Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 919 - 502: Burning Bridges After Crossing_2

The next moment, the massive Red Shining Immortal Palace slowly began to move, like a flying mountain.

The scene was immensely spectacular. Many Outer Disciples were unaware that their own Red Shining Immortal Palace could move and fly. At this moment, each one of them gaped and stared dumbfoundedly, their entire expression frozen.

This Red Shining Immortal Palace, which consumed the great wealth of the Fire Cloud Palace and took centuries to build, causing Fire Cloud Palace to go bankrupt eight times, had incredibly rich functions. But the most important feature was to act as a war fortress, a presence even more powerful than a Flying Magical Boat.

Even though Fire Cloud Palace did not have a Flying Magical Boat, the presence of the Red Shining Immortal Palace was enough to bridge the gap with Guan Chao Pavilion in terms of Flying Magical Boats, and even surge ahead.

Under the leadership of Chu Yangang, each Elder flew into the Red Shining Immortal Palace. They would ride this palace to attack the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance.

The enormous Red Shining Immortal Palace flew higher and higher, faster and faster, gradually disappearing from people’s view.

...

Zhang Chenfeng chose not to depart with the Red Shining Immortal Palace. His body was riddled with wounds after a fight with Zhao Bilong that left both sides grievously injured, and he no longer had any combat power.

Therefore, he arrived at the base of a thousand-meter-tall active volcano hundreds of miles away.

This location was also the spiritual material production area for the Fire Cloud Palace, and the volcano was called Tan Ping Mountain. It produced a kind of Fire Marrow Ore.

However, Zhang Chenfeng did not come here to mine; he had no such leisure.

"Open the tower, I need to go into seclusion for recovery."

Zhang Chenfeng entered the interior of the active volcano, where bubbling, scorching lava was roiling.

"Yes, Elder, please."

The disciples who heard the command quickly took out a token.

The volcanic lava began to churn violently and slowly parted, revealing a structure underneath.

That structure turned out to be a pagoda, over thirty meters tall, called the Wilderness Tower. It was one of the wonders built by the first Sect Master of Fire Cloud Palace, suited for strong individuals at the Taoist Platform Realm to better absorb the fire energy from the earth veins of the volcano. It’s said to also incorporate the Phoenix’s rebirth from flames ability, which for those cultivating Fire Attribute cultivation techniques, could accelerate recovery from injuries and improve body well-being.

Zhang Chenfeng rose and stepped into the volcano. The entrance at the base of the Wilderness Tower opened, and Zhang Chenfeng entered it alone.

Soon, the entire Wilderness Tower submerged back into the volcanic lava, vanishing without a trace.

The interior of the Wilderness Tower was empty, save for strands of fire burning seemingly from nowhere, which were the essence of fire condensed from absorbing the volcano’s essence.

Zhang Chenfeng sat cross-legged in mid-air, slowly absorbing the essence of fire inside the Wilderness Tower, to heal the internal injuries of his body.

What Zhang Chenfeng did not know was that outside the Wilderness Tower, a massacre was underway.

Countless strands of black hair, sharp as blades, rampaged within the volcano, and the hundreds of disciples stationed there were immediately cut to pieces, leaving a ground littered with corpses.

Silent and unnoticed, an exceptionally beautiful woman appeared in the center, dressed in an ornate blood-colored wedding dress, her skin as white as jade, precisely Han Ruyan, this Eighth Grade Evil Spirit.

Moments later, footsteps echoed as Su Jie, holding a thousand-hand centipede in his arms, stepped into the area, treading over the dense pool of blood on the ground.

"Xiao Qian, open the door."

Su Jie fixed his gaze on the rolling lava beneath the volcano, patting the head of the thousand-hand centipede.

Zi Zi!

The thousand-hand centipede excitedly shrieked twice, rushed into the lava, opened its gigantic mouth, and revealed enormous pincers, biting into the Wilderness Tower.

Rumble!

The Wilderness Tower shook violently, cracks appeared throughout its structure. This was a construction meant for cultivation and recovery, not built for war, so its defenses were naturally limited.

Zhang Chenfeng, inside the Wilderness Tower, was jolted awake. He hadn’t yet understood what was happening when he saw the Wilderness Tower split in two from top to bottom.

The fiery lava outside surged, and a familiar figure appeared before him. freeweɓnøvel~com

"Su Jie..., didn’t you leave? What do you intend to do by coming here?"

In an instant, Zhang Chenfeng’s face changed drastically, his eyes full of surprise. Su Jie’s posture clearly showed no good intentions by coming here.

"Long time no see—or rather, it hasn’t been that long."

Su Jie had a smile on his face as he looked up and down at Zhang Chenfeng, saying, "I heard that Elder Zhang is recuperating here, so I specifically came to see you. It’s just that Xiao Qian was a bit too forceful and accidentally broke the door. Please don’t take offense."

Zi zi, the little Qian in his arms called out twice, seemingly protesting Su Jie’s false accusation.

Zhang Chenfeng’s face was gloomy, his mind racing. His divine sense spread out, trying to send a message through divine sense transmission to contact the disciples outside, urging them to quickly go to the sect and call for help, as he sensed a dangerous and malicious aura from Su Jie.

"Don’t waste your efforts, Elder Zhang. They’re all asleep and can’t attend to you."

Su Jie’s smile grew brighter, as this kind of divine sense couldn’t escape Su Jie’s notice. Although Su Jie only had the cultivation of the Taoist Platform Realm Second Layer, in terms of primordial spirit strength, he was above Zhang Chenfeng, a strong cultivator at the Taoist Platform Realm Fifth Layer.

"Do you know what you’re doing, Su Jie? Offending our Fire Cloud Palace will have consequences you can’t bear."

Zhang Chenfeng’s heart sank as his divine sense had already detected what had happened to the disciples outside.

"Guan Chao Pavilion said the same thing to me, and the result was evident. How much stronger can your Fire Cloud Palace be compared to Guan Chao Pavilion?"

Su Jie’s eyes were full of reckless arrogance as he took steps toward Zhang Chenfeng.

"Su Jie, you’re just after the Low Grade Spirit Treasure, the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring, in my hand, aren’t you! I’ll give it to you for the sake of our camaraderie in battle, spare me a way out."

Seeing Su Jie approach, for the first time, panic showed in Zhang Chenfeng’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and took a gamble, taking out the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring from his storage bag, hoping to fulfill Su Jie’s demand. He thought Su Jie came for the Low Grade Spirit Treasure, the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring.

"Foolish, by killing you, the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring will still be mine. With your current state, do you still have the right to hold onto such a treasure?"

Su Jie merely sneered at his words, his eyes filled with mockery: "Speaking of which, your Fire Cloud Palace is indeed a good partner, helping me deal with Both the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance and Guan Chao Pavilion. Without you, I wouldn’t be doing this well now.

But I honestly didn’t come just for your Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring. Your Fire Cloud Palace plans to dispose of me, using my head to cleanse its reputation. Unfortunately, I share the same intention.

Your Fire Cloud Palace’s power is getting too big; this is not what I want. When Qingzhou gets swallowed, Ghost Ridge Palace would be threatened by you. What I want is for all of you to be weakened equally; a balanced power is what I require."

Su Jie’s smile was radiant. With his strength advancing by leaps and bounds, he knew he would eventually inherit the position of Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace, which he already regarded as his private domain.

But now, with Fire Cloud Palace dominating, it did not align with Su Jie’s or Ghost Ridge Palace’s interests.

Su Jie prefers these righteous sects to be balanced in power, similar to the balance of powers played by Great Britain across the continent, a concept Su Jie grasped well and applied.

Upon hearing Su Jie’s words, Zhang Chenfeng’s pupils contracted: "You, how did you know?"

"Is it strange? Many times, your actions are easy to predict. A righteous sect that can collaborate with a demon cultivator, I’m not foolish enough to think you’re noble and just, now am I?"

Su Jie stood before Zhang Chenfeng and struck with his hand.

"Demon..."

Zhang Chenfeng regretted in his heart; indeed, cooperating with a demon cultivator was like seeking labor from a tiger. He remembered the words Zhao Bilong said before his death, and couldn’t believe they came true so soon.

He wanted to wield the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring, but Han Ruyan was faster, her blood-colored wedding dress transformed into a torrential river of blood clothes, wrapping him like a dumpling.

His severely injured body was unable to withstand the assault of Han Ruyan, the Eighth Grade Evil Spirit.

Buzz buzz!

The Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring autonomously protected its master, releasing a scorching flame shockwave, but lacking spiritual power supply, the power was severely affected.

The thousand-hand centipede blocked in front of the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring, biting onto the spiritual treasure.

Overwhelmingly, Su Jie pressed down his handprint, opening the Heavenly Eye, connecting with the Tao River, the Chaos Dharma form appeared behind him. Together with Su Jie’s strike, it entered Zhang Chenfeng’s body, leaving him no chance to struggle.

Bang!

Zhang Chenfeng’s head burst like a rotten watermelon, smashed directly by Su Jie, dying on the spot.

This powerhouse at the Taoist Platform Realm Fifth Layer, defeated Zhao Bilong, yet died so easily at Su Jie’s hands, because his combat strength had long been exhausted in the clash against Zhao Bilong.

"Next, I should pay a visit to the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, hoping they have more cards to play so they can trouble Fire Cloud Palace."

After taking the storage bag from Zhang Chenfeng’s waist and sweeping his divine sense through its contents, Su Jie showed a satisfied smile.
