Ten days later.
Thousand Leaves Mountain
The array makes it feel like spring all year around.
A gentle breeze blows, and the air is quite fresh.
Xu Ping had just finished performing the ’Tribulation Spirit Skill’ on the Hundred Bamboo Wood and was taking a brief rest when Gong Yang and Duan Shuang ca together to visit, bringing earth-shattering news.
The Luoyun Sect has annihilated the Shuize Sect!
"Friend Gong, please explain in detail..." Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s expression instantly turned grave.
Although he knew the Luoyun Sect would definitely take action, he didn’t expect them to move so quickly.
After all, the Shuize Sect had a Fourth Rank Sect Protection Array, with defenses said to be impregnable, which truly exceeded his expectations.
"... I just received this confird news."
"Currently, the Luoyun Sect has issued a statent, claiming the Shuize Sect committed the grave sins of colluding with enemy nations and defying the higher sect, hence they’ve launched a crusade against it and have exterminated it."
Now, the Shuize Sect’s leader is dead, the divine turtle guarding the sect has also perished, and not one of the five Golden Core masters under the sect survived."
"The remaining Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators either died in battle or chose to surrender... Only a few disciples are fleeing outside, and have been publicly wanted and rewarded..."
So remnants of shock remained on Gong Yang’s face: "The foundation of the Luoyun Sect is truly profound, able to so decisively and thoroughly uproot the Shuize Sect."
"Indeed!"
Xu Ping couldn’t help but echo with so admiration.
The Luoyun Sect, initially in a dire situation, not only successfully reversed the tide but also wiped out the Shuize Sect thoroughly before the cultivators of the three countries arrived at the Wanzhe Waters.
With this battle, the entire Yue Country is once again fully under the control of the Luoyun Sect.
Judging by this situation, the Luoyun Sect can at least peacefully maintain its rule over Yue Country for another five or six hundred years.
"Besides this affair, the Luoyun Sect also announced an important piece of information..."
Duan Shuang pondered for a mont before speaking slowly, "The Luoyun Sect declared that the evil spirit disaster rampant in the entire Wanzhe Waters was all orchestrated by the Shuize Sect before its downfall; they attempted to drag all the Wanzhe Waters’ cultivators to their grave."
"The Luoyun Sect also stated they exerted all efforts to stop it, yet ultimately to no avail!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping couldn’t help but sneer inwardly: ’These words would only fool a three-year-old.’"
In his view, if the Shuize Sect truly had the ability to divert the evil spirits besieging their sect, they wouldn’t have waited until this desperate situation but would’ve acted long ago.
To be honest, he didn’t have much goodwill towards the Luoyun Sect either.
During the Luoyun Sect’s induced evil spirit disaster, if he weren’t already a Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, with nurous Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans, survival would have been incredibly difficult.
"The Luoyun Sect further claims that in order to prevent the evil spirit disaster from further spreading, they intend to form a ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’, where cultivators of any nation can join."
Duan Shuang continued narrating, "However, the Luoyun Sect won’t let the cultivators exert their efforts in vain.
Every cultivator joining the ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’ can obtain the eligibility to explore the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins."
"Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance?"
Xu Ping slightly raised his eyebrows, contemplating internally, ’The Luoyun Sect indeed plays a good ga.’
Knowing it could never hold the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins alone, it proactively ford the ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’, leveraging cultivators from other countries to exterminate evil spirits.
In this way, it could both keep these foreign cultivators in check to so extent, preventing them from causing too much trouble in Yue Country.
On the other hand, it could utilize their strength to eliminate the evil spirit threat, killing two birds with one stone.
Whether cultivators from other countries would choose to join the ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’ ford by the Luoyun Sect, Xu Ping deed highly probable.
After all, as the saying goes, a dragon is not as oppressive as a local snake, especially when the Luoyun Sect is not just a diocre local snake.
These foreign cultivators traveled thousands of miles primarily for the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins, and currently, evil spirits have beco the greatest obstacle standing in their way.
In order to explore the ruins more swiftly, joining this alliance indeed seems the best choice.
As for how many treasures one might find in the Nine Nether Elder ruins after the evil spirits are purged, it would entirely depend on personal luck and skill.
"In this case, it seems we don’t need to rush to move away from Purple Bamboo Mountain!" Xu Ping’s lips curled slightly, revealing a relaxed smile.
After all, once the ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’ is established, the evil spirit disaster will most likely not affect them.
"Indeed!"
Duan Shuang nodded vigorously, his eyes showing a hint of temptation, "Once the three-countries cultivators arrive in droves, these evil spirits would naturally beco insignificant.
The operation to exterminate evil spirits surely won’t encounter too much danger.
Most importantly, as long as one joins the ’Extermination Evil Spirits Alliance’, one can obtain the eligibility to explore the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins."
"I plan to join, but I wonder what you two fellow cultivators think?" Saying this, Duan Shuang turned his gaze towards Xu Ping and Gong Yang.
"I’m fine on my own." Xu Ping shook his head decisively, directly refusing.
Although he craved the Nine Nether Elder ruins greatly, choosing to risk his life for them didn’t seem necessary.
Hearing this, a hesitating look appeared on Gong Yang’s face.
He bowed his head in deep contemplation, weighing the pros and cons of joining or not joining.
Ultimately, his strong desire for Core Formation prevailed and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Then this old man will join too."
Despite the many dangers in exploring the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins this ti, if he doesn’t fight for it, the hope of Core Formation would likely be slim.
Though Xu Ping did not plan to participate, he generously sponsored both with several Second-stage talismans, asking them to help him find so life-extending items and Quasi-Tier Three or higher Artifact Refining Technique at the Nine Nether Elder’s ruins.
