656: Chapter 654 Annihilate the Heavenly Dao Alliance and Kill Zhou Fan!

"Grand Elder is right. Over the past two days, many powerful and mysterious experts with strange methods have emerged all over Cangyun," Qingcheng said in a deep voice.

"However, most of those people appear in forbidden lands and haven't intervened much in the disputes between factions. Furthermore, they only displayed strength at the Tianyuan Realm at most. I really didn't expect that someone would actually interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and even kill Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun..."

"It's truly hateful!" the Second Elder said angrily.

"We exhausted our efforts and painstakingly gathered the Luck of this world to cultivate Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun. We only had to wait for him to annihilate the Great Cang Dynasty, harness the momentum of the world, and condense the power of the world. Then, there would be hope to awaken the Will of Cangyun, helping our cultivation advance further and break free from the constraints of this world. But now, all our efforts have been wasted, and he just died like this!"

Sect Leader Zhihua snorted coldly. "I said it long ago. For such a grand plan, we needed to arrange at least one Shengyuan Realm expert to protect Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun to ensure everything would be foolproof. But you all refused. Now look, all our efforts have been in vain!"

"Sect Leader Zhihua, you are overstating things," the Second Elder said with a displeased expression.

"If we, as Shengyuan Realm experts, were to protect him, it would inevitably interfere with Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun gathering Luck. By the time he matured, the Cangyun Realm would have likely been devoured by demons long ago..."

Sect Leader Zhihua said coldly, "Then what is the result now? Our hope has been shattered. Can we possibly cultivate another Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun?"

"Enough! Our four Sects must watch over and help each other; we cannot have infighting because of this!" The Grand Elder waved his large sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Things have reached this point, and saying more is meaningless. There is only one path to remedy this! We... must enter the fray ourselves!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn, and they all looked toward the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and said with resonance:

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance possesses the Power Of Will of all living beings in this world. It must never fall into the hands of others. Regardless of who that Zhou Fan is, he must be killed!"

"It is not just Zhou Fan. The plan for the Son of Luck has already failed, so there is no need for the Heavenly Dao Alliance to continue existing!"

Qingcheng pondered slightly. "There are also demons lurking in the upper echelons of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. When Zhou Fan killed Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, he used some unknown trick or secret technique that turned Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun into a strange demon. I fear there is also the involvement of the Shendao Sect demons in this."

"That is inevitable!" Sect Leader Zhihua sneered.

"The Shendao Sect will never let go of such a great opportunity to control the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Once we act, I fear the Shendao Sect experts will pour out in full force, and even that mysterious Demon Lord might arrive in person!"

"Then let us simply... fight to the death!" The Grand Elder's gaze sharpened.

"Our hope has been shattered, and the time has come when we have no choice but to act. If we wait any longer and the Will of Cangyun completely sinks, we will never have another chance!"

"In this battle, we must not hold back our strength; we must give it our all!" the Second Elder said firmly.

"If we can use this opportunity to severely damage the demons, we might be able to buy some more time to re-cultivate another Son of Luck!"

Qingcheng suddenly added, "According to our experience in cultivating Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, as long as they do not die at the hands of demons, the more lives lost in this world, the more prosperous the Martial Luck between heaven and earth will be... In this battle, it is always good for more people to die. If we truly face the Demon Lord, we might have a few more chances of winning."

The Second Elder said loudly, "Since that is the case, let us gather the elites of our respective Sects and head to the Eastern State together. We must annihilate the Heavenly Dao Alliance in one fell swoop!"

"Good!" Sect Leader Zhihua said with a cold expression. "My Blood Shadow Sect still has a few Core Disciples remaining. I will have them all go to this battle."

Qingcheng laughed loudly. "That's right. Everyone below the Shengyuan Realm is an ant. They are just a few Disciples; even if they all die, as long as we are alive, the Sect will always exist."

Sect Leader Zhihua frowned and said, "It is a pity that Wei Wuque of the Yujian Sect has had no news and his whereabouts are unknown since he entered the Tianxing Sea Area to hunt down Zhang Ziyang and those other people from outside the region. If he could lead the remaining Disciples to assist us, our chances of winning would increase by a few more points..."

Speaking of Zhang Ziyang, Sect Leader Zhihua couldn't help but grit her teeth, the veins on her face throbbing. "Zhang Ziyang! My Blood Shadow Sect's mountain gate was completely destroyed because of this person. I really don't know what Wei Wuque is doing, to actually let that Zhang Ziyang escape time and time again..."

Qingcheng said coldly, "Compared to Zhang Ziyang, I am more concerned about that Chu Xuan who escaped back right under our noses. Not only did this brat survive your curse-killing technique, but he also escaped back right under our noses. Our plan to conquer that Small World and seize the Origin of the world was likely ruined by this person."

Sect Leader Zhihua snorted coldly. "If I meet this brat again, I will definitely kill him!"

"Alright, the tides in the Tianxing Sea Area have risen again and have not stopped yet. I fear Wei Wuque cannot make it back, so we don't need to wait for him anymore."

The Grand Elder waved his sleeve, his expression indifferent. "Don't forget, there are also other subordinate Sects that rely on us. Although their overall strength is relatively weak, when added together, they still have quite a few Guiyuan Realm Martial Artists.

"Additionally, we can order the Martial armies of the Great Cang Dynasty across various locations to attack the branches of the Heavenly Dao Alliance simultaneously, causing a greater extinction of living beings to help us increase our chances of winning!"

The Grand Elder's refined and kind face now showed complete sternness. "Success or failure hinges on this one move. Perhaps exterminating the living beings of this world can also awaken the Will of Cangyun. When that time comes, we will no longer need to cultivate a Son of Luck, and we may well be able to advance further!"

Everyone nodded in unison, all their eyes flashing with coldness.

"Then it is decided!"

"Annihilate the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"

"Kill Zhou Fan!"

"Decisive battle against the Shendao Sect!"

"If we can glimpse the realm of the Martial Ancestor, what does it matter if all the common people in the world die?!"

Boom!

As the three Grand Elders of the Cangyun Sect, the Sect Master of the Zhenwu Sect Qingcheng, and the Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Sect Sect Leader Zhihua—these five people—spoke and made their decision, it was as if heaven and earth sensed it, as thunder roared and rumbled endlessly.

Eastern State, Wu Kingdom, Tianshui Prefecture.

Heavenly Dao Alliance General Headquarters Secret Realm.

Boom—!!

When the last golden thunderbolt fell, the entire main peak was almost collapsed, and the surrounding buildings and trees were all incinerated by the lightning.

The crowd watching from afar had long been shocked beyond measure by this scene. They dared not imagine what kind of heaven-defying, resentment-inducing deed had been committed to suffer such Lightning Punishment. They all assumed that Chu Xuan had long since been struck to death by lightning inside.

However, when everything dissipated.

Everyone saw a figure trembling and climbing up from the ground, and they all stared wide-eyed, their hearts shaking violently.

Chu Xuan's body was charred black, large patches of skin peeling off. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. "It's finally over..."
