Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 657 - 292: Sword Annihilates Feather Transformation (2)

It looked like Feng Feiyu and his companions thought seven Integration Realm experts would do the job.

So, the group started moving forward once more.

During the journey, a blend of terror and faint thrill stirred in everyone's hearts.

With the two Integration Realm experts from the Feather Transformation Upper Sect now dead, that sect lacked the power to resist them anymore, making the conquest of the Feather Transformation Upper Sect an absolute certainty.

This whole success owed itself to the unbeatable presence leading the way; all eyes fixed on his figure from behind, viewing him like a deity.

Members of the Infinite Sword Sect had grown used to it, already well aware of their Sect Leader Senior Brother's awe-inspiring prowess.

The Niu Mo Upper Sect demons, on the other hand, encountered Ning Qi's horrifying strength for the very first time. Shock and reverence filled them, along with deep thanks that their ancestor had forged ties with such a remarkable genius.

...

Inside the Feather Transformation Upper Sect.

Sect Leader Fang Xiandao wandered anxiously to and fro in the grand hall.

The rage over his youngest son's killing by the Niu Mo Upper Sect plagued his mind relentlessly, day after day.

He'd poured out all his resources to convince the sect's two ancestors to call on the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect from the nearby Fuyao Realm, vowing to wipe out the Niu Mo Upper Sect and slash down the Infinite Sword Sect to satisfy his fury.

Right now, the folks from Niu Mo Upper Sect and Infinite Sword Sect ought to be rotting in the Underworld, correct?

Yet, when the Great Power watching the soul lamps burst into the main hall in alarm, a wave of fear hit Fang Xiandao hard.

The previous time he sent Feather Transformation Upper Sect forces to clash with the Infinite Sword Sect in the Beixuan Domain, a panic just like this had erupted. Was it happening again...?

As expected, the Great Power stuttered, struggling with his words:

"Sect... Sect Leader, it's... it's terrible, the soul lamps of the two ancestors... they've gone out!"

Hearing that, Fang Xiandao staggered like thunder had struck him down. His frame trembled, almost collapsing.

"What?"

That single word escaped him before he dashed toward the soul hall in the sect.

When he laid eyes on the two ancestors' soul lamps with their life flames snuffed out, Fang Xiandao's expression drained to a deathly pallor, as though his spirit had fled.

"It's done for—the Feather Transformation Upper Sect is doomed!"

The Great Power next to him wore a face of pure dread too, but he moved to steady Fang Xiandao while urging:

"Sect Leader, steady yourself. The ancestors are gone, but we're still alive. If we don't gear up for the fight right, the rest of the sect's people..."

Fang Xiandao clenched his jaw, snapping back to reality at last.

He commanded, "Switch on the Sect Protection Array right away, unlock the treasury, hand out every resource to the members for pouring into the Sect Protection Array. The Feather Transformation Upper Sect's fate in this disaster hangs on this all-or-nothing bet!"

The Great Power nodded swiftly and departed to carry it out.

Fang Xiandao cast another look at the soul lamps, his gaze brimming with boundless remorse.

If he'd only curbed his drive to push the Feather Transformation Upper Sect into the Beixuan Domain, this nightmare wouldn't have unfolded.

His initial plan held no flaw, though; the Spirit Realm war loomed near. Lacking proper readiness, diving into the Spirit Realm war would spell grave peril too.

Still, Fang Xiandao never imagined their Feather Transformation Upper Sect could face destruction before that looming Spirit Realm war even began.

Fang Xiandao pulled out a Communication Jade Scroll and fired off a note to the Celestial Star Upper Sect, detailing how the Niu Mo Upper Sect and Infinite Sword Sect's growth threatened the Celestial Star Upper Sect in countless ways.

Next, he dispatched a message to the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect in the Fuyao Realm.

Since the two ancestors dropped dead in an instant, the four they'd dispatched must have perished as well.

Once the messages went out, Fang Xiandao bolted from the soul hall and frantically guided the leftover members to keep reinforcing the Sect Protection Array.

They had to make it unbreakable as fast as they could!

As moments ticked by, thanks to the sect members' frantic efforts, the Sect Protection Array grew more solid, and a sliver of calm returned to Fang Xiandao's chest.

But when he checked the Communication Jade Scroll, no replies had come to either message, plunging his briefly eased spirits back into despair.

The Celestial Star Upper Sect's silence came as no shock—they thrived on letting others bleed while they scooped up the gains.

Why, then, had the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect in the Fuyao Realm stayed quiet?

They'd lost four Integration Realm powerhouses—surely an immortal sect like theirs had the clout to strike back and restore their honor?

As anxiety gnawed at Fang Xiandao, figures emerged beyond the Feather Transformation Upper Sect's barriers.

He peered out at once, and there they were: the Niu Mo Upper Sect demons and Infinite Sword Sect cultivators.

Fang Xiandao swept his gaze over the group, tallying the powerhouses among them. Shockingly, not a single one seemed missing!

The only no-show was Hundred Colors True Monarch, their planted insider.

But how could that be?

Did six Integration Realm experts—no, seven counting Hundred Colors True Monarch—fail to take down even one from the two sects and get wiped out instead?

Fang Xiandao refused to accept such an outcome!

Facing a Unity Realm elder, seven of them united could at least stall for time, or better yet, break free with solid odds.

Or perhaps the seven never swung at the two sects and fell to the Niu Mo Upper Sect and Infinite Sword Sect forces?

If that held true, it fit the pieces, but the implications would chill to the bone!

Fang Xiandao shouted, "Niu Dingtian, Ning Qi, what drives your two sects to invade my Feather Transformation Upper Sect?"

Niu Dingtian shot a look at Ning Qi.

Back when Ning Qi erased the six Integration Realm experts, both sects had clamped down with orders to keep it secret, forcing everyone into a Heavenly Path Oath.

It was just too staggering!

No outsiders had seen it then—not even Feng Feiyu and his group could spare a moment to transmit word.
