154: Nine sects unite to wage war against the Heavenly Demon.

"Report the casualty status!"

Xia Mulin led the Zhenxiao Combat Squad away from the battlefield to a place to rest and reorganize.

"Reporting to the Captain, in the engagement just now, we lost two squad members."

"Recover the Armed Equipment and seal the remains of the fallen Lapu!"

Xia Mulin sighed; he hadn't expected the alien battlefield to be like this.

Although he wasn't a bleeding heart, seeing the living beings of this realm plunged into misery was not something he wished for.

However, the highest orders had already been issued from above.

Plunder to the utmost limit!

Before long, they received a new mission.

(Conduct armed reconnaissance in the nearby area; wherever the mecha equipment reaches, slaughter all living beings.)

...Donglin Prefecture is located in the southeast, and this area is the border between the Star Arrival Sect and the Wuji Sect.

The hatred between these two great Sects ran deep, and Disciples were currently engaged in a fierce fight here.

Boom!

Puchi—

Thump...

Streaks of sword light and fist imprints sliced through the air, stirring up a sky full of fierce winds.

Many broken bodies already lay on the ground.

Some were dead, some were not quite dead yet, but all had lost the strength to fight further.

"Damn it, how could you possibly wound me?" The Disciples of the two Sects were still fighting desperately.

Just then, a massive flying boat flew in from the sky, drawing the attention of both sides.

The Disciples of the Star Arrival Sect and Wuji Sect looked up and immediately recognized it as a flying Magical Artifact of the Wuji Sect.

At the front of the flying boat stood a youth with an arrogant posture, exuding a lazy aura, followed by a group of followers.

He just stood there, doing nothing, yet he gave off an inexplicable sense of pressure.

It was as if he were a monarch or a noble imperial, making people feel panicked deep down.

"That's the Wuji Sect's Saint!"

While everyone was speculating just now, as the person approached, the Disciples of the Star Arrival Sect showed faces of fear and cried out in alarm.

Facing such an existence, they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

"The Wuji Sect actually sent their Saint."

"Do they want to escalate the conflict?"

"Why haven't our Star Arrival Sect's True Disciples arrived yet?" someone asked urgently.

"Look..." someone pointed toward the horizon, and everyone saw a woman stepping out from a spatial rift.

When her appearance was revealed, the Disciples of the Star Arrival Sect immediately cheered, filled with excitement.

"It's the Saintess! Great!" they said one after another, their faces showing expressions of excitement.

"With the Saintess here, we have nothing to fear," someone said.

"It's just a pity that the Saintess is too aloof; she rejected all followers."

Seeing this woman, the Disciples of the Wuji Sect frowned, their expressions turning solemn.

Why? Because this Star Arrival Sect Saintess... was very stubborn.

As it happened, the Wuji Sect's Saint clearly hadn't come to fight.

But just as he was about to speak, the Star Arrival Sect Saintess immediately began to form hand seals.

The Saintess of the Star Arrival Sect began to cast a spell; the sky and earth instantly changed color, and a violent wind rose abruptly.

Everyone looked up to see a large meteorite falling toward them from the sky.

Do you know why the Star Arrival Sect is called the Star Arrival Sect?

"Not good, this is the Stardust Descent Technique!" a male Cultivator from the Wuji Sect's face changed drastically.

As the meteorite drew closer, everyone felt a massive sense of pressure.

"Fine, I'll take this opportunity to test your combat strength first!"

At that moment, the Wuji Sect's Saint finally made his move.

Swish— He waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi quickly gathered, transforming into dozens of five-colored True Essence swords.

Then, with a wave of his right hand, each True Essence sword shot toward the meteorite with the force of a thunderbolt.

Boom—

Accompanied by a series of explosions, the man from the Wuji Sect shattered the meteorite.

This was the signature Cultivation Technique of the Wuji Sect, the Wuji Divine Light.

After easily dealing with the meteorite, the Wuji Sect's Saint leaned forward slightly, and in the next instant, his whole body shot forward like a cannonball.

He went straight for the Star Arrival Sect Saintess, who was now known as Lin Si.

Whoosh—

The Wuji Divine Light tore through the air, bringing with it a gust of violent wind.

Lin Si's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she raised her right hand lightly.

Bang!

The two attacks collided, erupting with a massive sound.

But neither Lin Si nor the Wuji Sect's Saint paused for a moment, launching into a frantic exchange of attacks once more.

They didn't use any Magical Artifacts, fighting instead with their bare hands.

For a time, only the continuous sounds of 'bang bang bang' could be heard as intense ripples spread outward.

Lin Si seized an opportunity and delivered a powerful inverted kick.

The Wuji Sect's Saint blocked with both arms.

With a loud boom, the ground collapsed and the cracks spread; he was kicked back over a dozen steps before steadying himself.

Then, he turned from defense to offense, his left palm turning into a blade as he leaped forward again, slashing directly at Lin Si's chest.

This move was extremely sharp.

Lin Si immediately withdrew and retreated rapidly, easily evading the fatal strike.

A cold smile curled on the Wuji Sect Saint's lips: "Hiding? Where do you think you can run?"

As he spoke, his feet slid forward as he rushed up, closing the distance again.

Wuji Void-Cleaving Kick!!!

Boom—

The duo's fists and legs collided once more, and this time, the impact caused a look of surprise to appear on the Wuji Sect Saint's face.

In the next moment, the fierce battle resumed.

Puchi...

Their fight lasted for nearly half an hour, and a mountain forest was forcibly leveled to the ground by the aftershocks of their battle.

Suddenly, four golden lights arrived.

They were four Golden Core Elders, and they each called out to their respective Saint or Saintess.

"Stop fighting for a moment, something big has happened!"

However, how could a battle be stopped just like that?

Boom boom boom...

Leaping repeatedly, after several more exchanges, the two finally landed on the ground.

Finally, both used their killing moves at the same time.

Xinglai Heaven-Breaking Slash!

Ethereal Wuji Sword!

Boom—

The two techniques collided, producing a terrifying wave that finally exploded with a roar.

Crack...

The earth crumbled, and dust filled the air.

When the rolling thick smoke dissipated, the figures of the two were revealed on the ground.

Both had injuries on their bodies, but none were considered heavy.

As for the result of this battle, perhaps only they knew in their hearts.

Truth be told, such a fight could only be described as a simple spar.

If Prodigies of this level were to engage in a life-and-death battle, the situation would likely be a hundred times more tragic.

The Elders from both sides appeared next to their own Saint or Saintess simultaneously.

"Saintess, we've finally found you."

The two Star Arrival Sect Elders' postures were exceptionally low, bowing their heads slightly; their attitude didn't seem like that of Sect seniors, but more like two servants.

Lin Si's vermillion lips parted slightly as she softly said, "Truly boring."

She then turned and left, having no intention of saying even a few more words to the opponent.

In fact, she truly looked down on this Wuji Sect Saint from the bottom of her heart.

In the vast Donglin Prefecture, the only ones who could make her feel excited, besides that monster from the Seven Emperor Sword Sect, were just that Cloud Heaven Sect Saint.

It was just a pity that of these two, one was even more insane than her when fighting, and the other had simply vanished from the face of the earth.

"Zhang Yizhi! Where are you!"

"When will you come and have a hearty life-and-death struggle with me!"

"What is it?"

After the Wuji Sect Saint deactivated his combat state, his whole person instantly reverted to that sleepy and lazy appearance.

However, the next few words from the other party instantly made his expression turn serious.

"A great change has occurred in Donglin Prefecture; the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons have invaded!"

"What? Outer Realm Heavenly Demons?! Is this true!"

"Replying to the Saint, it is absolutely true!"

...Not long after, a meeting of the Nine Sects was quickly convened, and all nine Sect Masters were present.

They finally reached a decision to establish the Nine Sects Alliance and extinguish the Heavenly Demon calamity as quickly as possible!

A war against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons was beginning.

The Nine Sects dispatched many of their Elders and Disciples to take action, preparing to join forces to suppress the Heavenly Demons... Cloud Heaven Sect, Forbidden Ground.

A Muscular Daoist looked at the man before him and nodded with satisfaction.

"The three-year term is up. Now that the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons have appeared, you shall take this opportunity to gain some experience!"

"Yes! Revered Master!"
