Chapter 157 Breaking Through the Door
Lu Ming's body was surrounded by a restrained spiritual light, yet his immense blood and energy were undeniable. He showed no signs of having been burned to death by true fire.
Not only did he not die, but his aura surged, and his cultivation level far surpassed that when he was kidnapped!
The people in the Taoist temple were overjoyed.
"Junior Brother Lu!"
"He's still alive! He's really still alive!"
Chenghao was so excited that he was trembling all over. He didn't have time to think and immediately activated the True Martial Sect's teleportation technique.
A flash of divine light enveloped him, and he vanished instantly, teleporting directly to Lu Ming's side before reappearing to bring him back to his own camp.
Chenghao moved with lightning speed, fearing that the people from Anxianglou would resort to underhanded tactics again.
On one side of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, the expressions of the crowd varied.
There was a sense of quiet relief, and also disbelief.
It's simply unbelievable that Lu Ming, with his cultivation level, could still break out of the building alive after being tempered by the Nine Yang True Fire for several days!
The poster, Yin Qianshang, breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest.
At least Lu Ming is alive, so he no longer has to face the Dao Academy's relentless pursuit of him.
Just then, a weak yet mournful wail came from inside the Dark Fragrance Pavilion.
Dan Chenzi, his breathing disordered and his face pale, staggered out, pointing at Lu Ming, trembling with rage:
"Master! You must avenge me! This brat... not only was he not refined, but he also looted all the rare and precious herbs and elixirs that the Pill Pavilion had treasured for a thousand years, even absorbing all the spiritual energy from the Purple Gold Pill Furnace!"
These words caused an uproar among the people of Anxiang Tower.
Yin Qianshang's eyes twitched, a pang of heartache shooting through him, but he also knew that getting those treasures back was a pipe dream.
He suppressed his anger, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xia Linxian, and had already yielded:
"Chief Xia, the misunderstanding is cleared up. Lu Ming is safe and sound. Consider the losses suffered by Dan Pavilion as compensation from my Anxiang Pavilion. Gentleman Qianhuan, return Lu Ming's storage bag to him!"
"Let's call it a day and both sides withdraw, shall we?"
He thought that this concession was already the limit, and the Taoist temple should know when to stop.
Xia Linxian simply stood in the void, his eyes indifferent and domineering, showing no intention of retreating.
"give up?"
Xia Linxian's domineering voice echoed throughout the entire sea of clouds.
"The Dark Fragrance Pavilion kidnapped and murdered my Daoist disciples, setting up a killing formation to try and kill us. If we let them go easily, won't all the forces in the Central Continent think that my Daoist Academy is easy to bully?"
"Today, either Dark Fragrance Pavilion will be completely destroyed, leaving no one alive."
"Or you can submit and serve my Dao Academy and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty!"
Xia Linxian spoke each word with unparalleled domineering force, leaving no room for negotiation.
What he wanted was not compensation, but to make an example of them and let the whole Central Continent see what would happen to the disciples of the Dongdao Academy!
Yin Qianshang's expression changed drastically, and he instantly became furious and embarrassed.
He had already made concessions, but Xia Linxian remained aggressive, determined to kill him completely!
"Xia Linxian! Don't go too far! The Dao Academy prides itself on being a prestigious and righteous sect. We have already made such concessions, yet you act so domineeringly!"
"If you really force me to fight to the death, your Daoist academy will pay a heavy price!"
"The Dao Academy would never act so domineeringly. I am the one who is domineering! You bully my fellow disciples, so what are you going to do about it?" Xia Linxian said disdainfully, completely unconcerned about Anxiang Tower's so-called fight to the death.
"What a way to do things! Let me show you the true power of the Heavenly Treasure!" Yin Qianshang said angrily, his anger burning.
It's clear they're prepared for a fight to the death.
Yin Qianshang merged completely with the Dark Shadow Tower once again, causing the nine-story pavilion to surge with malevolent energy, and bursts of blood-red light appeared.
As the Shadow Seven Kill Formation was pushed to its limit, an even more terrifying pressure that suppressed heaven and earth slowly descended!
Yin Qianshang has already used his essence blood and secret techniques, sparing no expense to activate the Dark Fragrance Pavilion!
But he never knew that Xia Linxian's twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls were not ordinary spiritual treasures at all!
It was forged from a broken immortal artifact unearthed from the Immortal Relic Land, and its grade far surpasses that of the Heavenly Treasure of Dark Fragrance Pavilion!
Xia Linxian took out a piece of bright white immortal crystal, a hint of heartache flashing across her face, but she couldn't care less about anything else.
Xia Linxian inserted a piece of immortal crystal into the Zhenhai Pearl, releasing part of the pearl's restrictions.
In an instant, the Zhenhai Pearl's mysterious light surged, and the power of the Zhou Tian Stars crashed down, completely suppressing all the power of the Anxiang Tower.
With the cannon muzzles imprisoned and the killing array's spiritual light crushed, the combined power of Yin Qianshang and Anxianglou was forced to retreat steadily under the immense pressure of the Zhenhai Pearl, unable to gain the slightest advantage.
Yin Qianshang was secretly shocked. Xia Linxian's magic weapon had never been famous in the Nine Provinces, so why was its power even greater than that of the Heavenly Treasure of Anxianglou? Was this the foundation of the Dao Academy?
As Xia Linxian raised his hand, the power of lightning surged once more, and the Five Thunderclap Heaven-Shaking Technique condensed again.
With the power of the Zhenhai Pearl empowering them, each strike caused the Dao patterns of the Anxiang Pavilion to dim, and the disciples were severely injured. Those with lower cultivation levels were killed instantly.
Although Anxiang Tower can protect the souls of its disciples from destruction, this protection is limited to disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and above!
The others also launched their attacks, continuously slashing at Anxiang Tower and the disciples who had not yet been protected.
Yin Qianshang watched helplessly as his trusted subordinates Xuan Ying and You Sha were seriously injured one after another, and the disciples inside the building suffered heavy casualties.
As the spiritual light emanating from Anxiang Tower faded, the last trace of resentment in Yin Qianshang's heart turned into despair.
He knew he was completely suppressed; the Dao Academy and the Zhenwu Sect were now unilaterally crushing him.
He didn't even have the right to fight to the death; in the face of the power of the Sea-Shaking Pearl, all resistance was futile.
The people who drove him to the brink of despair were only the young disciples of the Dao Academy and the Zhenwu Sect, totaling a mere eleven!
He couldn't imagine the power of the Taoist academy; even if he escaped today, he would not escape being purged in the future.
Moreover, as the leader of the assassin organization, his intelligence system was extremely advanced, and he had long ago determined that the Dao Academy would definitely launch a large-scale invasion of Zhongzhou.
In the end, Yin Qianshang gave up resisting, revealing himself from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, his voice dejected:
"I, Yin Qianshang, am willing to lead the remaining disciples of Anxiang Tower to submit to the Dao Academy and pledge allegiance to the Dayan Immortal Dynasty, only asking to preserve the thousand-year-old lineage of my Anxiang Tower!"
Xia Linxian watched coldly for a moment, and seeing that he had no further ability to retaliate or plot against her, she slowly nodded.
"allow."
He raised his hand and waved it, his voice authoritative:
"From this day forward, Anxiang Tower will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Dao Academy and will be subject to the orders of the Dayan Immortal Dynasty."
"You must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, to serve the Dao Academy and the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty faithfully for a hundred years. If you break this oath, your Dao heart will be shattered and your soul will be forever condemned!"
Upon hearing that he only needed to serve for a hundred years, Yin Qianshang felt slightly relieved and immediately agreed, making a vow to Heaven.
"Serve the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty well, and the Dynasty will not treat you unfairly! The Dark Fragrance Pavilion will now directly obey my orders."
"When the Celestial Dynasty arrives, it will register you. At that time, you will also benefit from the Celestial Dynasty's fortune, and your cultivation will advance even further!"
Yin Qianshang was shocked. "Is the Celestial Dynasty's fortune bestowed upon them? Is this why the disciples of the Dao Academy are so terrifyingly powerful and always manage to escape danger?"
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Yin Qianshang respectfully replied, "I will obey Chief Xia's orders."
"This is the Daoist Academy's communication jade token, and this is the Heavenly Dao Contract. Only by signing the contract can I truly trust you."
"If you have any disloyal intentions, even if you escape to the ends of the earth through this contract, I will still kill you! This contract is for a hundred years. After a hundred years, you will be free!" Xia Linxian threw a jade token and a contract to Yin Qianshang.
Looking at the contract, Yin Qianshang felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and thought to himself, "What kind of righteous sect is this? Their methods are just as ruthless as those of the demonic path!"
However, circumstances forced him to sign the contract.
