Chapter 351: 349. The Hundred Sects Alliance That Was Scared Away (1/4)
This also means—everything is truly gone.
A Three-star Major Influence that stood for a thousand years is just gone like that. Of course, in this battle, not many ordinary disciples died, as they evacuated in time, keeping the embers alive. However, the core leadership of the Mitian Sect was almost completely annihilated.
Li Xiao stood on the deck, staring into the direction of the Sect, lost in thought.
Next month, she was supposed to become a Core Disciple and receive personal instruction from the Sect Leader, but everything changed today. Because the Mitian Sect provoked a Sect that should not be provoked, a Starless Sect hiding behind a superpower.
"Sister Li, stop looking, the Sect Leader provoked those who shouldn’t be, Mitian Sect is gone now." Next to her, a young man sighed and then looked at the rippling Bright Mirror Lake, "Sister, let’s head home first."
Although their family was no match for the Mitian Sect, it was at least a safe refuge for them at the moment.
Li Xiao nodded but then shook her head, "But I still can’t accept this fact, why didn’t the Hundred Sects Alliance come to help? And the other Sects, why didn’t they come either?"
What about the promise of unity?
What happened to mutual aid?
"Sister, you, as the foremost disciple of the Mitian Sect, know much about cultivation, but you don’t understand people’s hearts. The Sect Leader offended the Immortal Sect, who would dare step into this mess?" With that, the young man walked away, knowing that talking to Li Xiao was futile. She rarely went outside and didn’t understand the saying, "Who would share adversity if they could solely enjoy fortune?"
The Mitian Sect is gone; just join another Sect.
Where is not a place for cultivation?
Apart from disciples like Li Xiao, who were key focuses of the Sect’s cultivation efforts and had feelings for the Sect, they didn’t have such deep emotions.
Li Xiao looked at Mitian Island, which was getting further and further away, and slowly retracted her gaze, murmuring to herself, "Turns out, apparent strength isn’t genuine strength, and truly strong powers never let us see them."
With that, she walked into the cabin.
Today, she left, along with the surviving disciples.
Actually, in this battle, there was no right or wrong.
Only victory or defeat—she knew!
Just hoping that in future days, she wouldn’t join a power that would offend such a hidden Sect again.
...
Above Bright Mirror Lake.
A grand procession swept across the sky, with a hundred zhang Giant Demon floating past like a dark cloud. The leaders of the forces on those small islands along the way all came out to look up at the sky.
Because those passing through the horizon were almost all above the Divine Profound Middle Realm.
And the only force that could dispatch such a grand procession at once was the Hundred Sects Alliance.
"Is the Hundred Sects Alliance going to suppress a Three-star Major Influence that refused to join the organization?"
"Looks like it. Probably that influence refused to join and cooperate, which angered the Alliance."
"Seems like another Three-star Major Influence is about to disappear. Things really are unpredictable; why provoke the Hundred Sects Alliance? Such a grand procession, enough to sweep any force on Bright Mirror Lake, truly tyrannical."
Many youths and boys who saw this scene were also fantasizing about becoming one of those in the sky.
Many even regarded it as their dream at that moment.
Gazing upon them, the Hundred Sects Alliance’s procession was already quite close to Mitian Island.
On the back of the Giant Demon, three people stood at this time.
Three middle-aged men in brocaded robes.
They were the Guardians of the Hundred Sects Alliance on Bright Mirror Lake, using their Divine Profound Upper Realm strength to hold down the entire East Lake.
The three of them appearing together still happened during a war against the Hundred Sects Alliance 50 years ago.
"Minister Luo, is that Immortal Sect really as mysterious as you say?" one brocaded man spoke.
Luo Boping responded, "Of course, an East Lake force that can force out the Mitian Sect’s Half-Step Mountain Suppression proves it all."
"What a mystery, what kind of powerhouse would be willing to protect a Starless Sect in a Barbaric Land?" Although puzzled, the three didn’t want to pursue the truth either, "Then let’s check out East Lake while we’re at it."
Luo Boping nodded.
Murong Qing and the other were immediately delighted.
Now, whatever they said about East Lake wouldn’t count, having a big figure go there once, everything would return to normal.
At this time, a Golden Eagle suddenly flew over.
The person on the back of the eagle, seeing this grand Giant Demon procession, didn’t dodge but flew directly in front. When they were a few hundred meters away, he spoke loudly, "Lord Chief, something big has happened."
"Why the panic?" Luo Boping scolded coldly.
"The three lords are also here..." However, seeing the three Divine Profound Upper Realm, his face didn’t show joy; he was still as panicked as before. This scene puzzled the three.
"What happened?" one spoke.
"Lords... The Mitian Sect is already gone." He rushed out immediately after seeing this scene, and that scene kept replaying in his mind, causing his heart to tighten involuntarily.
Because that scene was simply too terrifying.
The Half-Step Mountain Suppression showed up too.
Still slaughtered in an instant!
A Half-Step Mountain Suppression, such a strong individual, didn’t even have time to scream.
"How could that be?" Luo Boping froze, "Didn’t you say Half-Step Mountain Suppression appeared?"
"Dead, without even time to scream."
"This..." Luo Boping looked ahead and called to halt the Giant Demon procession. He hesitated, should they still go? If they went and encountered someone from the Immortal Sect, a war was inevitable, and even the Half-Step Mountain Suppression was dead; what could they do?
Going, could be a grim likelihood!
"The three lords?" Luo Boping turned back to look at the three Divine Profound Upper Realm.
All three immediately turned their heads.
Left without a choice, Luo Boping had to turn back, directly beckoning, "Return!"
If it means certain death, then there’s no need to go.
As the Giant Demon turned back, the scout spoke again, "Mitian Island was turned to rubble by a purple orb descending from the sky. Now the people of Mitian Island have all fled. Fortunately, the people of the Immortal Sect didn’t pursue the ship."
"Even Mitian Island is gone?" Luo Boping swallowed, "Is the one behind the Immortal Sect so strong?"
Listening to their conversation, cold sweat ran down Murong Qing and Han Feiyue’s back.
Especially Han Feiyue, suddenly recalling the events on Extreme Realm Mountain back then.
Now he should feel fortunate that Bai Peng didn’t leave Wenzhen behind.
Otherwise, Extreme Realm Mountain would have been wiped clean that day too.
The two exchanged glances and secretly vowed that after returning, they would keep far away from Cangwu City.
As the grand procession of the Giant Demon returned, this scene was taken in by the people on the islands along the way.
"Why are the Hundred Sects Alliance people returning again?"
"Yes, dispatching so many people, why did they suddenly return?"
"Did they conquer a Three-star Influence so quickly?"
"Which influence was it, got to find out, for being conquered so quickly, didn’t have a shred of backbone."
The onlookers discussed, bidding farewell to the giant demon procession of the Hundred Sects Alliance as it went far away.
