Four cities fall

He could not understand!

Nor could he figure it out!

In the Desolate Domain today, who did not know that Ruthless Su was his future son-in-law?

With a future son-in-law of such fearsome renown, who would oppose his Star Divine Sect?

The Half-Moon Mountain Manor?

The Earth Demon Cave?

The Sword Repository Pavilion?

Did they truly dare?

Did they truly have the nerve?

They knew better than anyone how the Jun Clan had been destroyed. He did not believe the Half-Moon Mountain Manor, the Earth Demon Cave, or the Sword Repository Pavilion had the nerve to act.

Unless!

They had something to rely on...

At this thought, Jiang Xiaotian's deep, unfathomable eyes narrowed. This possibility was not nonexistent. The powerful cultivators of the Desolate Domain might fear his Star Divine Sect and Ruthless Su, but what about those outside the Desolate Domain?

Heavenly Moon Commandery had nine great domains, and the Desolate Domain was merely the weakest of them all!

Beyond the Desolate Domain, there were countless forces and figures more powerful than his Star Divine Sect and Su Fan!

But!

What was their motive?

He could not understand!

He was baffled!

He could not figure it out!

Hearing their sect master's words, Purple Light and the other seven elders said no more, but their faces were filled with deep gravity and bewilderment!

Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Xiaotian looked toward Purple Light, Blood Soul, and the others, just about to speak again.

"S-S-S... Sect Master!"

"B-B-B... bad news!"

Just then, a disciple abruptly burst into the great hall, his expression filled with utter panic and terror, his voice trembling with unease!

"Insolence! Can't you see that the sect master and elders are discussing matters? Barging in so recklessly, without the slightest regard for the rules-what kind of behavior is this?"

Blood Soul's vast presence surged as he shouted angrily. The disciples these days were truly becoming more and more unruly, barging in recklessly without so much as announcing themselves!

"What has happened now?"

At the head seat, Jiang Xiaotian waved a hand at Blood Soul, then looked at the deathly pale disciple and spoke with a deep frown.

He was no stranger to this disciple, who was responsible for watching over the Soul Lamp Hall.

Not long ago, this very disciple had come to report that the soul lamps of Pokong and the others had gone out. Now that he had once again burst into the main hall in such a panicked, reckless state, a bad premonition welled up in Jiang Xiaotian's heart!

"S-S-S... Sect Master! The soul lamps of the city lord and the others overseeing Water Manor Main City h-have... have all gone out too!"

Kneeling on the floor, the disciple looked at Jiang Xiaotian and spoke tremblingly. As though terrified that Jiang Xiaotian would vent his anger on him in a fit of rage, he shook all over without stopping!

His words fell.

Boom!

A terrifying, heaven-shaking presence erupted from Jiang Xiaotian. Vast, dreadful killing intent enveloped the entire hall, like a mighty river flooding all directions, making the disciple kneeling within shiver, his hair standing on end and cold sweat covering his body.

Even Purple Light, Blood Soul, and the other six elders felt a profound sense of danger!

"They are simply courting death! Do they truly think my Star Divine Sect is made of clay? Someone! Pass down my orders! Assemble all disciples at the Spirit Gathering Realm and above!"

Jiang Xiaotian's expression was extremely dark, his voice like thunder booming from the nine heavens, his eyes brimming with endless coldness and killing intent!

"Yes!"

A disciple departed with the order.

"Hmph! First Fire Cloud Main City, and now Water Manor Main City! This is aimed at our Star Divine Sect! This is a declaration of war against our Star Divine Sect!"

Jiang Xiaotian's voice was exceedingly grim!

"How many years has it been since any person or force dared to hold our Star Divine Sect in such contempt?"

"Is it those three sects? Or someone from beyond the domain? Since they want war, then we will fight!"

Blood Soul and Purple Light likewise spoke in low voices, terrifying killing intent radiating from their bodies!

"First Fire Cloud Main City, then Water Manor Main City! This is definitely the work of some force. With the soul lamps of our Star Divine Sect's people in both cities going out one after another, I fear the living beings in those cities have little hope of survival!"

At this moment, an old woman whose entire body exuded an extreme chill looked at Jiang Xiaotian and spoke gravely.

The old woman had barely finished speaking when another Soul Lamp Hall disciple rushed inside, filled with the same panic and trembling as the previous disciple!

"Has another city lord of the ten main cities had their soul lamp go out?"

At the head seat, Jiang Xiaotian's deep, unfathomable eyes were shrouded in gloom, his voice steeped in extreme coldness and darkness!

"Y-Y-Y... yes! Sect Master! Just now, the s-s-s... soul lamps of Golden Mound Main City's city lord and the others all went out together too!"

The Soul Lamp Hall disciple kneeling below spoke shakily, not daring even to raise his head.

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

In an instant, the entire magnificent hall was enveloped in an even more terrifying presence. Waves of dreadful presence that seemed capable of suppressing all heaven and earth erupted from Jiang Xiaotian, Blood Soul, Purple Light, the old woman, and the other five!

At once, space shook violently, and terrifying might spread in all directions. The bewildered disciples who were assembling trembled, suffocated, and fell to their knees beneath those boundlessly terrifying waves of might! It was as though a hundred thousand mountains weighed upon them. Agony! Utter agony!

"First Fire Cloud Main City, then Water Manor Main City, and now Golden Mound Main City. Will Azure Wood Main City and Barbarian Earth Main City be next?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaotian no longer knew how to describe what he felt. Rage! Boundless rage! Coldness! Endless coldness!

Veins bulged across his forehead, endless cold glints flashed in his eyes, killing intent ran rampant, and boundless fury surged as waves of terrifying presence swept into the sky!

Now, he wanted only to kill!

Even tearing out their tendons, pulling out their bones, and sacrificially refining them in the abyss for millions upon millions of years would not be enough to vent his towering rage!

The soul lamps of the city lords overseeing their main cities outside were going out one after another. This was no longer a declaration of war. They were waging war!

What was laughable was that the enemy had already fought their way to their doorstep, yet they did not even know who the enemy was.

"Just which force is responsible? They hold our Star Divine Sect in such contempt, slaughtering our people one city after another?"

"At this rate, once they have wiped out the ten main cities, will our Star Divine Sect be next?"

"Sect Master, give the order! Otherwise, I fear the other main cities will be lost too!"

Blood Soul, Purple Light, the old woman, and the others spoke one after another. By now, the enemy's intentions were clear: they were attacking their Star Divine Sect!

Three cities had fallen in a mere moment. Clearly, the enemy had come prepared, and if they still did not make preparations, the other seven main cities would likely be lost as well!

Just as their words fell, sure enough, another Soul Lamp Hall disciple came trembling to report.

The moment they saw that disciple, Jiang Xiaotian, Elder Purple Light, and the others knew without thinking what he was going to say!

"Speak! Which city is it now?"

Jiang Xiaotian spoke grimly.

"A-A-A... Azure Wood Main City!" Like the other two Soul Lamp Hall disciples, that disciple knelt on the floor and delivered his report tremblingly.

"Sect Master, give the order! If this continues, I fear the other six cities will fall too!"

The old woman spoke anxiously.
