Chapter 254 160, Is this going to be a bloodbath?
```
"What happened here?"
Master Qian was greatly alarmed.
"Could it be that Tan Shuchang? But why haven't Master Lin and the two junior brothers reestablished Sword Disciple Mountain? Although the Immortal Sect here is of no use to us, without this location's coordinates, it's inconvenient for our fellow sect members to descend. Could it be for that chance to become an Immortal..." Master Qian couldn't help but think this way.
After all, everyone has their own desires. And face to face with an opportunity that could make one an Immortal, no one can guarantee they won't be tempted.
Just then, his fellow sect members from the Land of the Four Pillars called out to him again.
So, Master Qian hurriedly shared his findings because his true body had not yet fully emerged from his shadow.
After he related this information, he also realized something was amiss, mainly that he could barely remember anything about Tan Shuchang at this moment.
Especially the memories after his defeat were completely blank.
"So, how exactly did I escape from his clutches?"
Although he had previously looked down on Tan Shuchang, after being defeated by him and even being forced to resort to Immortal possession, Master Qian naturally lost his previous contemptuous attitude.
...
Meanwhile, a similar scene unfolded at the Supreme Clear Sect and Western Tuo Mountain.
The young Taoist and monk there were also released by Tan Shuchang.
And like Master Qian, they too found that a portion of their memories had inexplicably vanished, beyond recall.
If Master Qian could see the condition of the young Taoist and monk, he would immediately understand that he had been affected by a kind of miraculous method from an incomplete Immortal technique they found at a site where an Immortal had perished.
They had spent three hundred years trying to repair the incomplete Immortal technique and although they hadn't succeeded, they had obtained this peculiar method.
Unfortunately, this method was very difficult to master.
Of the entire Sword Disciple Mountain in the Land of the Four Pillars, only two had barely managed to grasp the basics after hundreds of years of practice.
Now, the Ancestors of the Supreme Clear Sect and Western Tuo Mountain, because they had lost the memory of their last defeat at the hands of Tan Shuchang, also lacked the images of the three Ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain being grievously injured by Tan Shuchang's Star Fate Divine Skill. Thus, all they remembered was the appearance of the three Ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain, after which they fled in panic.
Therefore, at their first contact with the Land of the Four Pillars, these two asked for help.
And they claimed it was the three individuals from Sword Disciple Mountain who had injured them.
After all, they could not have been injured without reason, and the memories before the injury only had the scene of the three Ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain making an appearance, so it must have been these three who had attacked them!
As for Tan Shuchang, he was just a clown from the Mortal Realm—how could he have the capacity to injure them?
...
Land of the Four Pillars.
Their words were filled with a condescending attitude.
After all, if it weren't for the Jiawu Realm's nurturing of a new divine opportunity that could help three-proofed cultivators step into the realm of Righteous True Immortals of Earthly Slaughter, how many of them would have thought of returning to the Jiawu Realm?
Having ascended, they should be enjoying themselves, so why bother returning to the muddy mortal realm?
"But to descend to the Jiawu Realm now requires offering up a large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures to that insatiable heavenly will..." Mentioning this matter, the ancestors from Supreme Clear Observatory all frowned.
The heavenly will of the Jiawu Realm was truly detestable. Weren't they, after all, born from the Jiawu Realm, and wouldn't their return as Ascended cultivators also shine glory on the Jiawu Realm?
Yet they faced such restrictions!
"Why not discuss with the Daoists from Camel Mountain Temple? They seem eager to descend as well," suggested an ancestor from Supreme Clear Observatory.
"Brother, are you suggesting we mortgage the offerings dedicated to us by the Upper Qian Dynasty for the upcoming thousand years, and use them to exchange for sufficient heavenly and earthly treasures from other Immortal Sect forces?" Another ancestor from Supreme Clear Observatory immediately grasped the intention of his fellow sect member, having been in the same sect for hundreds of years.
"That's exactly the idea."
"Then I will make a trip to Camel Mountain Temple. The thousand-year offering should be enough for us all to descend."
After the decision was made, an ancestor from Supreme Clear Observatory took a trip to Camel Mountain Temple. To this suggestion, the ancestors from Camel Mountain Temple within Western Tuo Mountain naturally did not object.
And so, three days later, the ancestors from Supreme Clear Observatory and Western Tuo Mountain had amassed the required heavenly and earthly treasures and jointly made an offering of these astonishing quantities to the heavenly will of the Jiawu Realm.
At the same time, on the side of Sword Disciple Mountain, they too had prepared the necessary heavenly and earthly treasures and were ready to head for the Jiawu Realm.
With the disappearance of those three individuals unaccounted for, the people from Sword Disciple Mountain could no longer sit still. They were not worried that their three fellow sect members would encounter trouble, but that they might monopolize the divine opportunity!
When they initially allowed those three to descend to the lower realm, they had taken preventive measures for this very situation, which was for two ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain who had practiced the nameless method to join forces in erasing the memories of mutual aid from the minds of the three.
Who would have thought they would still manage to form an alliance of interest.
Therefore, on this day, in the territories of Sword Disciple Mountain, Supreme Clear Observatory, and Western Tuo Mountain within the Jiawu Realm, the skies were covered with a myriad of rosy glows as if it were the breaking of dawn.
One by one, terrifying presences slowly manifested from the countless rosy clouds!
Cultivators within tens of thousands of miles who witnessed this spectacle were in awe, paying their respects as if in the presence of Immortals. The disciples of these three sects were naturally overjoyed at the sight.
Ancestors!
These were their Ancestors!
Although Supreme Clear Observatory, Sword Disciple Mountain, and Western Tuo Mountain had been temporarily disbanded, the disciples from these three Immortal Sects had not strayed too far from their sects.
Were they finally going to reunite with their sects?
The disciples from the three sects couldn't help but think so.
And then, they witnessed the most shocking sight of their lives.
Three enormous Yuan Qi palms descended from above, moving towards the locations of the three Immortal Sects, and slammed down with a single strike!
