"This power... Forget our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect; even some of the larger Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty would find it a headache to deal with!"

Lin Xuankong heard this and couldn't help but frown.

That Flame Saber Duan River certainly rates me highly! To deal with someone like me, an Initial Tier cultivator at the tenth level, he actually incited over two hundred Earth Immortals and more than twenty Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals! The entire Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, even including all three Supreme Elders, only has six Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals! With such a show of force, if we don't have a countermeasure, they could probably flatten the entire Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!

Beside Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan's expression changed, the color draining from her beautiful face.

Over two hundred Earth Immortals, more than twenty Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals... Those are all Earth Immortals, not just over two hundred Transcendent Realm cultivators!

Her expression flickered as she looked at Lin Xuankong, anxiety and worry clouding her eyes.

The dozen or so Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples nearby were even more aghast, most of their faces turning deathly pale. In the past few days, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had been continuously mobilizing, setting up arrays around the sect and in Spiritual Crane Immortal City. As elite disciples, they had naturally heard some rumors, aware that the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect was apparently targeting the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! But they never could have imagined that the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect could muster such a vast number of Earth Immortals this time! Never mind over two hundred Earth Immortals; even if a single Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal managed to breach the Sect Protection Array, a mere wave of their hand towards them would be enough to obliterate them, turning them to dust and scattering their souls! Thinking of all this, how could they not be tense? How could they not be terrified?

Lin Xuankong, frowning deeply, looked at Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er. "So, Senior Medicine Immortal, are you troubled because the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect has gathered all these Earth Immortals?"

Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er's delicate eyebrows arched, and she said coldly, "So what if the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect has gathered over two hundred Earth Immortals? If they truly intend to trample my Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, that rabble will undoubtedly pay a terrible price!

"Hmph, two hundred Earth Immortals? At worst, it's a major battle; at worst, we all perish together. How could I, Qu Wan'Er, be troubled by that mob!"

She paused here and looked towards the location of Spirit Mountain, the seat of the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

"What vexes me," she continued, "is that Grand Elder Sui He and Sect Leader Li specially called me over today. They asked me to take some of our sect's most talented disciples and Initial Tier Earth Immortals, especially Tributor Mu and Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, to leave our sect's mountain gate early and find a hidden place to evade the crisis!"

Lin Xuankong's eyes flickered. Have Sect Leader Li and Grand Elder Sui He already started making arrangements for the worst? To have Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er take the elite disciples, including me and Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, and leave the sect early? So, even with the help of my six Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is extremely pessimistic about this battle, believing there's almost no chance of victory!

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xuankong looked at Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er. "Sect Leader Li and Grand Elder Sui He's arrangement must be a precaution, a way to be fully prepared. Senior Medicine Immortal, why let it anger you so?"

Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er's face was cold as she spoke, "I, Qu Wan'Er, joined the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect when I was young and was personally taught by Grand Elder Sui He. Only because of that did I achieve my current realm. For thousands of years, to continuously advance my Alchemy Technique, Grand Elder Sui He and Sect Leader Li expended countless resources of our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect on my behalf. Without their support, how could I have become a Third-Grade Earth Immortal, and how could I have mastered my Alchemy Techniques!

"Now, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect faces a crisis. It is a time for everyone in the sect, from top to bottom, to unite and confront the enemy together.

"I, Qu Wan'Er, wish I could immediately lead some of our sect's disciples to fight with abandon! How could I take people and flee beforehand? This assignment truly vexes me!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong finally understood.

This Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er always wears such a cold expression, as if everyone owes her a huge debt! But from what she just said, if she truly means what she says, then this Young Lady's master is indeed a person of integrity, not some ungrateful, life-clinging coward!

Thinking this, he looked at Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er with a new touch of respect in his eyes and said, "Senior Medicine Immortal, Mu Shiba deeply admires such heroic spirit!

"However, regarding your vexation, Senior Medicine Immortal, Mu Shiba cannot resolve it. After all, that is the arrangement of Sect Leader Li and the Supreme Elders.

"Although I am a Tributor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, I only joined a few days ago and possess a mere Initial Tier tenth-level cultivation. My status is low and my words carry little weight; I'm afraid I'm powerless to change the decision of Sect Leader Li and the Supreme Elders!

"The only thing Mu Shiba can do, perhaps, is to remain with the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and fight alongside our fellow Daoists of the sect against this offensive by the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect!"

Lin Xuankong had already made thorough preparations for this crisis over the past few days.

He thought to himself: I came to the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region seeking the Immortal Techniques of an Immortal Sect. I aspire to the realm and long lifespan of an Immortal, and even more, I pursue an environment where I can cultivate in peace! I haven't been in Spiritual Crane Immortal City for long, yet I've already run into vile characters like Second Prince Chang Li and Flame Saber Duan River. These two scoundrels have schemed relentlessly, intending to control both me and Young Lady Lii Xiaolan. For their machinations alone, I must eliminate these two, root and stem!
