Chapter 1023: Reunion, Confidence Unshaken

Editor: Henyee Translations

After the confrontation, the area suddenly fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere gradually brewed in the quiet.

“Surely there has been some misunderstanding here. Why don’t we just let this go and you can take your disciples and leave? It would be better for everyone,” eventually spoke Daolord Phantom Ghost, breaking the silence.

On the surface, he seemed to be mediating to avoid conflict, but in reality, he clearly sided with Daolord Skeleton, trying to make Qin Shenwu and the others silently accept their loss.

“Hmph! Nice words, a misunderstanding, is it? All those despicable acts by that old bag of bones, are they all just misunderstandings?

You two are in cahoots and are nothing but a pair of old dogs!” Qin Shenwu furiously burst out, unwilling to conceal his disdain any longer.

Behind him, the Five Elements Daolord rule burst forth with a brilliant spectrum of divine lights, shooting straight into the sky.

Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost, referred to as old dogs, now had faces that turned extremely ugly, looking like vengeful spirits ready to choose someone to devour at any moment.

The Dao rules they manifested began to twist madly, and the force of their malevolent power thickened, turning half of the world into a ghostly domain.

Three forces clashed violently in the void, shattering the vacuum and causing chaos to emerge. The power of their Dao rules whipped up fierce storms, creating terrifying fluctuations that spread for thousands of miles.

The tension was palpable, ready to explode at a moment’s thought.

Although Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost had the advantage in numbers, they were wary of Qin Shenwu’s strength.

After all, both were extremely old and had only recently emerged from a longer seclusion, certainly weaker than a freshly ascended Mahayana Daolord.

Furthermore, Qin Shenwu was a seasoned warrior with ill.u.s.trious battle honors, well-known even to them.

Whether it was Daolord Southbright or Daolords from other realms or abyssal demons, none had managed to best Qin Shenwu.

To think that the two of them could confidently take him down was simply impossible.

Moreover, the cooperation between Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost was only superficial.

In a real fight, it was certain that each would prefer the other to suffer, hoping to profit from it themselves.

However, at this moment of deadlock.

Suddenly, two immensely powerful auras flew towards them from the distant sky.

The appearance of two streams of five-colored light captured everyone’s attention, especially Qin Shenwu and Xie Xiangyao, who, upon sensing their energy, immediately showed expressions of joy.

“s.h.i.+fu! Sister Xie, Brother Zhao!”

The energies, drawing closer swiftly, revealed themselves to be Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Chengxuan, Ruyan, haha, it’s so good to see you’re safe.”

“Brother Jiang, Sister Shen!”

Seeing his most valued disciples safe and sound, Qin Shenwu burst into hearty laughter.

The reunion brought joy to everyone, as Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan also exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, too, were thrilled to see Qin Shenwu and the others, especially in such a dangerous place as the immortal cave abode, where all their sect members had managed to reunite safely. It was a truly joyous event.

However, this was not the time for pleasantries.

Compared to the joy of Qin Shenwu and others, the arrival of these two figures, recognized as Qin Shenwu’s disciples, significantly darkened the expressions of Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost.

The presence of these two powerful new arrivals undoubtedly s.h.i.+fted the balance of power on the battlefield once again.

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan appeared, the murderous intent in the eyes of Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost erupted fiercely.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan bore a distinct aura that belonged to the disciples of the Ghost hall and the Sacred Skeleton Sect.

This only confirmed one thing: Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were directly responsible for the death of all their disciples!

Now, not just Daolord Skeleton but also Daolord Phantom Ghost were driven by a terrifying intent to kill.

After all, the soul lamps of his disciples in the Ghostly Hall had also been extinguished previously.

Unaware of the consequences of their own deeds being discovered, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were still clueless about the gravity of their situation.

At this moment, everyone from the Haoran Sect was basking in a peaceful reunion.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan knew that with Qin Shenwu and themselves present, their opponents would not dare to make a move lightly.

Upon their arrival and recognizing the manifested rules of their enemies, they already knew it was Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost.

They knew that the ones they had previously killed must be the disciples of these two Daolords.

Now, with their mastery of life and death rules, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood unafraid, confident that should Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost dare to attack, it would surely lead to their utter defeat.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, having comprehended the rules of life and death, now regarded Mahayana Daolords as mere common foes.

“Chengxuan, Ruyan, it seems you have gained quite a bit from this adventure in the immortal cave abode,” Qin Shenwu remarked with a smile, his voice calm.

Recalling the terrifying aura that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had emitted earlier, Qin Shenwu realized the immense opportunity his disciples must have encountered in the cave.

This realization bolstered his confidence even more against Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost.

“The two of us have indeed made some gains, hehe,” Jiang Chengxuan responded with a chuckle.

“Senior Sister Xie, Senior Brother Zhao, it’s great to see you safe as well. Did you find any fortune in the cave?” Jiang Chengxuan then turned to address Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan.

“We did find something, but our gains are modest compared to what you and Junior Sister Shen have achieved. It’s almost like we came for nothing,” Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan replied with a laugh.

They too had faced many dangers during their time in the cave, but they had come through them all, with some improvements in their own realms.

However, their progress paled in comparison to the leaps made by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

“Who are you? Are you the ones who killed the disciples of my Sacred Skeleton Sect?”
