#272 - Chapter 272 The Chess Piece Sending Him to Die

Atop a massive, dark red volcano.

Countless flames flickered, igniting even the air, making it intensely hot.

Rumble, rumble~

In the sky, countless black lightning bolts tore through the void, emitting deafening roars.

At this moment, the Ghost Shadow Clan, the Giant Rock Clan, and the Wood Clan, the three strongest immortal clans in the Immortal Path, had gathered here for a meeting.

All three clans had Xuan Immortals overseeing them.

They were the overlord clans of the Immortal Path.

All the Sin Clans had to live depending on their whims.

"What's going on?"

"For millions of years, only one Ascendant would enter the Immortal Path."

"Why have thousands of Ascendants suddenly appeared now?"

"What exactly happened in the Human Realm?"

The Ghost Shadow Clan Leader asked, filled with doubt.

This completely overturned his understanding.

He was also one of the three great Xuan Immortals of the Immortal Path.

"Who the hell knows what happened, how so many Ascendants suddenly appeared."

"However, these Ascendants are incredibly audacious, actually launching an attack on us and slaughtering countless Sin Clans."

"Utterly detestable."

The Giant Rock Clan Leader clenched his massive fist, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Never had they seen such arrogant Ascendants.

"We can't let them continue like this, the three clans should join forces to kill them."

"With so many Ascendants, as long as we take their heads, we can definitely exchange them for enough points to return to the Immortal Realm."

The Wood Clan Leader, an incredibly aged white-haired old man, revealed a strange smile.

They had long known about the Ascendants slaughtering the Sin Clans.

However, they all chose to turn a blind eye.

The reason was simple: to prevent other Sin Clans from competing with them for the Ascendants' heads.

Now that countless Sin Clans had died, it was time for them to take action.

As long as they captured this group of Ascendants, the three clans could clear their names and return to the Immortal Realm; it wasn't just a dream.

"Alright, it's time to take action against these Ascendants; they really think there's no one in the Immortal Path who can stand against them?"

The Ghost Shadow Clan Leader and the Giant Rock Clan Leader laughed heartily.

They were also very excited.

After all, they would soon be able to return to the Immortal Realm.

To leave this hellish Immortal Path.

Just then, above the peak of the volcano, a figure emerged from the myriad lightning bolts.

"It's… it's the Envoy Lord from the Immortal Realm."

"Greetings, Envoy Lord!"

The expressions of the three clans' immortals changed, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Rise," the red-faced immortal said indifferently.

"The Immortal Realm already knows about the large number of Ascendants slaughtering the Immortal Path."

"I was specifically ordered to bring something to help you kill the Ascendants."

With that, the red-faced immortal tossed a divine light-encircled, overwhelmingly powerful immortal sword in front of the three clan leaders.

Upon seeing it, the three clan leaders' expressions drastically changed, feeling as if their souls were about to be torn apart.

"This… this is an Immortal King Weapon!"

"Heavens, it's actually an Immortal King Weapon."

They were completely shocked.

One must know that even a top-grade immortal artifact was a supreme treasure to them.

Let alone an Immortal King Weapon.

An Immortal King Weapon, as the name suggests, was an immortal artifact that only Immortal Kings were qualified to use.

Just like how Great Emperors used Emperor weapons.

This was no less than a Saint in the Human Realm who had just entered the Saint Realm obtaining an Emperor weapon, the impact was just as great.

"You can't use an Immortal King Weapon with your realms."

"However, the big shots of my Undying Immortal Palace have already used their methods; the three of you working together can unleash the power of the Immortal King Weapon."

"Killing the Ascendants will be a piece of cake."

The red-faced immortal said calmly.

"Thank you for the Undying Immortal Palace and Envoy Lord's grace; our three clans are endlessly grateful."

The three clans' immortals knelt on the ground piously to express their gratitude.

They were filled with gratitude for the Undying Immortal Palace's grace.

With the Immortal King Weapon, they had a 100% certainty of dealing with those Ascendants.

"Mm," the red-faced immortal nodded, "Go and wipe out those Ascendants."

"The headquarters of those Ascendants is in Qin City."

"The three clans' allied forces can directly go to Qin City."

"The Immortal Realm will not allow any more lowly ants from the lower realms to enter."

"Kill them all, and the three of you can return to the Immortal Realm."

The red-faced immortal directly drew a big cake.

"Yes, Envoy Lord."

The three clan leaders took the Immortal King Weapon and led their respective clans' immortals, excitedly and eagerly, to Qin City.

"These ignorant fools don't even know how terrifying these Ascendants are, yet they excitedly run to their deaths."

"Good, if you fools don't go to your deaths, how can Jiang Ning take the bait?"

Looking at the departing immortals of the three clans, a cold smile appeared on the corner of the red-faced immortal's mouth.

After completing his mission, he also disappeared from the spot and returned to the Immortal Realm.

…

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, the immortals of the Ghost Shadow Clan, Wood Clan, and Giant Rock Clan are heading towards Qin City."

At this time, Fairy Peacock knelt before Jiang Ning and reported the military situation to him.

Fairy Peacock was the leader of the Great Xia Heavenly Court's intelligence organization, 'Dark Arrow'.

White Fox King Bai Ling became her deputy.

"It's good that they're coming, saving me the trouble of having to go up there myself."

"Wipe them all out in one fell swoop, saving time and effort."

Jiang Ning smiled, not caring at all.

His eyes didn't put the three clans in his sight at all.

Now, having comprehended more than a thousand Immortal Dao laws.

His strength had risen to an extremely terrifying degree.

At least, facing Bei Gongyu again, he wouldn't need to cheat at all.

He could kill him in one move.

Not to mention, the three clan leaders were just ordinary Xuan Immortals.

Compared to geniuses like Bei Gongyu, the gap in strength was enormous.

"Your Majesty, do we need to recall the four armies?" Fairy Peacock asked.

"No need," Jiang Ning shook his head, "Let them continue to scour the Immortal Path, not letting go of a single living being."

"I will remove all obstacles that prevent the ascension of living beings in my Human Realm, leaving none behind."

Jiang Ning's voice was full of dominance and coldness.

Now that his strength had increased so much, it was time to show it off.

…

Rumble~

Above Qin City, lightning suddenly flashed and thunder rumbled.

A violent wind rose, and the world changed color.

Countless immortal figures appeared, and a terrifying pressure, like a tsunami, surged towards Qin City.

The city walls crumbled inch by inch under this powerful pressure.

Three Xuan Immortals from the three clans, nearly a hundred Heavenly Immortals, and more than three thousand True Immortals, marched mightily towards Qin City.

"Ascendants, come out and die!"

"Ascendants, come out and die!"

The rolling shouts of killing shook the clouds.

The three clan leaders stood proudly in the void, overlooking Qin City.

With the Immortal King Weapon in hand, they were full of confidence.

Spirited and smiling.

Just then, a figure flew out of Qin City.

White robes fluttering, majestic and peerless, handsome and unparalleled.

This was a god-like, heaven-defying young man.

He faced the three clans' army alone with his sword, without fear.

Stepping on the void, calm and relaxed.

This left the three clans' immortals collectively dumbfounded.
