BANG.

A great battle erupted, and the area descended into utter chaos. The experts from the major sects had long since retreated to a safe distance.

"The Evil Spirit Sect has many masters, but only one Third Realm expert came this time. It won’t be easy for them to resolve this quickly."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves. The battlefield was primarily split into three sections.

One was the fierce fight between Yue Wenfu and the red-haired elder, both unleashing a flurry of techniques.

The other two involved the Sect Leaders of Floating Snow Hall and the War Elephant Sect. These two Sect Leaders were as powerful as Yue Wenfu, both at the Third Realm, the God-Seizing Realm. They were successfully suppressing the other Primordial Spirit Realm experts from the Evil Spirit Sect.

"How could the Evil Spirit Sect have expected to lose so many of their people? If word of this gets back, even Earth Martial Realm experts will be mobilized."

"Damn you! Damn you all! War Elephant Sect and Floating Snow Hall, you deserve ten thousand deaths!"

The red-haired elder glanced over and saw that his sect’s experts were being firmly suppressed by the two Sect Leaders.

They were, after all, leaders of their own sects. On his Evil Spirit Sect’s side, however, he was the only Third Realm master. He was finding it difficult to hold the line alone.

"Friends from the Evil Spirit Sect, this old man shall lend you a hand."

Just then, a long cry echoed as a streak of fiery light shot out. It was another master at the Third Realm, the God-Seizing Realm.

His identity was no stranger to those present, especially those from Qing Province. Almost everyone recognized him.

It was the Sect Leader of the Fire Cloud Sect!

"Good. Very good. This old man will remember this favor. When I report back to the Sect, they will not forget the Fire Cloud Sect," the red-haired elder said, his eyes lighting up.

"My pleasure."

The Fire Cloud Sect Leader laughed heartily, a cold glint in his eyes. His decision to intervene was a calculated one, born from self-interest.

On one hand, his Fire Cloud Sect had already lost several Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm masters because of Meng Daoyi. Meanwhile, their sworn enemy, the Yanyue Sect, seemed blessed by fortune and was only growing stronger.

Especially after Meng Daoyi had recently declared his protection over the Yanyue Sect. That declaration had weighed on the Fire Cloud Sect so heavily they could barely breathe, forcing him to seal the sect’s gates and forbid any disciples from leaving.

At that time, the Fire Cloud Sect had practically become the laughingstock of Qing Province.

But now, the heavens had finally delivered a chance to annihilate the Yanyue Sect. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he possibly miss it?

Furthermore, by doing this, he could curry favor with the Evil Spirit Sect and build a good relationship with them. It was a no-lose situation.

"Yue Wenfu, prepare to die!"

The Fire Cloud Sect Leader’s body moved like a thunderbolt, surging with fiery light as he charged toward Yue Wenfu.

Yue Wenfu was a thorn in his side, a pest he was eager to eliminate.

With two Third Realm experts attacking him simultaneously, the pressure on Yue Wenfu instantly multiplied.

"Just as I thought. The Fire Cloud Sect wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity."

"Should we make a move?"

Elsewhere, the people from the Star Sword Sect were also weighing their options. Like the Fire Cloud Sect, they harbored immense hostility toward the Yanyue Sect.

Meng Daoyi had killed several of their Elders within their own Sect. It was a blood feud that could not be reconciled.

"Of course, we’ll make a move. Not just because of Meng Daoyi, but because this will allow us to forge ties with the Evil Spirit Sect."

In the end, the Grand Elder of the Star Sword Sect made his decision. With a great wave of his sleeve, he brandished a sword and transformed into a streak of sword light, shooting forward.

SHIIING!

He too charged at Yue Wenfu, his attack incomparably fierce.

Suddenly, three God-Seizing Realm masters were attacking him at once. No matter how strong Yue Wenfu was, he was no match for them.

PFFT.

After a few exchanges, Yue Wenfu spat out a mouthful of blood and was violently thrown back.

’This is bad.’

The expressions of the Sect Leaders from the War Elephant Sect and Floating Snow Hall changed. Although they were suppressing the Evil Spirit Sect’s masters, they were also completely tied down and unable to break away.

Once Yue Wenfu was defeated and killed, they would not meet a good end either.

"It looks like Floating Snow Hall and the War Elephant Sect are finished."

"That’s right. They chose the wrong side, and the price is death."

"How could a few Middle Grade Sects possibly stand against the might of the Evil Spirit Sect? It’s like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot, or an egg smashing against a rock."

"I bet that Ning Jiang is probably hiding inside the Profound Celestial Ancient Land, too scared to come out."

The onlookers shook their heads silently.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the Evil Spirit Sect would be the victors. The three Sect Leaders of the Middle Grade Sects were fated to be reduced to ashes by the Evil Spirit Sect’s wrath.

PFFT!

"Sect Leader!"

Meng Nanfeng and the others roared in fury. Yue Wenfu’s situation was growing more and more dire, and he was coughing up blood repeatedly.

"It’s over. From this day forward, the Yanyue Sect will be nothing but history." A cold sneer appeared on Yuwen Chi’s lips.

RUMBLE...

Suddenly, the Light Gate rumbled again.

All eyes turned toward it.

Another group of figures emerged.

The man in the lead had white clothes and white hair. He was handsome with an otherworldly air. His eyes were as deep as whirlpools, causing even some Primordial Spirit Realm experts to feel a secret jolt of fear.

"Huh? The cultivation of those three... It’s the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

"So it’s true! They must have gained control of the Profound Celestial Ancient Hall and obtained the Divine Spirit Flowers inside!"

Many people looked on with envy. The last time the Profound Celestial Ancient Land opened, only Mo Qianyu had managed to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. This time, there were three.

"Brat, you’re the one who killed my Evil Spirit Sect’s people? Die!"

The red-haired elder roared and threw a palm strike at Ning Jiang. The full force of his God-Seizing Realm aura erupted. A strike like this was enough to kill any Divinity Transformation Realm expert.

"Break!"

At the critical moment, Yue Wenfu intercepted the blow, blocking it for Ning Jiang. However, he himself was sent flying back, spitting up more blood.

"Ning Jiang, you all need to leave, now! I’ll hold them off here. As long as you live, the Yanyue Sect will not be destroyed!"

Yue Wenfu said anxiously. Even though Ning Jiang had broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, he didn’t believe he could fight a God-Seizing Realm master.

In his eyes, as long as Ning Jiang was alive, there was still hope for everything.

"Run? None of you are getting away today!"

The red-haired elder sneered endlessly, his attention locked firmly on Ning Jiang. He had to capture Ning Jiang alive, no matter what, and find a way to take control of the Profound Celestial Ancient Hall.

"Hahaha! Even if this old man dies today, I’ll make you all pay the price!"

Yue Wenfu laughed maniacally, his eyes wild. A destructive aura began to emanate from his Primordial Spirit.

"Huh? He’s going to self-destruct his Primordial Spirit!" The expressions of the onlookers changed drastically.

"You old fool, are you insane?"

The Fire Cloud Sect Leader cursed and hastily retreated. The self-destruction of a God-Seizing Realm expert’s Primordial Spirit was powerful enough to threaten their lives.

But just then, a hand rested on Yue Wenfu’s shoulder.

"Sect Leader, leave it to me."

"This..."

Yue Wenfu was about to refuse, but Ning Jiang had already stepped forward, positioning himself in front of everyone.

"Sect Leader, trust the Ninth Elder. Don’t forget that all the changes in our Sect are because of him!" Zi Yunfei said.

Hearing this, Yue Wenfu froze for a moment.

It was true. Ning Jiang had brought too many miracles to the Yanyue Sect.

"Alright."

He nodded in agreement, simultaneously preparing himself. If Ning Jiang was in any danger, he would protect him, even at the cost of his own life.

Facing the many predatory gazes, Ning Jiang slowly spoke. His clear, cold voice shocked everyone present: "Today, I will use your blood to make the world know my name!"
