Necropolis Immortal

>Bam!

The Tempest Bird extended its enormous wings and dove at Lu Yun in the general’s manor, its aura exceeding even that of a peerless immortal! He weathered the overwhelming pressure with a grim look.
I can’t move or circulate my energy! So, too, was the bloodcorpse beside him likewise immobile.

The battle formation of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers wasn’t something a couple of immortals could face.
Even peerless immortals had no choice but to flee under the pressure.

Roar!

The Black Tortoise exploded with fury as it moved.

“Your opponent is me.” Yuchi Hanxing brandished her silver lance and commanded the Black Tortoise to ram into the Tempest Bird, hurling it backward through the sky.

“Kill!” she exclaimed.

“Kill!!” echoed the million Dusk soldiers.
The tremendous war cry deafened countless immortals both inside and outside of Cloudwater Township.

“How is this possible?!” Yue Cheng’s eyes were round with shock.
“The Heavenly Formation of the Black Tortoise is powerful, but the Dusk Phalanx is composed of mere cultivators.
How are they able to overpower the Great Tempest Formation?”

He’d seen the might of the Dusk Phalanx formation for himself before, but the army itself was too weak.
They might be able to kill a couple powerful immortals, but the formation should’ve been scattered when facing a formation projected by an all-immortal army.

Yet the opposite had happened here and the Black Tortoise had sent the Tempest Bird careening backward!

“It’s the same army and the same formation.” Fear colored Yue Cheng’s expression.
“But the Black Tortoise image created by the formation seems to have come to life! What’s going on here?”

“That’s because the Dusk Phalanx has seen a real Black Tortoise with their own eyes,” answered a smooth and graceful voice.
A beautiful woman in palace attire walked out from thin air.
She was the last of the three wardens, Zhu Yu.

“When the North Sea monster spirits attacked the seaside stronghold a few months ago, a Black Tortoise of coiled snake and turtle appeared for a time.
Yuchi Hanxing and her soldiers saw the real sacred beast then.
Witnessing that is what imparted the soul of the Black Tortoise to their formation.” Zhu Yu enunciated her words carefully.
“On the other hand, the Tempest soldiers have never seen the Tempest Bird.
The image of the bird is a poor imitation they’ve created that’s based on drawings of the divine beast.

“You shouldn’t have returned early.
Now you’ll have to take a stance in the power struggle between the future sacred land and the Nephrite Court.”

“I….” Yue Cheng trembled.
“You knew about Feng Wujiang’s plan beforehand?”

Zhu Yu nodded without a word.
She’d purposefully waited until the true battle had started before returning with her soldiers.
Protecting Cloudwater Township and its people was her duty.
Since she hadn’t witnessed the whole affair, she didn’t have to take a stand.

But Yue Cheng was different.
As a witness of the conflict, he’d have to pick a side when the Nephrite Court inevitably came to investigate, and wouldn’t be allowed to stay on the sidelines.

……

The Black Tortoise tore into the Tempest Bird in midair, gaining the upper hand.
Meanwhile, Lu Yun had entered the general manor with his unsheathed sword.
Although the bloodcorpse didn’t make any further moves, the guards were too terrified to even try to stop him.

“Any last words, Feng Yin?” Lu Yun arrived in front of the young man.

“I am indeed less than him.
If it were him, he wouldn’t have rushed to kill you like this.” Feng Yin sighed, disgruntled.
“Feng Li, you’ve been building up your strength under the facade of incompetence.
How clever.

“However, I won’t sit here and wait for death to take me.” He formed a sudden hand seal.
“Activate!”

With a hum, a great formation lit up and devoured Lu Yun.
