Rebellion Suppression War

"By order of the Hall Master, the Fire Cloud Sect has rebelled. Today, every traitor of the Fire Cloud Sect will be executed without exception!"

In the sky, the thunderous sound of war drums resounded, and the Tribunal Army stood majestically, their rolling murderous aura blotting out the sun, making each warrior appear even more awe-inspiring.

Zhong Kui, standing at the head of the group, gazed coldly down below, as if reciting an imperial edict, announcing the demise of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Lin Langtian, standing among the Tribunal Army, felt an intense sense of pressure and couldn't help but be terrified by the domineering nature of the Darkness Hall.

This is exactly the style of the Central Imperial Dynasty, where words are law and everything is obeyed, a world apart from the loose structure of other Xuan Domains.

The Fire Cloud Sect is doomed today.

The entire sky gradually quieted down. Even Tang Lie, the Sect Master of the Fire Cloud Sect, was still shaken by the murderous aura of the Tribunal Army and dared not reply for a moment.

A moment later, seeing the morale of the Fire Cloud Sect gradually decline, Tang Lie gritted his teeth and looked at Zhong Kui, who was in the lead, and the men behind him.

The man with the red longsword and Ghost Face Mask, according to regulations, belongs to the Camp Commander level of the Tribunal Army, and there are probably only about four hundred people behind him.

In other words, the Darkness Hall's Tribunal Army only dispatched a single battalion to destroy his Fire Cloud Sect.

Seeing this, the ambitious Tang Lie felt deeply humiliated, but also couldn't help feeling a sense of relief.

Although the Tribunal Army is renowned, if it only sends out one battalion, the Fire Cloud Sect may not be without any chance of survival!

"Hmph, the Darkness Hall is domineering and does not care about the feelings of us weak forces at all. For so many years, the Darkness Hall has been plundering and extorting, but little do they know that the Northern Xuan Region has long suffered under the Darkness Hall!"

My Tang Lie of that branch hall master was merely an act of justice. From this day forward, my Fire Cloud Sect will no longer be bound by the Darkness Hall. We will each go our own way, like water flowing freely between rivers!

Facing the Tribunal Army, Tang Lie's eyes showed a hint of fear, and he immediately shouted coldly.

However, he wanted to coexist peacefully with the Darkness Hall, but the Tribunal Army obviously wouldn't allow it. For the overlord of the Northern Xuan Region, Tang Lie's actions had clearly touched the Darkness Hall's sore spot, and his crime was unforgivable!

"You have no right to judge the conduct of my Darkness Hall. You only see the Darkness Hall's dominance over the Northern Xuan Region, but you don't know that it is precisely because of the Darkness Hall's existence that the Northern Xuan Region is the most peaceful of the Four Great Xuan Regions. Therefore, your provocation of my Darkness Hall must be repaid with blood. Today, not a single member of the Fire Cloud Sect will be spared!"

After saying this, Zhong Kui was too lazy to continue arguing with Tang Lie. He waved his hand and then coldly shouted.

"Kill!"

In the sky, hundreds of figures in black leaped out and appeared outside the Fire Cloud Sect. The eyes behind the Ghost Face Mask looked coldly at the people of the Fire Cloud Sect. With Zhong Kui's command, hundreds of figures full of murderous aura rushed directly into the Fire Cloud Sect.

Lin Langtian stayed with the group, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Qing Tan, so that he could protect her at crucial moments.

The duties of the Shadow Guard must not be forgotten.

Seeing the Tribunal Army charging in, Tang Lie's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy. He hadn't expected the Darkness Hall to be so fast; he hadn't even finished integrating the Southern River Realm before they attacked.

However, things have come to this point, and there is nothing left to do but fight. If he can defeat the Tribunal Army, then many forces in the Southern River Realm will have no choice but to compromise and follow him to the Eastern Xuan Region to establish new forces. At that time, his plan will be considered complete.

If they lose, there will be no future. Tang Lie felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the Tribunal Army's style.

In the Northern Xuan Region, the Darkness Tribunal a force that can silence even the most infant's tears.

"Fire Cloud Sect members, listen to my command! Surrender or you will only face death. Only by fighting to the death will you have a chance of survival. Follow me and kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Lie took the lead and charged towards Zhong Kui. Both of them were experts in the Death Profound Stage, so they naturally chose each other as their opponents with great tacit understanding.

"The Sect Master is right, kill!"

With things having come to this point, although a hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the remaining Fire Cloud Sect Elder, a resolute look quickly appeared on their faces. They then led the Fire Cloud Sect disciples to charge towards the Tribunal Army.

Those powerful figures from the Southern River Realm who had been pandering to Tang Lie in the hall earlier turned pale upon seeing this scene. They never expected that before they could rise to prominence with the Fire Cloud Sect, they would be punished by the Darkness Hall.

However, considering the Darkness Hall's cruel practices, they had no choice but to go down this path. After gritting their teeth, they followed the Fire Cloud Sect and charged towards the Tribunal Army.

As for the remaining leaders of various factions, they looked at each other and then revealed extremely bitter smiles.

They never imagined that they would be inexplicably drawn into a Rebellion Suppression War by the Darkness Hall, and that they might even be considered traitors by the Darkness Hall.

For now, they can only remain innocently in place, hoping to gain the forgiveness of the Darkness Hall after the war ends.

Boom!

A violent surge of Yuan energy swept wildly across the heavens and earth, accompanied by a thick stench of blood and killing intent that permeated the sky, turning it a dark red hue.

The vast Fire Cloud Sect plaza was now in complete chaos. Two torrents collided, and without any further words, they unleashed their Yuan energy, unleashing numerous martial arts techniques, and then, with bloodshot eyes, fiercely attacked the enemy before them.

Such a chaotic battle can only be described as brutal.

Although the Fire Cloud Sect had a significant numerical advantage, the Tribunal Army was undoubtedly more elite and better trained. The four hundred Tribunal Army were like grim reapers, mercilessly reaping the lives of the Heavenly Profound Sect disciples.

After casually killing two Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage cultivators, Lin Langtian nodded in satisfaction upon seeing the surrounding battle situation.

The Camp Commander, Zhong Kui, is undoubtedly at the peak of the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success. Coupled with his extensive combat experience, even though Tang Lie is also at the Lesser Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, he will only be defeated without any special methods.

As for the ground battlefield, the four Flag Leader of the Tribunal Army are all at the Life Profound Stage Perfection and have outstanding strength. In addition, the Squad Leader also have the strength of the Life Profound Stage Small Success.

It can be said that although the Tribunal Army is only a battalion, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Fire Cloud Sect is doomed to destruction!

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but look towards a corner of the battlefield, where a fierce battle was also taking place.

Thump!

As two people at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage died tragically, a figure dressed in black, but with an extremely slender build, slowly emerged.

The slender figure appeared to be a woman, but she was wielding an exaggeratedly designed black scythe; it was none other than Qing Tan.

At this moment, the black giant scythe in Qing Tan's hand was stained with a layer of blood. Although she did not speak, an extremely sinister black light suddenly swept out from her body. Where the black light spread, it seemed that even the air was somewhat frozen.

"Such sinister Yuan Power... Is this Qing Tan's true strength...?"

Lin Langtian gazed at Qing Tan, whose entire body was enveloped in black light. The Yuan power of the Fiend Demon Body was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. The Yuan power of ordinary people was a fusion of Yin and Yang, but Qing Tan's Yuan power was extremely pure Yin and cold.

Qing Tan also noticed Lin Langtian's gaze, nodded slightly, and then her delicate body transformed into a streak of black light and shot out. Finally, she wielded her scythe, and two exceptionally cold black lights swept towards the two Fire Cloud Sect Elder who were at the Lesser Life Profound Stage Small Success not far away.

"Hmph, a mere Tribunal Guard dares to step forward? He's asking for death!"

Upon seeing the black longsword on Qing Tan's Ghost Face Mask, the two Fire Cloud Sect Elder immediately burst into angry laughter. With a swift movement, they pounced like tigers and leopards, unleashing a violent palm strike that enveloped Qing Tan.

Swish!

Facing the two's attacks, Qing Tan did not retreat. The black scythe in her hand flashed with an eerie cold light, and the next moment, she slashed out suddenly.

Laugh!

As the scythe cleaved out, a crack appeared in the space in front of him. The sharp blade flashed and appeared above the head of a Fire Cloud Sect Elder. In that moment, Qing Tan's attack seemed to pierce through space itself.

"Clang!"

A sword beam shot out from the side, just in time to stop the downward-sweeping blade. The Fire Cloud Sect Elder retreated in a panic, but a piece of flesh was still cleaved off his head, and blood immediately flowed down.

"Be careful, this person is also at the Life Profound Stage, and there's something strange about the scythe in her hand!" Another Fire Cloud Sect Elder said in a deep voice, his eyes narrowing upon seeing this.

Although he didn't know why an ordinary Tribunal Guard had such strength, he dared not underestimate Qing Tan at all.

Qing Tan glanced at the two men with shocked expressions, then said nothing more. She slashed out with her black scythe once more, and a fierce gust of wind swept out again, enveloping the two men. The two elders at the Life Profound Stage dared not be negligent any longer and hurriedly focused their attention to fight back with all their might.

"Oh, so you're challenging two minor Life Profound Stage Small Success at once?"

Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow as he watched Qing Tan directly confront two Fire Cloud Sect Elder. It seemed that Qing Tan was taking her training at the Darkness Tribunal very seriously.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian sighed softly. Becoming a strong person is not an easy path.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian also found a few opponents, but he did not show his true strength. After all, his main task was to protect Qing Tan, not to kill enemies.

Boom!

On the Fire Cloud Sect Sect's plaza, the sounds of battle rose into the sky. Everywhere one looked, there were people fighting with bloodshot eyes. Every now and then, Fire Cloud Sect disciples would be blasted away, coughing up blood, and flying backwards to the outer perimeter, their fate unknown.

The Tribunal Army's army showed absolutely no mercy; this was no friendly sparring match, but a true battle between sworn enemies!

In front of the main hall of the Fire Cloud Sect, many leaders of the Southern River Realm forces were gathered. At this moment, they were all somewhat moved as they watched the Rebellion Suppression War, their eyes reflecting a constant crimson light.

"As expected of the Tribunal Army, although their numbers are small, the Fire Cloud Sect has little room to resist." Someone in the crowd sighed.

If the Darkness Tribunal the most powerful department of the Darkness Hall, then the Tribunal Army is Darkness Tribunal sharpest sword. This sword has destroyed countless forces, and the Fire Cloud Sect is just one of them, or even an insignificant one.

"That Camp Commander commander is also extremely powerful. Even though Tang Lie is only at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, he has been at a disadvantage all along." Someone looked up at the fierce battlefield above, his eyes filled with deep solemnity, and said.

"Anyone who can become the commander of the Tribunal is naturally no ordinary person. That Tang Lie actually dared to dream of breaking free from the control of the Dark Temple and gathering us to dominate the Eastern Xuan Region. But now, he is no match for just one commander of the Tribunal. Not to mention the regimental commanders and elders above him. He is truly a fool's dream..." Someone sneered and said disdainfully.

"Alright, let's think about what we should do. Now that we've been dragged into the Fire Cloud Sect's rebellion, if we don't explain ourselves properly, we might end up like the Fire Cloud Sect," sighed an old man in a yellow robe.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment, clearly feeling immense pressure when facing the Darkness Hall.

High in the sky, Heavenly Yuan energy surged, and two beams of light, each carrying extremely violent fluctuations, tore through the heavens, finally colliding with a deafening roar amidst countless moved gazes.

Thump!

The moment of impact was like a thunderclap from the heavens, and visible ripples of Yuan energy spread out. One figure was thrown backward, his feet landing on the void before he regained his footing.

Another figure, clad in black, waved his hand, dissipating all the internal energy within the other's body. He looked at Tang Lie in the distance and sneered, "With such strength, you dare to kill my branch hall master? You're truly courting death."

"Killed them, so be it. Your Darkness Hall's domineering behavior will sooner or later force other major powers to rebel." Tang Lie's eyes showed a solemn expression as he said in a deep voice.

"So what? We'll wipe out every one of them who Tribunal Army us. Your Fire Cloud Sect Sect's destruction is neither the first nor the last." Zhong Kui glanced down at the chaotic battle between the two forces, where the Tribunal Army clearly held the upper hand.

Upon hearing this, Tang Lie glanced down and saw the Fire Cloud Sect disciples and elders who had suffered heavy casualties. His heart bled; these were all his hard-earned treasures.

His face was ashen, and then his gaze suddenly fell on the direction where Qing Tan was.

When he saw an ordinary Tribunal Guard facing two powerful elders of the Life Profound Stage alone, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, when he noticed the extremely unique black giant scythe in Qing Tan's hand, and recalled the rumors from the Darkness Hall Festival some time ago, he was surprised.

"Could this woman be..." Thinking of this, Tang Lie's eyes flickered slightly, but he was vaguely certain that this person was most likely Lin Qingtan, the beloved disciple of the Hall Master the Darkness Hall who had joined the Darkness Tribunal the trial!

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Tang Lie's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "It seems there's still a chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Lie gave a cold laugh, then waved his sleeve, and a bloody shadow slowly appeared in front of him.

Blood Shadow exuded a strong murderous aura. The moment he looked up, his two scarlet eyes were devoid of any emotion, filled only with an endless bloodlust and killing intent like that of a wild beast.

Lin Langtian also sensed this astonishing killing intent immediately. He looked up abruptly, and when he saw the blood-red figure, his expression changed slightly. He said in a deep voice.

"Blood Puppet at the Half-step Death Profound Stage!"
