In the world of cultivators, news spread like wildfire.
In just a day, all the sects in the Cang Lan Dynasty knew what had happened. They knew that the Battle King Sect had sent out 116 Martial Saints to attack the True Sword Sect, and the True Sword Sect had sent out 14 Martial Saints. In the end, the True Sword Sect hadn't lost a single Martial Saint, while the Battle King Sect had lost all their Martial Saints.
"The Battle King Sect has lost all their Martial Saints … Got it … There's nothing strange about it, it's within our expectations." That was the first reaction many people had when they heard the news. Then, they jumped to their feet and widened their eyes. "Say that again … It's not that the True Sword Sect was annihilated, it's that the Battle King Sect sent out over a hundred Martial Saints that died … What about the True Sword Sect? What about the True Sword Sect? "
"The True Sword Sect didn't lose a single Martial Saint …"
"That's impossible … That's impossible …"
"Is the news true?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
When those who didn't see the battle with their own eyes heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
The Battle King Sect had sent out over a hundred Martial Saints, while the True Sword Sect had only sent out 14 Martial Saints. The difference in numbers was ten times. Neither side had a single high-level Martial Saint, and the strongest was a peak six-star Martial Saint. The Battle King Sect had five Martial Saints, while the True Sword Sect only had one.
It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.
The True Sword Sect had overturned everyone's opinion.
In the main hall of the Ancient Mirror Sect, everyone from the Sect Master to the Elders was present.
"How did the True Sword Sect kill over a hundred Martial Saints from the Battle King Sect?"
"It's hard to believe without seeing it with my own eyes."
"The Sect Master of the True Sword Sect is at the early stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Aeon, but did you know that he was able to kill ninety-eight Martial Saints from the Battle King Sect as soon as he made a move? The lowest was a two-star Martial Saint, and the highest was a four-star Martial Saint. None of them survived."
"That's impossible."
"How can a one-star Martial Saint kill a four-star Martial Saint?"
"I'm not the only one who saw it."
Everyone in the Ancient Mirror Sect fell silent.
It was already hard to believe that a One Star Saint could fight against a Four Star Saint. A One Star Saint killing a Four Star Saint was like a dream. A One Star Saint killing a Four Star Saint instantly …
Many second-rate quasi first-rate and first-rate forces within the Azure Water Imperial Dynasty first didn't believe it when they heard the news. Then, they were shocked and fell silent. The Azure Water Imperial Family also fell silent.
…
A tall figure was sitting on the Sect Leader's throne within the War King Sect's magnificent hall. He was looking down from above. His body unconsciously emitted a frightening aura that caused the air to tremble. Ripples spread out from his body.
Below him stood more than a dozen golden-robed men and women. Among them, the devilish looking man and the iron tower-like brawny man were among them.
Counting from the right, the iron tower-like brawny man stood in second place, the devilish looking man stood in third place, and the person standing in first place was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was neither fat nor skinny, neither tall nor short. His aura was restrained, and his eyes were ordinary. He was the kind of person that would be forgotten if he was placed in a crowd.
However, if one were to look closely at his eyes, they would discover that there was a terrifying light in the depths of his pupils. It was as if there were two divine swords that could pierce through space and cut apart heaven and earth. Once they were released, it would definitely shake the heavens and earth.
"The Eleventh Envoy and the Twelfth Envoy are dead." The person on the throne spoke. His voice was like a great bell, causing the dozen golden-robed envoys below to tremble.
The person on the throne only mentioned the Eleventh Envoy and the Twelfth Envoy. He didn't mention the other Martial Saints that had died because they didn't truly belong to the War King Sect.
"The Seventh Envoy, the Eleventh Envoy and the Twelfth Envoy's deaths are indirectly related to you," said the person on the throne.
"Sect leader, I didn't investigate the True Sword Sect's strength properly, which led to the Eleventh Envoy and the Twelfth Envoy's deaths. I am willing to accept the punishment," said the golden-robed man standing in seventh place. He looked a bit thin and weak. He immediately bowed.
"There's no need for the punishment this time. The True Sword Sect has hidden too deeply. I didn't expect it either. However, you still need to investigate the True Sword Sect's strength," said the person on the throne. "Since my master came into being, you have all been nurtured by him. You have all been nurtured by him. You have all been nurtured for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. However, it wasn't easy to nurture each of you. The Eleventh Envoy and the Twelfth Envoy's deaths are very painful for me. It's also a loss for our sect. Therefore, you must investigate the True Sword Sect's strength before you act."
"Yes, sect leader," said the dozen golden-robed men.
In their hearts, the sect leader was extremely dignified. His words were like an imperial edict.
"Our sect's expansion doesn't need to stop because of the True Sword Sect. Send out invitations to the other third-rate and quasi second-rate forces. Those who don't accept it will be exterminated," said the person on the throne.
"Yes," said the reply in unison. It was even more forceful.
…
The Battle King Sect didn't immediately take revenge on the True Sword Sect, which was within everyone's expectations.
After all, after this battle, the True Sword Sect's strength had become even more mysterious. They couldn't see through it. They didn't know if it was just like that or if they had an even more powerful trump card.
If they didn't know their trump card, they might just take revenge randomly. It might cause even greater losses. Of course, if the Battle King Sect was willing to send out their strongest forces, they might be able to destroy the True Sword Sect. However, they might also be destroyed by the True Sword Sect. That would be a risky move. What the Battle King Sect wanted was a stable and fast development.
However, the Battle King Sect's other action was out of everyone's expectations.
Originally, some people thought that after the True Sword Sect's losses, the Battle King Sect would be quiet for a while. However, they didn't expect that other than not taking revenge immediately, the Battle King Sect would still send invitations to the other third-rate and quasi second-rate forces, asking them to submit.
…
Within the Canglan Dynasty, in the Black Cloud Mountain Range, there was an old and powerful quasi second-rate force — the Black Cloud Sect.
The Black Cloud Sect was created by the Black Cloud Sage a thousand years ago. The Black Cloud Sage was a seven-star Saint expert. Therefore, the Black Cloud Sect was a second-rate force. However, ever since the Black Cloud Sage's death, the Black Cloud Sect had never produced a seven-star Saint expert. The most powerful one was only at the peak of the six-star Saint level. Therefore, the Black Cloud Sect naturally fell from a second-rate force to a quasi second-rate force.
Even so, the Black Cloud Sect still had a foundation that ordinary quasi second-rate forces did not have. There were more than twenty Six Star Martial Saints in the sect, and there were even four Six Star Martial Saints at the peak. Other than the fact that they did not have a Seven Star Martial Saint, the Black Cloud Sect was not inferior to a second-rate force in any other aspect.
Right now, the Black Cloud Sect's sect master and various elders were present in the Black Cloud Palace.
"The Battle King Sect is truly arrogant. They actually dared to extend their hands to our Black Cloud Sect." An elder coldly snorted as he waved the golden invitation in his hand.
"I originally thought that the Battle King Sect would be well-behaved for a period of time after suffering a great loss at the True Sword Sect. Looks like they're treating us as a soft persimmon and want to pinch us," said another elder.
There were dozens of elders in the Black Cloud Sect, and every one of them had extraordinary strength.
Just thinking about it, there were more than twenty six-star Saint experts. Adding the other Saint experts, there were more than a hundred of them. As long as a seven-star Saint expert was born, the Black Cloud Sect would immediately become a powerful second-rate force.
The Battle King's golden invitation also gave the Black Cloud Sect three days to prepare. Three days later, the Battle King Sect would send an envoy to receive the Black Cloud Sect.
This news wasn't concealed, and was directly spread to the outside world. Many people knew about it.
At the same time, the news of the Black Cloud Sect's rejection was also spread. The Black Cloud Sect was very powerful, and they had their own foundation and courage.
Immediately, everyone's gazes shifted from the True Sword Sect to the Black Cloud Sect. The Black Cloud Sect's attention skyrocketed.
The Black Cloud Sect was ranked in the top three of the quasi second-rate forces in the Azure Water Dynasty. They were extremely powerful. If Chu Mu hadn't released those puppets, the True Sword Sect and the Black Cloud Sect would have been two completely different existences.
The Black Cloud Sect's strength was publicly acknowledged, while the Battle King Sect's origins were mysterious. Even after the True Sword Sect's defeat, they didn't immediately take revenge on the True Sword Sect. They didn't stop their actions either. This meant that they were still very powerful.
"Twenty six-star Saints and over a hundred Saint experts. This Black Cloud Sect is indeed very powerful." Chu Mu smiled faintly. "However, the Battle King Sect is definitely stronger than the Black Cloud Sect. This time, I have a premonition that the Black Cloud Sect is finished."
Three days passed very quickly.
A ten-meter-long golden flying ship of the Battle King Sect streaked across the sky at an extremely fast speed towards the Black Cloud Sect. It soon arrived above the Black Cloud Sect.
The flying ship's door opened, and a figure flew out. It was a golden-robed man with long hair. The part of his face that wasn't covered by his long hair looked a little demonic.
There was a hint of laziness in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the flying ship. His figure flashed, and he landed lightly but quickly. He ignored all obstructions and headed straight for the Black Cloud Sect's main hall.
"Who are you? How dare you barge into my Black Cloud Sect's main hall? "An elder immediately scolded.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the third envoy of the Battle King Sect. I'm here to take over the Black Cloud Sect." The demonic golden-robed man smiled faintly. He had an indescribable sense of casualness as he spoke unhurriedly. His appearance made it seem like he didn't place anyone in his eyes.
"I'm the envoy of the Battle King Sect. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, silhouettes appeared in the main hall of the sect. The Black Cloud Sect's Sect Leader and the six star Saint elders were all gathered. Outside, the five star Saint and four star Saint elders formed an encirclement. Vaguely, it seemed to be some kind of battle formation, with the pressure of black clouds pressing down.
"From the looks of it, you've rejected my offer …" The third emissary's expression did not change in the slightest as he lazily said, "What I hate the most is people like you who refuse to cooperate. You'll only submit if some of you die …"
