A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1370: Bribery

The corpse-like man and the yellow-robed man with the deathly aura pounced at Yin Ming, and as he did so, the corpse-like man began chanting an incantation, upon which his body rapidly swelled to over a hundred thousand times its original size, transforming him into a gruesome-looking yellow zombie.

Countless streams of yellow pus were squirting out of his body, producing an indescribably nauseating odor.

The giant zombie swept its hands through the air, releasing ten streaks of yellow light that raced toward the vast expanse of black devilish shadows.

In contrast with the rotund woman, the corpse-like man was somehow able to remain unaffected by Yin Ming's heavenly devil law powers.

Meanwhile, the yellow-robed man drew his longsword, which was gray in color, then thrust it forward, and an enormous, gray sword projection appeared in front of Yin Ming without any warning before hurtling toward him.

Incredibly fearsome sword qi converged from all directions, giving off a deathly aura that reduced the entire surrounding area into lifeless, gray dust.

Yin Ming's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, seemingly rather apprehensive of the oncoming sword projection, and a hexagram array appeared beneath his feet.

In the next instant, he vanished from the spot, while six identical Yin Mings appeared at the tips of the hexagram array.

These six figures were completely identical in aura and appearance, making it impossible to tell which one was the real Yin Ming.

The yellow-robed man provided a direct and simple solution to the problem, splitting his gray sword projection into six to attack the six Yin Mings at once.

The six Yin Mings each made a hand seal in unison, and the sound of countless ghosts wailing at once instantly rang out across the entire space as one dark passageway appeared after another, with countless Extrarealm Heavenly Devils surging out of each one to inundate the pair of opposing devilish Dao Ancestors.

All of the Extrealm Heavenly Devils possessed extremely formidable auras, with no lack of Great Encompassment Stage ones among them, and a fierce battle ensued.

Meanwhile, Dao Ancestor Bai Yun, the red-faced elderly man, and the white-robed man were also clashing against the three primordial Dao Ancestors.

The six of them were inundated by lights of different colors, making it impossible to tell exactly what was happening, but it was clear that an intense battle was taking place inside.

The Heavenly Court Dao Ancestors were able to withstand the collective assault from the Devil Realm and the primordial land, but the rest of them were struggling immensely, having already been forced to gather together to form a defensive array.

The Heavenly Court cultivators were able to hold their own for now, but they were extremely passive and incapable of retaliation, and if nothing changed, then they would suffer a slow and painful demise.

Countless attacks were raining down from the heavens, and the protective barrier formed by the Heavenly Court cultivators was becoming thinner and thinner, while their hopes diminished more and more by the second.

"Looks like the Reincarnation Palace has seized the firm upper hand. Now, it's just a case of whether the Reincarnation Palace Master can defeat Gu Huojin," True Lord Cang Wu said as he observed the battle from afar.

"If Gu Huojin is allowed to get away, then the True Immortal Realm is most likely going to enter a period of great turmoil," the azure-haired Dao Ancestor remarked.

Zhen Shiyin conjured up a soundproofing restriction, then said, "In that case, why don't we help the Reincarnation Palace Master capture Gu Huojin to ensure the safety of the True Immortal Realm? In doing so, we'll also ensure that we're on the winning side. From what I've heard, the Reincarnation Palace Master seems to be a decent person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bring together both the devil race and the demon race."

The azure-haired man turned to True Lord Cang Wu upon hearing this, and the latter was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "I see that you've come here to lobby for the Reincarnation Palace, Fellow Daoist Zhen."

Zhen Shiyin faltered slightly upon hearing this, then asked, "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Cang Wu?"

"Back in the Jade Pond Paradise, you were clearly assisting the Reincarnation Palace Master in convincing everyone to leave. Also, I heard that you recently received a large sum of Immortal Origin Stones, with which you bought a huge spirit vine in the Yin Heavens Immortal Region, and that you're planning to establish a sect there.

“If I'm not mistaken, those Immortal Origin Stones were given to you by the Reincarnation Palace, right?" True Lord Cang Wu asked.

Zhen Shiyin's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, while the azure-haired Dao Ancestor turned to him with a surprised expression.

"Not only you, Fellow Daoist Zhen, but most of the sects that have chosen to leave the Jade Pond Paradise were bribed by the Reincarnation Palace at some point," True Lord Cang Wu continued.

"Is that true?" the azure-haired Dao Ancestor exclaimed.

"If not for that, do you really think so many people would be willing to leave just from hearing what the Reincarnation Palace Master had to say?" True Lord Cang Wu harrumphed.

"Buying out so many people must've required an incalculable amount of wealth. The Reincarnation Palace must've spent close to its entire wealth on that alone. What an impressive show of determination from the Reincarnation Palace Master," the azure-haired man praised.

"Now that I've been exposed, I suppose there's no need for me to hide it any longer. Fellow Daoist Cang Wu is correct in that the Reincarnation Palace Master has indeed approached me in the past. He also asked me to try and win over the two of you, and he has promised the two of you the same compensation that he gave me in exchange for your help," Zhen Shiyin admitted with a smile.

"I'm flattered that the Reincarnation Palace Master thinks so highly of me. Given what Gu Huojin is plotting, it's only right that I side with the Reincarnation Palace for the sake of the countless living beings of this world!" the azure-haired man decided.

"I assure you that's a wise decision, Fellow Daoist Feng. Right now, the Heavenly Court is already on the verge of collapse, and all that's required is another little push!" Zhen Shiyin said in an ecstatic manner, while True Lord Cang Wu remained silent, refusing to take a stance.

"Fellow Daoist Cang Wu, I know that you have a vendetta against the Reincarnation Palace Master, but now's not the time to be getting caught up in personal vendettas. If we allow Gu Huojin to get away today, the entire world will be in great peril.

“Also, the Reincarnation Palace Master possesses a Six Paths Reincarnation Plate that grants him control over the cycle of reincarnation. He has promised to use the Six Paths Reincarnation Plate to resurrect your fallen disciple if you're willing to lend him your assistance here," Zhen Shiyin said.

"Is that true?" True Lord Cang Wu asked in an excited manner.

"Someone of the Reincarnation Palace Master's status wouldn't lie about something like this. However, he has told us that your resurrected disciple won't have his memories from his past life, but he'll still have his cultivation aptitude," Zhen Shiyin said with a smile.

"That's fine, I can nurture him again given enough time. In that case, I am also willing to lend the Reincarnation Palace Master my assistance," True Lord Cang Wu said.

Zhen Shiyin was ecstatic to hear this, and the three of them began devising a plan together.

......

Right as Han Li was searching for Zhu Yan's aura, a speck of azure light suddenly appeared amid the withered section of the Eastern Vicissitudes Divine Tree, following which a small tree quickly emerged.

The tree grew rapidly before sprouting four limbs and transforming into a petite figure with incredibly potent wood law power fluctuations emanating from its body.

It was a gorgeous young woman who sprang up into the air, and Han Li noticed that her aura was identical to that of the elderly Zhu Yan.
