Storm Cyan Cloud!
Behind this simple declaration lay endless slaughter and bloodshed.
Li Chang’an was sowhat surprised. This battle had co sooner than he expected.
But Nie Yu’s next words surprised him even more.
"It’s not a real attack, just a feint."
"A feint?"
"That’s right!"
Nie Yu began to explain.
In three days, the decisive battle between the Three Great Sects would take place.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect had originally planned to ally with the Red Fla Sect, as they had in the past, and combine their forces to crush the Cyan Cloud Sect completely.
However, crushing the Cyan Cloud Sect was easier said than done.
The Cyan Cloud Sect’s foundation ran deep. If you included Wan Xing, who practiced Tier Three Body Refinent, they had a total of fourteen Golden Core-level combatants.
"If we were to launch a full-scale assault on their Mountain Gate, even if we ultimately won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. I’m afraid few of us would survive to see the end of the battle."
Nie Yu’s tone was grave as he laid out the relative strengths of the two sides.
For this very reason, he planned to change course, ally with the Cyan Cloud Sect, and annihilate the Red Fla Sect.
"As it happens, the Cyan Cloud Sect has the sa intention!"
As he spoke, a Spiritual Light flashed in his hand, revealing a Spirit Contract sent by the Cyan Cloud Sect.
The Spirit Contract detailed how the spoils would be divided between the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect after the Red Fla Sect’s destruction.
It had to be said, the Cyan Cloud Sect’s sincerity was quite substantial.
Although the Cyan Cloud Sect was stronger, they were willing to split all of the Red Fla Sect’s resources evenly.
"In three days, all we have to do is feign an alliance with the Red Fla Sect to attack the Cyan Cloud Sect. We will lure the Red Fla Sect’s people into a Cyan Cloud Sect trap, then cooperate with the Cyan Cloud Sect to encircle and annihilate the Red Fla Sect’s Cultivators..."
Nie Yu slowly explained the plan.
If this plan succeeded, the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could devour the Red Fla Sect whole with minimal losses.
The Red Fla Sect was the weakest of the three sects.
In recent years, another of the Red Fla Sect’s Golden Core Masters had fallen.
Now, the Red Fla Sect was left with only six Golden Core Masters.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect, on the other hand, still had nine Golden Core Cultivators, including Nie Ting.
"What does everyone think?"
Nie Yu looked at the other seven people in the secret chamber.
He had approached Nie Ting last because Nie Ting was his adopted son and would not object to his plan.
Among the remaining seven, one person’s voice carried imnse weight.
That person was the Elder Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, now its Grand Elder, and also the strongest individual in the entire sect.
A Late Stage Golden Core Powerhouse, He Xiangfeng!
At this mont, Nie Yu’s gaze, along with the others’, fell upon He Xiangfeng, who was seated in the deepest part of the room. They all waited quietly for him to speak.
After a mont of silence, He Xiangfeng spoke slowly.
"Daoist Nie, do you still suspect that soone from the Red Fla Sect killed your grandson?"
"I do!"
Nie Yu nodded slightly, not denying it.
His reason for targeting the Red Fla Sect was precisely because of Nie Wushuang’s death.
To this day, there was still no definitive conclusion regarding Nie Wushuang’s death.
No one knew who the real killer was.
But the Red Fla Sect was the most likely culprit.
Back then, in those Ancient Sect Ruins, Nie Wushuang had been hunted by a Golden Core Master from the Red Fla Sect.
It was because Nie Wushuang had killed a descendant of that Red Fla Sect’s Golden Core Master.
The current war between the Three Great Sects had originally stemd from a conflict between just two major sects: the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Red Fla Sect.
"Daoist He, although I have my personal motives, every word I said before is true. If we really launch a full-scale assault on the Cyan Cloud Sect, I fear neither of us will survive this war."
"Very well. We will do as you say."
He Xiangfeng nodded slowly, approving the plan.
With his approval, the others also agreed one by one.
And so, because of Nie Wushuang’s death, the final battle between the Three Great Sects took a different direction.
If Nie Wushuang hadn’t died, perhaps Nie Yu wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to persuade the other Golden Core Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and in the end, the two sects would have still joined forces against the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Li Chang’an was truly surprised. After all, he was the one who had killed Nie Wushuang.
When you thought about it, the final outco of the war between the three sects was inextricably linked to him.
’What will be the outco of this war?’
He wondered to himself.
If the Red Fla Sect were truly destroyed, the entire landscape of the Southern Domain Cultivation Immortality Realm would change dramatically.
Perhaps there would be a period of stability, or perhaps it would lead to even more turmoil.
Thinking of this, Li Chang’an pinched his fingers together and perford a quick calculation, attempting to divine the future.
The Divination he received was still filled with the light of blood, and the bloody color was even deeper now.
’It seems there are still variables in this battle.’
Li Chang’an pondered for a long ti.
He didn’t plan to complicate matters; he would just wait and see how things developed.
...
Ti flew by, and in a flash, three days had passed.
During these three days, the Southern Domain Cultivation Immortality Realm seed the sa as always, with no discernible difference.
Late one night, a flash of golden sword light suddenly tore across the sky. It swept over countless mountains and rivers, and under the shocked gazes of innurable Cultivators, it slamd heavily into the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Sect Protection Array.
BOOM!
The entire Cyan Cloud Sect trembled violently, as if it were about to shatter.
Imdiately after, war drums thundered like heavenly lightning, echoing throughout the Southern Domain Land.
Countless people were jolted from their sleep, their faces filled with panic. They didn’t know what was happening, only that their hearts were pounding in ti with the drums.
Soon, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the entire Southern Domain.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Red Fla Sect had joined forces to attack the Cyan Cloud Sect!
At this mont, high above the Cyan Cloud Sect,
Ten thousand sword shadows descended from the sky like a cascading river of stars—boundless, endless, and overwhelmingly powerful.
Behind the dense layers of sword shadows, the sky turned a fiery red.
Streaks of firelight, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands, rained down from above. It was as if the stars themselves were burning and falling from the sky, each streak imbued with an unstoppable, destructive aura that threatened to annihilate the world!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The world shook violently as a torrent of fire rained down!
"Today, the Cyan Cloud Sect shall be destroyed!"
A towering figure appeared beneath the heavens, stepping on endless Fire Clouds. A fiery red Great Cauldron hovered above his head, and his entire body was wreathed in flas, radiating the terrifying aura of the Late Stage of Golden Core.
