The Mouse That Bit Back
In a vast Nether Void hundreds of miles away from the Demon City, five powerful beings of unknown origin concealed themselves. Working together, they forcefully carved out a temporary small space amidst the endless Void Turbulence, demonstrating astonishing power.
"Right now, a massive war is about to break out across the entire Eastern Xuan Region, and the balance of power among the eight coexisting forces will be altered as a result. All five of us have arrived, so why hasn't the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress come yet? Does she think that Taiqing Palace can remain uninvolved?"
The speaker was an old man in blue robes carrying a large blue sword on his back.
As he spoke, countless sharp sword energies seemed to emanate from his mouth and nose, constantly cutting the surrounding space into small pieces.
"Sect Master Mo Cheng, it's fine if Supreme Pure Palace Mistress doesn't come. The important thing is that the five of us need to discuss what to do next. If Yuan Sect and Dao Sect really start a war on the spot, how should the Six Great Sects of us act?"
Beside the old man in blue, a muscular man with coiled dragons all over his body frowned.
Beneath those bulging muscles seemed to lie a terrifying power, like a Primeval Desolation beast lying quietly in place, which, once unleashed, could shatter the entire space with a single punch.
"Hmph, let them fight if they want to. It would be best if both of them fell out of the top eight, so that their positions would be ours. It's time for the top eight to change."
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe with a somewhat stiff face. A faint, extremely sinister aura emanated from his body.
"Gate Master Gui Yan, you are mistaken!"
The remaining two mysterious beings objected without hesitation.
The moment they spoke, the immense Mental Energy surrounding them, as vast as a surging ocean, distorted a large area of space.
"Hey, the six families aren't of one mind, and the Taiqing Palace hasn't even shown up. What's the point of this discussion? Even if we discuss it until the end of the war, we still won't come up with a plan."
Seeing this, the elderly man in blue robes carrying a greatsword who had spoken first sighed helplessly, rubbed his temples, and raised his voice. "Gentlemen, please hear me out..."
The meeting of the leaders of the five Super Sect — Sword Sect, Primeval Desolation Hall, Myriad Puppet Sect, Divine Sect, and Talisman Valley— is destined to be an endless conflict.
The five Super Sect are all powerful forces that suppress their respective regions, each with its own agenda. Unless a major disaster or crisis occurs that threatens all the forces present, the five sects will never easily unite.
At present, all these five renowned super experts from the Eastern Xuan Region can do is watch the battle from afar and wait for the situation to develop. That's all.
High in the sky, the tense standoff continued.
Logically speaking, the three giants of the Yuan Sect would never risk a full-scale war against the Dao Sect, which was prepared to Jade and Stone Annihilation, for the sake of a Dao Sect disciple. They would surely be hesitant to act rashly and simply let the matter drop.
However, Yuan Sect is no ordinary sect; behind it lies the Heaven Shaking Demonic Shadow of the Demon Prison, which looms in the shadows.
Eliminating top experts or forces that may pose a threat to the Yi Mo is one of the tasks that Yuan Sect must accomplish without revealing itself.
Lin Dong, like Zhou Tong a hundred years ago, is a (future) super strongman who has the potential to grow and hinder the Demon Prison Project, and must be eliminated.
The Dao Sect, which has produced super geniuses like Zhou Tong and Lin Dong, is the source of chaos. It would be better to simply eliminate it or severely damage it.
Therefore, the answer from the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants is...
"Heh, Ying Xuanzi, what gave your Dao Sect the illusion that you could drag my Yuan Sect down with Jade and Stone Annihilation? I'll ask you one last time, will you hand over Lin Dong or not?"
Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Tian Yuanzi, the leader of the Three Giants, suddenly sneered.
"Tch, Tian Yuanzi, you really are incredibly stupid."
Ying Xuanzi's lips curled into a sharp smile, full of sarcasm.
"Since that's the case, then... let's fight! Let's begin!"
Having no intention of reconciliation whatsoever, Tian Yuanzi immediately roared, followed closely by Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi. Three immeasurable, overwhelming pressures swept out like a raging river, instantly filling the entire world.
"Grand Elder..."
"Death is the only hardship of the ages, what's there to be afraid of? Let's fight!"
Ying Xuanzi's expression was solemn. Before he could finish speaking, the Blue-robed Old Man interrupted him directly. Two powerful waves subtly merged together and fearlessly met each other.
"Wait a minute!"
"Wait!"
Just as this earth-shattering battle was about to erupt, space suddenly distorted, and two mysterious figures of different shapes slowly emerged almost simultaneously.
One was a graceful and elegant woman in white. When she appeared, endless celestial music suddenly resounded in the sky, bells and drums rang out, and clouds and mist swirled. Behind her, the phantom of an ancient fairyland, boundless and vast, appeared and disappeared. That was the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Realm.
One Black Robed Old Man wearing a black crown. When he was born, the entire world instantly darkened. The darkness was terrifyingly pure, so pure that it made people's hearts tremble. It was as if the world had returned to the beginning of time.
The two appeared amidst an extremely grand spectacle, clearly indicating they were not ordinary people.
"That is the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, and also a Samsara Stage expert."
"I also recognize that dignified old man wearing a black crown. Bo Xuan, the Hall Master of the Darkness Palace in the Northern Xuan Region, a top-tier Samsara Stage expert who wields the Darkness Ancestral Symbol."
"Good heavens! How come Great Master at the Samsara Stage, who are rarely seen in the past few decades, have appeared here today?"
As their identities were revealed, a commotion immediately broke out throughout the land.
"Damn it, that wicked woman from the Taiqing Palace isn't just ignoring this; she's practically planning to take action directly!!!"
From that hidden temporary space came a series of exclamations and sighs of admiration. It could be said that the five Sect Master leaders were quite shocked, and they were all knocked over.
"Huh? What's that?"
The two Mysterious Expert appeared at the same time were both startled when they saw each other, and then subconsciously bowed.
"If I had known that Lin Dong had so many tricks up his sleeve, I wouldn't have come out."
The two Great Master the Samsara Stage secretly grumbled to themselves, and then immediately stood with Ying Xuanzi and the other person.
"The Supreme Pure Palace Mistress, the Darkness Palace Master..."
Upon seeing the two figures suddenly appear, the pupils of Tian Yuanzi and the other two instinctively contracted, and then they exchanged a glance, their faces all terribly gloomy.
Today's events are unlikely to end well; the situation has completely spiraled out of control.
Lin Dong was nothing more than a small mouse that the Three Giants could crush at will, yet he turned out to be surprisingly difficult to handle, with many unexpected twists and turns. Just who was he to be able to attract four Great Master beings at the Samsara Stage to protect him?
The Three Great Yuan Gate Giants were completely baffled!
P. S.: To be honest, as two of the eight major sects, Yuan Sect and Dao Sect are about to engage in a massive war, yet the other six sects haven't reacted at all. They're just guarding their own sects and doing whatever they want. This is completely illogical! How have the Six Great Sects survived to this day and maintained their lineage for thousands of years? They have absolutely no political sensitivity.
Therefore, I'll add some scenes featuring the other Six Great Sects characters.
