Reopening the Ghost Gate

Zhang Yang left the Azure Cloud Sect once again, but this time he brought a larger group of people with him.

Besides the five Demon Lords, there are also Hu Dali and Hualingzi.

The five Demon Lords were bodyguards, Hu Dali was there because of his visit to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and Hualingzi represented the attitude of the Azure Cloud Sect.

In any case, Hu Dali has been in the Azure Cloud Sect for so many years, it's perfectly reasonable for him to send an elder to pay a visit.

However, the group left the Azure Cloud Sect quietly, and not many people knew about it.

Azure Cloud Master watched the group leave, then ordered Ling Yunzi and the others to be on guard.

Because only he knew what Zhang Yang had been up to.

Before long, the world will be in chaos.

In reality, the world at this time was already in chaos.

The Ghost Realm Envoys of Cloud Dream Marsh have already restrained Langya Sacred Land, Cloud Firmament Palace, and One-Guard Monastery.

Naturally, this involved the Azure Cloud Sect, Sea-Heaven Pavilion, and Great Snow Mountain.

Cloud Firmament Palace is in a worse situation; they are still trying to find a possible alliance with Langya Sacred Land.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Spirits Sect, Return to Origin Temple, and Sacred Spirit Church Sect remained uninvolved.

At this moment, at Return to Origin Temple, Jiang Tao from the Myriad Spirits Sect and Diao Buer from the Sacred Spirit Church were discussing matters with the other members of Return to Origin Temple.

"The world order has changed, and we must seize this opportunity," Jiang Tao said slowly. "Right now, only the three of us sects remain uninvolved. If we don't seize this opportunity given to us by heaven, we would be making a fool of ourselves."

Diao Buer nodded slightly. "That's what the sect leader means too. We must seize this opportunity to greatly enhance our sect's strength, so that we will have enough power to fight against other sects in the future."

Some time ago, we suffered enormous losses due to the failed attempt to encircle and annihilate the Azure Cloud Sect.

Now, our chance has come.

Jing Xian of Return to Origin Temple asked, "Then who should we attack?"

Jiang Tao raised his hand and conjured a map of the world, his gaze fixed on Heavenly Heart Island overseas. "The Sect Master's intention is... Heavenly Heart Island!"

All eyes were on the isolated Heavenly Heart Island.

This place is too far away from many sects; even if a major battle breaks out, others won't be able to sense it at all.

By the time everyone realized what had happened, Heavenly Heart Island had already been destroyed.

But if Heavenly Heart Island destroyed, no one will stand up for it.

The three sects are currently idle, and they feel this is the best opportunity for them to make their move.

"Great minds think alike!" Jing Xian nodded with a smile. "The key now is whether we can take Heavenly Heart Island with minimal losses."

With the three sects joining forces, taking over Heavenly Heart Island would be no problem at all.

However, if the losses are too great, then it's not worth it.

"The sect leader has analyzed it, and we shouldn't have to spend too much!" Jiang Tao said slowly. "First of all, Heavenly Heart Island hasn't participated in any battles for many years, so their combat strength is not strong."

Although there are powerful individuals among them, their cultivation systems tend to focus on Cultivation Method that involve perceiving the Future and making predictions.

These things are indeed very powerful at certain times.

However, if they were to engage in direct combat, they would be completely at a disadvantage.

Based on our current assessment of Heavenly Heart Island's combat strength, their reserves are estimated to include three to four Transcending Tribulation Realm whose lifespans have run out, and definitely no more than five!

Although Lady Heavenly Heart was at the Mid Tribulation Realm, she was at the bottom of the Mid Tribulation Realm.

Therefore, each of our sects only needs to send two Tribulation Realm, plus some Dao Integration Realm, and taking over Heavenly Heart Island will be no problem at all."

Others agreed with this analysis, believing that Heavenly Heart Island's combat strength was probably only so-so.

Every sect will naturally use its resources, but if they can really take over Heavenly Heart Island, it's absolutely worth it.

"The last issue we need to consider is how to deal with their alliance after we destroy Heavenly Heart Island," Diao Buer continued. "The Azure Cloud Sect's Demon Lord are terrifying; this is something we have to consider."

"The Demon Lord of the Azure Cloud Sect are indeed terrifying, but if Heavenly Heart Island still exists, they would be willing to take action to obtain its benefits. However, if we destroy Heavenly Heart Island, their efforts will be completely in vain. Therefore, the Azure Cloud Sect is more than 90% certain that they will not take action."

Besides, even if we take action, the power of those Immortal Artifacts will boost our strength after we capture Heavenly Heart Island.

In addition, the sect leader is currently attempting to break through to the True Immortal Realm and could succeed at any time.

"By then, we won't need to care about the threat from the Azure Cloud Sect at all," Jiang Tao said decisively.

The three sects are making detailed plans around Heavenly Heart Island.

They wanted to take advantage of the Ghost Realm Envoys's distraction of other sects to make the greatest effort to strengthen their own sect.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang and his group arrived quietly near the former site of the Vast Mountain Sect.

To reach the Ten Thousand Mountains, they had to pass through the area between the Sacred Spirit Church and Return to Origin Temple.

Although it won't pass through the Vast Mountain Sect, it's actually not far from it.

Therefore, Zhang Yang and his group once again arrived near the former site of the Vast Mountain Sect.

Gudoer, Gu Yan, and the other Demon Lord were puzzled, wondering what Zhang Yang and his group were doing here.

The Vast Mountain Sect is destroyed, its foundations are ruined, what's left here?

"Fifth Uncle, it's up to you!" Zhang Yang said furtively to Hualingzi. "Hurry up and open the Ghost Gate, then we'll run!"

Anyway, if this place opens the Ghost Gate, the three major sects will definitely suffer, and they can't be bothered to care.

Hualingzi asked cautiously, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"Ignore all the problems and just start!" Zhang Yang said decisively.

Hualingzi picked up the Dragon-Pointing Brush and concentrated in preparation.

Gudoer and Gu Yan were speechless.

As soon as they saw the way Hualingzi was standing, they knew what the two were up to.

"Be on guard!" Gudoer ordered in a deep voice.

Gu Qiang and the others found it strange; with the five great Demon Lord present, why would they need to be wary of others?

Is there any force in the Immortal Cultivation Realm that can threaten them?

"They're going to open the Ghost Gate!" Gudoer said irritably.

Gu Qiang and the others were startled; had it really opened the Ghost Gate?

At this moment, Hualingzi finished his preparations and fiercely swung his Dragon-Pointing Brush, drawing his pinnacle talisman across the heavens and earth.

A huge ink mark fell between heaven and earth.

"Run!"

The Ghost Talisman is finished, the Ghost Gate are open; if you don't run, when will you?

Gudoer and the other Demon Lord shook their heads repeatedly. What kind of Demon Lord behavior was this, harming others without benefiting themselves?

They ignored everything else and, with Zhang Yang and the others, hurriedly rushed towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After Zhang Yang and the others left, the ink traces of the Ghost Talisman spread throughout the world.

The pitch-black Abyss opened its gaping maw.

A massive crack, forty or fifty feet long and seven or eight feet wide, appeared at the former site of the Vast Mountain Sect.

Yellow mist appeared between heaven and earth.

Squads of Yin Soldiers poured out from the cracks.

Immediately afterwards, several enormous skeletons emerged from the crack.

The aura of death enveloped the land, and the scythes that reaped the dead were pointed at the three major sects.
