Somewhere in the forest at the border of the Nine Bright Province.
In the dense forest filled with life, large groups of beasts, insects, and birds were fleeing in all directions in fear.
Between the towering trees, a three-meter-tall circular mirror stood quietly on the muddy ground of the forest.
"The Prime Devil Sect dares to resist," a voice said slowly from the void.
"Then let's activate the Mirror of War. The Thousand Sun Sect has already sent the Red Shirt Army over, "another woman said in a low voice.
"Very well. The Three Sects are becoming more and more brazen. Even when the sect master is heavily injured in secluded cultivation, they still won't restrain themselves. Let's give the Thousand Sun Sect a warning. "
"Mm-hm."
"Hiss …"
A faint gray light began to gather and spread in the mirror.
"Splat." A gray arm slowly reached out of the mirror, followed by a naked gray body.
A tall man with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a three-tailed snake slowly crawled out of the mirror.
The man wore a gray crown on his head. His eyes shone with cunning coldness.
After he came out of the mirror, he quickly moved away. A beautiful black-haired woman with waist-length hair quickly walked out of the mirror behind him.
However, the ends of her hair seemed to extend into the void. They were in a strange state of being translucent and faintly visible.
"I didn't expect to be working with you this time. It's an honor. Divine Lord Tu Lan. "The man with three snake tails smiled charmingly.
"It's been 900 years since we last met after you broke through to the Divine Intellect tier a thousand years ago, right?" Tu Lan also smiled. "Divine Lord Zhao Yu, it seems like you've officially entered the three-tailed tier. Congratulations."
"Didn't you also enter the Void Hair tier, Divine Lord Tu Lan?"
The two of them complimented each other.
"I came here mainly because I found a Star-level spirit in the Great Yin, right? Come to think of it, in the Great Yin's system, the Star-level should correspond to the spirit of the Jade Star to the Divine Intellect tier, right? A Star Soul of this tier from the outside world has high research value. "Tu Lan licked her cherry lips, and said with a burning desire.
"The system is different, but in terms of actual combat, the Star-level is at most equivalent to the Divine Intellect tier. For the extraterrestrials, as long as their spirit can survive in the outer world, they can be considered Star-level, "the three-tailed man, Divine Lord Zhao Yu, said with a smile.
"Alright, since the two of us in charge are here, let's begin."
"Alright."
The two of them slowly took out a small black key from their bosom. Then, they gently put the two keys together. The teeth marks on the keys actually fit perfectly.
Crack.
The matching key made a crisp sound.
In an instant, the countless giant trees in the surroundings began to tremble.
Rumble …
The nearest giant tree slowly pulled out its roots from the ground, and a pair of huge dark green eyes opened on the tree trunk.
"Army Commander Andrado will follow the orders of the two Holy Masters."
"Prepare to depart." Sacred Lord Tu Lan tossed the key into the sky.
Bang!
The key instantly exploded, turning into countless black specks of light.
"Understood …" The Treant nodded slightly.
Soundlessly, an invisible wave spread out in all directions with him as the center.
For a moment, all the plants in the forest within a radius of several thousand miles began to wriggle, pulling out their roots from the ground, and human faces appeared on their trunks, lining up neatly.
In just a short while, this primeval forest that had existed for thousands of years had completely transformed into a terrifying plant army with hundreds of thousands of trees.
"Go. Kill everything you see." Holy Lord Zhao Yu pointed in the direction of Autumn Moon County.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the plant army rose from the ground and charged in the direction of Autumn Moon County.
On the ground where the army was advancing, the silhouette of a huge blue eye slowly appeared. It stared at the army's rapid advance.
…
Prime Devil Sect, Devil Palace.
After hearing Lu Sheng's angry roar, Liu Shanzi quickly rushed to the main hall of the Devil Palace.
He was not the only one. The other dozen or so Weapon Masters also quickly arrived. Many of them had temporarily joined the Prime Devil Sect when the Evil Spirits were wreaking havoc. They did not know what the sect master's rage meant.
Only Elder Stone, Xu Feila, and the other founding elders understood that this was the first time Lu Sheng had ever been so angry.
More than ten founding elders gathered in the main hall. Sect Master Lu Sheng had not arrived yet, but everyone was already worried.
Everyone had seen the huge blue eye that covered the sky. Although their sect master had destroyed it with a single strike, from the sound of the order just now, they could tell that the eye was most likely an expert from the First Sacred Gate of the Three Sacred Gates.
Sect Master Lu Sheng's order to search and kill on sight clearly meant that he wanted the Prime Devil Sect and the First Sacred Gate to fight to the death.
A white-haired Weapon Master elder frowned and said, "Let's not talk about the strength of our target for now. What should we do if the Three Sacred Gates pursue this matter after this?"
"Elder Xu is right. The difference between the Prime Devil Sect and the First Sacred Gate is too big. If we openly fall out with the Three Sacred Gates, even if we have the Thousand Sun Sect as our backing, we still …"
Another Weapon Master also said in a low voice, his tone full of worry.
"The sect master is too unwise. Even if he really wants to give the order to kill, he shouldn't have directly pointed out the identity and force of the other party. The Three Sacred Gates is too famous. Even if his subordinates really followed the order, who would dare to carry it out?"
"Hiding it is even more troublesome. Isn't that a trap?"
"Say, do you think the sect master is testing his subordinates by doing this?"
"Impossible. Let's not talk about the effect first. If he really becomes enemies with the First Sacred Gate, it will be even worse …"
For a moment, everyone had their own guesses and opinions.
Xu Feila and Elder Stone looked down. They did not move, nor did they speak. Everything would have to wait for Sect Master Lu Sheng to appear before they could make a decision.
It was useless for the subordinates to guess what their boss was thinking.
Time passed, and Devil Qi still flowed on the ground. Previously, a large amount of Devil Qi surged out like an ocean and covered an area of several thousand miles.
Everyone guessed that it was some kind of investigative technique the sect master used. Such a large area was most likely released with the help of some great formation in the Devil Palace, and a large amount of Devil Stones had been expended.
However, after discussing for a long time in the main hall, the sect master still did not show up.
Thus, some people began to feel confused.
"The sect master gathered us together, but didn't show up. What's the meaning of this?"
"That's right. We don't know what the sect master is planning with this move."
"He summoned us, but didn't show up himself. That's not polite, isn't it?"
Xu Feila looked at the panicking Weapon Masters in the main hall, then at Liu Shanzi who was standing quietly at the side. He cursed the old fox in his heart.
However, seeing that the situation was getting worse, as the vice sect master on duty who was in charge of affairs recently, he had no choice but to speak up.
"Come to think of it, the sect master didn't give the order to gather us, did he? A kill order is a kill order, but the sect master didn't summon us here at all. "
His words instantly stunned everyone in the main hall.
Indeed, after Lu Sheng gave the kill order, he did not give any further orders, nor did he ask them to gather.
They had only gathered here on their own accord, hoping to understand the sect master's thoughts.
"Actually … I've seen that Zi Hengzi that the sect master mentioned before," Elder Stone said slowly from the side.
"Oh? What are you trying to say, Elder Stone? "someone asked hastily.
Elder Stone smiled, and said slowly, "Zi Hengzi is a member of the First Sacred Gate's investigation team. I'm not sure what they're investigating exactly, but his strength is at least at the level of a high-ranking Weapon Master. To put it bluntly, among everyone here, there are only three who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. "
When he said this, everyone was stunned again.
"Elder Stone, what do you mean by that?" Someone's voice was slightly displeased.
Elder Stone narrowed his eyes, and smiled.
"Nothing. I just want you to understand. The sect master gave the kill order, but didn't summon us here. He still hasn't shown up until now. Do you still not understand the meaning behind this and what it represents? "
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they instantly thought of another possibility. For a time, the main hall fell completely silent.
After a long time …
"Could it be …" Xu Feila's expression changed, and he said in a low voice.
Hiss …
Outside the main hall, it was now quiet. Only then did everyone hear faint noises coming from outside.
"There's movement outside!"
A Divine Weapon Master looked out of the window.
"What's that!?"
Everyone felt something amiss with their spirit, and rushed out of the main hall. Just as they reached the main hall's door, everyone hurriedly stopped in their tracks.
Countless black and green flames had already started burning on the ground of the Devil Palace without anyone noticing.
The empty plaza in front of the main hall had already completely turned into a sea of flames.
"Bam."
A powerful black palm more than two meters thick slowly stepped out from the side of the main hall.
"That's …!!?"
Elder Stone, Xu Feila, and the others who had followed Lu Sheng in the beginning immediately recognized what it was.
It had a huge body, a muscular silhouette, a burning mane, and ferocious, majestic fangs and huge eyes. It stood more than ten meters tall.
"Roar!!!"
The violent lion's roar instantly turned into solid black ripples that spread in all directions.
"Lion of Rage!!"
Many of the Weapon Masters were shaken by the roar and stumbled.
"Weaklings will eventually be burned to ashes." The Lion of Rage swept its gaze across everyone in disdain. The huge palm stomped on the ground, and countless Devil Flames rose into the air and flew into the distance.
"This aura … it's so much more powerful than the Lion of Rage in my memory …" Liu Shanzi's eyes were filled with deep astonishment.
He could feel that if the Lion of Rage really wanted to attack, it only needed that roar just now to easily scatter everyone's spirit.
Compared to his own Lion of Rage, it was more than a hundred times more powerful!
"So … the sect master didn't summon us at all … nor did he give us an order …"
Everyone's expressions were filled with inexplicable disappointment and shock.
They were disappointed that they were not the true pillars of the sect. They were shocked that the sect master had hidden such a powerful force. This was practically inconceivable.
