Chapter 2040: Chapter 2037: Schemes

In the Ancient Ruins, Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master were leading numerous experts from the Defying Heaven Alliance, encircling a massive planet.

"This is Heaven’s Gate’s lair!" Ximen Tian’s eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness: "We’ve spent so much time and resources, and finally found it."

The Storm Sect Master frowned slightly: "Ximen Family Head, is your information accurate? If the Master of Heaven’s Gate is here, wouldn’t we be in trouble..."

"Don’t worry, the Master of Heaven’s Gate is not here!" Ximen Tian said confidently: "Even if the Master of Heaven’s Gate were here, it wouldn’t matter. We’ve prepared well this time. If he dares to show up, our Ximen Family will give him an unforgettable lesson!"

The Storm Sect Master’s face changed upon hearing this: "Ximen Family Head, you didn’t use that thing, did you?"

Ximen Tian laughed heartily: "That’s right, I’ve brought out the God-Shooting Crossbow. If the Master of Heaven’s Gate dares to show up, I’ll let him taste its power!"

The God-Shooting Crossbow is the Ximen Family’s top-grade Divine Artifact, with the power to kill even a Half-step Immortal Realm expert. However, it’s usually kept hidden within the Ximen Family and rarely used.

But since last time Ximen Family Head was nearly killed by the Master of Heaven’s Gate, Ximen Tian has harbored a burning anger, and so he brought out the God-Shooting Crossbow. If they really encounter the Master of Heaven’s Gate, Ximen Tian wouldn’t mind letting him taste the crossbow’s fury.

"Our people are ready, and we’ve completely sealed off this planet. All that’s left is revenge and massacre!" The Storm Sect Master’s eyes flashed with coldness and excitement, finally able to wash away past shame.

Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master exchanged glances and smiled in unison: "In that case, let’s begin the attack!"

With a command, the experts of the Defying Heaven Alliance were unleashed instantly, charging toward the planet from all directions. The defensive formation on the surface of the planet only held for less than thirty breaths before shattering completely.

"Kill! Wipe out these remnants of Heaven’s Gate!"

"Blood for blood, slaughter them all!"

"The remnants of Heaven’s Gate must die!"

...

The experts of the Defying Heaven Alliance, oppressed by Heaven’s Gate, unleashed all their resentment and anger.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, organize a counterattack!"

The experts of Heaven’s Gate were bewildered, why did so many aggressive experts suddenly appear? Are they from the Defying Heaven Alliance? This is bad.

The Master of Heaven’s Gate was unknown to be secluded elsewhere, and there weren’t many experts left on this planet. Only about ten at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm, unable to exert significant combat power amidst the encirclement and pursuit by the many experts of the Defying Heaven Alliance.

Attempting to escape was even more unrealistic, as Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master had completely surrounded this planet. Their purpose this time was to make the remnants of Heaven’s Gate feel fear and pain, to understand who the true rulers of this world were.

Therefore, every remnant of Heaven’s Gate on this planet must die, and not a single one can be left!

Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master sat inside the airship, watching the intense battle below, smiles returned to their faces after being oppressed by Heaven’s Gate. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The blood below dyed the land, slaughter enveloped the entire planet, and after two days of massacre, not even a dog or chicken remained on the planet.

"Ximen Family Head, is Heaven’s Gate’s lair really this weak?" For some reason, the Storm Sect Master felt a foreboding premonition: "Given Heaven’s Gate’s strength, our losses seem too small!"

"That’s because we caught them off guard!" Ximen Tian said proudly: "And we brought top-notch experts this time, naturally exterminating them was easy!"

The Storm Sect Master shook his head: "For some reason, I feel uneasy, and haven’t you noticed, the top experts in Heaven’s Gate’s lair are fewer than we expected?"

Ximen Tian didn’t care, he was about to say something when suddenly a panicked expert rushed in: "Not good, both Vice Alliance Hierarchs, something terrible has happened!"

"What’s going on?" The Storm Sect Master’s heart skipped a beat, quickly asking.

"We just received news, our Defying Heaven Alliance’s base has been surrounded by members of Heaven’s Gate, they’re crazily attacking our base, and... our base’s forces are no match for them!"

Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master’s faces were filled with shock, the Storm Sect Master murmured to himself: "No wonder, no wonder I felt uneasy all along, it’s like this, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, we’ve fallen into their trap."

Ximen Tian shouted: "What are we waiting for, let’s return immediately! Set course back now."

"Too late!" The Storm Sect Master slammed his fist heavily on the table, staring with wide eyes and gritted teeth: "We’ve been outwitted by them, damn it, this is truly infuriating!"

Ximen Tian’s face looked unpleasant as well. If the Defying Heaven Alliance’s base were destroyed, as the planner of this operation, he would face immense pressure. After all, this operation was organized solely by him, and he even drew out most of the Defying Heaven Alliance’s combat power, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so easily besieged.

"Even so, we cannot give up!" Ximen Tian took a deep breath and said: "Our base houses our most vital data and members, Storm Sect Master, if Sect Master Ling returns to find the base destroyed and the Cheng family’s representative killed, what fury shall we suffer!"

"And more importantly, among the Cheng family members this time, is Cheng Minxue!" Ximen Tian said.

The Storm Sect Master sighed: "Return to the city, quickly, hopefully, the people at the base can hold out long enough for us to get back, though... such hope seems slim."

At the moment, in the Defying Heaven Alliance’s base, looking at the dense crowd of Heaven’s Gate experts outside, the people in the base were already in despair. Though the defensive array had been activated, everyone knew well that it wouldn’t withstand their frenzied assault.

"Miss, you must leave quickly!" Within the Cheng family, an expert said to the white-haired Cheng Minxue: "The enemy is overwhelming, we have little chance this time, we’ll escort the miss out at all costs."

Cheng Minxue looked at the Heaven’s Gate experts outside and sighed: "Do you think I can leave successfully? They’ve surrounded us completely, our chances of survival are slim!"

"But... if we strive, there’s still a sliver of hope!" The Cheng family expert said anxiously: "Moreover, before we came, the Family Head repeatedly instructed us to protect the miss, the miss cannot give up hope."
