Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1424

Chapter 1424: Empty Threats, Running Out of Tricks (Part 1) Chapter 1424: Empty Threats, Running Out of Tricks (Part 1) Editor: Henyee Translations “Even so, we must remain vigilant and avoid recklessness.” With these words, although Azure Cloud Immortal had decided to lead his followers toward the mysterious treasure, he was careful not to let excitement cloud his judgment.

Even if this treasure had remained hidden until now, an unaware passerby might still sense its power, which could pose a risk.

The red-clad cultivators they’d encountered were an unknown faction, proving that another force was already present.

Hearing Azure Cloud Immortal’s reminder, the elders and disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect responded with discipline, quietly channeling their powers.

The three elders at the True Immortal level drew their personal treasures, holding them ready, casting a faint radiance, and creating an invisible barrier that enveloped their disciples.

With cautious glances and steely focus, they resumed their journey toward the pillar of light.

In the blink of an eye, familiar landscapes passed beneath them, memories surfacing as they looked around at the remnants of their ancestral land.

Though the Great Calamity had nearly destroyed everything, even a glimpse of familiar scenery stirred feelings within them.

“SighaEUR| Who knows when, or if, our Azure Cloud Province will ever return to its former gloryaEUR|” Many disciples murmured softly, especially those who had grown up here, feeling bittersweet at the sight.

In the realm of cultivation, no peak was safe; anyone defying destiny could fall in an instant.

A heavy silence settled over the group as they took in the ruined land around them.

“Hold!

This path is closed.

Turn back from whence you came.” A sudden, commanding voice broke through the air, bringing the Azure Cloud disciples and elders to a halt, stunned.

Anger flared among them as they searched for the speaker.

This was their ancestral land, even if it lay in ruins; for someone to bar them from their own territory was an outrage that none could tolerate.

“Who dares?!

You have the nerve to claim our Azure Cloud Province!” “Insolence!

Do you know who we are?

How dare you speak so brazenly?!” “Who’s hiding and barking orders?

Show yourself, coward, and I’ll make you regret it!” “A bunch of yelping mutts.

Laughable!” Voices rang out from the Azure Cloud Sect’s ranks, roaring in anger, and their indignation quickly filled the air.

Just then, a flicker of light spread through the skies, as columns of brilliant energy surged upward, forming a grid of powerful auras.

Amidst this brilliance, the figures of the interlopers finally emerged, blocking the Azure Cloud Sect’s path.

Draped in crimson robes, they formed an imposing line, standing firm like a forest of scarlet trees.

Each radiated a distinct yet formidable presence, their sharp gazes locked on the Azure Cloud disciples.

For a moment, silence descended, charged with deadly intent as energy hummed in the air.

An invisible clash of wills ensued, tension tightening every nerve among the gathered cultivators.

“Impudent fools!

Who are you to block the path of the Azure Cloud Sect?” one of the elders spat, his fury palpable.

“Boom!” Instantly, thunder rolled across the skies as a torrent of power exploded toward the intruders.

But before the Azure Cloud elder’s strength could reach them, it collided with an unseen barrier and dissipated into nothing.

“An Immortal-grade formation?!

Impossible!

Who are they to set up such a trap in our territory?” Seeing the barrier suddenly deflect their attack, the Azure Cloud disciples’ and elders’ expressions shifted to shock and disbelief.

It was clear now that not only had this unknown force arrived first, but they had also prepared defenses, anticipating their return.

“Could it be the Scarlet Dragon Sect from the Central ProvinceaEUR|?” Azure Cloud Immortal’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as he murmured.

His words sent a shiver through the gathered elders and disciples.

The Scarlet Dragon Sect was a formidable force, on par with the Azure Cloud Sect at its peak.

Now, however, their own sect was weakened, and their current strength could hardly rival the Scarlet Dragon’s.

“Well, wellaEUR| Azure Cloud Immortal, it’s been a while!” Before they could make any further move, a scarlet glow ignited in the distance, quickly expanding into a sky-spanning cloud that rolled toward them.

A formidable aura flooded the area as a figure in red robes appeared above the sea of clouds.

With blazing red hair and beard flowing, his intimidating presence left no doubt about his identity.

“Red-Beard ImmortalaEUR|” At a glance, Azure Cloud Immortal and his followers recognized him.

The immense power radiating from his form confirmed itaEUR”an Earth Immortal, an overwhelming force to their current ranks.
