Chapter 197: Destruction of a Furnace
Translator: Mercurial Editor: DarkGem
More than half a day had passed since the people of Chaotian Sect started guarding the area in the Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain when they noticed that there were still no signs of movement from the Sungod Flame Killing Spell.
When one group finally went toward the center of the closed region, they were of the opinion that since the six chief disciples of Chaotian Sect had been personally operating the killing spell, then by now Li Yunmu should have been defeated.
Not to mention that the disciples also had the assistance of four Halted Fluxers. However, when the daring group of Chaotian Sect's core disciples reached the battle scene, they were all astonished.
"Not good, eldest brother Northern Black Wind and the others met with an accident…"
This day was destined to be the day when Chaotian Sect suffered its greatest loss.
"Hey, did you know? Some Halted Fluxer released the information from the Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain that Chaotian Sect failed to kill Li Yunmu."
"That couldn't be, I heard that Chaotian Sect's six chief disciples had gathered there, and they had also dispatched more than three hundred core disciples."
Many people just couldn't believe that such a force could lose.
Northern Black Wind, Flame Devil, Thousand kill Mo, Flowing Cloud were no ordinary people. They were famous existences in the Fifth Dimension who had access to the deep reserves of Chaotian Sect. Apart from Xiye Hanbei, there was no one who would dare to confront them.
These six weren't scattered over a huge area like the two thousand fluxers sent from the Central Continent, and they also weren't any ordinary elites. No one had any doubts regarding the future success of Chaotian Sect's endeavor to achieve its plans.
Like many people who heard the contradicting information, all the major powers who were paying attention to this matter and waiting for the news became silent after hearing it.
This silence remained unbroken for the whole afternoon, without Chaotian Sect disclosing any news about Li Yunmu having been killed.
Gradually, people started feeling that there was something strange.
"It is certain that Chaotian Sect was defeated by Li Yunmu and also had to pay a large price for its attempt. Their six chief disciples were dealt a deadly blow, and I also heard that Flowing Cloud was captured by Li Yunmu."
"Why though? She was strangely the only one captured. Although Li Yunmu could have taken the other five as well, he only picked Flowing Cloud and walked away."
"You dimwit, because Flowing Cloud is a stunning beauty! Her full name is Slender Flowing Cloud."
Finally some reliable information appeared, shocking the entire fluxer community.
Just how formidable was Li Yunmu exactly?
Could he have truly accomplished what Xiye Hanbei had said? Great increase in strength in short span of time?
When ordinary fluxers heard the news, they instantly became jealous. Flowing Cloud had been captured by Li Yunmu… What was he going to do with her? What was he thinking now?
"Li Yunmu is no longer at ordinary crystal layer but has entered the golden crystal layer."
As time went on, someone spread even more information.
Although Chaotian Sect had sealed the scene, many formidable people had infiltrated or perhaps made some inquiries about what truly happened there. Since Chaotian Sect had publicized the matter with a lot of fanfare, even if they wanted to conceal it now, they couldn't.
Golden crystal fluxer!
Everyone was stunned. In just a few days, he had advanced to the fourth layer from the first layer.
Naturally, although these details were shocking to ordinary fluxers, large organizations and clans were aware about the true reason behind Chaotian Sect's misfortune.
This was because Li Yunmu had learned Great Sun Secret Technique of in just a few days and had even cultivated it to the level of producing the true flames from the great circle of major threshold.
Due to this, many powers abandoned any thoughts they might have been harboring about finding trouble for Li Yunmu.
The strength he displayed this time touched upon the fear deeply concealed within their hearts. No one wanted to confront a Flux Sage, who would have a terrifying battle prowess, in the future.
Ordinary Flux Sage experts were terrifying, but the truly frightening ones were those who had displayed monstrous battle prowess from the time when they were Flux Disciples.
In fact, there were many lessons in history from which major powers could learn about the people who would cut through all obstacles in their path and whom no one could stop.
Xiye Hanbei was like this, Barbarian Continent's Man Tian was also like that, as well as Southern Continent's Ge Ya. Now it showed up that Li Yunmu was extremely close to becoming such an existence, too.
What was different in this case, though, was that all these people who couldn't be stopped and would cut through all obstacles in their path had usually displayed their dominance after attaining the silver crystal layer. Yet because of all sorts of reason, Li Yunmu had shocked the world much earlier compared to them.
Shortly after the news spread out, many powerful clans gathered their clansman and included a new name in the list of a scant few fluxers who shouldn't be provoked. This name they added was Li Yunmu.
That's actually what really happened!
A Flux Disciple youngster naturally didn't have the qualifications to make the large powers treat him with importance, but an extremely powerful Flux Disciple who couldn't be stopped was an exception.
It was because such a person's growth couldn't be suppressed.
Thus, since the person couldn't be stopped, they must never be provoked. It was just simple logic.
Instantly, everyone's attitude on the star network changed, and new fluxers who didn't know anything were left startled.
Everyone's tone of speech had instantly transformed, surprising all the ordinary fluxers who weren't aware of what had been discussed within the private meetings of major powers.
In just a few days, the people who had been questioning or even mocking Li Yunmu, even the ordinary fluxers, all understood that his had caused all the powers to change their attitude.
Chaotian Sect was an exception, though. Now it in its entirety viewed LI Yunmu as the greatest enemy who had to be killed before he matured.
This time, even Chaotian Sect's true upper echelon was also alarmed.
Li Yunmu, though, didn't really view Chaotian Sect as an existence that could do something to him. Since War God Temple's person had personally assured him that there was no threat to his family, Li Yunmu presently didn't have many worries.
Underworld Hand's group of four, under Lin Jian's instructions, advanced with the Soul Refining Technique and threw their soul imprint into the heavenly world, then were branded by Li Yunmu's imprint.
These four Halted Fluxers had quite formidable strength, otherwise why would Chaotian Sect had invited them to assist in their attack.
Now Li Yunmu had completely turned these four people into his followers, similarly to how he'd done with Li Qinghong and Lin Jian. Thus, he didn't lack people he could use.
Flowing Cloud, on the other hand, vowed to never betray Chaotian Sect and refused to undergo Soul Refining.
"Now that there aren't any outsiders present, tell me the real reason for bringing her with us."
Li Yunmu didn't care much about Flowing Cloud and turned to Li Qinghong.
"If I'm not mistaken, then Flowing Cloud is Chaotian Sect's new cultivation furnace."
Li Qinghong's one line stunned everyone.
