Central Region.
Divine Continent.
The transcendent force, Jade Clarity Palace.
The Jade Clarity Palace was located in a self-created small world.
The spiritual energy here was rich and dense, far surpassing the other four regions.
"Senior Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing her senior sister staring into the distance in a daze, Liu Xue spoke up.
"Senior Sister has seemed distracted ever since she returned from the Eastern Region."
"Let me guess."
"Senior Sister, you wouldn't be thinking about the Master of Azure Cloud, would you?"
Liu Xue asked with a mischievous smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Leng Bingning hurriedly came back to her senses and said.
"Senior Sister, people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion have arrived."
Liu Xue noticed several people walking into the main hall from outside and recognized their identities from the clothes they wore.
"Ah? What are they doing here?"
"As far as I know, my Jade Clarity Palace has no dealings with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
Leng Bingning frowned.
"Senior Sister, have you forgotten?"
"That day, you said you wanted to protect the Azure Cloud Sect."
"The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's elder in the Eastern Region was killed by the Azure Cloud Sect. Don't you think they're here because of that?"
"What! No, I have to go see Master!" Leng Bingning hurriedly got up and ran towards the main hall.
"Haha."
"Senior Sister, and you still claim you haven't been thinking about the Master of Azure Cloud?"
Liu Xue laughed from behind, also hurriedly chasing after her.
Inside the main hall.
"Then Palace Master, we'll take our leave first."
"We've troubled you greatly, farewell!"
Leng Bingning and Liu Xue had just arrived when the people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were already leaving.
"Master."
"Bing'er, Xue'er, you've come."
The Palace Master of the Jade Clarity Palace was a middle-aged woman, but her charm remained, her skin as well-maintained as a young girl's, and time had left no traces on her face.
"Master, what did the people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion come here for?"
Leng Bingning walked over with her long legs and asked curiously.
"It's strange. The elders of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion came to ask us if we had any connection with the Azure Cloud Sect in the Eastern Region."
"These people are truly baffling. How could my dignified Jade Clarity Palace, a transcendent force, have any connection with a small sect in the Eastern Region?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Clarity Palace appeared slightly disdainful. Their Jade Clarity Palace was a transcendent force in the Central Region after all, so how could they have any dealings with an unknown small sect in the Eastern Region?
"Master... this Azure Cloud Sect has some connection with Bing'er," Leng Bingning hesitated for a moment before saying, hearing that it was indeed so.
The Palace Master of the Jade Clarity Palace on the main seat slightly furrowed her brows.
"What? Bing'er, you know this Azure Cloud Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Bingning and Liu Xue told the Palace Master in detail about their experiences traveling in the Eastern Region and everything they had seen and heard about the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Heavens! So the Azure Cloud Sect is actually strong enough to rival the transcendent forces of the Central Region!"
"To think that in the small Eastern Region, there is such a transcendent sect!"
The Palace Master of the Jade Clarity Palace was surprised, her brows furrowing even more.
"Yes, Master. When Senior Sister and I first went to that Azure Cloud Sect, we were shocked at every turn."
"If this Azure Cloud Sect is really as you described, then there's even less to worry about. Such a transcendent sect naturally wouldn't fear the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"But..."
Leng Bingning wanted to say something but was interrupted by the Palace Master.
"There are no buts. If they want to gain the goodwill of our Jade Clarity Palace, they naturally have to show corresponding strength."
Weak sects have no diplomacy. The goodwill between two forces is built on equal strength and the exchange of benefits.
On the other side.
Eastern Region, Batian City.
Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Main Hall.
"Haha, this Azure Cloud Sect is just bluffing and has fooled you all!"
"I told you, how could an unknown sect in the Eastern Region have any connection with a transcendent force in the Central Region?"
The elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion who had received the news laughed heartily.
"The main pavilion has already sent news that they sent people to inquire with the Jade Clarity Palace, and they don't know this Azure Cloud Sect at all!"
"The woman who stood up that day was just a plant hired by the Azure Cloud Sect!"
"That's great!"
"My Lord, when do we make our move?"
They couldn't wait to take their revenge.
If they could seize some of the Great Emperor's inheritance from the Azure Cloud Sect at that time, wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Today."
"This old man's time is precious, and the spiritual energy in this Eastern Region is far too scarce."
"This old man coughs if he doesn't absorb the spiritual energy of the Central Region."
"Yes, yes."
The spokespersons of the various sects could only smile obsequiously.
"Coughing without absorbing the spiritual energy of the Central Region? If not for your high cultivation, I'd have shown you that a slap in the Eastern Region stings just as much as one in the Central Region!"
Before long, the various major forces moved out one after another.
The three overlord-level forces:
Luo Yang Pavilion, Blazing Fire Sect, Heavenly Sword Gate.
The top ten forces:
Fu Yang Sect, Scarlet Law Sect, Ink Sea Sect, Heavenly Illumination Sect, Blazing Fire Sect, Sword Sect, Heaven and Earth Society, Beast Taming Sect, Expelling Yang Sect, Sun Moon Divine Sect.
And more than twenty first-rate forces.
Under the leadership of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the various forces surged towards the Azure Cloud Sect like a tidal wave.
Huge warships that blotted out the sky charged recklessly, and everywhere they went, there was a sea of people.
Everyone wanted to witness this epic battle with their own eyes.
"They're here, they're here!"
"The various forces have moved out!"
"Heavens! So many warships!" a man exclaimed.
The dense warships in the sky shocked everyone in the city.
The entire Ling Province was in an uproar!
The last time so many major forces besieged a single power... it turned into a complete mess.
"It seems the Azure Cloud Sect is finished, so many major forces are participating."
"That's right. Even the second-rate sects in our city wanted to participate, hoping to get some scraps behind the major forces. Guess what?"
"They clearly weren't welcome and were told to stay out of the way."
"Haha!"
At the same time, within the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Sect Master."
Old Ancestor Ling Qingyun stood respectfully behind Feng Qingyang.
His Great Emperor realm divine sense enveloped the entire Eastern Region, and he was already fully aware of every movement of the major forces.
"Let's go, it's time to stretch our muscles."
"Since they want to play, then my Azure Cloud Sect will play with them properly."
Outside the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, the various forces arrived.
"My Lord, according to the information, the Azure Cloud Sect is located in this mountain range."
"Hiss------"
The old man at the front of the warship took a deep breath.
"This is truly a land blessed by the heavens!"
"The spiritual energy is incredibly abundant!"
"This old man's cough has even subsided temporarily."
Everyone else hurriedly sensed it as well.
"! "
"The spiritual energy here is actually several times richer than the outside world!"
Everyone had different thoughts, all thinking that after destroying the Azure Cloud Sect, such a treasure land couldn't be wasted. Should they move their own sects here?
"If you want to attack the Azure Cloud Sect, you'll have to step over the corpses of my Lin family first!"
Just then, a voice that resounded through the clouds came from the east.
A warship sailed over.
It was the Lin family, a top-tier force that had rushed over.
"Who are these people? Are they courting death?"
"That's right, with all these major forces gathered, and they still come here to meet their end."
This scene also confused the onlookers in the distance. Could they be reinforcements invited by the Azure Cloud Sect?
"Looking at the insignia on the warship, it seems to be the Lin family, a top-tier family from Heavenly Martial City."
"The Lin family? Why would they help the Azure Cloud Sect?"
"I heard that the Lin family is an affiliated force of the Azure Cloud Sect."
Lin Zhan took the lead, standing at the very front.
Their Lin family had two True Realm cultivators, ten Spirit Transformation cultivators, and fifty Nascent Soul and Void Refining cultivators each.
It could be said that all the strong individuals above the Golden Core stage of the Lin family had been dispatched.
"Everyone understood that these people were like eggs against rocks, mere mantis trying to stop a cart, when compared to the major forces."
But if the Azure Cloud Sect won, the Lin family would soar to the sky in one step!
