High above, Mo Hu and Liu Qingyi squared off, their gazes locked in a silent battle of wills. Mo Hu surveyed the two skirmishes unfolding beneath them, a triumphant grin spreading across his face.
He and Liu Qingyi were evenly matched in power. A full-on clash between them would surely end in mutual annihilation.
Below, Qing Li, the Green Origin Sect's wunderkind who had overcome tribulation, was being overpowered by Hei Nan.
Meanwhile, the Green Essence Chamber of Commerce's own Quasi-Great Cheng cultivator faced imminent defeat at the hands of the Black Cloud Alliance's rising star.
Once those two were out of the picture, wouldn't it be child's play for the trio to dispatch Liu Qingyi?
"Do you really believe you've won, Mo Hu?" Liu Qingyi's voice was cool, detached. Her gaze drifted downward involuntarily, the hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
Mo Hu's confidence wavered, and he followed her gaze.
Suddenly...
A figure he recognized materialized before his eyes.
Black Tiger's pupils contracted in shock.
He had never imagined that the enigmatic young man Liu Qingyi and her allies had been seeking would show up at this pivotal moment!
"Peter Parker, perfect timing. Join me and let's take down this brat," Qing Li called out, spotting Peter's arrival.
Peter Parker spared Qing Li no attention. With a swift move, he was at Wu Sheng's side, effortlessly deflecting a lethal punch and pulling Wu Sheng out of harm's way.
"You're quite formidable, kid. You've earned the right to face me," the youth clad in black declared, his eyes locked on Peter, a surge of battle lust emanating from him.
Peter Parker remained unfazed by the challenge. He lifted his gaze to Liu Qingyi and her companion hovering in the void and stated calmly, "If you'd rather not be exploited, I suggest a ceasefire."
At Peter's words, Liu Qingyi and her ally were visibly taken aback.
"Peter, what are you getting at?" Liu Qingyi inquired, her confusion evident.
Peter Parker, hands clasped behind him, gazed down at the icy expanse below and replied softly, "You'll understand soon enough."
Moments after Peter Parker's voice echoed, two figures emerged slowly from the icy expanse below.
"Is there really someone else in Daoist Tian Yu's ruins?" Liu Qingyi and Mo Hu's eyes narrowed in surprise as they watched a young man and a woman materialize on the frosty plain.
The existence of the Sky Feather Daoist's ruins was not common knowledge. They had only managed to locate and access the site due to the fortunate acquisition of a key. Now, to their astonishment, there were others besides their group of ten within the Sky Feather Daoist's domain. Were these newcomers residents of the ruins, or, like them, had they ventured here from the outside world?
Regardless, their presence introduced a host of unpredictable factors to this expedition.
Liu Qingyi inhaled deeply, about to speak, when Qing Li, who had narrowly evaded Hei Nan's assault, also noticed the two figures on the icy plain and exclaimed in disbelief, "Adan Weaver Hao, you... why are members of your Tai Yi Immortal Sect here?"
Qing Li had encountered Adan Weaver Hao during his training in the Immortal Breaking Universe and recognized him at once. It was unexpected to find this prodigy of the Taiyi Immortal Sect in Daoist Tian Yu's ruins.
The revelation that someone from the Taiyi Immortal Sect was present caused Liu Qingyi and Mo Hu's expressions to darken. The Great Unity Immortal Sect, ranking among the top three in the Immortal Breaking Universe's elite sects, boasted immeasurable power. Competing with the Taiyi Immortal Sect for the Immortal Destiny within these ruins would be no easy feat.
"Mo Hu, given the current situation, I think it might be wise for us to collaborate," Liu Qingyi suggested through a telepathic message, her gaze sharp.
"Agreed," Mo Hu responded without hesitation, understanding that the might of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was beyond what either the Green Sky Sect or the Black Cloud Alliance could contend with on their own.
Regardless of their allegiance, facing the Taiyi Immortal Sect alone would likely spell defeat for any faction. Their only hope was to unite and possibly stand a chance against the formidable sect.
Otherwise...
The Immortal Destiny hidden within Daoist Heavenplume's ruins might fall into the hands of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
"Qing Li, I didn't expect your Green Sky Sect to venture into Daoist Tian Yu's remains as well," Adan Weaver Hao said, looking up at Qing Li who hovered in midair, appearing quite disheveled. Surprise flickered in his eyes.
Yet...
The scene before him indicated that the Green Yuan Sect members were locked in combat with another group.
In other words,
Another faction had infiltrated the ruins of the Sky Feather Sect alongside the Green Essence Sect.
Moreover...
A prodigious young talent from this rival group had managed to overpower Qing Li, leaving him unable to fight back—a testament to the newcomer's remarkable origins.
"The Taiyi Immortal Sect seems to have uncovered Daoist Tian Yu's dwelling. They've already convened there. If you'd rather not fall to them before we do, follow me," Peter Parker stated coolly to Liu Qingyi and Adan Weaver Hao as he descended to join them.
"Let's go. Lead us to where the Tai Yi Immortal Sect has assembled," Adan Weaver Hao said, his brow furrowing slightly.
The capabilities of this new group were not to be underestimated. Bringing them to the sect's gathering spot could spell significant trouble for the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
But...
Adan Weaver Hao was acutely aware that he was in a precarious position, akin to a fish on a cutting board.
Survival meant he had no choice but to guide Peter Parker and his companions.
Taking a deep breath, Adan Weaver Hao set off, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes.
The unfolding events at Daoist Tian Yu's ruins had taken an unexpected turn. He needed to find a way to relay this development to the Taiyi Immortal Sect.
Without a moment's delay, Liu Qingyi saw Peter Parker and the others start to advance. She swiftly beckoned Wu Sheng and Qing Li to join them.
"Chairman Mo, should we follow them? Could this be a trap set by Liu Qingyi and the others?"
Hei Nan's brow furrowed subtly as he watched Peter Parker and his group depart.
Mo Hu's face tensed at Hei Nan's suggestion.
Though there might be more than one key to Daoist Tian Yu's tomb, it was conceivable that the Taiyi Immortal Sect had acquired a key to gain entry as well.
Yet, the timing of the Taiyi Immortal Sect's arrival coincided almost exactly with their own.
Wasn't that coincidence a bit too convenient?
