Chapter 511: Chapter 511

「Lindong Dao Domain!」

At the moment, there was chaos everywhere. Countless Martial Artists were fleeing with their families overnight, all too aware that this place would become a battlefield once the Great Qin Saint’s Court and Wanyao Saint’s Court went to war. If the Wanyao Saint’s Court captured this place, it could serve as a frontline headquarters, launching a strong attack on the East Border through a Super Spatial Passage! If the Great Qin Saint’s Court occupied this place, it could directly invade the Middle Region!

"Alas! We sit at home, but disaster rains down from the sky!"

At the eastern end of the Lindong Dao Domain, there was a group of magnificent and luxurious palaces. They were rather extravagant, using Spirit Stones for paving roads, Spirit Wood for columns and beams, and Spirit Flowers as decorations...

In the central hall, several Martial Artists dressed in splendid robes sat on chairs, their faces etched with worry. This sect was known as the Shuijian Sect, the ruler of the Lindong Dao Domain, and had been in existence, passed down for three eras!

When danger loomed, ordinary Martial Artists could escape, but could they? Could they easily abandon the foundation left by their ancestors?

"Sect Master, the Taiyi Saint’s Court has issued an ultimatum, demanding we resist the Great Qin Saint’s Court’s invasion alongside them, or face destruction. What should we do?" a panic-stricken elder asked.

Neither the Great Qin Saint’s Court nor the Taiyi Saint’s Court was an entity they could afford to provoke.

"Grand Elder, what are your thoughts?" the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect, who was seated in the main seat, asked, lightly rubbing his forehead, his head aching terribly.

"Sect Master, the Great Qin Saint’s Court is far in the East Border and might not be able to invade the Middle Region. However, the Taiyi Saint’s Court is our neighbor; they can reach us within a day. In my opinion, we should pledge allegiance to the Taiyi Saint’s Court!" The Grand Elder was an old man, emitting an aura of decay, giving one the sense of impending death.

"The Taiyi Saint’s Court is a power in the Middle Region. By allying with them, we can at least ensure the survival of our lineage!"

"Indeed! The Imperial Ancestor has already led a large army forth. If we don’t pledge allegiance to the Taiyi Saint’s Court, we’ll likely face millions of troops by tomorrow morning!"

The remaining elders chimed in agreement. In their view, defying the Taiyi Saint’s Court would undoubtedly lead to death. Even if the Great Qin Saint’s Court was strong, it was a force from the East Border, and it would take time for them to attack. The Taiyi Saint’s Court, however, was different; the two sides were adjacent, and they had already deployed troops.

"Since that is the case, let us pledge ourselves to the Taiyi Saint’s Court!"

Hearing the elders’ counsel, the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect found their reasoning sound and made his decision.

But at that very moment, the ground trembled violently, and a terrifying aura surged from the east.

"What’s happening?" The Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect stood up, walked out of the main hall in a slight panic, and scanned the surroundings. He noticed a city to the east emitting a blinding white light, followed by an endless surge of blood-red radiance that pierced the heavens.

His face turned deathly pale. Inside that city was the Super Spatial Passage leading to the East Border. The intense fighting could only mean one thing: the Great Qin Saint’s Court had arrived.

Something’s not right!

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect abruptly turned his head and glared viciously at the elders behind him. His eyes blazed with murderous intent, giving him a predatory look. When the Great Qin Saint’s Court and Wanyao Saint’s Court had declared war, he had immediately ordered the Super Spatial Passage closed. But the current scene clearly indicated that the Super Spatial Passage had been reopened! And within the entire Shuijian Sect, the only ones who could order the spatial passage opened were himself and the elders!

"Who was it? Who ordered the spatial passage opened?" the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect snarled.

A traitor within the sect...

The elders looked at each other, suspicion in their eyes, but no one stepped forward to confess. For a moment, the atmosphere was deadlocked. Dıscover more novels at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

"Sect Master, please lead the disciples immediately to resist the Great Qin Saint’s Court’s invasion! Furthermore, we must dispatch envoys at once to request aid from the Taiyi Saint’s Court!"

In the end, it was the Grand Elder who broke the deadlock, bowing as he spoke.

"Grand Elder, go quickly to the Taiyi Saint’s Court and request reinforcements!" The Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect regained his composure. His sharp gaze swept over the assembled elders before finally settling on the Grand Elder, to whom he solemnly entrusted this task. At this point, the Grand Elder was the only one he felt he could trust.

"Rest assured, Sect Master!" The Grand Elder saluted respectfully and flew west. In the blink of an eye, he became a black speck in the distance and vanished.

"All disciples, hear my command! Follow me into battle! Defend our sect! Repel the invaders!" The Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect drew his battle sword and bellowed. With a single step, he shot towards the city at incredible speed, like a fleeting shadow.

"Kill!" Each of the elders soared into the air, weapons in hand.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Ten million disciples of the Shuijian Sect, their faces filled with Evil Qi, followed closely behind their Sect Master and elders—a vast, imposing sea of people.

Meanwhile, within the city, Li Jing was commanding three million Xuanjia Army soldiers to swiftly slaughter the defending forces. Everywhere they passed, they left behind nothing but heaps of corpses. Blood stained the silver armor of the Xuanjia Army. The endless slaughter quickly turned the once-flourishing city desolate.

Before long, even before the Shuijian Sect’s reinforcements arrived, the Xuanjia Army had occupied the city. The banner of the Great Qin Saint’s Court was raised on the highest tower of the city wall.

This is a perfect opportunity to hone the Xuanjia Army!

Li Jing stood atop the city wall, gazing at the enemy army approaching in the distance, a cold smile playing on his lips. He more than welcomed someone to act as a whetstone. Just as Qin Wudao had thought, the Xuanjia Army possessed formidable strength, sharp weaponry, and the ability to deploy terrifying battle formations; the only thing they lacked was the experience of true slaughter. How can a tiger that has never tasted blood hunt in the forest?

A quarter of an hour later, the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect finally led his disciples to the outskirts of the city. Gazing at the fallen city, his expression flickered. Should we fight? Or not?

"Give the order! Kill them!"

But Li Jing swiftly made the choice for him.

Three million Xuanjia Army soldiers flew out from the city in perfect formation, brandishing blood-soaked spears. Their momentum was awe-inspiring as they initiated a fierce charge.

As they drew near, a general roared, "Hurl!"

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

Three million spears tore through the air with a deafening shriek, shattering a large expanse of the Void. As if guided, they shot towards the Shuijian Sect disciples. The spears moved with incredible speed, like streaks of light—too fast for anyone to react!

Instantly, countless Shuijian Sect disciples were struck. The violent force of the spears tore their bodies asunder. Even a graze was fatal.

Showers of blood rained down!

Wave after wave of bodies fell to the ground!

Watching a third of his disciples perish in the blink of an eye, the Sect Master of the Shuijian Sect felt his lips tremble. Sorrow, fear, and terror flooded his heart. I have a strong premonition... Perhaps I’ve made the wrong choice! The strength of the Great Qin Saint’s Court is no empty boast! They dared to declare war on the Wanyao Saint’s Court, Beidou Palace, and the Taiyi Saint’s Court; they must be confident of victory!

The three million Xuanjia Army soldiers cared little for the Shuijian Sect Master’s thoughts. Each drew another spear from their spatial storage, roaring as they charged anew. Their battle cries shook the eight wildernesses and the nine heavens.
