170: Demon Extermination Alliance

Yuxian Continent, Myriad Blades Mountain.

This immortal Holy Land, once a place of quiet cultivation, was now filled with fluttering banners and sky-high Killing Intent.

Countless Cultivators, dressed in various Sect uniforms, gathered densely like a converging tide on the enormous plaza in front of the mountain gate.

The glow of Magic Treasures intertwined with a solemn Aura, casting a grave pallor over the sky.

On the high platform at the front of the plaza, an old man in a dark Daoist robe with a sinister face stood with his hands behind his back. A faint True Immortal pressure emanated from him; though he deliberately restrained it, it still made the numerous Cultivators below the platform feel a tremor in their hearts.

His gaze swept over the dense crowd below, and his voice, like the clash of metal, echoed in all directions.

"Wending Sect! A despicable Demonic Sect from an outer domain, it dares to infiltrate my Qinggu Heaven Domain, attempting to subvert our Dao tradition and poison all living beings with its demonic methods!"

His tone suddenly rose, filled with compassionate indignation.

"My Yuxian Continent, and indeed the entire Qinggu Heaven Domain, has a Legacy of ten thousand eons, and the Righteous Path flourishes!"

"How can such a Demonic Sect be allowed to run rampant?"

"Today, we Cultivators, upholding the Heavenly Dao and following the will of the people, shall unite our efforts to eliminate these demonic evildoers!"

"In this battle, we must eradicate that Demonic Wending Sect root and branch, and restore peace and order to our Qinggu Heaven Domain!"

A moment of silence fell over the crowd, followed by a thunderous roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami raging!

"Eliminate the Demonic Sect!"

"Destroy Wending!"

"Eliminate the Demonic Sect!"

"Destroy Wending!"

“...”

The sound waves shook the heavens, and their Aura was like a rainbow.

Behind the high platform, in a secret space isolated by a Formation, four True Immortals watched the commotion outside with cold eyes.

Besides the purple-clothed female Immortal and the black-robed Cultivator, there were two other True Immortal powerhouses.

The purple-clothed female Immortal covered her mouth and chuckled, "Oh... Old Ghost Han's words are truly righteous. If This Immortal didn't know the inside story, I would have been moved too."

The black-robed Cultivator chimed in, his voice hoarse: "Heh heh, the strong make the rules. If we say Wending Sect is a Demonic Sect, then it is a Demonic Sect, even if it isn't! Once we obtain that Origin secret technique, who would dare to speak out?"

Old Ghost Han's figure quietly appeared in the space, as if the passionate shouts outside had nothing to do with him.

His expression was calm, even a little cold.

"No need for idle talk."

"The time has come. Now, more than half of Yuxian Continent's forces have been gathered. Under our command, who among the Six Continents of Qinggu, besides the Three Great Academies, would dare to disobey?"

"Speaking of the Academies, this matter is indeed strange." Mentioning the Three Great Academies, another person frowned slightly: "Especially Taiqing Academy. Their Core Disciple Zhao Qian clearly died in the hands of Wending Sect, yet they have made no move to this day. We don't know what they are plotting, and we must be wary."

"Them?"

The black-robed Cultivator snorted coldly: "They merely want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hoping that our five major forces and Wending Sect will suffer heavy losses, so they can reap the benefits!"

"Just like the Meng Family in Canglan Continent, who has always bided their time—their intentions are malicious!"

A cold light flashed in Old Ghost Han's eyes: "Before, I wanted to instigate the Meng Family to act first, but I didn't expect them to be able to endure to such an extent."

"However, the general trend is with us now, so we don't need to bother with them!"

"Let them continue to wait. Once we flatten Wending Sect and obtain that immortal secret technique, and our Divine Souls become immortal... we will crush them in one fell swoop!"

He said no more, turned, and stepped out of the secret space, reappearing on the high platform. Facing the endless army below, he dramatically waved his sleeve:

"Depart! Our target, Canglan Continent—flatten the Demonic Wending Sect!"

"Woo—woo—woo—"

A desolate and majestic horn sound, like the roar of an ancient beast, echoed through the sky.

Countless warships slowly set off.

Numerous streaks of light shot into the sky, like a reverse-flowing river of stars, carrying an Aura of destruction, pressing majestically towards Canglan Continent.

The Immortal Alliance's demon extermination army had departed!

The sky above Qinggu Heaven Domain suddenly turned gloomy... Wending Sect, Qingyun Main Hall.

Lin Chen sat high above, his fingers gently tapping the gilded armrest, listening to Yu Xuanji's report below.

When he heard the words "five major forces of Yuxian Continent," a flicker of understanding, then icy coldness, flashed in his eyes.

"So it's these few rats hiding in the gutters, spreading rumors and slandering my Wending Sect."

Lin Chen's voice was not loud, but the temperature in the hall plummeted.

Fairy Li Meng, beside him, had clear, cold eyes and interjected: "Sect Master, these five major forces have a long Legacy and their strength is second only to the Three Great Academies."

"Tens of millions of years ago, their founding Old Ancestors were all high-level True Immortals, and they made great contributions to the Qinggu Heaven Domain in the Heaven Domain War."

"I didn't expect their descendants to be so despicable now, using such vile methods to covet what belongs to our Sect."

"Hmph!" Lin Chen snorted coldly, his Killing Intent chilling: "No matter what they are plotting, since they dare to tarnish my Wending Sect's name, they must be prepared to pay the price!"

Almost as his voice fell, the System prompt sounded—

[Ding! The mission target has been locked. Annihilate the five major forces: Tiansha Sect, Xuanyin Sect, Blood Saber Gate, Five Poisons Cult, and Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave to complete the mission!]

[Old Ancestor of Tiansha Sect, Han Gu, Peak True Immortal.]

[Old Ancestor of Xuanyin Sect, You Ji, Late Stage True Immortal.]

[Old Ancestor of Blood Saber Gate, Furious Bloody Saber, Late Stage True Immortal.]

[Old Ancestor of Five Poisons Cult, Du Wanren, Late Stage True Immortal.]

[Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, Ghost Abyss, Late Stage True Immortal.]

The information on the enemy's top combat power was clearly listed on the light screen.

Lin Chen glanced at it, a mocking curve playing on his lips: "One Peak True Immortal, four Late Stage True Immortals?"

"With just this much strength, they dare to come and condemn my Wending Sect?"

"Who gave them the courage?"

He reined in his smile, his expression stern, and his gaze swept over the high-level Sect members gathered in the hall—Chu Nansheng, Jiang Limeng, Yu Xuanji, Xu Wenxian, Li Tiangang, the Sweeping Monk, as well as Liu the Half-Immortal, Night Owl, Ling Wuying, Yue Shan, Gu Qingtian, and others.

On everyone's faces, there was both tension and excitement.

"We just received definite news."

Lin Chen's voice echoed clearly throughout the great hall.

"These five major forces of Yuxian Continent have openly declared my Wending Sect to be Demonic Path, and have assembled more than half of Yuxian Continent's Sect forces to form the so-called 'Demon Extermination Alliance Army,' which is now marching majestically towards my Canglan Continent, vowing to flatten my Wending Sect!"

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose.

"Everyone, tell me, how should my Wending Sect deal with these mere clowns?"

Boom—!

The hall instantly erupted with sky-high Battle Intent and a murderous Aura!

"Mere ants, daring to shake the heavens? Please, Sect Master, issue your decree! This Xu is willing to be the vanguard and slay all invading enemies!"

Xu Wenxian was the first to step forward, his Sword Intent soaring, his voice like the clang of metal.

"This old man has received great kindness from the Sect Master and was just worried about having no place to use his skills!"

"In this battle, these petty villains will surely know that my Wending Sect cannot be insulted!"

Li Tiangang's hair bristled, his Middle Stage True Immortal Aura completely unhidden.

Though Fairy Li Meng said nothing, cold Qi emanated from her, and faint frost had already condensed on the ground beneath her feet.

Yu Xuanji lightly fanned himself with his feather fan, but his eyes were sharp as blades.

Night Owl and the others were even more eager to fight, their Killing Intent surging.

"Please, Sect Master, issue your decree and crush the invaders in one fell swoop!"

"Those who offend my Wending Sect, no matter how far, shall be punished!"

The crowd was in high spirits, roaring in unison, their voices almost tearing off the roof of the hall.

Lin Chen looked at the excited crowd and slowly stood up.

A vast Aura, far surpassing that of a Peak True Immortal, like an awakened ancient Dragon, instantly enveloped the entire Wending Sect and even spread further into the surrounding world.

His gaze, like lightning, looked towards Yuxian Continent. His voice was calm, yet carried the supreme majesty of deciding life and death: "Good! Since they are so eager to die, This Sect Master shall grant their wish!"

"Send down the order: Wending Sect—engage the enemy!"
