"Once we charge in, start killing immediately!"
"Do you understand?!"
As they were about to reach the territory controlled by the Liyue Immortal Dynasty, Chen Haichao, one of the four Hall Masters, ordered in a cold voice:
"A sneak attack! The point is to catch them off guard. You know, many cultivators die because they talk too much..."
However, before he could even finish his sentence!
A sound of something piercing through the air rang out from afar, and the sky suddenly grew bright.
"Swoosh--"
Chen Haichao's expression changed drastically. He looked over in shock, only to see a streak of light shooting toward them as fast as lightning!
It was a swift arrow refined into a magical treasure, possessing immense power!
Wherever it passed, it seemed as if even space itself could be pierced!
The arrow erupted with a brilliant, magnificent light, but the power it radiated was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear!
Chen Haichao was locked firmly in its sights!
He instinctively wanted to scream, but then, his pupils dilated continuously.
He saw a scene that terrified him to his core!
A cold chill shot straight from his spine to the top of his head, and cold sweat poured down.
He heard the sound of air being pierced ringing out from all directions!
Various brilliant lights made this patch of heaven and earth incredibly bright, even blinding.
And amidst the light, dense swarms of magical treasure arrows, like raindrops, poured down frantically!
"We've been ambushed..."
Chen Haichao screamed in horror, but a swift arrow was already flying toward the center of his brow!
He had no choice but to hurriedly activate his techniques and supernatural powers, raising a magical treasure to defend himself!
Boom!
Bang, bang, bang!
The arrow pierced through several layers of defense in succession, slamming directly into a pearl in front of Chen Haichao before its power was finally spent.
But at this moment, hellish screams reached Chen Haichao's ears.
Magical treasure arrows continued to shoot in.
They had come to act as the vanguard for a sneak attack; no one expected that before they had even begun, they would fall into an ambush.
At this moment, apart from the four Hall Masters who had reached the Void Refinement realm.
The rest of the Nine Absolutes Sect members were being slaughtered one-sidedly, their bodies pierced by the arrows.
Some were able to escape with their primordial spirits.
But most were destroyed body and soul, turning into mists of blood.
Chen Haichao shouted in a low voice: "Quick, set up a defensive formation!"
In the chaos, he roared, activating a powerful supernatural ability to carve out a vacuum zone amidst the rain of arrows.
In this desperate situation, the remaining members of the Nine Absolutes Sect quickly arranged themselves into a formation.
However, just then, the arrows stopped.
In their place, sheets of talismans drifted down from the sky.
"Thunder Explosion Talismans and Purple Flame Talismans!"
Chen Haichao cried out, his eyes wide as copper bells, his heart filled with despair.
Even he felt a strong sense of crisis from these talismans.
They were clearly high-grade talismans.
If these hundreds or thousands of talismans were to detonate simultaneously, the area for dozens of miles around would become a sea of thunder and fire.
How could anyone survive that?
In his desperation, Chen Haichao could no longer care about the formation, and he shouted for mercy, his voice laced with spiritual power:
"It's all a misunderstanding, we surrender and beg for mercy..."
However, the only response he received was a series of detonating talismans, deafening and shaking the very heavens and earth.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This patch of heaven and earth instantly turned into a sea of purple fire, the terrifying high temperature burning everything into nothingness.
And within the sea of fire, violent thunderous power surged.
With such terrifying might, even a cultivator at the Void Refinement realm would end up severely injured or dead if caught in the middle of it.
In the distance.
Du Jiuyou led hundreds of men as they waited for good news from the front.
As long as the various strongholds were breached, he could lead these elites, all composed of Spirit Transformation cultivators, and drive straight in!
His divine sense spread out, and he had already detected a startling tremor coming from ahead!
"The battle has begun!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Du Jiuyou's eyes, and he said with a ferocious expression, "Charge! Follow me and leave none of them alive!"
"The time to achieve glory and seize resources is now!"
Behind him, the faces of hundreds of men surged with madness, and a shocking killing intent swept outward.
"Kill! Kill! Drive the Liyue Immortal Dynasty out of the Heavenly Absolute Mountain Range!"
"Move!"
Du Jiuyou took the lead, his figure turning into a rainbow of light, shooting forward like a swift arrow.
His speed was so fast that not even an afterimage could be seen.
The others also unleashed their fastest speed to catch up, like hungry wolves that had discovered their prey.
They were afraid that if they were a step too slow, they wouldn't get a share of the spoils.
The group of Nine Absolutes Sect cultivators turned into a torrent, sweeping madly toward the territory of the Liyue Immortal Dynasty.
It took less than a quarter of an hour for them to break into the opponent's domain.
It was unexpectedly smooth.
Du Jiuyou stopped and said vigilantly, "Why isn't there even the sound of fighting? Did Chen Haichao and the others act so quickly?"
"Did they finish off the strongholds and rush in ahead of us without waiting?"
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has simply been changed!
The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt it was!
The people of the Liyue Immortal Dynasty were unprepared, and it was impossible for them to have guessed that the Nine Absolutes Sect would suddenly launch a war!
Under such circumstances, a sneak attack would achieve the greatest effect.
Du Jiuyou cursed them inwardly and thought about leading his disciples to continue forward.
However, at that very moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently.
"Not good, prepare to defend!"
The next moment, the scene before them changed bit by bit, and various light curtains lit up.
The green mountains and clear waters before them all shifted their appearance.
Du Jiuyou's tone sank: "We've been tricked; we are inside someone else's formation."
A sudden uproar broke out.
Many faces revealed expressions of horror.
Just then, the grand formation had completely formed, and an invisible light curtain trapped the hundreds of men firmly inside.
Wei Lan, commander of the Black Shadow Guard, arrived through the air.
Behind her, the eight great generals and hundreds of elite guards of the Immortal Dynasty followed closely.
At this moment, everyone looked at Wei Lan with faces full of admiration.
The Nine Absolutes Sect had actually come to launch a sneak attack!
Wei Lan smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to look at me like that; all of this was the Emperor's decree!"
The eight generals straightened their expressions and bowed, saying in unison, "The Emperor is wise!"
A moment later, the group arrived outside the grand formation.
A bright smile appeared on Wei Lan's beautiful face as she said coldly:
"Old Monster Du, didn't expect this, did you?"
Inside the formation, the group of Nine Absolutes Sect members, including Du Jiuyou, saw Wei Lan appear.
Their faces all surged with deep terror.
Wei Lan, commander of the Black Shadow Guard!
The methods this female devil used to torture people were said to be something even immortals couldn't withstand!
What made Du Jiuyou even more desperate was that Wei Lan had appeared here.
It meant that the other side had long since made all the preparations!
But how exactly had they been exposed? He racked his brains, but he couldn't think of where things had gone wrong.
"Wei Lan!"
"What do you want? Aren't you afraid that my Nine Absolutes Sect will launch an all-out war?"
Du Jiuyou still clung to a sliver of hope.
He was gambling that Wei Lan wouldn't dare to burn all bridges, fearing a complete fallout between the two sides.
"Hehe..."
Wei Lan's smile grew even more radiant as she said, "Rest assured, I won't kill you just yet."
Du Jiuyou and the others let out a sigh of relief.
But then they heard her voice ring out once more: "However, I will torture you all, castrate you, and send you to the palace to serve as little eunuchs!"
"..."
Du Jiuyou and his companions felt their hearts sink; although they weren't world-renowned, they were at least experts in their own right.
If their cultivation were crippled and they were castrated to serve as eunuchs in the palace!
They would rather be killed.
By then, not only would they be ruined, but the Nine Absolutes Sect would also bear a massive humiliation and become a laughingstock.
Du Jiuyou felt a chill in his heart and roared, "You female devil, if you have the guts, just kill me!"
Nine Absolutes Sect.
Inside a palace atop a peak with unique scenery, Lei Jue had a pot of fine spirit tea set before him.
Yet, he had no heart to savor it.
For some reason, he felt a sense of unease at this moment.
Fortunately, the soul tablets of Du Jiuyou and the others sent to the Nine Absolutes Mountain Range had not shattered.
Otherwise, how could he still sit here so calmly?
Lei Jue muttered to himself, "Nothing will go wrong. With so many people, a sneak attack on the Heavenly Absolute Mountain Range is more than enough!"
"However, logically speaking, news should have arrived by now!"
"I'll wait a little longer..."
Jiang Clan territory.
Within a hidden grotto-heaven, Jiang Wuji frowned and whispered, "What kind of trick is Lei Jue pulling?"
"It's been so long, why hasn't any news come back?"
He then reasoned that the Liyue Immortal Dynasty was indeed no ordinary power, so a slight delay was likely normal.
There were a dozen other figures present here.
Someone asked, "Could something have happened to Lei Jue?"
Jiang Wuji smiled faintly and shook his head: "Rest assured, everything is under control!"
"Ye Qingge cannot stir up any waves!"
However, this wait stretched on for another few days.
Before they knew it.
The date for the next entry of the Great Emperor's Diary had arrived.
Jiang Wuji looked at the many figures present and said calmly, "Do not panic, everyone; everything is within my grasp!"
"No matter what, the established plan will not change!"
He paused, then smiled again: "Let's look at the diary first!"
"I want to see what other tricks the Immortal Great Emperor has up his sleeve. Hmph, in a few more days, no matter how flowery his writing is, it won't be able to shake us."
