The Sword Pavilion's encampment in the new city was only a small courtyard, but there were many Star Realm experts gathered here.
Most of these Star Realm experts were from the Sword Pavilion, and some were from the Sea Pavilion, Star Pavilion, and Thunder Pavilion. Everyone gathered here to congratulate Sword One for reaching the peak of Star Realm.
The cultivators of the World of Immortals all knew that reaching the peak of Star Realm was equivalent to reaching the peak of the World of Immortals.
In the past, there were many peak Star Realm experts in the World of Immortals, but now, they could be counted on one hand.
Sword cultivators were originally more tyrannical than ordinary cultivators. Now that Sword One had become a Peak Star Extremity Sword Cultivator, her strength was naturally even greater. If Big Sister Gu, who had previously reached the Peak Star Extremity Sword Cultivator, were to fight with Sword One, then Big Sister Gu would most likely lose without any suspense.
After the celebration, most of the guests left. Only a few of the leaders of the four top forces stayed behind. They went to a secret room and sat around a long stone table.
First, they discussed the early arrival of the Heavenly Star Beast Tide, then talked about the Evil Spirit Demon Lord breaking out of his seal. Then, they talked about the appearance of the Haotian Ruins. As they talked, they talked about the Sang Clan's destruction and the Thunder Pavilion's experts being killed …
Naturally, the Xiao Clan was mentioned.
"The current Xiao Clan can be said to be like the sun in the sky in this new city!"
"Destroying the Sang Clan and easily killing a late stage Star Realm expert, the Sang Clan's Patriarch is so bold!"
"The Xiao Clan doesn't put us four top forces in their eyes at all."
"I just received news that Great Sage Sun went to the Ancient Star Road again. The Xiao Clan doesn't have any backing now."
"The Xiao Clan's strength is growing too fast. How many years has it been? They already have more than a hundred Star Realm experts. I'm afraid that it won't be long before we can no longer be called a top force. At that time, the only top force in the World of Immortals will be the Xiao Clan."
"Now that Brother Sword One has reached the peak of Star Realm, if we four top forces join forces, we can easily destroy the Xiao Clan."
"If we don't act decisively, we'll be in trouble. We can't raise a tiger and invite calamity!"
The big shots of the four top forces discussed for a long time before leaving one after another.
After sending off the leaders of the other three top forces, Sword One gathered his Junior Brothers together. Apart from Sword Four, who was already dead, there were a total of eight disciples of the Sword Ancestor, from Sword One to Sword Nine. They all sat together.
"In the past, I didn't dare to come to a conclusion. Now, it seems that the fourth brother was definitely killed by the Xiao Clan," Jian San said.
"The Xiao Clan's Patriarch, Xiao Lingyu, was extremely arrogant when he was in the Lower Plane. He almost unified the Divine World's Tongtian Saint Island. His ambition is not small. Moreover, his enmity with me is deep. I'm afraid he won't coexist peacefully with our Sword Pavilion," Jian Jiuyan said.
"The last time we joined forces with the Star Pavilion to attack the Xiao Clan, although we were stopped by that woman with the surname Gu, the conflict between us and the Xiao Clan has already been made public. Both sides are well aware that there will be a battle sooner or later!" Sword Five said.
"Now that the other three clans intend to join forces to wipe out the Xiao Clan, we can take advantage of the situation," said the Seventh Swordsman.
Jian Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "According to Master's decree, after I reach the peak of the Star Realm, I will also go to the Ancient Star Road. Now that I have reached the peak of the Star Realm, it can be said that our Sword Pavilion has the advantage. Naturally, before going to the Ancient Star Road, I will remove any worries for the Sword Pavilion. "
Although they were schemed against by the four top forces, the Xiao Clan was still very calm.
Xiao Lingyu could predict that after Jian Yi reached the peak of the Star Realm, the Sword Pavilion and even the four top forces would make a move against the rising Xiao Clan, because the Xiao Clan had already threatened their position.
Now that Big Sister Gu was not here, Great Sage Sun and the Howling Celestial Dog had also left, the Xiao Clan did not have to rely on others at all. They could only rely on themselves for everything.
Just as Hong Jun Ancestor said, if Xiao Lingyu did not make a trip to the Haotian Ruins as soon as possible after reaching the Star Realm, his whole family would be in danger. Because even if Beastmaster and Evil Spirit Demon Lord did not come to deal with the Xiao Clan, Jian Yi, who had reached the peak of the Star Realm, would not let the Xiao Clan go.
Even if the four top forces joined hands, even if Jian Yi was at the peak of the Star Realm, the current Xiao Clan did not have to be too afraid.
Xiao Lingyu did not run away, and the entire Xiao Clan did not even have the slightest bit of tension.
The four top forces had used close to three thousand years to prepare properly. They had gathered close to four hundred Extreme Star Realm warriors in the new city. Adding on Sword One, who was at the peak of Extreme Star Realm, they felt that they could wipe out the Xiao family in one fell swoop.
What they didn't know was that in these three thousand years, the fifty Xiao Guards who had just joined the Xiao Clan and obtained the Extreme Star Realm Heavenly Star Beasts' Life Pearls had also successfully advanced to the Extreme Star Realm. Now, the Xiao Clan had more than two hundred Extreme Star Realm experts.
However, with the four top forces joining hands, it could be said that they had sent out all of their elites. Not to mention Jian Yi at the peak of the Star Realm, they had twenty Late Star Realm experts, and nearly a hundred Mid Star Realm experts. With such a lineup, even a powerhouse like Great Sage Sun would frown.
The four top forces also guessed that there might be a teleportation array in the Xiao Clan's courtyard. Therefore, before they took action, they activated the new city's great defensive array, and deliberately changed the power of the defensive array so that it had the ability to restrict teleportation or teleportation, completely trapping the Xiao Clan's people in the new city.
The sudden activation of the new city's great defensive array made the cultivators in the new city very surprised. They thought that the new city was going to be attacked from the outside, but the city guards ran to inform them that the City Lord's mansion was adjusting the defensive array, and not to defend against the enemy.
On the third night after the great defensive array was activated, the powerhouses of the four top forces, under Jian Yi's lead, surrounded the Xiao Clan's courtyard.
In addition to the nearly four hundred Star Realm experts, the four top forces also sent out tens of thousands of Nirvana Realm elites and a large number of city guards. They were slightly weaker, but they were not in charge of attacking. They only formed a battle formation and stood guard outside.
The four top forces had been planning for a long time. From the moment they started to surround the Xiao Clan's courtyard, they only used a hundred breaths of time. They could be considered to have moved like the wind.
What surprised them was that the Xiao Clan's courtyard was still very calm.
Since they had already come this far, there was no need to hesitate anymore.
Jian Yi took out his longsword and spread out his arms. Using the longsword to gather astral power, he used his divine sense to move the stars. After a loud shout, his longsword carried a vast amount of astral power and sword force, and fiercely slashed towards the Xiao Clan's courtyard.
However, just as the longsword slashed down, the Xiao Clan's courtyard was completely covered by clouds in an instant.
The astral power and sword force seemed to fall with incomparable ferocity, but it only caused a few roars of wind and thunder to ring out in the rolling clouds.
Immediately after, a beam of light that was formed from over 200 strands of star energy shot out from the depths of the Xiao Clan's courtyard like a laser beam. In an instant, it pierced through a large gap in the encirclement around the Xiao Clan's courtyard, and wherever the laser beam passed, the Nirvana Stage cultivators and city guard experts of the four top forces on the periphery were instantly killed.
From this, it could be seen that while the four top forces were secretly planning, the Xiao Clan was also actively preparing.
For such a large-scale operation, it was within everyone's expectations that there would be losses during the process. Therefore, the four top forces were not worried. Their Star Realm experts then attacked together, bombarding the Xiao Clan's formation from all directions.
However, just as they attacked, Ling 'er, who had been hiding outside, suddenly revealed himself and opened his Netherworld Heavenly Eye towards a group of Star Realm experts.
Ling 'er, who had already reached the late stage of Star Realm, had an extremely powerful devouring power of his Netherworld Heavenly Eye. In an instant, more than twenty Star Realm experts were swallowed into the Netherworld Domain.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Ling 'er had already concealed himself again.
The other party's attacks also fell into the Xiao Clan's formation, causing the clouds to roll even more violently. The entire new city also trembled slightly.
When the cultivators of the new city heard such a large commotion, they were all extremely shocked. They all rushed towards the Xiao Clan's courtyard and watched from afar.
A large number of city guards had already sealed off a large area around the Xiao Clan's courtyard. When cultivators from the city approached, they announced that the Xiao Clan had committed all kinds of crimes and that the four top forces were working together to eliminate them.
Thus, everyone knew that the four top forces were besieging the Xiao Clan. In everyone's opinion, under the joint attack of the four top forces, no matter how powerful the Xiao Clan was, it would be difficult for them to escape destruction.
From the large commotion coming from the Xiao Clan's courtyard, it could be seen that the battle there should be very intense. The experts from both sides were definitely engaged in a bitter battle.
In reality, this was not the case. The Xiao Clan's experts were all hiding within the formation. Only one Xiao Clan's expert came out, but he was always hiding.
However, every time that Xiao Clan's expert appeared, the four top forces would lose at least ten Star Realm experts.
Even if the four top forces actively reacted and shifted the focus of their attacks towards Ling 'er, they would not be able to hit Ling' er at all. Even if they hit Ling 'er, Ling' er would be able to forcefully withstand their attacks and send a large number of Star Realm experts into the Nether Realm.
With so many Star Realm experts cooperating with Jian Yi, the Xiao Clan's formation would not be able to hold on for too long. However, under Ling 'er's abnormal devouring power, the four top forces' Star Realm experts would only be able to hold on for a short time.
The Xiao Clan had only sent out one expert, and it was already enough to make the four top forces unable to continue their operation.
This made the big shots of the four top forces feel awkward. If they continued to attack, their losses would definitely be greater, and they might not be able to achieve any results. However, if they retreated now, wouldn't they become the laughingstock of the entire new city and even the entire World of Immortals? How would the four top forces establish themselves in the World of Immortals in the future? How would they still have the face to call themselves top forces?
When Ling 'er appeared for the fifth time, the four top forces had already lost close to a hundred Star Realm experts.
Just as the four top forces were hesitating, a stone slab emitting a frightening fiery light flew out from the clouds of the Xiao Clan's courtyard and continued to expand.
When the stone slab expanded to a height of three thousand zhang, it fell from the sky and fiercely slapped towards Jian Yi's location.
