They are just children.
Eastern Region!
Above the clouds!
An old man dressed in a blue robe, with a totem emblem of mountains and rivers on his chest, and the character 'Heaven' printed on the emblem, was looking grimly at the mountains and land below.
If the Twelve Demon Generals were here, they would likely recognize it.
When their master took Bai Ling as a disciple back then, he moved the True Demon Inheritance from the Fallen Devil Land and placed it in the Snowwind Plains.
At that time, the Twelve Demon Generals and Fu Wang Palace were engaged in a fierce battle, and two individuals named Qingming and Feng Wuji emerged to obstruct them.
This old man bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the one named Qingming.
Behind the old man, there were more than twenty figures.
Each of these individuals possessed profound Aura, with strengths ranging from the Myriad Laws Realm to the Returning to One Realm!
They were all members of the Heavenly Sect.
The Heavenly Sect, a reclusive Sect hidden in the Southern Region.
They were not well-known throughout the Southern Region, yet they indirectly controlled several of the most top-tier Cultivation Great Sects in the entire Southern Region.
Their influence even extended to the Northern Region at one point.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the entire Heavenly Sect would rarely appear before the world once in a millennium.
The entire Sect followed a low-key development path.
They preferred to remain hidden behind the scenes, slowly encroaching upon the forces of various regions, secretly controlling the resources of these regions to strengthen themselves.
However, unforeseen events happen, and fortunes can change.
A year ago, Xiang Qingming, the son of Xiang Wentian, the founder and Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect, had his soul tablet shattered.
He died tragically in the Northern Region.
This enraged the entire Sect!
Xiang Wentian, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect, immediately mobilized all members to investigate the cause of his son's death.
After a long period of investigation, they finally pinpointed the culprit.
Zhong Qing!
It was the Scarecrow under his command who directly slew Xiang Qingming!
Causing him to perish and his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!
Not even a sliver of a chance for Reincarnation was left.
Upon learning the truth, Xiang Wentian immediately led his people directly to the Eastern Region!
With the Heavenly Sect's power, they could investigate the Scarecrow, and also find out that the Scarecrow was under Zhong Qing's command.
Naturally, they could also discover that Zhong Qing originated from the Immortal River Sect.
This time!
They were here to flatten the Immortal River Sect!
To make them feel what the wrath of the Heavenly Sect was like!
Above the white clouds, the strong winds howled.
Making their robes flap loudly.
Xiang Wentian led his group, traveling at high speed.
He asked a subordinate behind him, "How much further is it to the Immortal River Sect!"
"Reporting, Sect Master, less than three thousand li!"
"Very good!"
Xiang Wentian's face was grim.
"Pick up the pace, full speed ahead. Today, I want to completely erase the Immortal River Sect from this world, so they won't even see the afterglow of the setting sun!"
His voice was deep, like a furious, low roar of a giant beast.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
A chorus of voices rang out simultaneously, like thunder exploding in the long sky.
Startling the Yao Beasts in the mountains to flee wildly and terrifying countless birds into chaotic flight.
This scene was also witnessed by many.
"Who are these people? How dare they come looking for trouble with the Immortal River Sect? Are they tired of living?"
Someone exclaimed in shock.
The Immortal River Sect's prestige was now soaring, with an invincible posture poised to ascend to the throne of the Eastern Region's number one.
Now, someone dared to say they would make the Immortal River Sect unable to see the afterglow of the setting sun.
To many, these people were either mad or seeking death.
But some also said with solemn expressions, "Only a true Dragon crosses the river!"
"Before attacking the Immortal River Sect, these people couldn't possibly not investigate the Immortal River Sect's strength and background."
"They dare to be so arrogant, they must have absolute confidence in their own strength."
"I think this time, the Immortal River Sect is in big trouble!"
"At the very least, it will be a fierce battle of Dragons and Tigers!"
"The Eastern Region is probably going to change soon!"
These words were clearly overheard by several Heavenly Sect Elders.
This made one of them shake his head and sneer.
"After all, they are people from a small place. They have some brains, but not much!"
"What a joke, the Immortal River Sect, how can it be compared to my Heavenly Sect?"
"They are merely ants that can be killed with a flick of the hand, yet they dare to dream of a battle of Dragons and Tigers with my Heavenly Sect. Truly laughable!"
However, one of the Elders held a dissenting opinion.
"You can't say that!"
"Young Lord and Young Master Wuji's Cultivation were not weak. To fall into the hands of a Peak Master from the Immortal River Sect proves that this so-called Immortal River Sect still has some strength and is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"My Heavenly Sect still needs to take this seriously, otherwise, we might capsize in a small ditch."
These words made the Third Elder, who had spoken earlier, displeased.
"Seventh Elder, you are always like this, boosting others' morale and diminishing our own prestige."
"The Southern Region is under my Heavenly Sect's control."
"For us, with our status, to deal with a small Sect in the Eastern Region is already overkill."
"No matter how extraordinary he is, do you really think they can be a match for the Sect Master?"
At the mention of the Sect Master, the Seventh Elder fell silent.
After all, this was a legendary figure of the Heavenly Sect.
He was the faith of the entire Heavenly Sect.
His Cultivation at Returning to One Realm Nine Heavens Great Perfection, only a step away from the Venerable Realm, was their lifelong goal to strive for and catch up to.
The Seventh Elder shook his head.
He sighed, thinking he might have truly overthought things.
With his Sect Master's Cultivation, even looking at the entire Southern Region, he was an invincible existence.
How could a small Eastern Region possibly cause any waves in his hands?
Just like that!
As the group sped along like lightning, with a formidable Aura and surging killing intent, they quickly arrived at the Immortal River Sect's territory.
It must be said that the Heavenly Sect members, throughout their journey, had no intention of concealing their Aura in the slightest.
That killing intent could be felt from hundreds of miles away.
Inside the Immortal River Sect at this moment!
The high-level Sect members, led by Sect Master Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong, had already gathered and activated the Right Guardian Hushan array.
One side stood in the long sky, while the other gathered on the mountain peak.
The two sides faced each other across the great array.
Although separated by the array, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others had already sensed the extraordinary nature of the opposing party and their ill intentions.
He said in a deep voice, "May I ask why you have come?"
"What is the matter?"
"My Immortal River Sect, it seems, has never had any grievances with you?"
Xiang Wentian heard this and laughed in extreme anger.
"What a 'never had any grievances'!"
His eyes showed sorrow, and he said in a low voice, "My son's talent was unparalleled; he Cultivated to Myriad Laws Realm Seventh Realm before the age of two thousand three hundred!"
"He was destined to be a Great Emperor!"
"My old friend's son, Wuji, was no less talented than my son."
"He Cultivated to Wanfa Nine Heavens Great Perfection at the age of two thousand three hundred and eighty-seven, only a step away from Guiyi."
"Yet, these two incredibly talented, uniquely gifted young Geniuses, with the potential of Great Emperors, were killed by someone under your Sect's Peak Master."
"And you tell me this is 'never had any grievances'?"
When he said this, his eyes turned bloodshot.
He glared, veins throbbing on his forehead.
Finally, he screamed hoarsely, "You must know, they were just children!!!"
