268: Baiyu Sect, the storm is coming!

"Wipe them out in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever!"

"Wipe them out in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever!"

Hearing the impassioned words of the Cultivators below, Lord of Wuya Prefecture, Mao Yuanbai felt an inexplicable surge of excitement and hot-bloodedness in his heart.

Perhaps he was really overthinking it? Maybe Demon Execution Abyss was not actually that powerful.

Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly, his gaze bright and spirited as he addressed the crowd below:

"Good! Since that is the case, we shall prepare ourselves and welcome their arrival!"

"However, just to be safe, we must notify the other Righteous Path forces and have them send reinforcements to support Boundless Estate."

"After all, this battle concerns the future landscape of the entire Fire Origin State; it is by no means just a matter for Boundless Estate alone! If Boundless Estate were to suffer heavy damage because of this, it would certainly not be a good thing."

"Those Righteous Path forces that usually follow our lead might very well turn against us because of this; one must always guard against others."

"Therefore, Elders, depart immediately, go to the various Righteous Path forces, and ensure they send half of their strength to help us resist Mo Lin Sect together!"

"If they do not comply, first persuade them with kind words, then use force!"

After Lord of Wuya Prefecture, Mao Yuanbai finished speaking, the people below cupped their fists in acknowledgment and then dispersed to head to the other forces.

Lord of Wuya Prefecture, Mao Yuanbai flashed away and returned to his secret chamber to consolidate his strength and state, ensuring he reached his Peak state before the great battle.

The Grand Elder went to the White Feather Garden, which was second only to Boundless Estate and Mo Lin Sect in the Fire Origin State.

Inside the White Feather Sect, Sect Master Yan Junming saw that the Grand Elder of Boundless Estate had come to their White Feather Sect in person, so he hurriedly went out to welcome him.

"Oh my, Grand Elder, what wind blew you here today? Come, come, I have prepared good tea and wine for you in the Sect to wash away the dust of your travels!"

The Grand Elder's expression did not change as he quietly followed Yan Junming to the place where the White Feather Sect entertained guests.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other.

Yan Junming respectfully brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for the Grand Elder, and then asked cautiously:

"Grand Elder, I do not know why you visited so suddenly; is there some important matter that needs to be communicated?"

The Grand Elder picked up the teacup, held it to his nose, sniffed it slightly, then took a small sip and said indifferently:

"Good tea!"

The Grand Elder's attitude made Yan Junming feel even more uneasy.

As the saying goes, one does not visit the temple without a reason; having arrived and staying silent, he was likely plotting something big!

The Grand Elder leisurely finished the cup of tea, then slowly set the cup down and said:

"Sect Leader Yan, the sky in the Fire Origin State has changed!"

"What?! What do you mean by that?"

"Did you notice the Lightning Tribulation fluctuation from earlier?"

Yan Junming nodded:

"I have indeed heard of it, but I do not know what level of Lightning Tribulation it was. Our strength is insufficient, so we dare not speculate recklessly."

"Then I will tell you now, that was the Lightning Tribulation for Mo Lin Sect Leader Demon Execution Abyss to undergo his Breakthrough into the Yang Shi Realm!"

"And it was a Nine-Layer Lightning Tribulation!"

Hearing this, Yan Junming's expression changed instantly! He exclaimed:

"What!! Nine-Layer Lightning Tribulation? Did that Demon Execution Abyss actually succeed? That's impossible, right? Even back when the Eastern Territory hadn't split, few people could survive the Nine-Layer Lightning Tribulation!"

"Not to mention that now the Origin is incomplete and various resources are scarce; I fear it would be a dead end if one encountered it!"

"That is good then; it can be considered removing a great scourge for our Fire Origin State! A fortunate event, a fortunate event indeed!"

The Grand Elder heard this, shook his head, and said:

"If only that were the case. Unfortunately, although I do not know what method Demon Execution Abyss used to successfully undergo the tribulation, he did indeed succeed!"

"This is the great event I mentioned that is enough to change the landscape of the entire Fire Origin State!"

Yan Junming's face turned pale instantly upon hearing the Grand Elder's words...

Demon Execution Abyss underwent the Nine-Layer Lightning Tribulation and became a powerhouse in the Yang Shi Realm? Then what about the Righteous Path practitioners in this Fire Origin State?

No! Isn't there still Boundless Estate? Isn't the Estate Master of Boundless Estate also in the Yang Shi Realm, and having achieved the Breakthrough a thousand years earlier than Demon Execution Abyss, surely he wouldn't be afraid of that Devil Head?

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh of relief and said to the Grand Elder with a smile:

"Grand Elder, are you deliberately trying to scare me? Your Boundless Estate's Estate Master long ago reached the Yang Shi Realm; would he be afraid of a Devil Head who just reached the Yang Shi Realm?"

The Grand Elder glanced at him and said indifferently:

"I will not hide it from you; my Estate Master has already said that it is very likely he cannot defeat that Devil Head."

"Ah... then... what should we do? Are you, Boundless Estate, going to withdraw? If you decide to withdraw, I fear our White Feather Sect will also have to prepare early."

The Grand Elder shook his head and said indifferently:

"At first our Estate Master had this thought, but later, considering the billions of living beings in the Fire Origin State, we ultimately decided not to withdraw and will fight to the death against Mo Lin Sect!"

"But..."

"But what?"

The White Feather Sect Sect Master asked quickly:

"But our Boundless Estate needs the assistance of other Righteous Path Sects! This is the reason I came to your White Feather Sect this time."

"Ah... then how much assistance do you need?"

"Half of your Sect's total combat strength!"

"What?! So much?!"

Yan Junming was shocked; this was half of their combat strength!

One must know that although their White Feather Sect was the third-ranked Sect in the Fire Origin State, the gap between them and the other Sect Masters below was not very large.

If they sent out half their combat strength to fight against Mo Lin Sect, after they finished fighting, they wouldn't even know if they could keep their spot as one of the top five Sects!

And this was only considering the scenario where some of the Sect's combat strength survived.

If you sent out your Sect's vital strength to support Boundless Estate, what if, during the great battle, the people of Boundless Estate used your Disciples as the vanguard, sending them to the front lines to die?

It was no wonder he thought so much; these things could very well happen! After all, these things had happened before.

Once you went to someone else's Sect, many things were beyond your control.

Thinking of this, he stammered:

"Grand... Grand Elder, isn't half of our combat strength a bit too much... Our White Feather Sect cannot afford such a loss..."

The Grand Elder heard this, his brows tightened, and a faint aura of majesty emanated from his body. He looked at Yan Junming and said indifferently:

"Yan Junming, I am not consulting with you; this is an order!"

"Boundless Estate chose to stay and resist for the sake of all the living beings in the Fire Origin State; all Righteous Path Sects should rightfully contribute!"

"I give you one day's time to have your Sect's Cultivators come to my Boundless Estate."
