Chapter 576: Plot (1)
The Yuanlingtian cultivation world, which was in constant chaos, was turned upside down by an invitation.
Just three days ago, Jianmen's supreme elder Bai Zhu led a large group of elite disciples to attack Senluo Sect. Countless sects were watching the fun with great joy, and some dark-minded people were secretly waiting to see the two major sects suffer heavy losses, or the Senluo Sect be slaughtered in a sea of blood. As a result, the Senluo Sect did not abide by the ethics of martial arts, and used despicable means to drive away the Jianmen group with a single blast of Chuanshan Powder.
Countless people were waiting excitedly for Jianmen's second attack on Senluo Sect.
Unexpectedly, the Senluo Sect directly sent invitations to the famous sects in Yuanlingtian, inviting them to watch the ceremony in Qianyun City, the core location of Cangling Plain, seven days later.
What ceremony are you watching?
The Changsheng Sect and the Senluo Sect swore an oath of blood alliance and became brother sects in a grand ceremony!
When the news spread, countless members of the Yuanlingtian Sect who were fighting each other to the point of bleeding went crazy.
Cangling Plain is the buffer zone between Jianmen, Senluo Sect, Shengyang Palace, the former Miro Sect, and the current Changsheng Sect. Jianmen is in the west, Senluo Sect is in the north, Shengyang Palace is in the south, and Changsheng Sect is in the east.
The Changsheng Cult conquered the Yinglou, broke through the Shengyang Palace, and occupied the Shengyang Palace's territory. The east and south of the Cangling Plain were affected by the Changsheng Cult's power. Now, if the Senluo Cult forms an alliance with the Changsheng Cult, the north of the Cangling Plain will also fall into the influence of this terrifying alliance.
In the invitation from the Senluo Sect, the ceremony of the alliance between the two families was planned to be held in Qianyun City. The deep meaning behind this is terrifying when one thinks about it carefully!
Does this mean that after the two families form an alliance, they will directly take over Cangling Plain?
Does this mean that after the two families formed an alliance, their power would be right at the gate of Jianmen?
Countless sects simply went crazy.
They even stopped the great battle with their mortal enemies. The heads, elders and other high-ranking officials of each sect, along with their trusted disciples, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to Qianyun City to watch the ceremony on the void teleportation array that the Senluo Sect had just built in Qianyun City.
At the same time, Jianmen was so shocked by the news that he felt dizzy and almost vomited blood.
The Changsheng Sect has a celestial being level leader named Lu Yu in charge, but its only flaw is that its foundation is too shallow and its core experts are not strong enough. Therefore, for hundreds of years, it has not been able to pose a threat to the Jianmen Sect.
Hundreds of years are enough time for Jianmen to make internal adjustments, eliminate the internal factions such as the Li, Luo, Yuan, Zuoqiu and other families that are ready to make moves, and select a group of elites from within the Bai family to support them in growing into half-step celestial beings.
Once the internal integration is completed, Jianmen, or simply Bai's Jianmen, will have enough confidence to deal with all challenges!
However, Bai Zhu only showed off his power at the gate of Senluo Sect. How could he force Senluo Sect to this point? Once Senluo Sect and Changsheng Sect form an alliance, Changsheng Sect's lack of foundation will be immediately made up. This alliance is enough to pose the most direct threat to Jianmen's status.
Go to war with this alliance when there is internal instability?
Bai Zhu had no confidence.
Bai Xuanyue's roar shook the entire Jianmen Patriarch Hall. He roared at the top of his lungs, "Stop this alliance, stop it at all costs. Otherwise, Jianmen will never have peace!"
Bai Xuanyue realized that once this alliance was reached and the vast Cangling Plain was truly annexed by this alliance, it would be equivalent to someone putting a knife to the neck of Jianmen.
Bai Zhu immediately issued an order, forcing the Li family and other families to send out all the masters at the level of supreme elders to follow him to Qianyun City to watch the ceremony. Bai Zhu especially pointed out that the great elders of each family, such as Li Xu, must appear in the viewing team, otherwise, they would be regarded as apostates, and don't blame him for punishing them with thundering means!
Time flies. For a cultivator, seven short days are just a blink of an eye.
Qianyun City, which is not very large and has a total population of less than one million, has been cleared out. These days, the evil spirits that were rampant in Cangling Plain have disappeared in Qianyun City. The entire city has been cleaned up, with lights and decorations everywhere. Outside the city, a huge and magnificent altar made of five-colored pure soil has been built.
Flying boats and warships were suspended in the sky, and teams of imposing monks were sitting cross-legged on the flying boats and warships, ready to launch at any time.
This is the army of the Changsheng Sect.
In the past few years, the Changsheng Sect had cultivated an extremely powerful army of monks through crazy conquests. They were well-equipped, had superior combat power, and had achieved remarkable results. Their notoriety of slaughtering and annexing nearly a hundred sects had attracted the attention of all the monks watching nearby.
Flying pavilions were suspended in an orderly manner on the other side of the altar, with spiritual light lingering between them and auspicious auras connecting them together. This was the method of the Senluo Sect. These flying pavilions were not only portable cave dwellings for traveling, but also the hubs of the formation. Put together, they formed a large formation with amazing combat power.
In terms of attack power, these pavilions are obviously no match for the flying boats and warships of the Changsheng Sect.
However, in terms of defensive capabilities, these flying boats and warships are still far inferior to these pavilions.
Next to the five-colored altar below, large groups of disciples from the Changsheng Sect and the Senluo Sect were walking back and forth, chatting and laughing with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
All around, countless monks who were watching the ceremony looked at these smiling monks from the two religions from afar and felt a toothache.
Those sects that were farther away were not too nervous, but those sects that were too close to the Senluo Sect and the Changsheng Sect had blood stuck in their throats, not knowing when the blood would spurt out.
Being neighbors with them is really stressful.
The Senluo Sect was fine. For so many years, it had been "peaceful", "honest", "low-key" and "forbearing". It was just a group of nerdy monks who studied the knowledge they were interested in in the mountain gate. Because of this, the Senluo Sect had a terrifyingly strong foundation. They practiced hundreds of arts and had incredible attainments in all of them.
The Changsheng Sect, on the other hand, was a crazy sect. They took advantage of the shell of the Miro Sect and soared into the sky. Before anyone could react, they had annexed nearly a hundred sects and became a behemoth unprecedented in the cultivation world.
A huge territory, countless disciples, and the strong foundation of the Senluo Sect...
There were already people whispering among the crowd watching the ceremony, mentioning the word "Jianmen" in their conversations. Many people with discerning eyes had already seen that this alliance was probably aimed at Jianmen. And after the two families formed an alliance, they did have the confidence to challenge Jianmen.
"The cultivation world is about to be in complete chaos." The head of a small sect that was relatively close lamented, "Who should we choose between the two great sects?"
There was silence all around, and everyone was thinking about this problem.
It is difficult to be small between the two.
In the past, Jianmen was the dominant sect, and the top 100 sects each occupied their own territory. Under such circumstances, the small and medium-sized sects could still live a decent life.
But now, the Changsheng Sect has risen strongly, and after the alliance with the Senluo Sect, it is bound to become a situation of confrontation and dispute between the two major forces. Once the two major forces rub against each other, they will definitely draw a line and let the sects in the world make a choice.
Support me, or whom?
The question is, who will these small and medium-sized sects choose?
The traditional powerful Jianmen, or the newly emerging alliance of the two religions?
Choosing the right one may not necessarily bring any benefit.
If you make the wrong choice, your family will be destroyed!
The head of a powerful cultivation family murmured in a low voice: "Is it not okay for us to remain neutral?"
The headmaster of another small sect said in a gloomy voice, "If you want to remain neutral, you're afraid that the two families will attack together and kill you first... Haha , you want to wait for the oriole to come and benefit from it? This is a capital crime!"
The leaders of the small and medium-sized sects looked at each other with tears in their eyes, shook their heads, sighed, and silently made a decision in their hearts.
"Hahahahaha!" A long and loud laugh could be heard from afar, and a blood cloud stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles rolled over and surged towards this side. In the blood cloud, countless Blood God Sons were looming, and the mana fluctuations emitted by many of them made the monks watching the ceremony feel suffocated.
This is the Grand Elder of the Changsheng Sect, Lu Yu.
In the blood cloud, there were many Blood God Sons who were at the half-step Heavenly Man Realm. Under Lu Yu's will, these powerful and terrifying Blood God Sons deliberately activated their magic power and released pressure, which was enough to shock people on the spot.
"Hahahaha!" A large area of clear light floated, covering tens of thousands of miles. Dozens of white cranes were singing softly, leading the way in front. An old man with kind eyes and an immortal look rode a white deer with golden horns, and came flying with dozens of boys and girls holding various ceremonial guards, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.
In an instant, the blood light and the clear light collided above the altar.
The blood is boiling, just like the devil's land.
The clear light is all around, like a fairyland.
Lu Yu, who was burly and had a mighty appearance, had his hair and eyebrows all turned blood red, and his eyes were bloodshot, which spread dozens of feet away. He was wearing a blood-stained robe, and it seemed that there was still blood on it that kept "dripping", just like the devil coming to the world.
And the supreme elder of the Senluo Sect was the one with the best appearance selected by the Senluo Sect. Before going out, he was specially dressed up with skillful hands, making him look like an immortal from the fairyland who came down to the mortal world.
The two people standing together have a sharp contrast, yet there is an inexplicable sense of harmony.
"Elder Gu, please come in!" Lu Yu extended his hand to the elder of the Senluo Sect opposite him.
“I dare not, I dare not, please, Great Elder!” Gu Pingzhi, the supreme elder of the Senluo Sect’s alchemy lineage, hurriedly bowed to Lu Yu.
He was only at the half-step heavenly realm, and besides his excellent appearance, his strength was at the bottom of the half-step heavenly realm. However, Lu Yu was at the heavenly realm, and was a blood-path demon cultivator with top-notch offensive power.
How dare he act so arrogant in front of Lu Yu?
"Then, let's go hand in hand!" Lu Yu laughed loudly and grabbed Gu Pingzhi's hand.
"Good!" Gu Pingzhi laughed out loud, looked around proudly, followed Lu Yu, pressed down the cloud, and floated towards the altar.
Everything has been prepared, and there are special people to handle the many rituals. Lu Yu and Gu Pingzhi only need to follow the instructions of the etiquette officer, act as the face and the puppets, and complete the alliance ceremony on the spot.
In the Changsheng Sect camp, countless monks in armor cheered loudly.
In the Senluo Sect’s formation, countless monks with fluttering sleeves applauded and smiled.
Just as the alliance ceremony was about to be completed, countless sword lights came galloping from afar. Bai Zhu took the lead and rushed to the front. From a distance, he laughed loudly: "The alliance between the two sects is such a grand event, how can my Jianmen be left out?"
