Divine Transcendence

Chapter 189: Dawn’s Mission

"Who cares who he is? I have something important to do now. Why are you still here? I’ll leave first, and I might contact you later." Sure enough, Xiying transmitted his voice again.

"Where are you going? Be careful," Yuan Ming said softly without asking too much.

Xiying didn’t reply anymore, he should have already left.

Yuan Ming continued to follow the others, but his mind was calculating.

Xiying seemed so happy about the attack on the Biro Cave, he must be trying to take advantage of the situation.

He didn’t have much attachment to the Biro Cave. If the situation was not right, he wouldn’t foolishly stay and face the destruction of the Biro Cave. He must find an opportunity to escape.

There was not much spiritual power left in the Earth Travel Talisman, but it should still be able to activate it once, allowing him to escape a considerable distance underground and avoid this disaster.

As for the threat from the Great Cave Master just now, Yuan Ming didn’t take it to heart. Not to mention that once a big battle started, the Great Cave Master would be too busy dealing with the Foundation Establishment stage experts on the other side to pay attention to them, a group of Qi Refining stage cultivators. Even if he used his identity as a named disciple and his usual low-key style, there were probably not many people around who would recognize him.

Yuan Ming looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him. He raised his hand to his forehead, pretending to wipe away sweat.

Two soul crows shot out from his brow and slipped into his sleeve, disappearing into the ground along his pants.

Yuan Ming continued to move forward and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Two black crows flew out of the nearby jungle one after another, silently heading in different directions.

...

The Great Cave Master flew through the air, much faster than Yuan Ming and the others who were walking. In no time, he arrived at the entrance of the Biro Cave.

At this time, the stone forest at the entrance of the cave had been completely destroyed, and most of the disciples guarding the mountain gate had been killed. The ground at the mountain gate was almost dyed red, with scattered limbs and corpses.

The Great Cave Master’s eyes were filled with anger, but when he saw the sunrise pattern on the black-clothed people, his expression changed slightly. "The Dawn Scattering Alliance!"

Seeing the appearance of the Great Cave Master, several black-clothed people who were already bloodthirsty didn’t know any better and immediately attacked with their magical weapons.

"No!" someone in the crowd hurriedly shouted, but it was too late.

The Great Cave Master’s eyes flashed with cold light as he quickly formed hand seals.

Dozens of thick purple thunderbolts shot out, and the area within a dozen or so zhang was instantly filled with brilliant lightning, with one lightning strike hitting the black-clothed person at the front.

How could these Qi Refining stage cultivators withstand the attack of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator? Their bodies immediately burst open.

Crackling sounds filled the surroundings!

In an instant, seven or eight people were killed, and the remaining black-clothed people realized that something was wrong and began to retreat. However, more than ten people were directly struck dead by the swift and agile purple lightning.

"The Great Cave Master is here!" the remaining disciples guarding the mountain gate rejoiced.

The Great Cave Master didn’t say a word, and once again formed hand seals with both hands, and dozens of lightning bolts poured down.

At this moment, a blood-colored blade light as swift as a galloping horse swept through the front forest, cutting through the purple lightning with incredible speed, several times faster than a falling thunderbolt.

All the lightning was cut in half and dissipated into countless electric arcs in the void.

The blood-colored blade light flew back and fell into a sturdy palm, revealing a blood-red battle axe, with red patterns flickering on its surface.

The owner of the sturdy palm was a blood-robed man, eight feet tall, with shoulder-length red hair and dark red eyes. He exuded a terrifying aura from head to toe.

"Blood Battle, it’s you! Why are you selling your life for the Dawn Scattering Alliance?" The Great Cave Master recognized the person’s appearance and frowned.

"I am now the Vice Leader of the Southern Branch of the Dawn Scattering Alliance. It is only natural for me to protect my subordinates. Isn’t it?" The blood-robed man chuckled strangely.

"You joined the Dawn Scattering Alliance!" The Great Cave Master seemed surprised.

"Yes, I was invited by Leader Ougi not long ago and just joined." The blood-robed man laughed.

"The Dawn Scattering Alliance launched a major attack on our Biro Cave today. Who exactly gave the order? It’s really a big move!" The Great Cave Master’s pupils contracted, and he asked coldly.

"I don’t know about that. The task I received was just to stop you, Mao Dao-you." The blood-robed man licked his lips and said.

The disciples of the Biro Cave at the mountain gate were already at a disadvantage. It was only when the Great Cave Master arrived in time and took action that they were able to catch their breath.

Now that the Great Cave Master was entangled by the sudden appearance of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator Blood Battle, the remaining dozen or so disciples were once again trapped, and two more people died in an instant.

Facing enemies several times their number, these dozen or so people who persisted until now were all at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Refining stage. The Great Cave Master frowned slightly, and lightning flashed between his hands once again.

"Mao Dao-you, if you continue to take action, we will have to fight again today. If you and these disciples stay still and behave, we can also stand aside. How about it?" The blood-robed man blocked in front of the Great Cave Master, and the giant axe in his hand emitted a bloody light."Blood Battle, you really know how to tell jokes! You invaded my Biro Cave, and as the head of the Biro Cave, if I don’t fight back, wouldn’t it make the entire Southern Territory of the cultivation world laugh? If you want to fight, then fight without wasting words!" The Cave Master snorted, his hands surging with lightning, preparing to launch an attack.

The man in the blood robe in front of him was named Blood Battle, a well-known Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in the Southern Territory. He was usually unruly and bloodthirsty, only seeking instant gratification through killing. Once he unleashed his true power, he would fight to the death. Therefore, few dared to provoke him.

He had fought against Blood Battle before, and although his cultivation level was one small realm higher, the opponent fought recklessly. Every time he had the chance to severely injure the opponent, the opponent would not retreat but instead advance, making it seem like he was willing to exchange lives. This gave him a headache.

Now that the opponent had appeared again, he was truly a difficult character to deal with.

Blood Battle laughed heartily, holding a large axe in his hand, his whole body filled with surging blood energy, ready to strike.

The confrontation between the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in mid-air was about to begin. Even with the support of the restrictions, the dozen or so disciples guarding the Biro Cave were still isolated and helpless. In an instant, several of them perished, and it seemed like they were about to be completely annihilated.

At this critical moment, four or five red flames flew from the front mountain gate, emitting a piercing screech, and exploded like meteors in the crowd of black-clothed attackers surrounding the disciples of the Biro Cave.

Many black-clothed individuals were blown away, and quite a few were swallowed by the sea of fire, screaming in agony.

"Attack together and let these insignificant people stay here forever!"

A giant red spiritual bird, several zhang long, flew out from the Biro Cave. The red flames were precisely what it spewed out. Standing on the back of the spiritual bird was an elder from the Beast Taming Hall, Meng Shan.

Following closely behind Meng Shan were several flying spiritual beasts, flying over with all their might. On their backs were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

And behind these elders, more and more disciples from the Biro Cave surged forward like a tide.

The reinforcements from the Biro Cave had finally arrived!

The army of black-clothed individuals had been fighting for a while and inevitably showed signs of fatigue. However, the people from the Biro Cave were all fresh troops, with nearly thirty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators among them, far outnumbering the Foundation Establishment cultivators among the black-clothed individuals. They immediately gained the upper hand.

The army of black-clothed individuals kept retreating under the onslaught and were soon driven outside the mountain gate.

The Cave Master continued to face off against Blood Battle, and upon seeing this scene, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, figures flickered in the forest outside the sect, and a large group of black-clothed individuals flew out, including several high-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

"Do not act rashly, everyone come back!" The Cave Master saw this scene and hurriedly shouted.

Including Elder Meng Shan, all the disciples from the Biro Cave stopped in their tracks and formed a defensive formation under the lead of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Yuan Ming had already retreated to a corner of the crowd, looking at the densely packed black-clothed individuals in front, feeling a sense of foreboding.

There were so many enemies, and he didn’t know where they came from. Such a large-scale gathering of cultivators, he didn’t know how the other party managed to remain completely silent beforehand. It seemed that they had to be careful in the upcoming battle.

"Brother above, please move aside a bit." A voice came from under his feet.

Yuan Ming was startled and quickly took two steps back.

The ground rumbled and broke open, revealing a figure covered in dust.

"Brother Wu Lu, is that you? What are you doing here?" Yuan Ming looked closely at the person and couldn’t help but be surprised.

The person who emerged from underground was indeed Wu Lu.

People nearby noticed the commotion here and saw a disciple of the Biro Cave emerging from the ground. Contempt flashed in their eyes.

"Brother Yuan Ming? I apologize for the inconvenience. I was on duty guarding the mountain gate when the enemy launched a massive attack. In a moment of desperation, I had to use the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground and escape. I’m ashamed." Wu Lu brushed off the dirt on his body and self-deprecatingly explained.

"No need to apologize. If Brother Yuan Ming and I were in each other’s shoes, we would have made the same choice." Yuan Ming said calmly.

Wu Lu nodded gratefully, took out a pill and swallowed it, then looked towards the army of black-clothed individuals across from them.

"Do you know who these black-clothed individuals are, Brother Wu Lu?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Don’t you recognize the emblem of the Dawn Alliance? These people are from the Dawn Alliance." Wu Lu whispered.

Yuan Ming was shocked and looked at the crowd of people across from them in astonishment.

"The Dawn Alliance is a legendary alliance in the Southern Territory. It’s not accurate to call it a local alliance of the Southern Territory. The influence of the Dawn Alliance extends throughout the Southern Territory, the Central Plains, and many other places. If we’re talking about strength, the Biro Cave can’t compare at all. These black-clothed individuals should be members of the Southern Territory branch of the Dawn Alliance." Wu Lu explained, thinking that Yuan Ming had never heard of the name Dawn before.

"Do the Dawn Alliance and our Biro Cave have any grudges? Or were they commissioned by someone else?" Yuan Ming regained his composure and asked.

"I don’t know about that. The Dawn Alliance acts without scruples. As long as they are given enough compensation, they dare to take on any task. This attack should have been orchestrated by someone else, and they came prepared." Wu Lu’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice.The Great Cave Master looked at the members of the Dawn Alliance, his face gloomy, and slowly asked, "My Bi Luo Cave has always kept to its own affairs without interfering with your Dawn Alliance. Blood Battle, I ask you again, why did you lead an attack on the mountain gate of Bi Luo Cave today?"

"I’ve said it before, today’s actions of the Dawn Alliance were not instigated by me. You’re asking the wrong person," Blood Battle casually slung his battle axe over his shoulder and replied.

Just as the Great Cave Master was about to say something else, he suddenly looked towards a certain direction in front.

A dark cloud flew rapidly from the front and landed a dozen or so feet away in the blink of an eye, emitting a muffled thunder-like rumble from within.

A deep voice sounded from within the cloud, "Hehe, my friend Mao Li Hong, it’s been many years. You’re as impressive as ever, truly a cause for celebration!"

"Ou Ji!" The Great Cave Master’s pupils contracted.
