The Floating Guard
At this moment, a rather fantastical scene was unfolding at the Heavenly God Mountain's station.
They hadn't even seen the enemy's face, yet everyone was preparing to surrender!
If this matter were to spread, it would be enough to become a timeless legend!
Who knows how many eyeballs it could shatter!
After all, who is this?
This is Heavenly God Mountain!
An ancient power that has existed for an unknown number of years!
A transcendent power that has dominated the Northern Region for an unknown number of years.
Of course, the people of Heavenly God Mountain didn't care what others thought.
At this moment, they only wanted to act according to their inner desires.
Fu Wang Palace was strong, right?
But what was the result?
The entire sect was annihilated!
Figures like Sect Master Fu Zhong and Old Ancestor Fu Ji were beaten to death.
The tragic sight made people feel lingering fear just thinking about it.
They didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Fu Wang Palace!
If, before Jing Changqing arrived, they had still thought that by joining forces with the North Demon Cave, they could rest easy in the current treacherous Demon City.
Then, as the other party revealed a bit of the Demon Palace's strength, everyone realized how foolish that idea was.
They couldn't even muster a thought of resistance!
Twelve Three Yang above, plus a mysterious master; just thinking about it was enough to make one despair.
The two sides were simply not on the same level; if they clashed, it would be a complete dimensionality reduction strike.
Actually, they weren't entirely without suspicion regarding Jing Changqing's news.
But upon careful thought, they couldn't find any reason for Jing Changqing to deceive them, especially since they had witnessed the destruction of Fu Wang Palace.
They knew deeply that in the current Demon City, there was someone with the power to destroy transcendent powers.
Therefore, when combined with Jing Changqing's words, they could easily guess the truth of the matter.
Inside the tent, the meeting continued!
However, someone raised a new question.
"Sect Master, since we are going to surrender the entire sect to the Demon Palace, what about our Alliance with the North Demon Cave?"
It was fine not to mention the North Demon Cave, but once it was mentioned, Ling Tian was filled with anger.
If it weren't for that grandson, the North Demon Cave, how could Heavenly God Mountain have been targeted by a behemoth like the Demon Palace?
And thus, be forced to surrender the entire sect to protect themselves.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became; Ling Tian almost flipped the table on the spot.
His eyes red, he said coldly, "To hell with the Alliance!"
"These idiots almost got us killed!"
"If Jing Changqing hadn't said we couldn't touch them for now, I would have personally cut off a few heads to present as a sign of allegiance."
"The North Demon Cave, ignore them!"
"Since they have already been targeted by the Demon Palace, I imagine they won't be able to jump around for much longer!"
For the Sect Master of Heavenly God Mountain to be so angry as to curse, it showed how much he hated the North Demon Cave.
And so, a meeting concluded amidst these curses.
After the meeting, the people of Heavenly God Mountain dared not delay and immediately took action.
This matter of surrender was of great importance and could not be postponed.
If they waited until the other party attacked before surrendering, everything would be too late.
In an instant, the entire Heavenly God Mountain mobilized, hurrying towards the direction of the Demon Palace.
After approximately several hours, the mighty hundreds of people finally arrived at the Demon Palace's territory!
Looking ahead!
They saw a black palace rising from the earth, standing proudly in the sky.
It was like a ferocious beast, hidden in the rolling Devilish Qi, as if ready to devour people.
Outside the Demon Palace, the guards were strict!
It could be said that there was a guard every three steps and a sentry every ten steps!
The number of people was over ten thousand!
And among these people, not one was weak.
It's no exaggeration to say that any one of them sent out could run rampant in the Eastern Region.
A former Sect Master was just a small gatekeeper.
It can be said that the Demon Palace, having developed to this point, has reached an extremely powerful level, whether in terms of high-level combat power or mid-level strength.
When the people of Heavenly God Mountain arrived a few hundred feet outside the Demon Palace, to show respect, they no longer dared to fly through the air but chose to pay their respects on foot.
And when the group, led by Ling Tian, clearly saw the guard layout, each of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Among these guards, there were many masters of the Three Yang Realm.
The Three Yang Realm, used for guarding the gate, was somewhat absurd.
One must know that even in transcendent powers, the Three Yang Realm can be considered a pillar-like existence.
It's no exaggeration to say that the guard strength displayed was already enough to contend with Heavenly God Mountain.
Not to mention, inside there were also the extremely powerful Twelve Palace Masters, who transcended the Three Yang!
And the master behind the Twelve Palace Masters.
For a moment, everyone was both shocked and relieved.
Shocked by the Demon Palace's strength, and relieved that they had made the correct choice.
Even if they had been prepared beforehand, hearsay was no match for the shock of seeing it with their own eyes.
As the group approached!
The guards felt a slight tremor in their hearts.
Heavenly God Mountain was famous!
The emblem of misty Heavenly Mountain embroidered on their sleeves had almost become a business card in the Northern Region.
It was no exaggeration to say that everyone knew it.
Not long ago, their Palace Master had issued an order, saying that Heavenly God Mountain would be attacked tomorrow.
Now, Heavenly God Mountain had arrived in full force.
Could it be that they wanted to strike first?
After all, a person's name, a tree's shadow.
Heavenly God Mountain was still very powerful to everyone.
Therefore, none of them dared to be careless.
A guard leader said loudly, "People of Heavenly God Mountain, what is your purpose in coming?"
At this moment, Ling Tian stepped forward.
He cupped his fists towards the guard leader and politely said, "Please, my brother guard, inform your Palace Master that Heavenly God Mountain has come to surrender the entire sect."
"We request an audience with the Palace Master!"
"What?"
The guard leader at the palace gate's pupils constricted; he thought he was hallucinating.
A large, brawny hand dug into his ear.
His bearded face showed an extremely incredulous expression.
"You, say it again, what are you here for?"
If the people of Heavenly God Mountain were here to attack the Demon Palace, he might not be too surprised.
But if the other party was here to surrender, that was unbelievable.
After all, who was the other party?
Heavenly God Mountain!
They were an existence they could only look up to in the past.
Ling Tian heard this and had to reiterate it again.
"Please, my brother, inform your Palace Master that Heavenly God Mountain has come to surrender the entire sect, and requests an audience with the Palace Master!"
This time, the guard leader was certain; the other party was indeed not here to cause trouble, but to surrender.
In an instant, a surging tide rose in his heart!
Originally, he had been somewhat resentful of the disparity in his status, having once been a Sect Master and now only a small gatekeeper.
But now, even Heavenly God Mountain, one of the Four Transcendent Powers, was rushing to surrender.
Somehow, a strange sense of superiority suddenly welled up in his heart.
And even a feeling of pride.
It was a mentality of being proud to have joined the Demon Palace.
Most of the surrounding guards felt the same way.
Previously, when they were incorporated by the Demon Palace, they were outwardly respectful, but inwardly, they had more or less some complaints.
But now, all the dissatisfied emotions had disappeared.
No matter how noble your status, can it be nobler than Heavenly God Mountain?
No matter how strong your power, can it be stronger than the Sect Master of Heavenly God Mountain?
They even saw apprehension on Ling Tian's face; that was the worry of not being accepted by the Demon Palace's Palace Master.
In light of this, everyone suddenly felt that perhaps, the future of joining the Demon Palace was far grander than they had imagined.
As everyone had different thoughts, the guard leader looked at Ling Tian indifferently and said, "Wait here, I'll go inform him!"
As he spoke, his back unconsciously straightened a bit.
"Thank you!"
Responding to him was Ling Tian's gratitude!
For a moment, the guard leader felt light-headed.
He had never imagined that he, in front of a transcendent power, would ever be so unyielding!
He instantly felt like he had reached the Peak of his life!
