The Sun was setting, shedding down faint red light.
In mid-air, two figures sped past. They were as fast as lightning, and their speed was shockingly fast.
One of them was wearing a robe as white as snow and had a handsome face. It was Ling Xian.
The other, needless to say, was without a doubt, the Dark Ruler.
A few days ago, Ling Xian received a message from Gao Xin saying that the Sea of Demons was acting up and wanted him to return immediately.
From a certain point of view, this was a signal. A signal that the Sea of Demons wanted to attack the Pavilion of Three Lives.
Therefore, Ling Xian had to return immediately. If the Crown Prince's rebellion didn't happen, he would've returned to the Pavilion of Three Lives by now.
Now that the Crown Prince's rebellion was over, he naturally had to return to the Pavilion of Three Lives.
Originally, he planned on using the transportation array to get back to the Luo Yang Region. But because Nan Ping Wang helped the Crown Prince, most of the buildings were damaged. The transportation array was one of them.
It was also completely damaged and not something humans could fix. They had to be rebuilt.
This made Ling Xian feel helpless. What could he do? He had to fly.
Luckily, he had extreme speed and the Dark Ruler was a sixth level powerhouse. Even if he flew to the Luo Yang Region, it wouldn't take long.
Therefore, he and the Dark Ruler flew at full speed towards the Pavilion of Three Lives.
On the way, Ling Xian received three more messages.
The first was that the Sea of Demons had sent out their troops and that the Ruler of Deep Sea was at the peak of the sixth level!
The second was that Xiang Ninedust and the three High Elders had joined forces and were able to stop the Ruler of Deep Sea for now. However, they weren't able to gain the upper hand.
What could they do? The Ruler of Deep Sea was far too powerful and had broken through to the peak of the sixth level. This level of cultivation was enough to rule over an entire region!
Therefore, Xiang Ninedust had to team up with the three High Elders in order to fight against him.
The third was that the Pavilion of Three Lives was losing and had reached a critical point.
Though Xiang Ninedust and the others were able to stop the Ruler of Deep Sea, there were far too many sea monsters. They were practically endless.
In this way, the situation was naturally not optimistic, and it seemed to have arrived at an extremely critical state.
Each of these three messages was more urgent than the last, making Ling Xian more and more anxious.
He didn't think the battle would erupt so quickly. He also didn't think the Ruler of Deep Sea would have broken through to the peak of the sixth level.
"Looks like he has performed another ritual."
Ling Xian sighed deeply. He knew that other than worshipping, the Ruler of the Deep Abyss had no other way to break through to the peak of the sixth level.
"What sacrifice?" The Master of Darkness didn't understand.
"It's nothing."
Ling Xian shook his head and said in a low voice, "Tell me, if you give it your all, can you stop a powerhouse of the sixth level?"
"I can't."
The Master of Darkness shook his head and said, "My cultivation is only at the intermediate stage of the sixth realm. Even with the curse, I won't be able to fight against a pinnacle expert."
"Then, does that mean nobody can stop the Master of the Deep Abyss?" Ling Xian's heart dropped. This was troublesome.
In a large-scale battle like this, the true deciding factor was the battle prowess at the very peak. If one couldn't kill the Lord of the Abyss, then it would be very difficult for them to achieve victory.
The only good news was that while he might not be a match for it in a one-on-one fight, if the Dark Lord joined forces with Xiang Ninedust and the others, they might be able to kill it.
"No matter what, as members of the Hidden Pavilion, it is our duty to protect the Three Lives Pavilion. We must hurry back as soon as possible."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Then, his gaze turned resolute.
"Leader, do not worry. I will do my best to protect the Pavilion of the Three Lives." The Master of Darkness's expression was serious and his tone was powerful.
"Very well, then let us join forces and defend the Pavilion of the Three Lives!"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. Using the token of the Leader of the Hidden Pavilion, he sent out a message to all the members of the Hidden Pavilion. There were only five words.
Come to the Pavilion of the Three Lives!
After sending out the message, Ling Xian shot across the sky like a shooting star. His eyes were unprecedentedly determined!
…
The Pavilion of the Three Lives was one of the most powerful forces in the Luo Yang Region. Compared to the leader of the region, the Luo Clan, it did not pale in comparison.
Since many years ago, it has been a giant force that looked down on the entire Luo Yang Region. Nobody dared to provoke it.
Even the leader of the region had to treat it with caution.
But before their eyes, the Pavilion of the Three Lives was facing a crisis like never before. Or in other words, this giant force was about to be destroyed.
It couldn't be helped. The overall strength of the Abyssal Demon Sea was too powerful. Putting aside the Emperor who could rule over a region, the countless Sea Monsters alone were enough to give any top force a headache.
The Pavilion of the Three Lives was also famous for its lack of people. Though every single one of its disciples was extraordinary and could be considered elites, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.
Therefore, the Pavilion of the Three Lives was losing ground. Even the most powerful pavilion, the Pavilion of War, found it hard to gain the upper hand.
If the Pavilion of the Three Lives didn't have a deep foundation and an extremely powerful protective array, it would've fallen a long time ago.
What was worth mentioning was that the God Slaying Array that Ling Xian once created had achieved impressive results in this battle. Not only did it kill tens of thousands of sea monsters, but it also killed a sixth level powerhouse.
If the leader of the Deep Abyss didn't pay a great price to break this array, the God Slaying Array would've for sure achieved glory!
However, despite their deep foundation, the Pavilion of the Three Lives was not able to hold on much longer.
No matter how deep their foundation was, they couldn't defend against so many enemies. What the Sea of Demons lacked the least was cannon fodder. Within a few short days, the Pavilion of the Three Lives' foundation was almost depleted.
This made Xiang Jiuchen both angry and powerless.
The leader of the Deep Abyss was far too powerful. He had to team up with the other three elders in order to fight back.
Rather than saying that they were tying down the leader of the Deep Abyss, it would be more accurate to say that the leader of the Deep Abyss was tying them down. Because once all of the Pavilion's disciples died, even if they won, what would be the point?
Thus, Xiang Jiuchen went berserk. The other three elders did the same.
Boom, boom, boom!
One explosion after another shook the world. Xiang Jiuchen descended like a god of war, and with every wave of his hand, he shattered the heavens and the earth!
The three elders were extremely powerful as well. Every time they attacked, the space around them crumbled and the world changed color.
Now that he was working together with Xiang Ninedust, his aura was so powerful that it seemed as if it could swallow mountains and rivers!
However, as powerful as they were, the leader of the Deep Abyss was even more powerful.
His blood-red robes fluttered in the wind, and he looked like a peerless demon king. His murderous aura filled the world!
In the face of the combined attacks of four experts, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he calmly dealt with them, displaying his undefeatable demeanor.
This forced Xiang Jiuchen and the others into a difficult battle. Though they wouldn't die, they wouldn't be defeated either. To kill the leader of the Deep Abyss, however, was a pipe dream.
"Dammit, it looks like those forces aren't going to help us."
Xiang Jiuchen gritted his teeth. A few days ago, he sent out a distress signal to those forces, but not a single one of them came.
"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
First Elder sighed. "The few of us have been tied down by the leader of the Deep Abyss. Our only hope is on Ling Xian."
Hearing this, Xiang Jiuchen's spirits rose. His eyes brightened.
Though it was a bit unreliable to put their hopes on a fifth level cultivator, they had no other choice but to place their hopes on Ling Xian.
They hoped that he could lead the members of the Hidden Pavilion and turn the tide!
