The Southern Theater had been reduced to scorched earth, with smoke rising everywhere.
The Demon Sect's martial artists had slaughtered until they were delirious, charging into the Southern Theater and killing anyone they saw, snatching anything they could. As long as a martial artist wasn't wearing a black robe, they basically couldn't escape death if they crossed paths with these people!
On the first day, Gu Daozhi sat inside Heaven's Mandate Pass and said coldly, "I just received word that the second line of defense has also been wiped out. The Demon Sect is expected to appear beneath Heaven's Mandate Pass by tomorrow evening!"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Xiao...!"
Gu Daozhi looked toward Bai Xiaoxiao!
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "Have the martial artists of Heaven's Mandate Pass prepare for battle!"
Gu Daozhi slapped the table and rose to his feet. "Pass down the order! All the martial artists of Eastern Continent Academy are to prepare for battle with all their strength!"
Inside the great hall, all the experts and Quasi-Holy Sons of Eastern Continent Academy wore thick shadows across their faces.
There was no retreat left in this battle!
Inside Heaven's Mandate Pass, all the martial artists pulled themselves together and waited for the final battle to begin!
That night, Lin Bai appeared atop the city wall of Heaven's Mandate Pass. The City Protection Formation had already been activated. Through the formation, Lin Bai saw figures in black robes scattered throughout the mountain range before Heaven's Mandate Pass.
"Heaven's Mandate Pass!"
"Was this name meant to show that this place is the fated land of Jianghai Domain?"
"If this place falls, Jianghai Domain will be in grave danger."
Lin Bai spoke coldly.
"The great battle is about to begin, so why do I feel so uneasy..."
