These monks, with their odd attire and equipnt, were different from the projections summoned from the Immortal Sect’s Armory.
They had no fighting skills to speak of, relying entirely on their sharp weapons to gain the upper hand in battle.
But these monks had a strange characteristic.
That was their utter fearlessness in the face of death.
If a companion was slain, not only would they not feel sorrow or pain, but their faces would instead reveal sneering and laughter.
Even when it was their turn to die, they did not fear.
They just felt so regret and defiance.
Under the combined resistance of multiple forces, the offensive of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was held back.
There were even signs of the battle lines being pushed back in return.
At this mont, the decision made by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was sowhat unexpected.
They did not stubbornly continue their assault.
Instead, they chose to quit while they were ahead. Just like their arrival, they covered for each other and retreated in order.
The images from the Tianxuan Mirror abruptly ended there.
The stark contrast between the monts before and after imdiately sparked discontent among the monks who were excitedly watching the live broadcast in front of the Tianxuan Mirror.
"That’s it? They withdraw after a minor setback?"
"The battle isn’t over yet! Why retreat?"
"Afraid of dying? If you don’t dare to fight, I do! Let onto the battlefield!"
"Who gave the order to retreat? They should be killed!"
...
The crowd was agitated, yet they couldn’t change the decisions made on the battlefield.
That sa day, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals issued another announcent.
It stated that the recent battles were a display of their strength and a minor warning to the Five Elders Organization.
Their previous promise remained unchanged: if the Five Elders Organization were willing to hand over the Immortal Alliance Treasure, then negotiations could continue.
If the Five Elders Organization still refused to see reason, then the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals might have to co knocking every now and then for a "harvest."
Whether it would be war or peace depended entirely on the Five Elders Organization’s decision!
Clearly, this announcent was a naked threat.
In the past, the Five Elders Organization would simply have scorned such a statent, probably issuing a counter announcent filled with sarcasm and ridicule in response.
But tis had changed.
The sudden raid by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had indeed scared them.
Other thods were manageable.
But that Sky Petrol Arrow Net, which had been used in conjunction with the Heavenly Venerable Law Phases, was actually capable of affecting the five Immortal Sovereigns!
It should be known that unlike the Celestial Dharma Bearer who was practically a legendary figure within the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals,
the five Heavenly Sovereigns were real beings who governed and managed the Five Elders Organization.
And from ti to ti, they would issue "Heavenly Sovereign’s Edicts."
It could be said that the five Heavenly Sovereigns held an absolutely authoritative position in the hearts of the Five Elders’ Monks.
So one can imagine the shock in their hearts when they discovered that the weapons of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals could actually harm the five Heavenly Sovereigns, who were like divine beings to them.
In a panic, facing the lightning strike and deep advancent of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals could be understood.
Although they eventually reacted by counterattacking and temporarily repelling the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals,
chaos still spread within the Five Elders Organization during these days when the authority of the Heavenly Sovereigns had not fully recovered.
Those monks who were accustod to the existence of the Heavenly Monarch’s Principle were exposed for the first ti in the real Xuanhuang World without the Heavenly Monarch’s Principle.
The impact on them was profound.
For instance, when the Cultivators of the Kingdom of Reality suddenly discovered they could lie.
In a society where everyone subconsciously believed there were no lies in the world, the power of deceit was destructive.
Once the monks tasted the benefits brought by lies, deceit spread at a terrifying rate in the once Kingdom of Reality.
It was foreseeable that such chaos would not subside on its own before the power of the Tian Clan was restored.
Might makes right.
The current strength of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was now capable of dealing a fatal blow to the Five Elders Organization. Thus, the Five Elders had no choice but to submit.
What was more critical was that the Five Elders were unaware that all of the Chosen Immortals capable of invoking the Heavenly Venerable Law Phases had already perished.
In their view, those Heavenly Venerable Law Phases were like the Sky Petrol Arrow, powers that could be used again at any ti.
Therefore, the threat of the Immortal Alliance was sothing they had to face.
Two days later, a delegation composed of more than ten monks from the Five Elders arrived at the Immortal Alliance.
Officially, they had co to negotiate amicably, but in reality, it was a humiliating plea for peace.
And, indeed, they had brought what was called the "Immortal Alliance Treasure."
This caused the cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals to laugh for quite a while.
The negotiation process lasted for seven days.
The public was unaware of the specifics of the agreent that was reached.
But clearly, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals was very satisfied with the price the Five Elders had paid.
No further demands were made for retribution.
When the Five Elders’ delegation left dejectedly, a large-scale awarding of honors began.
The black-clothed cultivators did not ntion themselves, but instead introduced at great length the commander-in-chief of the campaign against the Five Elders Organization.
The Dharma Transmitter, Jiang.
The Sky Petrol Arrow and the Heavenly Venerable Law Phases that played a critical role in the surprise attack were all masterfully orchestrated by him.
This was also the first ti the Dharma Transmitter appeared before the general public of the Immortal Alliance.
Li Fan gazed at the figure widely circulated, a gaunt middle-aged man, unremarkable in appearance except for the distinctive goatee on his chin.
"Strange, the typically low-profile Dharma Transmitter has chosen to reveal himself," Li Fan frowned slightly, puzzled.
This was sothing that had never happened in his previous experiences in Reincarnation.
Li Fan speculated that it might be related to Mo Rubing, who had taken possession of a young Dharma Transmitter.
There was also a power struggle among the Dharma Transmitters.
Mo Rubing tried to control the Tianxuan Mirror through the Array Technique.
This might have triggered a sense of crisis in so people.
Therefore, by establishing rit in this campaign, he secured his own position.
But sothing about it felt off to Li Fan.
The plans for the Sky Petrol Arrow and the Chosen Immortals had been laid out long ago.
It was clearly a long-preditated sche.
Mo Rubing impersonating a Dharma Transmitter was a recent event.
"Or perhaps..."
"It really is about that ’Immortal Alliance Treasure’?"
Li Fan suddenly focused his attention on what all the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance believed to be a re "excuse."
"If it is true, what could be so valuable that the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals went to such great lengths?"
"It seems it’s ti for our United Federation of All Realms to take action again."
Thinking this, Li Qing’s avatar, feeling a sense of duty, left the Spirit Tree Realm once more and headed straight for the Five Elders’ Territory.
The Sky Petrol Arrow had been exhausted, and the secrets of the protection matrix along the border had been decrypted by Li Fan using the Final Separation Disk.
On her way, Li Qing encountered no trouble.
The recently victorious Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals had clearly relaxed their vigilance, allowing Li Qing to easily break through their lines and infiltrate the Five Elders Organization.
Several states along the border had been plundered by the Immortal Alliance, and not half a living person could be found when scanned by divine consciousness.
Using secret techniques for making contact, she continued toward the heartland of the Five Elders Organization.
It was only after crossing five states that cultivators gradually started to appear.
