187. Great Chang Has No Immortals

"No, no one can destroy our two great sects. Even a Martial Saint can't..."

Several Qi cultivators were utterly terrified.

Destroy the sect! Exterminate the lineage!

These were things they would not even think about under normal circumstances. But now, Lin Fei, this Martial Saint, said he wanted to destroy their sect. The words of a Martial Saint especially one who could slash a Foundation Establishment True Person with his saber were indeed quite intimidating.

For a moment, all these Qi cultivators became terrified. Lin Fei was indifferent. Regardless of whether he could destroy the two sects or not, he would not let these people go.

Thus, Lin Fei extended his hand. Then, he flicked his finger.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".

Next, strands of saber essence flew out. In an instant, they struck these Qi cultivators.

"Splash".

For a moment, the ground was covered in blood. Several Qi cultivators from the Water Moon Sect and Fairy Crane Sect were all killed by Lin Fei.

"Next up, Fairy Crane Sect!"

Lin Fei's gaze looked at the distant void. Fairy Crane Sect and Water Moon Sect. The royal family naturally had the locations of the two sects. The locations of all the sects in the world were all under the control of the royal family. When leaving Chang City, Lin Fei had already received the map. He knew the specific locations of the two sects.

Soon, the South Mountain Marquis's army entered Qinglong Prefecture. They completely controlled Qinglong Prefecture. Some of the high-ranking members and leaders of the rebels were all controlled by the suppressive forces.

The remaining regions didn't even need to bother. Because there weren't many rebels in those places. They were all a group of disorganized mobs. Without the Qi cultivators, even if only ten thousand men remained in the suppressive forces, they could easily crush them.

"Marquis of South Mountain, I'll leave this place to you. I still have to go and destroy the sects of the Water Moon Sect and Fairy Crane Sect."

After finishing his words, Lin Fei took a step out. In a few leaps and bounds, he disappeared from sight. However, when the Marquis of South Mountain heard Lin Fei's voice, he seemed not to have come back to his senses. What had he just heard? Lin Fei was going to destroy the sects of the Water Moon Sect and Fairy Crane Sect?

How could that be possible? Those were Immortal Sects! Lofty Immortal Sects!

In the realm of Great Chang, there existed numerous secluded immortal sects. They had persisted for over a millennium, some even for several millennia, witnesses to the cyclic rise and fall of dynasties. Even the Great Chang Founding Emperor was powerless against them. Perhaps only those who could decimate Foundation Establishment True Persons could do that!

In fact, such feats had occurred. Once, the Great Chang Founding Emperor had slain many a Foundation Establishment True Person. The original royal supreme elder, when suppressing the world, had likewise slain many Foundation Establishment True Persons. Yet, to slay a Foundation Establishment True Person was an entirely different concept from eradicating the immortal sect's lineage.

"Great Chang is on the brink of significant upheaval…" the Marquis murmured in a low voice.

...

Seeking Immortal Town.

Initially, this place harbored no settlement. However, centuries prior, rumors spread of an immortal residing here. Thus, gradually, many were drawn here in an attempt to find the immortal or to try their luck, hoping to gain an immortal's favor. So, this place gradually buzzed with a lot more activity. Eventually, a town formed and named Seeking Immortal Town!

At this moment, two young men arrived in Seeking Immortal Town.

"Here we are, Seeking Immortal Town. But all our inquiries have only yielded that to find an immortal, we must venture into the mountains beyond the town. Those immortals sometimes appear in the mountains. If we're lucky, they might accept us as disciples."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go! No matter what, we must find an immortal and become immortal disciples!"

These two young men traversed a thousand miles to reach Seeking Immortal Town in pursuit of an immortal. Or rather, hoping for an immortal's favor. They had once seen an immortal in their hometown. A figure of elegance and charm, idly wandering among the mortals. A sight that kindled their envy.

Of course, what was most critical was that their closest relatives were of great age. They hoped to find some immortal elixir for their loved ones. Perhaps it might extend their years.

The two young men, resolved and undeterred, immediately left Seeking Immortal Town for the mountains. The mountains were fraught with wolves and leopards, a realm of great peril, most would dare not venture within. But for the young men seeking the immortal, they paid no heed to the danger.

They wandered in the mountains for several hours and even encountered danger en route. If they had not been armed with beast-repelling powder, they would have likely perished within this woodland. Let alone the immortal, they didn't even glimpse a shadow of one.

"Alas, it seems we are not destined for the immortal's favor. Immortals place great importance on this destiny. Without this destiny, even if an immortal were before us, we would not see. Perhaps this mountain is indeed haunted by immortals. But the immortals refuse to see us. Even if we waited ten days, a month, or even a year, we would likely never find an immortal."

The two young men felt a bitter disappointment. They had been seeking immortals for such a long time, And naturally knew that immortals valued "destiny."

With destiny, they could encounter immortals wherever they went. Without destiny, even if an immortal were before them, they would not recognize it.

Just as their spirits were dampened and they were preparing to leave, suddenly, one of the young men widened his eyes abruptly, looking into the far-off void.

"Ah... An immortal! It's really immortal! Have we finally encountered an immortal?"

The two young men watched a silhouette materialize in the void. One step at a time, it descended from the void, landing at the foot of the nearby mountain. For a moment, the two young men were overcome with excitement.

"Hurry, let's go ask the immortal to take us as disciples!"

The two young men decisively, immediately sprinted towards the "immortal's" silhouette in the distance. Soon, they saw the "immortal" standing at the foot of the mountain, seemingly inspecting the grand mountain.

The two young men gathered their courage and immediately approached. With a thud, the two young men fell to their knees, and reverently they said, "Oh, esteemed immortal, please accept our obeisance! We were able to see you, which surely signifies our destined bond. We hope for your mercy to accept us as disciples!"

Without further ado, the two young men prostrated themselves. However, just as they were about to bow, They felt a sudden tightening around them and found they could not move at all, let alone bow their heads.

"No need for prostration. Moreover, I am not immortal."

Lin Fei spoke indifferently. The two young men were just ordinary people. He had noticed them long ago. He just didn't expect that these two young men would mistake him for an immortal.

"Ah? Not an immortal?"

The two young men had seen Lin Fei descend from the sky. Such a divine technique, even if he was not immortal, he must not be far from it. Thinking this, the two young men immediately said, "Even if you are not immortal, you must be nearly one. We wish to become your disciples!"

Lin Fei turned to look at the two young men.

"I am a martial artist, not an immortal. Furthermore, there are no immortals here," Lin Fei spoke indifferently.

"A martial artist?"

The two young men were taken aback. They naturally knew of martial artists, those strong and formidable wanderers. But, the gap with the "immortal" before them was too vast. How could he be a martial artist?

"We came from the Seeking Immortal Town. The people there all said that this place is frequently visited by immortals."

"Indeed, for hundreds of years, it's been said that immortals haunt this place. How can there be no immortals?"

The two young men were somewhat disbelieving of Lin Fei's words.

"This is the mountain of the Fairy Crane Sect. It's merely the ordinary disciples of the Fairy Crane Sect that appear here. Their occasional appearances have led many people to mistakenly believe that there are immortals here. Those disciples of the Fairy Crane Sect are just Qi Condensation cultivators. They are like you, only with a lifespan of a hundred or so years. How dare these mere Qi Condensation cultivators dare to call themselves immortals?"

"Ah? Qi Condensation cultivators..."

The two young men were having their eyes opened today. They hadn't expected that this "martial artist" would say that there were no immortals here at all. Only Qi Condensation cultivators!

"Alright, you should leave. There will be a great battle today. I intend to destroy the mountain gate of the Fairy Crane Sect to avoid involving you."

With a wave of Lin Fei's hand, A strand of his saber essence directly took the two young men several hundred meters away. The two young men were astounded. Such a technique was no different from that of an immortal. As to whether he was immortal or not, what difference would it make?

"May we ask, senior, to which martial arts sect do you belong?"

"We also want to become powerful martial artists like you!"

The two young men shouted.

"If you wish to practice martial arts, go to the Nine Profound Sect! Remember, Great Chang has no immortals. Do these mere sects even deserve to be called immortals? Today, I shall trample the Fairy Crane Sect to the ground!"

Lin Fei's words echoed in the ears of the two young men. The next moment, they saw Lin Fei, step by step, walking in mid-air, as though treading on the void!

"Fairy Crane Sect, your crimes of rebelling and causing the lives of innocents to suffer are unforgivable! Today, I will destroy the Fairy Crane Sect as a warning to others!"

Lin Fei's voice, resounding and mighty, echoed through the void.

188. Martial Saint Lin Fei Destroys Two Major Immortal Sects in a Single Day! The World is Shocked!

"Fairy Crane Sect? This martial artist wants to destroy the Fairy Crane Sect? But where is the Fairy Crane Sect?"

Both of the young men had remembered the Nine Profound Sect. Weren't they seeking the Immortals in order to gain powerful strength, like that of the Immortals? However, when Lin Fei said he would trample the Fairy Crane Sect, the two young men didn't want to leave.

How could they miss such an exciting battle? Although they were nearly several hundred meters away from Lin Fei, they were quite clever and felt that it was still unsafe. So they retreated further and further until they were a considerable distance away. Only then did they hide behind a big tree to watch.

"Is there really a Fairy Crane Sect?"

The two young men were somewhat puzzled. They looked at the desolate peak in the distance. Where is the Fairy Crane Sect?

Lin Fei stood in the void. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the void in front of him. Without any response. His words fell, and there was no response from the Fairy Crane Sect.

The Fairy Crane Sect, after all, was a sect of Immortal Dao. There must be a mountain-protecting formation that ordinary people simply could not find it.

Even innate martial artists, martial arts Grand Masters, if the Fairy Crane Sect didn't open the mountain gate, martial arts Grand Masters would be just as unable to find it.

However, Martial Saints are different!

In Lin Fei's eyes, everything about the Fairy Crane Sect was clear at a glance. Since the Fairy Crane Sect did not come out, then Lin Fei didn't bother waiting.

"Buzz."

The next moment, Lin Fei exerted his saber momentum. Suddenly, a layer of semi-transparent light enveloped the void in front of him. The originally empty void, under the cover of the semi-transparent light, actually sent out ripples, just like the ripples of water. Then, the semi-transparent light rapidly extended. Layer upon layer of ripples, constantly stirring. Then, buildings appeared in the void. Even the towering mountain peak disappeared.

Instead, countless mountain peaks appeared. Various pavilions and towers, even the sound of cranes could be heard. And in the void, there were also countless Daoists standing in the air.

"Immortals?"

The eyes of the two young boys nearly bulged out. Such a heavenly landscape, if not immortals, then what else could it be?

However, the "immortals" that the two young men saw at this moment had faces full of terror. They looked at Lin Fei from a distance, and spoke loudly, "We were unaware of the arrival of the Martial Saint, and the Fairy Crane Sect has failed to greet you properly! But isn't the Martial Saint a bit too aggressive? If the Martial Saint is dissatisfied with our Fairy Crane Sect supporting the rebels, we can just withdraw. Moreover, we can promise not to support the rebels in the future, okay? Even, the Fairy Crane Sect can follow the example of He Mountain Dao, close the mountain for a hundred years, and ignore worldly affairs. Would the Martial Saint be satisfied?"

The sect master of the Fairy Crane Sect, a top-tier Qi Condensation cultivator at the eleventh level, stated the decision of the Fairy Crane Sect. In fact, this was also a condition. Even in the old times when the royal supreme elder was in power, they said the same to him. And of course, they acted accordingly. Being able to proactively concede to Lin Fei even actively closing the mountain gate was already the greatest concession that the Fairy Crane Sect could make.

Lin Fei's gaze was calm. He looked down from a high position, looking down at the group of Qi cultivators from the Fairy Crane Sect below. Even if they conceded, in their eyes, there seemed to be no trace of fear.

Perhaps, they were still thinking after several hundred years, the closure of the mountain would end. Or, the Fairy Crane Sect would give birth to a Foundation Establishment True Person and they could re-enter the world again.

Those thousand-year-old immortal sects are like this.

Even with a heritage of several thousands of years, when a powerful enemy appears, they would close the mountain gate, and could even close it for several hundred years. Avoiding and not coming out. Wait until the end of the powerful enemy's life, or after they disappear, then those immortal sects would come out one after another, re-enter the world and compete for worldly power.

"Immortal sects..." Lin Fei's eyes were cold, and he asked indifferently, "He Mountain Dao, Guardian Primordial Mountain, both have powerful magic treasures of the sect and mountain-protection formations. They can protect the sect and are not subject to the attacks of Martial Saints and Foundation Establishment True Persons. What does your Fairy Crane Sect have? It seems that you still don't understand your own situation. Now, let me help you understand better. Even if it's an immortal sect, there are differences. In front of me, you don't have the qualifications to negotiate terms!"

"Boom."

In the next moment, Lin Fei's saber momentum burst out in full force. Almost instantly, the entire gate of the Fairy Crane Sect was enveloped within it. Many Qi cultivators from the Fairy Crane Sect felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs and their bodies unable to move.

"Activate the mountain protection formation!"

The Fairy Crane Sect did not dare to delay. The mountain protection formation was activated instantly. With the opening of the formation, it isolated Lin Fei's saber momentum. However, Lin Fei just stretched out his hand. The next moment, infinite saber essence exploded from within his body. Gradually in the void, it condensed into a saber! A saber that was solid as reality and was several hundreds of meters high!

It was this saber that spanned across the void. Even through the mountain-protection formation, it caused numerous Qi cultivators to feel indescribably terrified.

"Slash!"

Lin Fei's hand waved lightly. Immediately, the several-hundred-meter-tall saber fell from the void, bringing the might to overturn heaven and earth. It fiercely slashed on the mountain protection formation.

"Crackle."

The earth-shattering collision that was expected did not happen at all. All the people of the Fairy Crane Sect seemed to have frozen in place all of a sudden. The mountain-protection formation that they had high hopes for actually couldn't withstand even for an instant.

"Crack, crack."

"Boom, boom, boom."

This mountain-protection formation was composed of six magic treasures. It could be called the strongest measure of the Fairy Crane Sect! Even a general Foundation Establishment True Person definitely wouldn't be able to break it. But now, these six magic treasures were all instantly shattered. The mountain-protection formation was instantly cut open by Lin Fei's hundred-meter heavenly saber.

"Rumble."

The several hundred meters heavenly saber fiercely descended, directly cleaving a mountain peak of the Fairy Crane Sect. Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth sank. Countless Qi cultivators from the Fairy Crane Sect tried to escape, but they couldn't.

Without the mountain-protection formation, Lin Fei's saber momentum instantly suppressed the entire Fairy Crane Sect.

"Kill!"

Lin Fei shouted in a low voice. The heavenly saber that had originally condensed, its saber energy had already dissipated. However, under the saber momentum, these saber energies actually re-condensed again. The heavenly saber was instantly divided into thousands of strands of saber energy. These strands of saber energy were as if they had grown eyes, flying towards the disciples of the Fairy Crane Sect who were suppressed by the saber momentum.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Each strand of saber energy instantly pierced through the heads of a disciple from the Fairy Crane Sect. The Fairy Crane Sect had hundreds of disciples, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Fairy Crane Sect had become dead silent. A thick smell of blood permeated the entire sect.

Lin Fei took one last look at the Fairy Crane Sect. In the void, countless saber energies converged once more.

"Heavenly Saber Art, Slash!"

The next moment, the several-hundred-meter tall heavenly saber in the void instantly fell.

"Rumble."

Countless mountain peaks of the Fairy Crane Sect were cut off by the heavenly saber. Rocks and mountains collapsed just like an earthquake. In the blink of an eye, the huge Fairy Crane Sect was completely buried in a pile of rubble. The Fairy Crane Sect was extinguished! Not a single disciple managed to escape. Even the lineage was completely cut off!

"Next, the Water Moon Sect."

Lin Fei did not even look at the Fairy Crane Sect. His figure disappeared in an instant, leaving behind two young men with stunned expressions and shocked faces. They had witnessed with their own eyes the destruction of the Fairy Crane Sect. That was the "Immortal Sect" in their hearts. However, such a prestigious Immortal Sect had ended up like this.

"I think we should go to the Nine Profound Sect to practice martial arts."

"These immortals are so weak, it's better not to seek the Dao of immortality!"

"Good, let's go to the Nine Profound Sect!"

The two young men also had the idea of practicing martial arts in their hearts. So, they quickly left the Fairy Crane Sect and rushed towards the Nine Profound Sect.

Lin Fei didn't care about the thoughts of the two young men. He made another trip to the Water Moon Sect.

As before, the Water Moon Sect was even worse than the Fairy Crane Sect. Similarly, Lin Fei broke the mountain protection formation with one saber. He slaughtered everyone in the Water Moon Sect. And this time, many people outside the Water Moon Sect witnessed this scene. The Water Moon Sect was eradicated. News spread like wildfire.

In the thirteenth year of Yongqing of Great Chang, on the eighteenth day of the fourth month.

Martial Saint Lin Fei, with supreme power, in one day, successively eradicated the Fairy Crane Sect and the Water Moon Sect, two major Immortal Sects!

The two major Immortal Sects, their lineage was severed, and everyone in the Immortal Sect was slaughtered to extinction!

When the news came out, the Immortal Sects were greatly shocked! The martial arts world was greatly shocked! The world was greatly shocked!
