablets. All the key members of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect had to prepare one so that it was convenient for the masters to check on their situation at anytime. Based on the Intrinsic Sword Tablet, their situation and position could be predicted, allowing rescue to be more convenient.

“It’s not a disciple… nor a deacon either…”

The deacon in charge of guarding the Intrinsic Sword Tablets had a glare as sharp as an eagle as he looked from the bottom row. He swept his eyes over and went on to look at the middle rows. However, he could not find anything wrong. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead.

The Intrinsic Sword Tablets above the middle rows had a slight golden-jade color. At the very least, they represented Earth Immortals.

If anything happened to them, it would be a serious blow to the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and damage their vitality.

“Could something have happened to an Earth Immortal elder?”

The deacon moved his attention to the upper rows. The row of golden swords representing the Earth Immortal elders was flawless. As for the utmost top row, there were three jade swords representing the three Heaven Immortals of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and suppressing fate.

At the moment, one of the jade swords was in pieces and had fallen onto the rack.

Smack!

The deacon slumped onto the floor and started to sweat coldly. “Our sect has a secret method that applies if the Intrinsic Sword Tablet is covered in dust. It means that someone is sealed or trapped and needs the sect’s aid. Even if someone was decapitated, we could still save the Essence Soul, but this… both body and soul were destroyed! A Heaven Immortal… body and soul… both destroyed…”

Within the 72 immortal sects, Heaven Immortal was the highest level. If there was a Golden Immortal, they would be in the 33 large sects.

In the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect, there were three Heaven Immortal Patriarches. Heaven Immortals!

One of them passing away was almost the same as the sky collapsing.

This meant that the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect could only still barely support itself as a sect ranked at the front.

If it was like the Four Oceans Immortal Sects that only had one Heaven Immortal, the whole sect would fall.

“Not good… I need to report to the sect master and the two patriarches quickly!”

This deacon gave one last look and unexpectedly saw the carved words ‘Bai Jianfei’ at the original position of the jade sword.

“What happened?”

Not long later, the middle-aged sect master staggered into the memorial hall. He seemed to have lost control of himself.

“Reporting, Sect Master…”

The deacon could taste bitterness in his mouth. He almost could not say anything, only pointing toward the highest point.

When he saw it, the middle aged man instantly stood rooted, as if someone had splashed cold water on him. “How is this possible? How is this possible!”

A quiet sigh rang out. Suddenly, a sound broke out from the surrounding.

” Sigh … To think that Junior Brother Bai would meet with such unexpected mishap this time. Our Spiritual Flying Sword Sect has suffered the painful loss of an arm!”

The middle-aged sect master and deacon looked over and saw that the two patriarches carrying swords had unknowingly entered the hall. They had gray clothes and their backs were like spears.

“Martial Grand Uncle…”

Seeing these two Heaven Immortals of the sect, they immediately knelt.

“Forget it! Junior Brother Bai was chasing down River Earl Surging Waves when something happened. Looks like that River Earl has some secrets, so we need to investigate properly before attacking!”

One of the gray clothed Heaven Immortals continued, “It’s been many years… since our Immortal Dao has seen such a thing happen. This time, the Divine Dao must give me an explanation.”

“Right! The murderer must be caught and skinned alive, and his divine spirit will be used to light a lantern!” When the other Heaven Immortal in grey clothes spoke, he had a strong murderous air. “Kill! Anyone involved in this matter, no matter if it’s a human or a God, leave none alive. If they live, the masses won’t be convinced!”

“Of course!” agreed the Heaven Immortal who spoke earlier. “However, we need to contact a few other immortal sects as a precaution!”

As he spoke, his bright pupils landed on the middle-aged sect master. “Link Sword, such a serious matter happened while under your watch, so you don’t need to be the sect master anymore. Go to the Tough Sword Cliff to reflect for 50 years. As for the position… Bright Sword shall take over!”

“As you command!”

Link Sword did not dare resist and directly kowtowed.

However, he was grieving in his heart.

Because a Heaven Immortal fell, the forces in the sect would inevitably experience a complete reshuffling.

Of course, everything was no longer related to him.

“The Three Mountains and Five Rivers’ three mountains are Mount Huo, Mount Peace, and Mount Cloud Top; while the Five Rivers are Surging Waves River, Jing River, White Water River, Flowing Sand River, and Trident River!”

Currently, in Surging Waves River Palace.

Fang Yuan had changed into the Divine Dao imperial attire and was sitting still and upright.

Mountain God Huo had a similar, solemn face beside him. “Since River Earl has invited the other Gods with the reason of celebrating your new promotion, I think the other two Mountain and four River Gods will give you some face!”

Under Fang Yuan’s insistence, the location of the meeting between the eight Gods was in Surging Waves River.

Of course, the invitation card could not include that they had jointly killed a Heaven Immortal, needing everyone to come help think of a plan.

Fang Yuan had not organized a celebration banquet after he had ascended to his Deity Position, and it had thus become the best excuse.

At this moment, accompanied by the loud sound of a bell outside, Green Mountain came over to report, “Master… the Gods have arrived!”

“Alright!”

Together with Mountain God Huo, Fang Yuan rose and went out of the palace to welcome them.

Underwater, the billows surged and numerous undercurrents came slowly as a few waves of troops appeared.

Among them, black water was churning and transformed into a ferocious, tanned, and hefty man wearing armor. He looked like a fierce general charging the enemy lines.

Three other undercurrents combined, but it was a group with ceremonial weapons that appeared. Among them were three Goddesses sitting on sedan chairs. They were graceful, and their brown eyes were indistinctly similar. They were unexpectedly siblings.

Mountain God Huo was afraid that Fang Yuan did not know much about the inside information. Considering he was currently in the same boat as Fang Yuan, he quietly introduced them, “The tanned one is River Earl Jing and the three siblings are River Goddesses White Water, Flowing Sand, and Trident. Rumor has it that these three females used to study under the same teacher, and each separately obtained their Deity Position. It’s a much talked about story…”

However, he did not know that Fang Yuan’s understanding of these four was beyond his imagination.

After all, Lord Bright Jade had helped them set up their foundations back then.

Although the Mountain Gods had Excellency Mount Mang and it was inconvenient to meddle with them, the four River Gods had long secretly been subdued by him.

These three sisters could only deify because of the help Lord Bright Jade had given in secret.

“This is River Earl Surging Waves?”

The three goddesses came down from their sedans and sincerely saluted.

Among the five rivers, Surging Waves River was the one closest to the main source, had the most plentiful water, and was faintly considered the leader. Also because of this, the Deity Position was difficult to form.

“Everyone, please come inside!”

Fang Yuan had a smile on his face. Suddenly, his forehead creased.

The water darkened, as if there were two heavy mountains oppressing the river bottom.

Suddenly, the two large mountain illusions transformed into two Mountain Gods. Their waists were surrounded by tiger skin, making them appear wild. They were unfriendly as they directly questioned, “Mountain God Huo, you and River Earl Surging Waves did such a great thing, and you’re still thinking of dragging us in?”

Oh? The news spread this fast?

Fang Yuan’s heart slightly stirred, but he was not shocked at all. “The invitation this time is to discuss this matter with everyone. Please, come in!”
