The Bi Xiao Gate was closed for seclusion and cultivation, with no one to be seen on the five mountain peaks inside. Occasionally, some elderly Qi-refining stage disciples would do some chores, sending food and drink to the secluded disciples' locations.

  Before I knew it, four months had passed.

  Five thousand miles northwest of the Azure Sky Gate, a certain inconspicuous desolate mountain.

  Looking around, this is a vast and desolate desert, without any signs of human habitation, only an occasional lonely bird flying across the horizon. Several bare little hills are scattered on the desert like tombs, adding to the bleakness and desolation.

  At this moment, a black dot suddenly appeared on the western horizon, followed by two, three, four... more and more black dots, then like a flock of crows flying over, swiftly flew towards one of the desolate mountains.

  As the black dots flew closer, it turned out to be a huge black giant ship! A huge black giant ship flying in the sky! These black giant ships formed a mighty fleet, with one side surging over from the west, and on the western horizon, there were still countless black dots appearing, this fleet seemed endless.

  Apart from these black giant ships forming a fleet, there were countless people flying with their swords either leading the way in front or guarding on both sides of the giant ships.

  "Wan Dao, my friend, this time our five factions' allied forces are going to seize the territory of those self-proclaimed righteous sect's mixed hairs. You and I will be the vanguard, what do you think?" The speaker was a man flying in the front with his sword, wearing a green robe, with a dense mustache on his lips and a pale complexion.

  "Hmph, that bunch of mixed hairs drove our five sects to this godforsaken place back then, and we've been enduring for hundreds of years. This time, I'll make sure to kill him until his blood flows like a river!" The speaker was a burly man with a full beard and hair standing on end, exuding an aura of murder, with a crimson flying sword at his feet.

  "Haha! Brother Wan's words are exactly what I wanted to hear. Ahead of us should be a small immortal cultivation family. Hmph, these small families are like flies buzzing around our doorstep, and they probably can't wait to reveal our information to those immortal sects!" The man in the green robe said with hatred.

  "Haha, Xue Ba, you've got a killing spree coming on, have you? Well, it's all the same to me. These annoying flies are all going to be eliminated anyway, so I might as well take care of him while I'm at it!" A flash of bloodthirsty intent flickered in the eyes of the burly man with the curly whiskers, and with a sudden movement, his flying sword shot down towards an unremarkable hill on the ground.

  "Heh heh!" Xue Ba saw this and also urged his flying sword to follow him down.

  As the two of them fell to the ground, the black flying boats that followed behind also slowed down and descended towards the ground. However, only a small portion landed, while most of the flying boats remained suspended in mid-air.

  ……

  Wu Lianqing, the master of the Wu family, was currently discussing matters with several elders in the family council hall.

  "Report! Something terrible has happened...... Master, something terrible has happened!" A young disciple rushed in, flustered and anxious.

  "What's the hurry!" Wu Lianqing's face sank: "What's the matter, speak slowly!"

  "Outside... many demon cultivators have arrived outside and have already heavily surrounded our Wu family!"

  "What!" Wu Lianqing slammed his hand on the table, suddenly standing up and then slowly sitting back down. "It's finally here! Luckily I've already transferred all the core disciples of our family to a safe place!" The panic on Wu Lianqing's face flashed by in an instant, replaced by calmness.

  "Gather all family members and prepare for battle!" Wu Lianqing shouted loudly.

  "Yes!" The young disciple was infected by Wu Lianqing's emotions and became much calmer, responding with a "yes" before going to pass on Wu Lianqing's orders.

  Wu Lianqing appears to be the head of a cultivation family, "Wu Family", in a barren land, but he also has another identity, that is, the elder of the Xuanxuan Sect!

  The continent of Qianyuan is divided into five parts, with Xiazhou in the center, Youzhou to the north, Chuzhou to the south, Shangzhou to the east, and Liangzhou to the west.

  Bixiao Gate is located in the northwest of Chuzhou, adjacent to Liangzhou. In addition to Bixiao Gate, Chuzhou also has Zixuan Gate, Qifeng Sect, Qinghua Mountain, Xuanyang Sect, Baiyun Temple and Qingfeng Valley. There are a total of seven Xianmen schools.

  It sounds like the seven Xianmen schools are very powerful, but in fact, the largest is the Zixuan School, with over 10,000 disciples. The Qifeng School is also comparable to it, and the Bishu School has nearly 3,000 disciples. Qinghua Mountain and Bishu School are about the same, while the other three schools have around a thousand disciples each, which is relatively small.

  And among them, Qingfeng Valley is almost at the junction of Chu State and Liangzhou, followed by Bixiao Gate.

  The land of Liangzhou is mostly vast and desolate, but as you head further west, it becomes a vast oasis. This is the domain of Buddhist practitioners, and the Mahayana Temple, one of the largest Buddhist sects, is located here. The temple has tens of thousands of monks, and in the Qianyuan Continent's Xiuzhen realm, it is also one of the top-ranked major sects.

  While Chu State and Liang State border to Mahayana Temple this among the vast desolate wilderness, is the site of the demon cultivators.

  Hundreds of years ago, the demon cultivators occupied half of Chu State. In order to compete for the territory of Chu State, the immortal sect and these demon sects had several major wars.

  The territory of the Xiūmó sect continued to shrink, and they were eventually driven out of Chǔzhōu. They ended up in Liángzhōu, a barren land, where the Xiūmó practitioners went into hiding for several hundred years.

  The demon cultivators have been hiding and enduring for hundreds of years, always wanting to expand and leave the desolate place of Liangzhou. If they want to go west, there is the Mahayana Temple sitting in the way, which is a major Buddhist sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if all the demon cultivators in Liangzhou are added together, they do not have the strength of the Mahayana Temple.

  Fortunately, the monks in Mahayana Temple were only focused on their Buddhist practice and did not have great desires for worldly things. Otherwise, if they had to come out to exorcise demons and protect the Tao, I'm afraid the demon cultivators wouldn't even be able to stay in Liangzhou.

  Going west is not feasible, only Chu State remains. The Xianmen Sect's strength is the weakest, so this time the demon cultivators plan to invade Chu State.

  The Xiu Xian Men faction in Chu State has also been paying attention to the movements of these Xiu Mo practitioners. In the buffer zone between Liangzhou and Chuzhou, there are many Xiu Xian families scattered about. On the surface, these families appear to be independent hidden world Xiu Xian families, but in reality, they are all branches of the Xiu Xian Men faction.

  Wu Lianqing is an elder of the Purple Mystic Sect and also the head of the Wu family. Every move of the demon cultivators will be reported to the Purple Mystic Sect by Wu Lianqing.

  The demon cultivator is going to invade Chu State, and the Wu family was the first to know the news. Naturally, the core disciples of the Wu family have already been transferred, but Wu Lianqing still brought some disciples to guard this place, in order to get more intelligence on the movements of the demon cultivators.

  "Listen up, you little rascals inside! I'll count to three. If you don't come out and surrender, I'll break through your crappy formation and wipe out your entire family!"

  Suddenly, an extremely loud voice came from above.

  Wu Lianqing's face changed, and he said to the family elders beside him: "Let's go out and take a look!"

  At this moment, on the top of the mountain, two people were standing in mid-air. They were the burly man with the surname Wan and the green-robed man known as Xue Ba.

  On the surface, weeds and wild grasses grew in profusion, with rocks scattered all over the desolate mountain. But beneath it were rows of buildings and houses, enveloped by a transparent, foam-like energy shield that seemed to encase them completely. The desolate mountain was merely an illusion created by the Great Sect-Protecting Array.

  Wu Lianqing stood in the formation, looking at the two people standing outside the formation with a frown. He understood in his heart that today was probably really going to be a disaster. If it were just one Golden Dan cultivator, he could still cope. But if two Golden Dan cultivators joined forces, he only had the option of fleeing. As for the other young masters in the family, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to escape.

  "One... two... three! Haha, you bunch of mixed-breed turtles hiding inside and refusing to come out? I'll break in!"

  In the sky, Wan's mighty flying sword treasure was infused with his spiritual energy, and in an instant, it expanded to three zhang in length. The flying sword, accompanied by a several-zhang-long sword glow, slashed down towards the Protective Array of the Sect.

  "Boom!"

  Everyone in the formation felt that the ground had shaken slightly, and the houses began to shake. Some low-level disciples stood unsteadily and fell to both sides.

  The canopy of energy formed by the array of mountains above his head twisted violently, as if cracks had appeared, but slowly recovered.

  Wu Lianqing saw this scene and felt slightly relieved. The Wu family's protective array was still the gift of the Purple Mystic Gate, enough to withstand a full-force blow from a Golden Elixir cultivator. It wouldn't be easy for this big man to break through the array. Just then,

  "Boom!"

  Another shockwave hit, this one much more intense than before. The protective shield formed by the mountain's great array was on the verge of collapse.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

  One after another, the Great Mountain Array finally couldn't hold on, like a bubble being poked and shattering into countless pieces before dispersing.

  That desolate mountain disappeared without a trace, replaced by a complex of buildings similar to a mountain villa. The Wu family members were also exposed under the eyes of the Demon Repair Army.

  "Haha, there are only so few people, not enough to satisfy my craving for killing! Xue Ba, why don't I hand this place over to you and go play with that old man?" The Wan surname man said to the Xue Ba beside him.

  Xue Ba chuckled and said slowly, "There's only one Golden Dan stage cultivator. The rest are just insignificant ants. I'm too lazy to take action myself, let the younger generation handle it. I'll give you a sweep of the array."

  Below, Wu Lianqing looked up at the sky with a face full of anger, seeing Xue Ba and Wan surname's big Han talking and laughing as if nothing was wrong, treating his family like dirt. But he also knew this was reality, the other side had two Golden Dan stage cultivators, while his side only had one.

  Moreover, behind them was a vast army of demon cultivators.

  Behind Wu Lianqing, the low-level cultivators' faces showed fear, some of their legs even began to tremble. Wu Lianqing only furrowed his brow, but in his heart he sighed, fearing that these disciples' lives would end in an instant.

  "Wu family juniors! The demonic cultivators want to destroy my Wu family, will the sons of my Wu family let them succeed? Follow me and kill!" Wu Lianqing raised his arm and shouted, then mounted his sword and charged towards the army of demon cultivators behind Wan Xing and Xue Ba.

  "Kill!"

  The Wu family's cultivators also charged forward with their own weapons!

  In an instant, Wu Lianqing beheaded dozens of demon cultivators.

  The complexion of the great Han changed, and suddenly his body moved, using one sword to block Wu Lianqing's slash towards a demon cultivator in the foundation building period: "Old mixed hair, your opponent is me!"

  Wu Lianqing's face changed, he knew that the two Jindan period cultivators were here today, and this battle was bound to be lost, so he thought of rushing up to kill a few more demon cultivator disciples at the beginning, but unexpectedly, this person came so quickly.

  Wu Lianqing turned around and prepared to bypass Wan Xing's big Han, continuing to hunt down those low-level demonic cultivators.

  "Whoosh!"

  Another figure appeared in front of Wu Lianqing: "Old mixed hair, you'd better play a few more hands with Wan brother!" It was Xue Ba who blocked Wu Lianqing's way.

  "Kill!"

  At this time, the army of demon cultivators also moved towards Wu's family members to kill them. On the huge black warship, demon cultivators continuously jumped out, shouting loudly as they joined the slaughter.

  Yes! This is totally massacre!

  The Wu family's children were completely defeated with just a slight resistance.

  Wu Lianqing stood in the sky, his heart as sharp as a knife. Although these were not the core disciples of the Wu family, they were all his clansmen!

  "Ah!"

  Wu Lianqing suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a loud roar, his eyes blazing red as if they were about to spit out flames.

  "All of you will be buried with my clansmen!"

  Wu Lianqing gritted his teeth and said, a knife-shaped magic treasure appeared in his hand, transformed into a giant knife several feet long, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, slashing towards Wan Xing Dahans body.

  The surname Wan's face changed, "This old mixed hair, as soon as he makes a move, it's so desperate!" He hastily dodged and hid dozens of feet away.

  Unexpectedly, Wu Lianqing slashed out with this knife, but did not continue to pursue, instead taking advantage of the moment when Wan Xing Da Han dodged, the imperial envoy's treasure flew quickly and escaped!

  "Evil Daoist, one day I will chop you into ten thousand pieces..." A mournful and venomous voice came from afar, belonging to Wu Lianqing.
