Declaration: Luozhen Conquest Alliance
Even more insidious, the rumors fabricated a lot of "evidence," such as that the Luozhen Sect allowed Demon Race to cultivate together with human disciples, that the elders of the Luozhen Sect and the Demon Race leaders were on friendly terms, and that Li Yunjing himself had cultivated Demon Race Cultivation Method and become a half-human, half-demon monster.
"These rumors are utter nonsense!" Nangong Chengyu roared, slamming his fist on the stone railing beside him. "Who is so malicious as to spread such rubbish rumors!"
"The Heavenly Saber Sect," Wang Qianxue said coldly. "My father sent me a message yesterday, saying that the Immortal Alliance has investigated and found that the rumor originated from the Heavenly Saber Sect."
Behind the Heavenly Saber Sect is a sect called the Departing Fire Sect. It seems that the Heavenly Saber Sect was supported by the Departing Fire Sect, and secretly, the Departing Fire Sect itself was fueling its growth.
"The Heavenly Saber Sect? The Departing Fire Sect? The Luozhen Sect has no connection with these two forces, so why would they..." Mo Xuan found it hard to understand.
A cold glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes. "It's all about profit; they're probably coveting the achievements of my Luozhen Sect."
"His Departing Fire Sect is in Celebration Dragon Prefecture, not in my Flying Immortal Prefecture, so what right does he have to reach out and interfere! Isn't he afraid of the Immortal Alliance's punishment?" Shui Yao was also very angry.
Li Yunjing said, "Blinded by greed, the Departing Fire Sect has probably gone mad."
"But the Departing Fire Sect's move is truly insidious," Nangong Chengyu sighed. "First, they spread rumors, portraying us as enemies who betrayed humanity. This way, their attack on us becomes Tianxing, and other sects will support them out of a sense of justice."
"What's more troublesome is that many ordinary cultivators who are unaware of the truth have already believed these rumors," Fang Tong said.
The Demon Race and the human race are inherently irreconcilable enemies.
In the past, the Demon Race and the human race had many conflicts in Tianyuan.
When the two sides are evenly matched, some Demon Race betray their own kind and become traitors, while others betray their own kind and become traitors.
Traitors are deeply despised within the human race, even though the overall strength of the Demon Race is now far inferior to that of the human race.
At this moment, Fang Hexuan frowned slightly and said, "The Departing Fire Sect's goal is not just to ruin our reputation; they definitely have other plans. We must prepare for the worst."
Fang Hexuan's words soon came true.
The next day, news that shocked the entire cultivation Immortal Realm of the five continents spread: Wan Tianshu, the sect leader of the Heavenly Saber Sect, officially issued a proposal to all sects in the five continents to form the Luozhen Conquest Alliance to punish the Luozhen Sect, which had colluded with the Demon Race and betrayed the human race.
The Heavenly Saber Sect is located in the Heavenly Saber Mountain in the eastern part of Celebration Dragon Prefecture, and is a first-class sect in Celebration Dragon Prefecture.
The sect has four Dao Union True Lord and more than thirty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, making it extremely powerful.
Wan Tianshu himself is a powerful cultivator at the Dao Union Middle Stage Integration Realm, and enjoys extremely high prestige in the cultivation Immortal Realm of the five continents.
The news caused an uproar across all five states.
To everyone's surprise, the first to stand up and attack the Luozhen Sect was actually the Heavenly Saber Sect.
Inside the core hall of the Heavenly Saber Sect, the Heavenly Blade Hall.
Wan Tianshu sat in the main seat, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
Below him sat four Dao Union True Lord and more than a dozen Spirit Transformation Elders from the Heavenly Saber Sect.
"The Departing Fire Sect is using us as pawns!" Elder Nan Qingshan said angrily. "They are the ones who covet the resources of the Great Wilderness and want to attack the Luozhen Sect, yet they're making us the scapegoats. If we and the Luozhen Sect fight to the death, the Departing Fire Sect will be the ones who benefit!"
"Of course I know." Wan Tianshu sighed, "But do we have a choice? The True Lord Chiyan of the Departing Fire Sect came to me personally and said that if we were willing to take the lead in forming the Luozhen Conquest Alliance, they would give us three large spirit mines in the western part of the Flame Mountain."
Not only that, he also promised to give us one-third of the Great Wilderness territory after the war. If we refused, they would join forces with other sects to deal with our Heavenly Saber Sect.
Silence fell over the main hall.
Everyone knows how domineering the Departing Fire Sect is.
If the Heavenly Saber Sect refuses the Departing Fire Sect's demands, then the Heavenly Saber Sect may be the next target of attack.
"Moreover..." Wan Tianshu continued, "The development speed of the Luozhen Sect is really too fast. In just over a year, it has developed from a second-rate sect into a hegemon of the Great Wilderness with a territory of tens of thousands of miles."
If we give them a few more years, they might even leave our Heavenly Saber Sect behind.
The Luozhen Sect must have obtained some extraordinary fortuitous opportunity. Let's take advantage of their weakness and destroy them, then we can get a share of the spoils."
"But Sect Master..." Second Elder Wu Liuyun hesitated, "Could it be that the Luozhen Sect is hiding its true strength?"
"Don't worry." Wan Tianshu smiled slightly and said, "The Departing Fire Sect has already agreed to send two Dao Union True Lord and twenty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators to join the Luozhen Conquest Alliance."
Moreover, besides us and the Departing Fire Sect, many other sects are also coveting the resources of the Great Wilderness.
"As long as we raise our voices, many sects will surely respond. At that time, with dozens of Dao Union True Lord and hundreds of Spirit Transformation cultivators gathered, how could we possibly be no match for a mere Luozhen Sect?"
Just as Wan Tianshu had predicted, the initiative of the Luozhen Conquest Alliance was immediately met with a strong response from many sects.
Apart from Flying Immortal Prefecture, the major and minor sects of the other four prefectures all sent envoys to the Heavenly Saber Sect to express their willingness to join the Luozhen Conquest Alliance.
Azure Cloud Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Poison King Valley... these sects, which have a certain reputation in the five continents, all announced their joining the alliance at the first opportunity.
The higher-ups of these sects were perfectly aware of the situation. They knew, of course, that the rumors of the Luozhen Sect colluding with the Demon Race were false, but they also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to divide up the resources of the Great Wilderness.
The Great Wilderness is vast and rich in resources, dozens of times larger than the five major continents. Anyone who can gain a share in this war will greatly increase their sect's strength. As for the fate of the Luozhen Sect, who cares?
However, the sects that joined the Luozhen Conquest Alliance were not top-tier forces; at most, they were only first-rate forces.
Those top-tier and even elite forces remained silent, neither joining the Luozhen Conquest Alliance nor declaring any stance.
In just ten days, seventy-two sects announced their joining the Luozhen Conquest Alliance.
In a short time, the Luozhen Conquest Alliance gained immense power and influence, shaking the entire five continents.
Everyone believed that the Luozhen Sect was doomed this time.
Flying Immortal Prefecture is currently the only prefecture where no sects have joined the Luozhen Conquest Alliance.
In Flying Immortal Prefecture, the Luozhen Sect was renowned.
The sects in Flying Immortal Prefecture know a lot about what the Luozhen Sect is like.
Therefore, no one in Flying Immortal Prefecture believed that Luozhen Sect Demon Race.
Just as the Luozhen Conquest Alliance was at its most powerful, the Immortal Alliance finally spoke up.
On this day, outside the Lingxiao Palace on Immortal Alliance Mountain, Zhang Jianchen waved his hand and pointed to the sky.
In an instant, Golden Light burst forth, and lines of text emerged within Golden Light.
"After in-depth investigation and verification by the Immortal Alliance, it has been found that the Luozhen Sect has never colluded with any evil Demon Race, nor has it ever done anything to betray the human race."
The Luozhen Sect subdued the Alligator Dragon to maintain peace in the Azure Jiao Marsh, and accepted the surrendered Demon Race tribes to guide them to abandon evil and do good.
The claim that the Luozhen Sect colluded with the Demon Race is pure nonsense and a rumor deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives.
The Immortal Alliance hereby solemnly declares its opposition to any sect war launched under false pretenses.
We urge the Luozhen Conquest Alliance to disband immediately and cease all hostile actions against the Luozhen Sect. Otherwise, the Immortal Alliance will impose severe sanctions on the relevant sects in accordance with the Immortal Alliance Convention.
