I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 562 Invitation

The hundred-foot-wide fiery domain that had just inspired awe was now like a chick under the talons of an eagle, thanks to the crystal dragon's claws.

A cold shadow enveloped the fiery domain.

Snowflakes fell in a flurry, following the dragon's claws.

The raging flames, upon touching the snowflakes, hissed and extinguished in clusters and clumps.

"A second-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! How is that possible!"

Huo Xuan Zhenren's face turned pale, his eyes filled with horror. He quickly slapped the back of his head, and a fire mace shot out, transforming into a fire qilin that roared as it charged toward the crystal dragon claw, trying to break it away.

The crystal dragon claw slammed down.

"Oh!"

The fire qilin was instantly shattered, transforming back into a fire mace that fell downwards.

Below, Huo Xuan Zhenren's body was flashing with flames, and the fire dragons that originally surrounded him suddenly shook off their clusters of flames and shrank by one size.

"Palace Master, let's talk this out!"

While screaming, Huo Xuan Zhenren conjured a ball of flames and tried to escape towards Chixiao Immortal Island. At the same time, the falling fire mace transformed into a fire unicorn and charged towards the crystal dragon claw, buying time for his escape.

Although the two were only one tribulation apart.

However, one of them was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had undergone the first tribulation and dissolved into a divine form, while the other was a Nascent Soul cultivator who had survived two tribulations in his physical body. Moreover, he was of the bloodline of the Sea Dragon King, so he could not be measured by the ordinary first tribulation.

"Trying to leave!" Lan Xi's face was as cold as frost. She smiled coldly, and the Dragon Fang Blade shot out horizontally, slicing through the void. In an instant, it was above Huo Xuan Zhenren's head, about to strike down.

Just then, three beams of light pierced through the air from afar.

Each one was incredibly imposing, clearly belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The leader was tall and robust, with a crimson beard and purple robes fluttering in the wind. Behind him, a phantom of a sea of ​​fire burned fiercely. He was none other than the current leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, True Man of Blazing Fire.

At this time, True Man Liehuo had already survived two Heavenly Tribulations, and he had even survived them with his physical body. It was unknown whether this was due to his truly amazing talent or some great opportunity.

"Fellow Daoist, spare his life!"

Master Liehuo shouted loudly.

"Master Liehuo!"

Upon seeing that it was True Person Liehuo, Lanxi felt an even stronger chill emanating from her.

A dragon's roar resounded, and the Dragon Fang Blade was resolutely swung down.

The blade's intent was chilling, locking the entire body in place.

This sword is one of the six most powerful magical treasures in the Dragon Clan's palace, aside from celestial artifacts.

If placed in any major Nascent Soul realm power in the present world, it would be an absolute treasure.

Master Huoxuan was so frightened he nearly lost his mind, screaming, "Master, save me!"

Then, with a bang, he transformed into dozens of primordial spirit clones, which scattered in all directions.

The Dragon Fang Blade trembled slightly, instantly transforming into dozens of blade lights that separated from the dozens of primordial spirit clones.

"Be bold!"

Upon seeing this, the Fiery Immortal flew into a rage, and a chain of fire suddenly swept down from afar, lashing down into the void.

"Oh!"

The fiery chain barely managed to deflect one of the blades, allowing one of Huo Xuan Zhenren's primordial spirit clones to escape. The remaining dozens of primordial spirit clones, however, were annihilated by the blade's attack, transforming into radiant light and vanishing into the world. "Master, you must avenge me!" One of Huo Xuan Zhenren's primordial spirit clones reformed into a human form, standing beside Lie Huo Zhenren, pointing at Lan Xi with eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

The people who were reassembled were noticeably thinner, as if they would be scattered by the wind if a gust of wind blew.

Clearly, the primordial spirit clone that Huo Xuan Zhenren was able to escape in the end was only a very small part of his primordial spirit.

Just then, Yun Zhan's nascent soul, who had just seen his master, Huo Xuan Zhenren, arrive and regained his composure and arrogance, was terrified to see that Huo Xuan Zhenren had only managed to escape with a small primordial spirit clone. His whole body trembled with fear, and he was suddenly pulled together by the ice crystal chains, resulting in his complete death and annihilation.

"Mermaid race! Who exactly are you, fellow Daoist? Why have you offended my Crimson Cloud Sect! You should know that among Nascent Soul cultivators, war should not be easily started unless there is a deep-seated hatred!"

Master Liehuo nodded to Master Huoxuan, then stared intently at Lanxi, questioning her sternly, while inwardly he was utterly astonished.

The Merfolk had not produced a Nascent Soul cultivator for many years, but now a Nascent Soul cultivator who had survived two Heavenly Tribulations in his physical body had appeared. Moreover, True Man Liehuo had never seen one before. How could he not be surprised?
Little did True Immortal Liehuo know that Lanxi was once just an unknown nobody in Canglan Palace. She only quietly took the position of Palace Master of Canglan Palace more than a hundred years ago. And her success in passing two Heavenly Tribulations and becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator was only a matter of the last few decades.

Given his status as Master Liehuo, why would he care about the newly enthroned Palace Master of the long-declining Canglan Palace?

"I am Lanxi, the Palace Master of Canglan Palace! Your Chixiao Sect, as a hegemon of the Chixiao Sea, not only failed to restrain various forces from arbitrarily bullying, plundering, and trading my Merfolk, but also led the way in blatantly bullying and plundering my Merfolk, forcing my palace to offer tribute of our people for your Chixiao Sect disciples to desecrate."

Back then, my younger sister was forcibly taken to Chixiao Immortal Island by your disciple Bai Xuzi, who used her for his pleasure. She later died on Chixiao Immortal Island.

I came to your Crimson Cloud Immortal Island today to have a proper talk with you and to get an explanation from you for me and for the Merfolk.

"Unfortunately, from your patrolling disciples to your crimson-robed disciples, and even your Nascent Soul elders, you are all cut from the same cloth. You continue to bully my Merfolk race at will, showing no respect for us. You truly deserve to die!"

Lanxi's voice was as cold as ice. She pointed her Dragon Fang Blade at Huo Xuan's primordial spirit clone standing behind Liehuo Zhenren, and the blade emitted a sharp light. A phantom of a true dragon appeared in the air, exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.

"So Bai Xuzi died at your hands!" Master Liehuo's face darkened, and the illusory sea of ​​fire behind him suddenly leaped high. Within the sea of ​​fire, a crimson flame beast resembling a tiger or leopard roared faintly.

"My sister died because of Bai Xuzi, and this villain, for your millennium birthday banquet, not only came to my Canglan Palace to forcibly demand my clansmen as gifts, but also harbored improper thoughts about me. Even cutting him into a thousand pieces would not be enough to vent my hatred!" Lanxi said coldly.

"My thousandth birthday celebration!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liehuo was slightly taken aback. Then, as if he remembered something, a look of shock flashed in his eyes. Then, as if he remembered something else, a look of greedy fervor flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly concealed that greedy and burning look, and his eyes instead revealed a look of shame and self-reproach.

"It's all because of my poor teaching as the leader that Bai Xuzi and his followers acted so lawlessly, causing your Merfolk race to suffer."

"Palace Master Lanxi, rest assured, my Crimson Cloud Sect will certainly give your Canglan Palace an explanation for this matter! However, this is not the place to talk. I would like to ask you and my fellow Daoists to come with me to the island for a detailed discussion."

The Fiery Immortal, with his tall and robust figure, bowed deeply to Lan Xi, displaying a sincere attitude befitting a senior.

"Brother!"

Huo Xuan Zhenren was greatly shocked and furious upon seeing this.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to call me senior brother? If it weren't for the mercy shown by Palace Master Lanxi just now, you wouldn't even be able to protect this primordial spirit avatar!" True Man Liehuo said angrily.

The Crimson Flame Beast poked its head out of the sea of ​​fire, baring its teeth at Huo Xuan Zhenren, as if it wanted to devour his primordial spirit avatar.

Upon seeing this, Huo Xuan Zhenren's primordial spirit clone shrank back and dared not utter another sound.

Seeing this, Master Liehuo's expression softened slightly. He then turned to Lanxi and made an inviting gesture, saying, "Greetings, Palace Master."

“Alright!” Lanxi nodded, turned around and flew down from the precious carriage.

Yuanji and Xingyi followed and flew back to the side of the precious carriage.

The beaded curtain slowly descended.

　That concludes today's update.
