Calamity!

In the southern part of the Liang Kingdom, at Southguard Pass, the garrison commander at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer and 300,000 soldiers nervously watched the dark clouds appearing in the south, their backs drenched in sweat.

Eighteen years had passed since Lu Changsheng arrived in this world, which was also the time point predicted by the Master of Crouching Dragon Temple for the Demon Sects Calamity.

"The Great Demon of the Desolate Province has emerged!"

The Golden Core Realm warriors have extremely far vision and can see various Great Demons lurking in the dark clouds, which immediately sends chills down their spines.

The Desolate Province surrounded by millions of mountains, and no one knows how many Demon Beasts there are, including Great Demons at the Dao Palace Realm and even Peerless Great Demons at the Void Refinement Realm.

The 300,000-strong garrison at Southguard Pass, with its strongest general being only the General of Southguard at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, Southguard Pass like a paper lake in front of the Dao Palace Realm Great Demon.

Liang Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of the Ask Immortal Pavilion, one of the six Six Great Sects. Normally, the rogue Rogue Cultivators of the Demon Race in the Desolate Province would not easily offend Southguard Pass, but this time it is Demon Sects Calamity, and the Rogue Cultivator the Demon Race are acting together, not even taking the Ask Immortal Pavilion, one of the Six Great Sects, seriously.

Hundreds of streaks of light arrived above Southguard Pass; these people flew on swords, Dao Bone.

"I am Xiao Menger, the Second Disciple of the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion. Calamity is imminent. The Desolate Province Demon Race and the Demon Sects sect of the Desolate Continent are attacking. You mortals, quickly abandon Southguard Pass, relocate the people, and retreat to the Imperial City!"

The woman at the head of the group transmitted a message to the 300,000 troops guarding Southguard Pass.

"This is Fairy Xiao from the Ask Immortal Pavilion!"

"Quickly, withdraw the troops! Abandon Southguard Pass!"

The General of Southguard was at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, was at a loss when the Ask Immortal Pavilion came to his aid and gave orders. He reacted quickly and mobilized 300,000 troops, abandoning Southguard Pass.

Southguard Pass was too far from Misty Peak, Ask Immortal Pavilion simply abandoned this formidable pass and shrank its sphere of influence.

"The Desolate Province Demon Race is approaching! Brothers, pack your bags quickly, we must retreat!"

"Take only what's essential; don't bring along any junk or broken parts!"

The Southguard Pass was in chaos, and 300,000 troops hastily withdrew from this formidable pass that had been guarded for a thousand years.

Xiao Menger stood on a bright blue Flying Sword and looked towards the Desolate Province. She saw rolling black clouds approaching, and Xiao Menger Liu Mei slightly.

At this time, thirteen years had passed since the Six Paths Assembly. Xiao Menger's cultivation level had advanced from the Dao Palace Realm, Eighth Layer Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer. She had been cultivating for less than five hundred years, making her Peerless Genius among the Six Great Sects.

However, Xiao Menger realized that even with her cultivation at the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, she wouldn't be able to change anything in this Demon Sects Calamity.

Xiao Menger led hundreds of Elders and disciples of the Ask Immortal Pavilion to relocate the mortal garrison and civilians in the southern part of the Liang Kingdom.

In the main hall of Misty Peak, all the Elders and disciples of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were gathered, each with a solemn expression and a heavy atmosphere.

The Demon Sects Calamity predicted by Yu Xuanji, the Master of Crouching Dragon Temple, has arrived as scheduled, with the Ask Immortal Pavilion, ranked fifth in overall strength, bearing the brunt first.

It's not just that Ask Immortal Pavilion is relatively weak among the Six Great Sects; another reason is Ask Immortal Pavilion location near the Desolate Province.

"The Pavilion Master has arrived!"

The crowd was awestruck as the elegant and graceful Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion appeared, accompanied by her Eldest Disciple Zeng Yeqiu and her youngest disciple Xia Ningxue, her face as cold as ice.

"I have informed the five Sects — Mount Shu, Boundless Temple, Martial Dao Alliance, Crouching Dragon Temple, and the Artifact Refinement Sect —and requested that they send their most outstanding experts to assist Ask Immortal Pavilion in defending Liang Kingdom against the Desolate Province Demon Race and the Four Great Demonic Sects. There is no need for alarm. Our Ask Immortal Pavilion has stood for two hundred thousand years without falling. The Four Great Demonic Sects and the Desolate Province Demon Race will have to see if they have the strength to destroy our Ask Immortal Pavilion first!"

The cold aura of the Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion spread, making everyone present feel slightly more at ease.

Although Ask Immortal Pavilion ranks fifth in overall strength among the Six Great Sects, only surpassing the Artifact Refinement Sect, the first generation Pavilion Master of the Ask Immortal Pavilion and the Qingxia Immortal Maiden from Ten Thousand Years Ago both had cultivation levels that surpassed the then -Mount Shu Sect Master, thus leaving behind some legacy.

This is the source of Fairy Su's confidence Pavilion Master of Ask Immortal Pavilion.

"The Grand Supreme Elders have arrived!"

More than a dozen powerful auras arrived from the Rear Mountain Misty Peak, their imposing presence Devour Heaven and Earth, causing even the main hall of Misty Peak to tremble.

"This disciple pays respects to all the Elders."

The younger generation of Elders and disciples of the Ask Immortal Pavilion paid their respects with utmost reverence.

These Grand Supreme Elders of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were Peerless Genius of their time in their youth, and they were also the foundation of the Ask Immortal Pavilion!

At Martial Dao Mountain, Grandmaster Chen, the Alliance Leader of the Martial Dao Alliance, and a group of Elders and disciples of the Martial Dao Alliance Ziyun.

Grandmaster Chen spoke, his voice booming. "Fairy Su of the Ask Immortal Pavilion has requested assistance from our Martial Dao Alliance. Some of our Grand Supreme Elders will remain at Martial Dao Mountain, while others will accompany us to support the Ask Immortal Pavilion."

"Little Ye, you've suppressed your cultivation level for many years. This time, you've broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. You're practically Grand Supreme Elders of our Martial Dao Alliance. During this Calamity, you'll be leading an Elders and disciples on your own."

Grandmaster Chen looked at his Chief Grand Disciple, Ye Wen, with his hands behind his back.

In his view, this disciple's talent was no less than that of Li Changye of Mount Shu.

Ye Wen smiled brightly, "Master, don't worry, I'm going to let the Four Great Demonic Sects see my self-created Martial Technique, 'Wing Chun'."

Boundless Temple, a towering Heaven-Reaching Divine Temple, radiates boundless Buddha Light, enveloping several countries, Power of Faith of countless people flows continuously into the temple.

At the top floor of Heaven-Reaching Divine Temple, shrouded in mist, High Person Wuxiang his hands together and addressed a gaunt, meditating monk. "In this Calamity, our Boundless Temple cannot remain uninvolved. I am leading a team to the Liang Kingdom, and I entrust the task of guarding Boundless Temple to you."

The other person remained silent, as if they had already passed away.

After speaking, High Person Wuxiang bowed and then left the temple.

Countless rays of Buddha Light shot into the sky, and the Boundless Temple Abbot, along with Elders and disciples, rode on Law Treasure such as Prayer Beads, bodhi seeds, and a precious bowl, flying southward.

[Honestly, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading and follow my books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.]

Crouching Dragon Temple, with its three thousand Daoist Temples standing side by side, features green tiles, white walls, winding paths, and corridors.

While Abbot Yu Xuanji of Master of Crouching Dragon Temple was feeding the Koi in the pond, the Chief Grand Disciple Zhuge Changming said, "Everything is just as the Temple Master. The Four Great Demonic Sects and the Demon Lord of the Desolate Province have joined forces, and their target is none other than our Six Great Orthodox Sects. Ask Immortal Pavilion will be the first to bear the brunt."

Yu Xuanji nodded, her tone still unhurried. "Gather your disciples and inform the Grand Supreme Elders."

Zhuge Changming asked, "Temple Master, what are our chances of winning this Calamity?"

"That depends on how the Mount Shu, the strongest among the Six Great Sects, handles it."

At the Mount Shu Main Peak, Senior Brother Li Changye summoned the Elders of Mount Shu who were at the Dao Palace Realm and Nascent Soul Realm, as well as the Mount Shu Disciple who Golden Core Realm and Qi Condensation Realm.

Mount Shu has received a request for assistance from the Ask Immortal Pavilion.

"Disciples at the Qi Condensation Realm who remain at Mount Shu must possess at least the Golden Core Realm cultivation to participate in the battle."

"Senior Brother, all the Elders from the various peaks have arrived, but the Sect Master and the people from Azure Cloud Peak have not yet arrived."

"Don't worry, we'll set off first."

Li Changye is currently at the Void Refinement Realm, which is enough for him to lead the team.

As for Taiyuan True Person and Lu Changsheng, they each had their own matters to attend to.

What is Junior Brother Lu up to?

Among the crowd, Zhao Wuyan, who had a good relationship with Lu Changsheng, couldn't help but be curious.
