Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 234 The Fall of Shuiyue, the Immortal Sect's Wrath

News of the Immortal Sect's betrayal and heavy losses quickly spread.

The Immortal Sect couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

Upon learning the news, all the major powers couldn't help but marvel at the audacity of the Huangji Sword Sect.

Of course, they were also secretly watching the Immortal Sect make a fool of themselves.

But their smiles soon faded.

The decree from the Immortal Sect has arrived, ordering all forces to search for the Imperial Sword Sect and report back to the Immortal Sect immediately upon discovery.

Anyone who dares to conceal anything should not blame the Immortal Sect for being ruthless.

In an instant, the resentment of various forces towards the Immortal Sect intensified.

They didn't want to cause trouble for the Imperial Sword Sect, and they also wanted to see just how far this mysterious Imperial Sword Sect and the Immortal Sect could fight.

Now the Immortal Sect actually wants to drag them all down with them.

How can we prevent them from getting angry?

But there was nothing they could do.

It's because the Immortal Sect has become too powerful; they can't resist it, especially those second- or third-rate forces.

However, there are always exceptions, such as the four ancient tribes.

They would never obey the orders of the Immortal Sect.

Not only them, but even their affiliated forces would not obey the orders of the Immortal Sect.

Even if the Immortal Sect is the number one power in Central Continent, so what?

Even if the Immortal Sect knew, they would never go to war with them.

Despite the constant infighting among the four ancient clans, they can set aside their personal grudges and unite against the Immortal Sect.

This is also one of the reasons why the Immortal Sect is unwilling to offend them easily.

Take the Qin and Zhou clans for example. The two clans are almost always at war when they meet, but as soon as someone from the Immortal Sect appears, the two clans will immediately stop fighting and then work together to deal with the person from the Immortal Sect.

Otherwise, given the domineering nature of the Immortal Sect, they would have already defeated the four ancient clans one by one.

Apart from the four ancient clans and their affiliated forces, other forces, under pressure from the Immortal Sect, had no choice but to cooperate with the Immortal Sect in a large-scale search for the whereabouts of the Imperial Sword Sect.

Shenwu Mountain.

"Hehe, the Immortal Sect is no longer hiding this time, but do you really think you can find the location of the Imperial Sword Sect this way?"

Upon receiving the news, Qin Wu couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

The commander of the secret guards inquired.

"What else can we do? Since they dare to interfere in our affairs, let's play with them and let the men of the Third Watch keep them company. Let's see if they can withstand my wrath."

Qin Wu sneered.

Now that the time has come, he plunged the entire Central Continent into complete chaos.

"By the way, tell Qin Jian to keep that Shuiyue company. Now that she's out, don't let her go back unharmed."

Qin Wu then gave further instructions.

He wanted to see how long the Immortal Sect could hide.

"My subordinate understands."

The commander of the secret guards withdrew.

Now, the members of Liushui have all gone into seclusion, and the secret guards are now being managed by the various commanders.

The one who came to report this time was a commander under Liu Shui's command.

With Qin Wu's order.

Sure enough, the Central Continent soon became lively.

Forces belonging to the Immortal Sect lineage were subjected to suicidal attacks from the third watch.

Suddenly, all the major forces suffered considerable losses due to being caught off guard.

This time, it has thoroughly enraged the Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect once again dispatched a large number of people to hunt down the Imperial Sword Sect and the Three Watches across the world.

Anyone suspected of being related to either of the two major factions was purged by them.

This directly fueled the hatred between the local forces of Zhongzhou and the Immortal Sect, as they were indeed no match for powerful martial artists in terms of strength.

However, they were all based in Zhongzhou and had their own networks of relationships. In the end, whenever members of the Immortal Sect went out, they would encounter all sorts of schemes.

Various methods of poisoning were employed, and local forces that helped the Immortal Sect were also secretly targeted, with many spies being exposed.

This caused a huge loss to the intelligence network of the Immortal Sect.

Now, members of the Immortal Sect must be extremely careful when going out, as no one knows when they might be poisoned or even assassinated.

This gave them a huge headache.

The four ancient clans couldn't help but sneer when they received the news.

This immortal sect has been high and mighty for too long, and completely looks down on the ordinary people of Zhongzhou.

Now I understand, even ants can fight back.

Moreover, the Huangji Sword Sect secretly contacted these forces, who then provided covert assistance.

This makes it even more difficult for the Immortal Sect to find the Imperial Sword Sect.

Instead, he was constantly assassinated by members of the Imperial Sword Sect.

Even Sangeng was making moves in the shadows; their assassination techniques were far superior to those of the Huangji Sword Sect.

Most importantly, if the assassination fails, they will detonate the bombs on their bodies immediately, which is what makes Sangeng so troublesome.

In this way, the Immortal Sect found two more places that were suspected to be the headquarters of the Imperial Sword Sect.

They immediately gathered their forces to launch a sneak attack on both locations, only to fall into the trap again, resulting in heavy casualties for the Immortal Sect.

Now, the people of the Immortal Sect no longer dare to easily attack the Huangji Sword Sect.

Even if they discover another place that seems to be a member of the Huangji Sword Sect.

These are not the most shocking pieces of news.

Most shockingly, it was a battle between terrestrial deities.

This was the first major battle between terrestrial deities to break out in Zhongzhou.

This battle caused the surrounding mountains to collapse and the rivers to flow backward.

In the end, Shuiyue, a powerful terrestrial immortal from the Immortal Sect, perished.

The mainland was shaken.

Immortal Sect.

"What? Shuiyue has fallen? What happened?"

The sect leader of the Immortal Sect roared in anger.

Shuiyue was sent out secretly; no one knew.

But now he has fallen, and other forces have found out about it.

This is not good news for the Immortal Sect. If this gets back to the Central Region, the higher-ups will likely hold him accountable.

"Sect Master, Deacon Shuiyue's body is on its way back. This time, we don't know which faction's terrestrial immortal came to our door. After a great battle, Deacon Shuiyue was defeated and died, unable even to escape."

The kneeling deacon below said helplessly.

It hasn't been long, and a steward at the terrestrial immortal realm has already fallen.

Who knows how many more will perish after that?

"Useless! You don't even know who he is. What are you good for? And Shuiyue has been hiding in the shadows all along. How did he get exposed?"

The sect leader of the Immortal Sect could not suppress his anger at all.

Apart from the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect, no one knew that they had sent Shuiyue to oversee the situation.

The deacon was also helpless; he wanted to know too.

If it weren't for the death of Steward Shuiyue, he wouldn't have known that Shuiyue had secretly left the sect.

How could anyone possibly know who attacked Shuiyue?

"Immediately send people to investigate. We must find this person and see which force secretly sent out such a powerful individual. Once found, they must pay the price."

"roll."

The sect leader of the Immortal Sect roared angrily.

He wouldn't have acted this way if the deceased had been a Grandmaster-level expert.

But that is a terrestrial immortal. Even if he is only at the first level, he is still a core fighting force of the immortal sect.

His demise was so swift and tragic; how could he not be furious?
