Chapter 3760: The Skyscraping Sword Scripture

The thunderous sound waves shook up all of the structures standing on the ground, stirring up dust. It affected both the inner and outer city.

The many of the weaker immortals moving about in the outer city were affected because they were not protected by the formation. They were injured by the sound waves. They either bled from all of their facial openings, or they clutched their heads and rolled around on the ground while howling out in pain.

“Void-perceiving Ancestor, the Wukun Master, there are many innocent immortals in the Immortal Rising City that have nothing to do with this. You are Immortal Exalts as well as masters of sects. You should be of exemplary character and conduct, so how can you harm the numerous unrelated immortals in the Immortal Rising City over a contention of fortunes between us?” A figure rose up from the city lord’s estate. He shone with haze, wrapped in the light of the ways. He also gave off the might of an Immortal Exalt.

However, compared to the two people in the sky, the Immortal Exalt from the city lord’s estate had a presence that was much milder.

His presence was weakened. He was feeble, clearly quite injured.

But with his appearance, the presence of Immortal Emperors erupted from the eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City.

At this moment, two Immortal Emperors floated up from each of the eight organisations in the Immortal Rising City. They radiated with energy and pressure, surrounding the Immortal Exalt from the city lord’s estate in a strange formation.

Each of the eight organisations of the Immortal Rising City had two Immortal Emperors, which amounted to sixteen Immortal Emperors in total.

However, these sixteen Immortal Emperors clearly completely obeyed the Immortal Exalt from the city lord’s estate.

“Alright, we’ll do what you say. We won’t harm or affect the innocent.” The resonant voice rang out again in the air. The voice was very loud, but it was clearly far gentler than before.

Shortly afterwards, the two Immortal Exalts slowly withdrew their presences. The countless immortals in the Immortal Rising City felt their bodies ease up.

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, we’ve done what you asked us to do, so can you hand over the Skyscraping Sword Scripture now?” The voice rang out again.

“I only managed to obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture at a tremendous price. This is my fortune, so how can I just hand it over to someone else?” the Immortal Exalt who emerged from the city lord’s estate said sternly.

He was Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, also a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, as well as the only Immortal Exalt of the Immortal Rising City.

It was also because of his existence that the Immortal Rising City rose above all else and obtained extraordinary status, renowned as one of the three great cities of the Hall Brilliance Heaven.

The three great immortal cities all had peak organizations with Immortal Exalts.

Of course, they could only be regarded as city-like organisations.

There were many more peak organisations that existed on the Hall Brilliance Heaven as clans or sects.

“In other words, you refuse to hand over the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu?” one of the Immortal Exalts outside the barrier said. His tone gradually turned cold.

He was the ancestor of one of the peak organisations on the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Void-perceiving sect. He was known as the Void-perceiving Ancestor.

“It’s impossible if you want me to hand over the Skyscraping Sword Scripture,” the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, said resolutely. There was no room for negotiation.

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, if you don’t hand over the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, there will be a fight between us. You’re already heavily injured, so you’re not our opponent, which is why you’re forced to hide under the protection of the formation. However, if we attack the formation, the shockwaves created will lead to a large number of casualties. Are you really going to just stand by and do nothing as these countless innocent immortals die because of you?” the Void-perceiving Ancestor said coldly. His voice grew even more frigid.

“Hahaha, Void-perceiving Ancestor, are you trying to threaten me with the lives of the countless immortals in the Immortal Rising City?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu laughed and said, “Don’t forget that you’re also ancestors of sects. If you’re bold enough to threaten me with the Immortal Rising City today, then there will be people bold enough to threaten you with the Void-perceiving sect and the Sword Sect of Mount Kun.”

“Moreover, my Immortal Rising City is different from your Void-perceiving sect and Sword Sect of Mount Kun. Your sects are filled with your own disciples, while my Immortal Rising City is a gathering of descendants and disciples from various organisations across the Hall Brilliance Heaven. There are even successors of other peak sects from other heavens here, so I’d like to ask if you actually have the courage to do that.”

When they heard his words, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s faces sank. There was some caution in their eyes.

Both of them were aware that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was not bluffing. Unlike sects and clans, the Immortal Rising City was an open city. In particular, as one of the three great cities of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, many disciples and descendants from various organisations gathered there. Many of these organisations and clans possessed property in the city too.

Perhaps any random immortal they encountered here, even if they were not particularly powerful, could be from a major organisation.

The Void-perceiving sect and the Sword Sect of Mount Kun were peak organisations, but if they made too many enemies, then it would severely impact the development of their sects.

However, after a moment of silence, the Wukun Master sneered. “Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, do you think that’s enough to stop us?”

The Wukun Master paused before looking at the outer city. He said loudly, “I am the ancestor of the Sword Sect of Mount Kun of the Hall Brilliance Heaven. I am known as the Wukun Master. I will be working with the Void-perceiving Ancestor to destroy this formation soon. Please leave this place immediately to avoid any unnecessary losses.”

The Immortal Rising City covered an extremely expansive region, no smaller than a powerful empire, but the Wukun Master’s voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the land and reaching all corners of the city.

Because the inner city was completely sealed off, the people inside were forced to remain. However, without the powerful formation, all of the people in the outer city fled immediately. Many stores shut down before rising up from the ground and flying off into the distance as they shimmered with light.

Many of these stores were forged from powerful immortal artifacts. They were under the control of various organisations that stood in the Immortal Rising City. If the need arose, they could take the entire store with them instantly.

Very soon, all of the people gathered in the outer city had left. Many of the structures on the ground had vanished as well, exposing empty plots of land.

There was nothing that Immortal Emperor Tan Yu could do about this. He could only watch helplessly as these structures flew away.

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, let’s see how long your protective formation can last now.” The Void-perceiving Ancestor sneered. He opened his hand. A tiny three-legged cauldron appeared out of nowhere, which he threw at the formation below.

As soon as it left his hand, the three-legged cauldron swelled to three thousand metres across, shining with blinding light and radiating with the pressure of a high quality god artifact.

Boom! With a rumble, the three-legged cauldron slammed down with resplendent light, striking the protective formation around the Immortal Rising City.

The protective formation immediately erupted with blinding light. It operated at full strength, blocking the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s attack.
