Chapter 2076: Guardian Mansion Falls!
Chapter 2076: Chapter 2076: Guardian Mansion Falls!
Currently, news of the fall of the Banan Border has spread throughout the Fuyao Realm.
The term ’Holy Sect’ has made its first appearance in the public ear.
Some people panic, some mock.
And some are happy to see the Banan Divine Kingdom’s power reduced, as many rival forces welcome such an event.
...
Inside the Supervisory Temple, Observatory Hall.
Numerous majestic figures have gathered in the hall.
Sitting at the head are the Hall Master and the two Deputy Hall Masters.
The First Elder holds the shattered talisman fragments, his face somber: "A Blood Prison Soul Refining Array has appeared at the Banan Border; remnants of the Holy Sect have already broken through the border. This is a matter of utmost importance."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone present looked solemn.
The Supervisory Temple, as a subordinate to the Holy Court, is naturally aware of matters concerning the Holy Sect.
Now the Holy Sect is resurging, the Supervisory Temple cannot ignore it.
"Immediately dispatch nearby stationed temple inspectors, with the First Elder leading the team, swiftly head to Banan for aid!" the Hall Master ordered decisively.
Yet, just as the order was given, an urgent report was suddenly heard from outside the hall: "Report–! Sudden disturbance at the Northern Domain Nether River Abyss, suspected ancient seal loosening, Abyssal Demon Qi is leaking and has affected three cities!"
"What?!" The elders’ faces changed drastically.
The seal at the Nether River Abyss is of critical importance, if it completely breaks, and demons pour out, it will lead to a catastrophe sweeping through multiple realms.
"If something happens at the Nether River Abyss, it will soon affect the entire Fuyao Realm; this issue must be addressed immediately." The graceful female Deputy Hall Master frowned.
The Hall Master turned to Vice Hall Master Lin and asked, "Old Lin, what do you think?"
Vice Hall Master Lin immediately replied, "Take the originally designated personnel and head to the Nether River Abyss at once! As for the Banan issue... let nearby branch halls provide support for now, but the main force must first suppress the abyss disturbance!"
"But over at Banan..." The First Elder furrowed his brow.
"Though the Holy Sect matter is important, if the Nether River Abyss falls, the consequences would be unimaginable. Qin Zhao and Yang Shao are both at Banan, they are not incompetents, should be able to hold off for a while." Vice Hall Master Lin explained.
The First Elder furrowed his brow slightly, without waiting for his words.
The Hall Master made an immediate decision, "Order all inspectors around Banan to swiftly assemble at the border, must delay until the main force resolves the abyss crisis!"
...
Banan Divine Kingdom, Imperial City.
The current ruler Ba Tianque received a message from Ba Xiyue, angrily slammed the table: "Remnants of the Holy Sect dare to set up this Evil Formation within my Banan territory!
Order the Sacrificial Hall, have the Great Sacrificial Officer personally lead, taking twelve worshippers to immediately head to the border, break the formation and execute evil!"
Moments later, twelve streams of light shot up from the Imperial City, carrying overwhelming pressure directly towards the border.
...
Atop Qingcheng Mountain.
Qingcheng Old Daoist similarly received a message from Han Shouyi, after hearing the Banan Border had been breached, pondered, and took out a Sound Transmission Jade Slip, but it’s unclear what was said.
...
Outside the Banan Border city.
Currently, within the entire border city, constant screams and wails are heard, the ground has been thoroughly stained with dark red blood, and in the air, not only blood beads float densely, but countless resentful souls cry as they are absorbed into the Blood Domain Soul Refining Array.
Earthly purgatory...
"We can’t wait any longer." Ba Xiyue said, "Charge in! Find Huo Xiedao!"
Jiang Yi nodded, raised the Blood Saber in his hand, shouted, "Guardians of the Divine Country! Follow me into battle! We swear to protect Banan!"
In an instant, hundreds of Guardians behind him roared in unison, wielding long spears along with Jiang Yi to break through ahead!
Han Shouyi looked at Lu Mingyuan and asked, "Where’s Junior Sister Gu?"
Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "Don’t know, but her Life Plate hasn’t shattered; she should be alright."
Han Shouyi nodded, leading a group closely following behind the Guardians.
At this moment, within the city, border guard troops are still resisting with difficulty.
And the Holy Sect’s army... is entirely composed of evil puppets, processed from sect leaders, elders, and even sect disciples of annihilated sect forces.
This is also the terror of these evil cultivators.
If subordinates die, they can go outside to annihilate a sect force, not only to refine themselves but also to gain more manpower, losses can be neglected!
"It’s the Second Prince and the Guardians!"
"We’re saved!"
The blood-soaked border generals below witnessed this scene and cheered.
"Where’s Huo Xiedao?" Jiang Yi shouted.
One of the generals gritted his teeth and said, "The City Lord led his brothers in resistance for two days, eventually exhausting his last strength and was trapped by the Evil Formation in the Guardian Mansion; those damn evil cultivators seemed to want to refine the City Lord."
Currently, Huo Xiedao, being a Beginner Stage powerful cultivator, has greater exploitable value if made into an evil puppet.
"However..." At this moment, Hong Ying furrowed her brow and said, "If the opposition wishes to quickly break the city, achieving their purpose, killing City Lord Huo Xiedao might be more efficient."
If one side’s City Lord falls, most generals would surely lose morale.
Once morale is lost, annihilation happens in an instant.
Hong Ying, being an Empress, naturally understands this logic.
After listening, Ba Xiyue was the first to react, others also feel it seems reasonable.
Jiang Yi frowned and said: "Even so, we must first enter the Guardian Mansion, the core of the formation is at the Guardian Mansion."
Chu Ran pointed to Zhenyue Mountain, surrounded by dozens of black-robed, imposing evil cultivators maintaining the formation.
He retorted, "How? That peak of Formless Realm stronghold inside has at least seven people, do you think we can break through?"
Just as he finished speaking.
The space beside Ba Xiyue began to tremble violently!
Before anyone could react, a crack tore open from inside!
Twelve figures simultaneously emerged from the crack!
These twelve people bowed to Ba Xiyue, saying: "Princess."
Ba Xiyue’s face brightened, "Twelve worshippers!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
The Emperor actually sent all twelve worshippers from the Sacrificial Hall.
Ba Xiyue immediately ordered, "Tributor Zhao, can you handle those evil cultivators?"
The leader among them, Tributor Zhao carrying a sword, looked up, slightly frowned: "Seven peak Formless Realm? Resolving might be difficult, but holding them off isn’t a problem."
Ye Qiubai and others looked at these twelve worshippers in amazement.
Banan Divine Kingdom, indeed one of the Six Great Divine Countries in the Fuyao Realm; although not comparable to top factions, its heritage far surpasses conventional first-rate factions.
These twelve worshippers, all have the strength of the Formless Realm.
Including Tributor Zhao, at the peak of Formless Realm.
"Then it’s in your hands." Ba Xiyue bowed graciously.
The twelve worshippers immediately rushed to the group of formidable evil cultivators at Zhenyue Mountain.
Han Shouyi looked at Ning Chenxin and said: "I will help, Junior Brother be careful."
Seeing this, Lu Mingyuan also caught up with Han Shouyi.
The gray-robed old man and Jiang Yi similarly charged over!
Seven peak Formless Realm evil cultivators, the destructive power they cause can’t be judged by common sense.
"Let’s go inside." Ba Xiyue charged forward.
As everyone entered the Guardian Mansion,
they saw Huo Xiedao bound by countless blood-red chains at the center of the mansion, his breath feeble, countless wounds on his body deep enough to expose bones!
Huo Xiedao seemed to hear the commotion, slightly lifted his head, his cracked lips parted, "Your... Highness, quickly go..."
