Three Days, Bearing Down in Force

Li Yunjing raised his hand, and a warm spiritual energy flowed into her body.

Gu Xuan felt a warm current flow through her entire body, and her damaged meridians and soul quickly recovered to most of their original state.

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

Li Yunjing withdrew his hand. "What did Wangshu say about Haoyang?"

Gu Xuan said, "Master said that Haoyang is extremely ambitious and is determined to eliminate dissidents this time. She suggested that the sect leader make preparations in advance, and if necessary, ask the avatars of the ten Ancestral Vein to take action."

"The Ten Ancestral Vein..." Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

"And another thing," Gu Xuan added, "Master said that Haoyang might possess a treasure left over from High Antiquity divine war, so we must be wary. She will make a move at a crucial moment, but her divine body is currently weak, and she can only launch one attack."

"One strike is enough," Li Yunjing said calmly.

He stood up and walked outside the hall.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother."

Mo Xuan hurriedly returned, his expression complex. "The Immortal Alliance has replied."

How so?

"The Alliance Leader said that it is against the rules for gods to interfere in mortal affairs. He will issue a warning to the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and the Heavenly Hao Alliance in the name of the Immortal Alliance, ordering them to withdraw their troops. At the same time, the Immortal Alliance will send reinforcements, led by the Third Elder Wang Heng, consisting of three hundred elite soldiers."

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "Elder Wang Heng?"

"Yes." Mo Xuan nodded. "Elder Wang Heng is my master's wife's father. When he heard we were in trouble, he volunteered to lead the team over."

Li Yunjing paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Understood. Since the Immortal Alliance is so kind, we will accept this favor. Once the reinforcements arrive, please make sure they are properly settled."

"Clear."

The Immortal Alliance's willingness to intervene, while not providing strong support, is still a gesture of goodwill.

This at least shows that the Luozhen Sect is not fighting alone.

"Furthermore," Mo Xuan added, "The sects that have settled here, including Departing Maple Sect, have all replied, saying they are willing to obey the state government's orders and fight together against the enemy. They are already organizing their forces and are ready to join the battle at any time."

" From the Biyuan Tribe's side, Chief Zhi Qianshu also sent a message saying that all the tribe's warriors have assembled, their Totem Battle Markings are ready to be used at any time, and they are willing to advance and retreat together with the Luozhen Sect."

Li Yunjing's lips curled up slightly.

good.

This is what he wanted to see.

It wasn't just the Luozhen Sect that was bearing the burden; it was the entire Luozhen Province, united as one.

"Pass down the order: three days from now, prepare for battle."

The three-day agreement quickly spread throughout the Five Provinces.

The news that the Heavenly Hao Alliance was going to war with the Luozhen Sect spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the world.

The entire Dao Realm was in an uproar.

"Gods at war? My God! This is the first time since High Antiquity, isn't it?"

"What is the Heavenly Hao Alliance? A group of High Antiquity gods? Has the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect latched onto a powerful force?"

"The Luozhen Sect is in danger! A group of gods have joined forces, and there's also the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect. Can the Luozhen Sect withstand this?"

"It's hard to say. The Luozhen Sect possesses Semi-Immortal Artifact and ten Ancestral Vein. It's still uncertain who will win or lose."

"Take a gamble? I bet the Heavenly Hao Alliance will win. Gods are gods after all; no matter how strong mortals are, they can't defeat gods."

"I bet on the Luozhen Sect! Sect Leader Li has never lost!"

"..."

There was much discussion in various places, with some favoring the Luozhen Sect and others believing that the gods would surely prevail.

Many other forces, however, are taking a wait-and-see approach.

They wanted to see how this battle between gods and mortals would end.

If the Luozhen Sect wins, the myth of the gods will be shattered, and the future landscape will be very different.

If the Heavenly Hao Alliance wins, the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect will surely rise to power, and the Dao Realm will change drastically.

Many forces are secretly preparing to side with whichever side wins.

Central Province, Immortal Alliance Headquarters.

Zhang Jianchen stood atop the mountain, gazing in the Luozhen Province, his brows furrowed.

"Alliance Leader, are you really only sending Elder Su with three hundred men?" the elder behind him asked. "If the Luo Luozhen Sect is defeated, the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, backed by a deity, might target the Immortal Alliance next."

"It won't be that fast," Zhang Jianchen said slowly. "Haoyang's target is the Moon God. First, he'll destroy the Luozhen Sect, then deal with the Rogue Cultivator and gods, and only then will it be our turn."

"But we can't just sit idly by and watch the Luozhen Sect be destroyed. Elder Li is a talented man; if the Luozhen Sect survives, it can restrain the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and the Heavenly Hao Alliance."

"The people Wang Heng brought are good enough. It's not time to go all out yet. Our Immortal Alliance has more important things to do."

It's not too late for the Immortal Alliance to provide support once the Luozhen Sect is truly unable to hold on.

Besides, do you really think the Luozhen Sect will be defeated? Since its rise, what hasn't the Luozhen Sect done that has surprised everyone?

The elder suddenly realized, "That's true, I was too impatient and didn't think of that."

The alliance leader, however, showed no sign of pride. Instead, he sighed, "The Heavenly Hao Alliance... these gods are truly a scourge to the Dao Realm. Every time they appear, they bring nothing good!"

The God-Slaying Tribulation descends, and gods emerge one after another.

The world is likely to become increasingly chaotic.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fourth day, at the Luozhen Province, at a narrow pass.

As dawn broke, a powerful aura emanated from the depths of the distant Great Wilderness.

The dense, dark crowd surged in like a tidal wave.

Leading the group were disciples and elders of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, numbering about two thousand, arrayed in neat formation, exuding a murderous aura.

In the air, more than twenty divine lights shone brightly, each with different attributes, their power as imposing as a mountain.

Heavenly Lord Haoyang, dressed in a golden-red divine robe, stood at the forefront, his body surrounded by Solar Golden Flame, as if the sun itself were shining brightly overhead.

Behind him, the Primordial Lord Bi Shui, the War God Xuanjie, the Hundred Herbs Old Immortal, and other gods lined up on both sides, exuding a fierce aura.

Ling Taixuan stood beside Haoyang, looking at the Luozhen Sect's defensive line ahead, his face full of a confident smile.

Luozhen Sect, today is your end!

On the defensive line, Li Yunjing, dressed in a blue robe, stood atop the city wall.

Behind him, the elders, disciples, and elite warriors of the Luozhen Sect stood in formation, ready to fight.

The warriors of the Biyuan Tribe, their bodies gleaming with golden Totem Battle Markings, were filled with high fighting spirit.

The incarnations of the ten Ancestral Vein are hidden within the formation, their auras concealed.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

A major battle is about to break out.

"Li Yunjing, come out and answer!"

Heavenly Lord Haoyang's voice was like thunder, rolling in and causing rubble to fall from the city wall.

Li Yunjing stepped forward and stood at the very front of the city wall, his robes fluttering in the wind, his expression calm.

"Great God Haoyang, you have come from afar, what brings you here?"

"I won't offer any guidance. Three days have passed. What have you decided? Hand over the Moon God Wangshu, offer the Five Aggregates Cauldron, disband the Luozhen Sect, and submit to the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, and I may spare your lives." Haoyang looked down at him arrogantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect burst into laughter.

"Li Yunjing, surrender now!"

"The master is giving you a way out, don't be ungrateful!"

"To resist stubbornly will only lead to certain death!"

"..."

Shouts and clamor rose and fell.

On the city wall, the members of the Luozhen Sect glared angrily.

Li Yunjing smiled.

He shook his head, his tone flat. "Haoyang, you've been hiding for tens of thousands of years, just crawled out of your shell, and you're already so arrogant? You still expect me to spare your life?"

"With just these few remnants of your army, you dare to say you've razed Luozhen Province?"

"How dare you!" the War God Xuanjie roared, "How dare a junior be so disrespectful to Brother Haoyang!"

Li Yunjing's eyes turned cold. "So what if you're rude? You colluded with the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and violated my borders. Today, we'll settle this score."

"Settle accounts? You think you can?" Haoyang scoffed. "Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences."

He suddenly waved his hand. "Xuanjie, capture him!"

"Yes, sir!"
