Chapter 557 The Prelude to the Storm of War at the Blazing Sun Sect
The frontline battlefield at that time.
Bishop Youpeng, Tianmingzi, Huidaoren, Leihoujun, Sanshidaoren, Shamonu, Xiehun Laozu, Yinyang Mojun, Youdao Mojun, Lanxin Laoren... too many demonic giants gathered at the foot of the Lieyang Sect.
At first glance, there are no fewer than a hundred Nascent Soul experts, and the number of late-stage Grand Cultivators and even Nascent Soul Perfection experts is more than two hands' width, approaching twenty.
It can be said that the power of the Crimson Kite Demon Cultivator was fully utilized.
The most elite group of people in the demonic path are all here.
This means that the final offensive phase is about to begin, and the powerful commander is none other than the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord, who is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and has a towering, robust body like an iron tower.
Just by standing there, he caused the demons to roar like a tsunami.
Under the intense spiritual light.
The treasured artifact of the Blazing Sun Sect, the Ancient Fusang Tree, is shining brightly, and the fifth-order formation built around the ancient tree—the Blazing Sun Demon Refining Formation—is in operation.
As the sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect, who was at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, seeing the scene of ten thousand demons howling outside the array's spiritual light, despair filled his heart, and his voice became extremely hoarse and low.
"Gentlemen, the day of our sect's destruction is imminent. Have any of the sect's young talents retreated?"
"Sect Master, the seeds have all been sent overseas."
"The Sword Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, is utterly despicable, scheming against us like this. If they hadn't promised to provide support, we wouldn't be in this predicament..."
"Yes, these hypocrites, worthy of being leaders of the righteous path, are simply going too far!!!"
"Those remaining forces from Lei Huo Guan and Wang Yue Gong have probably sensed something is wrong. If my Lie Yang Sect is destroyed, then all that will remain in the vast Taihu Lake will be those treacherous dogs from the Sword Sect. I'm furious!"
The cultivators of the Blazing Sun Sect were filled with righteous indignation, their dissatisfaction with the Sword Sect reaching its peak, but... what could they do?
All demons have arrived; there is nowhere to escape, neither in heaven nor on earth.
The space had been sealed off long ago, and even the ancient teleportation array was unusable. Furthermore, the Lieyang Sect had just experienced a rebellion and suffered heavy losses.
No matter from which angle you look at it.
This is a doomed situation.
The main sect of Lieyang Sect bowed to the many Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Gentlemen, the disparity between the enemy and ourselves is enormous. Once the war begins, flee if you can."
The cultivators, who had been so excited just moments before, were suddenly speechless.
No one dared to respond to the sect leader's words.
Leave...who doesn't want to leave? It's just that they have no choice but to stay due to circumstances. Even those Nascent Soul cultivators with deeply intertwined interests have considered escaping.
Losing a long-established empire is better than losing your life.
If people are saved but land is lost, both people and land will be preserved.
If you lose the land but the people, you lose both the land and the people.
This principle applies even more to cultivators. In the cultivation world, the strong rule everything. The problem is that the Sword Sect's attitude is ambiguous, and the subsequent developments are even more unpredictable.
They feared that if they retreated, they would never have the chance to return to the Taihu Spiritual Realm in their lifetime. The choice between them depended entirely on what the cultivators thought.
Seeing the silent atmosphere, the Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect knew that some people were concerned about saving face and could not leave first in front of their many colleagues with whom they had worked for many years.
He then continued.
"The sect's seeds that have left need the protection of the elders to have a greater chance of growing into towering trees, so... those who want to leave can leave. Even if it's a certain death situation, this sect won't be so heartless."
"As long as the elders remember the Blazing Sun Sect and the hatred for its destruction, that is enough."
Upon hearing this, at least half of the people showed signs of eagerness, but suddenly a very clever person spoke up.
"Why don't we join the demonic path? It's quite convenient to switch to cultivating demonic energy anyway."
"Since the Sword Sect regards us as expendable pawns, we might as well join the demonic path, fight alongside them, and storm the Sword Sect's gates to exact our revenge!!!"
The Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect was taken aback upon hearing this.
He had never really considered this option. After all, since he entered the Dao, his elders had instilled in him the idea that good and evil could not coexist. Now that he thought about it, demonic techniques and supernatural powers were just a little bloody.
There is essentially no difference.
Under their rule, they simply followed a strategy of slowly and steadily reaping resources from lower-level cultivators, focusing on sustainable development.
It seemed that the sect leader was genuinely considering this possibility.
The Nascent Soul elders' thoughts immediately became active.
"Zhiyan is right. We'll join the demonic path and then attack the Sword Sect to avenge ourselves!"
"They've joined the demonic path!"
I agree.
"Surrender, Sect Master. This is our only chance. Perhaps we can still preserve the eternal foundation of the Blazing Sun Sect. The righteous and the demonic are said to be irreconcilable, but in reality, there is no difference between them."
The Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect opened and closed his lips, his exhausted body and mind suddenly bursting with new energy. After looking around, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth.
“Then we will surrender. However, all elders, please remain inside the formation. I, the sect master, will personally negotiate with the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord.”
I voted; it was definitely a good choice.
Whether the demonic path will accept it remains to be seen. Given the demonic cultivators' bloodthirsty nature, they would probably rather suffer some casualties to completely take down the Blazing Sun Sect.
After all, the gains from destroying one of the seven righteous sects were considerable; everyone was well-fed and had a large amount of resources.
Therefore, negotiations are extremely dangerous.
Since the sect leader was willing to take action, the others were naturally happy to do so and had no reason to object.
"Then let's do as the sect leader wishes."
"Sect Master, be careful. Demonic cultivators are used to going back on their word. Be careful that they don't pretend to agree but actually trick us into opening the defensive formation."
"Rest assured, I understand these principles. I will definitely use a contract as proof to put your mind at ease."
And so it was.
Just as the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord had arranged the attack route, he was surprised to find the Blazing Sun Sect Master emerging from the mountain gate, and he spoke loudly.
"Earthly Fiend Venerable, I wish to have a word with you."
The demonic cultivators all looked at this scene with a strange expression.
There were those who scoffed, those who disdained, those who were worried, and those who were completely baffled, vividly portraying the myriad aspects of human nature.
Upon seeing this, the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord took the initiative to come to the front of the formation.
"Sect Master Lieyang, please speak plainly. I will give you time to devise your schemes."
The demons: "..."
The Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect said with a wry smile, "That's how it is..."
…………
…………
Inside the sect leader's cave at the mountain gate of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect.
After years of seclusion, the Refining Heaven Demon Lord finally cleared away the numerous curses and killing techniques cast by the White Tiger Demon Lord and successfully recovered. As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he discovered the reborn Chi Tian.
Before I could even ask what had happened...
He then received a message from the Earthly Fiend Demon Lord, who, with the power of the spiritual treasure, could achieve instant communication without delay between the two regions, and learned of the Blazing Sun Sect's intention to surrender.
He immediately burst into laughter.
He replied, "We can agree to that, but when we attack the Sword Sect's mountain gate, they must lead the charge, including the seven states under the Sword Sect's jurisdiction."
"clear!"
After issuing the order, the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven finally had time to ask Chi Tian a question.
What's wrong with you?
Chi Tian remained inside the blood cocoon. His reconstructed body was still in its youthful stage, and its physical strength had not yet fully recovered. Upon seeing the sect leader's sudden arrival, he looked terrified.
“Chitian is incompetent, please punish him, Sect Master.”
"The damage to his physical body was caused by the Demon Lord of the Extreme Law Profound Pill. Decades ago, Tianyuzi sought help from our sect, but Fellow Daoist Disha was not present..."
Chi Tian spoke for a long time before explaining the whole story. When the Demon Lord Lian Tian heard the title "Extreme Law," he immediately recalled the situation in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.
"He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Yes, and his combat power is formidable; even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be his match."
"As expected of the number one genius of Chi Yuan, amazing."
Upon seeing the sect leader praising the enemy's ferocity, Chi Tian blushed and said, "Please give me a chance to redeem myself. I will definitely teach him a lesson next time we meet."
"There's no need for that."
Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven shook his head.
"Wang Yu is quite intelligent; he must have guessed my plan. When we attack the Sword Sect's mountain gate, he will be an asset. The stronger he is, the better. We must show him respect next time we meet."
"As for your personal grudges, they are no longer important now. Whether the plan succeeds or fails, this person is not someone you can deal with."
Chi Tian fell silent.
This fact was a huge blow to him. What he said earlier was just bravado. He was lucky to have escaped with his life. How could he dare to face this vicious man again?
What I just said was merely to get the sect leader to avenge him.
Since things have come to this, we should just avoid him.
Could Wang Yu possibly keep up the fight with him? The feud started when Wang Yu was trying to steal his treasure, so how did it become him initiating the conflict?
It's truly baffling.
"Wuji is here? The war between good and evil is about to enter its final stage. We still need to put on a show with the Sword Sect to lull the Prison King Lingguan into a false sense of security."
Upon hearing this, Chi Tian quickly replied.
"Senior Wuji should have infiltrated the Sword Sect's mountain gate by now. With Jianzi as an inside agent, the Ancient Demon will be our strongest trump card against the Prison King Spirit Official."
"very good."
The cooperation between the Demon Sect and the Sword Sect actually concealed something: the exploitation of the Ancient Demon of Life, a matter the Sword Sect was unaware of.
The reason why the two sides were able to reach a cooperation agreement, and why the Sword Sect followed the plan of the Heavenly Demon Lord, was because he possessed a powerful weapon left behind by the ancient immortal dynasty.
It exists as one of the trump cards to kill the Prison King Lingguan.
Therefore.
The situation then became that the Sword Sect cooperated with the Demon Sect to attract the attention of the Prison King and Spirit Official by feigning defeat, thus luring the latter into battle and preventing the Demonic Path from unifying the Ice Prison Realm.
But this is the plan.
But no one is a fool; they all know that the other party must have a deeper goal, and they can even guess some of the truth.
But so what?
If one entity dominates the Ice Prison Realm, it will easily give rise to an era's overlord, who will integrate the resources of the entire world to cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators, and the cutting-edge power will only become stronger and stronger.
The prison king and spirit official would never sit idly by.
So even if he guessed that this was bait to lure him out, he had no choice but to accept it; that's the power of a calculated scheme.
Similarly.
In the numerous battles between the righteous and the demonic, the Refining Heaven Demon Sect has repeatedly shown its obsession with the Sword Sect's mountain gate. How could they not know its covetousness towards the Ancient Demon of Life?
It was merely tacit approval.
All interests and ideologies are giving way to their plan to break the cage, so what if they have to abandon their bottom line in the past?
Only when they are nearing the end of their lifespan will these top experts do things that they would never have allowed in the past; compromise is the norm for old cultivators.
The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven's plan was hardly brilliant.
The only one is the character “莽”.
His plan was to directly and forcefully kill the Prison King Lingguan; it's unclear what kind of trump card gave him such confidence.
After communicating with Chi Tian and obtaining the information he wanted, he summoned all the cultivators of the Demon Sect through his attendant.
Although the attack on the Sword Sect's mountain gate was just a show, the Refining Heaven Demon Sect possessed the strongest experts among all the sects of the Crimson Kite Sect, and they had to be present. Even if they couldn't participate in the Nascent Soul Battlefield, Refining Heaven still had other uses.
The process of convening the meeting lasted for more than ten days.
During this brief respite, the Demon Lord of Refining Heaven obtained more information, mainly concerning Wang Yu's movements. He paid close attention to this and subsequently discovered information about the battles between the Nascent Soul cultivators in Xijijing and Qiuniu Mountain.
He was overjoyed.
"Well done, Wang Yu! You did a wonderful job... In this way, only one person, Tianmu Suyu, will need to deal with this, allowing us to unite all forces to target the thieves from outside the boundary."
This unexpected surprise was more valuable than the surrender of the Lieyang Sect.
at the same time.
He also sent someone to inform the demon race that although the Azure Dragon and White Tiger demon lords were his mortal enemies, they were also people worth trying to win over in the face of such a major issue.
Who wouldn't want to break free from this prison-like world?
Due to the rules of the immortals, the ascension is confirmed to be false. Only by breaking free from the cage can one continue to climb the path of immortality, which is a great blessing for all living beings in the world.
Therefore, abandoning hatred is simpler than you might imagine.
in this way.
Half a month later, as news of the Blazing Sun Sect's surrender spread, the Refining Heaven Demon Sect also mobilized its entire force and headed west, where it would join the Demonic Alliance forces outside the Sword Sect's mountain gate to launch a final all-out attack!
Success or failure, we'll see this turn of events.
…………
…………
Chiyuan, Fengzhou Prefecture.
When Wang Yu learned of the news from the outside world, it was precisely the time when the Lieyang Sect was surrendering. With his keen senses, he naturally sensed that the opportunity for a decisive battle was approaching.
However, they had not yet figured out the true nature of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
In terms of confidence, it's really not that great.
But participation was definitely necessary, so he immediately crushed the jade pendant given to him by the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest to notify the other party that the time was right.
Not holding out much hope, Wang Yu did not inform his close female friends, such as Jin Miaoshan and Yan Ling, because ultimately, one has to rely on oneself.
"Conservatively speaking, the Sword Sect War will begin in a year at most. We must hurry back to the Ice Plains and then head straight to the Sword Sect's mountain gate..."
I mentally went through the order once.
Wang Yu arrived and left on the same day, using the Aurora Escape Technique to travel at extreme speed to the gatekeeper tribe of the Ice Clan, considering that the Ice Clan had been exceptionally active for the past century.
They might even have to fight it out.
He wasn't under pressure; he was just thinking about how to obtain the Nascent Soul inheritance of the Ice Demon Path from the Ancient Frozen Demon. In his view, the power of the demonic contamination could be resisted by his Glazed Mind.
Naturally, it can bring out its greatest advantages.
He will then use the deductive ability of the placement bar to obtain a top-grade cultivation technique for the sixth-order Void Refinement stage. This is his trump card in his struggle against the Prison King Spirit Official.
Both things are important.
Obtaining the Frozen Demon's inheritance is even more important, as it concerns his future cultivation. At the same time, he also needs to prepare several trump cards to save his life in case he fails to become the Heavenly Demon Lord.
After this, he will obtain accurate information about the Prison King Spirit Official's strength, which is very important intelligence.
I have to go.
Wang Yu gave himself three months to complete these tasks, and then... he would head to the battlefield!
