12: On the eve of the storm, the alliance secretly plotted

After learning about the movements of various forces, the atmosphere in Beyond Heaven grew increasingly tense. Everyone was preparing for the impending great battle. Jun Xiaoyao, from behind the scenes, commanded everything in an orderly manner.

"System, how many Summoning Points have I accumulated so far?" Jun Xiaoyao knew that facing the powerful enemies about to arrive, an extra bit of strength meant an extra bit of winning chance.

"Host currently has 900 Summoning Points." The System's voice echoed in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

"Perform a summon." Jun Xiaoyao didn't hesitate.

Inside the secret chamber, a light once again shot into the sky. Space seemed to be wildly stirred by an invisible giant hand, twisting beyond recognition. The intense light almost melted the entire secret chamber. At the center of the light, a figure slowly emerged.

Summoned Character: Jiang Yulang

From the World: the proud twins

Realm: Late Grandmaster Realm

Martial Skill Cultivation Technique: Cunning and proficient in various schemes and calculations, skilled in Disguise Technique, able to imitate others' words and actions, and has Cultivated some superior light body techniques and acupoint striking skills for discreet movement.

The light gradually dissipated, and a young man in luxurious brocade robes appeared before Jun Xiaoyao. The man had handsome features, but his eyes held a hint of cunning and calculation. He immediately knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Master."

"Jiang Yulang, our Beyond Heaven is currently coveted by various forces, especially the Tian Xuan Sect, which schemes to seize our treasures. Do you have any countermeasures?" Jun Xiaoyao looked at the figure known for his wisdom and cunning, hoping he could provide a solution.

Jiang Yulang slightly raised his head, a glint flashing in his eyes: "Master, the Tian Xuan Sect is powerful, and a direct confrontation may not be wise. We can exploit their eagerness for success and set up numerous traps. Additionally, I've heard that the Tian Xuan Sect also has conflicts of interest with some other forces. We might as well sow discord among them, causing internal strife and making them preoccupied."

Jun Xiaoyao nodded, finding Jiang Yulang's words very apt: "Very good, I'll leave this matter to you. Use The Net's intelligence network and your cunning to create trouble for the Tian Xuan Sect. But be sure to be careful and not expose your whereabouts."

"Yes, Master, Yulang will not fail in his mission." Jiang Yulang accepted the order and departed.

Meanwhile, Xu Ziling was also actively contacting various neutral forces. He first arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion. The Master of Qingfeng Pavilion, Master of Clear Wind, was an upright person, highly respected in the Jianghu, and Qingfeng Pavilion had always maintained neutrality, not participating in any conflicts.

Upon meeting Master of Clear Wind, Xu Ziling respectfully bowed: "I have long heard of the Qingfeng Pavilion Master's great name. I am Xu Ziling, representing Beyond Heaven. Our Beyond Heaven is now coveted by the Tian Xuan Sect, and our treasures face the risk of being seized. The Tian Xuan Sect is ambitious; if they succeed, the entire continent may fall into turmoil. I hope Qingfeng Pavilion can form an Alliance with our Beyond Heaven to jointly resist the Tian Xuan Sect."

Master of Clear Wind frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then said: "I have also heard of this matter. The Tian Xuan Sect's actions have become increasingly arrogant in recent years. However, forming an Alliance is a matter of great importance; allow me to discuss it with the Elders in the Pavilion."

Xu Ziling knew this matter could not be rushed, so he waited patiently. Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside Qingfeng Pavilion. Xu Ziling and Master of Clear Wind exchanged glances and quickly went out to investigate. They saw a group of Tian Xuan Sect Disciples clashing with Qingfeng Pavilion guards.

"How dare your Qingfeng Pavilion collude with Beyond Heaven? Do you want to be enemies with our Tian Xuan Sect?" a Tian Xuan Sect Disciple shouted arrogantly.

"We did not collude with Beyond Heaven, don't slander us!" the Qingfeng Pavilion guard responded angrily.

Xu Ziling's heart stirred, knowing this must be a Tian Xuan Sect scheme to sabotage the Alliance between Beyond Heaven and Qingfeng Pavilion. He stepped forward and calmly said: "Everyone, there must be a misunderstanding. Our Beyond Heaven is dedicated to maintaining peace on the continent, and our visit here is merely to exchange Martial Skill insights with Qingfeng Pavilion. However, your Sect's grand display of force suggests another motive, doesn't it?"

The Tian Xuan Sect Disciple was speechless by Xu Ziling's words but still retorted stubbornly: "Hmph, stop quibbling! In short, colluding with Beyond Heaven is being an enemy of our Tian Xuan Sect!"

Seeing this, Master of Clear Wind was very displeased with the Tian Xuan Sect's behavior: "Your Tian Xuan Sect is so overbearing, slandering others at will. Our Qingfeng Pavilion will remember today's incident."

The Tian Xuan Sect Disciples, seeing their objective unachieved and unwilling to completely fall out with Qingfeng Pavilion, could only leave dejectedly.

"Young Master Xu, it seems the Tian Xuan Sect doesn't want us to form an Alliance. But after this incident, I have also seen the true colors of the Tian Xuan Sect. My Qingfeng Pavilion is willing to form an Alliance with Beyond Heaven to jointly resist the Tian Xuan Sect," said Master of Clear Wind.

Xu Ziling was overjoyed: "Thank you, Pavilion Master. With Qingfeng Pavilion's help, we will have a better chance against the Tian Xuan Sect."

While Xu Ziling was forming an Alliance with Qingfeng Pavilion, Jiang Yulang also began his plan. He used the intelligence provided by The Net and learned that the Tian Xuan Sect had a conflict with a force called the Spiritual Fire Sect over the ownership of a spiritual mine. Jiang Yulang used his Disguise Technique to impersonate an Elder of the Spiritual Fire Sect, infiltrated the Tian Xuan Sect, and spread rumors among the Tian Xuan Sect Disciples that the Spiritual Fire Sect was preparing to unite with other forces to attack the Tian Xuan Sect and seize the spiritual mine.

"Have you heard? The Spiritual Fire Sect is going to attack our Tian Xuan Sect. They've united several forces and plan to seize the spiritual mine when we are fighting Beyond Heaven," the Elder impersonated by Jiang Yulang whispered among the Tian Xuan Sect Disciples.

These rumors quickly spread within the Tian Xuan Sect, causing a wave of panic. Some Disciples began to worry about the Sect's safety and wavered in their resolve for the upcoming battle with Beyond Heaven.

When Mysterious Mechanism Master learned of this, he was furious: "How dare the Spiritual Fire Sect! Once I deal with Beyond Heaven, I will make them pay!" But at the same time, he had to divert some energy to guard against the Spiritual Fire Sect.

And in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Poison Without Constant was also closely monitoring the development of the situation. Seeing that the Tian Xuan Sect and Beyond Heaven had not yet officially started fighting, he felt a bit anxious. "If we wait any longer, we might not get anything," Poison Without Constant murmured to himself.

Just then, a subordinate rushed in to report: "Sect Leader, the Tian Xuan Sect seems to have some internal problems. Their conflict with the Spiritual Fire Sect seems to have escalated."

A hint of surprise flashed in Poison Without Constant's eyes: "Oh? It seems there's an opportunity. Closely monitor their movements, and when they are both severely wounded, we will make our move."

In Beyond Heaven, Fu Hongxue had been in seclusion Cultivating for several days after taking the "five-colored creation pill." His Aura grew increasingly powerful, faintly showing signs of a Breakthrough to the Late Stage Great Grandmaster Realm.

"Hoo..." Fu Hongxue slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed within them. "Finally, I've had a Breakthrough." Fu Hongxue felt the increase in his own strength, his heart filled with confidence.

At this time, Jun Xiaoyao also received news of Xu Ziling forming an Alliance with Qingfeng Pavilion and Jiang Yulang successfully stirring up conflict between the Tian Xuan Sect and the Spiritual Fire Sect.

"Well done. With Qingfeng Pavilion's assistance, plus the internal troubles of the Tian Xuan Sect, we have a better chance against the Tian Xuan Sect. But we still cannot be careless; notify everyone to continue strengthening preparations," Jun Xiaoyao said.

While Beyond Heaven was actively preparing for battle and various forces were secretly vying for power, the Tian Xuan Sect finally could no longer hold back and prepared to launch an attack on Beyond Heaven. Mysterious Mechanism Master gathered many masters of the Tian Xuan Sect, including several Elders in the Land Immortal Realm, and aggressively headed towards Beyond Heaven.

"Beyond Heaven, today is your doomsday. Hand over the treasures obediently, and perhaps you can keep your corpses intact," Mysterious Mechanism Master shouted loudly, standing at the forefront of the procession.

The people of Beyond Heaven were already standing by in full battle array. Marshal of the Unruly, West Gate Blows Snow, Ye Gucheng, Thirteen Swallows, Li Xunhuan, and others stood at the very front, their eyes firm and fearless.

"Want to seize our treasures? First, ask if the blades and swords in our hands agree!" Marshal of the Unruly snorted coldly, emitting a powerful Aura.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out. The Tian Xuan Sect came aggressively, but could Beyond Heaven, relying on a series of strategies and its own strength, successfully resist the Tian Xuan Sect's attack and protect its treasures? The entire continent was watching this impending fierce clash, and Jun Xiaoyao and his Beyond Heaven were facing this life-and-death test with a fearless attitude.
