Since the fall of the Emperor of Extremity, the Great Void Sect had never suffered an indignation like today’s.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, the Great Void Sect could at least ensure that they still possessed autonomy. In terms of strategy, they had never caught in a situation where both outcomes were bad.
To the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man, this was an alien feeling. This made their normally-calm heart panicky as well.
Lin Feng stared coldly at both and said, “For many things, victors and losers are determined based on one’s capabilities. Don’t blame them.”
“However, there are some things that are out-of-bounds. You cannot overstep your boundaries and once you do so, there is nothing much that we could discuss. Once you exceeded these boundaries, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Lin Feng waved his hands. Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Li Yuanfang and the rest landed next to him.
He looked at Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao. Wang Lin held the sickly-looking King Chujiang in his hand and in the ball of Qi in Shi Tianhao’s hands, there were a man and a woman.
“Where had my disciple’s parents been and why were they in the hands of a Hallmaster of the Hall of the Dead?” Lin Feng pointed to the two balls of Qi as he stared at the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man. “Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence. You will need a long time to cast a spell formation in the Barren Expanses without alerting the demons, which means that you planned it way before this b*stard caught his parents.”
The Tai Yi Holy Man fell silent as he ‘looked’ intensely at Lin Feng and said, “Leader of the Celestial Sect, as things have progressed to this step, I have nothing else to say. Our sect will be responsible for our actions. I just hope that you can consider the bigger picture.”
Lin Feng said plainly, “I’m neither Yan Xinghe nor Wen Chiyang.”
“Some people can take into consideration the bigger picture whole-heartedly, I can do the same too.”
“Some people want war, I shall give them war.”
The Tai Yi Holy Man nodded his head and sighed quietly. The light from the Supreme Heavenly Mirror shone brighter and brighter. Soon, it enveloped both the Zheng Yi Holy Man and him, both of whom soon disappeared.
Following the mirror light, they flew along the ‘path’ of destruction toward the Black Sea. Time was tight, and they could not afford any delay.
Under these circumstances, the Great Void Sect could only battle against the dragons to save their compatriots.
The Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man looked back, and they noticed the purple clouds slowly spreading apart. The purple clouds soon enveloped that part of the Barren Expanses.
They sighed once more and then disappeared completely.
Days later, a piece of news shook the entire Grand Celestial World, including the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses.
The Great Void Sect invaded the Black Sea and other than the Xuan Yi Holy Man, who remained on Mount Baiyun, the Tai Yi Holy Man, the Zheng Yi Holy Man and the Qing Yi Holy Woman all entered the Black Sea to wage war against the dragons.
Other than the three elders, the Xuan Lin Holy Man, Yun Yuanzhen, Cai Fengzhou, the Yu Yuan Holy Woman and Wu Mengqi, who are all members of the Supreme Elder Council, all entered the Black Sea.
Many powerful cultivators of the Great Void Sect led this expeditionary attack against the dragons.
When news spread, the entire Grand Celestial World was in an uproar. The superficial calm was shattered and the raging undercurrents all burst forth at once like a tsunami.
From the moment the Supreme Heavenly Mirror left Mount Baiyun and triggered a tremor that could be felt between the heavens and earth, everyone began to pay attention to the subsequent developments.
Other than Lin Feng, everyone was shocked on how was such a large area in the Barren Expanses destroyed after the Tai Yi Holy Man left the Great Void Sect with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.
The powerful demons too did not dare to approach. However, all of them paid special attention to the destroyed void space. They could feel the tense situation amidst the purple clouds there.
Ultimately, the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders did not come to blows. Instead, the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Zheng Yi Holy Man rushed into the Black Sea.
Some demons were disappointed that the two most powerful human sects did not attack each other but instead, targeted the dragons instead. Others whooped in joy.
The demons of the Barren Expanses were slow to react. They were not interested in helping the dragons break free from the Great Void Sect’s encirclement. With the Supreme Heavenly Mirror present, the price to pay for trying to defeat the Great Void Sect was still too high.
Some were delighted that the Great Void Sect was weakening the dragons.
However, this did not mean that they would just sit by and watch. Instead, their attention was focused elsewhere.
For example, Mount Taihua, which was occupied by the Great Void Sect and located in an extremely strategic location within the Barren Expanses.
Mount Taihua was connected to the Divine Lands through an inter-world passage and tightly connected to Mount Baiyun. At this moment, with many powerful Great Void Sect cultivators in the Black Sea, Mount Taihua was naturally empty.
It was easy to return from the entrance of the Black Sea. However, if they entered deep into the Black Sea, then it would be harder for them to return.
What made many shocked was the fact that first to respond this situation in the entire Grand Celestial World was the Phoenix Tribe. However, for those who knew more, this was within expectations.
As the Origins Celestial Dragon was still recovering, the Great Void Sect’s invasion at that moment was perceived as a low-blow by the Phoenix and the Divine Parasol Tree, both of whom were deeply unhappy.
If it had been anyone else, then it was still fine. However, the Phoenix Tribe and the Divine Parasol Tree Tribe were allied to the dragons. While they disagreed on many issues, this act went against their principles and hence, the Phoenix responded first.
When news that the Phoenix Grand Sage was approaching the Black Sea, the Great Void Sect felt even more pressurized.
After the Phoenix Grand Sage responded, the many other powers in the Grand Celestial World responded as well.
In the skies above the Barren Expanses, a hole started to open in void space. The edge of the void space was watery-blue and dazzled. It appeared extremely beautiful.
In the center of the watery-blue world, one could see a barefoot young woman. She was the disciple of the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, Long Ye.
Next to her crouched a big, black wolf. One of his eyes was closed and the other one was open, revealing a blood-red pupil. In his eye, one could see an ocean of blood and a mountain of bones.
The black wolf opened his mouth to reveal a mouth of fangs. He was extremely vicious and cruel, striking fear into all who saw him. This was the Sirius Grand Sage.
Next to the Sirius Grand Sage, there was a demon with the head of a human and the body of a leopard. His ears were like those of a cow and he only had one eye. When he walked, he held his tail in his mouth. When he was motionless, he curled his tail around him. This was the most powerful demon under the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the Zhujian Grand Sage.
Next to the Zhujian Grand Sage, there was an odd snake. The snake had one head and two bodies, six legs and four wings. The snake was a Feiyi.
Next to the Feiyi Grand Sage, there was an old turtle. The turtle’s back was filled with the scars of time and many mystical, circular runes.
The old turtle, like the Sirius Grand Sage and the Feiyi Grand Sage, was an Undying Demon Soul Third Level demon. Immensely old, he was a member of the Rotary Turtle Tribe. He was red and black and he had the head of a bird and a snake for a tail.
Like the Xuanming, the Zang Turtle Tribe, the Rotary Turtle was an impure descendant of the Xuanwu.
The demons all gave way and a blurry, humanoid figure stepped out from the watery-blue world. From head to toe, all one could see was a pair of bright pupils.
This blurry humanoid figure was soon the center of the demons’ attention. Everyone bowed slightly to her.
She was naturally the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The Feiyi Grand Sage bowed and said, “Charms Empress…”
He did not say it directly, but everyone knew that the Feiyi Tribe missed their ancestral home, Mount Taihua.
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage said in a low voice, “Don’t rush, Zhecheng. While it’s not likely that the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror are in the Black Sea as a ruse or a trick, there’s another power from the Divine Lands that we had to consider.”
Th Feiyi Grand Sage said quietly, “The Celestial Sect of Wonders.”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage nodded her head and said, “The Celestial Sect of Wonders is now as powerful as the Great Void Sect with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. They are even more adaptable, and no one knows what Lin Feng is thinking.”
“While the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders are not cordial with one another, no one knows how will the Celestial Sect react if we attack Mount Taihua now.”
The Feiyi Grand Sage’s face betrayed an unhappy look. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage looked at him and said, “Relax, everything will be made known soon. It will take some time before the battle between the Great Void Sect and the dragons end. Once we see what the Celestial Sect is going to do next, we will act.”
At the same time, in the Lingyuan Mountains of the Ancient Ape Demons, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage looked at the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s face cracked into a smile as he said, “You take care of the Lingyuan Mountains and I will bring our tribe to Mount Shu. Their relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders is even worse than the Great Void Sect’s. In that time, we shall see how the Celestial Sect will react.”
In the extreme north of the Barren Expanses, void space split open too and a huge, golden-feathered roc could be seen. His two black eyes shone with an icy-cold, demonic gold light as he stared intensely at the direction of the Black Sea.
An elegant and cold peacock, whose entire body was azure-blue and who carried an exquisitely elaborate tail and gave off an odd, five-colored light appeared next to him and said, “Let’s ignore the dragons and the Great Void Sect for now. Neither we nor the apes are a match for the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders unless they battle at the Lingyuan Mountains or something.”
“The humans now have the initiative. We shall see what Lin Feng does next.”
The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at the Black Sea and said slowly, “His first target is either Heavenly Charms and I. Specifically, he is after the gates to the Starry Sea on our hands.”
“With three gates, he can forcibly shut another gate. With four, he can enter the Star Tomb,” said the Golden Roc Grand Sage as his gaze turned colder and deeper. “Lin Feng already has two right now.”
