Profound Darkness Sect.
“Brother Zhang, have you gained anything on this trip?”
After learning that Zhang Danyang and Chang Fei had returned, the Sect Leader of the Profound Darkness Sect personally went out to meet them.
There was no choice; the Demon Suppression Army was pressing on their boundaries, occupying nearly a quarter of their domain in the Profound Darkness Domain and was about to force their way to the main base of the Profound Darkness Sect. The crisis was imminent.
If the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, a former fierce rival, were to stab them in the back, the Profound Darkness Sect would face enemies from both front and rear.
“The mastermind behind the South Valley City issue is just a Rune Seed Realm insect. However, his Divine Ability is quite bizarre. I originally intended to capture and study him, but he turned out to be a decisive person, willing to self-detonate his Rune Seed rather than be captured alive by me.”
Zhang Danyang spoke casually, still feeling regretful as he thought of Han Feng’s resolute self-destruction under his own immense Divine Ability.
To someone as strong as him, a Rune Seed Realm cultivator was indeed not much different from an insect.
However, Han Feng’s Divine Ability was quite peculiar, as he devoured the life force and blood of more than 100,000 people under Zhang Danyang’s watch, thus strengthening himself.
Zhang was also quite curious about such a Divine Ability.
“So, does this man have anything to do with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?”
The Sect Leader of the Profound Darkness Sect asked further.
“Sect Leader, this matter should have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.” At this time, Chang Fei timely spoke up.
“Zhang Danyang and I personally went to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and found that they were also targets of the Morigin Demon Suppression Army. At this moment, they are busy dealing with a powerful Demon Suppression Army legion and would not take the initiative to offend our Profound Darkness Sect.”
At this moment, Zhang Danyang also nodded: “I originally wanted to see if we could bring the Ten Thousand Demons Sect into our camp, but it seems that they are struggling as well.”
Seeing this, the Profound Darkness Sect Leader’s face instantly revealed a relieved expression.
Originally worried that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was causing trouble behind their backs, they suddenly discovered that their rivals were also in the same predicament, which not only gave them a sigh of relief but also brought inexplicable comfort to their hearts.
“Sect Leader, on my way here, I heard that Dark Cloud Manor has fallen, along with Bright Splendor Prefecture, Maple Forest Prefecture, and Sun Blaze Prefecture, which have almost fallen into the hands of the Demon Suppression Army. When will our Profound Darkness Sect counterattack?”
Hearing this, the Profound Darkness Sect Leader looked at Zhang Danyang and said, “I have a plan in mind, but I still need to discuss it with Celestial Master Zhang.”
Zhang Danyang said, “My Dragon Tiger Mountain has been trampled by the Demon Suppression Army, and now I wander like a rootless duckweed, hoping to resolve the current disaster and rebuild my mountain gate. If Sect Leader Ling has any strategies, please feel free to share.”
In the end, his face was full of indignation.
For a thousand years, Dragon Tiger Mountain lost its mountain gate to Morigin twice, which deepened his hatred for Morigin.
But he also knew that with Dragon Tiger Mountain’s strength, trying to resist the Morigin Demon Suppression Army was undoubtedly like striking a rock with an egg.
The Demon Suppression Army was too powerful; just one legion was enough to sweep a region, and two legions forced both Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Profound Darkness Sect to retract their power.
For this reason, he had to be cautious.
The Sect Leader of the Profound Darkness Sect nodded and said, “In that case, let us summon the True Masters of the Golden Core Realm from both parties to discuss together in the main hall.”
“Alright.”
After leaving Flat Hill City, Battlecruiser 18 directly sailed into South Nether Prefecture.
South Nether Prefecture was home to three major sects: the Sky Brilliance Sect, Cloud Jade Pavilion, and Rashamon Sect.
Among them, the Sky Brilliance Sect had the strongest overall strength.
According to the information obtained by the Demon Suppression Army, the Sky Brilliance Sect had three Rune Seed Realm powerhouses.
Sect Master Gongsun Xuerong, Rune Seed Realm mid-stage, barely had the combat power of the Rune Seed Realm late-stage with the help of the sect’s treasure.
Supreme Elder Li Quanshou, Rune Seed Realm mid-stage, had been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years at this realm and was on the verge of breaking through.
Second Supreme Elder Guan Daozhou, Rune Seed Realm early stage.
Although Guan Daozhou was weak in combat, he was a Seventh Grade Alchemist and very wealthy.
It was precisely for this reason that Lu Yun decided to target the Sky Brilliance Sect.
Only Earth Rank Demon Extermination Generals and above were aware of this information. Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals and lower were not qualified to know it.
If people like Ye Xuan and Qing Hou knew that they were about to face such a powerful foundation of the Sky Brilliance Sect, they would probably not be so spirited and high-spirited.
During these days, following Lu Yun, everything had been smooth sailing, almost without encountering any strong enemies.
Even if there were, they were all killed instantly by Lu Yun, with Ye Xuan, Qing Hou, and others following behind to cheer and clean up the aftermath. They had accumulated many military merits and would receive many rewards once the battle was over.
Moreover, as long as they reached the Rune Seed Realm, they could advance further.
Now, seeing the exuberant and battle-spirited Demon Extermination Generals under his command, Lu Yun smiled faintly.
These Demon Extermination Generals, in normal times, were each proud and rebellious. But after showing off a few of his skills and killing a few Rune Seed Realm powerhouses, he had completely subdued them.
Thinking of this, Lu Yun felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Unfortunately, neither Ye Xuan nor Qing Hou had strong potential. At most, they would reach the Rune Seed Realm, unable to catch up with his progress in the future.
Regaining his composure, Lu Yun prepared to return to cultivation.
They had just entered South Nether Prefecture, and the Sky Brilliance Sect was still tens of thousands of miles away, so it would take some time to get there.
Inside a large mountain, a dozen strands of rainbow light converged.
These rainbow lights were each a different color, and within them stood a figure.
As the rainbow lights receded, these people, men and women, all over forty years old, had different temperaments; some were as sharp as sword radiance, others steady as a rock or as cunning as a jackal.
Moreover, each of them had an incredibly powerful aura, with the weakest being in the late stage of the Golden Body Realm, while the rest were in the peak of the Golden Body Realm or the Half-step Rune Seed Realm..
