The Extre Path Demon Sect had ended their campaign in the Yunhua Mountain Range, occupying ninety percent of the territory that once belonged to Bachahei, the Demon Venerable. Although the Demon Race of Yunhua Mountain Range was discontented, they were disunited, and since the Extre Path Demon Sect acted within the agreed terms, the demons had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill in silence.
However, inside the Extre Path Demon Sect, there wasn't much of a joyful atmosphere because their Young Sect Master, Murong Haokong, had suddenly perished. Using his demise as a pretext, Wan Xiong Honor, Tu Wanxiong, interfered with the lower-level battle, bringing the campaign to a premature end.
Ten days after the end of the campaign, led by Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao, the Falling Wood Revered One, and Murong Haokong's master, six of the Extre Path Demon Sect's God Transformation Honorables arrived outside Mount Wendao seeking redress for their grievances.
Tension imdiately mounted at Wendao Sect as Yulu Honored One, Houde Honored One, and Zhiqin Honored One all exited their retreats and, together with Venerable Shenfeng, faced off against the six Divine Transformation Cultivator Honorables from the Extre Path Demon Sect.
"Duanmu Xiaoxiao, you co to Mount Wendao with such aggressive montum, what is the reason for this?" Yulu Honored One asked.
"Hmph, Jin Yulu, don't play dumb when you know exactly what's going on. Our Young Sect Master Murong Haokong perished, and it was your covert doing, wasn't it?
Murong Haokong died together with True Lord Kongbei. True Lord Kongbei had a dispute with your sect's Yu Qingtan over a young girl. Not long ago, that girl nad Shen Wanning was suddenly taken away—that was your doing as well, right?
Not long ago, Murong Haokong borrowed a plant of Dragon Blood Grass from Lotus Gate, and then, surprisingly, Lotus Gate wiped out the Blood Marionette Sect. We weren't going to quibble with you over these two matters, but you, with your utterly reckless and crazed actions, secretly killed Murong Haokong.
We are here to demand an explanation, return the relics of Murong Haokong and the territory of the Blood Marionette Sect, hand over Yu Qingtan and three Daoist Instrunts, and we will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, be prepared to face the wrath of our Extre Dao Sect," said Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao, the Falling Wood Revered One, with a thunderous aura.
The atmosphere turned extrely tense in an instant, as the aura of six powerful Divine Transformation beings pressed down on the air around Mount Wendao, as if even the surrounding air began to warp. Yulu Honored One's expression was grave; she was well aware of the strength of the Extre Path Demon Sect and knew that improper handling of the situation might lead to a great war.
"Honorable Luomu, your words are mistaken," said Houde Honoured One, stepping forward with a steadied and powerful voice. "Our Wendao Sect has always acted openly and honorably and would never secretly assassinate anyone. As for the demise of Young Sect Master Murong Haokong and the matter involving True Lord Kongbei and his disciples, we truly have no knowledge of it."
"Hmph, no knowledge? It seems you intend to deny everything!" retorted Honorable Luomu with a sneer and a chilling tone.
"Duanmu Xiaoxiao, your Extre Path Demon Sect is really as shalessly brazen as ever. The Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel abducted Shen Wanning, a disciple of our Wendao Sect who possesses the Fortune Cultivation Body, and Murong Haokong was sneaking around Lotus Gate engaging in petty thefts. Now that he has t an abrupt death, you randomly cast bla on others. I heard that not long ago, you were accusing the Demon Race of being responsible," said Venerable Shenfeng, moving forward with an icy voice.
"Feng Wuyue, I do not wish to engage in a war of words with you. Just tell us, will you give us an explanation or not?" said Tu Wanxiong, the Ten Thousand Heroes Revered One, licking his lips with a sinister tone.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people from Wendao Sect changed. They knew that today's matter could not end amicably. The six God Transformation Honorables from the Extre Path Demon Sect were too aggressive and clearly would not easily let go.
"Hmph, the Extre Path Demon Sect is truly domineering, demanding we hand over people and Daoist Instrunts, as well as give back territory. Ridiculous!" said Venerable Shenfeng, Feng Wuyue, with a cold laugh, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Since you refuse to give an explanation, don't bla us for not being polite! Dare you fight in the high altitude?" Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao of the Extre Path Demon Sect bellowed in rage, his aura surging wildly as the oppressive might of a Mid-Stage Divine Transformation Cultivator enveloped the entire Mount Wendao in an instant.
"Hmph, why wouldn't we dare!" snorted Honorable Yulu, also releasing the aura of the Divinity Transformation Stage. He took out a Middle-grade Dao Artifact, the Ten Extres Disc, and together with Venerable Shenfeng and two others, they broke through Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao's oppressive force and soared into the sky.
Zhu Mu Xiaoxiao and the other five God Transformation Honorables from the Extre Path Demon Sect followed suit. High-level cultivators typically choose to battle in high altitudes to prevent the fallout of their battles from killing too many lower-level cultivators; on one hand, such actions would incur the enmity of the majority in the Cultivation World, and on the other, it could hinder one's progress in cultivation.
At Mount Wendao, Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun imdiately activated the Sect's Great Array—the Ten Extres Protective Array—and then sought help from the All-World Academy, the Star Moon Sect, Cangqiong Sword Sect, the Huangs, and other Orthodoxy forces through a special communication thod.
All four of the Honorable Yulu's group were in the Initial Nascent Soul Stage, while Honorable Zhu Mu was at the Mid-Stage Divine Transformation and held a nurical advantage; there was no way for the Wendao Sect to win.
The commotion naturally alard Yu Qingtan as well, who made her way to the Heaven Inquiry Hall where Sect Master Kongbei Zhenjun, True Lord Xinghe, and many high-ranking sect mbers were gathered.
"Qing Tan, don't worry. You are rely an excuse that the Extre Path Demon Sect has found. They have harbored the ambition of a wolf for a long ti and have long wanted to make a move on us," said Kongbei Zhenjun, noticing Yu Qingtan's anxious expression and seeking to comfort her.
Yu Qingtan frowned, she hadn't expected the Extre Path Demon Sect to act so openly and aggressively. She had rescued Shen Wanning and eliminated the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel and his disciple, confident that she had left no evidence, but they didn't need any evidence; if they thought you did it, then you did it.
"Qing Tan, rest assured, a sect war will not break out so easily. The other sects will not sit idly by. However, we indeed need to strengthen our defenses," True Lord Xinghe also said to Qing Tan.
Then, Sect Master Kongbei began to issue a series of orders to bolster defenses at the borders with the Extre Path Demon Sect.
Yu Qingtan listened silently to the sect's arrangents, but her heart was far from calm. She understood that the Extre Path Demon Sect was so brazen because they were powerful; even though the Wendao Sect was also a major Orthodoxy sect, ever since Venerable Jiangxue went to the Central Domain, their strength had entered a period of decline.
Now a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Qing Tan could generally sense the state of the battle high above. Wendao Sect's four Divine Transformation Cultivators were barely maintaining a stalemate with the help of the Ten Extres Disc, but the situation was far from optimistic. Qing Tan considered whether to call on Demon Venerable Bai Chen for assistance but decided to wait; a fifth-stage battle would not end so quickly, and there could be other unforeseen changes.
Indeed, three days later, three powerful and sharp auras burst forth in the distant horizon. Like three swords, they cut through the sky in an instant, heading straight for Mount Wendao. The mighty pressure from these auras made all the cultivators on Mount Wendao tremble.
The people of Mount Wendao looked up to see three streaks of light speeding towards them, arriving overhead in a blink, heading straight to the fifth-stage battlefield above, where the fierce battle ca to an abrupt halt.
"It's the Tianji, Tian Quan, and Yuheng Sword Venerables from the Cangqiong Sword Sect!" Sect Master Kongbei said, his face brightening with excitent, and then he glanced at Qing Tan. Tianquan Sword Venerable was none other than Shentu Yijian, the one who had co to the Wendao Sect with the Invincible True Lord the last ti, a Mid-Stage Transformation Cultivator. Both Tianji and Yiheng Sword Venerable were at the Initial Divine Transformation Stage.
