Chapter 1803: Enemies On All Sides
Enemies on all sides.
Using that to describe the Ziling Sect's current situation was not an exaggeration. Both Xiang Shaoyun and the Ziling Sect were gathering more and more enemies due to their growth. It didn't take long for everyone to suppress them on all sides.
An old monster from the Guardians Guild was sent over. An old devil was sent over by the devils. And Gan Bazhou from the Celestial Alliance had come yet again. Three groups had arrived, each with a Nine Revolutions Realm expert to pressure the Ziling Sect.
The Ziling Sect had several Nine Revolutions Realm experts, including Ming Shi, so they had enough strength to defend themselves. However, they couldn't allow themselves to be continuously suppressed. They needed someone they could rally around to solve the current crisis.
Originally, Ming Shi was the Ziling Sect's greatest trump card. But after the Imperial Nether Clan discovered that he was a nether yin devil, they managed to suppress him. If it wasn't for the fact that half of Ming Shi's soul was with Xiang Shaoyun, he would have turned traitor long ago. And with Ming Shi being incapable of facing the Imperial Nether Clan, he became essentially nonexistent.
When the Ziling Sect was surrounded by enemies, the Celestial Alliance's master finally made his appearance. He had been patient for many years, but today, he had finally lost his patience. The time was ripe to take the Ziling Sect down, and he wanted to be the one to make the first attack.
The alliance master revealed his steadfast face and eyes, which looked at the world with disdain. "Today, the Celestial Alliance declares war on the Ziling Sect."
He then unleashed a palm attack toward the Ziling Sect. The palm was akin to a dropping star, overbearingly destructive. The alliance master truly wanted the Ziling Sect destroyed. He held nothing back in his attack. He was one of the nine powerhouses, and he was stronger than Huang Tian. In fact, with his Seven Revolutions cultivation, he was among the strongest people in existence.
From the Ziling Sect's side, apart from Ming Shi, they only had He Ma and Mao Jiuming, Five Revolutions and Four Revolutions experts respectively. However, they were still not strong enough to face a Seven Revolutions expert.
As for Yu Caidie, Purple Lightning Marquis, and Lang Ya, they were merely peak ninth-stage Gods. They had no way of facing the alliance master. When those observing in the dark saw that, they all concluded that nobody would be able to stop the alliance master's attack. After all, Ming Shi had been curbed by the Imperial Nether Clan and could no longer make a move.
"Mo Dingtian, you must have wasted all these years of your life. Are you so shameless that you personally came to bully my martial nephew?" a voice rang out, and a crack appeared midair, shifting the entirety of the palm attack.
A handsome individual appeared above the Ziling Sect. He was none other than Wu Xie. Although Wu Xie was Venerable Yuan Shi's son, nobody knew what his actual strength was. He rarely appeared in public, and he had no incredible combat feats to speak of. However, his ability to shift away the alliance master's attack proved that he had a strength no weaker than the alliance master.
"I heard of your appearance at the Guardians Guild's main hall. Looks like the rumors are true. But even if you're Venerable Yuan Shi's son, you still can't stop me today!" said the alliance master as he attacked again.
Heavenly Black Wave!
Black energy turned into terrifying black waves that rushed toward the Ziling Sect from the sky. This attack was several times stronger than the previous palm attack. That was Mo Dingtian's real strength.
"Hmph. You really think I'm useless?" said Wu Xie with a cold snort. He made a grabbing motion with both hands and created an even bigger spatial crack, absorbing all the black waves.
Wu Xie stopped defending. He soared into the sky, moved all ten of his fingers, and unleashed ten finger beams.
Divine Skybreak Finger!
Every beam tore through the sky to instantly reach Mo Dingtian, assaulting his defensive barrier. The black barrier around Mo Dingtian rippled, redirecting all the beams without suffering any damage.
Wu Xie continued unleashing over a thousand finger beams, blasting Mo Dingtian high into the sky. The soft energy around Mo Dingtian continued working as Mo Dingtian waved his palms repeatedly, utilizing the concept of power redirection with great mastery. While defending, Mo Dingtian also unleashed a concentrated counterattack. The two were actually evenly matched, surprising all observers.
After all, Mo Dingtian was a powerhouse. There was no doubting his strength. Thus, it was surprising to see that Wu Xie could match him evenly. One could say that Venerable Yuan Shi's son had not brought shame to his father's name.
Unfortunately, Mo Dingtian had not come alone. Gan Bazhou made his move, making his determination to eliminate the Ziling Sect known. Uncle Yuan wanted to help, but before he could do anything, two aliens charged Gan Bazhou.
He Ma and Mao Jiuming were slightly weaker than Gan Bazhou in terms of cultivation level. However, they had powerful combat strength as aliens. When they worked together, Gan Bazhou wouldn't be able to easily defeat them.
"Hmph. You have devils and aliens here. This Ziling Sect has definitely colluded with the other races and betrayed humanity," said an old monster from the Guardians Guild.
"The Imperial Nether Clan was calling Xiang Shaoyun their nineteenth prince. He is the Nether Monarch's successor. I doubt the devils will joke about this. We should all move and take that kid down as soon as possible to prevent anything untoward from happening," said a different super expert from the Guardians Guild.
"Um. The devils are here as well. Let's attack and see if the devils will help them," said an old monster from the Guardians Guild.
The two flew above the Ziling Sect. One of them shouted, "Xiang Shaoyun, come with us to the Guardians Guild and await your fate. If you refuse to comply, do not blame us for showing no mercy."
Xiang Shaoyun did not appear. Rather, Uncle Yuan was the one to appear before them. He said, "Return. This is a place protected by Young Master Xie. Nobody can create trouble here!"
"Even if we ignore whether Young Master Xie's judgment is right or wrong, from the devils and aliens here, we can see that there is a big issue with this place. If you don't step aside, don't blame us for being rude!" said an old monster.
"Bring it on, then. Let me see how strong you have become. After all, you have been in seclusion all these years," said Uncle Yuan, forsaking their many years of friendship. He attacked.
However, Uncle Yuan was only a Three Revolutions cultivator. How could he face a Four Revolutions and a Two Revolutions cultivator at the same time?
While the Four Revolutions expert was suppressing Uncle Yuan, the Two Revolutions expert joined hands with a One Revolution and a Two Revolutions expert from the Celestial Alliance to attack. As a result, Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing appeared.
One could say that the Ziling Sect's foundations were truly powerful. There were so many experts fighting for them that all the observers were shocked. While they were fighting, the Imperial Nether Clan moved.
