Arrival and a Ready Agreement
Becoming stronger was her dream.
But she was still a little worried. "But what if he's lying to us? What if the Luo Luozhen Sect isn't actually that powerful?"
True Lord Bishui shook his head and said, "He has no reason to lie to us. With his strength, killing us would be as easy as turning his hand. He doesn't need to make up such a lie."
Furthermore, think about it, would a sect capable of traversing Greater Thousand Dao Realm be weak?
The Fairy Hongling thought for a moment and nodded.
Indeed, being able to traverse the Greater Thousand Dao Realm represents unparalleled strength.
True Lord Bishui patted Fairy Hongling on the shoulder and said, "Wife, don't think too much. The only thing we can do now is follow our senior and do our job well. Perhaps this is an fortuitous opportunity for us."
The Fairy Hongling took a deep breath and said, "Alright, my husband, I'll listen to you."
True Lord Bishui nodded, and the two quickened their pace, heading down the mountain.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the twilight.
The council hall of the Ruins of Return Manor was brightly lit.
Li Yunjing sat upright in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his gaze calmly fixed on the ground below.
On either side of the hall, the Three Kings of the Eastern Domain and the two True Lord, Bi Shui Hongling, stood in rows. Each of them had a trace of fatigue on their face, but more than that, they were excited and expectant.
Three days have passed since Li Yunjing visited Ruins of Return Manor.
For the past three days, the entire Eastern Domain has been plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
The news of the destruction of the Myriad Demon Hall, the submission of the Three Kings of the Eastern Domain, and the surrender of the Ruins of Return Manor spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the Eastern Domain.
Countless cultivators were shocked, and countless forces trembled.
Everyone knows that the world in the Eastern Domain has truly changed.
"My lord, the remaining forces of the Myriad Demon Hall have been completely wiped out." The Golden Wing King stepped forward first and bowed, saying, "Of the original eighteen Spirit Transformation elders of the Myriad Demon Hall, seven resisted stubbornly and have been killed by us. The remaining eleven have all expressed their willingness to submit and have now been incorporated into our Demon Race army."
The Azure Scale King continued, "The thirty-six Spirit Vein, seventy-two mines, and one hundred and eight tribes controlled by the Myriad Demon Hall have all been taken over by us."
We have selected 30,000 Demon Core Stage Demon Beast at the Core Formation stage, several thousand Spirit Communication Demon Beast at the Divine Transformation stage, and 213 Demon Beast at the Spirit Transformation Stage, ready to fight at any time.
Hei Feng added in a deep voice, "Those small tribes that refused to submit have all been defeated and subdued by us. Now, Demon Race in the entire Eastern Domain follow the Lord's lead without question, and no one dares to disobey the Lord's orders anymore."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly, satisfied with the efficiency of the three kings.
The Myriad Demon Hall has been operating in the Eastern Domain for tens of thousands of years, and its power is deeply rooted.
The fact that the three kings were able to complete the integration in just three days shows that they really put their heart into it.
"How are things on the human side?" Li Yunjing turned to True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling.
True Lord Bishui quickly bowed and said, "Reporting to Senior, the power of the Ruins of Return Manor has been fully integrated."
We selected 10,000 disciples at the Golden Core Stage or above, including 87 Nascent Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators.
In addition, other minor human sects in the Eastern Domain also expressed their willingness to submit, and they sent a total of five thousand disciples to assist in the battle.
The Fairy Hongling said, "All the provisions, elixirs, and weapons are ready."
We also built one hundred siege crossbows and fifty battering rams specifically to deal with the Temple's defenses.
Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, it seems you haven't wasted any of the three days."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
A disciple hurried in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Alliance Leader of the Qianyuan Palace, True Lord Qingyun, requests an audience outside the main hall."
Everyone was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
They originally thought that True Lord Qingyun would either choose to resist or hide and dare not show his face, but they did not expect that he would take the initiative to come to their door.
Li Yunjing's lips curled into a faint smile, "Oh? He's here pretty quickly. Let him in."
"Yes."
The disciple withdrew.
A moment later, a figure strode in.
The visitor was none other than True Lord Qingyun.
At this moment, his face wore a complex expression, a mixture of shock, doubt, and a barely perceptible excitement.
True Lord Qingyun walked to the center of the hall, bowed deeply to Li Yunjing, and respectfully said, "Junior Qingyun greets Senior."
Li Yunjing said calmly, "Get up. I thought you would choose to oppose me."
True Lord Qingyun raised his head, looking firmly at Li Yunjing, and said, "This junior did indeed misunderstand you before, senior, but after learning your purpose, this junior is willing to lead all the disciples of the Qianyuan Palace to submit to you and help you overthrow the tyranny of the Holy Domain!"
Everyone was somewhat surprised by these words.
They originally thought that True Lord Qingyun would go through a fierce internal struggle before choosing to submit, but they did not expect him to be so decisive and efficient.
Li Yunjing was also somewhat surprised. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? You know my purpose?"
True Lord Qingyun nodded and said, "Yes, I have inquired about it personally."
A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "The three Dao Lords and their Holy Temples have been tyrannical and oppressive to the people in the Primordial Origin Dao Realm, committing all sorts of evil deeds."
Our Qianyuan Palace suffered greatly. Countless fellow disciples were brutally murdered by the Holy Temple Iron Cavalry because they couldn't pay the toll. Countless talented disciples were forcibly abducted by the Holy Temple's people because they had no background and were used as cultivation vessels.
"I have long wanted to overthrow the rule of the Holy Domain, but I have been too weak to make any rash moves."
Now that our seniors have arrived, they have given us hope.
"As long as it can overthrow the Holy Domain and avenge my fallen brothers, I am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Seeing the excited expression on True Lord Qingyun's face, Li Yunjing understood.
It turns out that he submitted not because he was afraid of death, but because he had a blood feud with the Holy Domain.
Such a person, once won over, will become the most loyal warrior.
"Alright." Li Yunjing nodded and said, "Since you have this intention, then I will accept you. From now on, you will be the deputy commander of the Eastern Domain Human Race Allied Army, assisting True Lord Bishui in leading the human army."
"Senior Xie!" True Lord Qingyun was overjoyed and quickly bowed in thanks.
Li Yunjing stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said firmly, "Now that everyone is here, our plan shall officially begin!"
"The army will depart at noon the day after tomorrow, target: the Eastern Region Holy Temple!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Yes, senior!"
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in the Eastern Region Holy Temple.
The temple is situated atop a high mountain at the border of the Eastern Domain Southern Region, a place of rugged terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The entire temple was built of white jade, and it radiated a holy light under the sunlight.
At the highest point of the temple, there is a viewing platform.
Three men dressed in white robes stood on the viewing platform, looking down at the sea of clouds below.
These three were none other than the three guardians of the Eastern Region Holy Temple: Guanfeng, Tingyun, and Zidian.
All three were at the Early Dao Union realm and were direct disciples of the three Dao Lords.
"I've heard things haven't been peaceful in the Eastern Domain lately," Guanfeng said slowly, sipping a cup of tea. "Those three idiots from the Myriad Demon Hall seem to have been killed."
