The Impatient Three Mountains Alliance

Xu Gang and several other elders.

After leaving the Jingyun Sect, they traveled straight ahead until they arrived at a newly established, massive encampment.

It was a mere few dozen miles from the Jingyun Sect's mountain gate.

With the speed of martial artists, it would take no more than a few hours to reach.

Anyone with a discerning eye could detect the faint scent of gunpowder lingering in the air.

By the time Xu Gang and his group arrived, the place was already teeming with various factions, the air thick with noise and a chilling murderous intent.

There were even quite a few familiar faces.

Those were former disciples of the Jingyun Sect; after leaving the sect, a large portion of them had come here.

The Three Mountains Alliance encampment.

"Haha, Elder Xu Gang, you've come as well?"

Seeing Xu Gang and his group arrive, someone couldn't help but laugh.

"Mm."

Xu Gang and the others nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

"Please!"

The man gestured with his hand, revealing a smile that everyone understood.

Since they had come, they were comrades; as long as they were willing to contribute effort, they would naturally receive a share of the spoils once the Jingyun Sect was destroyed.

Wave after wave of people arrived one after another.

Gradually, thousands of people had gathered here, all of them cultivators.

Among them were many skilled experts.

Faintly sensing the auras, there were even those at the seventh or eighth rank.

Many of these people had rushed over from all corners of the Southern Region, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the upcoming assault on the Jingyun Sect.

Inside the command tent.

The leaders of the Lin Family, Ghost Head Mountain, and the Universe Gate sat in the seats of honor.

Below them sat hundreds of people, their various powerful internal energies radiating outward, causing the air to ripple slightly.

"Hahaha, who would have thought that the high and mighty Jingyun Sect would have a day like this? How satisfying..."

A man with a scarred face threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"Hmph, the Jingyun Sect—my second brother merely took a fancy to a mortal woman and killed a few ants who tried to resist; shouldn't that be expected? As dignified cultivators, what is wrong with that? Yet, some old fossil from the Jingyun Sect, jealous of my second brother's good looks, slapped him to death directly!"

A thin, sharp-featured man bared his teeth and roared in anger.

"And me!"

"I was just drunk one day and felt like killing a mortal or two to relieve some boredom, but I was hunted for hundreds of miles by an inner disciple of the Jingyun Sect! They even hacked off one of my arms just to avenge a few mortals—it's absolutely outrageous!"

Another man with a ferocious face stood up, revealing that one of his arms was missing.

"The brother is absolutely right!"

The sharp-featured man nodded in agreement upon hearing this!

He was right!

We cultivators are inherently superior.

They were just a bunch of mortal ants; killing them was nothing, yet that damned Jingyun Sect loved to meddle in other people's business!

Oppressing the weak!

"Hmph, I think those people in the Jingyun Sect are just cold-blooded demons; they were just looking for any excuse to bully you!"

Someone snorted coldly, exposing a chest covered in scars, clearly having had his own grievances with the Jingyun Sect.

Listening to the conversation below, some of the former elders and disciples of the Jingyun Sect had their faces twitch.

But they couldn't be bothered to argue with these lunatics.

In any case, their original goal was profit.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have betrayed the sect.

As for the matters these people spoke of, they felt it really wasn't a big deal.

But they couldn't help it; there were always some self-righteous busybodies in the sect.

They had often suffered because of that in the past.

Over a hundred elders and disciples who had defected from the Jingyun Sect were gathered here, and their motives were all much the same.

Most of them were people who had been living unhappily in the Jingyun Sect.

Their talent was lacking, yet they were filled with jealousy.

They harbored resentment toward the sect and wanted to seize this opportunity to make a big score.

To say nothing else, the sect seemed to store a large quantity of high-quality medicinal pills.

As an elder, Xu Gang had once been fortunate enough to witness such a scene.

That yellow-haired girl who had the dumb luck to become the Young Sect Master had actually pulled out a Pill Pattern-grade medicinal pill as if it were nothing, giving it away as a gift!

A medicinal pill!

A Pill Pattern-grade one!

Just giving it away casually!

How preposterous!

To think the sect would let a yellow-haired girl waste such precious medicinal treasures!

And not give them to him, an elder!

What had he done wrong?

Was it not just embezzling a little, suppressing a few disciples, and collecting some kickbacks here and there?

Wasn't that perfectly normal?

Why did everyone reject him, alienate him, and target him?

He refused to accept it!

He didn't fear poverty, but he feared inequality!

Since the Jingyun Sect was heartless, they couldn't blame him for being unrighteous!

"Ahem."

"Everyone, since you have all arrived, Lin will stop beating around the bush and speak plainly!"

On the high platform, the head of the Lin Family pressed his hand down, and the venue fell silent.

Then, he spoke in a resonant voice.

"The Jingyun Sect, as one of the ten great sects of the Southern Region, is heartless and unrighteous, having committed countless slaughters and bullied the weak while fearing the strong, leading to the people's suffering. Now that they have finally met their retribution, Lin feels a deep sense of lament."

"In the past, the Jingyun Sect was powerful and had an Innate expert presiding over it. We, the oppressed good citizens, could only swallow our anger!"

"We dared not utter a single word of rebuttal!"

"Otherwise, it would invite a fatal disaster!"

"But now, the chief culprit of Jingyun, Old Lady Xu, has fallen, and their morale is scattered. Our opportunity to act on behalf of Heaven has arrived!"

The words of the Lin Family head truly struck a chord with everyone present.

"Well said!"

"The Jingyun Sect has committed many evils and deserves to be destroyed!"

"A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites who only know how to pick on those of us with weak strength. It's too detestable; I've long wanted to take revenge!"

For a moment, the entire venue was filled with intense emotions. Many people were even moved to tears, deeply touched after hearing his words!

Finally, someone understood them!

Finally, someone empathized!

They would no longer have to live a life of hiding!

Suddenly, all the pent-up grievances they had suffered during this time erupted at once, with many feeling as though they would gladly die for such a kindred spirit.

"Destroy the Jingyun Sect!"

"Destroy the Jingyun Sect!"

"Destroy the Jingyun Sect!"

Gradually, the calls for the destruction of the Jingyun Sect grew louder and louder, wave after wave!

"Everyone, rest assured. Destroying the Jingyun Sect is the core tenet of our Three Mountains Alliance; we will certainly not let you down!"

The head of the Lin Family took the opportunity to shout loudly, which unsurprisingly drew a round of cheers.

He nodded in satisfaction.

The three people on the platform exchanged secret glances, all of them revealing a hint of a smile.

When the time came to attack the Jingyun Sect, they would let these simple-minded fools serve as the first wave of cannon fodder.

After all, the Jingyun Sect was one of the ten great sects of the Southern Region.

Even if their Innate expert had fallen and a large number of disciples had fled.

A starved camel was still larger than a horse.

The core strength of the sect remained.

The foundation accumulated over so many years was still there.

It was not something that could be easily taken down just by empty talk.

Therefore, it was even more necessary to gather sufficient strength to ensure that the upcoming assault would be foolproof.

"The Jingyun Sect's main elite forces are far away on the front lines."

"Their Xiantian experts in the rear have fallen, and they have lost a large number of elders and disciples without having had time to replenish them."

"This is the moment their defenses are at their weakest; we must seize this opportunity and crush them in one blow!"

"As long as we take down the Jingyun Sect and absorb them, the Three Mountains Alliance will be the next great sect of the Southern Region!"

"By then, even if those fellows on the front lines react, we will have already occupied the Jingyun Sect, and I believe we will be able to swallow them whole as well!"

"It has been so many years; it is time for us to enjoy the treatment of a one-star sect!"

At this thought, the three of them burst into laughter.

This laughter seemed to ignite a fuse, and earth-shaking guffaws erupted throughout the large tent. The Jingyun Sect was already within their grasp, and some were even beginning to ponder.

Once the Jingyun Sect was taken, how should their accumulated ill-gotten gains be distributed?

Once they obtained enough wealth, how should they spend it?

This was a major question!

Thinking of this, many fell into deep contemplation, smiles curling onto their lips involuntarily.

Contemplating such a bright future, their burning hearts could hardly wait any longer.
