Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 318: The Descent of the Gold Core

Chapter 318: The Descent of the Gold Core

"Our sect's dominance was hard-earned, and predecessors may not know how much sacrifice was made to achieve the current situation. Alas, we, the younger generation, are unworthy, inferior to our ancestors, and even the foundation left by our founder is at risk of being lost," sighed Fei Tian Daoist Master.

Daoist Master Roaring Blaze and Guang Zhi Daoist Master were becoming a little impatient, wondering why Fei Tian Daoist Master was delving into centuries-old stories with a purpose they couldn't fathom.

Fei Tian Daoist Master glanced at Daoist Master Roaring Blaze and Guang Zhi Daoist Master, and with a tone full of regret, he said, "Originally, I had no intention of taking your lives. I just wanted to trap you and deal with you later. However, recently, I received news from the Jiuqu League that a formidable enemy is about to invade. It would be unwise to have enemies on all fronts, and I can't afford to keep you here."

"Today is the time for both of you to die."

Fei Tian Daoist Master's words, calmly spoken, sounded as if he was casually discussing a trivial matter. Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze stepped back, drawing closer to each other, watching Fei Tian Daoist Master as if facing a major threat.

"Senior, are you joking? We were just having a pleasant conversation earlier, and now you suddenly want to take our lives?" Guang Zhi Daoist Master forced a smile.

"Yeah, senior, this joke is not funny at all," followed Daoist Master Roaring Blaze.

They were both puzzled. Fei Tian Daoist Master shouldn't be so casually threatening their lives if he indeed intended to take them. Given Fei Tian Daoist Master's character, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would make such jokes lightly.

"Is that so? Do you really think I'm joking with you?" Fei Tian Daoist Master maintained his composed expression.

"By the way, Guang Zhi, how long has it been since you last contacted Forest Spring Watch? Several of their messages were intercepted by my secret technique."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but Forest Spring Watch has been completely exterminated, wiped out," said Fei Tian Daoist Master, and Guang Zhi Daoist Master looked at him in shock.

"You..." He pointed at Fei Tian Daoist Master, struggling to find words.

"Though our sect orchestrated the destruction of Forest Spring Watch, it wasn't my intention. Guang Zhi, you only have yourself to blame. You shouldn't have allied yourself with the evil entity from Deadly Sea of Sand."

"So, you know everything?" Guang Zhi Daoist Master was astonished.

"Do you think your connection with that evil entity could be hidden from our senior? In the end, you were just a pawn for that entity."

"Today, it's your time to die. Let me be generous and tell you that the downfall of Forest Spring Watch was merely the result of a bet between two great powers."

A series of revelations left Guang Zhi Daoist Master in shock, not knowing what to say. Even Daoist Master Roaring Blaze looked at the two with a puzzled expression, unaware of the hidden secrets they had never heard of before.

"Enough of the chit-chat; it's time for you to leave. If there's anything unclear, you can be confused ghosts underground," said Fei Tian Daoist Master in a plain tone.

"Senior, we acknowledge your profound cultivation base, which we can't match. However, let's not forget that you have taken a Ghost Oath. You cannot harm us and are obligated to protect us when we are threatened," Daoist Master Roaring Blaze quickly interjected, trying to prevent Fei Tian Daoist Master from taking action.

"Going against the Ghost Oath has consequences, which you should be well aware of."

"I do know, but I don't care about my life anymore."

Before he finished speaking, Fei Tian Daoist Master had already made a move. Without using any spells or magic tools, he fully released the power of his Gold Core.

The power emanating from the Gold Core was incredibly potent and pure, firmly trapping the two, preventing them from escaping for the time being.

Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze couldn't believe that Fei Tian Daoist Master would resort to such a mutually destructive method to temporarily trap them. They knew that the Dan force of the Gold Core came from its source, and once completely depleted, the Gold Core's source would dissipate entirely, leading to the demise of the Gold Core Daoist Master.

Fei Tian Daoist Master's actions were akin to using his own life to ensnare his opponents.

Almost simultaneously, two figures emerged from the ground below, leaping up and flying straight to the three not far away.

These two individuals are the other two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect, Fei Yu Daoist Master, and Fei Jiang Daoist Master. Without any hesitation, they immediately launched full-force attacks against Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze. Fei Tian Daoist Master's Dan force firmly immobilized them, greatly affecting their ability to defend themselves and making it impossible for them to escape in time. Without the chance to mobilize their Dan force, Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze couldn't even employ their ultimate self-destructive measures using their Gold Cores.

As Fei Tian Daoist Master's Dan force rapidly depleted, his face turned paler, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. Guang Zhi Daoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze struggled even harder to break free from Fei Tian Daoist Master's restraint, while Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master intensified their attacks.

Finally, before Fei Tian Daoist Master's Dan force was completely spent, Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master broke through the enemy's defenses and successfully killed both opponents. The pressure on Fei Tian Daoist Master diminished, but he did not feel the slightest relief.

He shouted, "Quick, leave! The Ghost Deity of the Netherworld is about to descend. The Ghost Deity is unpredictable, and you must not confront it."

Although they felt immense reluctance and sorrow, Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Fei Yu Daoist Master were decisive individuals and not ones to hesitate. They respectfully saluted Fei Tian Daoist Master and flew away into the distance without looking back, soon disappearing from sight.

Above Fei Tian Daoist Master, a huge vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex kept spinning, emitting a chilling aura, and a pitch-black giant hand emerged from it, directly grabbing Fei Tian Daoist Master, who had no power to resist, and forcibly dragging him into the vortex.

The vortex quickly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to normal. After a long time, Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master finally dared to fly back to their original location.

Seeing the emptiness around them and feeling the lingering chill, both of them knew Fei Tian Daoist Master's fate. Daring to violate the Ghost Oath meant only one outcome: being dragged alive into the Netherworld by the Ghost Deity.

Not to mention that Fei Tian Daoist Master had lost most of his Gold Core's essence, leaving him with minimal power. Even in his prime, he would have had no chance against the Netherworld Ghost Deity enforcing the Ghost Oath.

Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master fell into a silent contemplation. Fei Tian Daoist Master had dared to sacrifice his own life for the sake of the sect, eliminating the internal threat of the Endless Sea of Sand, allowing the Flying Swan Sect to fully focus on facing external enemies beyond the Endless Sea of Sand.
