The Lord of Silvermoon City was also a late-stage Divine Lord Realm expert, with a very high seniority, even more senior than the Feiyun Cave Master. He was an old monster-level powerhouse, yet he had made a move.
"Little kids, I'm really sorry, but we can't let you ruin Lord Empuda's affairs. Otherwise, if he takes out his anger on us, our small Silvermoon City can't bear it." The Lord of Silvermoon City blocked Bai Shishi and the others' path, smiling slightly.
"If you can't afford to offend Empuda, can you afford to offend Lingxiao Academy?" Bai Shishi felt the surging divine power emanating from the Lord of Silver Moon City, both shocked and furious. They were both Divine Lord-level experts, but his realm was far too high.
Early Divine Lord Realm experts might still have the strength to fight, but if they were mid-stage, they would have no strength to resist, let alone late Divine Lord Realm experts.
"There's nothing we can do. Your Lingxiao Academy is a prestigious orthodox sect and won't commit extermination. But the Blood Kill Hall is different. If we don't help, Silvermoon City could be destroyed because of it.
So... Hehehe, sorry, I have no choice but to make a move. I believe you won't blame me, right? The Lord of Silvermoon City chuckled, looking just like an old fox.
"Shameless!"
Bai Shishi was furious. Silvermoon City was originally the host of the Nine Provinces Conference and had always been neutral. She hadn't expected her true colors to be revealed at this moment. She was originally a follower of the Great Brahma Heaven, otherwise she wouldn't have obeyed Empuda's orders so much.
That's right, it's just that shameless. One good person, one bad person. Most people choose to offend good people, because good people leave room for it, while bad people wipe them out completely. This is the unspoken rule of the world.
"Heh, say whatever you want. I have no choice right now, and besides, I'm sorry, I'm about to make a move. I need to capture you alive. If anything goes wrong, I still have a trump card in my hand. I hope you won't blame me for bullying the weak."
The Lord of Silvermoon City chuckled, shameless words spoken so naturally, as he slowly walked toward Bai Shishi.
Bai Shishi and the others were so furious they felt like their lungs would explode. This Lord of Silvermoon City was utterly shameless. Bai Shishi shouted angrily,
"Old man, unless you can kill me, the day I rise to prominence will be the day Silvermoon City falls."
"No, you don't have that chance, and I won't keep a troublemaker like you behind, hehe."
"Buzz!"
The Lord of Silvermoon City made his move. His shriveled hand spread wide and slammed down toward everyone. Chains of divine energy intertwined like a dome roof, sealing off all the space around Bai Shishi and the others.
Bai Shishi and the others were shocked and anxious, attacking with all their might. However, the attacks they gathered shattered one after another under the Silvermoon City Lord's palm, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.
Bai Shishi, Young Master Changchuan, Luo Xue, Luo Qing, and the others were all shaken to their core, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"Oh no, his cultivation is too high. We're being suppressed and can't perform at our best." Young Master Changchuan was shocked and anxious. The pressure from the Lord of Silvermoon City had a tremendous impact on them, making it impossible to absorb the power of the Heavenly Dao to attack.
"A bunch of ants, know to be respectful and surrender obediently. Otherwise, if I don't know how to strike, I'll crush one or two of them. Don't blame me." The Lord of Silvermoon City looked down from above, slowly approaching, and struck down with another palm.
"Boom!"
Bai Shishi struggled to defend herself, but her longsword was sent flying backward. Under the suppression of the Silvermoon City Lord's realm, she couldn't even unleash half of her golden power, and even her first-generation bloodline was suppressed.
Bai Shishi let go of her long sword, her blood and energy surging, feeling as if the runes within her body were about to be shattered, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Bastard, more than half of this realm's pressure is due to spiritual power. My spiritual power isn't strong enough, so I'm affected."
Bai Shishi gritted her teeth, hating her own lack of spiritual power. If she had Long Chen's strong mental strength, she could ignore this pressure.
Long Chen could ignore the pressure of a Realm King, but she couldn't even withstand the pressure of a late-stage Divine Lord realm. Seeing Long Chen trapped in the formation, she couldn't help at all, her face turning pale with anxiety.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Lord of Silvermoon City struck Bai Shishi with his palm. Seeing the danger, Young Master Changchuan and the others all tried their best to resist, but each of them was sent flying backward like meteors. Under the suppression of their cultivation, they couldn't use their strength and were so frustrated they nearly coughed up blood.
"Give up useless struggles." The smile on the Lord of Silvermoon City carried a hint of sinister sinisterness.
"Clang"
—At that moment, a sound of a zither rang out. Bai Shishi and the others felt their spirits lift, and the pressure surrounding them instantly lessened considerably.
Liao Yuhuang's figure appeared in front of Bai Shishi, blocking the path of the Lord of Silvermoon City.
"What's wrong?" Does the Qin Sect want to get involved in this matter too? Seeing Liao Yuhuang, the Lord of Silvermoon City frowned.
"Senior, you have dealt with a group of junior disciples like this. I really can't stand it anymore and am willing to learn a few moves." Liao Yuhuang said coldly.
Bai Shishi and the others never expected Liao Yuhuang to help them. After all, the Qin Sect has always ignored grudges in the Immortal Realm and never interferes in any disputes.
"Hmph, I can't stand it anymore. Just because I'm a disciple of the Qin Sect, I won't dare do anything to you." The Lord of Silvermoon City shouted angrily. He wasn't afraid of Liao Yuhuang, but he was afraid of the Qin Sect behind Liao Yuhuang, one of the Four Ancient Sects, like a forbidden zone of life—not someone to provoke at all.
"There's no use in saying more. I apologize for my rudeness."
Liao Yuhuang slapped the guqin in his hand, and the five tones resounded in unison, shaking heaven and earth. The pressure released by the Lord of Silvermoon City was instantly shattered.
Originally, Bai Shishi and the others were like fish trapped in mud, but now they were in the water. The suppression had completely vanished, leaving them both surprised and delighted. Liao Yuhuang, who also possessed strong spiritual power, had a way to resist the pressure of the Lord of Silvermoon City.
"Kill!"
The lotus phenomenon behind Bai Shishi unfolded, transforming into a golden goddess, wielding a golden battle sword, and charged at the Lord of Silvermoon City.
At the same time, Young Master Changchuan, Qin Feng, Luo Xue, Luo Ning, Lu Mingxuan, and others all unleashed their full power. This time, without any suppression, they were instantly filled with confidence.
"Clang, clang, clang..." The sound of the zither echoed, and Bai Shishi and the others felt as if they had merged with heaven and earth, with all the power between heaven and earth under her control.
Only then did Bai Shishi and the others realize that Liao Yuhuang's qin music could actually trigger the Heavenly Dao, boosting their status and allowing them to unleash even greater power than usual.
"Boom boom boom...
With Liao Yuhuang joining, Bai Shishi and the others struck together, their attacks like a raging storm, instantly leaving the Lord of Silvermoon City flustered, shocked, and furious.
"Pfft...
Amidst the many attacks, Qin Feng risked his life and charged forward, using his arm guard to block the Silvermoon City Lord's strike. The long blade sliced across the lord's neck, blood splattering instantly, nearly severing his neck.
The Lord of Silvermoon City, furious to the heavens, roared as divine light erupted from his wooden staff. Bai Shishi and the others felt a raging wave crash down, sending them flying backward, feeling their bones shatter inch by inch, nearly fainting.
With a loud explosion, the Lord of Silvermoon City's wooden staff smashed onto Liao Yuhuang's guqin. The guqin shattered, and Liao Yuhuang's face instantly turned as pale as paper. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes glinting as he fell from the void.
"You little bitch, come here."
The Lord of Silvermoon City was furious, unleashing his full power without holding back. With a single blow, he shattered the guqin, his large hand spreading wide, aiming straight for Bai Shishi's jade-like neck to grab and strike.
