"Tsk, you’re just being lazy!"

The figure in black glanced at Bai Xiaofan, muttering softly!

Bai Xiaofan showed disdain for the words of the figure in black. If he really wanted to slack off, he would go to the Demon Sea and summon Jinxiang and Lanmo!

With the strength of Jinxiang and the others, combined with their Divine Weapons, dealing with a Modao Zi who just stepped into the Unity Realm would be very easy!

Battle Corpse Sect Main Hall!

Modao Zi sat at the head position, with sect leaders from various heavenly sects seated below!

Wu Tian, the former senior disciple of Battle Corpse Sect, stood in a corner, utterly ignored!

"Gentlemen, I’ve just received news that the Taixu Sect has allied with the Shangqing Palace and the Tianjian Pavilion, planning to launch an all-out attack on us in three days. What are your thoughts?"

Modao Zi’s gaze swept over everyone as he asked calmly!

"If they want an all-out attack, let them come. Over this period, we’ve clashed countless times, and almost every time, we’ve emerged victorious. Their strongest is merely that woman in black, but with Modao Zi here, I’m confident they won’t cause any trouble!"

"Not sure about that. I heard the Taixu Sect’s leader has returned. Have you forgotten the battle at Yao Shen City? I think Bai Xiaofan, knowing Modao Zi has broken through to the Unity Realm, yet still daring to lead a counterattack, means they must be prepared. I suggest we be cautious."

"A year ago, Bai Xiaofan already had the strength to battle the Black Dragon God. In this fight, we indeed have to be extra careful, or we might end up losing to Bai Xiaofan!"

"You’re all too cautious. Even if Bai Xiaofan returns, so what? As long as he’s not yet in the Unity Realm, we have nothing to fear. And why should we wait for them to attack? Can’t we launch a preemptive strike?"

Upon hearing Modao Zi’s words, the main hall of Battle Corpse Sect was filled with discussion, each person presenting their own perspective and rationale!

"I have something to say. I’m not sure if I should."

At that moment, Wu Tian, who hadn’t spoken in a year, stepped out from the corner!

Everyone was slightly stunned to see Wu Tian, who had been ignored for a year, had reached the late-stage Heaven Opening Realm!

"Speak!"

Modao Zi, staring at the unyielding Wu Tian, seemed to already know what he intended to say but nodded nevertheless!

"Everyone here fought alongside Sect Leader Bai against the Fire Demon Clan and Yao Shen City. You should know Sect Leader Bai’s strength and character!"

"Sect Leader Bai never attempts anything without confidence. A year ago, he led us to defeat the Fire Demon Clan, then allied the ancient celestial realm to defeat Yao Shen City, allowing our celestial realm to truly stand tall!"

"Though Sect Leader Bai has been gone for a year, one thing should be clear: if Modao Zi can break through to the Unity Realm, surely Sect Leader Bai, with his talent, has also made progress this past year?"

"If Sect Leader Bai has had a breakthrough, his strength will have soared. He might even be able to single-handedly challenge the Black Dragon God. Even in a one-on-one, Modao Zi might not be a match for him!"

"Therefore, I suggest we choose to coexist peacefully with Sect Leader Bai and stop the internal strife. Internal conflict brings no benefit to our celestial realm, only allowing the ancient celestial realm and the Demonic Beast Continent to profit as bystanders!"

Wu Tian, with one hand behind his back, looked proudly around, each word like pearls dropping onto a jade plate, echoing in everyone’s ears!

"Wu Tian, do you know what you’re saying? You’re a disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect, yet you doubt Modao Zi and instead believe Bai Xiaofan will win? If your master Fang Hao were here, he’d surely reprimand you!"

Just as Wu Tian finished speaking, a strong figure stood up, pointing and loudly reprimanding Wu Tian!

"I merely voiced my opinion. As for what to do, that’s your business. I have other matters, so I’ll take my leave now!"

Wu Tian snorted coldly, glanced at the speaker, then gave a salute to Modao Zi and left without the slightest hesitation!

"Spread the word: everyone is to gather at Battle Corpse Sect and prepare for the battle with Bai Xiaofan in three days!"

After Wu Tian left, Modao Zi instructed everyone in the main hall!

Once everyone proceeded to their tasks, Modao Zi turned and walked into the back hall, taking out a black token, forming a seal with one hand and striking it onto the token!

"What’s the urgent matter? Haven’t I already elevated your cultivation to the Unity Realm?"

A phantom dragon head appeared on the black token, its tone thick with impatience, resembling the Black Dragon God but not quite!

"Magic Dragon Lord, Bai Xiaofan has returned and may have broken through already! I fear I may not be his match!"

Before the dragon head, Modao Zi spoke with utmost respect, completely devoid of his previous arrogant demeanor!

"Are you referring to the Wild Emperor? Didn’t expect he’d return from the Forbidden Land of Divine Weapons so quickly. No matter, carry on with your plans. I’ll instruct the Black Dragon God to send some reinforcements to support you!"

The Magic Dragon’s eyes slightly narrowed, an invisible force encircling Modao Zi, then it spoke calmly!

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going!"

"Your subordinate bids farewell to the Magic Dragon Lord!"

Upon hearing the words, Modao Zi respectfully clasped his hands in salute!

Until the dragon head disappeared from the black token, Modao Zi dared to stand up straight and exhaled deeply!

Each time he met with the Magic Dragon, Modao Zi felt a tremendous pressure that nearly stopped him from breathing!

Had it not been a last resort, he would not have contacted the Magic Dragon!

Three days passed quickly!

On that morning, practitioners from Taixu Sect, Shangqing Palace, Tianjian Pavilion, and several other sects gathered before Taixu Sect’s main hall, with He Dong, Long Yan, Luo Yun, and others among them! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Everyone listen up: target the Battle Corpse Sect. Remember, our goal is not to fight for the celestial realm’s top alliance but to show that we’re not to be trifled with! Anyone who dares think they can oppress us must remember we will retaliate. Now, move out!"

Before the assembled cultivators at the front of the hall, Bai Xiaofan flew in and commanded loudly!
