Chapter 1022: Daolord Confrontation
Editor: Henyee Translations

The disturbances coming from afar instantly caught Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s attention, their eyes lighting up with recognition.

The familiar energy fluctuations were likely from Qin Shenwu and the others they had been searching for.

“It’s like finding what you’ve been searching for without even looking,” Shen Ruyan said with a delighted chuckle.

Having just comprehended the rules of life and death, they emerged to unexpectedly find news of Qin Shenwu, adding joy to their triumph.

“Yes, let’s go. It seems Shifu and the others might be in trouble, let’s hurry,” Jiang Chengxuan replied, feeling a sense of relief and pleasure.

Since entering the Immortal cave abode, they had been searching for Qin Shenwu without success.

The vast and perilous nature of the cave had thwarted their efforts until this fortunate coincidence.

“Alright.”

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan locked onto the direction of the earlier disturbances.

Manifesting their Dao rules, they transformed into two beams of light, speeding across the desolate wilderness with the velocity of a Daolord.

Meanwhile, as they were rushing towards the source of the disturbance, three immensely powerful and terrifying presences were in standoff in the void.

Each of these figures emitted the aura of a Daolord, one of whom was Qin Shenwu, whom Jiang Chengxuan had been tirelessly searching for.

Qin Shenwu stood with his hands behind his back, clad in the Haoran Sect’s robe, his presence commanding as his robes and hair fluttered without wind, his eyebrows furrowed in a stern expression.

Behind him were two younger figures, also in Haoran Sect robes—a man and a woman both looking slightly angry, unmistakably Jiang Chengxuan’s senior sister and brother, Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan.

Opposing them were two figures exuding equally overwhelming auras.

One, clad in a greyish-white robe with a face as gnarled as old wood and eyes that glimmered with dark intent, was Daolord Skeleton.

The other, swathed in a dark green robe with equally dark green hair, his face lined with strange, sinister runes, was none other than Daolord Phantom Ghost, the ancient ancestor of another nefarious sect, the Ghost Hall.

The fluctuations that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had felt were the result of these two nefarious powerful figures clashing with Qin Shenwu.

Somehow, these two evil powerhouses had joined forces in the Immortal cave abode and encountered Qin Shenwu and his group.

Post-war enmities between the Sacred Skeleton Sect and the Haoran Sect had escalated, and naturally, the Ghost Hall wasn’t fond of righteous sects either.

Seeing their enemies thus provoked an intense confrontation.

Daolord Skeleton manifested his Daolord rule, filling the void with a forest of sinister, bone-like structures, radiating an eerie, deathly vibe.

Similarly, Daolord Phantom Ghost expanded a domain of ghost hell around him, filled with wailing souls and shadows, some looming larger than the heavens and earth.

Opposite them, Qin Shenwu also unleashed his Five Elements Dao rule, creating a vibrant world of multicolored elemental energies that starkly contrasted with the dark powers of his adversaries.

The rules of the three Daolords clashed against each other in this region, their silent conflict distorting the heavens and earth, hinting at impending destruction.

Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan, standing behind Qin Shenwu, had to exert their full strength just to maintain their footing in this volatile environment.

“Daolord Skeleton, Daolord Phantom Ghost, are you truly choosing to stand against the Haoran Sect?” Qin Shenwu bellowed across the void, his voice booming like a great bell, the light from his Daolord rule intensifying, putting pressure on his opponents.

“Hmph! What is the Haoran Sect to the Sacred Skeleton Sect? Are we supposed to be afraid of you?” Daolord Skeleton retorted, his eyes filled with lethal intent.

Unlike Daolord Skeleton’s direct confrontation, Daolord Phantom Ghost’s approach was more insidious. “As far as I am aware, this place is not under Haoran Sect’s jurisdiction. Are we not free to travel here? Aren’t you being a bit too domineering, Qin Shenwu?”

This typical maneuver of Daolord Phantom Ghost, always trying to claim the moral high ground, was evident in his retort.

“Hmph! The audacity of you two old fools, I don’t need to say more. Had I not arrived in time, my two disciples might have already perished here,” Qin Shenwu countered fiercely.

The two disciples were none other than Jiang Chengxuan’s senior sister and brother, Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan.

Earlier, it was precisely when Daolord Skeleton and Daolord Phantom Ghost attempted to make a move against Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan that Qin Shenwu clashed with them.

This time, faced with Qin Shenwu’s questioning, Daolord Skeleton’s expression became unnatural.

He just snorted coldly, no longer retorting, and cold light gleamed in his originally dark and sinister eyes.

Needless to say, it was Daolord Skeleton who was the bully and attempted to make a move against Xie Xiangyao and Zhao Tianfan.

Already having enmity with the Haoran Sect and after losing all their disciples and descendants, upon seeing Qin Shenwu’s disciples, they naturally harbored the intent to kill them on the spot.

But coincidentally, Qin Shenwu was nearby, and at the critical moment, he intervened to stop him, which led to this confrontation and verbal battle.

This also caused the terrifying fluctuations that were sensed by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan hundreds of miles away.

As the couple rushed to the scene, the five people present were still unaware of it.
