Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor - Chapter 1268: You Won’t Fight Alone!
"Aha, I told you, whenever Yun Xiao takes action, there's no reason not to win!"
Liu Hanyi spread out the letter and quickly read through it, finally letting out a cry that startled the people around him. When they heard the last two sentences, they were both surprised and delighted.
Moyun City, unlike Lishui City and Gushan City, had always been firmly controlled by the aliens since their rampage began. Many human cultivators didn't even dare to approach Moyun City after hearing about the millions of bodies piled up there.
"How could they win in just a few days?"
Such an outcome was unbelievable not only to Mo Yu but also to Feng Qiyun, who was skeptical. However, in the next moment, Liu Hanyi had already handed over the letter, her face showing a proud expression as if she had been a part of those major events herself.
"Yun Xiao even killed that half-step heavenly spirit Human-faced Blood Wing Flower in Moyun City, how could he not win?"
While passing the letter, Liu Hanyi excitedly shared some details of the battle in Moyun City, as if she had personally carried out those significant deeds.
"Is this really true?"
Feng Qiyun quickly read through the contents of the letter, took a deep breath, and handed it to Mo Yu, murmuring as he processed the massive amount of information.
"Half-step heavenly spirit..."
A look of shock appeared on Mo Yu's face. He and Feng Qiyun had cultivations only at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm, unable to compete against even some ninth-rank advanced alien spirit strong people, let alone a half-step heavenly spirit alien spirit.
The Second Elder of Ling Kong Island had reason to believe that if he faced that half-step heavenly spirit Human-faced Blood Wing Flower, he might not withstand even ten moves.
Yet this formidable half-step heavenly spirit was killed by that young man, and according to the information in the letter, it seemed that it hadn't taken much effort, which was even more shocking.
"Did Senior Brother Yun Xiao mention the next destination?"
Amidst excitement and shock, Ye Ku suddenly spoke up. Once the senior brother of Sky Poison Institute, he was now willing to address Yun Xiao as senior brother, all due to respect for strength.
"Next destination?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hanyi paused, then hurriedly leaned closer to Mo Yu. Earlier, she had been admiring Yun Xiao's other achievements, neglecting this detail.
"Jin Shuang City?"
As Liu Hanyi leaned in, she finally saw the name of the city in the far corner and murmured, causing Feng Qiyun's eyes to suddenly narrow.
"Ye Ku, give me the map of the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield!"
With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Qiyun extended his right hand. At this moment, Ye Ku had already taken the map of the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, the map of the Outer Eastern Domain of Hidden Dragon Continent, from his Waist Storage.
"Here is Taikang City, here is Moyun City, Jin Shuang City... right here!"
As Ye Ku laid out the map and pointed out several cities on it, everyone discovered a subtle fact: Taikang City, Moyun City, and Jin Shuang City were all on a straight line.
"If they follow this line all the way, the final destination will be..."
Feng Qiyun's tone was somewhat solemn, his finger tracing from Jin Shuang City eastwards, finally stopping at a large island suspended in the sea, his fingertip slightly trembling.
"Impermanence Island!"
As Feng Qiyun's finger pointed, everyone instantly understood and exclaimed in unison, though their feelings were diverse.
"If it really is Impermanence Island, then this is too bold, isn't it?"
Mo Yu was not a member of the Meridian Refining Master Association, and his understanding of Yun Xiao was superficial. At this moment, he couldn't comprehend how they would venture into Impermanence Island alone, wasn't this a suicide mission?
In Mo Yu's opinion, the human side, having won several cities and boosted their morale, should consolidate their gains, advance steadily, and gradually reclaim the cities occupied by the aliens, avoiding haste.
If they followed the presumed route, Yun Xiao and his team would be akin to an isolated force. Once they penetrated enemy lines and were surrounded by the alien armies from nearby cities, they could become encircled.
Even Feng Qiyun, beside him, was puzzled. In his impression, Yun Xiao was not a reckless person, so why would he make such a decision?
"If I'm not mistaken, he should already know that the time left for us humans is very limited!"
The person who probably understands Yun Xiao the most is Liu Hanyi, who has had a deep relationship with him since the Hidden Dragon Continent. She took a deep breath and spoke, her gaze shifting to a certain spot deep within the great hall.
Following Liu Hanyi's gaze, everyone in the hall noticed she was looking at the place where Mo Yu had just deployed the Sealing Array. There, a point of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array was located.
"Hanyi, are you saying... Yun Xiao must hurry and disrupt the core of the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array? Otherwise, the humans will face great calamity?"
Feng Qiyun reacted quickly, combining the previously received intelligence with Yun Xiao's insane decision, and immediately understood, with a tremor in his voice.
"You must all know about the Holy-grade Heavenly Spirit that escaped from Xuanyin Hall, right?"
Liu Hanyi nodded, asking without waiting for a response before continuing on her own accord: "The Alien Spirit Strong Persons capable of destroying Impermanence Island are probably that Holy-grade Heavenly Spirit, but according to the intelligence from Xuanyin Hall, it shouldn't have recovered to its peak combat strength."
"Ah, I understand now, this so-called Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array is the method for that Holy-grade Heavenly Spirit to regain its strength!"
Ye Ku, who was beside them, reacted swiftly and exclaimed, having guessed about seventy to eighty percent of the truth of the matter, though the more terrifying consequences were only known to Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang.
Once the Thousand Stars Blood Gathering Array achieves its maximum effect, not only can it restore the Holy-grade Heavenly Spirit to its peak state, but it might also push it further to reach the terrifying level of a Holy Spirit.
In such a scenario, even if all the human cultivators on the Tenglong Continent band together, they would undoubtedly be no match for a single Holy Spirit. At that moment, it would truly be the end for the Tenglong Continent.
"It seems that way!"
Liu Hanyi nodded, eyes filled with a determination, as she strode towards the hall entrance. Her actions caused everyone to contemplate.
"Since you intend to strike straight at the heart of the matter, how can we just sit back and reap the benefits? Rest assured, you won't be fighting alone!"
A soft voice emitted from Liu Hanyi as she reached the hall entrance, making those behind her understand her decision without objection, as it concerned the survival of the entire human race.
Just as Liu Hanyi said, Yun Xiao, with cultivators from three cities, delved deep into the Alien Spirit territories. Even if he possessed heavenly power, no one knew how the Alien Spirits would respond.
If those Alien Spirits truly went mad and sent out a Heavenly Spirit Expert, even Yun Xiao might not be a match. Alternately, if the Alien Spirits used a strategy of sheer numbers, they'd exhaust Yun Xiao to death.
A person's Meridian Qi Cultivation is limited; can Yun Xiao kill ten or a hundred Alien Spirits, let alone thousands or tens of thousands? If Yun Xiao were to die, human morale would instantly collapse.
So today, Liu Hanyi made the decision with Feng Qiyun and Mo Yu, these two peak Earth Concealing Realm experts supporting her, and all human cultivators of Ding'an City opened the East Gate, heading straight towards the heart of the Alien Spirits.
......
Meanwhile, news from the Shenxiao Sect on the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield's Northern Domain reached Earth Desolate City, where wise minds guessed Yun Xiao's intentions, leading them to make the same decision as Ding'an City.
However, when the news reached further north at Luoying City, some disagreed, with Arhat Shikong of Thunder Sound Mountain insisting on defending the city.
Shikong deemed Yun Xiao's action reckless, daring to provoke the Alien Spirits' main camp, equivalent to seeking death. If Luoying City followed suit, it would plunge all city cultivators into despair.
So when Xue Ningxiang proposed rallying the city to support Yun Xiao, Shikong jumped out decisively, trying to stir dissatisfaction among Luoying City's cultivators and even to oust Xue Ningxiang from the position of power holder.
During Luoying City's big victory, Zhao Shengwu of Zhao Family, unwilling to lose power, was severely injured by Ling Wan and fled the city without a trace.
As for Shikong, he remained, keeping a low profile, giving Xue Ningxiang no reason to find trouble, until he stepped forward at this moment.
However, Shikong thought deeply, representing conservative ideas; the decision was too risky. Many were unwilling to take that risk.
But now, Xue Ningxiang wouldn't bother reasoning with Shikong. Despite thinking he had everyone's backing, Lady Xue instructed Ling Wan to act without hesitation.
Being Yun Xiao's elder brother, Ling Wan couldn't stand by idly. Annoyed to see the old monk stirring refusal to leave the city, he unleashed his anger.
The power of Mixed Element Qi was formidable; even though Shikong excelled in physical strength as a Thunder Sound Mountain Arhat, he suffered internal injuries from a single blow. As he climbed back up, a flash of anger and dissatisfaction passed through his eyes, replaced by a shocked dread.
Shikong couldn't predict that this pair would disregard any opposition despite representing some opinions. Didn't they fear public anger?
Shikong forgot: this continent respects strength, especially in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, where strength commands respect.
Which city's power holders didn't achieve their position through sheer strength?
