584: Chapter 584 Three Forces

Xuan Yangzi pondered for a moment, the calculation in his eyes gradually fading as he said in a deep voice:

"All True Immortals, Void Immortals, and Saint Realm Cultivators, step forward! Do not delay, or else, you shall be executed!"

The group of Cultivators trembled all over, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Someone tremblingly looked up, eyes flickering as they tested the waters in a small voice:

"Sect... Sect Master, if we step forward, can... can we beg for your mercy? We are willing to pledge our loyalty to the Azure Profound Sect unto death, with no second thoughts!"

Only after speaking did they dare to slowly stand up, moving forward with trembling steps, every step like walking on thin ice.

Their eyes were filled with fear and unease, fearing that a single mistake would cost them their heads.

Over a hundred Void Immortals, three True Immortals, and three thousand Saint Realm Cultivators formed a messy yet orderly line.

Each one lowered their head and averted their gaze, not even daring to breathe loudly; the fear around them was almost palpable.

Xuan Yangzi's cold gaze swept over all the Cultivators who had stepped forward. A mark as black as ink, the Soul-Snatching Mark, slowly condensed at his fingertips.

A strange and powerful Divine Soul pressure lingered above the mark, causing palpitations and making the surrounding air turn stagnant.

Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand—Soul-Seizing Technique.

Thousands of marks darted out like ghosts, landing accurately on the center of the brow of every True Immortal, Void Immortal, and Saint Realm Cultivator.

The moment the marks entered their bodies, the Cultivators stiffened violently.

After a moment, the pain on their faces gradually faded. Their eyes no longer held the previous fear and humility, leaving only absolute obedience.

Xuan Yangzi looked away from them and turned to the Elders behind him, giving orders in a deep voice:

"Take men to guard the Spiritual Vein. Carefully inventory all treasures, ancient texts, and immortal medicines. Stabilize the situation of the Chiyang Sect; there must not be the slightest mistake!"

"Yes!" The Elders responded in unison and immediately began to move with their men.

At that moment, Xiao Hei on Xiao Ruobai's shoulder suddenly twitched its ears, a flash of sharpness appearing in its eyes.

Its Divine Sense quietly spread out once more, sweeping across the three major forces of Myriad Beast Mountain, Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and Xuan Yin Sect, taking in all the movements of the three Sects.

A moment later, it lazily rubbed against Xiao Ruobai's shoulder, and a faint Divine Sense message was transmitted into Xuan Yangzi's mind.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yangzi's expression suddenly turned cold, and the immortal power around him instantly became piercingly sharp.

His gaze, which had softened slightly just now, was now covered with a bone-chilling coldness.

He slowly looked up toward the direction of the three major Sects, his gaze like lightning, as if it could penetrate thousands of miles of clouds to reach the main halls of the three Sects.

"Pass down the order: rest for three days. In three days, we march on Myriad Beast Mountain!"

Xuan Yangzi's voice was like a thunderclap, echoing through the entire Chiyang Sect and carrying into the distance.

"Within three days, dispatch Disciples to hunt down all remaining remnants of the Chiyang Sect. We must pull them up by the roots to ensure no future troubles.

At the same time, inventory all resources of the Chiyang Sect and prepare for the campaign!"

"What? Rest for three days?"

Hearing this, Shi Wanshan immediately grew anxious. Carrying his spiked club, he stepped forward and started shouting with a grin.

"Sect Master! Speed is of the essence in war! We should strike while those three major Sects are unprepared, catch them off guard—it'll be much easier!"

As soon as Shi Wanshan finished speaking, several Azure Profound Sect Elders also stepped forward to agree, their faces full of bellicosity:

"Sect Master, Elder Shi is right! Our morale is high, and the Azure Profound Sect's combat power is overwhelming. Why waste three days?

It's better to set out immediately, sweep through the three major Sects, and flatten the Chengyun Immortal Domain as soon as possible!"

Seeing everyone looking like they couldn't wait to fight, a faint smile flickered in Xuan Yangzi's eyes.

"What's the rush? There will be plenty of fights for you; there's no need to hurry for this moment."

After saying that, he looked up at the horizon, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth as he muttered to himself:

"Giving you three days... it should be enough, right?"

Everyone was stunned. Though they didn't understand Xuan Yangzi's intention, they didn't dare say more and could only bow and reply, "We obey the Sect Master's command!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The situation in the Chiyang Sect was completely stabilized, and the remaining remnants of the Chiyang Sect were wiped out.

The more than three thousand Cultivators had also been integrated, and the morale of the Azure Profound Sect Disciples grew even stronger.

On this day, the qing ming boat rose again with momentum, its immortal might vast and blotting out the sun.

Xuan Yangzi stood at the bow, his gaze cold as he waved his hand:

"March!!"

The qing ming boat slowly started, carrying overwhelming immortal power and killing intent as it sped toward Myriad Beast Mountain.

In just half a day, the qing ming boat arrived outside the mountain gate of Myriad Beast Mountain, the massive warship suspended in mid-air.

The mountain trembled slightly, and even the exotic beasts in the mountains stopped their roaring, showing endless terror.

Inside the mountain gate, the people of Myriad Beast Mountain were already prepared as if facing a great enemy. Tens of thousands of Cultivators held beast whips, lining up on both sides of the gate, followed by over a hundred high-level exotic beasts, their aura tense.

Five Earth Immortal experts of Myriad Beast Mountain stood side by side atop the mountain gate, their immortal power circulating secretly, their expressions so solemn they looked like they could drip water.

Instead of the expected furious charge, the Sect Master of Myriad Beast Mountain held a Beast Bone Scepter.

He was the first to step out of the mountain gate, cupping his hands toward the qing ming boat, his tone carrying a hint of restraint and testing, even showing a trace of humility:

"Fellow Daoists, my Myriad Beast Mountain has always kept to itself. Today, I ask the Sect Master to show mercy.

My Myriad Beast Mountain is willing to mind its own business and cooperate amicably with your noble Sect!"

Xuan Yangzi's cold gaze swept toward the Sect Master of Myriad Beast Mountain atop the gate. His tone was calm, and his voice penetrated the immortal might.

It clearly reached the ears of every Myriad Beast Mountain Cultivator: "No need to put on an act. Let the people hiding in the back come out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the Myriad Beast Mountain Sect Master changed drastically, his pupils shrinking suddenly as he looked up at Xuan Yangzi:

"You actually found out? Then let's see who's superior in action!"

Before his voice could fade, several powerful auras swept out from the back of Myriad Beast Mountain.

Cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and Xuan Yin Sect filed out, lining up on both sides of Myriad Beast Mountain.

Six Earth Immortals from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion had their robes fluttering, their Sword Intent cold and stern, while the Sword Qi of dozens of True Immortal Sword Cultivators hummed around them.

Five Earth Immortals from the Xuan Yin Sect had dark, sinister faces, surrounded by black Qi, with over thirty True Immortals following closely behind.

The three forces completely merged. With a tide of Cultivators and overwhelming immortal might, their momentum seemed enough to shake the mountains and move the earth.

But the wariness in every Cultivator's eyes was hard to hide, and even their backs were tensed up.

Only because the feat of those five Earth Immortal Old Ancestors of the Azure Profound Sect joining forces to kill a Heavenly Immortal three days ago was too terrifying.

But just as this wariness was about to crush everyone, the news revealed by that mysterious visitor suddenly flashed through their minds:

"The Immortal Lord is coming!"

The fear in their eyes faded slightly, and their backs instinctively straightened a bit.

When they looked up again at the people of the Azure Profound Sect on the qing ming boat, there was more confidence and a desperate ruthlessness in their eyes, no longer the previous panic and weakness.

"The three major Sects?"

On the qing ming boat, Shi Wanshan was the first to be stunned. His hand carrying the spiked club paused slightly, and the impatience on his face was instantly replaced by surprise.

Then he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted angrily, his voice making the surrounding air hum:

"What?! The scumbags from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and Xuan Yin Sect are here too?! You guys were hiding quite deep!"

After being stunned for less than half a breath, his surprise turned entirely into wild joy. His eyes sparkled as he leaped up with his spiked club, his immortal power surging.

"Good, good! It saves me the trouble of running around to find you one by one later. Today, I'll take care of you all at once, smash your dog heads, and have a satisfying fight!"

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and the others also narrowed their eyes, their auras quietly surging as their Battle Intent rose.

Since the three major forces had come out in full strength, they might as well solve it all at once and completely clear the obstacles in the Chengyun Immortal Domain.
