The reason Nong Gufeng wanted to form alliances with these sects was actually to reassure them. Because the attack on the Azure Dragon Sect would make other sects very careful, if the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked their sect, the news might leak out. So the Blood Slaughter Sect planned to deal with those sects in a different way, a move called "luring the snake out."

The idea, proposed by Nong Gufeng, involves a deep alliance among the various sects. Given the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's formidable fighting power, they will surely agree. Once they agree, the Blood Slaughter Sect can have one of their controlled sects claim to have been attacked by the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Then, they can send Blood Slaughter Sect disciples to stage a scene, drawing the attention of other sects. Once those sects arrive, the Blood Slaughter Sect can wipe them out in one fell swoop, thus bringing those sects into their own hands.

It was because of this idea that Nong Gufeng proposed to form an alliance with other sects, and as they expected, the people from the other sects all agreed.

After Nong Gufeng discussed the matter with the other sects, the members of those sects all returned to their rooms and shared their findings with their respective sects. Their sects all agreed, and they exchanged communication arrays and teleportation array coordinates.

After this matter was resolved, Nong Gufeng immediately reported it to Wen Wenhai. Wen Wenhai was also very happy. He planned to wipe out all the people left in the sects of the Twenty-Three Sects before Zhao Hai dealt with the Twenty-Three Sects Alliance. In this way, once the Twenty-Three Sects Alliance was dealt with, the entire Nine Yang Immortal Palace area would fall completely into their hands.

Therefore, Wen Wenhai and his group had already started taking action long before they finalized the plan. They directly set up a magic array at the Jianhe Sect, which was personally set up by Wen Yuming. At the same time, Wen Wenhai also contacted all the kingdom-level experts in their sect and prepared to fish for them.

Once Nong Gufeng had confirmed the details, Wen Wenhai immediately gave the order to begin the next phase of the operation, while Zhong Wuya was also preparing to launch another attack on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

However, the Blood Slaughter Sect's plan was faster than that of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Soon, the Sword River Sect sent out letters of appeal to the other twenty-two sects, asking them to come and provide assistance.

The other sects were also surprised when they saw the letter, but after thinking about it, they understood that the Nine Yang Immortal Palace must be in a hurry. After all, their sect was currently being attacked by the allied forces of the Twenty-Three Sects. If they wanted to break the deadlock, they had to attack the Twenty-Three Sects' most vulnerable points. Only by hurting the people of the Twenty-Three Sects would the allied forces of the Twenty-Three Sects fall apart.

Upon receiving this news, all the kingdom-level experts from the other twenty-two sects, along with their elite disciples, entered the Sword River Sect via the teleportation array.

When those people entered the Sword River Sect, they discovered that a great battle was taking place there. Upon seeing this, they immediately joined in the battle. At the same time, they also saw Li Ruobing and his group, which made them even more certain that the attackers were from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect members had been keeping a close eye on the situation of the Twenty-Two Sects. As soon as they saw that all the members of the Twenty-Two Sects had arrived, Wen Yuming, who had been prepared, immediately ordered the activation of the barrier formation.

With the activation of the barrier array, the entire Sword River Sect was completely enveloped by a huge array. Then, Wen Yuming activated another array, which was an Illusion Killing Array. The Illusion Killing Array is very powerful. It is both an illusion array and a killing array. The killing array is hidden within the illusion array. Such an array has a very strong attack power.

As the magic array was activated, those people immediately disappeared into the illusion array, which greatly surprised them, because once they were trapped in the illusion array, they could not distinguish between enemies and their own people, which made their faces very ugly.

Moreover, they had just discovered that it seemed that the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace and the people from the Sword River Sect did not have any real conflict. They were initially somewhat skeptical, but now that they were suddenly trapped in the Illusion Killing Array, they realized that they had fallen into a trap. They all knew that this Illusion Killing Array could not be set up in a day or two. In other words, they had already set up the trap and were just waiting for them to jump in.

A sect's kingdom-level expert hovered in the air, looking around. Now, his surroundings were filled with ghostly energy and gusts of cold wind. He could also see fierce ghosts rushing towards him from time to time, but those ghosts were not very strong, and he easily eliminated them.

He dealt with one of the vengeful ghosts, then roared, "Sword River Sect, you shameless traitors! You've actually betrayed us and joined the Nine Suns Immortal Palace! You traitors! I will tell the people in the Allied Forces about this! They won't let you get away with this!" He wanted to use this method to force the Sword River Sect members out, but clearly, he had miscalculated this time. How could the Sword River Sect members possibly come out? No matter how much he cursed, it was useless. Instead, it attracted even more vengeful ghosts to attack him, and the other kingdom-level experts were in a similar situation.

Meanwhile, Li Ruobing and his group weren't idle either. Although the kingdom-level experts from various sects were extremely powerful, they were now trapped in the illusion array. They couldn't distinguish between enemies and allies, so they could only attack anything that came near them. However, the most domineering aspect of the Illusion Killing Array was that you didn't know whether what you were attacking was an illusion or a real thing. The Illusion Killing Array might just be creating an illusion to make you think it was an enemy, or it could hide your real enemy so you couldn't find them. By the time you realized your enemy had started attacking you, it was too late. Li Ruobing and his group took advantage of this to attack the experts from those sects.

In fact, Li Ruobing and his group only needed to deal with people from thirteen sects. After all, the people from the other sects had long been members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. The thirteen sects were quite generous this time, each sending one Kingdom-level expert, totaling thirteen Kingdom-level experts. However, the Blood Slaughter Sect sent more than twenty Kingdom-level experts, almost twice as many as the other side. With the help of the Illusion Killing Array, dealing with the Kingdom-level experts from the thirteen sects would be even easier.

The battle lasted for nearly three hours. Finally, all the people from those thirteen sects were wiped out, and the battle was considered over. After turning all the people from those thirteen sects into the undead race, they were sent back to their respective sects. Of course, each of them was also given a teleportation array, so they could go to the Blood Slaughter Sect on their own after returning.

After doing all this, the people from each sect sent a letter to the people of the Twenty-Three Sects Alliance, telling them about what happened at the Sword River Sect. However, they only told them that the people from the Nine Yang Immortal Palace attacked the Sword River Sect, but were repelled, and that they should not worry.

The members of the twenty-three allied forces breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this news. They were overjoyed, for their plan had succeeded. They had foiled the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's conspiracy, and now they would launch a full-scale attack on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Once they could break through the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, no one in this region would be able to dominate them anymore.

Zhong Wuya also heard the news. Their injuries had mostly healed in the past few days, and with the various sects' morale high after repelling the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, it was the perfect time to attack. Therefore, Zhong Wuya prepared to launch an attack. He immediately invited representatives from all the sects to his room. Once everyone was there, Zhong Wuya looked at them and smiled slightly, saying, "Judging from your expressions, I can tell you're all in high spirits, which is understandable. Repelling the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's attack is a great thing for us. I also want to take this opportunity to attack them. Last time, we destroyed the Nine Yang Immortal Palace's nine suns, greatly reducing the power of their Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation. This pushed the Nine Yang Immortal Palace to their limit; otherwise, they wouldn't have attacked the Azure Dragon Sect and the Sword River Sect one after another. Now is the time for us to attack them. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, their faces beaming with smiles. They were genuinely happy; in their eyes, they could now see the light at the end of the tunnel, so of course they were overjoyed.

Zhong Wuya spoke up: "However, I also want to remind everyone that although we destroyed the nine suns of the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, their Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation is still there. Although the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation is not as powerful as before, it still has some power. We must be careful, or we will still be in danger if we are not careful."

Everyone nodded, and Zhong Wuya continued, "How about this, let's invite Zhang Hongliang over and ask him about the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation, and see if he has anything to say. After all, when it comes to formations, none of us can compare to him."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhong Wuya immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Hongliang. Soon after, Zhang Hongliang was invited to Zhong Wuya's room. As soon as Zhang Hongliang arrived at Zhong Wuya's room, he was taken aback. Then he immediately bowed to everyone. Zhong Wuya said, "No need to be so polite, please don't stand on ceremony."

Zhang Hongliang responded and then stood up straight. Zhong Wuya looked at Zhang Hongliang and said, "Zhang Hongliang, we are preparing to attack the Nine Yang Immortal Palace tomorrow, but the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace is still in place. I want to ask you if you have any way to break this Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Hongliang, waiting for him to answer the question.

Zhang Hongliang glanced at them, then said, "The Nine Yang Immortal Palace's Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation has weakened considerably. For us, with our fire-avoidance formations, it no longer poses a significant threat. However, I believe the Nine Yang Immortal Palace likely has more than just this one defensive formation. The Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation is their external defense. Once we enter the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, we may face other defensive forces from their sect. I hope everyone will be extra careful." (End of Chapter)
