Probing the Enemy, Assaulting the Defense Line

Another war god, clad in armor, asked in a deep voice, "Haoyang, when do we make our move? We can't just hide here forever, can we? The Tribulation Qi is growing stronger; the sooner we eliminate our rivals, the safer we'll be."

He is the War God Xuanjie, in charge of killing and warfare, and a renowned general in High Antiquity.

"What's the rush?" Haoyang said calmly. "The Luozhen Sect is not a pushover. Li Yunjing has Semi-Immortal Artifact and the backing of ten Ancestral Vein avatars. If we act rashly, even if we win, we'll lose several brothers."

"Moreover, judging from Li Yunjing's own fortune and the fortune of the entire Luozhen Sect, which has transformed into a golden dragon, the Luozhen Sect and Li Yunjing are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface; they must have more trump cards up their sleeves."

"Then what do we do? Just wait it out like this?" The War God Xuanjie, frowned.

"Of course not." Haoyang's eyes narrowed slightly. "Let's probe first, find out the true strength of the Luozhen Sect, see how many trump cards they have, and also check Wangshu's condition."

"Bi Shui, send two low-level subordinate gods to cooperate with the people from the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect to cause trouble on the Luozhen Province, rob some things, kill some people, make a fuss, and force Wangshu to take action."

Primordial Lord Bi Shui nodded. "Alright, I'll send Golden Light and Black Stone over. Although they are Lower God, they excel at concealment and ambush, making them suitable for probing."

"Xuanjie, you stay behind secretly and provide cover. If Wangshu makes a move, carefully assess her strength. Remember, do not linger in battle; once you have ascertained her abilities, retreat."

"Understood." The War God Xuanjie nodded.

Haoyang then looked at an elderly man who had been silent to the side. "Hundred Herbs Old Immortal, how are things on your end? Have you managed to contact a few of the deities from the Rogue Cultivator Faction?"

The Hundred Herbs Old Immortal is a god of medicine, with white hair, and is skilled in alchemy and divination.

He shook his head upon hearing this. "Difficult. Most of the Rogue Cultivator Faction are hiding very deep and unwilling to get involved in the conflicts. They have only managed to contact three Lower God, and they are still hesitant."

"Hesitate?" Haoyang sneered. "Once the robbery hits them, they won't even have a chance to join. Ignore them. We'll deal with these Rogue Cultivator slowly after we've wiped out Wangshu."

He paused, his voice turning colder. "Remember, everyone, there is no room for mercy in the face of the Final God-Slaying Tribulation. The more gods survive, the greater the danger for each of us. If you don't want your souls and bodies to be annihilated, be ruthless."

The gods inside the hall nodded, their expressions solemn.

They all survived the first God-Slaying Tribulation and knew the terror of its Tribulation Power.

This is the final calamity; no one wants to die.

What does it matter to eliminate dissidents in order to survive?

The meeting ended, and the gods dispersed.

Ling Taixuan emerged from the side hall, a smile plastered on his face, "Great God, is everything arranged?"

"Hmm." Haoyang said calmly, "You should also make preparations. Send a team of elite disciples to cooperate with the two divine envoys to the border of Luozhen Province. Remember, make a big commotion, and it would be best to lure out the higher-ups of the Luozhen Sect."

"Rest assured, Great Master!" Ling Taixuan immediately agreed, "I'll have the Second Elder lead a hundred elite disciples; I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

He was overjoyed.

The gods are finally going to make their move against the Luozhen Sect!

Although it's just a test, once it starts, the destruction of the Luozhen Sect is only a matter of time.

"By the way," Haoyang suddenly said, "How much does your Primordial Beginning Dao Sect know about the Luozhen Sect's secrets? For example, Li Yunjing's Semi-Immortal Artifact, and his trump cards."

Ling Taixuan thought for a moment and said, "Li Yunjing's Semi-Immortal Artifact is called Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner. It was modified from the Demonic Mystic Yin Devil Banner and is extremely powerful. It was Patriarch Xuanji was injured by it back then."

Besides this, he also possessed a Immortal Artifact called the Five Aggregates Cauldron, Innate Immortal Artifact born during the ascension of the Dao Realm, specifically designed to suppress evil spirits and demons.

"Immortal Artifact?!"

Haoyang sat up abruptly, his eyes flashing with shock and greed.

Innate Immortal Artifact!

Such things are rare even in the High Antiquity Divine Court.

Li Yunjing, a cultivator from the lower realms, actually possesses Innate Immortal Artifact?

The other deities who hadn't left the hall also showed expressions of emotion.

"Are you sure it's Immortal Artifact?" Haoyang asked in a deep voice.

"Absolutely!" Ling Taixuan said with certainty, "Many people have seen it. That cauldron can suppress the soul, and it can even remove the demonic nature from a demonic Semi-Immortal Artifact. It is undoubtedly Immortal Artifact."

Haoyang took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

Great, that's a pleasant surprise!

Originally, I only wanted to eliminate Wangshu and weaken the Tribulation Power, but I didn't expect to get a Innate Immortal Artifact along the way.

With the Five Aggregates Cauldron, the chances of God-Slaying Tribulation can be increased by at least 30%!

"Good, very good." Haoyang slowly sat down, a confident smile playing on his lips. "It seems we made the right choice coming here."

"Not only must we destroy Wangshu, but we must also seize the Five Aggregates Cauldron and the Immortal Vein."

With Innate Immortal Artifact, Immortal Vein, and the fortune of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, let alone overcoming the God-Slaying Tribulation, it's not impossible for him to regain his divine status or even advance further.

Ling Taixuan quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "Great God, your divine might is overwhelming. Those clowns from the Luozhen Sect are no match for you. Once the Luozhen Sect is destroyed, the Immortal Vein and Immortal Artifact will naturally belong to you."

Haoyang glanced at him and said calmly, "You'll also benefit. The territory and resources of the Luozhen Sect will all belong to your Primordial Beginning Dao Sect. Once you take Luozhen Province, the Sixth Prefecture will be yours."

"Thank you so much, great master!" Ling Taixuan was overjoyed.

This is exactly what he wanted!

With divine backing, everything the Luozhen Sect belongs to them!

Soon, the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect took action.

Second Elder Ma Jingting, along with one hundred elite disciples and two Lower God, Golden Light and Black Stone, quietly left Primordial Beginning Valley and headed towards the Luozhen Province.

After five days of stealthy travel, they arrived at the defensive line at the border between Luozhen Province and the Great Wilderness.

At this time, the defense line was jointly guarded by the seven sects that had previously settled in the Luozhen Sect, totaling more than 300 cultivators, led by three Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.

The defense line was built at a mountain pass, with simple defensive formations, mainly for defense against wild beasts and bandits.

Ma Jingting, hiding in the shadows, observed for half a day, then sneered, "With so few men, you dare call this a defensive line?"

Dressed in a Golden Light robe, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, Jin Guang sneered, "Fewer people is better; it'll be perfect to kill them all and establish our authority."

Black Stone, shrouded in black mist, said in a hoarse voice, "Let's finish this quickly, lest we attract the main force of the Luozhen Sect."

"Do it!"

Ma Jingting gave the order.

One hundred elite Primordial Beginning Dao Sect members attacked simultaneously, unleashing a deluge of Law Technique and Law Artifact upon the defensive line.

Boom!

The makeshift defensive formation shattered instantly.

The cultivators inside the defensive line were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties on the spot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"They're from the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect!"

"..."

The three Nascent Soul Cultivator were both shocked and furious, and immediately organized a counterattack.

But their cultivation levels were too low; they were no match for the elites of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect.

Golden Light chuckled sinisterly and raised his hand, shooting out a beam of Golden Light.

Pfft.

The head of a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator was pierced through, and he died on the spot.

"Is that all you've got?" Golden Light sneered disdainfully.

The remaining men were leaderless and completely routed.

The disciples of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect were like tigers among sheep, slaughtering indiscriminately.

The tents inside the defensive line were set on fire, supplies were looted, and screams of agony filled the air.

Black Stone then lurked in the shadows, secretly releasing black mist Tribulation Qi, polluting the surrounding land and water sources.

In less than half an hour, the Black Stone defense line had completely fallen.

Of the three hundred cultivators, nearly half were killed or wounded, and the rest scattered and fled.

Standing at the pass, Ma Jingting looked at the flames-studded defensive line and laughed heartily, "That's satisfying! The people of the Luozhen Sect are nothing special!"

Golden Light licked his lips. "This is just the beginning. Let's go, let's rob another caravan and make a big commotion."

The group strode away, heading straight for the nearby trade route.
