Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 393 - 389 Demonic Flames

"It's finally here."

Alkaid was not surprised by this news at all.

He had even been expecting it.

He glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Casualty War Hall...

"It must be because Qi Sha has broken through to the Void Refinement Realm that they have made their final decision. Qi Sha has just broken through and has not yet stabilized his realm. Once he stabilizes it, with the power of the Great Path of Destruction combined with the Annihilation Sword, he will be a formidable force in the Void Refinement, adding an element of uncertainty."

Alkaid understood this clearly.

"Of course, the news from the Heavenly Dao Sect also plays a part. With the Sect Leader absent and now four Supreme Elders of the Shattered Void Realm having to go beyond the stars to aid Zong Wenxian, the strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect is at its most vulnerable. For the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, this opportunity is truly once in a thousand years."

While pondering, he immediately responded through the Jade Talisman, "Can you find out how many people from the Yin Moon Sect have come?"

"It's hard to tell. My Surveillance Station only detected a dense Demonic Qi moving at high speed across Mist State towards the Southern Region. The Demonic Qi was massive; there must have been many of them, but they acted very stealthily, seemingly using a Dao Artifact to conceal their traces. In a fleeting moment, it was hard to determine the exact number."

Mo Ye quickly replied.

"Using a Dao Artifact to conceal their traces..."

Alkaid understood that these Demon Cultivators from the Yin Moon Sect also feared alarming their prey prematurely.

If they exposed themselves too early, whether Alkaid decided to ask the Heavenly Dao Sect for help first or simply abandon the Southern Region and flee back to the Heavenly Dao Sect, it would lead to their failure.

In this situation, they would naturally act covertly.

Being discovered by Mo Ye...

"No! A meticulously planned Shattered Void wouldn't have been discovered by Mo Ye! Moreover... If the Eight Desolations Demon Lord had really decided to attack the Southern Region because of Qi Sha breaking through to the Void Refinement, then they must have made moves even before he completed his breakthrough. In other words..."

Alkaid suddenly looked up.

Outside the Territory Lord's Mansion, another presence emerged.

Although this presence was concealed by a Formation, it still slightly dissipated, allowing a clear sight of a deep blue Stellar silhouette covering the sky.

This is...

Someone broke through to the Deep Blue Golden Core Realm!

Or rather...

Was this the agreed upon attack signal between the Jing Family and the Eight Desolations Demon Lord!?

"That means, Mo Ye's exposure was actually a tactical ploy to lure out the snake, just like when True Monarch of Chi Sha appeared years ago, drawing me into action... If they can lure me away from the Southern Capital, for the Yin Moon Demon Cultivators, or rather for the Yin Moon Sect experts led by the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, it would be even more foolproof, for even though the Jing Family promised to engage the capital's Dragon-Slaying Formation, they still have unrest, unwilling to place their hopes on others."

Alkaid instantly understood this point.

In an instant, he swiftly communicated the information to everyone: "The Yin Moon Demon Cultivators' revenge is upon us! By my command, activate the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation! Fully concentrate on dealing with the great enemy's invasion!"

Even the recently breakthrough Qi Sha was startled.

"Monitor Wu Changfeng for me. If he makes any rash moves, I don't expect you to kill him, just keep him fully engaged!"

He instantly conveyed this Divine Sense to Qi Sha.

"Yes."

Qi Sha responded crisply and icily.

Despite Wu Changfeng having been diligent over the years, there ultimately wasn't enough trust between them. Qi Sha wasn't surprised at all by Alkaid's command.

Upon receiving the order, Chi Yu, Ling Ruogu, Li Hanqiu, Wan Liugui, and others each set out, going to their respective places.

Some led elite troops rushing through the clouds, others went to various places to maintain order, ensuring the Southern Capital did not fall into chaos.

The Capital Dragon Slaying Formation was even now brilliantly circulating light, ready to activate.

However, just as the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation was about to be fully activated, one of its positions appeared to malfunction...

And the one who sabotaged this position turned out to be a Hollow Void War Immortal from the Jing Family overseeing big and small affairs in the Southern Capital.

"How dare you!"

Alkaid, who was constantly monitoring these changes, immediately let out a stern shout.

However, his reaction was quick, but another person reacted even quicker.

Wu Changfeng.

This Void Refinement was also always monitoring every flaw in the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation. When he noticed someone tampering, he immediately appeared and aimed to capture the Hollow Void War Immortal.

However, it seemed that the Hollow Void War Immortal could no longer control the Chaos Void within his body. Facing Wu Changfeng's attack, he immediately chose to self-destruct the Chaos Void, releasing all the power contained within.

In an instant, a terrifying energy spread and released from the center of the Hollow Void War Immortal.

He seemed intent on using this method to further destroy the core of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, thereby delaying the activation of the Formation.

"This is bad!"

The self-explosion of a Hollow Void War Immortal, even someone at the level of Void Refinement like Wu Changfeng, would be severely damaged if he tried to withstand it directly.

But at this moment, he did not shrink back at all.

If he shrank back, not only would this key part of the Formation be greatly damaged, but the surrounding area for thousands of miles would likely be flattened by the self-explosion of the Hollow Void.

To prevent this tragedy, the Void Refinement quickly unfolded his Cave Heaven and similarly transformed it into a Chaos Void, engulfing the self-explosion of the Hollow Void War Immortal.

However, as he unfolded his Cave Heaven, trying to withstand the force of the Hollow Void War Immortal's self-explosion, another force of Cave Heaven followed closely.

This Cave Heaven, many times more robust than his, quickly swept away most of the self-exploding energy and slightly pressed down...

Just like extinguishing a firecracker.

The energy from the self-explosion of the Chaos Void disappeared without a trace.

And as most of the self-explosion's energy was shared by this powerful Cave Heaven, the remaining part was easily borne by Wu Changfeng.

"Sect Leader."

Wu Changfeng looked at the suddenly appearing figure and hurriedly greeted him.

He also spoke rather urgently, "Sect Leader, did I not mention to you the weakness of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation? Why..."

"I am aware."

Alkaid replied calmly, and then asked, "Can you still fight?"

Wu Changfeng quickly calmed himself.

He felt the boundless Demonic Flames that had appeared at the horizon's end and were quickly surging toward this direction. He knew now was not the time to argue over these issues.

"I can fight!"

Wu Changfeng responded resolutely, and simultaneously he glanced at the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation: "However, the City Defense Formation may need a hundred breaths' time to reactivate... The Yin Moon Sect approaches fiercely; they might not give us so much time..."

"It doesn't matter."

Alkaid put away a Shadow Retaining Stone he was holding.

The recording it contained was strikingly that of a Hollow Void War Immortal from the Jing Family destroying the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation.

This was evidence.

He then took out his Vice Sect Leader token and connected directly with the Supreme Elder Council.

"What is the matter?"

Soon, a Divine Sense transmitted from inside.

Alkaid quickly perceived and recognized the identity of this person.

How coincidental.

"Jing Yuntian, Supreme? So it is Supreme Jing taking duty this year?"

Alkaid asked calmly.

"Correct, you are using the highest communication channel to contact me, what has happened?"

"The Yin Moon Sect has launched a massive attack..."

Alkaid responded as if he was reporting, while looking at the surging demonic clouds.

The light of True Spirit shone, clearly revealing the hidden essences within the demonic clouds.

"Leading them is the Eight Desolations Demon Lord, the Supreme Elder of the Yin Moon Sect. Additionally, based on the Demonic Flames stirred up, there is also another Shattered Void Demon Cultivator, and up to five Refining Void Demon Cultivators present. I request the sect open the Transmission Formation to send reinforcements to the Southern Capital."

"What, such a thing! The audacity of the Yin Moon Sect!"

Jing Yuntian, upon receiving the news, burst into fury: "Hold on for a moment, I will immediately call a meeting of the Supreme Elder Council to discuss sending aid to the Southern Capital!"

Having said that, he terminated the communication.

Observing this, Alkaid's expression did not change.

Everyone was just following procedure, after all.

As for whether this procedure was useful or not...

Both Alkaid and Jing Yuntian were clear in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Wu Changfeng, who heard the exchange between Alkaid and Jing Yuntian, was filled with astonishment.

"Two Shattered Void Demon Cultivators... five Refining Void Demon Cultivators!?"

"To be exact, two Shattered Void Demon Cultivators, at least six Refining Void Demon Cultivators, and a group of Demon Cultivators making a show of force at the border seeking to draw us out," Alkaid explained, looking at the increasingly surging Demonic Flames. "A lion fights a rabbit with full force; having successively refined and killed Evil Pupil and Chi Sha, two Refining Void Demon Cultivators, demonstrating combat power not inferior to the peak of Refining Void, and having attained my Dao through the Void Dao Seed with extremely agile movement techniques, even if the Eight Desolations Demon Lord himself intervenes, he might not capture me easily. This time they are directly attacking our main base in the Southern Capital; relying on him alone, what makes him so confident? Summoning another Shattered Void Realm Supreme Elder and five Refining Void Demon Cultivators, though, is not beyond my expectations."

Wu Changfeng, observing how composed Alkaid appeared, had no idea where his confidence stemmed from.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he spoke with a hint of trepidation, "Could it be that the discord between you and Sect Leader Zong Wenxian was fabricated, a grand act you both staged together, all to lure the Yin Moon Demon Cultivators into the Southern Capital and then annihilate them in one fell swoop? Could it be that Supreme Elders are already lying in wait in the Southern Capital?"

Alkaid looked at him curiously: "No, there are only a few of us in the Southern Capital adept in Refining Void, and not a single Shattered Void."

Wu Changfeng's heart suddenly sank.

"Boom!"

In the moment of their exchange, the overwhelming demonic Qi had already enveloped the skies above the Southern Capital.

Leading the two...

One was the Eight Desolates Demon Lord, the Supreme Elder of the Yin Moon Sect.

The other was astonishingly another Supreme Elder from the Yin Moon Sect, self-proclaimed as the Dark Demon Lord.

"Eight Desolates, we agreed, the spoils on this human are mine!"

Within the rolling Demonic Flames, the Divine Senses of the Dark Demon Lord and the Eight Desolates Demon Lord continuously converged.

"I am only interested in his corpse and soul; that 40 billion profit, including the Dao Artifacts on him, are all yours!"

The Eight Desolates Demon Lord responded, his actions decisively swift: "But now is not the time for discussion. Everyone attack; do not waste words with him, nor give him any chance to breathe. Take advantage of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation being unable to activate and eliminate him with the force of thunder, and then leave."

As he spoke, the surging demonic flames behind him seemed to morph into a massive world-shadow.

This was unmistakably his Void Category Lifebound Daoist Art—Eight Desolates Purgatory!

Seeing the Eight Desolates Demon Lord make his move, the Dark Demon Lord did not waste time either; six pupil-like eyes seemed to emerge from the demonic flames behind him, gradually opening.

"Six Senses Deprivation!"

Without a word, without a conversation, the two sides hadn't even made direct contact.

The grand battle had already erupted in its most intense form.
