1116 Sword Holders, Appear! (2)
Behind them were thousands of blood-armored and blood-
robed battle cultivators, each with a cold and indifferent expression, exuding a strong murderous aura. Wherever they went, it felt like a dark cloud pressing down, displaying extraordinary momentum.
They weren’t cultivators from the Holy Wave Large Region but from the Imperial City. They were the guards that the Seventh Prince had brought with him back then.
Each of them rode on a black giant lizard covered in armor. As they got closer to the county capital, a domineering and destructive intent spread out from them.
Among the ten thousand cultivators, there was a tall canopy held high, and beneath it, a white flying elephant was particularly conspicuous.
Sitting on the white elephant was a middle-aged man in armor. His appearance was ordinary but when he opened and closed his eyes, a sharp and cold light flashed past.
There were more than ten golden-armored figures in his surroundings, and every one of them emitted terrifying Nihility energy fluctuations, causing black clouds to form in the sky. As they moved forward, these black clouds also followed.
Beside the white elephant was an old man.
This old man’s face was covered in wrinkles and there were marks in his eyes that were like shooting stars. As he followed, he looked at the Fenghai County capital city that was being held up by the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether statue in the distance. A hint of resentment and hatred appeared on his face.
“Xue Lianzi, Zheng Kaiyi, and that b*stard Xu Qing!”
The old man gritted his teeth as the flames of hatred in his heart burned intensely.
The middle-aged man on the white elephant swept his gaze across the old man and smiled faintly.
“Soaring Cloud, you should have many old friends here, right?”
When the old man heard this, he immediately bowed respectfully and cupped his fists.
“Lord Military Governor, please allow me to catch up with my old friends later.”
He gritted his teeth as he said the words ‘old friends’.
The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.
This old man was none other than Saintly Star’s grandfather, Soaring Cloud Ancestor of the Eight Sects Alliance’s Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.
In the past, because of Saintly Star, he was punished to be confined for 60 years. However, upon the arrival of King Tian Lan, the Alliance Leader released him before he betrayed the Eight Sects Alliance. After learning of everything, Soaring Cloud Ancestor chose to follow and join the Seventh Prince.
He had put in a lot of efforts to get the chance to accompany the military governor here.
He wasn’t worried that Fenghai County would resist because in the current situation, resistance would speed up its death.
In fact, he was even looking forward to it.
If they resist, they’ll definitely die. Even if they don’t resist, all that’s waiting for them will be death!’
‘Alas, my grandson clearly had the potential to become an ancient sovereign. However, that b*stard Xu Qing was jealous of my grandson’s potential and sinisterly persecuted him!’
‘And my son died tragically because of Zheng Kaiyi!’
‘The root of all this is Xue Lianzi!’
‘Your entire lineage will have to die!’
The killing intent in Soaring Cloud Ancestor’s eyes was intense. He gazed at Fenghai County in front of him and waved his right hand. Immediately, the black clouds in the sky churned with his thoughts, forming bolts of lightning that streaked across the sky and gathered into a huge lightning dragon. With a deafening roar, it headed straight for the Fenghai County capital city.
It wanted to tear it apart.
In an instant, the lightning dragon arrived in the air above the capital city. Just as it was about to land, a figure appeared in front of the lightning dragon and pressed down.
The lightning dragon was blocked. No matter how it struggled, it was useless. In the end, it exploded, forming an arc-shaped lightning rain that enveloped Fenghai County.
The entire Fenghai County was silent. All the mortals were requested to stay at home and not go out.
Only the cultivators from the three palaces and the elites of the various sects who were seen as willing to live and die with Fenghai County looked at the sky with anger.
Among them were seen as Yao Yunhui, Li Shitao, the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples, and many others Xu Qing was familiar with.
However, his second senior brother wasn’t around, nor was Kong Xianglong.
As the army arrived with oppressive momentum, the black clouds in the surroundings churned even more intensely. From afar, compared to them, Fenghai County was like a lone boat in the raging waves that could capsize at any moment.
In the army, the middle-aged man on the white elephant yawned and casually said.
“You know best how deep the foundation of Fenghai County is. You have fifteen minutes to complete the conscription. I still have to go to the next destination.”
As he spoke, he picked up an ancient book and started reading. It was as though he didn’t care about what happened next at all.
The soldiers and battle cultivators beside him also looked on coldly.
Only the cultivators in front who were originally from Fenghai County were shouting vigorously, including Soaring Cloud Ancestor.
He looked down at the person who had destroyed his lightning dragon with killing intent.
“Zheng Kaiyi!”
The old man in the air was none other than Old Master Seventh.
He gazed at the army with a gloomy expression. He waved his hand slightly and dispersed the arc of lightning on his palm. At the same time, behind him, figures appeared one after another.
First, it was Marquis Yao, then the succeeding three Palace Masters, the deacons of the various palaces, and even experts from the various sects. All the Nihility cultivators appeared in the sky.
Xue Lianzi, Yanyan’s grandmother, and three sect masters of the Eight Sects Alliance were seen as also present.
All of them had solemn expressions.
However, compared to before Xu Qing left, there were seen as much fewer of them now.
Those who weren’t present had either changed sides or died in battle.
There was also a woman in the crowd. She wore a long purple dress that was like redbuds blooming in the sky. Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful. She was none other than Zi Xuan.
She stood there and was very conspicuous. Moreover, from her location, it was obvious that her status was different from others and was even higher.
However, there seemed to be a frown on her face, making her seem a little depressed. She gazed coldly at Soaring Cloud Ancestor and the army behind him.
The entire Fenghai County was silent.
The arrival of the army formed a huge pressure that enveloped everyone in Fenghai County. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to send out their troops, but they had reached their limit.
