Chapter 188: Chapter 152: Mysterious Elixir Death Tribulations

Translator: 549690339

Even cultivators who were in closed-door cultivation could be awakened.

Nine bells rang, Xuandan Tribulation.

Han Yi was startled, hurriedly putting everything in the courtyard into his storage bag, and then walked forward.

The Green Reed Sword on his back ‘whooshed’ into the air as he leaped forward and stepped onto the sword, soaring into the sky.

Although this was his first time soaring, thanks to his powerful Divine Soul, he was as steady as usual.

On Azure Dragon Peak.

Spirit Light flickered, and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators soared into the sky, heading towards the Azure Dragon Palace.

Han Yi did the same.

Upon entering the Azure Dragon Palace, everyone nodded in greeting to Han Yi. Although he didn’t know many elders, he returned the greetings one by one.

Among them, Bai Wanqing was present.

Bai Wanqing looked at Han Yi with a serious expression, but revealed a trace of a smile and at the same time a trace of curiosity.

Speaking of which.

She had not been paying attention to Han Yi in these years, and didn’t expect that he had already succeeded in Foundation Establishment half a month ago, something she had never imagined.

After greeting Bai Wanqing for the last time, Han Yi stood next to Gu Yu.

“Elder Gu, what exactly happened?” Han Yi asked in a low voice.

Gu Yu shook his head: “I don’t know, but it probably has something to do with the Heavenly Soul Sect and Blood God Sect attacking us.”

“Also, Han Yi, since you have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you don’t have to call me Uncle Master anymore, just call me Senior Brother.”

Han Yi nodded and retreated to one side without speaking further. However, he surveyed the people present, recognizing some of the elders, while others were completely strangers.

As for the many Foundation Establishment elders, they were not surprised by Han Yi’s appearance.

Half a month ago, Yuan Shun had walked out of Xuandan Peak with severe injuries and personally guarded Han Yi in Zhu Rong Palace. Furthermore, the newly promoted Supreme Elder Huo Ming had sat in the void above Zhu Rong Peak to help Han Yi advance, which caused quite a stir.

Standing among the crowd, Han Yi felt uneasy. The gaze of the other elders made him feel something was wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint it. He couldn’t ask more questions at this time, so he had to bear with it.

A moment later.

The Supreme Elder presiding over Azure Dragon Peak, Fu Xuanxu, appeared. He swept his gaze over the crowd, pausing momentarily on Han Yi without revealing any changes in his expression, then withdrew his gaze.

“Nine bells rang, Xuandan Tribulation.”

“You should all know what this means.”

“So, without further ado, this raid aims to catch them off guard and pave a path to survival for Xuandan Tribulation.”

“Here, only Han Yi has just broken through the Foundation Establishment stage for a short time, Gu Yu, you shall take him with you on this journey.”

Both Gu Yu and Han Yi nodded in agreement.

He had already reached the Foundation Establishment, and with the nine bells ringing, it meant that Xuandan Sect was now facing a life and death tribulation. Continuing closed-door cultivation was no longer an option.

At this moment, his only path was to go down the mountain.

Still, Han Yi had made up his mind that if the Xuandan Sect’s gate was truly breached after he went down the mountain, he would choose to leave instead of dying for the sect.

As for whether he would stay in Qianzhou or go far away to Daqin, he had not yet made his choice.

After the tactical arrangements were made, Han Yi was also informed of how dire the current situation was for the sect.

It was not an exaggeration to say that at this moment, the Xuandan Sect was facing a life and death crisis, because outside the Xuandan Mountain Range, the five Immortal Cities that had always been reserved territories for Xuandan Sect had all lost contact with the sect. This meant that the enemies were already at the gates.

In order to break the stalemate, the high-ranking elders of Xuandan Sect decided to take the initiative and take a gamble to pave a path to survival.

Gu Yu and Han Yi were assigned to one of the five Immortal Cities, Hongluan City. Bai Wanqing was assigned to another Immortal City.

Hongluan City was located at the easternmost part of the five Immortal Cities and, from a geographical standpoint, was considered a relatively safe city.

Within the span of less than a cup of tea, Han Yi followed Gu Yu, flying out from the Azure Dragon Palace and heading towards the mountain exterior, where they joined up with the other Inner Peak elders in midair, forming a team of nine.

Leading this team of nine elders was the newly promoted Supreme Elder, Huo Ming, headed for Hongluan City.

Seeing Han Yi, Huo Ming paused for a moment, then withdrew his gaze. Following that, he waved his hand, releasing an Immortal Boat. Everyone flew onto the Immortal Boat, which accelerated from a standstill to full speed in just a snap of the fingers.

A streak of light flashed past and disappeared in an instant.

Han Yi stood on the Immortal Boat and looked into the distance behind him.

Xuandan Peak was still shrouded in fog, as always.

From the nine Inner Peaks, figures soared into the sky, turning into streaks of light and converging high above. Other Immortal Boats flashed by, moving quickly.

Disciples of the Inner Peaks below were more scattered than before, and more than a hundred disciples from the Outer Peaks also seemed more at a loss than before.

After all, the nine bells had rung throughout the Xuandan Sect, and everyone had heard them. No matter who they were, they knew that the Xuandan Sect was in danger at this moment, and panic was inevitable.

Han Yi turned around and no longer looked behind him, focusing on the road ahead.

To be honest, at this moment, his feelings were complicated. He had a sense of attachment and belonging to the Xuandan Sect after having spent thirty years there. It was unbearable for him to stand by and watch the sect perish.

However, protecting the Xuandan Sect had exceeded his capabilities.

Truth be told, plans couldn’t always keep up with changes, and Han Yi couldn’t help but feel lost. Now, he could only take one step at a time.

Hongluan City was a medium-sized Immortal City situated to the east of Nanyang County’s headquarters, southeast of the Xuandan Sect’s mountain gate.

In the sky, a flash of light appeared, and spiritual energy trembled. An Immortal Boat went from extreme motion to extreme stillness in just a single breath.

As the Immortal Boat came to a halt, Huo Ming put away the boat and flew away.

“Remember, our target this time is a cultivator’s marketplace west of Hongluan City. This market was built half a month ago, and our sect secretly discovered that the forces behind it are the Blood God Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect.”

“Therefore, with a thunderous strike, directly destroy the market. As for the cultivators there, no matter who they are, just annihilate them.”

Huo Ming’s divine sense swept across the sect, and Han Yi understood his intentions. Everyone’s hearts were filled with determination, and they responded in kind with their divine sense.

After about an hour.

A market came into view, though in reality, it was just over a dozen houses built at the foot of a mountain. If they didn’t know the specifics, people would have thought it was just a village.

The market was about a kilometer away.

Huo Ming came to a stop, and a magical treasure appeared in his hand. It was a three-legged Golden Cauldron. A fierce light flashed in Huo Ming’s eyes as he tossed the cauldron into the air, and it expanded to a hundred-meter-tall giant cauldron.

Huo Ming pinched his fingers and muttered a few words. In just a short moment, the giant cauldron tilted, and a stream of molten lava-like red liquid poured out from it. The liquid seemed to be flowing with liquid flame, causing the hearts of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to skip a beat.

Heat, a terrifying heat, radiated from the stream.

“This is Elder Huo Ming’s magical treasure, the Abyss Fire Fining Pot. The flowing substance is called Abyssal Fire, which he refined after entering a mysterious place in the Eastern Sea.”

“Abyssal Fire is terrifying. Everything it touches dies, and even the Divine Soul would be reduced to ashes.”

“More than three months ago, Elder Huo Ming used Abyssal Fire to kill the third vice-sub-master of the Heavenly Soul Sect, making a name for himself.” Gu Yu, who was standing next to Han Yi, knew that Han Yi had just left seclusion and transmitted his knowledge to Han Yi through divine sense, letting him understand the situation in an instant.

At this moment, the Abyssal Fire stream had already touched an invisible formation. The moment it made contact, the formation was burnt open and couldn’t withstand a single breath before being overwhelmed. The surging Abyssal Fire looked like a red galaxy pouring down from the sky, a magnificent and vast sight to behold.

However, the danger it posed made Han Yi’s eyelids twitch.

When the Abyssal Fire made contact with the formation, the cultivators hidden in the market sensed it, and several figures shouted in shock and anger.

“Who dares to do this?”

“What the hell is that?”

“Damn it, it’s the people from the Xuandan Sect. We’ve been discovered.”

“Kill them!”

In an instant, more than a dozen figures soared into the sky, one of which had even stronger energy fluctuations than Huo Ming – a second-level Golden Core Stage cultivator.

On the ground, more than a hundred Qi-refining disciples scattered and ran in all directions.

However, the Abyssal Fire had already arrived, sweeping through and covering everything in its path..
