Sacred Ground in Crisis!

"All the Sects have sent their experts to the Holy Land as requested. However, this will likely cause great suffering for the mortals. Without the protection of these Sects, they are no match for the Demon Realm Army, and there will likely be widespread devastation."

"The Demon Venerable are not something an ordinary Sects can withstand. Rather than being scattered, it's better to unite as one and protect more mortals. Let them collect the mortals within their Sects's territory into their Law Treasure; save as many mortals as they can."

Lin Qinghan Liu Mei slightly.

Sects affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Ground gathered at Taihua Mountain, and millions of Xiuzhenzhe Immortal Realm assigned to various mountain peaks.

The Taihua Mountain stretches for tens of thousands of miles, Mountain-Guarding Formation covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, enough to protect millions of Xiuzhenzhe.

However, with so many Xiuzhenzhe gathered in this Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land of Taihua Mountain, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is needed, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi attracted by the Spirit Gathering Formation is simply not enough to share.

Moreover, maintaining the Mountain-Guarding Formation also requires a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

This cannot continue indefinitely.

However, the Demon Realm has returned with a vengeance, Taihua Sacred Ground needs to gather experts from various Sects to protect Holy Land.

"I hope Dad and the others are not in danger."

"And when will Junior Brother Lu and Elder Sister be able to return?"

"You will each go to the Branch Halls on the outskirts of the Holy Land to monitor the surrounding areas. If you detect Devil Qi from the Demon Realm Army, immediately notify the Holy Land using the Thousand-Li Sound Transmission Talisman."

Lin Qinghan arranged for a group of disciples from the Holy Land to go to the surrounding Branch Halls to monitor the movements of the Demon Realm Army.

Although the Demon Realm Army's advance is aimed directly at the Leize Holy Land, no one can guarantee that Demon Venerable lord won't lead a surprise attack on other Holy Lands.

"Our junior sister has not only made great progress in her cultivation in recent years, but she's also become capable of handling things on her own. We senior brothers Senior Sisters are no match for her."

"Back then, we thought that Senior Brother Qingyang and Senior Sister Xuan Shuang would succeed Master in taking charge of the Holy Land, but we never expected that Junior Brother and Junior Sister would rise to the top."

"After Senior Brother Qingyang went missing, Qingyang Senior Sister Xuan Shuang went to look for him and hasn't returned to the Holy Land for quite some time. If they know there's danger at the Holy Land, they should come back."

Lin Xuantong's disciples, Immortal Emperor Buyi and Fairy Shunhua, stayed behind to guard the Holy Land. The two had already broken through to the God King Realm. Seeing that Lin Qinghan was already capable of handling things on her own, they did not interfere and obeyed their junior sister's arrangements to manage the various Sects.

Three days later, a group of Xiuzhenzhe fled to the gate of Mount Taihua Mountain, where they were stopped by disciples of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

This group of Xiuzhenzhe, from the Sect Master down to the disciples, were all wounded and covered in blood.

"Isn't this Sect Xu Sect Master of the Flame Virtue Sect? What trouble have you encountered?"

Some Elders from the Flame Virtue Sect Sects the leader of the group and gathered around.

The major and minor Sects within the Taihua Sacred Ground are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

Xu Sect Master of the Flame Virtue Sect is a master of the God King Realm, therefore the Flame Virtue Sect is classified as a Heaven-level Sects.

As a Heavenly-level Sects, the Flame Virtue Sect wields considerable influence and maintains relationships with many Sects.

However, since everyone in the formidable Flame Virtue Sect was injured, there is almost only one possibility.

Xu Sect Master's face was ashen. While circulating his inner energy to heal his injuries, he replied, "Our Flame Virtue Sect was gathering various medicinal herbs and treasures on our way to seek refuge with the Holy Land when we were attacked by experts from the Demon Realm, suffering heavy casualties."

"Demon Realm demon has appeared in the Taihua Sacred Ground?"

"Even Xu Sect Master is no match for them. Could it be that this group of the Demon Realm experts are heading towards the Holy Land?"

"This is terrible! This is terrible!"

The faces of these Sects experts turned grim, and a sense of unease quickly settled over them.

Taihua Sacred Ground dispatched a group of experts to join Profound Maiden Palace in rescuing Leize Holy Land.

Not long after the two Household Ancestor Lin and Jiang Clan Ancestor, left with their entourage, powerful figures from the Demon Realm appeared in the territory of the Taihua Sacred Ground, a truly terrifying prospect.

Lin Tianyi, the Holy Land Elder guarding the entrance to the Taihua Sacred Ground Land, immediately settled the people of the Flame Virtue Sect and reported the news of the appearance of the Demon Realm experts to Lin Qinghan.

"Activate the First Stage of the Mountain-Guarding Formation."

Just in case, Lin Qinghan ordered the outermost array to be activated.

Upon receiving the order, the Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground immediately activated the great formation with their True Qi.

A five-colored Barrier forms around Taihua Divine Mountain, separating the inside from the outside.

Only with permission can one enter or exit the Barrier at the mountain gate.

The Mountain-Guarding Formation of Taihua Divine Mountain has two layers: the First Stage is for defense, and the second layer is for killing.

Seeing that the Mountain-Guarding Formation had been successfully activated, Lin Qinghan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then summoned the Elders of the Holy Land to discuss matters and integrate the power of the Holy Land and the Sects.

The Mountain-Guarding Formation needs someone to maintain its operation, so Lin Qinghan divided everyone in the Holy Land into five groups to take turns maintaining the Formation.

The Elders of the Taihua Sacred Ground presided over the grand formation, while the Sect Master, Elders, and disciples of other Sects were responsible for infusing the formation with True Qi.

"Currently, there are twenty-three Great Perfection God King and over three hundred other God King within the Holy Land. As for Great Expert, there is only Senior Lin Shiyu."

Fairy Shunhua assessed the Holy Land's strength. Excluding the two patriarchs and the experts Lin Xuantong had taken away, the Holy Land's remaining strength was not to be underestimated.

Over millions of years, the Taihua Sacred Ground has accumulated a large number of experts. Moreover, Sects like Sage-Proving Mountain, which are affiliated with the Taihua Sacred Ground, have also provided the Holy Land with a large number of experts.

Calamity descends, the Taihua Sacred Ground summons all its experts, bringing together a formidable force.

"Our Taihua Sacred Ground has no shortage of experts at the God King Realm, but unfortunately, we only have three great masters. With the two patriarchs descending the mountain, only one great master remains."

Lin Qinghan was worried that too few Great Expert were born in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The Taihua Sacred Ground has not had a smooth journey in recent years. Due to some changes, it has lost many geniuses, such as Lin Beichen, who betrayed his sect, and the missing Immortal Emperor Qingyang.

Fairy Shunhua said, "Junior Sister, there's no need to worry. When the Taihua Sword Maiden left behind the Mountain-Guarding Formation, she had already considered all sorts of scenarios. Even without Great Experts, the combined strength of hundreds of God King can unleash the power of the Mountain-Guarding Formation."

"Yes. Various Sects have come to seek refuge, a real mixed bag. I'll trouble Senior Sister and Senior Brother Buyi to manage things."

"We both grew up in the Holy Land, and now that the Holy Land is in danger, it is our duty to act."

Under the management of Fairy Shunhua and Immortal Emperor Buyi, the Profound-Level and Huang-level Sects are responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Holy Land, while the Tian-level and Di-level Sects participate in maintaining the operation of the Mountain-Guarding Formation.

"What bad luck! I, Ye Feng, haven't even Changsheng Never Dies yet, and I've already encountered the Calamity of the Three Realms. I hope our Night Household can successfully weather this Calamity."

Ye Feng, originally Candidate Saint of the Taihua Sacred Ground, is now Great Perfection Immortal Emperor, but he is still far from Changsheng Never Dies.

Seeing that the Holy Land had many more experts from Sects, and that people's hearts were unsettled, he couldn't help but feel as if he were walking on thin ice.

In the face of the great Calamity will engulf the Three Realms, even Great Expert may perish, and some old monsters will emerge from seclusion. Immortal Emperor Realm level experts are truly nothing special.

"Heroes are made by the times. Only in Calamity in the Three Realms will true power be born. Ye Feng, are you afraid?"

A man dressed in a golden Daoist Robe appeared, showing no fear, but rather fervent enthusiasm.

"Jiang Yu, the Calamity of the Three Realms is no joke. Back then, our Night Household ancestor and your Jiang Household ancestor followed their master, the Taihua Sword Maiden, to fight against the Demon Realm Army. As a result, their Dao Seals were damaged in that battle, and they all passed away soon after. The Taihua Sword Maiden was even buried in the Divine Maiden Dao Ruins. Even experts like our Night Household ancestor and your Jiang Household ancestor could not survive the Calamity, let alone us, who are only at the Immortal Emperor Realm, who are not even as good as Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan."

Seeing Jiang Yu's confidence, Ye Feng tried to undermine his resolve.

After Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan took control of the Taihua Sacred Ground, the Lin Household family's power in the Holy Land increased even more. The Jiang Household, which was second only to the Lin Household family, declined. Jiang Sheng and Jiang Yu stopped causing trouble for Lu Changsheng and instead lived in seclusion. Even Ye Feng thought that Jiang Yu had finally given in to Lu Changsheng.

Regardless of Jiang Yu's thoughts, Ye Feng was completely convinced by Lu Changsheng.

Although Ye Feng had once competed for the position of Saint and was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Changsheng's eventual ascension, the two did not become enemies. Furthermore, Lu Changsheng's two victories over the Heavenly Emperor's Son completely won Ye Feng over, and Ye Feng was quite convinced of his Qi Ingestion, becoming an Elder of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

"Hmph, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

When Jiang Yu heard Ye Feng compare him to Lu Changsheng and Lin Qinghan, his face darkened.

He had not forgotten the humiliation Lu Changsheng had brought him and the opportunity he had lost to take control of the Taihua Sacred Ground.

Jiang Yu flicked his sleeves and left, returning to the mountain peak belonging to the Jiang Clan.

"This guy is still Qi Ingestion. But what can we mortals do, no matter how Qi Ingestion we are, in the face of a true genius? Lu Changsheng is the real genius."

Ye Feng had already begun to idolize Lu Changsheng, who was the same age as him.

Even if Jiang Yu was Qi Ingestion, he had to keep it to himself.

Amidst the widespread panic in the Taihua Sacred Ground, the most feared event has still occurred.

Just two days after the Flame Virtue Sect fled to Taihua Divine Mountain, towering dark clouds pressed down on the Taihua Divine Mountain.

Wherever the dark clouds went, lives were lost and the land was left barren!

The dark clouds even gleamed with a bloody light, and the air was filled with a pungent, bloody stench.

"The Demon Realm Army is here!"

"Their target was indeed the Holy Land!"

"We fell for their diversionary tactic!"

The Sects experts gathered at the Taihua Sacred Ground turned pale with extreme fear upon seeing the boundless Demonic Clouds.

The Demon Realm Army's siege of the Leize Holy Land is likely a ploy to lure powerful figures from other Holy Lands to its aid, and then launch a counter-offensive against those Holy Lands.

"Everyone must refrain from any rash actions and act according to the plan."

Lin Qinghan's voice rang in everyone's ears, putting them at ease.

Lin Qinghan stood in front of the main hall of Taihua Divine Mountain, looking south. She saw boundless Devil Qi, blotting out the sun, as if night had fallen and the Changye Weiyang.

Horror, oppressive.

The Demon Realm Army descended, and as the Deputy Sacred Lord of the Taihua Sacred Ground, she had no way to avoid it.

"It's finally here."

A slender figure appeared; it was Lin Shiyu.

Lin Shiyu placed her hand on Lin Qinghan's slightly nervous shoulder. "What's meant to happen will happen eventually, you don't need to be nervous."

"Yes, senior."

Lin Qinghan took a deep breath. The Holy Land was guarded by Lin Shiyu, and Taihua Divine Mountain also had Mountain-Guarding Formation.

The Mountain-Guarding Formation was set up by the Taihua Sword Maiden, and Lin Shiyu, as the Taihua Sword Maiden 'Mountain-Guarding Formation younger sister, was very familiar with it.

The billowing Devil Qi completely enveloped Taihua Divine Mountain, turning daytime into night. Only the light from the five-colored Barrier and torches illuminated the sacred mountain.

The Devil Qi was blocked by the five-colored Barrier, preventing it from advancing further.

"The Taihua Sword Maiden is not only exceptionally skilled in Sword Art, but also possesses profound Daoist magic. The Mountain-Guarding Formation she left behind is unpredictable and ever-changing. However, I have come here today specifically to break this array."

Amidst the endless Devil Qi, a gaunt man appeared. He carried a Demon Sword on his back, his right hand was wrapped in bandages, and his sinister triangular eyes coldly gazed at the people inside the Barrier, sending chills down their spines.

Behind this powerful Demon Realm, countless Demon Soldiers Demon Generals appeared, their Demon Banners fluttering, exuding a murderous aura.

"It's the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable."

Lin Shiyu revealed the identity of this powerful figure from the Demon Realm.

The powerful figures from Sects gathered at the Taihua Sacred Ground swallowed hard in fear.

In the Demon Realm, those who are qualified to be called Demon Venerable are all the most powerful Demons among Demons.

This Absolute Yin Demon Venerable is definitely a ruthless character.

"The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable... It is said that in the High Antiquity War, no fewer than five powerful beings died at his hands. He was skilled with a sword, but he was once defeated by the Taihua Sword Maiden."

Immortal Emperor Buyi to recall the records in the Holy Land's books.

Although the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable was defeated by the Taihua Sword Maiden, he was definitely a ruthless person. Now that the Taihua Sword Maiden has passed away, it is unknown whether Lin Shiyu is a match for the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

Immortal Emperor Buyi Yi glanced at Lin Shiyu Yu Guang and saw that Lin Shiyu also had a solemn expression on her face.

Immortal Emperor Buyi's heart skipped a beat, and he gave a helpless bitter smile. It seemed that this Calamity would be difficult to overcome.

If Lin Shiyu was so serious, the other Sects experts were even more breathless when facing the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

This is a peerless powerhouse at the level of a demon Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm.

Without the Mountain-Guarding Formation of Taihua Divine Mountain, they would have been slaughtered by the Demon Realm Army of the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

"Lin Beichen, you come from the Taihua Sacred Ground, do you know the flaws in the Mountain-Guarding Formation?"

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable looked at the helper that the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable had arranged for him.

Lin Beichen glanced at the people from the Taihua Sacred Ground, then said, "The Mountain-Guarding Formation won't be activated lightly unless absolutely necessary. Aside from a few elders, it's extremely difficult for anyone to access its mysteries. I don't know."

"It's that Traitor Lin Beichen!"

"How did he already reach the Immortality Realm?!"

"This Traitor's talent is truly astonishing."

The people of Taihua Sacred Ground recognized Lin Beichen were surprised and furious that he had broken through to the Immortality Realm.

Some of the Elders of the Holy Land, in particular, who had experienced the events of that year, were so angry that they were practically fuming.

Some of them had even guided Lin Beichen in his cultivation back then, but Lin Beichen actually betrayed his sect and led Demon Realm Army to take revenge on it.

"Useless trash! If you don't know how to break the formation, what did the Illusory Netherworld Demon Venerable Lord send you for?" The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable was dissatisfied with Lin Beichen. He clapped his hands, and four of his subordinates stepped forward. "Let me show you how I break the formation. You four, obey my orders."

"Four powerful Demon Realm!"

The Taihua Sacred Ground Elder and the Sects Sect Master felt their scalps tingle as they sensed the terrifying aura of the four subordinates of the Absolute Yin Demon Venerable.

The Absolute Yin Demon Venerable was already difficult to deal with, but now he also has four Demon Realm Absolute Yin Demon Venerable his command!

On the Taihua Sacred Ground side, only Lin Shiyu remained as a powerful figure!
