114: The Chen family follows and all parties pay attention
Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing and the other two lowered their heads before Jiang Mingyue, who had cultivated a sacred aura.
They all bowed to her in unison.
“We obey the Saintess’s command!”
With that, they bid farewell and departed.
They prepared to gather all the Blood Demon Sect Disciples and, according to Jiang Mingyue’s instructions, proceed to a location five hundred li north of the Chen Family.
They would construct a defensive line on the path of the approaching Anti-Demon Alliance.
This would serve as a vanguard force to resist the Anti-Demon Alliance’s attack.
When Chen Xuan heard this news, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
This Disciple of his.
She truly considered him and the Chen Family in every aspect.
She was actually afraid that the Chen family disciples would suffer heavy casualties when facing the Anti-Demon Alliance.
She specifically arranged for the relatively powerful Blood Demon Sect to set up a defensive line in advance.
In fact, doing so was a very correct choice.
After all, the Chen Family’s power was too weak now.
After annexing the three sects and one family, the number of Chen family disciples had greatly increased.
However, in terms of quality, it was very worrying.
There were only five Cultivators in the highest Nascent Soul Realm combined.
As for the Returning Void Realm Cultivators, who were the main force against the Anti-Demon Alliance this time, there were none.
To be precise, the opponent of the Anti-Demon Alliance.
From beginning to end, it was actually only the Blood Demon Sect, and the Chen Family was just an incidental addition.
If it weren't for the incident where Chen Xuan, who was suspected to be an Immortal Reincarnate, erupted with power and cut down Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of Kunwu Sect with a sword, it's likely that no one would have paid attention to this small Chen Family.
However, with Jiang Mingyue giving this order.
It was likely that the entire Blood Demon Sect would have objections.
They were allies; Supreme Elder Ren Tianxing and Supreme Elder Liu Xiangzi had previously helped the Chen Family eliminate the Kunwu Sect.
Later, they even assisted Chen Xuan in subduing the two sects and one family in the southern Qilian Mountains.
Making the Chen Family truly the sole hegemonic force in the southern Qilian Mountains region.
But now, they were actually being asked to face the Anti-Demon Alliance alone.
Regarding this, Chen Xuan stated.
The Chen Family must never cower in the face of crisis.
Therefore, he immediately summoned all the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators from the three sects, one family, and their own Chen Family, preparing to go and lend a hand to the Blood Demon Sect.
Except for Chen Teng.
He was too conspicuous.
He looked like a child, but his cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Moreover, this Chen Family Prodigy, who possessed the bearing of a Great Emperor, was the future of the Chen Family.
Chen Xuan naturally wouldn't let him easily take risks.
This major battle was truly at the Returning Void level.
Even if he went, he would probably only fight against the Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators of the Anti-Demon Alliance.
He wouldn't be able to participate in higher-level battles at all.
However.
The Chen Family had to go.
He, the Chen Family Old Ancestor, also had to go.
Otherwise, righteousness would be lost, the backbone would break, morale would crumble, and pride would vanish.
“Revered Master, it’s too risky for you to go. The five-party forces of the Anti-Demon Alliance have more than ten Returning Void Realm Cultivators. If you’re not careful, you might...”
Jiang Mingyue looked at Chen Xuan, her face full of worry, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Might what?
Die and have his Dao dissipate, of course!
Unless Chen Xuan could once again unleash the sword strike that slew Supreme Elder Zhuo Bufan of Kunwu Sect.
Could he?
No, he couldn't.
The remnant soul in the jade slip, which had unleashed a sword strike against a Returning Void Realm Cultivator this time, had consumed far more energy than the previous strike against a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.
It had clearly fallen back into a deep slumber.
It was unknown when it would awaken.
But did the people of the Anti-Demon Alliance know that he couldn't?
No, they didn't.
Therefore, in their ignorance, which Returning Void Realm Cultivator from which faction would be willing to be the first to stick their neck out and test whether Chen Xuan could unleash that invincible sword strike capable of destroying a Returning Void Realm Cultivator again?
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, wanted to see.
Who would dare.
Who would not value their own life.
With the Returning Void Realm Cultivators from the Five-Party Factions, he only needed to stand before them with his sword; that would be the greatest deterrent.
Next, he only needed to stall until the Teng Snake, whom Jiang Mingyue called invincible among peers, arrived.
Having made up his mind.
Chen Xuan also comforted Jiang Mingyue.
Immediately, he led Huang Tianqi, Liu Baichi, Yang Zheng, and Bai Tao, the four Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators, along with over fifty Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators from the five factions combined, and resolutely headed due north.
Without looking back.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingyue could only shake her head helplessly and closely followed behind Chen Xuan.
South of the Qilian Mountains.
A storm was brewing.
Two super-large forces were about to engage in a life-and-death battle.
One side was the Anti-Demon Alliance, jointly formed by the Dao One Sect, Upright Qi Sect, Yellow Maple Valley, Taiyi Palace, and Liang Family, all Returning Void Realm forces. Their momentum was vast, and they carried an invincible, sweeping aura.
The other side was the alliance of the Blood Demon Sect and the Chen Family.
The Blood Demon Sect, an old and powerful Returning Void Realm force, had three Returning Void Realm Cultivators guarding its sect.
As for the Chen Family.
It was not worth mentioning.
Only the Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Xuan, who had cut down a Returning Void Realm Cultivator with one sword, caused immense dread in people’s hearts.
This battle.
It attracted the attention of countless nearby forces and Cultivators from all sides.
The Northern Barrens had always been a barren land, lacking resources and having been weak for a long time.
The largest forces were only the Lietian Sect and Cloud Sea Pavilion, these two Body Integration forces.
These two could be called hegemonic forces in the Northern Barrens, but if placed in the North Sea Cultivation World, they could only be said to have the qualifications to establish themselves.
As for the Central Divine Continent, there was even less to say.
As long as these two, one sect and one pavilion, dared to set foot there.
They would be insignificant medium-sized forces, viewed as ants in the eyes of many other forces.
This was the current state of the Northern Barrens Cultivation world.
Precisely because of this.
The battles between several Returning Void Realm forces also appeared grand and spectacular.
Causing the entire Northern Barrens Cultivation world to become lively.
Even the Lietian Sect and Cloud Sea Pavilion couldn't help but turn their gaze here, observing secretly with great interest, ready to see which of these two parties would ultimately emerge victorious.
As for why they did not follow along in the crusade against the Demonic Path force, the Blood Demon Sect.
Regarding this.
The high-ranking officials of Lietian Sect and Cloud Sea Pavilion could only smile without speaking.
Demonic Path force?
Who defined that?
Was it the Dao One Sect and Upright Qi Sect in the western Northern Barrens?
What credibility did their definition of the Demonic Path have?
It was nothing more than a deep-seated enmity between the Blood Demon Sect and those two sects.
The Blood Demon Sect had not provoked their Lietian Sect or Cloud Sea Pavilion.
Where did the notion of a Demonic Path force come from?
Anyway, they wouldn't acknowledge it.
One could only say that the Blood Demon Sect's name was poorly chosen; it sounded a bit like a Demonic Path force. Look at the names of other forces: Lietian Sect, Cloud Sea Pavilion, and then there's Dao One Sect, Upright Qi Sect, Yellow Maple Valley, Taiyi Palace.
How awe-inspiringly righteous they sounded.
However, they knew their own affairs.
Behind the scenes, all forces must have engaged in underhanded dealings, such as stealing and eliminating sects.
Just for the sake of reputation, they either concealed or suppressed these acts. As for those that couldn't be suppressed, they would gradually be forgotten as time passed.
The Cultivation world has no memory.
