"Moon Bright Pond, please."
As Wu Pengfei finished speaking, he immediately flew towards the sky above the upper palace.
"Be careful," Yue Mingchi said solemnly after a serious look, and then his figure also appeared above the upper palace.
The two stood opposite each other, then both waved their large hands simultaneously. With their waves, a barrier instantly appeared around them. The vast barrier was as impenetrable as a bronze wall and an iron bastion.
The moment their sleeves fell, they moved quickly and collided squarely.
"Zhou Wenlun, shall we have some fun too?" Seeing that Yue Mingchi and Wu Pengfei had already started fighting, Zhan Tonghe of the Holy Sect showed no worry on his face, but looked at Zhou Wenlun with a smile and said.
Zhou Wenlun's expression did not change, nor did he speak. However, the step he took already indicated his choice.
At the same time, the other eight people from the Holy Sect also locked their gazes onto Fu Yaojin and others from the Profound Sect. The meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
Seeing this, Fu Yaojin and others stepped forward one by one. However, the number of people from the Profound Sect was one less than those they were facing.
After all, Jian Tianrui had not yet entered this Level 8 ruin, and Li Xuan had not joined the team since entering.
"Heh heh, your Profound Sect's Jian Tianrui has not appeared. It seems you cannot resolve the poison of the Thousand-Year Toad. If that is the case, I'm afraid your Profound Sect's action this time will be in vain."
Seeing that there was no Profound Sect's Holy Son to fight against Gongsun Li, Xia Ruman immediately chuckled, her voice full of charm. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably lose their minds with just one sentence from her.
"Do you think our Profound Sect is truly without anyone? Junior Brother Li Xuan, come here." Fu Yaojin frowned slightly upon hearing this, as if he disliked Xia Ruman very much. As soon as he spoke, he looked towards Li Xuan's position.
Li Xuan's heart stirred, and he instantly landed opposite Gongsun Li.
"Since you want to fight so badly, Li Xuan of the Profound Sect is here to learn." Li Xuan's expression was calm, and his gaze met Gongsun Li's directly.
"I didn't expect your Profound Sect to have a backup. If I guessed correctly, you are the one who killed Bai Luan and Zu Letian. Gongsun Li, leave this person to you." Xia Ruman only glanced at Li Xuan before shifting her gaze back to Fu Yaojin.
Clearly, Xia Ruman's target was Fu Yaojin.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Ruman. It's just a mere high-level Dao Integration realm disciple. Junior Brother will surely capture him with ease!" Gongsun Li nodded with a sinister grin. He obviously understood Xia Ruman's intention in mentioning that Li Xuan had killed Bai Luan and Zu Letian.
Besides cautioning him, it was also to eliminate Li Xuan, thereby reducing the punishment from the Great Elder.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Li's expression became even more sinister. He then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Kid, I will let you know what pain is later!"
"What a coincidence, my methods are also somewhat painful. I wonder who will be begging for mercy in the end." Li Xuan smiled slightly and instantly moved, flying directly into the sky. Then, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Gongsun Li.
"Arrogant kid, I hope you can still laugh later." Gongsun Li also flashed his figure, appearing opposite Li Xuan. His forced smile looked particularly stiff.
"I'm really curious, if you hadn't secretly poisoned and attacked when Tian Rui Senior Brother was fighting and couldn't concentrate, with your strength, you probably wouldn't have lasted more than one round against Tian Rui Senior Brother." Li Xuan said with another smile.
"Ignorant brat, there are three thousand ways of cultivation, each with its own merits. How could you, an ignorant brat, understand? Today, I will let you experience the power of my Thousand-Year Toad poison!"
Gongsun Li's face instantly showed anger at Li Xuan's words. The spiritual pressure emanating from him also surged.
Seeing this, Fu Yaojin and Xia Ruman, along with others, moved swiftly and flew into the sky.
In an instant, the Profound Sect and the Holy Sect teams were in their respective positions, and the battle was about to ignite in their locked gazes.
Boom!
With a roar, the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of both sides struck out. Twenty figures instantly crisscrossed and teleported away.
"Holy Son Wen Ming, although your Sword Asking Sect's strength is not weak, you will surely break your teeth if you try to snatch food from the gates of my Ghost Prison. So, it would be better to search the surroundings. Perhaps you will find some valuable treasures. This way, it will not be a wasted trip to the Yinglong Cave Heaven."
As the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Profound Sect and the Holy Sect engaged in battle, Gui Liyan's gaze fell upon Holy Son Wen Ming. There was a hint of disdain in his expression.
"Gui Liyan, although the Ghost Prison Sect is powerful, it is merely a latecomer. My Sword Asking Sect does not fear you. If you want my Sword Asking Sect to retreat, ask my Juque if it agrees!"
As soon as Holy Son Wen Ming finished speaking, the giant sword on his back instantly appeared in his hand, pointing directly at Gui Liyan.
"Since that's the case, let's decide the ownership of the palace after the outcome! I also want to see what is so unique about your Sword Asking Sect's swordsmanship!"
Seeing this, Gui Liyan knew that further words were futile. He nodded slightly at the eight figures in black robes behind him. Then, he moved and instantly flew towards the sky above the left palace.
Seeing this, Holy Son Wen Ming also nodded at the seven men carrying spiritual swords on their backs and quickly followed Gui Liyan's footsteps, appearing above the left palace.
Meanwhile, seeing this, Holy Maiden Yue Ji of the Ten Thousand Flower Palace looked at Hun Wudi and then smiled, "I suppose Brother Wudi will not easily give up this right palace. In that case, shall we spar?"
"In that case, thank you, Fairy Yue Ji. Fairy Yue Ji, please." Hun Wudi nodded slightly upon hearing this, then spread his left hand, appearing to be quite gentlemanly.
In an instant, the Profound Sect vs. the Holy Sect, the Ghost Prison Sect vs. the Sword Asking Sect, and the Ten Thousand Flower Palace vs. the Soul Sect all began their battles.
At this moment, the Holy Son level existences of the other factions, after a brief period of observation, all moved out directly, targeting the courtyards and pavilions outside the three palaces.
Although the three palaces had been divided among the six major forces, the treasures and opportunities within these buildings were not nonexistent. Therefore, a struggle was inevitable.
After all, this was a Level 8 ruin, and the treasures within were far more than a mere handful.
In an instant, various spiritual lights flashed, and the clashes of sneak attacks and counterattacks appeared everywhere.
The melee of the Holy Son level had officially begun!
