Chapter 427: Visiting the Cultivation Alliance Again to Shock Long Panzi

Lin Che, after leaving the Kunxu Realm, did not immediately return to the Zhao Kingdom. Instead, he prepared to head to the Cultivation Alliance Star Domain to completely eliminate that fellow, Long Panzi.

Back then, Long Panzi's cultivation had plummeted, but now that it had recovered, he was likely at the peak of the Ethereal Realm. With Lin Che's current strength, killing Long Panzi would be an easy feat… Inside a magnificent palace in the Cultivation Alliance.

Long Panzi, dressed in a golden daoist robe, leaned back in his chair, propping his chin with one hand, his face indifferent as he stared at everyone before him.

"A bunch of useless trash! You've been fighting the Thunder Immortal Realm for so long without any progress. What good are you?!"

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Sect walked over, bowed and saluted Long Panzi, "Senior Long Panzi, if it weren't for that brat Lin Che helping the Thunder Immortal Realm back then, our Cultivation Alliance Star Domain wouldn't be in its current state."

"Why don't we just directly eliminate all his relatives and friends to prevent future troubles!"

Long Panzi crushed the teacup in his hand and coldly stared at the Vermilion Bird Sacred Emperor before him, saying, "Do you think I don't want to? That Vermilion Bird Star has the Eight-Star Ancient God, Tuo Sen. Even I am not his match."

"But disciple heard that the original inhabitants of Vermilion Bird Star have already relocated to the more distant Water Blue Star, so there shouldn't be any Ancient Gods interfering there."

A cold light suddenly flashed in Long Panzi's eyes. His originally indifferent expression cracked with a sharp fissure. He straightened his body, and the coiled dragon patterns embroidered on his golden daoist robe seemed to be awakened by spiritual energy, subtly exuding pressure.

"Water Blue Star? You've investigated quite thoroughly."

Long Panzi's fingertips lightly tapped the edge of the armrest, each touch making the atmosphere in the hall even more somber.

"Tuo Sen is strong, but he has left Vermilion Bird Star. But Water Blue Star…"

At this point, Long Panzi suddenly paused, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators in the hall who were as silent as cicadas in winter.

The Vermilion Bird Sacred Emperor quickly bowed and added, "Senior, according to reports from our scouts, Water Blue Star has sparse spiritual energy, and the strongest cultivator there is only at the Nirvana Glimpse Realm. Lin Che's relatives and friends are all there."

"As long as we send a hundred Ascended Realm cultivators, led by a single Pure Nirvana Elder, we can uproot them completely within three days!"

"Uproot them completely?"

Long Panzi sneered, his voice full of sarcasm, and indifferently said, "Do you take Lin Che for a fool? He dares to place his relatives and friends on Water Blue Star, so he must have left a contingency plan. Don't forget, he managed to make the Thunder Immortal Realm endure the Alliance's suppression until now, not just by brute force."

An old man in a green robe from the side of the hall stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Long Panzi, this junior believes that even if Lin Che has a contingency plan, Water Blue Star's foundation is not enough to withstand the Alliance's power."

"We can act in three routes. One route will directly tie down the main force of the Thunder Immortal Realm, one route will secretly monitor Vermilion Bird Star, and the third route will launch a surprise attack on Water Blue Star. This way, the cultivators within the Thunder Immortal Realm will be unable to attend to both ends and will surely fall into disarray."

Long Panzi's fingertips condensed a wisp of golden spiritual energy, which transformed into a phantom of Water Blue Star in mid-air. He gazed at the few flickering light spots on the phantom and slowly said,

"Those light spots are the gathering places of Lin Che's relatives and friends. You only see the sparse spiritual energy, but you haven't noticed a faint spatial fluctuation around Water Blue Star. That is a hidden formation. Although not sturdy, it can provide early warning."

"Once our people approach, the cultivators of the Thunder Immortal Realm will surely sense it."

The Vermilion Bird Sacred Emperor urgently said, "Then let the assault team bring formation-breaking talismans! As long as the formation is broken, those mortal-like relatives and friends won't be able to escape our grasp!"

"At that time, we can use them to threaten the other party, make them hand over control of the Thunder Immortal Realm, or even cripple their own cultivation. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Long Panzi suddenly clenched his fist, and the golden spiritual energy instantly dissipated, causing the temperature in the hall to plummet.

"Killing two birds with one stone?"

Long Panzi's eyes were as cold as frost.

These words instantly silenced the hall. The Vermilion Bird Sacred Emperor's face turned pale, and he was speechless.

Long Panzi leaned back in his chair, his tone softening slightly: "This matter cannot be rushed."

"Pass on my order: have the scouts continue to monitor Water Blue Star, ascertain the intricacies of the hidden formation, and simultaneously investigate Lin Che's defensive weaknesses in the Thunder Immortal Realm."

"When the time is ripe, we will act in one fell swoop, not only capturing his relatives and friends but also completely crushing the Thunder Immortal Realm, so that no one in the entire star domain dares to contend with the Cultivation Alliance again!"

Everyone bowed in unison, accepting the command. The golden palace doors slowly closed, sealing off the pressure and machinations within the hall.

Long Panzi looked at the star map painted on the ceiling. Spiritual energy once again flickered at his fingertips, and the phantom of Water Blue Star shimmered in his palm, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Che, this time, I will not give you any chance to turn the tables."

Just as Long Panzi was contemplating, the originally azure, sea-like sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. A vast energy, like surging waves, continuously spread outwards.

Upon sensing this energy, Long Panzi instantly rushed out of the main hall, staring at the rift in the sky, his face ashen.

"Who are you, fellow daoist? Why do you trespass into the Cultivation Alliance of my Kunxu Star Domain!"

"Hehehe, Senior Long Panzi truly has a short memory. So many years have passed, and I didn't expect you to still be this way."

As the voice fell, Lin Che, dressed in a blood-red robe, stepped out. It seemed his aura was so powerful that the void on both sides was instantly torn apart.

Long Panzi's expression froze, and he said with disbelief, "It's actually you… Brat Lin Che!"

"Wait, your cultivation… Peak Empty Nirvana!"

After feeling the energy emanating from Lin Che, Long Panzi gasped, unable to believe that this fellow had actually reached the Peak Empty Nirvana Realm. Was this even a realm that humans could achieve?!

Long Panzi clenched his fists, his face ashen, and said, "I didn't expect you to break through to such a realm. I truly have to look at you with new eyes."

"But don't forget, now that my cultivation has recovered, I have reached the peak of the Ethereal Realm. A mere Empty Nirvana junior is nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree."

Lin Che placed one hand behind his back and snorted disdainfully, saying, "What if you're at the peak of the Ethereal Realm? Before a Seven-Star Ancient God, you're as fragile as an ant. Long Panzi, back then you hunted me down and caused my master to be tormented for years. Today, I will reclaim justice!"

As Lin Che's voice fell, the energy around him surged even more. Then, Lin Che, who originally had silver-white hair, now transformed, his hair turning blood-red.

And in the sky, two phenomena, the sun and moon shining together, appeared, making all the powerhouses of the Cultivation Alliance feel a deep sense of oppression.

Long Panzi's face was ashen. He subconsciously clenched his fists and thought to himself, "It's actually a Seven-Star Ancient God at the peak, only half a step away from breaking through to Eight-Star… No wonder this brat dares to come here alone."
