Bright Mirror Lake, Lin Family.
When the news came that Lin Kewu ranked second on the New Talent List, the entire Lin Family was swept into a sea of jubilation.
All the Lin Family disciples, along with those familiar with the Lin Family, immediately regarded Lin Kewu as a role model and idol.
This suddenly elevated Lin Kewuâs motherâs status within the family, making her the Patriarchâs main wife, while the former main wife stepped down without objections. After all, Lin Kewuâs mother had given birth to an extraordinarily talented child.
They couldnât even comprehend the vastness of Heaven and Earth Lake.
Yet in such a grand world, Lin Kewu managed to stand out and become widely renowned. It was evident how exceptional Lin Kewu had become.
All of this was achieved after joining the Immortal Sect.
The Lin Family was thrilled and resolved to send more of their elite to the Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, the powers within the Hundred Sects Alliance quietly sent their outstanding children to Cangwu City, regardless of other concerns.
Everyone hoped their child could join the Immortal Sect and become someone akin to Lin Kewu.
However, amidst the cityâs celebrations, no one noticed the sudden appearance of two outsiders at the city gates.
The pair were Mountain Suppression Realm experts from the Hundred Sects Alliance.
After entering the city, they disappeared.
At the same time, families like the Luo Family at Bright Mirror Lake and the Biyue Family at Zimo Lake, having witnessed the Immortal Sectâs fame spread across Heaven and Earth Lake, secretly sent their distinguished children to Cangwu City, longing for another fortunate soul to join the Immortal Sect.
The families secretly regretted not seizing the opportunity when Luo Mi, Hua Xiaozhu, and Biyue Yi joined the Immortal Sect with such ease.
All that was needed was money.
However, they realized that now the Immortal Sect no longer offers even the chance to pay for entry.
No matter the talent, at the sectâs gate, one couldnât even see the face of an Elder, being told directly that the Immortal Sect isnât accepting new members.
Of course, others felt even deeper regret.
Though Luo Family and Biyue had regrets, they understood that with Luo Mi, Hua Xiaozhu, and Biyue Yi within the Immortal Sect, they certainly held advantages. If others sent their children, chances of entry were slim, but due to Luo Mi and othersâ connections, their three families had significantly enhanced chances.
As people fervently selected individuals to dispatch to the Immortal Sect, like those of the Lin Family, no one noticed the strangers outside their gates.
Six Mountain Suppression Realm experts from the Immortal Sect stood outside the gates of the three families, divided into three groups.
But they didnât rush in right away.
They feared mistakenly taking lives or apprehending the wrong people.
Besides, a few Mountain Suppression Realm experts appeared at East Lakeâs Flying Fish Island.
Due to their location in East Lake, they moved very cautiously, ensuring no Immortal Sect members were present before daring to go ashore.
...
Xuanse Lake.
Mountain and Sea City.
Mountain and Sea City, one of the gathering places for the Hundred Sects Allianceâs coalition, at this moment had upwards of twenty or thirty thousand people.
From the stretch of tents outside Mountain and Sea City extending over several miles, it was clear there wouldnât be fewer than thirty-three.
Due to the orders from the Golden Level Chief, new tents were continually erected these days, and the Alliance army within Mountain and Sea City kept expanding.
Yet Iron Mountain Pavilion in Mountain and Sea City was the same as ever.
Neither participating nor opposing.
However, faced with the Golden Level Chiefâs command, even those at Iron Mountain Pavilion started hesitating.
They feared the Immortal Sect, and also feared the ones behind the Immortal Sect.
But as the Golden Level Chief stood as the highest elite of the Hundred Sects Alliance, ignoring their orders wouldnât be proper.
As the ominous dark clouds of conspiracy overshadowed the families at Bright Mirror Lake and Zimo Lake, with a tempest seemingly impending, Weiseng Xingyu appeared outside Mountain and Sea City at Xuanse Lake.
No one paid attention to his arrival.
Gazing at the endless line of tents, Weiseng Xingyu coldly murmured, "Letâs begin with you lot."
Weiseng Xingyu covered his face with a black veil and walked down towards the camp.
In Mountain and Sea City, nobody glanced twice at Weiseng Xingyu.
Due to the recent influx of diverse people in Mountain and Sea City.
As Weiseng Xingyu walked a hundred yards through the camp tents, at the spots he passed first, one person after another fell down frothing at the mouth.
Soon enough, their entire faces turned bluish, appearing terrifyingly grim.
This sight sent chills down oneâs spine.
Thud!
Thud!
As Weiseng Xingyu proceeded step by step, the sound of bodies collapsing followed in succession.
As the numbers increased, people began to gather at the site of the incident.
It was just then, while people gathered, Weiseng Xingyu chuckled mockingly, saying, "People dare come here, still?"
Then, Weiseng Xingyu muttered secretly to himself.
Everyone knows the Rebirth Body can protect life.
Itâs extremely rare and a greatly cultivated Spirit Body.
But few understand that the life-saving aspect of the Rebirth Body comes with a cost.
Behind surviving once is a form of torment.
Because endless toxins will accumulate inside the body.
Therefore, the Rebirth Body is also called the Extinction Body by him.
When the toxins within the body are released, they kill every living creature, including Earth Unrestricted Experts.
"Ah! Everyoneâs dead!"
"How can everyone be dead!"
At this moment, cries of alarm started coming from the camp.
These screams were mixed with the continuous sounds of falling bodies, which made Weisheng Xingyu feel quite delighted.
He really loved these kinds of sounds!
This is the most beautiful melody in the world!
As people from Mountain and Sea City kept coming out to check the situation, the death toll began to rise rapidly, until slowly, some realized something was wrong and started to escape, others then noticed it tooâa formless force was killing them.
Some noticed this, naturally, Mountain Suppression Realm people noticed the existence of Weisheng Xingyu as well.
Compared to those people, Mountain Suppression Realm could perceive the unusual Qi emanating from Weisheng Xingyuâs body.
But before realizing it, one was captured by Weisheng Xingyu with one hand, like a chick, and lifted up.
"Help me pass this message to your so-called Silver Level Chief, Golden Level Chief, Luo Family, Biyue Family, etcetera, for every dead person they have, Hundred Sects Alliance will have a hundred thousand dead. Today is just a warning, by tomorrow morning, people inside Mountain and Sea City...might all die!"
After saying this, Weisheng Xingyu directly threw him back into Mountain and Sea City.
At this point, the camp had already reached its end.
Weisheng Xingyu wandered around outside the city, changed his clothes, and found a place to stay in Mountain and Sea City.
When he heard people say that there were corpses everywhere outside the city, unlike others, Weisheng Xingyu wasnât terrified; instead, he had a faint smile.
Want to compete in limitless ways?
Heâs not afraid!
...
Night fell.
The silence of Mountain and Sea City tonight was terrifying.
No one dared to go into the streets, and the tens of thousands who died violently outside the city had no one to collect their bodies.
The words Weisheng Xingyu said to the Mountain Suppression Realm began to spread within Mountain and Sea City.
However, no one understood the meaning.
Even more, they couldnât understand why it involved the forces of Bright Mirror Lake and Zimo Lake.
At this time, what happened in Mountain and Sea City reached the ears of Wen Venerable.
Upon hearing Luo Family, Biyue Family, Wen Venerable and others immediately understood.
The Immortal Sect knew their plan!
And has made the first move.
With one move, they killed tens of thousands in the coalition.
The strangest and most terrifying thing for Wen Venerable and the others was the bizarre scene of the few thousand deaths.
"What do we do now?"
Wen Venerable looked at the newly appointed Silver Level Chief who had come up with this plan.
"This doesnât seem like the style of the Immortal Sectâalthough theyâre vengeful, they wouldnât just kill tens of thousands to threaten us." The newly appointed Silver Level Chief was now terribly panicked, completely unprepared for this situation.
He thought that this bottomless approach could constrain the Immortal Sect tightly.
The newly appointed Silver Level Chief continued, "If the Immortal Sect were so bloodthirsty, they wouldnât have been able to leave Vast City so easily!"
"Are you saying it wasnât done by the Immortal Sect?" Wen Venerableâs cold eyes pinned the counterpart, displeasure creeping onto his face.
He really wanted to remove him from the Silver Level Chief position.
Clearly just an unscrupulous person without much talent, yet appreciated by the Earth Unrestricted Expert from Shrouded Sky Tower.
"Not necessarily! While the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect wouldnât retaliate like this by killing, it doesnât mean everyone in the Immortal Sect is like that."
"The words of that person were not lacking in warning us to stop the first step. Even if theyâre not from the Immortal Sect, they are likely related."
"So do we stop now or continue?"
"Continue, are you crazy? The opponent can silently kill tens of thousands, while our people find nothing. If he continues to kill, we will truly pay such a huge price for a war thatâs yet to begin?"
"Yes, if this continues, the heart of the Hundred Sects Alliance will surely dissipate. People are selfish, and when the risk of punishing the Immortal Sect outweighs the benefits, the number of people exiting will be significant."
The members of the Hundred Sects Alliance began discussing.
Wen Venerable looked troubled, "Stopping is definitely necessary, otherwise the Immortal Sect hasnât collapsed, but our situation will first turn into chaos. However, it doesnât matter what we say now, the true order to implement this action comes from Di Ting senior of Shrouded Sky Tower."
Upon hearing this, everyone revealed difficulty.
Indeed.
The decision-making isnât in their hands!
"Hereâs the plan, let them refrain from action, find some reason to stall Di Ting senior. Since the first step of the plan canât be executed, letâs proceed to the second step directly. Weâll deal with the Immortal Sect disciples anyhow. Whether they leave or stay in the Immortal Sect, the overall impact isnât substantial."
Gong Cao stood up and shared his thoughts.
After gaining approval from many, Gong Cao glanced at the crowd and continued, "The Immortal Sectâs ability to know our plan before we act implies thereâs someone of theirs among us. Given that, kindly relay to Sect Leader Wen that as long as his people donât proceed, neither will we with the first step plan."
