Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2278: 160: Rescue

A few cultivators who had arrived to provide reinforcements nodded in quiet agreement after hearing those words.

Although they had come with the understanding that the fall of one power would jeopardize them all, they remained reluctant to sacrifice themselves for a Sect that viewed the lives of its allies with indifference.

Listening to Sect Leader Bai of the Cloud Sky Sect—a figure second only to True Man Gai in prestige—their anxieties were significantly eased.

Naturally, a group of seventeen Tribulation-Transcending cultivators, including two at the middle-stage, represented a formidable force that no one could overlook.

Sect Leader Bai wasted no time. His eyes shifted toward the assembly as he commanded with a stern voice:

"Zhong Qi, since Bokai is not here, take a team and move to provide rescue immediately. Do not delay, or the situation will change!"

"As you command!"

From within the crowd, a middle-aged man possessing a face as refined as jade and wearing a Water Blue Auspicious Cloud Robe bowed, preparing to depart.

However, at that very moment, a cultivator let out a cry of alarm:

"This is bad! Disaster has already struck!"

The gathered cultivators were jolted by the shout, their gazes simultaneously snapping toward the water curtain.

Displayed upon the water curtain were two brilliant explosions, the light of which dimly revealed the intersecting black and white walls of rules!

The sight of these walls of rules caused many in the audience to look on with heavy hearts and growing dread.

As more than ten monk-like figures materialized rapidly from the void, whispers of panic began to ripple through the crowd:

"An ambush! There were so many of them hidden there!"

"Four Bodhisattvas and eleven Arhats... the situation is dire!"

Witnessing this, Sect Leader Bai’s expression darkened as he barked out a low order:

"Zhong Qi!"

"Master, do not fret. I am departing this instant!"

Wearing a grave expression, Chen Zhongqi, the man in the Water Blue Cloud Robe, prepared to fly out.

Just as he was about to launch himself forward, he heard a chorus of voices filled with sheer bewilderment, shock, and sudden joy.

Stunned, Chen Zhongqi paused and turned his head. His eyes narrowed instinctively as he witnessed an incredible sight unfolding on the water curtain.

A figure in a green robe, who had previously seemed entirely unremarkable, was now moving with the grace of a green dragon, flickering between two points. With a casual wave of his hand, he suppressed ten Arhats. He then crossed the void, utilizing a series of brilliant techniques to repel three Bodhisattvas in an instant, successfully rescuing all his fellow cultivators!

The sequence occurred with the speed of a lightning bolt, nearly impossible to track for the untrained eye. However, those present were all at the Tribulation-Transcending realm. They watched with such intense focus that a deathly silence fell over the area; one could have heard a needle hit the ground.

Chen Zhongqi was visibly shaken by the display:

"Could those be... techniques from the Canlong Realm?"

"Is it possible this man is a personal disciple from the Canlong Realm?"

The green-robed cultivator had unleashed many spells, but the most distinct were clearly derived from the Canlong Realm. He seemed to have harnessed the rules embedded within the bloodlines of innate divine beasts, manifesting them through his own body with immense power and endless variety.

But hadn't the Canlong Realm already been...

With that thought, he glanced at the Sect Leader. He found the Sect Leader’s face composed, yet his eyes betrayed a flicker of astonishment, suspicion, and intrigue.

His mind raced, but he did not dare linger. He quickly sent out a spiritual message to gather the Cloud Sky Sect cultivators. Soon, seven or eight figures tore through the domain alongside him, racing toward the sea whirlpool region.

Back at the gathering, the cultivators finally broke out of their stupor, erupting into a wave of cheers!

"Magnificent!"

"What a formidable Taoist! Among the many middle-stage Tribulation-Transcending experts in these seas, he must surely rank among the very best!"

"Who is this master? How have I never heard his name before?"

"To slay Arhats and Bodhisattvas in a flash, and to hold his own against ten Arhats and three Great Bodhisattvas alone... a man of such caliber cannot be a nobody. Do any of you recognize his identity?"

They looked at one another, but everyone remained lost in confusion and disbelief.

"Wait, look! The followers of the Supreme True Buddha have arrived already!?"

A cultivator shouted out in desperation.

The crowd looked closely and saw more than a dozen figures shrouded in thick Demonic Qi closing in on the green-robed cultivator!

"It is the six Taoist Masters of the Reincarnation Six Paths!"

"And the Demon Slaves serving the Lord of Six Paths!"

"They must have been patrolling nearby and stumbled upon the battle," someone guessed.

The mood grew significantly more somber.

Most of the cultivators present, despite being in the Tribulation-Transcending realm, were only at the early-stage. They would feel immense pressure facing even a single powerful Arhat, let alone a Bodhisattva or Taoist Master. Seeing the green-robed Taoist surrounded, they imagined themselves in his position and felt as though they were staring at certain death.

Sect Leader Bai’s gaze turned heavier as he watched Chen Zhongqi and the others depart the Cloud Sky Realm, his heart filled with a sense of foreboding.

...

At the Realm Sea Whirlpool.

'Is the Western Great Bodhisattva planning to send more infiltrators into the Sea of Chaos Realm?'

Wang Ba’s heart skipped a beat.

Thoughts raced through his mind at high speed.

If his Junior Brother was correct and the Supreme True Buddha’s forces sent an Arhat into the Realm, they would immediately detect the massive shifts within the Sea of Chaos Realm. This would expose the threat posed by the local forces and bring the Little Cang World to their attention.

Once that Arhat returned to the Realm Sea to report back to the Great Bodhisattva, the consequences would be obvious.

'Why have they returned so soon? Isn't it usually every five thousand years?' Wang Ba wondered silently.

Sensing his confusion, Shen Fu quickly sent a spiritual transmission:

"Senior Brother, you took away the individuals who were meant to be replaced for Cultivation. This created a void in their future staffing. Furthermore, there have been major disturbances in the Sea of Chaos Realm, so the Great Bodhisattva decided to act early to secure a new batch of people..."
