Chapter 1050: Alliance of Immortals

One wave hasn’t settled, another rises. Just as we’re still dealing with the demons from the Qin family, a group of Immortals arrives!

These Immortals come in like a storm, their celestial energy swirling everywhere. The soldiers of the Qin family are panicking; they’ve never seen so many Immortals at once—over a dozen, and a mixed troop at that!

There are different factions among the Immortals as well. Like the Hansheng Valley that Lin Nuo fought previously, it’s a gathering place for Immortal Beasts and their masters. Zifeng Valley is where Ruo’er cultivates, focusing mainly on healing, Immortal Arrays, and controlling Immortal Beasts with a variety of techniques.

Then there’s the Sword Tomb, home to the Sword Saints who focus solely on swordsmanship. They may be few in number, but they’re elite, mastering the art of the sword.

Additionally, there are factions dedicated to alchemy and weapon forging, along with a powerful faction known as Yuxianjing, specializing in devastating techniques with immense destructive power.

Now they’ve all come together, the united forces, to confront Lin Nuo.

Among the mixed group are the Immortals from Zifeng Valley, including Ruo’er’s mentor, Dong Xiyan.

Dong Xiyan has been reluctantly pulled into this alliance, especially since her disciple is an Immortal Fox, which can cause quite a stir, and she must account for that.

Yet, she doesn’t wish to fight against Lin Nuo and Ruo’er; she’s primarily here to verify Ruo’er’s safety.

The Qin army is wondering if they’ve grown powerful enough to catch the attention of these Immortals!

“General, what should we do…?”

“Quick! Retreat!”

The general leading the Qin army hurriedly orders a retreat; if they don’t run now, they’ll truly become cannon fodder.

However, these folks have long turned to darkness; the Immortals won’t let them escape so easily.

Suddenly, a bright sword of light flies from among the Immortals, hitting the leading general, sending him crashing to the ground in a grim spectacle.

Soon after, a heavy sword array encircles these demons, preventing any chance of escape.

Seeing this complex sword formation, Lin Nuo immediately recognized it as the style of the Sword Saint’s sect.

However, their techniques are rather repetitive; he could even replicate a few of their moves!

With their escape cut off, the demons panic, colliding into one another in a chaotic mess.

Perfect, take out a king and trap them a bit longer, and this group of demons will be in complete disarray!

“If you can turn from your wicked ways, we will not kill you. But if not, you will not be spared.”

One female Immortal warns the Qin soldiers sternly, causing them to tremble and kneel, all wanting to show they’ve turned over a new leaf.

They’re like weeds swaying in the wind, shifting sides depending on who’s stronger—survival is the priority.

“A bunch of insignificant minions, not worth worrying over.”

The voice belongs to Du Xuan from the Sword Tomb, a figure of some renown and leader of this Immortal coalition.

“The fleeing Immortal Foxes are right here. And a group of demon foxes to capture too—what a haul! Dong Xiyan, your disciple might be among them. I hope you’ll be the one to bring her back.”

Du Xuan says, leaving Dong Xiyan with mixed emotions.

If she runs into Ruo’er, is she friend or foe? It’s quite a dilemma.

“I have my own plans,” Dong Xiyan replies.

Now they need to approach Lin Nuo, but he hasn’t fled.

Why run? There’s no need to be afraid of these Immortals.

“So this is Lin Nuo? Accomplished for his age, but too bad he’s strayed from the right path,” Du Xuan remarks coldly, calling forth multiple sharp swords that swirl around him, displaying great momentum.

“You Immortal factions coming together, truly show me respect! But that’s all you can do—just watch, because I can do it too.”

With that, Lin Nuo unleashes his own array of sharp swords, the Dragon and Phoenix Swords separating, circling around him.

“Hmm?”

Everyone is shocked—this demon disciple can wield the techniques of the Sword Tomb?

“I didn’t expect you could. But it’s merely a superficial understanding; you haven’t grasped the essence yet.”

As he speaks, Du Xuan sends out spirit swords toward Lin Nuo. Lin Nuo doesn’t evade; instead he allows his own sharp swords to leap out and clash head-on with Du Xuan.

“Hmm? How could…?”

Du Xuan, having divided some of his spiritual energy to restrain the demons, finds himself unable to face Lin Nuo with full strength; his multiple sword intents crumble under Lin Nuo’s attack, and Lin Nuo’s swords come rushing straight for him.

Seeing this, the other Immortals realize something is wrong and all begin to cast spells, their combined power forming a grand Immortal array, rich and radiant with celestial energy.

“This Lin Nuo killed so many of my companions from the Hansheng Valley; today, his blood must pay for their deaths!”

The speaker is an Immortal from the Hansheng Valley, taking on the form of a tiger. Last time, when Lin Nuo went to the Hansheng Valley to search for Ruo’er, he knew the valley had driven her away, creating quite the ruckus.

But back then, the Immortals in the valley weren’t plentiful, most were still outside the valley.

In fury, he hurls a wave of Immortal energy projectiles at Lin Nuo, which pack quite a punch, causing explosions and a cloud of dust and debris.

Of course, Lin Nuo dodges effortlessly. While these projectiles are formidable, they threaten the Fox People in the mountains.

This Immortal Tiger keeps launching projectiles recklessly, but Lin Nuo can’t let it go unchecked; he’s got to take him out first.

Charge!

In an instant, he dashes toward the Immortal Tiger. Even though spells are thrown at him from all angles, Lin Nuo still breaks through.

“Wait! You’ll hurt the repentant demons and innocent people in the mountains!” Dong Xiyan quickly intervenes.

“You care about the lives of demons! No wonder your disciple turned against the Immortals!”

The Immortal Tiger roars angrily. With each wave of energy projectiles he throws at the Qin soldiers, they explode and take out a number of demons.

The formation of the Immortals is like a tightly-knit chain, and Lin Nuo is struggling to break through.

Quickly retreating to a safe distance, Lin Nuo conjures a massive black vortex, devouring the flying projectiles.

This Immortal Tiger specializes in explosive damage, and Lin Nuo consuming its projectiles is using up a lot of his Demon Soul Power.

Continuing like this isn’t viable; the opposition is well-stocked in support, output, and fortifications—a luxury lineup. He should ideally run and look for a chance to pick them off one by one.

But the Fox People are behind him; he can’t flee.

Might as well pop a fierce pill and wipe him out!

“What is this…? Good, your timing is perfect!”

Du Xuan grinned from ear to ear; another powerful Immortal had just arrived to bolster their forces!

“I can’t believe it, another tough one has shown up.”

Lin Nuo gritted his teeth; this wasn’t good as yet another tricky opponent had just entered the fray.

That person is none other than the Sword Saint!
