Starting with a Super Five-Star Hotel-Chapter 543 Senior Brother Save Me_1

"So many disciples of the Longevity Realm... This power is truly terrifying!"

Su Xuan couldn’t help but squint as he and Ying Lan arrived at the Immortal Mountain plaza. He saw four to five hundred Longevity Realm disciples gathered there. Although they weren’t revealing their cultivation bases, they still formed an intimidating aura that made it difficult to breathe.

Like Ying Lan, they were all chatting and laughing, clearly not taking this mission too seriously.

"Senior Brother," standing at the back of the group, Ying Lan whispered to Su Xuan, "The old Sect Master was on his deathbed before, and the outside world thought our Immortal Mountain was in decline, but now he has sprung back to life. It’s very likely he wants to use this mission to show off Immortal Mountain’s capabilities."

Su Xuan felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. If that’s true, then the Immortal Mountain’s sinkhole isn’t experiencing any anomalies at all. This trip would be completely safe, which would make it difficult for the plan that just sparked in my mind to succeed.

"Let’s set off!"

After rallying the troops with an inspiring speech, the Great Elder, who was leading this mission, waved his hand, signaling the disciples to head toward the Immortal Mountain’s sinkhole. The other elders stood by the Great Elder’s side, with the Second Elder, Ma Beiqiu, among them.

Ma Beiqiu’s gaze rested on Su Xuan and Ying Lan, and he nodded with a smile. I hope my two precious disciples perform excellently in the sinkhole and achieve the highest kill count. Isn’t this also a competition of strength?

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

No sooner had the Great Elder finished speaking than a series of sharp whistles tore through the air. A multitude of flying spirit beasts, summoned by the disciples present, flew in from all directions of Immortal Mountain, seeking their respective owners.

Ying Lan’s blue peacock was among them.

Su Xuan stroked his chin. Should I call my Golden Crocodile over? Now that it looks like a nirvana phoenix, riding it would definitely attract... a lot of attention. I bet plenty of people would curse me for it.

"Senior Brother, you can ride with me..."

Ying Lan knew her Senior Brother had no love for flying mounts and hadn’t spent money on a decent one. She was just about to offer Su Xuan a ride on hers when her beautiful eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

A bizarre beast enveloped in purple qi landed next to Su Xuan with a THUD.

It was Ma Beiqiu’s mount, the Purple Qilin!

"Disciple, I’m lending you my mount. Take good care of your Junior Sister."

At the same time, Ma Beiqiu conveyed the message to Su Xuan using his True Qi.

"Understood."

Su Xuan cupped his fists toward Ma Beiqiu, who stood high on the platform. His appreciation for this nominal master of his deepened a little more.

I can’t understand how such a kind master could have taught a disciple like Feng Zhengyuan, who is so full of hostility. Perhaps it was just too much indulgence.

Next, the Great Elder led the other elders into the sky, dashing ahead toward the sinkhole located a hundred li to the east of Immortal Mountain. Ma Beiqiu rode on a spare flying mount, leaving the most impressive one for Su Xuan.

"Let’s go!"

"Time for battle!"

The disciples shouted one after another, spurring their mounts into the air! They followed the elders in a mighty throng, heading toward the sinkhole.

Since the distance wasn’t great, the group quickly arrived above the sinkhole.

"Interesting..." Su Xuan clucked his tongue in amazement as he rode Ma Beiqiu’s mount, looking down from above.

To an ordinary person, the area below was just a scenic valley, not a treacherous and dangerous sinkhole. But with his mutated vision, Su Xuan could see a gigantic barrier enshrouding the valley. Beneath it lay the true scene of the sinkhole, roiling with black mist! The beautiful valley was merely an illusion created by the barrier.

"Senior Brother, the grand array our Immortal Mountain has placed over the sinkhole is ranked number one for sturdiness!" Ying Lan told Su Xuan via voice transmission. "The other sects wouldn’t dare spend as much on the sinkholes they’re responsible for."

"The Yu Xian Sect’s protective array is quite good, too," Su Xuan commented.

"You can’t compare us to the Yu Xian Sect!" Ying Lan pouted. "Their sect may not be large, but they have a profound connection with Ancestor Meng. Of course their grand array is going to be excellent."

HUM!

As they were chatting, a humming sound suddenly emanated from the sturdy protective barrier. Su Xuan looked over and saw that the dozen or so elders had jointly opened several passages. This signified that the mission had officially begun.

"Let’s go in!"

"My Qingyun Peak will surely top the kill leaderboard this time!"

"My Spirit Sword Peak will definitely put your Qingyun Peak in its place!"

"Don’t you dare overlook my Luoxing Peak! Just you wait and see!"

Without waiting for the Great Elder’s order, a large number of Immortal Mountain disciples scrambled into the passages, disappearing from sight. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Senior Brother, our Jinlian Peak is counting on you!" Ying Lan shouted to Su Xuan with a cheerful smile, then spurred her blue sparrow to fly into one of the passages.

Su Xuan shrugged and hurriedly flew in after her.

Up to this point, the atmosphere remained cheerful and excited, with all the elders stroking their beards and smiling. They didn’t enter the passages, instead waiting outside; for them to go in would have been overkill.

HUM!

With a mental tremor, Su Xuan passed through the passage and entered the sinkhole. A surge of black mist rushed to meet him. For a moment, he couldn’t see Ying Lan anywhere.

"Let’s see who will be the first to land!"

"Who will get the first prize!"

"I’ll get the first kill!"

Shouts rose and fell all around. Many disciples spurred their mounts, diving into the rolling black mist.

"Senior Brother, I’m over here!"

Ying Lan’s voice suddenly rang out from below Su Xuan, accompanied by a blue light that pierced through the black mist.

"Coming," Su Xuan replied, immediately diving toward her position.

It was at that exact moment that something completely unexpected happened.

CHH! CHH! CHH! CHH! CHH! CHH!

A series of ear-piercing whistles suddenly erupted from within the rolling black mist! Then, countless crimson tentacles shot out from the mist, stabbing toward the Immortal Mountain disciples who were diving down!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The attack was completely unexpected; nothing like it had ever happened before. In an instant, a dozen or so disciples were pierced by the tentacles. They and their mounts exploded into a fine mist of blood!

A rain of blood showered down into the black-misted sinkhole.

Silence. An abrupt silence fell.

Everyone was petrified.

How could something so formidable appear? It slaughtered Longevity Realm Experts as if they were nothing? Wasn’t this mission supposed to be a formality?

Su Xuan, however, had seen these tentacles before in the Yu Xian Sect’s sinkhole and knew how terrifying they were. He stomped hard on the mount Ma Beiqiu had lent him, pushing off of it to evade a deadly tentacle. Ignoring the fate of his borrowed mount, he plummeted toward Ying Lan’s position.

BOOM!

After falling for several dozen feet, he heard a heart-stopping sound and saw a puff of blue blood mist.

At the same time, a terrified voice reached his ears.

"Senior Brother! Save me!"
